Despicable Games [lower part]

Hua'er is worthy of being the number one card in the Zuixian Tower, her appearance, posture, behavior and temperament are not comparable to the girls downstairs.

"I heard from my mother that someone said I was a 'cannibal ghost'? Did Catcher Lu believe that man's words?" Hua'er Qianqian picked up the white porcelain teapot on the table with her fine fingers, and poured tea for Du Qianlin and Kang Wenwen.

"Please." Hua'er pushed the teacup in front of Du Qianlin, gesturing with her right hand.

Du Qianlin thanked him with a nod, took a sip of tea and said, "It's not that I think you're an 'ogre'. I'm just here to ask about what happened last night."

Kang Wenwen sat aside, drinking tea seriously.

It's jasmine tea. Although Kang Wen can't smell tea, this tea smells a little milky, and it tastes sweet and jasmine.

"Last night? Did something happen last night?" Hua'er looked at a loss, not sure if she really didn't know, or her acting skills were too good.

Du Qianlin asked, "When did you go to bed last night?"

Hua'er gently supported her chin with her index finger, and pursed her lips in thought, "Mmm... Shushi."

when?Du Qian Lin Xin said, that is from 19:21 to 19:[-].It was [-]:[-] when I and Wen Wen were attacked in the yamen last night, when it was just dark.

"What time is the garrison?" Two hours is too broad.

Hua'er bit her lips lightly with her white teeth, she looked pitiful, "I can't remember, it should be three o'clock."

Du Qianlin looked at Hua'er's innocent appearance, and said in a businesslike tone, "Then what time do you usually go to bed?"

"This...why Butou Lu always asks people when they go to bed at night." Hua'er bowed her head shyly and swayed her body.

Kang Wenwen held the cup and watched Hua'er's every frown, smile, and every move.

Seeing Hua'er twisting and turning, Du Qianlin rolled his eyes in his heart, but saw Kang Wenwen staring at Hua'er, and felt displeased.

"What are you looking at?"

"Ah?" Kang Wenwen came back to his senses, "No."

Du Qianlin narrowed his eyes slightly.But did not continue to ask.

After asking a few more questions, Hua'er dismissed them lightly, as if playing Tai Chi. Du Qianlin hardly asked any useful information.

Leaving Hua'er's room, Du Qianlin asked the bustard again, "What time does Hua'er usually go to bed?"

The bustard covered her face and smiled, "Oh, this... I don't know either. Sometimes I just accompany the guests... When do they sleep, I can't keep watching."

Du Qianlin heaved a sigh of relief, and pulled Kang Wenwen out.

"Mom, mom. The steward of the rich man's house is here~" a girl ran downstairs and said to the madam.

The old bustard smiled immediately and left Du Qianlin and Kang Wenwen behind, as if she had seen her own parents who hadn't seen each other for several years.

"Hey! Manager Wang is here~ Are you going to reserve a seat at my Zuixian Tower again this time?"

Du Qianlin and Kang Wenwen stood in the upstairs corridor, looking down at the 'Wang Guanshi' downstairs.

"Haha, our master said that tonight, we will invite the county magistrate and Gao Xianren to have a drink, and we will invite Miss Hua'er to accompany you by name. Madam, please don't let Miss Hua'er pick up other guests again, because you will get someone else's taste The master will be angry." Wang Guanshi is not too old, he looks like he is in his early thirties, he is wearing silk clothes, and the shoes are not stained with dirt and dust, so he looks like a member of a rich family.

"Oh, don't worry. My Zuixianlou now depends on the rich man to live. If the rich man still thinks about flowers, our Zuixianlou would have asked the gods to go their separate ways long ago, and everything that should be scattered would be scattered." It's gone." The old bustard tossed the handkerchief in his hand and smiled wrinkled all over his face.

"Just this night..."

"Did the proprietress forget that Gao Xianren is here? Why are you afraid of 'ogre ghosts' with him?"

Steward Wang said mysteriously.

But the old bustard immediately waved a handkerchief and joked, "Of course I'm not afraid. With the protection of the immortals, we must devote ourselves to serving several lords."

Steward Wang glanced around at the girls around him, and said with a satisfied smile, "As long as your arrangement satisfies my master, don't make any mistakes, and the Wang family can still afford this ration in Zuixianlou."

"Hey hey~ I'm sure it won't make the rich man happy~" The wrinkles on the old bustard's face were about to bloom.

Du Qianlin propped his chin, leaned on the wooden railing and looked at Guanshi Wang downstairs.

"I don't know if the Immortal Gao invited by the rich man tonight is an Immortal who came to catch ghosts?" Du Qianlin said loudly.

Steward Wang frowned and looked up at Du Qianlin.

The bustard immediately apologized to Guanshi Wang and said with a smile, "Catcher Lu is just here to ask Hua'er about something. There is absolutely no way to get close without paying any money." The latter sentence explained in a low voice.

When Guanshi Wang heard this, his face became weird, and he looked at Du Qianlin with pity.

Although Du Qianlin didn't hear what the bustard and Guanshi Wang said, he knew from Guanshi Wang's expression that the bustard didn't say anything good.

Steward Wang ignored the bustard and went straight upstairs.

The old bustard thought that Guanshi Wang was angry, and kept explaining and making amends.

Du Qianlin looked at Guanshi Wang who came to him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?"

But Guanshi Wang sighed softly, and said, "Captain Lu, hurry up and avenge the thieves caught in our county. Why don't you even have money for "drinking"? How about this, Catcher Lu, which girl you fancy, I'll treat you."

Du Qianlin stared at Guanshi Wang for a while, just when Kang Wenwen felt that he was going to hit someone.Du Qianlin raised his hand and took Kang Wenwen into his arms.

"No need, I already have a wife. And I love him deeply, and I don't intend to cuckold him."

Steward Wang immediately rolled his eyes.

Kang Wenwen secretly twisted Du Qianlin's back with his hands, and looked at Guanshi Wang with a sneer.

"Heh." With a polite smile, Kang Wenwen left the two of them and went downstairs.

"Hey, Wen Wen." Du Qianlin hurried to catch up.

Manager Wang shrugged helplessly and followed with a smile.

Leaving a room full of petrified girls and that mother-san.

--in a hidden alley

Du Qianlin grabbed Du Qianlin's wrist with one hand, and beat Guanshi Wang with the other.

"Are you sick?" Du Qianlin glared at Steward Wang.

Manager Wang hugged the stomach that had just been beaten, laughing and ouching.

Kang Wenwen couldn't break free and could only watch the two of them fight with a look of lovelessness.

"I'm not joking." Guanshi Wang laughed until tears came out, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and smiled at Du Qianlin.

Du Qianlin stared at him blankly, "It's not funny at all, do you think you are humorous?"

"What clues have you found during this time?" Du Qianlin asked.

Seeing that Du Qianlin was serious about the matter, Wang Guanshi put away his smiling face, "You all should know about the 'ogre ghost' by now."

Seeing that Du Qianlin and Kang Wenwen were not surprised, Guanshi Wang nodded and continued, "The rich man's treat tonight seems to be related to this 'ogre'."

Du Qianlin and Kang Wenwen looked at each other, Du Qianlin turned his head and asked, "How is it related?"

Steward Wang shrugged and said, "I really don't know the specifics. Although I am the steward of the rich man's family and I know his basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, he didn't mention this to me too much."

"Then we must attend the banquet tonight." Du Qianlin said in a deep voice.

Kang Wenwen also nodded in agreement.

"That's no problem, I can find the servant's clothes for you." Steward Wang said, patting his chest.

Du Qianlin nodded, "What are you going to do next?"

Steward Wang shook his head, "It's all right."

"Oh, I just have to go back and return the life of the rich man."

Du Qianlin touched his chin, "I plan to go to the bone forest with Wenwen later, are you going?"

Wang Guanshi's face changed greatly when he heard this, "Bone forest, is that a place full of dead people's bones?"

"I won't go, I won't go." Steward Wang shook his head like a rattle.

"Are you... afraid of death?" Kang Wenwen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

"Ah..." Steward Wang glanced at Kang Wenwen, but did not answer.

Du Qianlin watched him stiffen his neck and said with a big laugh, "He's not afraid of light bulbs, but he doesn't want to see dead people."

"He threw up the first time he saw that Qiang Kangle."

"I didn't!" Guanshi Wang, also known as Zhang Dengjin, threw himself at Du Qianlin and covered his mouth to keep him from speaking.

Kang Wenwen was also a little funny when he heard it, "You are afraid of death, why do you want to enter this kind of game? A game where people often die?"

Zhang Dengjin pouted, muttering, "I'm happy."

Du Qianlin secretly made a face at Kang Wenwen, then turned to Zhang Dengjin and said, "You go back first, Wen Wen and I will go to the bone forest and come back before dark..."

Before he finished speaking, Du Qianlin realized something was wrong.

"Why did the rich man Zhang make an appointment at night? What did you say about Gao Xianren earlier? Is he a ghost hunter?" Du Qianlin asked.

Zhang Dengjin pursed his lips and said nothing, with an expression of begging me.

"Wenwen, take out the hemp rope and tie this guy up, I'm going to throw him into the bone forest." Du Qianlin said.

Kang Wenwen moved immediately, took out the hemp rope and walked towards Zhang Deng.

"Hey! Don't, don't be like this. You have something to say." Zhang Dengjin immediately faltered.

Seeing Kang Wenwen stop his movements, Zhang Dengjin felt aggrieved and muttered, "You don't even know Gao Xianren."

"Huh?——" Du Qianlin's eyes were slightly curved, and his glasses-free eyes looked more and more like a charming fox when he smiled like this.

It's just that this fox looks vicious and is not easy to mess with.

Zhang Dengjin paused immediately, "I don't know the name of this high immortal. It's just that he is an expert invited by the county magistrate last week, and he can catch ghosts."

"Looking at the appearance of the bustard in Zuixianlou, everyone in the city must know about it?" Du Qianlin asked with a frown.

Zhang Dengjin nodded, "Yes."

"Then this expert was invited last week, so why didn't he stop when the last person disappeared last week?" Kang Wenwen was puzzled by this.

Zhang Dengjin didn't know either, "I heard that he didn't seem to be in the city that day, but I don't know where he went."

Kang Wenwen raised his eyes and looked at Du Qianlin, whether there is any problem here has to be verified.

"Anyway, I'm going to meet this 'Gao Xianren' tonight, so I'm not in a hurry. Let's go to the place where the body was found first." Du Qianlin asked Kang Wenwen.

"Well,...are you really not going with us?" Kang Wenwen looked at Zhang Dengjin and really didn't know how to address him, so he said 'you' after a moment of hesitation.

Calling him by his first name feels that the relationship between the two is not so familiar, and he can't even call Du Qianlin "light bulb" after Du Qianlin.

Although he used to call him 'Brother Zhang' when he didn't know it in the game, Kang Wenwen was sober, and he really didn't have the habit of calling him Brother, and Du Qianlin also said that Zhang Dengjin should not be allowed to take advantage of this.

Zhang Dengjin didn't notice Kang Wenwen's awkwardness, and quickly waved his hands, "I won't go, I won't go."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Zhang Dengjin (with a broken face): Did you all forget me if I didn't come out?

Kang Wenwen (guilty): No.

Du Qianlin: Knowing that you still come out and disturb our world of two, big light bulb.
