"Why should you be afraid? Mei Niang, you have not done anything wrong, so why should you be afraid?"
Shangguan Shenhao stood in front of the window railing and looked into the distance with his hands behind his back.
Wu Meiniang's "Zhan Wen Pavilion" stands next to the river and has a nice view.
Wu Meiniang gave a wry smile: "Today, the Shangguan family's fifteen hundred soldiers and the Tianping Army's three thousand troops near the contract came to the ancient market. The internal and external investigations were blocked, like a tight net. Who doesn't know the thunderous wrath of the Shangguan family master? May I ask Meiniang?
How can you not be afraid?"
Wu Meiniang then looked solemn and said in a cautious voice: "If the Shangguan family asks who the murderer of Shangguan Longjian is, Meiniang really doesn't know! This fifth-grade master seems to have emerged from a crack in the stone.
The one who came was not within Mei Niang’s ears and eyes. What’s more,——
The Nishenqi turmoil has not subsided, and there are at least ten unknown masters lurking in Xiushui County. Mei Niang can only get a glimpse of the whereabouts of some of them through some clues. However, there are still some people who are good at hiding their traces.
.”
She did not mention that she had been entrusted by someone to pay attention to Shangguan Longjian's whereabouts.
Wu Meiniang would never dare to reveal even a word.
If Shangguan Longjian's death was exactly what Chu Xisheng did, wouldn't she, Wu Meiniang, be an accomplice?
If not, you are asking for trouble.
I was really tricked by that guy this time——
"It makes sense!" Shangguan Shenhao nodded slightly. He believed that Wu Meiniang's words were sincere.
"What I want to know now is the situation of all the fourth and fifth grade masters in the county, especially their whereabouts, whereabouts, and location at the time of the incident. The more detailed the better."
"Wait a minute!"
Wu Meiniang thought for a moment and walked into the inner room.
She rummaged through the bookshelves inside for a moment, then took out a few stacks of documents and sent them to Shangguan Shenhao.
"Everything the head of the Shangguan family wants to know is here."
Shangguan Shenhao browsed through it for a while, and his eyes showed satisfaction: "Yes, Mei Niang, your news channel is indeed better than mine. I didn't know that Beitianmen and Supreme Xuanzong also have fourth-level masters entering our county. Thank you very much."
He took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and threw them on the table next to him.
And just when Shangguan Shenhao was about to leave, Chu Xuangjie suddenly asked: "I heard that you are the most well-informed know-it-all in Xiushui County? You should know about the death of my brother Chu Zhengyang, Mei Niang, if you have
What clues are there? I’m willing to spend a lot of money to buy them. There are also the remaining members of Prince Ru, do you know their whereabouts?”
Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "Chu Zhengyang belongs to a thousand households in Linhai County. I don't pay much attention to the affairs in the other county, so I don't know what happened. However, there is speculation that Chu Zhengyang's death may be related to the Situ Li case. Then
The tragedy in the ninth-level secret realm is unusual and cannot be done by him alone. As for the remaining members of the violent prince——"
She frowned: "Mr. Chu, you can go investigate on your own. The matter involves 'Swords Like a Dream'. Mei Niang still wants to live a little longer and doesn't dare to reveal a word."
Chu Xuangjie nodded slightly when he heard this, and followed Shangguan Shenhao out of the 'War Pattern Pavilion'.
Although Wu Meiniang did not reveal a word, this woman's attitude actually hinted that there were indeed activities by the ruthless prince's clique in Linhai and Xiushui counties.
Unlike Jinyiwei and Liumen, they always found nothing——
Those few words before also gave Chu Zhengyang new ideas.
Just after going downstairs, Chu Xuangjie looked back thoughtfully: "This woman is interesting, who is she? How can a mere war pattern master have such a broad and well-connected network and connect with eight people in Dongzhou?"
county?"
Shangguan Shenhao walked down the stairs calmly, then pointed at a small mark on the door: "It belongs to this house."
Chu Xuangjie paid close attention and found that it was a small word "machine".
This word is not only tiny, but also very blurry, almost undetectable if you don't pay attention.
Chu Xuangjie laughed dumbly: "It turns out to be Tianji Pavilion, a subordinate of Taoist Tianji."
The Tianji Pavilion not only operates the "Tianji Martial Arts", but also uses all kinds of information in this world to do business worth tens of millions of taels of magic silver.
※※※※
The Hu Kan brothers worked swiftly and contacted Dong Linshan from Lunwu Building for Chu Xisheng that morning.
The two parties made an appointment to meet at the ancient market the next night, and the location was set to be the restaurant ‘Zhiweiju’ by the river.
However, Brother Hu Kan has to leave Xiushui by boat tomorrow morning, so he will definitely not be able to attend the banquet. Chu Xisheng will have to go by himself.
At this time, the storm of Shangguan Longjian's death had spread to the county.
The whole city of Xiushui County was filled with rumblings and tense situations.
When Chu Xisheng went to Fuman Xiang Baozi Shop to buy raccoon meat steamed dumplings, she saw a large number of Shangguan family soldiers walking on the street. They were all fully armed and scanning the pedestrians on the street with cold eyes.
Chu Xisheng didn't take it seriously. The Shangguan family's behavior was not because they thought that martial law in the county would detect anything. They just wanted to remind the whole county in this way that the power and prestige of the Shangguan family would not allow for minor offenses!
People were indeed as silent as a cicada. When they walked on the street, they didn't look away and didn't dare to speak. But when they left the street, they were still talking and talking, even gloating about others' misfortune.
Chu Xisheng ate the sour raccoon meat steamed dumplings and walked back to the martial arts studio with a satisfied look.
The secret code for buying four cages of raccoon meat steamed dumplings at Fuman Xiang Baozi Shop means receiving your salary.
Cao Xuan actually paid him. The two people's salary plus subsidy totaled 450 taels, which he could receive every month from now on.
Although this is not as profitable as a life-and-death contest, it is better than a long stream of water.
What's more, since he killed Tao Yuan with one sword, Zuo Yanei has not found a suitable opponent for him for more than a month, and no one dares to fight him.
Chu Xisheng felt a little regretful now. She really should have pretended to deal with it for a few rounds on stage.
As for Jin Yiwei's salary, as long as Cao Xuan doesn't mind that the brothers and sisters only eat and do nothing, Chu Xisheng can continue to receive it.
It’s hard to describe the taste of these raccoon meat steamed dumplings. It’s a bit sour to eat, so it’s a pity to throw it away.
At this time, the atmosphere inside the martial arts hall was also a bit heavy.
Many martial arts disciples on the road were also whispering to each other and discussing this matter.
Shangguan Longjian is not only the legitimate son of the Shangguan family, but also a student of the martial arts school, ranking highly among the three-leaf inner sect.
This man's death had a great impact on the martial arts disciples.
Chu Xisheng's mentality was as usual, everything was as usual, and he continued to do whatever he should do.
Until the evening of the next day, Chu Xisheng first went to look in front of Chu Yunyun's room and found that Chu Yunyun was still sitting cross-legged inside, concentrating on condensing the true talisman.
Chu Xisheng looked carefully and found that the five runes were already condensing into one.
He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, knowing that Chu Yunyun was about to break through, probably within a day or two.
Chu Xisheng went out directly without interrupting and headed to the east dock of the city.
More than a month ago, when he had just finished the life-and-death battle, Chu Xisheng would not have dared to go to the ancient market alone.
Walking on the streets of the ancient market, he would definitely be torn apart by the angry gamblers.
However, more than a month later, the impact of this life-and-death battle has faded. And now, there are still a large number of soldiers from the Tianping Army stationed in the ancient market, and those usually domineering and arrogant people in the world will restrain themselves a lot.
But just when Chu Xisheng walked out of the martial arts hall, Lu Luanli followed him.
