Of course Li Tian didn't know this. He thought the little beggar had already taken the money and went away.
He bought a popsicle on the roadside and ate it while walking towards the Marquis Mansion according to the direction in his memory.
He remembered that there seemed to be a restaurant near the Marquis Mansion. There were many people coming and going there every day, and the restaurant also provided accommodation, which made it convenient for him to move around.
Once you have a goal, you will naturally act quickly.
Soon, he had arrived at the door of the restaurant.
The restaurant is very tall, with seven floors. The building is red and black, giving it a rather wealthy atmosphere.
"Wangchuan Tower"
This is the name of the restaurant.
According to folklore, after death, people will go to a river called Wangchuan. As long as they drink the water in the Wangchuan River, they can forget all the troubles in the past and present lives.
The name of Wangchuan Tower also comes from this, which means that people who come here can forget their worries.
The most famous thing in Wangchuan Tower is its wine, which is not expensive and is deeply loved by the people of Ping'an Town. Many people often don't eat in Wangchuan Tower, but come here to buy a bottle of wine.
In the entire Lingyun City, the Wangchuan wine in Wangchuan Tower is also famous, and many people who love wine will not come thousands of miles away just to taste the Wangchuan wine.
Of course, Li Tian doesn't drink, and he doesn't know all this.
He had already arrived at the counter of the restaurant.
The black marble counter is mixed with white lines, and behind the counter is a woman wearing a black work uniform. She must be the salesperson of Wangchuan Building.
It was still afternoon at this time, so there was no business in the restaurant. Occasionally, people came, mostly for accommodation like Li Tian.
"stay."
Li Tian leaned his hand on the counter and said to the dazed salesperson at the counter.
"oh."
When the salesperson heard the sound, he immediately came back to his senses and looked at Li Tian.
"As for accommodation, we have three types of suites in Wangchuan Building. Standard rooms and double rooms are priced at three silver coins per day, and there are also deluxe suites at eight silver coins per day. Which one do you want, sir?"
"No need to ask! Of course I want the best."
Li Tian said as he took out a gold coin and slapped it on the counter.
"Let's open it for three days first, and then deliver some food to my room every day at meal time. If no one answers the door, leave it at the door. The money should be enough, and I'll give you the extra."
Li Tian had his own concerns about opening a room for three days. He wanted to be well prepared. After all, the difference in strength between him and the chief manager was too great. Although he could use the compass to make a sneak attack, he still wanted to be foolproof. After all, he failed.
There is a danger of death at any time.
"Okay sir, I will handle it for you now, please wait a moment."
Looking at the golden coins on the counter, the salesperson knew that he had met the gold owner.
If she had spent less in these three days, the money left over might be enough to cover her monthly salary.
When Li Tian saw the salesperson who was about to handle the operation for him, he immediately stopped.
"Wait, by the way, do you have a higher room? It's best if you can see the Hou Mansion."
"Have you seen the Hou Mansion? Okay, do you have any other requests?"
"No, that's all."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The salesperson quickly applied for the room card for Li Tian and handed it to him.
"This is your room key. The room is on the seventh floor."
"Thanks."
Looking at the white card handed to him, Li Tian took it in his hand.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that his kitchen knife seemed to have been broken the last time he chopped wood.
"By the way, can you give me a kitchen knife? Just treat it like I bought it and deduct it from the money. It should be the kind you usually use for cutting vegetables. The sharper the better, thank you."
To deal with the General Manager, he also needs to prepare a suitable weapon. The kitchen knife is the first choice. It is easy to hold and small. When the General Manager is not prepared, he can kill him with one knife!
"Um...Okay, I'll ask the chef later and I'll serve it to you."
The salesperson looked confused for a moment. She didn't understand why Li Tian wanted the kitchen knife, but when she thought about the money, she didn't refuse Li Tian's request and agreed.
Seeing this, Li Tian said nothing more and turned around to leave.
After Li Tian left, the salesperson also left the counter. She put away the gold coins left by Li Tian and hurried to the kitchen.
As long as there is no business, it is the chef's time to rest. At this moment, the cooks in the back kitchen are sitting around playing cards.
"Old Zhou, Old Zhou, do you have many kitchen knives? There are customers who want them."
The salesperson seemed to be very familiar with the chef. He walked into the kitchen and started asking questions. His eyes unconsciously glanced at the stove to find the target.
"Why do guests want a kitchen knife? To chop people?"
The cook named Lao Zhou must be the chef of Wangchuan House, and no one else spoke to him when he spoke.
"How is that possible? I probably want to cut some fruit or something. Are there any? The customers are waiting. If they are not available, I will go out and buy some."
The salesperson urged me a little hastily.
"Hey, what kind of guest is this that makes you so interested? Is he a handsome guy?"
When the chef saw this, he started joking with the salesperson, which was fine not to mention it, but once he mentioned it, the other chefs started to boo.
One of them even threw away the toothpick in his mouth, stood up and said with a smile, "Is anyone out there? I'm going to see what it looks like, if you dare to pick up a flower from our Forgotten River!"
The salesperson quickly stopped me with an angry look on his face.
"What a mess! The customer gave you the money, so it's not for nothing."
"It turns out I gave you money. No wonder you, little girl, are so active. How much did you give? Is it my share? There are plenty of knives in the kitchen. Look..."
The chef also understood what she meant. When doing things with money, you should always be more diligent in order to avoid being criticized.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his index finger and thumb twice, and the meaning was obvious.
Seeing his actions, the salesperson couldn't help but roll his eyes, but fortunately Li Tian gave him a lot, so it was okay to go out at different times.
"Okay, I'll give you some. How much do you want?"
But she was afraid that the chef would suddenly ask her for a few silver coins, so she might as well go out and buy it herself.
"Hahaha, I'm kidding you, can I really ask you for money? The knife is on the kitchen counter, take it yourself. The boss bought it anyway, so take it as you like."
Seeing the salesperson's hesitation, the chef couldn't help but smile and shake his head. He could earn three or four gold coins a month as a chef at Wangchuan Building, so how could he really ask for her tip?
"Then you keep playing, I'll just pick one and leave."
The salesperson wasn't polite, she didn't need to give it out, it was all hers of course, it was too late for her to be happy.
"go Go."
The chef waved his hand and then asked others to continue the unfinished card game.
Li Tian came to the door, took the key in his hand and opened the heavy red wooden door in front of him.
The first thing you see is a big red carpet covering the entire room. Not only the floor, 80% of the structure of the entire room is red, including sofas, cabinets, curtains...
"So festive? Those who didn't know thought I was getting married..."
Li Tian was a little speechless because he didn't really like such bright colors and it looked a bit dazzling.
The room is very big. The living room, bedroom, and bathroom are all separate rooms. Based on the area, they may be comparable to the size of the house and yard in his village.
From the looks of it, eight silver coins a night doesn't seem expensive.
He closed the door and went straight to the window. The seventh floor was already the tallest building in the neighborhood. It was surrounded by residential buildings on the second and third floors, or some small shops. Standing in front of the window, it felt like you could see the mountains at a glance.
.
Wangchuan Tower was indeed not far from the Hou Mansion, but it was not very close either. He could indeed see the Hou Mansion clearly, but the figures could only be vaguely identified.
He watched for a while and was about to turn around and leave when someone walked out of the Marquis' Mansion and caught his eye.
Li Tian's eyes narrowed and he stared at this person.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he knew that this person was the chief manager.
The actions and actions of the Chief Manager are still deeply imprinted in Li Tian's mind and will never be forgotten.
The general manager left the Marquis Mansion in a hurry and headed towards his own mansion, not knowing that someone was watching him secretly.
He also didn't expect that in just one day, Li Tian would return to Ping'an Town again and be so close to him.
No, he thought Li Tian would never dare to step into Ping'an Town again.
Li Tian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, watching the figure gradually disappearing in front of his eyes.
"Bitch, let you live a little longer!"
He punched the glass in front of him, making a banging sound and causing the entire glass to shake.
He didn't dare to be careless about revenge, not only because he was afraid that he would be in danger if he failed, but also because he was afraid that if he failed, no one would be able to avenge Gou Wencai.
The two brothers went to see the King of Hell together, but the murderer was at large. He didn't want this to happen.
Having already experienced life and death once, he seemed extra calm at the moment. He would no longer be influenced by his emotions, and he also knew better what he should and shouldn't do.
Withdrawing his gaze, Li Tian turned around and sat on the sofa behind him.
Gou Wencai is dead, so the general manager at this moment should have naturally become the master of the Hou Mansion. In the next period of time, he is likely to go back and forth to the Hou Mansion frequently.
And if nothing happens, Hou Qingbai and Qing Miaoer will leave Ping'an Town soon.
Although the target this time was only the general manager, he also did not want to let go of Hou Qingbai. In his eyes, Hou Qingbai was not as simple as he seemed.
The mission of the academy will not be targeted without reason. There is a high probability that the one who will pull the strings in the end is the Master Hou who sees humans and animals as harmless.
Although he behaves kindly and is a well-known Hou Dashan, Li Tian just doesn't believe it. From the pursuit of the chief manager last night, it can be seen that he is not what he seems, especially the far-reaching eyes.
, it is still vivid in his mind now.
Not only that, but also...
Thinking of this, Li Tian took out the compass and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
Then he took out two things from the compass space.
Qing Miao'er's bracelet and Hou Qingbai's small sword.
He found the small sword from Gou Wencai's body and kept it on his chest until he was buried.
Hou Qingbai lied when he gave him the small sword. If the small sword really had a defensive function, then Gou Wencai would not have died at the hands of the chief steward.
Until Gou Wencai's death, neither of them even doubted Hou Qingbai's words.
Li Tian still doesn't understand the meaning of Hou Qing's panic.
It’s really easy to hide from a villain, but hard to guard against a hypocrite.
Li Tian rubbed his eyes helplessly. The more this happened, the more he felt that his brain was not full.
In fact, it is not that difficult to deal with Hou Qingbai. As long as the bodies of the missing people can be found and there is enough evidence to prove that they are related to Hou Qingbai, how can they be so vigilant now?
.
When he acted, he had to guard against Hou Qingbai. Dealing with a general manager was a very dangerous matter. With Hou Qingbai in the mix, he had no hope.
