"Thank you very much, Senior Yin, but we have a junior brother who is coming. We have made an appointment to pick him up at the gate of the city at dusk. When he comes, we will go visit Senior and the Lord of the City." Ling Chuxi guessed the name.
The shopkeeper had something to tell him, so he found an excuse to stop it.
"That's fine, then I'll go back to the city lord's palace and wait for you to come." Master Yin didn't force him, and left first after saying that.
When he was far away, the shopkeeper cautiously poked his head out.
"Thank you two for your life-saving grace. I am very grateful." The shopkeeper bowed to Ling Chuxi and the two of them and said gratefully.
He had impulsively wanted to fight with Manager Wang just now, but when he thought about it afterwards, he was also very scared.
"Shopkeeper Lin, you're welcome." Ling Chuxi helped the shopkeeper up and asked, "Old man, is there something you want to tell us?"
"This girl, Master Yin really has an old relationship with the elders of your clan?" The shopkeeper did not rush to answer her question, but asked hesitantly.
"I'm not sure about this. Our Piaomiao Sect is also quite famous. Many people in Tianyu have heard of the names of several elders." Ling Chuxi said this, obviously not believing what Master Yin said.
Although Piaomiao Zongfu is only a third-grade Zongfu now, it used to be a first-grade Zongfu. It is not surprising that the older people know some people from Piaomiao Zongfu, but the younger generation does not know much about it. Master Yin’s words prove that
It's nothing, but it's more likely to test Ling Chuxi.
"You're right to think so." Although the shopkeeper didn't have much cultivation, he had been guarding this tavern all his life and had seen many people from all walks of life. His eyesight was poor and he noticed Ling Chuxi's suspicion, so he continued, "
Over the years, many disciples from the family clans passed through Xingyang City, and were dragged to the city lord's mansion by Master Yin for similar reasons. They have never been seen again. Just a few days ago, there were several Blue Wind Swordsmen.
Zong’s disciples followed Master Yin to the City Lord’s Mansion and never showed up again.”
"Oh?" Ling Chuxi looked at the shopkeeper in confusion. Judging from the previous comments from Manager Wang, Master Yin and others, the strength of the Lord's Palace of Xingyang City is no weaker than that of ordinary ancient aristocratic families, so why do they want to win over other aristocratic families?
As for the disciples, and judging from the implications of the shopkeeper’s words, those people may have encountered something unexpected.
"If there is, I shouldn't say more, but I see that you two are also chivalrous-hearted. I am already quite old and I don't think I have a few more years to live. My son and his wife met with something unexpected in their early years, and our only grandson is seriously ill.
I don’t know if I can survive it, so I just want to remind you that it can be regarded as forming a good relationship.
This Master Yin is a sinister and vicious man, and his words must not be taken lightly. Those disciples of the Sejong clan who were won over by him in the past may not end well, so you must not be fooled by him.
There is also the Haojia Village you asked about before. I have heard of it. It is at the foot of Lanyun Peak. Sixty years ago, an epidemic broke out in the village. The Hao family members died of the disease one after another. Even they invited the spirit pill back.
Several members of the army died, and later the Hao clan members fled. There should have been no one in the village for a long time.
When this incident first came out, Xingyang City was also in chaos for a while. Later, the city lord issued a hush-hush order, strictly forbidding anyone to mention Haojia Village, otherwise they would be killed without mercy. As time went by, the older generation would die.
That's almost it. Not many people in Xingyang City still know about Haojiacun. Fortunately, you met me. If I mention it in front of outsiders, I'm afraid it will cause disaster." The shopkeeper said leisurely.
