Zuo Feng deliberately pretended to have just woken up, shook his head and barely supported his body, and slowly sat up.
After rubbing his eyes, he suddenly "discovered" that the big shopkeeper was beside him. Zuo Feng immediately turned over to greet him, and then looked around again as if to identify where he was.
When he saw Shusuo standing not far away, Zuo Feng immediately said angrily: "Please ask the shopkeeper to make the decision for me. Brother, Shusuo poisoned me, and I was poisoned by him."
Although Zuo Feng's performance of all this was a little artificial, it was quite normal if you think about it carefully. It was exactly how someone who had been wronged should behave.
"Lao San, I still use this title now because the big shopkeeper is merciful and gives you a chance to confess. If you still want to help yourself, I advise you to tell the truth. The big shopkeeper will naturally keep your
Your life."
Shu Suo raised his head and looked at Zuo Feng, his eyes slightly narrowed, with an expression that showed Zuo Feng was convinced.
On the surface, Zuo Feng seemed unaware of the situation, but he never lost consciousness. Not only did he hear all the previous conversations, but he also kept thinking about solutions and ways to gain trust.
Since infiltrating the magic family, I have gone through several trials. No matter whether it was the Shusuo in front of me, that Shukun, or the big shopkeeper and Yanzhi, none of these people really believed in me.
Amber, who also mixed into the enemy, has been lurking smoothly until now. Except for the initial test, he has not seen himself in any trouble at the moment.
Of course, Zuo Feng also knew that he had never gained trust, mainly because his performance was a bit special. Whether it was his training progress and talent, or his attainments in rune formations, he was much better than his peers.
Although this is still the result of Zuo Feng’s cover-up.
Perhaps in another situation, Zuo Feng could honestly say that "if you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person", but the current situation is that "if you are envied by others, you will have many wrongdoings."
Shusuo and Shukun have never been able to truly accept themselves, mainly because of the word "jealousy". They worry that one day they will be able to climb above them, thus affecting their future development in the family.
The big shopkeeper is different from Yan Zhi. The main reason is that Zuo Feng is full of doubts in his heart. After all, even if someone with the Mu family is selfish and domineering, it is impossible to let such a good talent go without reusing and cultivating it.
.
Zuo Feng knew this in his heart, but firstly he never found a suitable opportunity to clear himself from suspicion. Secondly, he hoped to keep a low profile for the time being, which would at least reduce some people's attention to him.
But now it seems that it is difficult to keep a low profile. Although the crisis is approaching, at the same time, a great opportunity to remove suspicion is right in front of him. Zuo Feng knows that he must take advantage of it this time.
With a plan in mind, Zuo Feng looked at the big shopkeeper and asked: "I don't know what the big shopkeeper wants to know, and what he wants me to say. I proposed this action, but I am willing to risk getting drunk.
The Xianglou is for the artists, not the Mu family, please believe this, the big shopkeeper."
"Humph, I believe you!" Shusuo snorted disdainfully and said with a sneer.
But as soon as Shu Suo opened his mouth, he saw the big shopkeeper looking at him coldly, and he quickly swallowed what he said.
Zuo Feng didn't seem to notice the eye contact between the big shopkeeper and Shusuo, and said to himself: "Big shopkeeper, please believe me, I can tell the difference between my heart and the heart of a magician. The big shopkeeper is as kind as a mountain to me, and he has given me
The name Shu Tianle is equivalent to giving me a life. I can only repay you with my life, so how can I have two intentions?"
Zuo Feng's words were sonorous and powerful, which also showed the calmness in his heart. Shusuo curled his lips secretly, but this time he did not dare to say anything casually.
There was no change on the face of the big shopkeeper, but he said calmly: "Shusuo said you had a problem just now, but something changed when you stepped into the middle of the corridor. Tell me why you want to touch the formation."
As soon as the question was uttered, Shusuo didn't express anything, but he secretly said "Okay" in his heart. Of course, the big shopkeeper meant to guide him by asking this question. If Zuo Feng answered a little question, more flaws would be exposed later.
.
Maybe someone else would have panicked at this time, but Zuo Feng already knew it. The big shopkeeper didn't believe it at all when he talked to Shusuo before, and now he was just testing himself with deception.
Understanding this, Zuo Feng raised his head and chest calmly, and said: "The one walking in front was the elder brother Shusuo, and the one walking behind was the fourth one. I was walking in the middle of them, no matter what I did, it would never happen.
It's impossible to avoid these two.
And I didn’t know about that formation at all in advance, because when Shusuo introduced the situation of Zuixiang Tower, he didn’t even mention that there was an formation on the corridor.”
Slowly turning his head to look at Shusuo, seeing that he pursed his lips and nodded, the big shopkeeper's expression softened slightly. Zuo Feng knew that the big shopkeeper's expression changed not because of Shusuo, but because of himself.
.
When he looked at Zuo Feng again, he still had that ancient and smooth face, but Zuo Feng could vaguely feel a change in his eyes, which was his expectation for himself, the hope that there would be no problem with him.
.
I secretly shouted "Okay", knowing that the big shopkeeper has now begun to trust me. Although I only have a little idea, it is definitely a good start for me. Perhaps the other party values my talent in formations and runes.
But having a favorable impression is naturally better than not having a favorable impression.
With a slight "cough", the shopkeeper continued to ask: "The magic rope led the opponent's strongest person away, why did you deliberately separate from the magic staff to escape?"
Without hesitation, Zuo Feng immediately said: "I don't know if the technician has made it clear. When we were escaping, we encountered someone intercepting us. There were people blocking us in front of us and chasing us. The situation was very bad. In order to create an opportunity, I let
The technician escaped smoothly and faced most of the warriors on the opposite side."
These words were not mentioned when Shusuo was introduced. When the big shopkeeper heard what Zuo Feng said, he immediately looked at the technician coldly. Scanned by the big shopkeeper's burning gaze, the technician hurriedly replied: "He
, He, he was right, it was indeed the case at that time, most of the strong men were stopped by him alone, and I had a chance to escape. "
With a cold "hum", the big shopkeeper glared at Shusuo fiercely, his dissatisfaction with him was already obvious. Seeing this, Shusuo knew that he could never remain silent any longer, otherwise the "third brother" would not be able to do anything for a while.
It was a problem, but I made the big shopkeeper disgusted.
Thinking of this, Shu Suo hurriedly said: "The big shopkeeper didn't know something. It was just doubtful that he separated and escaped at the time. But later he chose to go in the direction of Zuixiang Tower. This may have made him suspect that he was not clean.
"
"Um?"
The big shopkeeper turned to Zuo Feng in confusion. Although he had already believed what Zuo Feng said before, his face suddenly turned cold and he said firmly: "What do you have to say."
Shusuo's words really surprised Zuo Feng, because he didn't expect that the other party actually noticed the direction in which he was escaping, and judged that it was towards Zuixiang Tower. Logically speaking, no matter which direction he chose to escape, he would be able to escape.
Yes, but choosing the direction of Zuixiang Tower is most questionable.
Facing the aggressive gaze of the big shopkeeper, Zuo Feng's heart beat wildly, but he was not frightened and didn't know what to do, but he was happy because the opportunity came so quickly and so naturally.
Thinking of this, Zuo Feng didn't delay any longer and immediately clasped his fists and said: "At that time, I noticed that so many people came out to arrest the three of us. I guessed that the Zuixiang Tower must be empty, so I chose to take the risk and sneak in to find out what was inside the Zuixiang Tower.
situation inside.”
Hearing what Zuo Feng said, not only Shusuo and his staff were very surprised, but even the chief shopkeeper, who had always been calm and unfailingly calm, looked slightly gloomy.
"You're talking nonsense. You said you lurked in Zuixiang Tower. What proof do you have that you've been there? How do you prove you got the information? Don't tell me that you were in Zuixiang Tower for more than an hour!"
Shu Suo obviously didn't believe it, and he was also the first to ask. However, this time the big shopkeeper didn't stop him, he just looked at Zuo Feng coldly, obviously having the same idea as Shu Suo.
Clearly knowing that this was the best opportunity, Zuo Feng did not hesitate at all, took a deep breath and said loudly: "Zuixiang House is divided into three houses, brothel house, gambling house and restaurant. The warriors headed by Captain Lin
There are about four hundred people. Although they exceed us in number, they are far inferior in terms of cultivation. Most of them are in the muscle-tempering and Qi-sensing stages, and there should be no more than twenty people in the Qi-receiving stage."
Narrowing his eyes slightly, the shopkeeper uttered two words "continue" in a deep voice.
Zuo Feng continued without hesitation: "Captain Lin is the leader, followed by two deputy captains, one named Ren Huo and one named Yu Xiao. They mainly gather in brothels, restaurants and gambling houses.
Less, they can prove it."
"Humph, is that all?" Shusuo said disdainfully, because Rouge had actually obtained this information.
Ignoring the technique, Zuo Feng calmly said: "Among the four hundred warriors, there are about forty people who are special. These people seem to be under guard and placed on the top floor of the brothel. These people's freedom is completely restricted."
limit."
Zuo Feng seemed to be introducing the situation seriously, and he had been observing the subtle changes in the big shopkeeper. When he introduced the more than forty people, the big shopkeeper's expression changed obviously.
Then the look he looked at Zuo Feng was very different from before. Only Zuo Feng could feel this change most clearly. Zuo Feng did not stop, but continued to introduce.
"Captain Lin's warriors are now divided into four squads, patrolling the three buildings almost day and night. The alert has reached the highest level, and it will be extremely difficult to sneak in again.
However, I already have a general understanding of their personnel arrangements and the routes patrolled by the guards, and I believe this is provable information."
"Good, good, very good, you satisfy me very much!" The big shopkeeper showed obvious joy on his face and praised without hesitation.
Although Zuo Feng looked dejected after being cleared of his grievances, he was relieved in his heart. He knew that this time there was no loophole in clearing the suspicion, and he could truly be accepted by the big shopkeeper.
