It's just that the other party found me with a warrant. I don't know what it means. Since he is a person from the Piaomiao Pavilion, Bai Yulou can't go too far. Sha Tulai is not in charge of the Piaomiao Pavilion now. He looked at the two people and asked: "What's the matter? "
The tall man put away the warrant and said: "This is not the place to talk. Go to your room."
Bai Yulou hesitated.
The tall man said: "What? Are you still worried that we will cause chaos here?"
Bai Yulou said nothing more, turned around, walked to the door of his room and opened the door. The two people behind him followed him in uninvited.
The thin man who entered last closed the door smoothly, making Bai Yulou frown slightly as he didn't want to close the door.
"What do the people who oversee Piaomiao Pavilion want from me? Which sect are you from?" Bai Yulou asked, without any intention of inviting guests to take a seat.
The tall man opened his cloak, revealing the red hair tied behind his back. He raised his hand and tore off the mask on his face, revealing his true appearance. He said cheerfully: "Shopkeeper Bai, farewell to Tiandu Peak." , we meet again.”
"Hong Gaitian?" Bai Yulou looked at him up and down and sneered, "If you're not at Tianxia Bank, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Hong Gaitian, who replied: "I have no choice but to take responsibility."
"Responsibilities?" Bai Yulou said with an arrogant expression: "Star Reaching City is directly under the Daluo Holy Land. It seems that it is not within the scope of your inspection, right?"
Hong Gaitian: "Don't get me wrong, Shopkeeper Bai, we are just here to verify some situations."
Bai Yulou: "What is the situation to verify? If you want to ask anything, ask as soon as possible. I still have something to do. But I want to remind you that I will say what I can say, and I won't say what I can't. I need to consult the above before I can decide whether to answer you or not. .”
This was using the background of Star Picking City to suppress people. Hong Gaitian smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Bai said this, what else can I say, no problem."
Bai Yulou said, "What's the matter? Just ask."
Hong Gaitian asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Bai, do you remember a man named Xuanyuan Dao?"
Bai Yulou's eyes flashed, he narrowed his eyes, stared at the other person, and then said slowly: "I don't have any impression. Who is the third leader of Nanhai asking about?"
Hong Gaitian: "I was once a guest of Yaoyue Inn, does Shopkeeper Bai really have no memory at all?"
Bai Yulou: "I don't know how many people come and go at Yaoyue Inn every year. There are so many people. How can I remember everyone?"
Hong Gaitian: "Then let me remind you again, under the recommendation of Shopkeeper Bai, this Xuanyuan Dao also painted a portrait of the Lord of Star Reaching City. Do you have any impressions?"
Bai Yulou said: "When you said that, I seem to have an impression. It seems that there is such a person. Is there any problem with the city lord inviting him to paint?"
Both of them clearly knew who the so-called Xuanyuan Dao was, but they both pretended to be confused and neither took the initiative to reveal it.
Hong Gaitian: "It's okay for the city lord to invite you to paint. I just want to confirm whether the Xuanyuan Dao who painted for the city lord was the one you recommended to the city lord?"
Bai Yulou was silent for a moment, recalled the situation at that time, and said slowly: "To a certain extent, but not entirely."
Hong Gaitian: "In other words, you admit that you introduced me to some extent."
Bai Yulou slowly took a deep breath. He didn't know what the other party wanted to do when he asked about this. As far as he knew, this Niu Youdao was a sworn brother. What did it mean to find out that Niu Youdao was in trouble? Still thinking slowly, he said: " That’s right.”
Hong Gaitian: "I just want to confirm one thing now. Did you receive money from that person when you recommended him to paint for the city lord?"
Bai Yulou's heart skipped a beat, no, it wasn't just checking cows, it seemed to be aimed at him.
There is also a problem with the other party's way of asking questions. Logically speaking, even if he accepted some gifts, it wouldn't be a big problem. But if the other party connected him with receiving gifts and recommending painters to the city lord, then the problem would be serious.
In other words, he accepted a gift from an outsider and helped an outsider get close to Sha Huanli. If Sha Tulai knew about this, I'm afraid he wouldn't have enough skin on his body for Sha Tulai to peel off. Even if Sha Tulai didn't come to him for this kind of problem
To settle the score, how can Daluo Holy Land tolerate such people who are easily bribed by outsiders and then target internal disadvantages?
The real situation at that time was that he never thought of asking for any return from the painter, but the painter gave him a thank you afterwards.
However, is the explanation clear? He did introduce the person, and he did receive money from the other person.
"Taking people's money? It's nothing!" Bai Yulou denied it and kicked out the guest: "That's all I can say. I have other things to do, please come back."
Hong Gaitian: "Shopkeeper Bai wants to drive us away, and we can't force it. However, I want to remind Shopkeeper Bai that I have no right to investigate further, so I have to report it to the Holy Lord, and let the Holy Lord intervene to find out."
Bai Yulou sneered: "Can you still control the Holy Lord? You are too lenient. Let me remind you again, what you said does not exist, and Star Reaching City is not within the scope of your supervision." He refused to give in easily.
Hong Gaitian: "No, but I have the right to report it. I don't want to cause trouble, but it seems inappropriate to conceal what I know and not report it. As for whether the Holy Lord will investigate after the report is reported, or whether he will investigate it, then
It’s not my concern. Shopkeeper Bai, have you heard about Long Fanhai, the former deacon of the Demon Fox Department of Piaomiao Pavilion? His body is still hanging in Wentian City for public display!"
This is a threat to himself! Bai Yulou's heart is full of anger. He thinks that when he was in Tiandu Peak and presided over the affairs of Tiandu Secret Realm, these people were meat on his chopping block, like ants, but now they are threatening him.
.
He stared at Hong Gaitian coldly, with a hidden urge to kill and silence him, but he had no idea how the matter was exposed, how wide the exposure was, what the current situation was, and who the person beside Hong Gaitian was.
He didn't know much about people and didn't dare to act rashly.
When this happened suddenly, he was completely unprepared to deal with it and was completely caught off guard.
Hong Gaitian looked at him with a smile. It felt good to be able to control the opponent's weakness and use it as a blackmail, especially since the opponent was the shopkeeper of Yaoyue Inn, a person he did not dare to offend in the past.
The two looked at each other.
After a long time, Bai Yulou said in a cold tone: "Niu Youdao seems to be your sworn brother, right?" He was implying that once the incident happened, Niu Youdao, the briber, would not be able to escape.
Hong Gaitian: "I have my responsibilities. I dare not disappoint the high expectations of the Holy Lord. Even if I become a sworn brother, I have to give in! Shopkeeper Bai, not only this matter, there are other things that I want to verify with you."
Is there anything else? Bai Yulou: "What else is there?"
Hong Gaitian: "Actually, as long as things are explained clearly, it won't be a big deal, but Shopkeeper Bai doesn't seem to have figured out how to answer it yet. I don't want to force Shopkeeper Bai. There are some things I just want to verify. It's best if it's okay. I don't want to
If we stay too long to make things bigger, we will easily attract attention and cause unnecessary trouble to shopkeeper Bai before the matter is clarified. I heard that the city lord of the Ice and Snow Pavilion should attend the wedding of the pavilion master.
Give Shopkeeper Bai some time to think about it, how about we come to find you after the city lord leaves?"
Bai Yulou stared at him without saying a word.
Hong Gaitian: "Shopkeeper Bai just agreed without saying anything. Give it some time, please?"
Encountering this incident was too sudden. Bai Yulou really needed time to think about how to deal with it. He also really didn’t want to be repeatedly visited by these people when some important officials in the city were still there and when the city was most vigilant. Finally, he slowly said
: "The city lord left on the third day of the lunar month."
The implication is that it is up to you to decide when to come after the third grade of junior high school.
Hong Gaitian frowned: "There are rumors outside that the Bingxue Pavilion Master is getting married on the ninth day of the lunar month. Is it too early for the city lord to go on the third day of the lunar month? Shopkeeper Bai, don't want us to bump into the city lord when we come back and attract unnecessary attention. I still
That said, I don’t want to cause trouble, and I will try my best to get over it as soon as I can.”
Bai Yulou said: "The city lord and the ice and snow pavilion master are good friends. Before the ice and snow pavilion master's wedding, the city master rushed to accompany him."
Hong Gaitian understood, so Sha Huanli had to rush there in advance.
After learning the specific date of Sha Huanli's departure, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the thin man who had been watching silently.
"In that case, we'll come back to shopkeeper Bai after the third year of junior high school." Hong Gaitian said and put on the mask again, put the cloak and hat back on his head, turned around and left.
"Stop!" Bai Yulou suddenly shouted.
The two people who left stopped and turned back.
Bai Yulou stared at the thin man and asked coldly: "As far as I know, there are no women participating in the training in Nanhai. Who are you?"
Although the thin man looked like a man, he had a woman's body scent, so he had long noticed that this person was a woman disguised as a man.
Those who are thin and small feel a little uneasy.
Hong Gaitian covered it up with one sentence, "Who is this person? Shopkeeper Bai will let me know when he comes next time." After saying that, he opened the door and walked out, leading the thin man away.
Inside the house, Bai Yulou stood quietly, regretting so much that he should not have collected Niu Youdao's money. If he really wanted to investigate it now, it would be a bit unclear, especially when it comes to Sha Huanli's safety. Sha Tulai will never tolerate suspicion.
People continue to exist by Sha Huanli's side, and they would rather kill the wrong person than let them go!
But he really didn't expect many things. In his opinion, Niu Youdao was just an ant at that time. He could kill him casually, couldn't make waves, and couldn't have the ability to have hands and eyes that could reach the sky. He would just accept a little money. Who could
To think that this matter could actually reach Heaven's ears and operate in front of the Holy Lord today is beyond his ability.
When I first collected the money, I was sure that Niu Youdao would not dare to reveal the matter.
He was still thinking about how this incident broke out. It was obvious that someone was deliberately trying to frame him.
Is it Niu Youdao? Niu Youdao would do no good to himself by exposing this matter. It would be like shooting himself in the foot. He could get away by privately bribing people in Star Reaching City to expose this matter?
Or is it that someone in Star Picking City covets his position as shopkeeper? When he first received Niu Youdao's money, he gave some of it to the people below him.
This is also very possible. I am afraid that reporting him in Star City will not bring him down. After all, he has won the trust of Star City's senior management and will allow him to explain. The purpose of going to the top is to make the matter bigger and make him unable to explain.
