Chapter 166 The five hundred taels of silver are back
Chapter 166: The five hundred taels of silver are back again (Additional Chapter 3)
It wasn't until dark that Chai Yan finally finished telling the finale of "The Swordsman".
When Chai Yan said the three words "The book is finished", he felt relieved. He drank a cup of tea and let out a happy "Ah" sound.
But Gu Ling, Jimo Qiao and Doudou are still immersed in the martial arts world of "Swordsman".
"What bullshit gentleman's sword! Yue Buqun, a hypocrite, did not hesitate to persecute his apprentice, wife, and daughter just for a book of swordsmanship to ward off evil spirits. It's hateful, so hateful!"
Jimo Qiao's lungs were about to burst with anger. What she hated most was sanctimonious and hypocritical people! And it just so happened that all the insidious and vicious behaviors of the character Yue Buqun hit that nerve.
"Xiao Qiao, a character in a book makes you so angry. Do you know that there are many people in this world who are actually better than Yue Buqun!"
After all, Gu Ling is Gu Zhengbang's daughter, and she still knows more about the ugly side of human nature in the world than she does.
After listening to Gu Ling's words, Chai Yan also nodded in agreement. It is true that in reality, there are many people who are more vicious and cunning than Yue Buqun. It's just that we can't observe them from a God's perspective.
"Oh, I just don't understand why junior sister chose that Lin Pingzhi. How is Linghu Chong inferior to him..."
Regarding the ending of the story, Gu Ling was most saddened by her junior sister Yue Lingshan. She finally felt that her senior brother Linghu Chong should be chosen as her lifelong partner instead of Lin Pingzhi who was willing to commit suicide in the palace for revenge.
Jimo Qiao blurted out angrily: "Like mother, like daughter! Yue Lingshan is just like her mother. She doesn't know how to choose men at all. Both mother and daughter choose the same kind of people!"
Chai Yan was ashamed and thought that this young lady from Jimo had a really unique perspective on the problem.
While Gu Ling and Jimo Qiao were still discussing the plot and details inside, Chai Yan had quietly left the government office and was on his way back to the inn.
As they walked, Shangguan Peining suddenly asked: "Chai Yan, if you got the "Sunflower Book", what would you choose?"
"How do I choose? Hahaha..." Chai Yan laughed and replied: "Anyway, it is not impossible for me to practice! I will never be able to learn this kind of thing in my life with a knife, who can Whoever wants to practice can practice!"
Shangguan Peining asked again: "If you don't practice, what will you do with this secret book?"
Chai Yan didn't even think about it and blurted out: "That's not easy! Put it up for public auction and the one with the highest price will get it!"
"Ha! Auction..." Shangguan Peining said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "You can imagine it! But yes, handling it this way is really your style!"
Chai Yan asked: "Why, are you addicted to it too?"
How could Shangguan Peining admit it? She just said lightly: "I am tired of meditating. I happened to hear you talking about the section of "Sunflower Collection" just now. I just asked casually..."
Chai Yan smiled and said nothing more.
Back at Xinglong Inn, Yuan Yuan was practicing his sword in the room. When he heard Chai Yan knocking on the door, he stopped. As he walked to open the door, he said: Thank you for knowing to come back!
As soon as Chai Yan saw Yu Yuan, he began to apologize again and again, saying with all kinds of guilt that he shouldn't have left her alone, and he left her for the whole day...
To be honest, Yuanyuan was a little angry, but seeing that Chai Yan had a good attitude of admitting his mistake when he came back, he didn't blame him any more.
Yuan put the black iron sword into its scabbard and suddenly said: "I'm hungry!"
When Chai Yan heard that Yuan hadn't had dinner yet, he immediately trotted downstairs. Soon after, the waiter brought up several delicacies.
The two of them discussed the time to go to the capital while eating. Yuanyuan meant that the sooner the better, so they decided to leave Huzhou City early tomorrow morning.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, the two of them packed up their things, checked out and left Xinglong Inn.
Before leaving the city, Chai Yan and Yu Yuan went to the Yu Mansion again. Chai Yan had not yet responded to Yu Zhongheng's request for Chai Yan to investigate the Ouyang family case. Since the murderer was no longer in Huzhou, he had to say something before leaving. After all,
You are entrusted by someone.
"Master, Mr. Chai and Miss Yuyuan are here..."
In Yu Mansion, Cui Er came to the study to inform Yu Zhongheng.
Yu Zhongheng was very happy when he heard about it. He immediately put down his brush and came out to meet the two of them in the main hall.
But when he saw the two of them carrying their luggage and preparing for a long journey, they became confused: "What are you two..."
Chai Yan cupped his hands and said, "Master Yu, we are here to say goodbye..."
"Farewell?" Yu Zhongheng said hurriedly: "Mr. Chai, now that you are gone, what about tracking down the murderer?"
Chai Yan then told him that he had seen the bodies of five members of the Ouyang family in Yizhuang yesterday, and told him that he could no longer determine the location of the murderer, as the murderer was no longer in Huzhou City.
Yu Zhongheng was very disappointed. He kept asking Chai Yan to think of another solution, but Chai Yan said that the matter was beyond his capabilities.
After coming out of Yu Mansion, Chai Yan and Yuan walked to the north gate. Huaidu was in the north of Huzhou. If they hired a carriage to travel, it would take about three or four days to get there.
There are many carriages in the open space outside the North City Gate. It is not difficult to find a carriage to Huaidu.
Chai Yan went around asking and bargaining for prices, but Yuan Yuan didn't ask any questions and just followed him quietly with a black iron sword on his back.
Just as Chai Yan negotiated the price with a handlebar driver and the two were about to board the car and set off, Shangguan Peining's voice rang in Chai Yan's mind again.
"Wait a minute, Chai Yan, that man has appeared!"
"That person? Who are you talking about?" Chai Yan had just thrown the baggage into the carriage.
Shangguan Peining said seriously: "Who else could it be? The murderer who killed Ouyang's family!"
"Ah?" Chai Yan was startled and shouted unconsciously.
This startled Handlebar Shi. Seeing his strange expression, Yuyuan asked, "What's wrong?"
Chai Yan did not answer Yuan. At this time, he was communicating with Shangguan Peining.
"Aren't you the murderer who is no longer in Huzhou?" Chai Yan asked.
Shangguan Peining explained: "I am saying that the murderer has left my perception range, but now, the murderer is back!"
"Are you sure?" Chai Yan asked again.
Shangguan Peining asked in return: "A person smells like the blood of five members of the Ouyang family. Are you sure you're not sure?"
"Uh..." Chai Yan was shocked, turned around and shouted to the handlebar: "Old man, something happened to us suddenly, we won't leave for the time being!"
After that, Chai Yan took his luggage back from the car, then grabbed Yuan's wrist and headed into the city, leaving only the old man standing in a daze on the spot.
"What happened?" Yuan asked in surprise.
Chai Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at Yuyuan with a pleased expression: "You would never have imagined that those five hundred taels of silver are back again!"
