I Am Really Not The Great Demon King - Chapter 423
“My thrush is gone.”
“Maybe the previous tweet was its last voice. It should have wanted to see me for the last time, but unfortunately I didn’t cherish this opportunity. I ignored it.”
The shopkeeper’s tone was deep, and after finishing these words with some difficulty, the whole person slumped on a chair, and his face changed drastically in an instant, as if, in a blink of an eye, he had already contracted a serious illness.
When Huang Gong’s subordinates saw the other party’s performance, he immediately said: “Everyone is born, old, sick, and died, let alone a bird?”
“I also have a yellow-mouthed thrush, how about giving it to the shopkeeper?”
Hearing what Huang Gong said, the shopkeeper’s body limp on the chair, barely stretched out an arm, propped up his upper body, and said in a tired tone: “The gentleman does not take the love of others, your thrush is also your thousand I’ve worked so hard to raise, how can I say just take it?”
“What’s more, I am in a bad mood because my thrush is dead.”
Having said this, the shopkeeper couldn’t help sighing, then turned to look aside Xia Yu and said: “Girl, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you about that woman.”
“In fact, when I went back to the backyard just now, I already had a clue, and many things sounded.”
“However, when something like this happened today, I was really exhausted. I just want to clean up a bit, and I don’t want to say anything else.”
“But wait for me to calm down tonight, and wait for me to calm down tomorrow, and then go to the door personally to answer your doubts?”
Hearing the voice of the shopkeeper, Xia Yu frowned slightly.
This incident just happened at night. At this time, the earlier the news is received, the less chance the woman will notice, and the less chance the woman will be aware of.
Now the shopkeeper had to wait another day for a thrush to tell them the answer. Xia Yu couldn’t help feeling a little unhappy and couldn’t help but said: “Does the shopkeeper feel that we are not sincere enough and the money given is too much? not enough?”
“You, the shopkeeper, make a price, as long as I can afford it, I will definitely give it!”
In order to pay Qingxue and other juniors, Xia Yu can directly fight to the death, let alone something outside of her body.
But when he heard Xia Yu’s words, Huang Gong’s subordinates immediately knew that they were not good, and thought that Xia Yu might be annoying the shopkeeper.
Sure enough, Xia Yu’s words just opened, the shopkeeper couldn’t help but snorted, and then you looked cold, and Xia Yu said coldly, “I always thought that people can understand each other. .”
“It’s like, I understand everyone’s eagerness to look for that woman, so I am very tired today, and did not refuse your inquiries. Fan’er tells you directly and frankly that I have heard something about that woman.”
“On the other hand, everyone, my thrush is dead, and I am very upset now, but you don’t seem to understand my feelings now. Instead, I feel that I am taking the opportunity to raise the price.”
“Although I am a greedy person, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way. I am not a villain who is capricious for money.”
Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, Xia Yu’s face changed slightly. Knowing that what he had just said was serious, he replaced the wine with tea, apologized to the other party, and then said: “Since the shopkeeper’s today is not very convenient, then , We don’t have to bother the shopkeeper to visit the door in person tomorrow. We’ll have to come back in person tomorrow morning.”
“Please forgive me for the trouble, please don’t mind.”
Hearing the rain, the shopkeeper just nodded his head blankly without speaking, and then took the teacup on the table directly to show off the guests.
When Huang Gong met, he couldn’t help but sighed. Seeing Xia Yu still sitting on the seat, he couldn’t help pulling down her sleeves and beckoning him to wait for others to leave first, and wait until tomorrow morning.
Although Xia Yu was generally unwilling in her heart, she also understood Huang Gong’s painstaking efforts.
If he really persists here, I’m afraid that if the shopkeeper gets angry, he won’t even have the opportunity to tell himself tomorrow.
You know, this guy is not someone who has never been so hard.
Back then, as the lord of a small city, someone under the county guard who directly governed him made mistakes, and he personally came to him to ask for permission and ask him to open the door. In the end, he didn’t say yes, and said he had done what the other party did. All kinds of evil deeds were posted everywhere in the city for the people in the city to pass on each other.
If the county guard wants him to open up his net, he can ask the people in the city of Ken. As long as no one in the city does not agree, he will release the county guard’s subordinates without saying anything.
The county guard knew in his heart that the other party was afraid that he would find a relationship and allow his subordinates to escape the guilt, and directly publicized the guilt of the subordinates, so that even if the county guard was pleading, there was nowhere to go.
In the end, the subordinates of the county guard were punishable and killed.
The county guard was angry and went directly to the noble person of the shopkeeper to comment. The noble person of the shopkeeper laughed and asked the shopkeeper to bow his head to apologize to the county guard.
Unexpectedly, facing the county guard, the shopkeeper held his head high and uncompromisingly shouted: “Your subordinates are full of sins. I will expose them to the public. I will punish them according to the law. The people will clap their hands and applaud. , All rejoice, why am I wrong?”
The nobleman just caressed his palm and laughed.
Later, fearing that he would be evil for the county guard, he targeted him everywhere, pressing his neck forcibly, asking him to bow his head and admit his mistake.
As a result, the shopkeeper’s neck was squeezed by him, but he never bends.
When the nobleman saw him, he could not help but withdraw his hand, and said to the county guard on one side: “This man is an elm head, rather than bending it. I think I have cut his head now. It’s easy to confuse him, but I want him to bow his head and admit his mistakes. It’s as difficult as climbing, why don’t you try it?”
The county guard saw that the nobleman was protecting the treasurer everywhere, and he dared to say more, so he didn’t like to say anything anymore.
After that, the shopkeeper was able to treat him equally, and it seemed that he had completely forgotten the murder of his subordinates. Even the nobles cheered when they heard about the county guard, praising the county guard for being generous, open-minded and unruly, and he was the prime minister’s talent.
Only the shopkeeper heard the comment of the nobleman, and was silent for a long time. He sighed, but said nothing. The shadow seemed to be worried about the nobleman’s situation.
Sure enough, when the nobleman died unclearly, the first to jump out and criticize the nobleman was the county guard. At the same time, the treasurer was also grudged by the other party, so he directly asked for an order and wanted to kill him soon!
Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn’t help sighing.
She really couldn’t imagine that the treasurer of the city owner who was once arrogant and arrogant, did not fear power and ruled for the people, what happened later that changed his mood and became the one he is now, who is addicted to money. The little fat man who loves birds into a idiot.
She didn’t ask the shopkeeper because she knew that even if she asked, the other party would not answer her.
Who doesn’t have a few secrets in his heart that are ready to hold on to the grave for a lifetime?
In the end, although Xia Yu was puzzled in her heart, she still left with everyone and returned to Lai Xitang.
The shopkeeper saw Xia Yu leaving and returning home, but the small box full of gold ingots placed on the table beside him did not take away at all.
A struggling face appeared on the shopkeeper’s face, but the next moment, his eyes became calm and rational again, only to hear that he suddenly spoke to Xia Yu who was about to leave and return home: “Girl, you forgot to bring your things. Up.”
And Xia Yu, who had already stepped out of the door of the hall, was taken aback when he heard his words, then turned around, looked at the shopkeeper with a pair of surprised eyes, and said: “I haven’t forgotten. Just leave the stuff here. Anyway, we will come to ask the shopkeeper tomorrow, so we don’t have to take it so troublesomely.”
When the shopkeeper heard Xia Yu’s words, he couldn’t help but smile and said, “You little girl is very magnificent. Did you know that the gold ingots in your small box are almost equal to the savings that I have spent most of my life building a coffin.”
“You are not afraid. I took this small box of gold ingots directly from you, and then walked far away, so that when you come over tomorrow, you will be empty?”
Hearing what the other party said, Xia Yu did not hesitate, and said without changing his face: “The shopkeeper is a person who has been the master of a city and was once respected as Qingtian. I don’t believe that such a person can also speak. But without faith, just talk about it and deceive me.”
“If someone like you is a lie, I don’t know who else I can trust.”
After hearing Xia Yu’s words, the treasurer suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, saying “The past is gone, don’t mention it again”, and then ignored Xia Yu and others, stood up, put his hands on his back, and stepped on his feet. Stepping forward, walked towards the backyard.
I don’t know why, looking at the distant back of the other party, Xia Yu felt that in the agenda of the year, the blue sky, who dared to be the first, dared to be the master of the world, and not afraid of power, seemed to come back suddenly.
Afterwards, Xia Yu and Huang Gong’s subordinates discussed, and decided to lead the crowd to check directly at the nearby location of the incident.
After walking a short distance, everyone has seen two manors that occupies an extremely large area.
When passing by the manor’s portal, Xia Yu came down. On the steps in front of the door, the stone cracks were covered with weeds, and the tiles above the gate tower were covered with lush weeds.
Even inside the half-opened vermilion door, there were many weeds coming out of the manor, eagerly poking out their heads, as if curiously peeping at the passing pedestrians.
Obviously, the two manors, for unknown reasons, did not seem to be used after they were built, so they were left unused by Huang Gong directly.
Xia Yu looked at the scene at the entrance of the manor passing by, and said in his heart: “No wonder, that group of people can sneak into Huang Gong’s house so easily, and kill Qingxue and others. There is such a big movement, but there is no such thing. It was discovered and noticed by anyone in Huang Gong’s mansion!”
