Chapter 224 Interrogation of Duobao Pavilion
The fog was thicker than when I first entered the city. The plaque of Duobao Pavilion was standing under the banyan tree and could no longer see clearly.
Zhou Zhao heard the footsteps behind him and knew that it was Tao Shangshan who followed Chen Jiyuan. When she looked back, she couldn't see clearly the two figures not far from the thick fog.
This kind of days covered by thick fog is indeed convenient for killing people.
Zhou Zhao thought, raised his eyes and looked at the banyan branches above the Big Banyan Tree Inn. He Tingshi could still see the bird's nest when he came. At this moment, he could only vaguely see the intermittent banyan branches, which looked inexplicably strange.
My eyes looked silent, but my ears were filled with the crowds of people in the inn.
"Ah! Sister Zhao! I almost bumped into you! Are you waiting for us here?"
Zhou Zhao withdrew his gaze and just hit Chen Jiyuan's eyes. His feet were nailed to the ground, but his body leaned forward. His hands shook several times in the air like a dog, grabbed Zhou Zhao's sleeve, and stood firmly. Obviously, he didn't expect Zhou Zhao to stop, and his eyes did not see the person ahead.
Zhou Zhao said "um" softly, turned around and entered Duobao Pavilion with Liu Huang.
A thick curtain was placed in front of the door of Duobao Pavilion, and some mist filled the air, but it was much better than outside.
The shop was empty and there were no new customers. When Zhou Zhao came in, the shopkeeper showed a hint of surprise in his eyes and immediately asked, "This female lady, what's the problem with the Evil-Breaking Pearl?"
Zhou Zhao smiled at the shopkeeper's squinting eyes, "Is it possible to discuss big business with you, can I go to the elegant room to discuss?"
The shopkeeper nodded, called people to guard the store, and then led Zhou Zhao and others to the elegant room on the second floor.
Zhou Zhao looked carefully and saw two tall and big figures standing in front of the door of the Yashi room, holding a big sword in his hand, with a expressionless face and a faint evil spirit on his body. At first glance, he was used to shock the little sister Lian Jiazi.
After a few people entered the elegant room and closed the door, the shopkeeper asked Zhou Zhao curiously, "Don't you know the big deal that the female young master said?"
At this moment, Zhou Zhao suddenly moved his feet, and his whole body rushed towards the shopkeeper like a flash of lightning. The shopkeeper's pupils suddenly shrank, and he raised his palm to answer, wanting to call someone in his mouth.
But as soon as the hand started, I felt my neck tightening...
A cold and pissy blue dagger was already pressed against his throat.
"Whether to buy news or life depends on how you choose."
Zhou Zhao said in a light tone, Tao Shangshan next to him opened his eyes as if he was a ghost. Isn’t we not Tingwei Temple to handle the case? Why did you even use the knife directly?
"Who is the anti-worm medicine in the Evil-Repelling Pearl? Where have the missing people gone?"
The shopkeeper trembled when he heard this. When he moved, the dagger suddenly slashed his skin. He quickly calmed down his mind, "Why not put the dagger down, I must have said everything."
Zhou Zhao shook his head, "When Li Youzhi came, did you tell him that too?"
The shopkeeper's face changed, "Are you a little Zhou master in Tingwei Temple? Our young master said that if someone comes to ask, you must not disclose it at will, but if you are a little Zhou master, we must not hide it."
Duobao Pavilion is the property of Fan Fuma, and their young owner is Fan Lishen.
Zhou Zhao let go of his hand, the shopkeeper held the Bo Gu shelf beside him and breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "Mr. Xiao Zhou misunderstood. Our Duobao Pavilion is definitely not a murderer, but just wants to make some money.
After the blood mist broke out, the people in the city were panicked.
If someone is afraid, we will dispel the fear. This is a great way to make money.
Our Duobao Pavilion has many contacts with people from the world, and we know many strange people and strange things. According to the villain, the blood mist is very likely to be a Gu worm. When the Gu worms gather together, it is a scarlet blood mist. If it disperses and becomes a small red dot, it will be impossible to see clearly with the naked eye. This is what is called coming without a trace. "Zhou Zhao heard this and did not believe in the words of the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion in front of him.
Fan Lishen has been away from Chang'an for several years and has a uncertain whereabouts. The person in front of him is probably not even seen by the young master, so he may not be loyal.
"Can Li Youzhi know about the incident of the insects?"
The shopkeeper shook his head. He looked at Tao Tingshi and Chen Jiyuan standing at the door, and lowered his voice, "He shouldn't know. He had come to Duobao Pavilion to ask, but I..."
The shopkeeper patted the money bag and continued, "I didn't say that, first, he doesn't give money, second, we have to make money by relying on this."
Zhou Zhao was silent.
She remembered that in the Cuju case, whenever you give money, Duobaoge would steal the ball.
Here, it is hard to move without money, and it is okay to have money.
Li Youzhi, a minor official in the Tingwei Temple, was under the supervision of He Tingshi, so it was impossible for him to pay for money in private to buy news from Duobao Pavilion.
Zhou Zhao thought, his eyes moved, and he said, "How did you confirm what kind of insect is? Who did you find to prepare medicine?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The shopkeeper shook his head, "I didn't confirm. I was looking for Master Qi from Tianji Hall in Tianying City."
He said, feeling his arm hurt. He subconsciously exclaimed in surprise and shouted several times, but he couldn't make any sound at all.
Zhou Zhao ticks his mute hole.
Zhou Zhao looked at him coldly, "You'd better understand that it's not that you answered me for Fan Lishen's sake, but that I'm making you less guilty for Fan Lishen's sake. You'd better be honest, you're so well-informed that you should know that I killed the Lord Qi, and I'm the Lord of Tianji, who is the Lord of Tianji after him.
Your guess is not sure. You don’t know the type of Gu worms and don’t have Gu worms in your hands. How to dispense medicine? ”
She didn't understand the ways of Tianjitang, but didn't she have Ah Huang?
"You have calmed down now and know how to answer?"
The shopkeeper had a pale face and nodded silently.
Zhou Zhao untied his mute hole, he breathed a sigh of relief, and covered his arm.
"I have three Gu insects in my hand. The Confucian scholar exploded with blood mist in front of my shop. At that time, I secretly caught one. Among the yamen runners in the county town, one of us was ours. When Li You died, he happened to be at the scene and arrested two more.
I sent two of the insects to Tianying City. One was killed while the master of the Qi Hall was trying the medicine, and the other one was collected by himself. ”
The shopkeeper said, with a pale face, walked to the cage, took out a wooden box from it, and opened it, and there was a small green glass cup with a lid on it.
"Just here, there are seven items, which were collected by our people when the disappearance occurred later. The reason I kept staring at it was to see that the insects would change, so as to prevent the evil-proof bead from being useless and damage the reputation of our Duobao Pavilion.
Secondly, there are so many strange people in this world. Maybe someone wants to buy some fresh snakes, insects, rats and ants. We are prepared for any trouble. ”
What a prepared person!
Zhou Zhao glanced at the shopkeeper deeply and took the wooden box.
"Did Lord Qi mention the origin of this Gu worm? When did he come here? Is there something strange about the Gu worm in your hand?"
