Chapter 51 Death News
"Several officials, please come in!" Li Qing lowered his posture to the lowest level, and the blood and breath in his body were restrained as much as possible, so as not to reveal his Real martial arts cultivation.
The leading policeman walked in step by step, holding the saber on his waist. He looked at the furnishings around him, then chuckled and nodded, saying:
"No need. Nervous Li Tiejiang, it’s nothing serious, he just came over for questioning.”
This was within Li Qing’s expectation. If there was really something big involving him, it probably wouldn’t be a door-to-door questioning. So simple.
"If you have anything to ask, just ask the officials, I promise you will answer everything you know!" Li Qing promised.
"During this period, do you often go to the tavern next door?"
Hearing this question, Li Qing probably knew why these people were here, and he felt a little relieved. And then he replied without changing his face: "That's right. When I'm not busy, I like to go to the pub and have a drink." A wanted poster for a reward.
"Then you should have seen this person."
Li Qing stared at him and said affirmatively: "I've seen him before. I saw him several times when I went to the tavern. I didn't expect that this person is the Star Reaching Thief. It's really unexpected!"
Seeing that Li Qing was very cooperative. , the policeman asked: "Since you know it's him, why don't you go to the Prince's Mansion to provide clues? Do you mean you don't want the one hundred taels of silver?"
"Don't tell me, you haven't seen it yet. Wanted warrant."
All of a sudden, several detectives narrowed their eyes and stared at Li Qing's expression.
"Guards, what a misunderstanding. I went to see the wanted poster this morning. When I found out that I had seen the person in the portrait, I was so happy at the time. Unfortunately, someone had already jumped out, too. A drinker who often goes to the pub. ”
"The drinker rushed to the palace one step ahead of me. I didn't know as much information as that person, so I thought that no matter how big the palace was, the palace wouldn't pay a hundred taels for the same clues. I didn’t go.”
A very reasonable explanation. In fact, this was also Li Qing’s true thoughts at the time.
He didn't lack the one hundred taels of silver, and he didn't want to have too much contact with those Tianhuang nobles over this matter.
"Haha, don't be nervous, we are just asking. In fact, apart from you, there are also a few people who drank in the tavern who did not go to the palace to provide clues to the Star Reaching Thief."
< br>"Okay, tell me about the process you saw during the Star Reaching Thief, focusing on that person."
Li Qing made a gesture of reminiscing, and responded cooperatively: "That man likes to drink with a flask."
After some interrogation, Li Qing quickly took out a few pieces of broken silver, while Saying that the official had worked hard, he stuffed the broken silver into the arms of several people.
In this way, the several detectives left quite satisfied, without lingering or embarrassing Li Qing.
As Li Qing watched them leave, his inner thoughts suddenly began to wander.
‘The search intensity was much greater than expected. What on earth did this star-catching thief do that made the palace so angry?’
After sighing, Li Qing planned to close the door of the shop and not go anywhere today to avoid getting into trouble.
However, before I could close the door, another customer came over.
This man is tall and burly, even the strong Li Qing can't help but feel a sense of oppression in front of him, as if he is facing a giant.
“Forging iron or buying weapons?” Li Qing glanced at the man and asked.
"Did you hit this knife?" The strong man cherished his words like gold, and his face was always tense, as if everyone owed him hundreds of taels of silver.
Li Qing looked at the long knife in the strong man's hand and suddenly thought about it.
Isn’t this the knife I forged for Zhong Hui? How did it fall into the hands of this person? Speaking of which, since the Xiaocuiling incident ended, Zhong Hui has never come back to pay the balance of the forged knife.
Complaining in his heart, Li Qing replied: "I forged it. At that time, the man from Zhonghui still owed me a final payment. How did this knife fall into your hands?"
I don’t know the purpose of this strong man, but Li Qing has become slightly vigilant. Bang!
The man threw the knife on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhong is dead. Before he died, he asked me to bring the knife back. He said that he couldn't give me the remaining money. If I return the knife to you, it will be regarded as payment. "Tail money."
Hearing this, Li Qing was slightly startled, then sighed and picked up the knife.
"I see. It's such a pity. Brother Zhong was such a good person. It's so inappropriate to die like this!"
Li Qing was speaking from his heart. Less than a month later, I learned about the death of a familiar person.
This world really knows how to eat people.
"Thank you very much for this. May I ask your name?"
The strong man replied succinctly: "Zhao Yuan!"
"I have admired you for a long time!" Li Qing put the knife away and hugged him Hold fist.
Zhao Yuan did not speak, just stood there in silence for a while.
The other party's attitude made Li Qing confused for a while.
"Brother Zhao, is there anything else?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yuancai nodded and replied: "You are a good swordsman, can you help me with a weapon?"
< br>It turned out that I was going to make weapons, but I had to ask before I said it. It was the first time I saw such an introverted person!
"Of course it's no problem. What kind of weapon do you want, tell me your requirements."
"Knife, big knife! A big knife of more than three hundred kilograms!" Zhao Yuan said seriously: "About how many taels of silver?"
"Three hundred kilograms would cost at least fifty taels of silver." Li Qing thought for a while and gave a low but not outrageous price.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Zhao Yuan took out two silver ingots from his arms and handed them directly to Li Qing.
“When can I come and pick up the knife?”
“Five days!”
“Deal! Make sure you get me a good knife!”
< br>
After saying that, Zhao Yuan turned around and left directly, which made Li Qing doubt himself and whether he should consider raising the price in the future.
But feeling the weight of the two silver ingots in his hands, Li Qing put this idea away.
Business is still relatively slow at the moment, so there is no need to raise prices. If you give others two more weapons, you can live longer.
In this way, Li Qing, who took Zhao Yuan's order, temporarily shelved his plan to go to Xiaocuiling to hunt tigers.
“Hey, I don’t know what happened to that boy Qi Kang. Can Xiao Cuiling survive with such chaos in the fields?”
After learning that so many people had died in Xiaocuiling, Li Qing made up his mind to be more cautious in the future.
There is no need to risk your life just to get some treasure opportunities, living a stable life is the best!
