After the food was served, Song Qian, who already had some experience in the world, consciously took out the silver needle and started pricking the food one by one.
In this world, general poisons can be detected with silver needles. Of course, silver needles cannot detect poisons such as Mongolian sweat medicine and aphrodisiacs.
Therefore, after Song Qian finished the test, Song Xuan picked up the chopsticks and started eating first.
Pure Yang Wuji Boy's Kung Fu is immune to all poisons. If there is no reaction to the pure Yang internal energy in the food, you can eat it with confidence.
Regarding Song Qian's actions, the shopkeeper felt a little uncomfortable, "Don't worry, I've been opening a shop here for more than ten years. The reputation is still guaranteed. It's not a shady shop."
"It's not easy to talk about."
Song Qian looked the shopkeeper up and down and said calmly: "You may not have opened a black shop in the past, but you are old now and your health is not good. What if you want to make a fortune so that you can retire from now on?"
As soon as these words came out, some of the other customers at the other tables in the store couldn't hold it back and laughed on the spot.
Some people even felt that what Song Qian said made sense, so they actually took out the silver needle from their arms and began to examine it cautiously.
The shopkeeper's face was livid with anger, "Two guests, are you here to mess with this old man? I'm doing my business, how can you taint someone's reputation for nothing?!"
Song Xuan calmly took out a piece of silver and put it on the table, and said calmly: "Is this enough to make up for your reputation?"
The shopkeeper glanced at the silver on the table and estimated that there were ten taels.
Ten taels of silver is nothing in the eyes of the rich and powerful, but for ordinary people, it is enough for a family to live for most of half a year.
The dissatisfaction on the shopkeeper's face instantly subsided and turned into a warm smile, "Young man, you're too polite, why don't you scold me a few more times? Otherwise, I'll feel a little uneasy taking this money."
Song Xuan smiled and said: "Let's just ask you something and tell the truth."
"Sir, you can ask whatever you want. I have been running a shop here for more than ten years. I have seen many customers passing by, and I am well-informed. There is nothing in this hundred-mile radius that I don't know about."
Song Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "Recently, there is a batch of goods at home that will be sent to the North. I am going to find an escort agency to escort me. I heard that Fuwei Escort Agency in the city is good. You are a local. Tell me the truth. Fuwei Escort Agency Is it reliable?"
"Fuwei Escort Agency?"
The old shopkeeper frowned and said: "Guest, if you were here before, I would definitely recommend you to choose Fuwei Escort Agency. Mr. Lin is a generous and honest man, and he is very honest. He is very respectable in the white and underworld. You can definitely rely on him to be your escort." Spectrum.
But now..."
The old shopkeeper lowered his voice and said: "Fuwei Escort Agency has been in big trouble recently. It is said that it provoked the Qingcheng Sect in Shu. I am afraid it will be difficult for the Lin family to survive this calamity.
At this time, I really don’t recommend that you come to Fuwei Escort Agency for escort. "
Song Xuan smiled and said, "Don't you care what the local government says?"
"How do you care?"
The old shopkeeper said: "The young master of the Lin family killed the son of the leader of the Qingcheng faction. The court has always stayed out of such grievances.
As long as the Qingcheng sect does not attack other ordinary people, even if the Lin family is wiped out, the government will only come out to collect the bodies afterwards and will not provoke the Qingcheng sect at all. "
Song Xuan frowned and said: "The Lin family has been running the Fuwei Escort Agency for so many years. Do you know some people in the martial arts world? Didn't you invite some helpers to help?"
"Why didn't you invite me?"
The old shopkeeper was also a chatty person. He talked about this gossip more enthusiastically than Song Xuan. Song Xuan told him everything he knew without asking any more questions.
"These days, Chief Bodyguard Lin Zhennan has been asking for help everywhere, and has sent letters one after another, but no one has come to help.
The leader of the Qingcheng Sect, Yu Canghai, has a unique skill that can destroy the heart. Who in the world knows this?
The Heart-Destroying Palm is so powerful that even an old man like me has heard of it. It is said that the person who is struck by the palm will have no scars after death, his body will be cold and will not bleed, but his heart will be shattered by the shock.
When others heard that the Qingcheng faction was being provoked, they were reluctant to get involved, for fear of causing trouble for themselves. "
"oh?"
Song Xuan's expression changed, and he looked at Song Qian. The two of them almost instantly thought of the death method of their predecessor Xu Changan.
There are many martial arts in the martial arts world who can do this kind of ability where no injuries can be seen on the outside, but the heart is shattered on the inside.
At first, Song Xuan did not connect this matter with Yu Canghai. After all, one was in Jiangzhe Prefecture and the other was in Shu, thousands of miles apart.
But at this moment, listening to the old shopkeeper, Song Xuan had a vague feeling that this matter might actually have something to do with Yu Canghai!
"Oh, what a pity Mr. Lin is a good person, but he has caused too much trouble this time."
The shopkeeper sighed: "They say he has a lot of connections, but connections always need to be supported by strength. People in the world will give him face for ordinary trivial matters.
But this time, the Lin family killed Master Yu's son. No one else in the martial arts world would even dare to make peace with this kind of murder.
Let me tell you, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. If Mr. Lin is ruthless and summons all the bodyguards from all over the country, there will be 800 bodyguards from all over the country. If there are too many, the Qingcheng Sect will have some scruples.
It's a pity that he was still too indecisive after all. Yesterday I heard that not only did he not recruit people, but he secretly dismissed the people from the escort agency. It was clear that he did not dare to confront the enemy head-on and only wanted to run away.
This man has no fighting spirit in the face of his enemies. It is estimated that the Lin family is not far away from being wiped out. "
Song Xuan glanced at the shopkeeper in surprise and praised: "You see far enough, more clearly than Lin Zhennan."
"Young hero is overly praised."
The old shopkeeper said proudly: "As I get older, I have seen more things. In addition, since I have been running a store here for more than ten years, I have seen a lot of various things going on from north to south. Many things can be understood at a glance."
As he spoke, he put the money on the table into his sleeve robe without leaving a trace, and whispered: "You two have asked so many things about the Lin family, are you coming from other places to help the Lin family?
For the sake of money, listen to my advice. When you have eaten and drank enough, go back and forth wherever you go. Don't get mixed up in the Lin family's muddy water.
As early as a few months ago, before the son of the leader of the Qingcheng Sect died, disciples had already come to Fuzhou County one after another, and they even had meals at my place.
People have been targeting the Lin family for a long time. Whether the son of the head of the family is dead or not, the Lin family will not be able to escape this disaster.
I have seen a lot of young and passionate young heroes like you who have to draw swords to help when encountering injustice. It is understandable that you want to be famous, but there is really no need to provoke martial arts sects such as the Qingcheng Sect. "
