Shopkeeper Zhao felt cold all over, and his breathing and heartbeat seemed to have stopped.
An unknown chill arose, and his situation was already desperate.
That dry and hoarse voice seemed like a call from hell.
At this moment, he understood the cruelty of the other party.
It was revealed that the Mo family was the big boss behind Zuiyunju, and the Mo family was one of the top ten aristocratic families in Qingming Province.
It's hard to say whether Zhuihun Yamen will give him face, but the Lord of Qingye City, Xiao Hansheng, will definitely give him face.
That way we won't attract the soul-chasing yamen, and the white-haired man in the wine cellar won't be exposed.
The fire in Shopkeeper Zhao's eyes gradually shrank.
He thought about the consequences if he didn't die. If the Mo family held him accountable, he would still die, and it would be extremely miserable, and it would even involve his wife and children who were hiding in the capital.
Therefore, he must take care of everything, use the reason of repaying kindness, and then use his own life to clear everything!
In a short period of time, shopkeeper Zhao was going crazy. After constant thinking, he had to admit that the plan given by the white-haired man was the best plan.
So he stood up and laughed maniacally:
"Hahahahahahahaha...Chasing Soul Yamen? No need, Mr. Xiao, don't bother."
"That's right, it's me who wants to kill Lin Ming. It's the killer I paid for."
Shopkeeper Zhao was covered in white smoke, but his legs could still move freely. He took two steps forward, his eyes filled with hatred.
"You must not know who is the boss behind Zuiyunju, right?"
"I will make it clear to you today."
"The real boss behind Zuiyunju is the Mo family, Mo Xuanji!"
After a slight pause in his words, he looked around, "Killing for life is a matter of course. What I did was absolutely right."
"Master Xuanji is kind to others and has been very kind to me. Lin Ming, you and Master Xuanji were close friends, but you took his life during the martial arts test at Xuanwen Academy, right?!"
After hearing these words, everyone realized that there was a hidden meaning to the incident, and it might not be as simple as they thought.
At this time, they looked at Lin Ming with a bit more suspicion.
"If you really say that, shopkeeper Zhao is trying to repay his kindness, so I think I can still understand it."
"You have no understanding. Today he can assassinate one person, and tomorrow he can assassinate us. The reason is not important. What is important is that he did it."
"Well, who cares, I still don't know if what I'm saying is true or false. What if I'm falsely accusing Mr. Lin?"
"Mo Family? Mo Xuanji? This is one of the top ten aristocratic families in Qingming Province!"
Everyone was talking, not only the diners in the lobby but also the passers-by walking outside.
Lin Ming's appearance was handsome and upright, and ordinary people would feel close to him when they saw him.
Therefore, the public opinion of the people around him always favored Lin Ming.
Shopkeeper Zhao let out a shaky breath, and a hoarse and unpleasant voice came to his ears again: "Hurry up, you will hit the pillar and die."
Treat other people's lives as nothing!
Shopkeeper Zhao swallowed twice, and then said loudly: "I have already done the wrong thing. It is useless to say too much, but I have no regrets. Lin Ming, you are so sanctimonious. Even if you do it again a thousand times, I will still do it." People will kill you!”
When the words fell to the ground, he no longer hesitated and rushed out brazenly.
Bang!
His head was bruised and bleeding, and Shopkeeper Zhao died on the spot.
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Dead...dead? Really dead. This shopkeeper is so loyal that he is willing to pay the price with his life."
"I didn't see it, but this shopkeeper Zhao is still a sweetheart. Maybe what he says is somewhat trustworthy."
"Could it be that Mr. Lin really killed his friend and this led to revenge?"
"It seems that this handsome Mr. Lin is not a good guy. He looks good but has a poisonous heart."
The crowd's voices were louder from time to time, but they echoed clearly around.
Lu Xueye: ╰_╯╬
It swooped up to Lin Ming's head, stepped on the top of the magpie's tail crown, and bared its teeth at everyone.
"You are talking nonsense, my brother Ming is a good person!"
People around him either sneered or ignored him. People were dead right now, and there were many things that he couldn't argue with.
This is the last stubbornness of shopkeeper Zhao.
He wants to use Lin Ming as his backer!
It was impossible to kill someone, so there was only one way - to tarnish Lin Ming's reputation.
However, Lin Mingna flashed his ring and held a shadow stone in his hand.
Infused with spiritual energy, the picture unfolds.
Lin Ming smiled slightly and said, "The two people talking inside are holding folding fans named Mo Xuanji, and the other one is named Zhang You."
Afterwards, the image in the image stone finished playing.
Everyone suddenly realized.
It turns out that Mo Xuanji is not a kindhearted person at all, but a sinister disguise.
He was the first to murder Lin Ming!
At this time, Xiao Chuyang told some of the situations in Xuanwen Academy, emphasizing that Lin Ming's process of killing Mo Xuanji was an upright and compliant operation.
Everyone felt a little ashamed for a moment. They were embarrassed to have scolded Lin Ming just now.
Some people are thin-skinned, put down their meal money in a hurry, and leave directly.
Some people know their mistakes and can correct them. They stand up and apologize to Lin Ming with a glass of wine, and then drink it all in one gulp.
In this way, the effect that shopkeeper Zhao wanted to achieve was not achieved.
Instead, everyone began to despise the Mo family.
The big boss behind Zuiyunju is like this, and he doesn't even look good.
Although they were unwilling to offend the Mo family, one of the top ten aristocratic families in Qingyun Prefecture, over a trivial matter, they did not need to face Gang directly.
With word of mouth spreading, it is completely possible to stop your relatives and friends from visiting Zuiyunju.
In the wine cellar, the white-haired man looked gloomy, and his pupils revealed a fierce light.
"Hmph, what a Lin Ming. I didn't expect that the rumored second master of the Lin family who has been crippled is so well hidden."
"Measures, character, and strength are all among the best. I'm afraid those three years of dormancy were just to hide from the limelight."
"Let me tell you, how could the dignified second son of the Lin family not be able to condense it into divine writing? It turns out it's all a disguise."
"Good, excellent! I almost suffered a loss at your hands."
The white-haired man exerted force slightly with his right foot, and the dust on the ground spread silently to the surroundings.
"Unfortunately, my injury will take another three months to recover. Before then, I must not attract the attention of the Soul-Chasing Yamen... Once I expose my traces, attracting the Soul-Chasing Yamen will be more of a loss than the gain!"
Thinking of this, he stepped forward, walked to the ghost ghost who was undergoing transformation and fusion, and smiled coldly.
"Although this junior is a genius, I don't need to take action. Once you complete the transformation, you can take his life yourself."
The ghost was soaked in the wine jar, with an unknown liquid solidifying inside. He could not move, and only his head was exposed.
"Yes, I will obey Master's orders."
"Wrong." The white-haired man grinned, and a knife flashed suddenly in his sleeve.
An arc of blood suddenly appeared on Ghost's face, running from the right corner of his forehead through the bridge of his nose to the lower edge of his left cheek.
The white-haired man said: "You should hate, hate the world, hate me, hate him, hate yourself, hate everything! This hatred is the root of your actions."
"Only by finding the source of hatred can you truly fuse the dark ghost limbs. By then, it will be easy for you to kill Lin Ming."
The ghost nodded, his red eyes turning scarlet.
On the other side, due to the sudden death of shopkeeper Zhao, no one in Zuiyunju could take charge openly and could not compensate Lin Jing.
Lin Jing raised his hand and palmed it.
Snapped!
Zuiyunju's signboard shattered into powder.
He raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Others are afraid of the Mo family, but I, Lin Jing, are not. From today on, I promise you that there will be no business in Zuiyunju."
The people around him were not Bai Ding. They had been among the upper class of Qingye City all year round, so they still recognized Lin Jing.
Lin Jing is known as Lin Baozi, he is an expert with a spear, and he is a veteran Taihe realm master.
It is rumored that he was injured in the Three Kingdoms War more than ten years ago, so he made no progress for more than ten years and was never able to advance to the Taoist realm.
Hearing what he said, the surrounding diners immediately understood that Zuiyunju was probably about to end.
At this time, a fair and fat middle-aged man came outside the door.
The smile on his face was extremely kind, and he said loudly: "I am not talented, but I am the shopkeeper of Wanbao Tower, 'Liu Sanyou'."
"Liu feels deeply sorry for what happened in Zuiyunju, especially for the girls, chefs, and guys who work in Zuiyunju. They all work to make money, and most of them don't know who the real owner is."
Halfway through, Liu Sanyou's eyes filled with tears, and he quickly wiped them with his sleeves, and then said: "All of you in Zuiyunzhong are all talented people. If you get into this kind of thing, you will probably have to drink the northwest wind. Liu can't bear it. I hereby explain. …”
"In three days, I, Wanbaolou, will open a branch, focusing on food, wine, and beauties. It will be called Zhenyu Pavilion. We guarantee that the specifications and services will be superior to Zuiyunju. We welcome all like-minded people to come and join us."
Everyone: 〣(ºΔº)〣
There was a moment of silence, and everyone was in an uproar.
Good guy, really a good guy, Liu Sanyou came immediately as soon as something happened in Zuiyunju.
In public, he was poaching people and robbing customers. This last hit was absolutely amazing!
It was so fast that people were speechless, and it was so fast that it was difficult for the Mo family to react.
The corners of Liu Sanyou's mouth widened, and he smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.
He walked up to Lin Ming, bowed, and handed out the purple crystal card with both hands.
"This is the VIP card for my Wanbao Tower. I would like Mr. Lin to accept it with your favor."
Lin Ming was puzzled and touched the tip of his brow, "Why?"
Liu Sanyou chuckled kindly and said via voice:
"Because the young master indirectly helps me in Wanbao Tower."
"Now, Zuiyunju has a bad reputation. This is a God-given opportunity for me, Wanbao Tower."
"After this arrangement, the business of Wanbao Tower in Qingye City has increased by at least 30%."
Lin Ming nodded and took the VIP card, "If I go to make a purchase, how much discount will I get?"
Liu Sanyou was startled, and then his smile became even wider.
"Thirty percent off! I never thought that Mr. Lin is also a fellow-minded person. I like it, hahahahaha."
"Three days later, we will invite you to a banquet in the Zhenxiu Pavilion. Mr. Lin will definitely reward you with your respect."
Before Lin Ming could say anything, the little white guy on his shoulder raised his paws and roared: "Good, we have another big meal!"
Lin Ming shook his head slightly, moved his head, and bumped into Lu Xueye.
The little guy giggled happily.
Lin Ming said: "Okay, I will go there in three days, but where will it be?"
Liu Sanyou cupped his fists and shook his head, "It's right on the opposite side."
Lin Ming: ┐(-｡ｰ;)┌
At this time, Liu Sanyou turned to look at Lin Jing and Xiao Chuyang, "There are also Mr. Lin and Mr. Xiao, please be sure to show your respect."
Lin Jing and Xiao Chuyang nodded one after another and agreed.
Liu Sanyou clasped his fists again and bowed slightly, "Then I'll be waiting for you three distinguished guests. I won't bother you if I have something else to do."
After saying that, he cupped his hands, turned around and walked towards Zuiyun Residence to start his poaching project.
After walking out of Zuiyunju, Lin Jing patted the cigarette pole and said with an apologetic smile:
"What was originally a very happy incident has had such an episode, which disturbed Mr. Lin's interest."
Lin Ming raised his hand, "It doesn't matter, this is also a good thing. Let me know who assassinated me."
Lin Jing said: "Young Master has a generous heart, which is really extraordinary. I also want to ask, do you have time to heal me and my old friends these days?"
Lin Ming shook his head and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. How about going now?"
Lin Jing was stunned for a moment, his upper and lower eyelids clashing back and forth as if they were fighting.
After a moment, he came back to his senses, a flash of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
"Okay, then I'll take care of you."
