(Thanks to the book friend "Soul Drunk in Xiangxi" for the 5 recommendation votes.)
I just asked the innkeeper to settle the account and prepare to check out.
Suddenly, the bank manager Lu came up to him again, and Xie Yu silently exclaimed: "Does this manager Lu want to go back on his word? It's because he charged less in handling fees? Actually, it's not impossible..."
However, shopkeeper Lu asked the store owner to open a private room for a while and invited Xie Yu over.
After Xie Yu sat down, Xie Yu was thinking about whether to bleed any more.
Shopkeeper Lu, who had been calm just now, suddenly said in a weak tone: "Xiao Ke is too blind to see Taishan. Thank you for your forgiveness, sir. Please forgive me!"
Later, shopkeeper Lu not only returned the few small silver notes "given" by Xie Yu, but also doubled the number of small silver notes.
Xie Yu asked in confusion: "Shopkeeper Lu, what do you mean?"
Shopkeeper Lu: "If you don't speak secretly, I can make Dan Fengxuan suffer, so of course you have the ability."
Xie Yu raised his eyebrows, put his hand on his stainless steel sword, and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, what do you mean by this? Do you want to threaten me?"
At this time, Xie Yu realized that he was still impatient and careless. Since ancient times, the financial industry has been the fastest in terms of being well-informed about information.
Since Qianliang silver notes can only be used by large merchants to do business, the number of banknotes issued by the bank must be numbered. The banker even has a rough idea of who holds each Qianliang silver note.
Seeing that Xie Yu wanted to use his sword to threaten, shopkeeper Lu quickly showed a professional smile and said: "Master, with your ability, Xiaoke threatens you, not because he dislikes his own longevity."
Xie Yu: "Then what do you mean!"
Shopkeeper Lu: "It's quite strange to say that our Lujiazhuang is quite famous among this generation."
"It has nothing to do with Danfengxuan, who recently destroyed Yueyang Gate and Shuanghe Hall under the banner of revenge."
After saying this, shopkeeper Lu glanced at Xie Yu and saw Xie Yu's expressionless reaction.
He could only continue: "But the Ganjiu sister of Danfengxuan suddenly killed twenty-eight old and weak members of my Lu family. What is the meaning of this?"
Hearing what Shopkeeper Lu said, Xie Yu finally said, "What, Gan Jiumei massacred twenty-eight people in Lujiazhuang? When did this happen?"
Shopkeeper Lu: "I received a message this morning. It happened yesterday morning. Fortunately, my uncle Lu Tianhao took his children and grandchildren to the temple to offer incense and fulfill his vow. Otherwise..."
Xie Yu: "It's lucky indeed, but how do you know that this was done by Gan Jiujiu of Danfengxuan."
Shopkeeper Lu: "He said he was a steward and hid in the grass without being discovered by them. He said the leading woman admitted that she was Dan Fengxuan's Gan Jiumei."
"I said that I have no grudge against Lujiazhuang. I just couldn't stand the people of Lujiazhuang showing off their power in the martial arts world, so I took action."
"It can be seen from the sky that our Lujiazhuang is the most hospitable. As long as you have some reputation in the world, when you pass by Lujiazhuang, I, Lujiazhuang, will not only warmly entertain you, but also often ask for money to see you off when you leave."
Xie Yu just sighed that those who opened banks in partnership with the government were indeed rich.
But it was difficult to say this, so he started to ask: "That means that there were a total of twenty-nine people staying in Lujiazhuang yesterday morning, and they killed twenty-eight of them, leaving only one steward."
Shopkeeper Lu: "That's true."
Xie Yu: "The steward, are you injured? How is your martial arts?"
Shopkeeper Lu: "The manager is not skilled in martial arts and was not injured."
"Master, what do you mean?"
Xie Yu: "How many are the bandits? What are their physical characteristics? Do you have any other information?"
Shopkeeper Lu: "There are four gangsters in total, three men and one woman. However, they are all wearing black masks and they are quite far away, so the steward did not see their appearance clearly."
"By the way, the woman calls herself Sister Gan Jiu, and there is another person called by Gan Jiu, Ruan Xing."
"Also, they are going to Penglai!"
Xie Yu understood that this was Jiang Qian's book-stealing strategy that he also liked to use.
How could a steward with different martial arts survive the disaster of being silenced and not only be unscathed, but also get so much information.
Someone should have impersonated Gan Jiumei's name, killed people from Lujiazhuang, and put the blame on Gan Jiumei. After all, Ruan Xing was in Xie Yu's hands ten days ago.
This Ruan Xing is still here. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 956 Exploration
It is impossible to come back from the dead in front of Xie Yu.
But what is the purpose of thanking you? Is it "to divert trouble to the family!" or is it to "take advantage of troubled waters?"
Shopkeeper Lu: "Master, what are you thinking about!"
Xie Yu: "It doesn't matter what I'm thinking. Shopkeeper Lu, you're smart. Now don't hide from me. Tell me your thoughts and plans."
After a pause, Shopkeeper Lu said: "Sir, please be open. I would like to ask you to go to Lujiazhuang with me to investigate. Ruona Danfengxuan Gan's 19th sister is really the murderer."
"Xiao Ke, I still have some savings and favors over the years, and Lujiazhuang is also somewhat famous in the world."
"If not, Xiaoke has another way."
Xie Yu: "Actually, I don't need to ask any more questions. Shopkeeper Lu already has the answer in his mind."
Shopkeeper Lu: "I still want to invite Mr. Xie to leave. I just hope that Mr. Xie can be more fair."
Xie Yu accepted the banknote from Shopkeeper Lu and said, "I understand."
It seems that no matter what world, the brain is a good thing.
Even in this ruthless martial arts world, no matter how powerful your martial arts skills are or how overwhelming you are, you can't escape the plot of someone with deliberate intentions.
It seems that it is better to keep a low profile as a person, and it is better to make a fortune in silence.
Afterwards, Xie Yu got on the good horse prepared by shopkeeper Lu, and rushed to Lujiazhuang with him and his two guards. First update@
Of course, Xie Yu didn't abandon his own inferior horse, Xie Yu.
After all, I have been with Xie Yu for many days, and I am a hard-working person. There is no credit but hard work.
Besides, this horse fits the low-key style of Xie Yu, and most horse thieves would not take a chance on it.
The speed along the way was not slow. Fortunately, because the flight attendant was not carrying any weight, the bad horse could barely keep up.
The journey along the official road was smooth.
In just half a day, the four of them had arrived at Lujiazhuang.
The servants left behind by the Lu family saw the arrival of the village owner's most valued nephew, and they all knew that the Lu family's reputation in the world was related to the funds provided by shopkeeper Lu.
Naturally, he was very polite, and shopkeeper Lu knew that, so he would not treat himself as an outsider.
Just like the master, he ordered the servants of Lujiazhuang to feed their horses and prepare food for them.
Then, he asked other servants to take them to see the body of the murdered man.
Not to mention the corpses of more than 20 ordinary people, lying in one piece, were killed indiscriminately.
Xie Yu was also a little angry, secretly thinking that he would try his best to seek justice for them.
After that, he carefully inspected their wounds, naturally not mentioning it.
There were four perpetrators, two first-rate masters and two second-rate masters.
Three of them use swords and one uses a stick, but they are all ruthless men who hit the vital point with every move they make.
The person with the highest skill is indeed a top-notch female swordsman.
Judging from the situation, it does look like Gan Jiumei took action.
Just thinking of the butler's testimony again, Xie Yu was instantly confused.
What the hell is going on? Ordinarily the heroine shouldn't...
While Xie Yu was thinking, suddenly shopkeeper Lu walked in with his two guards. .
