As if nothing had happened, a waiter asked,
I heard that the shopkeeper died unexpectedly a few days ago. Why didn't I hear about the funeral arrangements? The clerk shook his head happily and said,
Sir, that's a rumor. My shopkeeper is doing well. He took his concubine on a trip early this morning.
After chatting for a while and dismissing the waiter, he paid the bill and said he was going to the hut. When he came to the corner of the courtyard, no one noticed him. He followed the path through the rockery to the backyard.
The door of the single-family villa was locked. There was an old man cleaning not far from the door. Qinggong flew into the courtyard and pushed the door into the house.
The room was full of spider webs, and you could still vaguely see blood stains on the ground. The room was very messy, and I guess the bodies were handled in a hurry.
Feng Ziyue walked around the house a few times and found out that there was a chamber pot that was well treated. Others put the chamber pot outside the house or in the corner.
The shopkeeper's method was exactly the opposite. He placed the chamber pot in front of the restaurant and placed it alone. He happily walked over to get the chamber pot without moving it.
After careful inspection, there is nothing unusual. Could it be that they are rusted and welded together over time? Shake it hard a few times and turn around and leave.
Suddenly there was a crunching sound. I looked back and saw the chamber pot rotating. A light flashed on the wall in front of me and a door opened. It was interesting to see that the chamber pot was a switch.
Afraid of an ambush, he picked up a stool and threw it into the secret passage. Everything went normally and he entered the secret room. He saw the dazzling light of gold, silver and jewelry.
It turned out to be a treasure house. There were several pieces of gold weighing more than 10,000 kilograms. The night pearl was bigger than a watermelon. Feng Ziyue couldn't put it down and touched the gold mountain.
I touched the luminous pearls and rare treasures again. I was a little excited and burst into tears. I muttered that these gold and silver jewels were too big and I couldn’t take them away.
I found a lot of gold bars and wrapped them in a pile. It was estimated that there were thousands of taels. I reluctantly waved goodbye to the treasure house and left.
I can't forget the key point of marking the restaurant's backyard in my mind. If I have the opportunity to come here in the future, I will take out my silver and spend it.
When I came to the chamber pot, I turned it a few times to close the secret door. Suddenly, a shadow flew across the dark room and broke a porcelain bottle with a clang.
Feng Ziyue chased after him and saw a wild cat jumping out of the window. He quickly left the backyard and came to the street.
I was a little upset that I couldn't find any clues. When I was thinking about how to start my investigation next, I saw a noisy group of people gathering in front of me.
I squeezed into the crowd and looked around. I saw a woman lying on the ground, and two teenage children crying and yelling for their mother.
There were many discussions about how pitiful he was. He suddenly fell ill and died, and there was no money to cover it. What will happen to the two children in the future?
Feng Ziyue knelt down to observe that the woman still had a pulse. There was an inn not far away. He picked up the woman and led the child to the inn quickly.
He asked the shopkeeper to quickly ask a doctor to come and treat him. He would be responsible for all the expenses. The shopkeeper did not move and looked down on him, saying,
They are so poor that they don't even have money for medical treatment, and they can't live in my store! After saying hello to the waiter, he went out.
Feng Ziyue was very angry and the consequences would be serious. She yelled, shook her arms and took out a gold bar.
Hand it to the shopkeeper and go and invite the doctor. The shopkeeper and the waiter, with green eyes flashing, knelt down and kowtowed, shouting, "Sir, we will obey your orders in everything."
The two of them ran to ask the doctor, and the shopkeeper personally arranged a room for them to stay in, with a dedicated person serving them 24 hours a day.
After the doctor came and gave some simple treatment, he finally saved his life. He just prescribed a prescription and boiled the medicine on time.
Feng Ziyue stayed next door to check on the woman and children. It was getting late and she was a little tired after a busy day.
I lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly. After the third watch, I heard a noise in the corridor and peeked through the crack in the door.
I saw the shopkeeper and a few waiters carrying the sick woman out and quickly came to the corner of the vegetable field across the courtyard.
They started digging a hole and it looked like they were going to bury the woman. A few people were busy working in secret. Feng Ziyue stood behind them lightly.
He patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and asked why he did such a hateful thing. The shopkeeper thought it was because the waiter was talking too much, so he scolded me until I could do whatever I wanted.
Why do you talk so much? Work quickly, hold a lantern and carefully count the workers who are working, and look back slowly,
Feng Ziyue came out wearing a white dress and her hair was scattered at night. When the outdoor wind blew, her white robe shook and her hair was fanned.
The shopkeeper screamed and fell right into the big hole that had been dug. The other waiters looked back and jumped into the big hole without any explanation.
I was so frightened that I prayed incoherently, and kowtowed my head.
Feng Ziyue picked up the lantern and shouted, don't make any noise in the middle of the night because it might attract ghosts. The waiter and the shopkeeper climbed out of the pit and saw that the customers felt more at ease.
The shopkeeper recounted the process and said that the woman had improved after being treated by a doctor. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the shopkeeper noticed that the woman's face turned pale.
I stared and couldn't breathe. I was afraid that the news of the death in the store would lead to a lawsuit, so I called a few waiters to prepare to bury her secretly.
After checking, Feng Ziyue found that the woman was just in shock, so she ordered them to carry her back to the room and asked the shopkeeper to call the wife and maids over.
He quickly heated up hot water and a big wooden bucket, put in an elixir and took a bath. The next day, the woman returned to normal, kowtowed to Feng Ziyue and was stopped.
He gave them some money and told them to go home and live a good life. The two children were very sensible and even shook hands with him.
Feng Ziyue also wanted to find out the whereabouts of the murderer and the energy liquid. After checking out and leaving the inn, she prepared to go to Liu Zhong's house to search for clues.
After walking for more than 20 miles, I felt a little thirsty. There were no villages or shops around, so I followed the path and reached the mountainside.
I saw a tea stall at an empty intersection, and a few passers-by taking a rest and chatting, observing people and terrain, and making judgments.
A must for businessmen and hawkers here, it’s not an exaggeration to open a tea stall to earn some money, just relax your vigilance and carry a large bag of gold bars.
I came to sit down at a small table under three big trees, ordered a pot of tea and snacks, and drank tea while looking at the scenery.
There were two carriages filled with groceries, and soon a few passing merchants came on horseback. The more than ten tables in the teahouse were quickly filled.
Everyone spoke in mixed voices, and no one paid attention to anyone else. It was a pleasure for Feng Ziyue to listen to them talking about the mountains.
There was only one chair at the back where he was sitting. A beggar walked out of the woods, holding a broken bowl and a stick in his hand.
Feng Ziyue could see clearly from the corner of her eye that the beggar Huazi gritted her teeth and came to this table.
Seeing that there was no bench, I moved a stone and sat down. The shopkeeper came over with a kitchen knife.
You damn beggar, get out of here, or I'll chop you up! The beggar Hanako glared and cursed,
Are you looking down on others? Pointing at Feng Ziyue, am I not the one who pays the bills? The shopkeeper also asked in surprise,
Sir, do you know this stinky beggar? Feng Ziyue saw that it was not easy at first glance. She nodded and talked about the shopkeeper's tea and snacks.
I'll pay the bill, and a minor turmoil has calmed down. Tea and snacks are served together, and I can read the latest chapters of "Wu Wu Jiang Hu Zhao Bookstore" for free for the first time.
