Zhu Sui hurriedly shrank behind his subordinates, looking horrified. The sudden change made his consciousness confused.
Some don't understand the current situation.
Among the six martial arts masters, the tallest one is a fifth-grade Taoist Qi practitioner, and the other five are all martial arts practitioners.
As the twelfth son of the Zhu family, to be able to attract such a group of martial arts masters to ambush him, Shen Li understood that he was a little more aggressive.
Zhu Sui is just an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts. Among his so-called followers, the most powerful one is a seventh-level martial artist, so they really can't stand on the stage.
The proprietress and her sister looked on with cold eyes, showing no intention of stepping forward to help.
Seeing six people kill Zhu Sui's followers, and pushing Zhu Sui out of the inn with a knife on his neck, many diners seemed to have become mute, and no one dared to speak.
Besides, this is Luojing of the Northern Sui Dynasty. Even outside the city, those who dare to kill people in public must have a real background as high as the sky. If the background is not strong, Tongquetai is not a vegetarian.
After being frightened, Zhu Sui calmed down for a short time. He knew that everyone is a knife and a fish, so he didn't care about his face and begged for mercy: "Everyone, I am indeed the twelfth son of the Zhu family..."
Before he could say anything, a bloody man sneered: "Of course the brothers know that you are Zhu Sui, the twelfth son of the Zhu family."
"Hero, what I want to say is that as long as you let me go, the Zhu family will not only forget the past, I will also give you enough food and clothing to last a lifetime."
"Haha, I'm afraid Twelve Lang's brain is cramped. Since the brothers dare to touch you under the nose of Tongquetai, and the matter is settled, there must be no shortage of wealth, how can they let you go and take a gamble? Gambler’s attitude and Twelve Lang’s promise?”
The man who had been silent for a long time took back the knife, looked at Zhu Sui's clothes and accessories, and smiled: "Besides, with the current situation of the Zhu family, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford that much money based on your status as the twelfth son."
"Rich, rich!" Zhu Sui said hurriedly, "The Zhu family does not have money now, but I have money."
"Haha... interesting, you have money? Where did your money come from?"
"I earned it from doing business."
"I really don't believe it."
"Please believe me. I rely on the reputation of the Zhu family to do fur business with the grassland herdsmen!"
"Twelfth Young Master, don't you know that the imperial court has already issued an order prohibiting private merchants from doing business with the grassland?" A man asked with a sneer.
Zhu Sui said: "Even if the Zhu family begins to decline, no one would dare to attack a member of the Zhu family."
"We dare!"
"Who makes you the heroes of the world?"
"There are rumors outside that the Zhu family is used to being aloof. Even the servants in the family are arrogant and arrogant. Now it seems that this is easy to talk about."
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhu Sui could only lower his voice and smile.
These people calculated Zhu Sui's itinerary and deliberately waited at the Fresh Fish Stew Inn. How could he return empty-handed? They mocked Zhu Sui, pushed and pulled him, tied him up with a rope, and threw him on the back of a horse. One person took Zhu Sui there on horseback. Luo Jing galloped away in the opposite direction to the south, followed closely by the remaining five people.
The drama of a gangster kidnapping the twelfth son of the Zhu family came to an end.
I thought that was the end of the matter.
After eating and drinking, Shen Li burped and planned to find an inn in Luojing City to stay.
Although there are rooms for tourists to stay in Xianyu Stew, the sign hanging on the tree branch says that all the guest rooms have been rented to guests.
The words are written with charcoal. If there are any changes, just wipe them off with a rag and write again.
The eyes of the middle-aged Confucian scholar at the next table were too busy to see. On one side was a kidnapping case in broad daylight, and on the other side was Shen Li eating a big meal. The nine signature dishes of fresh fish stew were eaten by him. He had such a huge appetite. A young man like this is hard to find in the world.
"Master, is he leaving?"
Just as Shen Li was about to stand up and walk towards the inn counter, he heard the middle-aged Confucian scholar ask, and then nodded, "Sir, what can you teach me?"
"I don't want to take this advice seriously. I just want to ask a question. The young master is an immortal who descended from heaven to earth. Such an appetite is rare in the world!"
"No, no, sir, I have never met a few of my friends. They are the first-class eaters. Compared with them, I can only be regarded as an appetizer."
"Ah! There are such strange people in the world."
"The world is so big, capable people and strangers emerge in endlessly." Shen Li said with a smile.
He went to the counter to pay, and his eyes deliberately stayed on the proprietress.
"Hey, where did this handsome young man come from?" the landlady said with a smile.
"If I go back to the shopkeeper, I'm from Xia Nanwu."
"Nan Wu? Didn't Nan Wu and Sui Dynasty fight against each other on the border? How did you get here?"
"I was lucky enough to cross the border before the troops were deployed."
"Sister, how much is it?"
His sister fiddled with the abacus and calculated a number.
"Based on my appearance, I will charge you 20% less."
"Thank you, boss lady."
After giving him a deposit before the meal, Shen Li took out two more broken pieces of silver, weighed them, and gave him some change.
One of the waiters in the store ran to report the matter to the authorities, and the rest of the people did not dare to move to the body's position without permission, lest the officials come and cause trouble.
"The shopkeeper is used to this kind of thing?" Shen Li looked at the corpse for a few times, then turned around and asked with a smile.
Not to mention the proprietress, even the diners in the store remained calm. At most, the smell of blood was overwhelming, making it difficult to continue eating.
Some people also called friends to carry tables and eat outside the store.
This group of travelers traveling from north to south were used to seeing disputes in rivers and lakes, and none of them had ever seen a dead person, so they felt particularly calm.
"Madam boss, someone died in your store, which ruined everyone's food enjoyment. Why do you need to reduce your meal money?"
"That's right, shopkeeper. You sisters, because it's not easy for you to open a shop, you leave them to continue eating. If it were someone else, since they're dead, they would have run away without paying for the food!"
"Shopkeeper, if you ask me, you should just choose a husband among the big guys! To be honest, I have been able to do this since I was a child. Even though I am already forty-two years old, my body is as good as that of a young man."
"Don't listen to him. His body and skin are affected by his parents. You can see that his hair is about to fall out and turn into a monk. Maybe there is something unspeakable. Boss lady, you can choose me. I am not talented. I just won the scholarship this year and I am thirty years old. , it can be said that the future is bright!”
The proprietress Quan pretended not to hear and let them tease her. If she didn't even have this kind of courage, she would not be able to open this store long ago.
She said to Shen Li: "I'm more than used to it. It was fine in the past two years, only once every three or two months. I don't know what happened this year. Sometimes I come here three or four times a month. Xiao Langjun, please take a look at the store." bucket, and when the officials carry the body back to the Yamen for autopsy, the waiters will immediately wash it with clean water."
In addition to the full buckets, a rather large mop was also prepared.
Shen Li sighed: "The world is not peaceful."
"We sisters make a living from this fish shop. Even if the world is not peaceful, we have to keep it open in order to make a living."
When the diners saw that the proprietress ignored them and only talked to the handsome young man, they immediately shouted: "It turns out that the shopkeeper also likes to eat young grass."
At this time, the proprietress choked and said: "Is it possible that you are the only ones allowed to love the little lady?"
"Haha... what the boss lady said is wrong. You guys here don't love the little lady, but you, the boss lady!"
The diners burst into laughter after getting a bargain.
"Brother Chen, you are wrong. Although the landlady is old, she is still no different from a young lady. Her skin is like a red peach and her body is like a swimming dragon. Even the wealthy daughter in the city can't compare to our landlady! "
Shen Li joked: "The boss lady is very popular."
"I can't say whether you are popular or not. There are people who talk nonsense every day." She laughed.
She knows that the reason why the store is so crowded is that for most people, their appearance comes second, and the main reason is that the food is delicious and the fish stew is really fresh. You get what you pay for, unlike other inns. Generally speaking, because in Luojing, the most beautiful place, the price is much more expensive than other places.
Only in this way can the guests be kept, and the diners can spontaneously introduce their relatives and friends to come and dine.
Suddenly there was the rumble of horse hooves.
It's coming fiercely.
The diners outside the store quickly got up and took cover.
Not long after, a group of cavalry dismounted and rushed into the store.
"He is the retinue of the Zhu family escorting Twelve Lang." The big man with a strong face and unshaven beard said in a deep voice, taking off his helmet.
"They beat me to it, what should I do?"
"We got the news too late. The Zhu family hid it, thinking that everything was safe. Oh, it was really stupid. Such a big thing was not done by the Zhu family twenty years ago. How could he and his family handle it alone? ?" A man standing at the end of the team looked at the corpse a few times and sneered.
The bearded man sighed: "There are only a few days left for the Luotian Dajiao. There is not much time left. Don't say anything depressing. We have to find Zhu Twelve Lang as soon as possible."
As he spoke, he walked towards the counter.
He squinted his eyes at the two proprietresses, glanced sideways at Shen Li, and asked, "Can you describe the face of the person who took Zhu Twelve Lang away?"
The landlady simply said: "Yes."
"Okay, you're done. Bring a pen and paper."
Naturally, a cavalryman ran back to the horse and brought a pen and paper. As the man ran, the dull sound of the armor could be heard continuously, giving people a sense of oppression.
The man stretched out his arm, put the paper on the counter, and dipped the brush into ink, "Go ahead."
This man's painting was quite good. Not long after, the appearance of the six people who kidnapped Zhu Twelve appeared vividly on the paper.
"Where did they go?"
"Going south."
Luojing is in the north, and in the opposite direction, of course, is the south.
"Thank you." The man said.
"Don't dare."
After walking a few steps, the unshaven man turned to Shen Li and asked, "Where did the young man come from?"
"Nanwu."
"Nan Wu? Are you a spy from Nan Wu?" the man asked with a smile.
As soon as he said this, the diners looked at Shen Li in surprise.
"No, spies won't look for me like this. It's too eye-catching."
"Yeah, that's right."
It seemed like a casual question.
The man stared at Shen Li, "I have seen your appearance in the scroll."
"Oh? Is it because I look too handsome that someone drew it on me?"
The man laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "No, no, it's because there are powerful people in the world who are making a big fuss in Qifeng City. The people from Tongquetai have secretly drawn the key figures, and one of them is Xiao Langjun."
The news about Kaifeng City has been spread back to Luojing. The busy people in the streets are very interested in the young but powerful young man there. After all, any prodigy in the world is the best conversation starter. .
