Tongfu Inn, since Yang Huilan left, Big Mouth has been sitting at the door like a Wangfuyan, motionless.
Although the shopkeepers looked a little anxious, they had nothing to do. Fortunately, the big mouth was not completely motionless. It still moved when eating and cooking.
but. .
"Bah, what kind of dish is this? Why does it taste so bad!"
I saw a customer vomiting it out after taking a bite of food.
Although the guests at the other tables did not react as much as the guests at the table just now, their faces were also very unhappy, and it was obvious that the dish was not to their taste.
Seeing that a customer was getting angry, the shopkeeper, who had tasted the food from the past two days, quickly went over to apologize and comforted him with a smile:
"I'm sorry, everyone. The cook has been out of sorts for the past two days. Please bear with me. I'll treat this meal as my own."
All the diners also glanced at Dazui, who was sitting motionless at the door. They had already heard about Dazui, and everyone shook their heads helplessly.
"Hey, forget it, that's it this time."
The angry customer just now waved his hand helplessly, and then he stood up and left. When he passed by Dazui, he even patted Dazui on the shoulder.
"Hey, Big Mouth is still sitting?"
At this time, Lao Xing happened to walk in from outside the door. Lao Xing looked at the big mouth sitting at the door and couldn't help but say hello.
However, Big Mouth remained motionless and silent, as if he had been clicked by Lao Bai.
Lao Xing was not surprised and walked directly into the lobby.
"Hey, Lao Xing is here." The shopkeeper welcomed with a smile.
Lao Bai poured water for Lao Xing, Xiucai watched them from the counter, but Xiao Guo did not move.
"I haven't seen you for several days. What have you been busy with these two days?" The shopkeeper smiled and handed the tea to Lao Xing and asked curiously.
I haven't seen anyone from Lao Xing in the past two days. Xiaoliu is patrolling the streets alone.
Yes, since Heifeng Village was annihilated, all the temporarily hired personnel have been disbanded, and there are only two detectives left in the town, Xiao Liu and Lao Xing.
Lao Xing, Lou Zhixian, and Xiao Liu originally wanted to keep a few people as detectives, but unfortunately the wages were too low and they couldn't retain them at all.
People who hunt can get one or two taels of silver every month, but you only get four for a head hunter, and even less for a fast hunter. Who can be retained with this kind of treatment?
Therefore, Xiao Liu and Lao Xing, the two chief and deputy chief catchers, became polished commanders again. They have to go back to patrolling the streets from house to house.
However, neither of them had any objections to this, because it was nothing to them.
Hearing Shopkeeper Tong's inquiry, Lao Xing looked at everyone. He waved to Shopkeeper Tong and whispered in her ear. Lao Bai also listened attentively. The scholar looked here curiously, and Xiao Guo He hesitated, but still didn't move. (Big mouth is petrified!)
"What, Xiaoliu is leaving?"
The shopkeeper quickly exclaimed after hearing Lao Xing's words.
Hearing the shopkeeper's exclamation, Xiucai walked over curiously. Even Xiao Guo was moved. She hesitated for a moment and followed Xiucai over. Da Zui was still petrified.
"Hush!" Lao Xing hurriedly booed to everyone, and then he whispered to everyone that Xiaoliu was about to go to Shibalipu to be the head catcher.
"Ah! No way, Xiaoliu has been working as a catcher for less than two months, and now he is promoted to the head catcher. Isn't this a little too fast?" the shopkeeper asked in disbelief.
Hearing this, Lao Xing smiled and said somewhat proudly:
"It doesn't matter who taught him the apprentice."
Seeing Lao Xing's arrogant look, everyone couldn't help but let out a cry.
Lao Xing had a good relationship with everyone in the inn, and he encountered a happy event at this time, so he didn't care. He continued to whisper to everyone:
"This matter is basically a done deal. Lin Zhixian of Shibalipu has personally communicated with Lou Zhixian. Now we just wait for Han Captou to retire, and Xiaoliu can officially take up his post in Shibalipu."
"So Xiao Liu will be leaving soon?" the shopkeeper asked with concern. To be honest, she was quite reluctant to let Xiao Liu leave.
In fact, it's not just her, Lao Bai, Xiucai, and even Xiao Guo are reluctant to leave Xiao Liu.
"It's not that fast. Han Captou will retire in about half a year, and our town is currently short of manpower. Therefore, after discussions between Lou Zhixian and Lin Zhixian, Xiaoliu will not be able to leave until three months at the earliest."
"Three months? Isn't it half a year?" The shopkeeper asked curiously.
"Nonsense, you have to familiarize yourself with the working environment in advance. These three months are just what Lou Zhixian and I fought hard for." Lao Xing said as if you are really stupid.
The shopkeeper and others also nodded in understanding.
"Okay, let's not say more. I have to tell Xiao Liu this good news. By the way, you are not allowed to spread it. The appointment has not been announced yet, so I told you. If I heard it from others, Yes, no wonder..."
Lao Xing made a move to draw his sword.
The shopkeeper and others were also familiar with Lao Xing, and they all nodded quickly and said they understood.
Seeing Lao Xing leave, the shopkeeper still said in disbelief. "Xiao Liu's promotion is too fast, isn't it?"
"Haha, what does this mean? With Xiaoliu's martial arts skills and his performance in wiping out the Black Wind Village this time, to be honest, I'm not surprised that he was directly promoted to the Sixth Gate." Lao Bai, who has broad experience, is not He said with satisfaction.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper, Xiucai, and Xiao Guo all nodded in agreement.
On Lao Xing's side, he had just walked out of the corner of the alley next to Tongfu Inn, and was about to tell Xiaoliu the good news, when he was suddenly grabbed by a hand stretched out in the darkness.
"Who? Uh-huh!" Lao Xing struggled to draw the knife, but was controlled by someone.
At the same time, at the six gates of the capital, Guo Juxia looked at the information in his hand that had just been urgently delivered from Luoyang.
After reading this information, Guo Juxia couldn't help but frown, and he took out another letter from the drawer. After reading both letters, Guo Juxia helplessly closed his eyes and shook his head.
The two letters were covered together, making it impossible to see the contents of the letters. However, on the exposed corner of one of the letters, the words Yan Xiaoliu were written.
"Lao Guo, it seems you care about that little guy?" A voice suddenly sounded.
Hearing this, Guo Juxia also opened his eyes, he sighed helplessly and said:
"It doesn't matter. My daughter is also there now, and she has a close relationship with this guy. But I didn't expect that this guy would cause such a big trouble!"
"Huh? The girl is there too?"
At this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared. She picked up the two letters on the table and read them. She had already read one and threw it aside. What she focused on was the second letter that Guo Juxia had just taken out.
At this time, if anyone sees the first letter facing up, they will definitely be shocked, because it says that five masters from the three major mafia families came out to hunt down the target, the deputy chief of Qixia Town, Yan Xiaoliu.
The pursuers: Feidaomen’s beauty cannot be discounted, the Five Poison Sect’s gold and silver elders, and Tiancan’s Shangguan Yundun!
Hunting bounty: 10,000 taels! (Another twenty thousand taels???)
