Lion Tower, its name has its origin.

It is said that there once was a bully in Wannian County who raped women and took them as concubines.

Wedding day, wedding night.

The woman has a strong temperament and is unwilling to submit.

First, he deliberately catered to the drunk bully, then locked the door, set fire to himself, and burned the originally huge house to the ground.

In the following decades, seven or eight people died suddenly and inexplicably, and rumors of haunting spread wildly throughout the county.

Until the previous owner of Yujiazhuang specially invited Qin Tianjian Qi practitioners to explore Feng Shui.

Follow the advice, adjust the layout, and build a four-story building.

Sitting west and facing east, with red columns, gray tiles, carved beams and painted pillars, and flying horns and eaves, it is very atmospheric.

In front of the door is a pair of stone lions with red eyes and grinning teeth, carved with talismans and Taoist patterns.

Just then, I calmed down my resentment, and now we live in peace.

"Master Dong, why are you free today? Come, please come upstairs!"

"Erlang Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time! No wonder, go to Xishan Mansion and take the salt road. It's a big business that makes a lot of money every day! Sit inside!"

"Boss Mr. Lin, it's still the same as before, a pot of Yulouchun, two plates of roasted meat, three plates of dried fruits, and a little song, right?"

"..."

The sun is setting in the west and it’s not dark yet.

Lanterns have been hung high in front of the Lion Tower and are brightly lit.

Shopkeeper Qiu, who looks honest and amiable and is about forty years old, stands outside to greet and send him off.

When he sees regular customers, he greets them with a smile;

If it’s your first time eating noodles, take the initiative to introduce some special dishes.

Shopkeeper Qiu is very familiar with what this young boy does.

No matter who you are, whether you are a trafficker or a pawn, you can still exchange a few words.

Seeing that the lobby was bustling with people and filled with diners, he showed a trace of satisfaction on his face.

Wannian County is no better than Tianjing City. When a small place opens its doors to do business, the picture is a long stream of water.

If there are no repeat customers, how can we survive?

Therefore, even when he became the shopkeeper, Qiu Changfu often greeted guests in person without any hesitation.

As the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face.

With this eager attitude, coupled with the wide variety of dim sum dishes at Lion House, the business has become more and more prosperous.

"What's going on? The dishes haven't been touched? Doesn't it suit the taste of the guests?"

Qiu Changfu put his hands in his sleeves and returned to the counter to calculate today's turnover.

But I saw a young man in gray clothes carrying the prepared food and lowering his head downstairs.

"Back to the shopkeeper, this is for Lan Baihu upstairs. He said that the fish is too rotten and the chicken is too old. He needs to change it in the kitchen... to make it fresher."

Shunzi felt distressed and said aggrievedly.

This ten-jin steamed large yellow croaker costs only fifty or sixty taels of silver to put on the table.

There is also the stewed whole chicken with yam and polygonatum odorifera added, and the soup is cooked for five hours, which is a great tonic.

Unexpectedly, Lan Baihu felt bad after just one taste and asked him to take it away and make it again.

“The fish meat is obviously fresh and tender, the chicken is cooked just right, and they are all freshly cooked, how could it not be fresh?”

Qiu Changfu looked puzzled and frowned.

"Shopkeeper, I think Lan Baihu's taste... is a little weird."

Shunzi hesitated.

"Why do you say that?"

Qiu Changfu asked.

"Lan Baihu... seems to like eating raw food very much. Yesterday, the chef in the kitchen made a wine-roasted sea bass fillet, and he was full of praise.

But when I cleaned up the dishes later, I found that the seasonings and the baking pan were not touched, but the fish fillets were eaten clean.

I also heard from the chef that a few chickens have been lost recently, and maybe there are weasels hiding in the building.

Will Lan Baihu do that?"

There was a bit of fear on Shunzi's face.

"Nonsense! There are many adults in the court who like delicious food and only eat food in its original flavor. This is nothing to be surprised about."

Qiu Changfu scolded with a straight face.

"You ask the chef in the back kitchen to get some prepared shrimps and crabs, and then send them up."

Shunzi obeyed, nodded and left.

"Like to eat raw meat? Lost the chicken?"

Qiu Changfu looked at the room on the fourth floor, doubts flashing in his eyes.

Eat and drink on the first and second floors of the Lion Building, listen to music and books,

The third floor is divided into private rooms for entertaining distinguished guests.

The fourth floor is not open to the public, but is used for overnight stays.

Lan Hong was there, recuperating and resting.

Most of the fields and shops in Wannian County are owned by Yujiazhuang.

This Lion Tower is naturally no exception.

How dare Qiu Changfu offend Butler Lan's nephew?

Therefore, eat and drink well these days, and serve them to your heart's content.

"I hope I'm overthinking it."

Qiu Changfu shook his head and said.

……

……

Fourth floor.

In the wing.

Lan Hong only wore a middle coat, with his chest and abdomen exposed, sitting at the table.

The originally heroic young face turned pale for some reason.

A dead chicken with its feathers plucked was placed on the table, with all its internal organs eviscerated.

Lan Hong's mouth was full of scarlet blood, his teeth were chewing bones, his face was cold and he said:

"That boy talks too much and always asks questions. We will deal with him later."

The window is open, and a shadow floats, hiding in the corner.

"It's not good to kill people. In the past few days, there has been very little movement in Heilongtai, Sanfa Division, and the Ministry of War.

In fact, the outside is loose and the inside is tight, spreading the bait and waiting for us to take the bait.

In Daming Mansion, any murder case will be reported directly and investigated carefully."

The sound of the shadow was as thin as a thread, reaching Lan Hong's ears.

"I have to avoid the limelight recently. You are hiding in Beizhen Fusi. This is a clever move. It can come in handy at critical times. You must not be exposed."

Lan Hong spit out a chicken bone with shredded meat and blood, and his pale face looked gloomy.

"Nothing, this body is dead. I thought that by being injured by Ji Jiulang, I would have the opportunity to go to Song Yunsheng's private house and get the remaining bone relic.

Who would have thought that that kid not only practiced martial arts horizontally, but also practiced Buddhism?

The force of that punch was mixed with the Buddha's breath of the thief and the bald donkey, severely damaging the physical body and making it difficult to recover."

The shadow fluctuated and he sighed:

"No wonder you can't control your desires. Returning the dead to death is a taboo technique. Once the cauldron is damaged, your mind will be affected immediately.

Speaking of which, Tianyunzi is indeed a genius of the world. He actually thought of using the Wujie Sect's body-liberating technique, combined with the Tianshen Sect's moving cauldron method, and finally integrating the body body practiced by Yinhun to create this "Longevity Technique"

》!

As long as the cauldron is intact, Qin Tianjian probably won’t notice anything strange in front of him!"
