Shopkeeper Meng stood up to say goodbye, his attitude was respectful but somewhat proud, and his attitude was obviously somewhat frivolous.
This is the cleverness of Shopkeeper Meng. A frivolous person will only make people look down upon, while a calm and restrained person will easily make people wary. Shopkeeper Meng’s behavior is very much like someone who has made contributions in front of the new owner and is proud of it.
A proud little man.
When they arrived at the door, the young man was already waiting there and respectfully handed the money card to Shopkeeper Meng. Shopkeeper Meng, who took the money card, didn't even look at the young man.
He walked towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion with square steps.
It wasn't until Shopkeeper Meng left that the young man walked slowly into the side hall, gave a respectful salute, and then said slowly: "Dad, this Shopkeeper Meng is too arrogant, everyone else who comes here is...
He begged us and wished he could give up all his possessions. But he actually dared to come and open his mouth to us lions."
After waving his hand, City Lord Guo Tong shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate these guys. They are not simple people who can be in charge of a chamber of commerce in the city.
If he hadn't had such a thing, he would probably have continued to waver. From this point of view, Shopkeeper Meng is stronger than the leaders of other forces."
As he spoke, Guo Tong reached out and took out the formation jade from his arms, gently placing it in his palm and playing with it, with a faint smile on his face, as if a businessman had made a lot of money through trading.
Seeing Guo Tong's appearance, the young man below frowned and couldn't help but said: "Dad, did you forget one thing? I remember that the painter specially sent someone here to ask us for information. I feel that there is nothing like that here.
Simple."
Looking at the young man below with some surprise, Guo Tong asked in confusion: "During this period, people from four families have come to ask for information every day. This kind of thing has almost become a daily routine. What is special this time."
The young man's face was still solemn and he said: "The painter sent someone here this time, his tone was extremely determined, and he explained that if there is any news about the gang that attacked the painter that night, we can negotiate any price. And the current owner of the painting
Xing, I specifically told you that if you can help, he owes you a favor."
"Well! How could this happen? Why didn't you come here and tell me earlier?" Guo Tong stood up fiercely and said with some anger.
In response to Guo Tong's anger, the young man still looked as normal and said helplessly: "Not only did the people below ignore this matter, but I didn't even take it seriously. There have been too many similar exchanges recently with the four Suwang ghost painting families.
, all thought this time was nothing special.
It was only after I heard the information provided by Shopkeeper Meng that I suddenly remembered what the painter had said earlier."
Guo Tong's face was uncertain. He raised his hand and pointed at the young man below, then looked hard at the door of the side hall, but finally sat back in the chair and sighed heavily.
"Dad, do you think that shopkeeper Meng, taking advantage of both families, deliberately sold part of the information to a painter and then came to us to sell it again?" Seeing Guo Tong's frustrated look, the young man endured it.
kept asking.
There was no immediate answer, Guo Tong fell into a long silence, as if he was quietly analyzing the whole thing, and the young man did not disturb him at this time.
After a while, Guo Tong suddenly shook his head and said: "No, although Shopkeeper Meng is greedy for money, he is not a fool. Doing this will not only be of no benefit to him, but will also cause trouble for himself.
And if the painter really gets even accurate information, he will not be allowed to hand it over to other people, and even his small trading company will be directly razed to the ground."
"Well, that should be the case. There was probably something wrong with the person he bought the information from. Although the painter got a little information, it probably wasn't much, so he cast a wide net to get information from the outside world."
Listening to Guo Tong's analysis, the young man seemed to think it was reasonable, but behind this reasonableness, it seemed that things had become too simple, so simple that even if you want to doubt it, you can't start.
"Contact the painter. It's best if you can contact Hua Xing directly. If you can't contact Hua Su, you can, but others definitely can't." Guo Tong's voice rose slightly, showing his determination for this request.
The young man didn't say another word, but nodded, and immediately turned around and left the side hall to do some work, leaving Guo Tong, who had a sinking face, sitting alone in the main seat.
Just like the thoughts of young people, although things are a bit unexpected, the development process and the changes in the middle are all very reasonable. Even if you don't understand the parts, you can easily deduce the hidden secrets.
But just because it is so reasonable and reasonable, everything is within his own estimation, which makes people feel uneasy. It seems that the appearance of Shopkeeper Meng has given him a huge opportunity and benefit, but in fact, he really has nothing The right and opportunity to choose, it seems that I have no other way to go.
Confused and complicated thoughts were pouring in at this moment, making it difficult for Guo Tong to calm down for a while. The biggest problem was that he did not find the problem, which seemed to be the biggest problem at hand.
"Hey, I hope things don't go beyond expectations. As the city lord, I have been in this vast city for a long time. Shopkeeper Meng seems to have lived here longer than me. If I am not sure about others, I am still somewhat sure about him. "
Muttering quietly, after carefully analyzing Shopkeeper Meng, Guo Tong seemed to feel a little more at ease.
…
In the quiet night, the hazy moonlight shines unevenly on the vast city through the thin clouds. Some places appear very bright without lights, but some places are pitch black.
Zuo Feng, who was sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed, was so focused that he couldn't see anything special at this moment. However, if someone with extremely strong mental power approached the room where he was, he would immediately be able to feel the presence or absence of something in the air. mental fluctuations.
Only those who have reached the stage of refining the gods and have the power of telepathy can accurately capture the seemingly invisible energy, which is the telepathy that countless warriors dream of. The starting point for releasing telepathy is sitting cross-legged on the bedside. Left wind.
After experiencing the previous events, Zuo Feng already has a clear understanding of the Lin family's surname. The person with the highest level of cultivation here is the big shopkeeper. He is probably at the middle level of the cultivation period and seems to be better than Tang Bin and Ikari. Even better.
Next is Rouge, and then the accountant and another guest. In a place like this, Zuo Feng doesn't need to worry too much. As long as he uses it carefully, the telekinesis he uses will hardly be noticed.
At this time, the courtyard where Zuo Feng was located was empty, he was the only one, and Shu Zai's room was naturally empty, and the family seemed to have no intention of sending anyone to replace Shu Zai and the vacancy.
After Shu Suo and Shu Kun hurriedly finished their dinner, they seemed to have left because of some important matter. Although they had received instructions from the shopkeeper to secretly monitor the two people, Zuo Feng did not take this matter too seriously.
, at least he didn't want to spend any experience on these two people.
Zuo Feng first used his mind power to explore the surroundings of the courtyard. This was the limit of what he could do now, but it was enough. Then Zuo Feng began to take action, quietly operating the formation in the mind sea.
The reason why you need to be careful with the formations in your Nianhai Sea is because the formations in the Nianhai Sea echo the psychedelic formations in Kuocheng. If it is still, there will be nothing special, but if it is fully operational,
Come on, you will quickly establish contact with the Lin Family Formation.
If the Lin family's formation is really activated at this time, I am afraid that not only the people of the Lin family will notice it, but also many important people in the city will notice it immediately.
Therefore, Zuo Feng only drives a small part of the formation in the Sea of Thoughts. This small part, which is isolated from the entire formation, transmits very subtle changes while operating.
A seemingly invisible thread of runes slowly rushed out of the sea of thoughts, flying out of the body along the center of the eyebrows. Compared with the golden thread released by the Imperial Formation Crystal, this thread was not only much slender, but also darker.
The light above is almost invisible.
This was not because Zuo Feng deliberately restrained himself, but because with all his strength, he could only condense it to this point. The thread flew out quickly and slowly landed on the window not far from the bedside.
A dense rune appeared, and then the runes and formations expanded from the window to the surroundings, and finally spread to the entire room where Zuo Feng was.
Slowly opening his eyes, Zuo Feng looked at the rune formations in the house in front of him. His heart moved slightly. Runes were carved on his slightly stretched out fingertips, and then a formation followed him.
The front of the fingers is condensed and formed.
Seeing that the small formation was formed, Zuo Feng stretched out his palm and patted it gently, and the formation flew lightly towards the roof. When the small formation fell on the roof, it quickly interacted with the formation of the house.
fused together.
The house formation has not changed at all, and there is nothing special about its operation. Zuo Feng has already retracted the extended rune thread with a wave of his hand.
With bright eyes, he looked at the slowly converging rune light around the house. The brilliance on the formation gradually faded, and finally disappeared on the roof, and the whole room became calm again.
With a gentle "breath", Zuo Feng couldn't help but sigh: "If it were done before, let alone doing these things, it would be extremely difficult to activate the formation without affecting other sub-formations. It seems that
Entering the core of the formation this time will be of great help to my improvement in formation runes."
As if he was very satisfied with what he was doing, Zuo Feng showed a satisfied smile on his face and said: "With this small formation, if someone is exploring or approaching the house, I will be aware of it immediately without attracting their attention.
.
In this way, I can finally have a relatively safe place in the Lin family, and the next step is to find a way to solve my physical problems."
As he spoke, Zuo Feng had already retracted his consciousness into his body, and at the same time his eyes slowly closed.
