Hearing this, the corners of Xiang Luoxi's mouth trembled slightly. Did someone say these words?
If you take in more than a dozen customers a day, your health won't be damaged?
Looking at Xiang Luoxi's frown, the man actually continued:
"Alas... Brother, you don't know, after the eldest lady came up with this idea, the brothers all started to save money, thinking that they would have a taste of the second lady..."
But before he could finish his words, the previous dagger had already pierced his chest.
And he just stared at Xiang Luoxi blankly, as if he didn't know what he said wrong.
"nausea......"
Xiang Luoxi murmured, then picked up his body and walked out of the room slowly.
He knew where the eldest lady lived, so he dumped the body directly in the eldest lady's courtyard.
The moonlight was like a curtain, covering the corpse. From the pale face and the eyes that were not closed, it could be seen that he died in a particularly hasty manner.
Who is it?
Who has such courage to touch the eldest lady’s servant?
Early the next morning, the place was crowded with people.
"What's going on! How can the eldest lady's residence be so noisy!"
Butler Su saw the crowd in the eldest lady's courtyard from a distance, and immediately cursed, this is the eldest lady's courtyard, not a market place!
But after Butler Su struggled to squeeze into the crowd, he saw the body surrounded by everyone and couldn't help but be stunned and said:
"This is...Fu Bao?"
Fu Bao was the eldest lady's favorite servant and was with her all day long. How could he die here?
Putting his hand in front of Fu Bao's nose, he found that he had no breath left. Butler Su frowned, stood up, and shouted:
"Who dares to openly kill people in Zou Mansion?"
It's okay if he killed someone else. This was the servant next to the eldest lady! If he was found dead here, I'm afraid the eldest lady would punish him for lax defense!
The more Butler Su thought about it, the angrier he became. He had just come out of the alley in the south of the city, and his body was almost empty. He was about to sleep comfortably with him, but he never expected that such a thing would happen in his house.
If the second lady's servant dies, it's not a big deal. You can just send someone to deal with it, but he is the eldest lady's servant, so this is a bit troublesome...
At this moment, another maid squeezed into the crowd. She came to Butler Su's side cautiously and said softly:
"Butler Su...the eldest lady asked you to come over..."
Upon hearing this, Butler Su's heart tightened. What should come will eventually come...
At the same time, a few hundred meters away in the second lady’s courtyard.
"What? You killed the person who came to kill you? And left the body in the eldest sister's courtyard?"
The second young lady looked at Xiang Luoxi with shock on her face. When he told her these things before, he acted like a normal person, as if killing someone was nothing to him...
"Indeed, if you are interested, you can take a look..."
Xiang Luoxi chuckled.
The second young lady shook her head, looked at Xiang Luoxi in disbelief, then took a deep breath and said:
"Now...eldest sister really won't let me go..."
Hearing this, Xiang Luoxi frowned and said sharply:
"snort......"
"If you continue to be so weak, just wait until the eldest lady sells you to an alley in the south of the city!"
It was clear that she was the one being bullied, but the second lady was still so submissive. No wonder she ended up in this situation.
"Cheng...chengnan alley?"
The second young lady’s face turned pale. How could she not know where that place was? Every once in a while, Tiancheng would use some food to buy it.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The girls who bought civilians from the outer city were all sent to the alley in the south of the city.
It won't be long before corpses are thrown out one after another. Some of them were tortured to death, and some of them couldn't stand such a humiliating life and were willing to die...
All in all, for Miss Er, it was a hellish place...
Looking at the second young lady's pale expression, Xiang Luoxi stepped forward, looked into her eyes quietly, and said lightly:
"If you trust me, I can be responsible for your safety, but I have a condition..."
Hearing Xiang Luoxi's words, the second lady swallowed, took two steps back, then pulled her clothes and asked cautiously:
"What...what are you going to do?"
Seeing the second young lady's reaction, Xiang Luoxi was speechless. How could he be interested in her? To be honest, the second young lady's appearance was not even half as good as Lin Shuang's.
"During the day, I am your servant, but I need you to cover up for me. I want to go outside the Zou Mansion to find out some information. Don't ask what I do. Guess it. Don't tell me. This is my request.
....”
Xiang Luoxi said with a serious look.
After all, he couldn't waste time in Zou Mansion. The food problem of the civilians outside the city had not yet been solved.
For some reason, Xiang Luoxi became a bit mysterious in the eyes of the second lady.
Outsider? Tiangong master?
The second lady really cannot put these two terms together.
But she can no longer think so much. Now, only Xiang Luoxi can be responsible for her safety, otherwise, she will be sold to the south alley by the eldest lady!
"I...I know..."
Xiang Luoxi secretly smiled, this little girl is easy to fool.
Then, Xiang Luoxi stretched out his right hand, and the golden light suddenly appeared on his index finger, and he touched the middle of the second young lady's eyebrows fiercely.
"hiss......"
The sudden pain made the second lady take two steps back. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. She looked at Xiang Luoxi with tearful eyes and said in confusion:
"You...what are you doing?"
Xiang Luoxi chuckled and said:
"Don't worry, I left a spiritual consciousness between your eyebrows. If you encounter danger, I will know it immediately..."
With Xiang Luoxi's speed, as long as the second lady encounters any danger in this city, he can reach her in a few breaths of time.
Doing this will give you a little more protection.
Knowing Xiang Luoxi's good intentions, the second lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then nodded and said:
"You...you took the trouble..."
Xiang Luoxi smiled faintly, then turned around, and in a flash, he came to the courtyard wall and said softly:
"Remember... keep it a secret for me..."
After saying that, Xiang Luoxi shuttled back and forth in the house like a ray of light and shadow. Someone saw the figure for a moment and couldn't help but rub their eyes and murmured:
"What swooped by? Was it a wild cat?"
The Zou Mansion area is indeed vast and can be as large as one-third of Bibo City, but it is only in the middle and lower reaches of the Celestial City. From this, it can be seen that compared to Bibo City, this Celestial City is like a sky.
An underground.
After sneaking out of Zou Mansion, Xiang Luoxi looked left and right, preparing to find a place where information could be circulated to get a better understanding of this Tiancheng.
Just as he was about to leave, a faint scent of tea caught his attention.
I saw an old man with a white beard thirty or forty meters away from me, leaning leisurely next to a detailed tea stall.
On one side are tables and chairs arranged, with guests sitting sporadically, talking to each other.
Xiang Luoxi suddenly became interested, walked up to him, and said to the old man:
“Uncle, bring me a pot of good tea!
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"
The old man glanced at Xiang Luoxi, and then said with a smile:
"Okay! Sir, please take a seat!"
Xiang Luoxi randomly picked a seat. While the old man was preparing tea soup for himself, Xiang Luoxi tilted his ears and eavesdropped on the conversation of the people next door.
"Hey, have you heard? The last time the food was stolen from the God of Wealth Pavilion, there is no trace of it. Even if we catch the smiling man, it will be useless..."
"Hey...what do I think it is? Isn't it just that little grain? The Caishen Pavilion family has a big business, so they won't care about this little grain..."
The man who spoke earlier shook his head and said in confusion:
"Then tell me, why does the Wealth God Pavilion family have a great business, so they still hold on to this small amount of food? Also, why didn't the Smiling Man steal the spiritual treasures from the Wealth God Pavilion, but did it with the food?
What about stealing?"
When he asked this question, the other person looked around alertly. When he found that no one was eavesdropping, he leaned into the person's ear and whispered:
"It is said that the Smiling Man is a habitual offender. Not only the God of Wealth Pavilion, but also various mansions and the Divine Light Tower have been visited by this Smiling Man..."
"Even the Divine Light Tower was..."
As soon as the man screamed out, another man covered his mouth and said repeatedly:
"Why are you shouting so loudly? This is a secret!!!"
"Although we are in a busy city, there might be someone hiding in a corner, eavesdropping on our conversation!"
Xiang Luoxi nodded and murmured:
"Yes... you really have to be careful, otherwise you will be eavesdropped by people like me..."
After looking around again, the man continued to whisper:
"According to rumors, all the things stolen by the Laughing Man were sent to the civilian areas outside the city. Let me tell you, those food were given to those untouchables. What a waste of money!"
"Sneaking out of Tiancheng? Isn't that a thirty-meter city wall? No wonder the laughing Taoist would be discovered if he did this..."
"Tch... That Taoist Xiao is a Heavenly Kung Fu master. What does a city wall of more than thirty meters count? Even if it is a city wall of more than one hundred meters, that guy can cross it just by moving his legs!"
"The reason why the Laughing Man was caught is because the Shenguang Tower captured several untouchables who had interacted with the Laughing Man! With them as threats, the Laughing Man was able to capture him obediently...
."
"..."
Xiang Luoxi heard the conversation between the two clearly. The old man made a pot of good tea for him. Through the mouth of the pot, he could smell the fresh fragrance of tea.
Pour it into a blue and white glazed porcelain tea cup. The tea soup is clear and without any impurities. Xiang Luoxi took a sip and couldn't help but praise:
“Great tea!”
Hearing Xiang Luoxi's admiration, the old man smiled happily and said:
"Young Master is really discerning. This is the most famous tea here. It's called Qingshen Tea. A pot only costs fifty coins..."
Xiang Luoxi nodded with a smile, and then was about to get the money for the old man, when his expression suddenly froze.
"Wen? Not gold coins?"
Xiang Luoxi suddenly thought that this was not the wilderness, and the gold coins commonly used in the wilderness were of no use here...
Xiang Luoxi scratched his head, he couldn't bully innocent small market vendors, right? If he turned around and walked away, wouldn't he become a bad guy who bullied the market?
Just when Xiang Luoxi was struggling, a familiar figure suddenly walked by on the road beside him.
He is the boss that Xiang Luoxi met when he first arrived at Zou Mansion.
On the boss's waist, there was a full money bag. When he saw this money bag, Xiang Luoxi's face rose slightly...
