There is a spacious courtyard in the mansion where the feudal king lives. The courtyard is full of illegitimate children of the feudal king. The feudal king has set a rule: illegitimate children have no right to inherit his property and status. Because of this rule, the concubines who did not belong to the feudal lord did not deliberately target these illegitimate children.
The night is already deep.
Hua Taisui opened the window of the inn room and stared at the night outside the window in a daze alone.
"Alas..." Hua Taisui suddenly sighed. He had been in Jiangshui City for more than half a month, but he still couldn't think of a way to get close to the Prince of Bugui. Originally, Hua Taisui wanted to sneak into the palace of Prince of Bugui, but who knew? The palace of the Prince of Guifan is heavily guarded and it is impossible to sneak in.
"Dong dong dong..." Suddenly there was a slight knock on the door.
"Come in," Hua Taisui said without looking back.
"Creak," the door was pushed open, and a shop assistant came in carrying a pot of tea: "Sir, the tea you requested has been delivered."
Hua Taisui turned around and nodded to the waiter: "Put it on the table."
"Hey," the waiter nodded, walked over, put the teapot on the table, and introduced: "This is tea brewed with good Pu'er. It tastes very clear and mellow. If you like it, I will brew it for you tomorrow." Growing tea,”
"Thank you for your work." Hua Taisui came over and threw two low-level spiritual stones to the waiter: "This is for you,"
The clerk hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." The clerk's day's remuneration was only three low-level spiritual stones, and the two low-level spiritual stones that Hua Tai Sui had given him had already caught up to more than half of his day's remuneration.
"Woooooooooo..." A woman's cry suddenly came from downstairs.
Hua Taisui's hand that just lifted the teapot paused for a moment, then turned to look at the waiter standing next to him in confusion: "Who is crying in the middle of the night?"
"It's...a banshee from out of town..." the guy replied.
"The banshee from out of town, why is she crying?" Hua Taisui asked curiously.
"This..." The guy spoke hesitantly.
Hua Taisui frowned: "Why, I can't say,"
"Sir, please don't ask about this matter, so as not to get into trouble," the waiter reminded me kindly.
The more the waiter said this, the more curious Hua Taisui became: "Just asking, how can I get into trouble?"
The clerk stepped forward and said in a low voice: "This matter has something to do with the feudal lord, so you'd better not inquire..."
Hua Taisui raised his eyebrows: "What does this matter have to do with the non-returning vassal king?"
"Sir, please stop asking. It's not good for you to know too much..." the waiter advised.
Hua Taisui stretched out his hand, and ten more low-level spirit stones appeared on the table: "Tell me the truth of the matter, and these spirit stones will be yours."
"Sir, you..." The waiter stared at the spiritual stone on the table: "Sir, are you kidding me?"
"I never joke. If you are worried, you can put these spirit stones away first," Hua Taisui said calmly.
The clerk swallowed hard and slowly stretched out his hand towards the spirit stone... Only after the clerk's hand actually touched the spirit stone did he finally believe that Hua Taisui was not joking with him. The clerk quickly took out ten low-level spirit stones. Put it away, and then said to Hua Taisui: "Sir, I can tell you the ins and outs of the matter, but you must keep it a secret and don't go out and talk nonsense."
Hua Taisui nodded: "I promise you, I won't go out and talk nonsense."
The waiter felt a little worried, so he turned around and closed the door and window.
Hua Taisui smiled and said, "Are you so careful?"
The clerk waved his hand: "Of course you have to be careful. What we are discussing now is the non-returning lord. If you are not careful, you will be killed." The prestige of the non-returning lord in Jiangshui City is very high, or rather , has a very bad reputation, and the monsters living in Jiangshui City are all afraid of not returning to the vassal king.
Hua Taisui twisted his mouth and said, "Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't tell me, please return those ten spirit stones to me immediately." Hua Taisui really thought the waiter was too ink-handed.
The waiter waved his hands hurriedly: "I'll say it, I'll say it right away... Well, the banshee crying downstairs is called Qing'er. She is from out of town. Three days ago, Qing'er accompanied her old father to Jiangshui City to do business. Who knew that she accidentally The King of the Non-Returning Domain suddenly saw him, and he said that Qing'er looked like a water spirit, with big eyes, a small and exquisite nose, and a rosy mouth... The King of the Non-Returning Domain fell in love with Qing'er at a glance. , immediately asked the guards to take Qing'er to the accompanying carriage. Qing'er's old father stepped forward to stop him, but was beaten to death by the guards. Seeing his old father's tragic death, Qing'er was suddenly heartbroken and passed out... "At this point, the guy suddenly stopped.
Hua Taisui was enjoying listening: "Why did you stop? Then tell me, what happened next?"
The clerk sighed and continued: "When Qing'er woke up, she found herself lying on the cold street, her clothes were torn, and her lower body was in unbearable pain..."
Hua Taisui frowned: "King Bugui has occupied Qing'er,"
The clerk nodded: "Yes, when Qing'er was unconscious, the Non-Returning Domain King took possession of her... To say that this Non-returning Domain King was really ruthless. After finishing the work, he just threw Qing'er away. On the road... Later, our boss went out to do errands. When he passed by an alley, he saw Qing'er lying on the ground with bruises all over her body. My boss felt soft-hearted and helped Qing'er back to the inn..." Speaking of which, buddy There was a trace of pity on his face. That Qing'er was so pitiful. Not only had she lost her innocence, but she had also lost her only old father. It was so sad.
"Does the owner of your inn know Qing'er's experience?" Hua Taisui suddenly asked.
"I know, Qing'er has already told my boss everything that happened," the clerk replied.
Hua Taisui was a little confused: "Since your boss knows Qing'er's experience, why does he dare to take Qing'er in? Isn't he afraid that if he doesn't return to the feudal lord, he will settle a score with him?"
The waiter smiled bitterly and said: "Our boss is kind-hearted, but he feels pity for Qing'er and can't bear to drive her away..."
"Oh, your boss is quite warm-hearted," Hua Taisui nodded slightly.
"Sir, I've said everything that needs to be said. You...don't go out and talk nonsense, especially you can't say that I told you..." the waiter said uneasily.
"Don't worry, I won't go out and talk nonsense," Hua Taisui promised again.
At this time, the clerk suddenly felt regretful. He regretted that he had discussed the personal affairs of the non-returning domain king for a few spiritual stones. You must know that the non-returning domain king was cruel by nature. If the non-returning domain king found out that he was talking about him behind his back, he would probably end up with it. Very miserable.
Just when the waiter was feeling regretful, Hua Taisui asked again: "Um, does the non-returning lord often kill banshees?"
