Chapter 9 A reward of 10,000 taels of gold

"Gululu..." Suddenly, a hungry sound came from Liu Yuyan's stomach. Liu Yuyan's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. Zhao Bao was stunned for a moment and patted his forehead and said, "Look, I only asked questions and forgot to ask for the purchase."

It's early. You two wait above, I'll go down and ask the waiter to bring some food."

"Xiao Bao..." Seeing that Zhao Bao was about to go out, Zhao Lin wanted to stop Zhao Bao and continue asking. She still didn't believe that Zhao Bao's magic formula was picked up from the stream below the peach blossom forest.

"If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later. Filling your stomach is the most important thing now." Zhao Baoke had no intention of continuing to make up stories for Zhao Lin. He ran out and closed the door.

"This little treasure is getting more and more cunning." Zhao Lin stamped her feet depressedly. This time she missed the opportunity to ask Zhao Bao, and next time she didn't know whether Zhao Bao would answer this question. The current Zhao Bao is completely different from the one he used to follow every day.

Behind her, there was Zhao Bao who obeyed her words.

"Sir, you're up, what do you want to eat in the morning?" When the waiter saw Zhao Bao coming downstairs, he quickly put on a smile and asked.

"What do you have for breakfast in your store?" Zhao Bao asked, nodding.

"We have Yangchun noodles, shredded pork noodles, steamed buns and other breakfast items here. If your guest wants to order some side dishes, we can also make them." The waiter greeted enthusiastically.

"Save the side dishes for frying at noon. Get me a cage of steamed buns, make two bowls of Yangchun noodles and take them upstairs. Then make me a bowl of shredded pork noodles and I'll eat them down below." Zhao Bao ordered, he didn't want to go upstairs now.

Give Zhao Lin a chance to continue asking.

"Okay, sir, please sit down. I'll let the kitchen cook for you..." After the shop boy wiped the tables and chairs for Zhao Bao with the rag on his shoulder, he walked to the kitchen and shouted, "Two bowls of Yangchun noodles."

, a bowl of shredded pork noodles, a basket of steamed buns..."

After Zhao Bao sat down, everyone around him looked at him with strange eyes, and some even whispered, "Looking at this kid wearing animal skins, he must be from a remote mountain village."

"Yes, people from this small mountain village don't know if they have money to pay for food?" Someone echoed maliciously and said it very loudly.

This man's malicious echo made the shopkeeper who was calculating and calculating behind the counter couldn't help but raise his head and look at Zhao Bao. Zhao Bao was sitting right opposite the shopkeeper. Seeing that the shopkeeper had looked over, Zhao Bao looked back indifferently.

.

Seeing Zhao Bao's indifferent eyes, the shopkeeper who originally wanted to let the shop boy collect the money first couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. For this reason, he gave up the plan of letting the shop boy collect the money first. There are too many unscrupulous people in this world.

Cultivators, although the Great Xia Dynasty issued a decree that cultivators were not allowed to attack ordinary people, there were very few people who abided by it. The shopkeeper didn't want to get killed by judging people based on their appearance. In business, people should pay attention to being gentle and making money.

Zhao Bao smiled with satisfaction when he saw that the shopkeeper was very sensible and didn't come to cause trouble. If the shopkeeper dared to look down on others, he wouldn't mind having a king's meal.

Hiss!

There was a sound of horses neighing outside the door of the Crescent Inn, and then a man in black clothes walked in. He went straight to the shopkeeper, took out a portrait and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, have you seen this?"

A little girl?"

The shopkeeper took a closer look at the portrait, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before."

The man in black clothes unfolded the portrait to face the diners and said, "Has any of you seen this little girl? If anyone knows the whereabouts of this little girl, you can come to me at the Shenlong Inn. If you can help us find this little girl,

, we will pay ten thousand taels of gold to thank you."

"Ten thousand taels of gold..." someone exclaimed.

"Who is this little girl? Is she worth ten thousand taels of gold?"

"Isn't he a little fugitive?"

"..."

The man in black clothes saw that after he told such an astonishing bounty, no one came out to say they had seen the little girl. He handed the portrait to the shopkeeper in disappointment, and took out a ingot of gold and said to the shopkeeper, "

Shopkeeper, post this portrait here and help us find the whereabouts of this little girl."

"Don't worry, sir, I will ask the passing guests one by one about the whereabouts of this little girl." The shopkeeper assured him after grabbing the gold.

The man in black clothes came and went like the wind, and he quickly left the inn.

After the man in black clothes left, all the diners stopped eating and they all chatted eagerly about gossip.

"Have you guessed who this little girl is?" someone asked in a low voice pretending to be mysterious.

"Is there any need to guess?" A middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears said coldly, "Recently, it is rumored that the Liu family of Jizhou obtained the Senluo Di Shu Jue among the handed down secrets, which attracted the siege of both good and evil forces. They

Hu Feng'er, the wife of the second son of the family, Liu Chuang, and her daughter were brutally robbed and killed on their way back to the Hu family for refuge. This little girl is probably Hu Feng'er's daughter."

"Oh, the trouble caused by the handed down magic formula. Hu Feng'er was the most beautiful woman in our Shenlong City back then. It is such a pity that she died like this." Someone sighed.

"I don't know who is so bold as to rob and kill Hu Feng'er in Shenlong City under the eyes of the Hu family!" someone said hesitantly.

"In order to pass on the secrets to the world, the Hu family may not be enough in the eyes of others..." someone mocked

"..."

Ever since Zhao Bao saw the portrait that was very similar to Liu Yuyan, he subconsciously wanted to leave the inn immediately. After hearing these people's comments, Zhao Bao not only wanted to leave the inn, he also wanted to leave the inn at night

After arriving, leave Shenlong City immediately!

Remembering that before Hu Feng'er died, he asked him to tell Liu Zhiying not to think about revenge in the future. Zhao Bao was basically convinced that the murderer of Liu Yuyan and others this time was the Hu family of Shenlong City. And Hu Feng'er was in the tragic murder.

Zhong also saw the identities of those masked men.

"Your Majesty, your shredded pork noodles..." After the boy from the shop came out of the guest room, he served the shredded pork noodles to Zhao Bao. Zhao Bao immediately wolfed down the noodles and ate the entire bowl of shredded pork noodles in a few seconds.

Before the waiter had time to leave Zhao Bao's table, looking at the noodle bowl that Zhao Bao had finished quickly, the waiter stammered, "Sir, do you want another bowl of noodles?"

"The noodles taste good. Two more bowls!" Zhao Bao touched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.

"Okay...two bowls of shredded pork noodles..." The waiter didn't dare to laugh at Zhao Bao, who was like a hungry ghost reincarnated, so he quickly walked to the kitchen.

"This mountain villager is not polite at all when he eats..."

"You say he is a mountain villager. Does he know what politeness is?"

The two people closest to Zhao Bao couldn't help but burst into sarcasm after seeing the gobbling performance.

Zhao Bao stood up and threw a piece of silver to the shopkeeper and said, "The shopkeeper settles the room and meal costs, and the rest is for these two noisy guys to find a doctor!"

"Looking for a doctor?" The shopkeeper quickly caught the money, but after hearing Zhao Bao's words, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"I really don't know how to be polite, and I hate people who are not polite in the first place but like to pretend to be polite! I see how you can eat politely after your arms are broken!" Zhao Bao walked to the table next to him and stretched out his hand.

The two men's arms were torn off in an instant!

"Ah...help..."

"Ouch, my arm is broken... The dispatch officer caught him..." The two gentlemen could not bear the pain of broken bones. They howled and rolled around.

When the diners around him saw this scene, they couldn't help but flee aside in panic. No one dared to come up and catch Zhao Bao.

"Male Gobi! Please be quiet, young master!" Zhao Bao was unyielding when he gained the upper hand. He stepped on the face of a gentle man, and a large ball of blood and teeth fell out from his mouth. The gentle man was directly hurt.

After fainting, another gentle man saw the miserable condition of his companion. He endured the severe pain on his shoulders and did not dare to make any sound!

"Don't be mean in the future, remember that trouble comes from your mouth!" Zhao Bao looked at another gentle man who endured the pain and left these words coldly, and walked towards the guest room.

After Zhao Bao's figure disappeared on the stairs, the gentle man who endured the pain shouted in pain again, "Shopkeeper, why don't you go report to the police to catch this murderer... My arms are broken..."

"Xiao Niu, go find Agent Qin quickly and ask a doctor to set the bones of these two guests." When the shopkeeper saw the two shop boys coming from the back of the kitchen carrying shredded pork noodles, he quickly ordered

After the shopkeeper put away the money thrown by Zhao Bao, he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced in his heart, "Fortunately, I don't judge people by their appearance, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save my old arms and legs."

When the waiter heard the shopkeeper's order, he quickly placed two bowls of shredded pork noodles on the counter and went out to find the policeman and the doctor.

"It's true that poor people come out of poor places. These villagers in the mountains are too barbaric." Someone said to express his anger.

"Keep your voice down, don't let that mountain villager hear it. Didn't you see that he stepped out all that man's teeth? Let's not provoke him." A friend next to this man quickly advised him.

Zhao Bao heard the conversation between the shopkeeper and the waiter on the stairs. After seeing the waiter leave the store, he immediately walked into the room, picked up the package and said, "Stop eating, put the tiger skin on Liu Yuyan, let's leave here immediately!"

"

"Why? I just took a few bites." Zhao Lin raised her face and looked at Zhao Bao in confusion. Liu Yuyan also looked at Zhao Bao with strange eyes.

"There's no time to explain. We have to leave right away. If we're late, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave!" Zhao Bao said with a gloomy expression after carrying Zhao Lin's package.

Zhao Lin saw that Zhao Bao looked ugly, so she put down her chopsticks and wrapped Liu Yuyan in tiger skin. During the wrapping process, Zhao Lin whispered, "What's going on? Is that masked man chasing after him with his companions?"

"Let's talk after we leave the inn!" Zhao Bao opened the door and walked quickly downstairs. Zhao Lin followed Zhao Bao downstairs without saying anything.

The people who were guarding the amputee below the inn couldn't help but stop their discussion after seeing Zhao Bao coming downstairs. They didn't want to be beaten by this savage mountain villager for saying something wrong.

"I want that savage brat to die miserably. I want him to die in prison..." The gentle man with a broken arm did not see Zhao Bao go downstairs. He said cruel words in pain.

"Ka!" Zhao Bao walked over and stepped on the gentle man's face. The teeth in the gentle man's mouth mixed with blood and fell to the ground.

After stepping on this, Zhao Bao said coldly, "I warned you, trouble will come from your mouth!"

Seeing such a savage and cruel Zhao Bao, the people watching were all silent, no one dared to speak. After Zhao Bao gave everyone a fierce look, he slowly left the inn.

After walking out of the Crescent Inn, Zhao Lin whispered in Zhao Bao's ear, "Xiao Bao, I saw Yu Yan's portrait. Is someone looking for Yu Yan?"

Zhao Bao nodded and said with a serious expression, "We must leave Shenlong City immediately, otherwise things will change if we wait too long!"

"That's how it is. Why did you beat up that innocent person just now?" Zhao Lin was pretty but cold, and Zhao Bao became more and more cold-blooded and cruel, which made Zhao Lin very worried.

"Those two guys laughed at me because I am a village man from the mountains. It would be unjust for me not to beat them up." Zhao Bao shook his head and said unhappily.

"People are just laughing at you, why do you want to hit them?" Zhao Lin raised her voice in vain.

"How can I lure the waiter out of the shop if I don't beat up these two guys who look down on others?" Zhao Bao said coldly, "How many people can't be tempted by ten thousand taels of gold?"

When Zhao Lin heard what Zhao Bao said, her words to persuade Zhao Bao were stuck in her mouth. She glanced at Liu Yuyan, who was wrapped in tiger skin with only her nose exposed, and said in fear, "The waiter in the shop brought Yang Chun noodles in."

I saw Yu Yan's appearance... After those masked men killed someone, they dared to so blatantly offer a reward to find Yu Yan's whereabouts?"

"I still don't know who is looking for Liu Yuyan, but I will only take Liu Yuyan to Ziwei Pavilion and hand it over to Liu Zhiying!" Zhao Bao said forcefully.

"Brother Zhao Bao, my mother said that Shenlong City is her home, and we are here to seek refuge with our relatives. Maybe my mother's family is looking for Yuyan..." Liu Yuyan whispered under the tiger skin.

"Liu Yuyan, I promise your mother to hand you over to Liu Zhiying of Ziwei Pavilion. No matter what relationship you have with anyone else, I will never hand you over!" Zhao Bao said coldly when he heard Liu Yuyan's words.

"Liu Zhiying is Yuyan's brother..." Liu Yuyan said a little aggrievedly

Zhao Lin was puzzled when she heard Zhao Bao's words and said, "Xiaobao, if it is really Yuyan's relatives who are looking for her, we can ask them for help. This way, even if those masked men catch up, we will have more helpers."

"These masked men know that Liu Yuyan's relatives are in Shenlong City, and they dare to rob and kill them outside. How much do you think Liu Yuyan's relatives in Shenlong City can help us?" After Zhao Bao said this in a cold voice,

He walked quickly towards the exit of the city.

Zhao Lin hugged Liu Yuyan and followed quickly. After Zhao Bao and Zhao Lin left the Crescent Inn with two sticks of incense, the inn boy brought a middle-aged man wearing a police officer's uniform. This strong man was in charge of Crescent Inn.

Agent Qin from the inn street, after he stepped into the inn, he shouted loudly, "Where are the gangsters?"

"Captain Qin, you are a step late. The gangster has already left the shop and is missing." The shopkeeper sighed. In fact, the shopkeeper was very happy. He did not want a war between officials and gangsters to take place in his inn.

Losses incurred after chasing down robbers are never compensated.

Agent Qin looked at the two gentlemen who were unconscious, with their teeth and blood mixed on the ground, and said in a routine, "Describe the appearance of the gangster, so that I can go after him."

"Xiao Niu, tell Agent Qin what the gangster looks like." The shopkeeper said to the waiter.

"Yes, shopkeeper." After the waiter nodded respectfully to the shopkeeper, he was about to turn his head to describe Zhao Bao's appearance to Detective Qin. When he turned around, he accidentally saw the portrait posted by the shopkeeper on the counter.

, the waiter couldn't help but blurted out, "Who is the shopkeeper looking for this little girl? I saw her just now..."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper said casually, "The people from Shenlong Inn are looking for her..." When the shopkeeper said this, he suddenly raised his head and stared at the waiter and said, "Xiao Niu, what did you say? Did you see this little girl just now? What were you doing?

Where did you see her?"

"This little girl is in our inn. She lives in the same room as the person who injured the two guests." The waiter answered truthfully and then asked doubtfully, "Housekeeper, isn't Shenlong Inn owned by the Hu family? They are looking for this little girl.

do what?"

"Oh! Maverick, we missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune!" The shopkeeper couldn't help but beat his chest and feet after hearing this and said, "This little girl, the people at the Shenlong Inn offered a reward of 10,000 taels of gold for clues. This little girl was originally in our inn.

We could have received this reward of ten thousand taels of gold..."

When the waiter heard this, he was stunned and said, "Ten thousand taels of gold...who is this little girl? Is she worth so much money..."

"Let's go to Shenlong Inn right away!" Detective Qin quickly grabbed the waiter's arm and pulled him outward.

The thin waiter was dragged forward by Captain Qin. The waiter panicked and said, "Captain Qin, what do you want me to do at the Shenlong Inn..."

"Boy, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? What the Hu family wants is clues. Let's go and tell them the clues now. Can we still get away with the reward of ten thousand taels of gold?" Agent Qin raised the waiter in front of him and said in a low voice.

When the waiter heard this, he looked at Captain Qin blankly. While the waiter was in a daze, Captain Qin directly picked it up and carried it on his shoulders and ran towards the Shenlong Inn.

"Yes, the people at the Shenlong Inn just want clues about this little girl. We are all insiders, and we can all go and collect the rewards..." A diner in the Crescent Inn woke up and ran out with an exaggerated shout.

.

"I also know that savage boy just now, and I want to go to the Shenlong Inn to collect the reward..."

Who can resist being tempted by ten thousand taels of gold? All the diners at the Crescent Inn ran away in the blink of an eye. The old shopkeeper saw that there was nothing left except two unconscious hapless ghosts. After a moment of daze, his expression changed drastically.

He growled, "Damn it, you haven't paid for your meal yet..."
