Daming King of Punishment

Page 814

At this moment, a person next to the chief servant whispered: "Brother, I think these two people are about the same age as the above, and their outfits are not much different. Maybe they are what we are looking for."

"Oh?" The leader was startled for a moment, his brows furrowed even tighter.After taking a closer look, he shouted, "Take these four down!"

As soon as these words came out, like an order, the rest of the servants behind him immediately rushed up, and were about to arrest the four of them.

"Brother Wang, they arrest people as they say!" Seeing the change in the situation, Bai Zhuo yelled out in a panic.

This shout immediately startled those people, and the leader who gave the order suddenly raised his hand: "Wait!"

Everyone in the Chu family stopped, and after the man glanced back and forth between Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, his eyes fell on Bai Zhuo: "What did you call him just now?"

"Brother Wang..." Bai Zhuo hesitated and said.

The leader asked suspiciously, "Aren't you two surnamed Song and Bai?"

"Brother, this surname was given by his parents. He has always been surnamed Wang and I have always been surnamed Zhang." Bai Zhuo looked very pitiful with a bitter face.

Now the leader was a little surprised, his eyes turned back and fell on Song Wuya again: "By the way, you just said that you are in the timber business. You haven't said what kind of timber it is!"

"This... I'm afraid it's not easy to say." Seeing that there was room for relaxation, Song Wuya secretly heaved a sigh of relief. After calming down, he pretended to hesitate and said.

"Could it be that there are ghosts in your heart? Why are you hesitating?" The leader snorted coldly.

Bai Zhuo watched from the side, and the tacit understanding between Song Wuya and Song Wuya was vividly displayed at this time: "Brother Wang, there is nothing wrong with this. Isn't their Chu family also doing our business? Isn't it just Nanmu?" Is it? They won’t be surprised to tell the truth. Aren’t the few we made friends at the birthday banquet today also make nanmu?”

"Nanmu!" The leader was slightly surprised when he heard this, but soon a smile appeared on his face. "I really didn't realize that the two young masters are of the same kind. It seems that we misunderstood before. Please bear with me if I offend you."

Listening to the leader's tone, Song Wuya and the others knew very well that it seemed that they had passed this level.

In the hearts of the two of them, it was considered that the stone that was pressing on their hearts was completely let go.

Ding Mumu of the Chu family politely apologized to the two of them, turned around and was about to leave immediately.But the leader felt that they had nothing to doubt, but the people around him still had doubts about the two of them.

"Brother, after we searched around, I feel that the two of them are the closest to each other in terms of dressing and temperament at this age, or else..."

The person next to him reminded him, but the leader didn't take it seriously: "Didn't you hear what they said just now? They are in the nanmu business. If it's really those two people, how could they know the business that our Chu family is doing behind the scenes? Let's go, Go to another house and look for it again. This Huai'an mansion has become an iron barrel, and they will not escape if they have wings. Even if they are, they will look for it later."

The boss had his own considerations, and after responding, he immediately led these people out of the inn.

The servant of the Chu family left, but the others in the inn were blown up.Those shopkeepers of the Chu family had already heard some rumors, and now they saw such movements of the Chu family, how could they not be curious, and gathered together again to discuss the movement of the Chu family.

"Huh!" Bai Zhuo let out a long breath after the members of the Chu family left for a long time. "Brother Wu Ya, it was really too dangerous just now! If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I'm afraid they would rush us up and arrest us."

"Don't worry, they don't have the ability. I've already thought of a countermeasure." Song Wuya smiled slightly, and praised Bai Zhuo by the way. "But Brother Bai, your reaction just now was indeed fast and alert enough."

Hearing this, Bai Zhuo felt comfortable, and after he laughed, he said seriously, "Brother Wu Ya, the people of the Chu family probably remember us. If we leave like this, wouldn't that make them even more suspicious?"

"It doesn't matter. It's the same whether we leave now or not. If they really want to suspect us, they will be able to block us in the inn. If they don't suspect us, then we may not cause anything if we leave the inn Yes." Although what Bai Zhuo said made sense, Song Wuya didn't think it would be safe to stay in the inn under such circumstances.

"Wu Ya, Bai Zhuo is afraid that our departure will turn their original suspicion of us into affirmation. By then we will be familiar faces in their eyes, and it is not easy to hide anywhere in Huai'an Mansion. It's easy." Situ Wen seemed to agree with Bai Zhuo's idea, thinking that after leaving this inn, they might be directly identified by the Chu family.

To be honest, it's not that Song Wuya didn't think about this point, but after weighing it, he thinks it's better to proceed according to the previous idea.After all, two places of residence have already been found, even if the money is in vain, Song Wuya doesn't feel distressed.But he still felt that it would be more reliable to choose the inn he had chosen before.

"I've also considered your considerations." Song Wuya thought for a while and decided to convince them first. "You don't want to be so lucky. It will be a matter of time before we are exposed. If we don't leave here, it will be easy for them to find us again. Moreover, those Chu family members say that, but it may not be true. Don't worry about us. Transfer now, regardless of other things, at least it will buy us a lot of time."

His words naturally made sense, and his words made Bai Zhuo and Situ Wen think again.

After a few people weighed it together, they finally agreed with Song Wuya's approach.

The Chu family's birthday banquet has ended, and now there are naturally many people who want to leave Huai'an mansion one after another, and Song Wuya and the others naturally have a reason for choosing to leave Huai'an mansion at this time.

"How many guest officers are going to check out so soon?"

When Song Wuya and the others went to check out, the shopkeeper looked surprised and regretful.

After all, they are here, and the inn has some income.Now that the Chu family's birthday banquet is over, and with the plague outside the city, I'm afraid there won't be any business in his inn for a while, so he naturally doesn't want Song Wuya and others to leave like this.

"Yes!" Song Wuya nodded and said, "I heard that there was a plague outside the city. We don't dare to stay any longer at this time. If we get into a plague, it will be troublesome. So we want to get rid of it as soon as possible." Leaving Huai'an, not to mention we still have business matters to do, so we have to hurry back to Shanxi!"

"I see." The shopkeeper nodded, without saying anything, and went through the check-out procedures for Song Wuya and the others.

After all, to him, Song Wuya and the others were just guests, but they had nothing to do with him, so he naturally had no reason to keep them.

?9Chapter 16 Frontier Transactions

After leaving the room, Song Wuya and the others went directly to the inn they had booked with their things.It is still quiet here. After investigation by the Chu family, some people also checked out here, but they are really the only ones who check in like this.

"The room here is not bad, but compared with the previous inn, I still checked a little bit." When he came to the room, Song Wuya didn't forget to look at the room and comment on it.

This inn is located in the north of the city, not far from the Chu family.This place is naturally not as good as the inn at the gate of the city, and it is somewhat smaller.

"Come on!" Hearing what he said, Situ Wen said angrily: "You never commented on staying in a hotel, even in the wilderness, you didn't say anything, but you said that today, maybe just now The reason you persuaded us is made up, right?"

Unexpectedly, Song Wuya said such a sentence casually, which made Situ Wen doubt what he just said.

This made Song Wuya feel very embarrassed, but what he said just now was really from the heart, not casually.

Bai Zhuo was very curious after hearing Situ Wen's words: "Brother Wu Ya, when did you spend the night in the wilderness? Why don't I remember?"

He was rather curious about it.But speaking of it, among Bai Zhuo's peers, it is indeed rare to have such an experience.After all, their itineraries are very appropriate, and they can almost find a place to stay.

"When else? Naturally, it's time to go to Yingzhou. The land there is sparsely populated, and it's not uncommon for you to walk for two or three days without seeing a single village." Song Wuya didn't even think about it. After thinking about it, he replied, after all, he would never forget that experience.

Speaking of going to Yingzhou, Bai Zhuo also went to Jizhou, that place is also a border, and the people were displaced by the war, so it should be a place with few people.

"Speaking of Yingzhou, several months have passed." Hearing these words, Bai Zhuo felt emotional. "Since Jizhou came back..."

While talking, Bai Zhuo couldn't help looking at Xiaohuan.Listening to his words, Xiaohuan naturally recalled that period of time, the two looked at each other, and their cheeks blushed for a moment.

Seeing the two of them like this, Song Wuya also missed the days when he was alone with Situ Wen.

"That's right! At that time, the Wuliang Sect was very noisy, unlike now that there is no movement at all." Song Wuya also said with emotion.

His words helped Bai Zhuo and Xiaohuan out of the siege, making them less embarrassed.

Bai Zhuo also followed his words and said, "That's right! Didn't you also hear that Liu Wensheng talked about Wuliangjiao at the Chu family's birthday banquet before? Guanshan Restaurant actually gave up a lot of benefits to Wuliangjiao And territory, in exchange for the temporary peace of Wuliangjiao. Their purpose is for the current matter, after getting a lot of money, what do they want to do? Listening to Liu Wensheng's tone, it seems to be a This is a huge matter. It seems that we must find a way to catch this Liu Wensheng and ask him what Guanshan Restaurant is plotting."

"It's a big deal?" Song Wuya pondered for a while: "I really can't think of anything else other than seeking power and usurping the throne."

"Brother Wu Ya, I don't think things are that simple. Maybe they have other intentions. After all, the people behind Guanshan Restaurant have power in their hands. It's easy for them to conspire to rebel. I think their real purpose That's not the case." Bai Zhuo didn't feel that Guanshan Restaurant wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, after all, this matter was too simple for them, and there was no need for them to make things so complicated.

If you want to say this, it is indeed very reasonable. Guanshan Restaurant holds a lot of power, and also has a lot of wealth.But they did not use their power to plot rebellion, but only used their power to amass money.No matter how you look at it, this seems to be a bit overkill. After all, if you take bribes, the money will come faster.

The Chu family was secretly involved in some prohibited business, which Song Wuya and the others had just learned.The Chu family gained power again because of Guanshan Restaurant, which is enough to show that Guanshan Restaurant is doing these businesses behind the scenes.It is easy for them to obtain these resources with the rights in their hands, but there are not many people who have the strength to own these things in this world.

"By the way!" After these thoughts flashed through Song Wuya's mind, he suddenly exclaimed: "Brother Bai, this Chu family is doing some prohibited things behind the scenes. The people we met before were all gold wires. Those who are in the nanmu business mainly make gloomy wood. Most of the wood is used for burials. From this point of view, they sold the wood to rich and powerful people."
