Chapter 70
Xing Po smiled silently, he has never married a wife for most of his life, and he has never even had a relationship. His greatest pursuit is to cultivate himself.
He has always believed in the rumored existence of the Wood Pivot Realm, so he spent a lot of time looking for the spirit veins.
"You son of a bitch, it's true." Xing Po straightened his clothes, and put the hood on his head, "Nan Qing and Wen Jin are going back to the palace soon, there's nothing else to do, I'm leaving."
For some reason, Yu Lie always felt that his adoptive father was in a low mood when he talked about Nan Qing and the two of them. He grabbed Xing Po, "Wait, did you gain anything when you went back to Zhiyi? Did you break through to the Mushu Realm?"
Xing Po was silent for a while, and said: "It can be regarded as a little harvest, let's talk about it later."
After speaking, he flashed away and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Yu Lie was still on the spot recalling the strangeness of Xing Po just now, while Jing Zhao let out a long breath beside him, "I was scared to death."
There are many people in this world who don't accept or even dislike the relationship between a man and a man, let alone a person like Xing Po, whose whole body gives people a sense of oppression, as if he will be killed by his sword at any time.Jing Zhao was afraid that Xing Po would be unhappy, so he killed him directly.
Yu Lie looked back at Jing Zhao, the little guy was frightened by his adoptive father again, he hugged Jing Zhao gently, and comforted him: "Although the foster father has a cold face and a bad heart, he is not a conservative person, let alone understands people. The worldly etiquette mentioned. So he will not object to these, don't worry, you can treat him just like you treat your master in the future."
Jing Zhao nodded in Yu Lie's arms, and at some point the sound of the gun salute stopped, and the surroundings returned to silence.
To the south of the territory of the Ye Dynasty, the wind returned to the city.The largest gambling house in the city, Fugui Casino, has not lost its customer flow at all because of Qixi Festival. How can people who are greedy for gambling care about the love of their children.
It's summer, Fenghuicheng is not so stuffy because of its superior geographical environment, and it's as cool as autumn at night.
Liao Zibin was lying alone on the roof of the casino, with his legs crossed and his eyes slightly squinted.Above his head was the vast starry sky. When he stared at the sky, his eyes would unconsciously follow a black cloud.
Then there is no more then.
Repeatedly.
Liao Zibin sat up, took a sip of the shochu beside him, then closed one eye and pointed at the stars with his fingers, as if he wanted to outline something.
He drank a few more sips of wine and murmured in a low voice: "Big fool, I seem to miss you a little bit."
"I miss you..." He repeated unconvinced.
"I miss you!" Liao Zibin yelled, and at the same time slammed the wine bottle in his hand out.
After venting, he lowered his head and looked in the direction where the wine bottle fell. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a heavily armed army walking towards him not far away, only two blocks away from where he was.
Liao Zibin quickly turned back to the attic room, rushed all the way down the second floor, ran along the corridor to the deepest point, opened the door, and panted, "The shopkeeper! There are officers and soldiers! No, it looks like an army!"
The shopkeeper of this shop is actually the Eighth Elder who broke the wind, and the Eighth Elder stood up suddenly, "Army? See clearly?"
"Ok!"
"Not good," the eighth elder walked back and forth in the room, took out a few booklets and stuffed them close to his clothes. In his haste, he turned his head and glanced at Liao Zibin, and threw a money bag over, "I have to leave first, you can figure it out. Don't come back here for the time being, if there is no danger this time, I will open as usual, and you will come again when the time comes."
Liao Zibin replied in a daze, watching the Eighth Elder hurried out of the room again, raised his hand and rang the bell hanging high as he passed the corridor, and then jumped out of the window at the end of the corridor like a cloud and flowing water.
Liao Zibin knew that window, no matter it was windy, rainy or dark, the shopkeeper wouldn't let it open on weekdays.
Liao Zibin was a little unresponsive. In his perception, the shopkeeper was a defenseless ordinary person, but right now he was quick and quick, even jumping from a second-story window.
Besides, he is not afraid of officers and soldiers when they come, and he will be fine after patting his beard and walking around. Although this time it is the army, there is no need to run away in such a panic.
What made him even more astonished was that not long after the shopkeeper rang the bell, the three of them opened the door almost at the same time and leaned out to check the situation, and then they closed the door with a slam, which made Liao Zibin startled. Subconsciously turned around and hid behind the beams and pillars.
At the moment when he was in a daze, the soldiers rushed in, and the people below were astonished and let out a burst of exclamation.
He happened to be able to see the main entrance on the first floor, and Liao Zibin glanced down quietly. Just this one glance, as if he had been poisoned, his feet were sucked in place and unable to move.
Fan Shiyi!
Why is he here?
I saw Fan Shiyi wearing an official uniform and holding a saber in his hand, looking very majestic.He made a few gestures and told the soldiers to seal off the casino and control the crowd.
Afterwards, Fan Shiyi seemed to feel something, and quickly raised his eyes to look up.
He met Liao Zibin's eyes.
"Don't move!" Fan Shiyi raised the volume to drown out everyone's yelling, his eyes were still fixed on Liao Zibin, and he ran upstairs as soon as he moved his feet.
Liao Zibin panicked. Originally, he was a little afraid of this uninvited army tonight, but now he is completely nervous.I just felt that the alcohol was a little bit high, the blood supply was insufficient, and I started to feel dizzy.
"Why did you come to the gambling house? There is no distinction between right and wrong here, are you not hurt? Did you lose hard?" Fan Shiyi quickly came to his side and grabbed Liao Zibin's shoulders, "I'm sorry, I have been in trouble for the past few months. I haven't come back to look for you, so I really can't get away. You... are you here because you're bored?"
Why does he trust me so much and is afraid that I will lose...
Liao Zibin sighed slightly: "I'm sorry for you. I lied before, but in fact, I'm here as a buddy..." Speaking of this, he looked away from Fan Shiyi's gaze, and drifted away with a guilty conscience.
Fan Shiyi was stunned, and suddenly became a little angry.But in full view, as a general now, I can't talk too much to Liao Zibin in public.
The stalemate between the two was quickly broken.
"General! Found a corpse!"
"The general also has it here!"
"Here... also." When the last person said it, everyone was no longer surprised.
Fan Shiyi pursed his lips. Although he was a little angry and distressed, he still had business to do right now: "Go and wait for me, don't run away."
Liao Zibin nodded, retreated to one corner and sat down, quietly watching Fan Shiyi rush to the three rooms where the deceased was found.
His gaze followed Fan Shiyi, and after a while, Liao Zibin frowned, this movement seemed familiar...
Liao Zibin stood up suddenly. These three rooms were the ones where the shopkeeper rang the bell and opened the door to check the situation!
There must be a clue, Liao Zibin sat back anxiously, what is going on?
Fan Shiyi stepped out to preside over the overall situation: "What's going on? Where's the murderer?"
"It should have jumped out of the window and ran away." The soldier next to him pointed to the window and said helplessly.
Fan Shiyi thought that now that he had run away and disappeared, it would be impossible to chase him.But it also confirmed the previous guesses of myself and Yang Pei. Sure enough, this rich and noble gambling house is not easy.
"Search quickly! Don't let go of any clues. Those people downstairs will check carefully, and if there is no problem, let them go and seal this place."
After saying all this, Fan Shiyi squatted next to the dead man again, frowning and looking around, all of them were killed with one knife, it seemed that the murderer didn't want to procrastinate at all.
He thought of something again, "Come here, go and bring the shopkeeper here, and gather everyone who was on the second floor together, don't let them go."
"General, that... the shopkeeper is not here. I asked the guys and they said they didn't know where they went. The guests are all gathered together. You can go and ask questions now."
Fan Shiyi went out and saw that the guys were divided into groups, and the gamblers were divided into groups and stood on the empty tables on both sides of the corridor.Liao Zibin stood silently among the guys, watching him.
Fan Shiyi cleared his throat, "The three rooms where people died, what are they doing inside? Why is there only one customer? Do you have any one-on-one betting methods?"
The gamblers didn't know anything about it, but a clerk came out and said, "Speak to the general! Most of the rooms on the second floor are card rooms, and these smaller rooms are quiet rooms for guests to rest when they are tired."
As the assistant said, usually the rooms on the second floor do not disturb each other, so Liao Zibin was the only one who saw the shopkeeper jump out of the window and escape.The shopkeeper treats him very well on weekdays, he doesn't need to do anything, and the salary is twice that of others.He could think that it was because of Yu Lie, and this was also where he struggled.
Liao Zibin hesitated to speak for several times, but finally held back. He didn't want to put Yulie and the people who had helped him in danger, and felt a little guilty in his heart for covering up people.
Fan Shiyi asked the guy again: "Do you know how many people are in the three rooms?"
"Uh... it seems that there are two of them."
Someone next to him interjected: "Yes, the small ones can also be determined."
Fan Shiyi nodded. In other words, three assassins escaped after the killing at the same time. Maybe they were making a deal before he came here.
He leaned on the railing and shouted, "Is the downstairs finished?"
The people at the bottom shouted up: "General, it's over, nothing is found!"
Fan Shiyi pointed at the gamblers and guys on the second floor, "Hurry up and check them out, then clear the place, and dig three feet inside and out for me to search!"
There were a few gasps from the crowd, and such a big gambling house was sealed.There has been no accident for many years. He is a giant in the industry, so why did he fall down today.
Everyone else went to the first floor, Liao Zibin remained silent, and he didn't react until Fan Shiyi stood in front of him.Fan Shiyi opened his mouth to say something, Liao Zibin quickly took his arm, "Come with me."
The two sat on the roof. Liao Zibin was worried, and Fan Shiyi could see that, so he didn't force him, and waited quietly for him to speak.
Liao Zibin glanced at him, "You've been promoted? This outfit suits you very well, it looks good."
