Chapter 110: Last Night, the Contest at the Peak(2/3)
"Then let's go shopping for lanterns."
Just like that, Xue Mu and the others went out.
Walking on the road, Xu Ruyan and Leng Mei were standing on both sides of Xue Mu.
Walking all the way there, I was envious of others.
You know, Xu Ruyan has the temperament of a lady of great wealth.
The look of that little cherry mouth is very endearing.
Leng Mei has a charming and charming look.
Every move he makes makes others unable to help but take a second look.
"This blind man is so lucky!"
"Yes, there are two women next to me. They are both so beautiful!"
"Why the fuck?"
They were all envious, jealous and hating.
There was even a rough man who wanted to ask Xu Ruyan secretly: "Girl, what's the benefit of following a blind man? My family is a rice seller, so if you follow me, I will give you twenty taels of silver a month."
When Xu Ruyan heard this, she quickly took two steps back and hid behind Xue Mu.
After listening to his words, Xue Mu was about to take out the badge of the Divine Catcher in his hand, and planned to take him back for a thorough interrogation.
As a result, the rough man was severely beaten.
"Your uncle's! How dare you touch Master Xue's woman?!"
"Brothers, what should we do if he bullies our military advisor?"
"kill him!"
After a while, the rough guy was caught in the alley by several gangsters and beaten up.
Xue Mu heard the voice and smiled: "Palace Master Chen, why are you here?"
"Today's Lantern Festival, I took my brothers for a walk, but I didn't expect to run into Mr. Xue. Sir, don't worry, I've already taught that bastard a lesson, so I won't dirty your hands." Chen Tai hehe
smiling.
Xue Mu said calmly: "Just teach him a lesson and don't kill anyone."
"Of course, we have always valued peace, and we just want to teach you a lesson." Chen Tai turned around and whispered to one of the brothers: "Master Xue said, kill him, but don't kill him."
Xue Mu didn't say much, and continued walking forward with Xu Ruyan and Leng Mei.
When Chen Tai saw it, he quickly followed him: "Sir, how about we go together? I can also protect your safety, haha."
"Hall Master Chen, do you want to tell me something?" Xue Mu knew that this guy would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything.
"Haha, Mr. Xue, you are really smart." Chen Tai asked in a low voice: "I just want to ask if there are any opportunities for you to make more money."
"Yes." Xue Mu replied: "But we need the cooperation of your brothers."
"How to cooperate?" Chen Tai asked curiously.
Xue Mu explained: "Currently, North Street does have a wide range of goods and goods, but in terms of the number of people, it is still not as good as those on East Street. The main reason is the lack of flower work."
"Flower work?"
"Well, you let the brothers come up with some new things, such as smashing rocks on the chest, spitting fire from the mouth and other acrobatics. In short, the more gimmicks there are, the more attractive they will be."
Chen Tai seemed to understand Xue Mu's words.
But he still thanked: "I understand, thank you for your guidance."
"By the way, let me ask you something. Do you know that there are three corpses in the Beiqu River on North Street?" Xue Mu asked.
When Chen Tai heard this, his face became embarrassed. He quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know! Sir, I don't know."
"Help, ask the people near Beiquhe to check."
"Sir, what are you doing?"
"He is now a member of the 100th House of the Divine Catcher Division and is responsible for the Beiquhe case." Leng Mei added at this time.
Chen Tai immediately widened his eyes and said happily: "It turns out that you have been promoted! Congratulations!"
"Don't rush to congratulate. If the first case after taking office is not solved, it will be in trouble, so I would like to trouble Hall Master Chen to ask the people on North Street when he has time." Xue Mu reminded.
Chen Tai hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely do as I'm told."
He rolled his eyes: "Since the adults want to go shopping for lanterns, I won't disturb you for now."
"Um."
Not long after, Chen Tai left with a group of younger brothers.
After leaving, Xu Ruyan asked Xue Mu: "This Hall Master Chen"
"Don't worry, he now regards me as Hukou Hall's money cow and respects me very much." Xue Mu said with a smile.
He asked about Leng Mei and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy something to eat? I bought everything I saw that I wanted to eat today."
"You said so!~" Leng Mei glanced at Xu Ruyan and hurriedly pulled her and said: "Ruyan, let's go to the front to buy food. Xiaomu, wait for us here."
"Ah?" Xu Ruyan was about to say something when she was pulled away by Leng Mei.
Xue Mu didn't care. He stood there, listening and feeling the charm of the Lantern Festival with his ears.
At this time, Xiao Qingyue was enjoying the scenery of the Lantern Festival, accompanied by Xiaodie and Laifu.
Xiaodie pointed to the flower work opposite and said happily: "Miss, look over there~"
"Miss, please slow down!" Butler Laifu kept chasing the two women, obviously out of breath.
Xiao Qingyue smiled and said: "Laifu, why don't you go back and Xiaodie and I can go shopping."
"No, the master has told me that I must follow you. I'm afraid something might happen to you." Laifu said conscientiously.
Xiao Qingyue glanced at Xiaodie beside her.
The two masters and servants looked at each other and understood immediately.
They hurriedly walked through the crowd.
When Laifu behind him saw this, he kept shouting: "Miss, please slow down."
Just at this time, Xiao Qingyue passed by where Xue Mu was.
I saw her turn sideways, and then she pulled Xiaodie and continued to move forward.
And Xue Mu heard the sound of the money bag falling.
So he reminded: "Girl, you lost your money."
Xiaodie was the first to react.
She looked back and said hurriedly: "Oh, miss, you have dropped your wallet."
Only then did Xiao Qingyue come back to her senses.
She took the money bag picked up by Xiaodie, looked at Xue Mu beside her and said, "Thank you, sir."
"You're welcome." Xue Mu said calmly.
Xiao Qingyue saw that he seemed invisible, and was a little curious about how he knew that he had lost his money bag.
Is it because I heard a falling sound?
That's awesome.
While I was thinking about it, a voice came from the vendor next to me: "It's coming, it's coming! Guess the cricket!!"
When Xiaodie saw it, she excitedly said: "Miss, let's go see that one?"
"good."
Xiao Qingyue was pulled to the opposite side by Xiaodie, but she still looked back at Xue Mu who was standing beside her.
Judging from the situation, it seems that he is waiting for someone.
But Xiao Qingyue didn't think much about it, being attracted by this cricket guessing thing.
"I have crickets in this box, but I won't tell you how many there are specifically. You can only judge by their cries. Come on, come on, buy it and leave it! One, two, or three?
Got it!"
As the vendors explained the rules, many people started betting on the number of crickets in their minds.
Laifuxing on the side said: "Miss, there must be four of them. The sound is so loud, there must be four of them."
"Miss, I think there are three."
For a moment, Xiao Qingyue was a little confused.
She didn't know which one to bet on.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind: "Don't think about it, one."
To be continued...
