Beiyin Great Sage

  Chapter 57 Revenge

   Early morning.

  The breeze blows the wind chimes, and the crisp sound lingers around your ears.

   Zhou Jia was lying on the hardwood bed in his clothes, with an ax and shield by his side. His eyes were already open, but he didn't intend to get up.

  He is used to letting go of his mind at this time, and he is also happy to enjoy the tranquility brought by the inner city.

   Until a smell of meat comes.

   "Brother Zhou."

   A thin voice sounded:

   "You haven't eaten yet, have you? My sister asked me to bring you a bowl of broth."

  Zhou Jia got up, and looked at the girl named Jiao Yuanfeng standing at the end of the bed holding a bowl.

  The other party should be in high school at this age on Earth, and is distressed about how to vent his youthful passion, but here he has learned to adapt to the environment.

  Exchange your own weakness for sympathy from others, although sometimes it may not be easy to use.

"Need not."

   Shaking his head, Zhou Jia looked at the figure outside the house:

   "I'll just go and buy it myself."

   "It's okay." Jiao Yuanyi walked in and said with a smile:

   "I don't know how long I will trouble Big Brother Zhou. A bowl of broth is nothing, but we will leave as soon as possible."

   "Yes, yes." Jiao Yuanfeng nodded again and again:

   "We have many friends in the Barony. They may have also arrived in Huojiabao. Once we find them, we will leave."

   Said, with a pair of big eyes full of innocence:

   "They are very powerful, and there are also seventh-rank masters."

   "Really?" Zhou Jia seemed to have not heard the warning hidden in the other party's words, nodded and took the broth:

   "Thank you very much."

  The broth is delicious, and the meat is very solid. Unfortunately, this kind of meat can't increase the source power, so the price will naturally not be expensive.

  After finishing the soup, he was about to return the bowl when there was a commotion from outside.

   "Come out!"

   "The new arrivals yesterday, all come out!"

   "Clatter..."

"What happened?"

   Several people walked out of the tree house and came to the square of Qingfengju, where they saw a group of people from the Huo Mansion patrol team checking the identities of the residents one by one.

   "Zhou Jia?"

"right."

   "You three, go over."

  The three of them were pushed into a small group of people. Although they didn't know what happened, they all had panic on their faces.

   "My lord." Zhou Jia approached a man who looked like the leader of the patrol team, and quietly handed over an Origin Stone:

   "What is this doing?"

   "Well..." The other party skillfully took the origin stone, glanced at him, and said lightly:

   "Yesterday, the shopkeeper's son was killed, and there were two residents in the inner city. All of you are suspected and need to be investigated."

   "No way." In the crowd, one person voiced annoyance:

   "Yesterday we were all in the inn, and we didn't go anywhere!"

   "Yes, yes, my lord, this matter has nothing to do with us!"

   "..."

   "Shut up!" The patrol leader's face sank, and he shouted loudly:

   "Does it matter, what you say counts?"

   "Brother Ren!" The shopkeeper also came over at this time, his complexion was scorched yellow, his eyes were bloodshot, and a few strands of white hair were added to his head.

  He glared at everyone angrily, gritted his teeth and said:

   "This group of people had conflicts with the child yesterday, the murderer... must be among them!"

   "Old Xue, cheer up." Leader Ren frowned, lowered his voice and said:

   "Dong Cheng and the others, one of the sixth rank and two of the fifth rank, had no power to resist when they were killed, and nine out of ten of them were of the seventh rank."

   "People here..."

   "It is unlikely to be the murderer."

  Seventh-rank masters are high-level figures everywhere. It is impossible to stay in an inn at this time, and they are also arguing with others because of Jiasai.

   "How is it impossible!" Shopkeeper Xue opened his eyes wide and pointed at Zhou Jia:

   "If one person can't do it, two people will have no problem."

   "This man uses an axe, my son died under a heavy weapon, and the man uses a sword, wouldn't it be the two of them doing it together?"

   Zhou Jia's eyes changed slightly.

  Another person cried out loudly:

   "Shopkeeper, I was at your inn the whole time yesterday, and I don't know this brother at all, how could we join forces to kill people."

   "Old Xue." Leader Ren held shopkeeper Xue's shoulder, shook his head and said:

   "I know Dong Sung's death hit you hard, but..."

   "Now is not the time to let you and me mess around. I only came here to save face, and just grab the Pen Origin Stone."

   "Brother Ren." Shopkeeper Xue said urgently:

"you do not believe me?"

   "Do you think I should believe it or not?" Seeing that his old friend was obsessed with obsession, Chief Ren began to look displeased, pointing at the crowd casually:

"you!"

   "What were you doing yesterday when the three days were about to fall?"

  The person he was referring to happened to be Zhou Jia.

   "I..." Zhou Jia was taken aback, and said:

   "I went out for a meal."

   "Eat?" Leader Ren frowned:

   "Who can testify?"

"This…"

   "I, we can testify." Among the crowd, Jiao Yuanyi pulled his sister and whispered:

   "We had dinner with Brother Zhou yesterday."

Um?

   Zhou Jia's eyes showed surprise, and he subconsciously looked at the other party.

  Jiao Yuanyi smiled back, since it was inevitable that they would live together in the future, she didn't mind showing her kindness to the other party.

   As for the fact that the other party is really a murderer, she really hasn't thought about it.

   After all, Zhou Jia’s performance in front of Xiao Er yesterday was far from being brave. How could such a person kill several people?

  In order to strengthen her persuasion, she even said:

   "We just came yesterday, there is no need to speak for him."

   "Hmm." Leader Ren just asked casually, without any doubt, and pointed to another person:

   "What were you doing yesterday?"

   "I went to South Street Flower House with some friends..."

"you!"

   "I, I'm resting in the house."

   "That means no one can testify, come out!"

   Not long after, except for a few unlucky tenants who did not testify, the others were separated by the patrol team, and the leader waved his hand:

   "Take away those who have problems, and go back and interrogate them slowly."

   Then he looked at Shopkeeper Xue:

   "Old Xue, is this enough to give you face?"

   Shopkeeper Xue looked gloomy and didn't say a word.

  It wasn't until the patrol team pressed the people away that the residents in the inn began to disperse one after another, and some of them inevitably complained.

  As for the people who were taken away, their lives are probably all right, but bleeding from the Origin Stone will definitely be unavoidable.

  Huojiabao patrols the yamen, but he is a famous gold-swallowing beast.

  ...

   "Master."

   Xue's family.

  The charming second lady brought a cup of hot tea, and placed it carefully beside the shopkeeper Xue with red eyes and messy hair:

   "Dong Cheng has already gone, you should also pay attention to your body. If Dong Cheng knows that you are torturing yourself like this, he will definitely feel uncomfortable."

   "Take a rest."

   "Slap!"

   Shopkeeper Xue waved his hand, and the dish smashed to the ground, shouting:

"What do you know?"

   "I only have such a son, and Dong Cheng was murdered, and the murderer was not found. How can you let me rest in peace?"

"what!"

   Furious, he pushed down the second wife and came to the backyard alone.

  The sky is getting darker and darker.

  Under the light, shopkeeper Xue’s eyes were ferocious, he suddenly took out a set of night clothes from the room, took out the Yuntou knife, opened the door and went out.

  He was sure that the murderer was in the inn.

  In the past few days, when Dong Cheng and the others were planning to make a fortune, they happened to be killed, or were the three of them together. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?

  Since Ren is unwilling to help, then I will do it myself!

  Avoiding the people in the courtyard, shopkeeper Xue quietly climbed over the courtyard wall, and as soon as he landed, he met a person who was also dressed in black.

  The man held an ax in one hand and a shield in the other, and it seemed that he wanted to touch his own house.

  The two looked at each other, and they were all taken aback.
