"Young man, if you want to find out the information, you need to pay ten thousand taels of gold."
Hua Wanchi hissed, this price is really expensive.
But she still has the money.
So, after a moment of surprise, Hua Wanchi quickly regained his composure.
"Shopkeeper, my men will deliver the gold you requested to your store right away."
After waiting for about five minutes, a whistle sounded outside. The shopkeeper nodded and said with a smile:
"Young man, be brave."
Then, he sat down in front of a desk and started writing something. Hua Wanchi found a chair and sat down, waiting patiently.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the shopkeeper slowly put pen to paper. When the ink on the paper had dried, he stacked all the papers together and placed a small stack in front of Hua Wanchi.
The shopkeeper said in a steady voice, "Young man, all the information you want is here."
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
Hua Wanchi nodded and walked out with the paper.
The business of the pharmacy seems to be quite quiet. There has been no business for such a long time. However, based on the price of this information, Hua Wanchi estimated that the Spider Silk Pavilion is the type that will not open for half a year and can make a profit for a year after opening.
Hua Wanchi returned to the tavern, went upstairs, opened the stack of papers and started reading.
The owner of the Bamian Teahouse is a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan. This wealthy businessman has a close relationship with Qingyi. He founded this teahouse in order to plant spies among all forces and convey information.
As for the purpose, it is very simple. Qingyi wants to become the number one force in the world.
The waiters working in the teahouse are all disciples of Qingyi, and the managers of each branch are children adopted by wealthy businessmen.
Most of the children adopted by the wealthy businessman came from a village that was destroyed many years ago. All the adults died, leaving only a bunch of orphans to be adopted by the wealthy businessman.
Hua Wanchi seemed to be lost in thought. Since they were born in the same village, it was not surprising that there were sisters or even twins among them.
According to this idea, the Spider Silk Pavilion might also set up branches according to the power. This small town has both the Spider Silk Pavilion and the Eight-sided Teahouse, and no one knows how many eyes are watching in secret. It seems that the Mingyuan Pavilion is indeed very dangerous.
Hua Wanchi rubbed his hands. This looked very interesting.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the tavern.
Hua Wanchi heard the sound and hurried downstairs, only to find a drunkard lying on the ground with his hands covering his neck and his eyes wide open, foaming at the mouth, his lips blue and purple, and strange red streaks on his face.
She asked the wine lady next to her, "What's going on?"
The wine girl was a little terrified, her tone filled with fear: "Boss, this person was drinking just now, and suddenly he covered his neck and fell down. He was dead in a few seconds..."
The people who were traveling with him glared and shouted, "The wine is poisonous! It must be poisonous! I know it, you, this black liquor store, must be trying to poison us all!"
When this statement was made, everyone present turned pale, put down their wine bowls, and many of them stood up.
"Boss! He died of poisoning from drinking your wine! You didn't poison all of us, did you?"
Hua Wanchi narrowed her eyes. Her tavern was inconspicuous, yet someone was trying to harm her?
"Don't be anxious, everyone. The poison is acting so swiftly. The fact that you're still here to question me doesn't just mean you're all right, doesn't it?"
Suddenly, someone threw down his wine bowl and shouted, "Please call a doctor! Who knows if you've been given a chronic poison? It won't show up in the first two doses, but it will definitely leave a toxic buildup in your body. Over time, it will take effect!"
Hua Wanchi: "Go get a doctor."
There are only a few doctors in the town, and everyone knows them. The doctors have been rooted in the town for many years before Hua Wanchi came here.
No one would suspect that Hua Wanchi and the doctor were in collusion to deceive people.
Soon, the wine lady brought several doctors from the town, and the doctors took the pulse and examined the health of each guest present.
The doctor then shook his head and said, "Not only is there no poison in your bodies, but on the contrary, your Qi and blood are vigorous and you are very healthy!"
This wine is brewed with ingredients from the space. The ingredients grown in the space are rich in nutrients, and some of the ingredients have special effects, so the brewed wine is naturally beneficial to the human body.
But of course, drinking alcohol is not recommended.
Alcohol is alcohol after all, and drinking too much will still harm your body.
Everyone was relieved, and then pointed at the man lying on the ground and asked, "Doctor Fang, can you take a look at him and see what's going on?"
The doctor was no longer surprised to see someone lying on the ground. After all, there were many people from the underworld gathered in this small town, and he had seen all kinds of deaths.
He calmly stepped forward to feel the pulse, then mused, "This poison seems to have come from a ghost..."
Everyone understood instantly, and a few complaints were heard amid the noise.
"Ghost Shadow is becoming increasingly reckless in his actions. He kills people in a tavern, not even worried about scaring others."
"The Ghost Shadow's men are unpredictable. They even kill people who poop, let alone those who drink. I was so scared that I almost thought the bartender poisoned me. Damn it—"
"Who has offended the ghost again?"
"It might not be that he offended the ghost, maybe someone is offering a reward!"
"Whose family is this dead man? Hurry up and call someone to help collect his body! Don't delay us from drinking!"
…
After this misunderstanding, everyone continued to drink and chat, as if someone's death was a common occurrence.
The dead man was taken away by his friends, who seemed to be very sorry for the situation, and dragged him out for burial out of the moral code of the underworld.
A few days later, news came out that someone was suddenly poisoned to death in the Bamian Teahouse. For a while, everyone started cursing.
"The ghost is getting more and more outrageous! He has no respect for etiquette and attacks people while they are having tea, making it impossible for others to enjoy their tea in peace!"
"Damn it! Next time I see a ghost, I'm going to beat him up!"
"Brother, don't be like this! I'm a ghost, I'm a victim too!"
"I want to beat the crap out of you!"
"Brother, let's talk!"
…
Hua Wanchi sighed again.
This world is indeed very complicated.
In just a few days, the ghost killed several people.
Many people were talking in the pub.
"The man who died in the tavern a few days ago seemed to be the nephew of the Qingyi Sect's leader. Although Qingyi and Guiying have a long-standing grudge, they have lived in peace for many years. Why did they suddenly attack the other side this time?"
"That's right. This time, they were really unethical. It would have been fine if they had attacked in a crowd, but they chose to do it in a shop. Not only did it affect people's drinking, it also affected the business of the owner... There's even suspicion of framing the shop owner!"
"Humph, there are so many right and wrong in the martial arts world. Ghost Shadow and Qing Yi don't just have each other as enemies. Who knows if someone is framing Ghost Shadow and using him as a scapegoat?"
"That makes sense, bro!"
"Alas, this world is becoming increasingly chaotic!"
