Chapter 44 Troubled Times?

After hearing the words of this figure, Wang Ye turned around and took a look.

The smirk on his face immediately turned into a flattering smile.

The figure was none other than Captain Zhao from the government office.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Wang..."

Captain Zhao walked into Zuixianlou, looked at the bare door, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Have you even taken down the door panels of Zuixianlou?"

"Hi!"

Hearing what Captain Zhao said, Wang Ye walked out from the counter and said, "This door has been exposed to the wind and sun, and it's a bit rotten. I'm going to take it down and replace it with two new ones!"

"On the contrary, it was Captain Zhao..."

After making up an excuse to evade Captain Zhao, Wang Ye changed the subject and said with a smile, "Where have you been on business these past few days?"

"Don't mention it!"

Hearing Wang Ye's question, Captain Zhao found a table and sat down: "These days have been really restless. Yuelai Inn just burned down not long ago, and the owner of Tianshun Pawnshop, Jin Mancang, also died at home..."

"Jin Mancang is dead?"

After hearing what Captain Zhao said, Wang Ye was shocked: "That's impossible? He just took a concubine a few days ago, how could he die?"

"Why not?"

Looking at Wang Ye who was in shock, Captain Zhao lowered his voice unconsciously: "Just this morning, Jin Mancang died in his bed..."

"Alas, I said that it's not good to take a concubine..."

Hearing this, Wang Ye shook his head and sighed, "No matter how healthy you are, you can't mess around with it. After all, not everyone can have Li Sanduo's body that allows him to eat, touch, and do whatever he wants..."

"But then again, the girl she married is really fierce. Jin Mancang was a bandit when he was young and had practiced hard kung fu. She was able to drain him dry."

"Mr. Qian from Cuilifang is right. There are only cows that die from exhaustion, but no fields that are plowed to death..."

As he spoke, Wang Ye muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"What are you thinking about?"

After hearing Wang Ye's words, Captain Zhao looked at Wang Ye in bewilderment: "Jin Mancang was hacked to death in bed!"

!!!

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ye was shocked: "He was hacked to death!?"

"That's not..."

Seeing Wang Ye's surprised expression, Captain Zhao said, "The murderer is a master. Although Jin Mancang has long retired from the outlaws, he still has his skills. Ordinary people are no match for him."

"But this time, he was beheaded by someone. Not only that, the steel knife he used to fight the enemy was broken into eighteen pieces..."

When these words came out, Wang Ye was shocked.

Eighteen gaps were created, but his head was chopped off with one blow.

This shows that Jin Mancang fought desperately before his death, but was still defeated by the opponent and was killed on the spot with a single sword!

"I see..."

After being slightly shocked, Wang Ye scratched his head and said, "I thought he was partying every night and died on his bed..."

"Manager Wang..."

After hearing Wang Ye's words, Captain Zhao pointed to his head and said, "If you go to places like Yihongyuan too often, it's not just your body that's weak..."

"I don't know if he is physically weak, but I know his mind is definitely strong."

At this time, Bai Luhan passed by from behind Captain Zhao and said, "He is very careful with every penny and will never suffer a loss. He is so cunning!"

"Hey, you little girl, you're so disrespectful on your first day here!"

After hearing Bai Luhan's words, Wang Ye glared and said, "Go to the backyard and wash clothes!"

Tsk! Bai Luhan rolled her eyes and walked straight to the backyard.

"Shopkeeper Wang, sure."

After taking a look at Bai Luhan, Captain Zhao said meaningfully, "I haven't seen the inn for two days and there's a new guy. And this guy is so pretty. I'm afraid he has bad intentions!"

As he spoke, Captain Zhao let out a wicked smile: "Could it be that you are tired of going to Yihong Courtyard and want to have another relationship?"

"She's just a crazy girl from the countryside. How can she be as exciting as the blonde girl from Yihongyuan?"

Wang Ye laughed at Captain Zhao's words and said, "Besides, if you marry a second wife and have a mistress to look after you, how can it be as fun as visiting a brothel?"

"Hahaha"

Seeing the smile on Wang Ye's face, Captain Zhao laughed out loud: "You see clearly!"

“That’s it!”

Wang Ye nodded and responded.

“The pork intestine noodles are here!”

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

At this time, Aji placed a bowl of steaming pig intestine noodles in front of Captain Zhao: "Put more chili in the pig intestine noodles. Enjoy it, Captain Zhao!"

"Okay, I'm so hungry."

Looking at the pig intestine noodles in front of him, Captain Zhao spoke.

He picked up the chopsticks, took a big bite, and said, "Well, don't say it, Chen Chong's cooking skills are really amazing, the pig intestines are cut into the right size, and the taste of the stew is just right. I like this, I can eat it every day!"

As he spoke, Captain Zhao took another big bite and said, "It's a pity that after this one, I have to wait a few days before I can have it again!"

"How many more days do we have to wait?"

In response to Captain Zhao's words, Wang Ye said, "If you want to eat, just come. Captain Zhao, with your monthly salary, can't you afford a bowl of pig intestine noodles that costs several taels of silver?"

“It’s not about the money!”

Captain Zhao ate his noodles in silence as he spoke, "It has been a troubled time recently. Not only have murders occurred frequently, but the people in the martial arts world are also not at peace. This morning, the head of the government office received a letter from the surrounding prefectures, counties and prefectures, saying that a large number of people in the martial arts world have been moving frequently and heading straight to Jinling City..."

"After today, Jinling City will tighten martial law. There will be three patrols a day. It will be difficult to eat a bowl of pig intestine noodles!"

As he spoke, Captain Zhao picked up the big bowl in front of him and ate it all up.

"A large number of people from the Jianghu are heading straight to Jinling City?!"

When these words came out, Wang Ye was startled and asked, "What happened again?"

Although things have been going on in Jinling City recently, it is generally stable.

Although a large number of martial artists had competed for the Fire Monkey before, the competition took place outside the city, so the impact was not significant.

Besides, the Fire Monkey and the Godly Appearance had already left, so this gang of Jianghu people should have scattered like birds and beasts. Why did they gather in Jinling again? "Who knows where to..."

Captain Zhao wiped the grease from his mouth and said, "These martial artists are just like flies, they fly wherever there is a fishy smell. God knows what happened this time..."

"You should take good care of your subordinate, Aji, and tell him not to get involved in this kind of mess. Jianghu affairs are extremely troublesome. Once you are involved, you will be covered in a foul stench that cannot be washed away..."

"Okay, I'm leaving!"

After saying that, Captain Zhao burped, put down a few big coins, and walked out of Zuixianlou.

Looking at Captain Zhao's back, Wang Ye's eyes showed a hint of worry.

For some reason, he had a vague feeling of uneasiness about Jin Mancang's sudden death and the gathering of gangsters.

"Boss, what's that smell?"

As soon as Captain Zhao left, Aji came up to him with a shameless face and asked.

"You stink!"

Hearing this, Wang Ye said unhappily, "All you do is ask questions all day long. Why don't you clean up the table quickly? How are we going to eat when the guests come?"
