Forced to be a villain, my righteousness comes first

Chapter 86
Night visits to the Zhang family were very rewarding. Li Xing did not favor one person over another, and he did not let go of the other party involved, the Liu family.

On the night of the second day, Li Xingjiu sneaked into Liu's house with a gourd painting.

Tonight, the Liu family was as quiet as death. The whole family had already turned off the lights and went to bed early, and the whole Liu family was immersed in tranquility.

Compared with the Zhang family, which claims to be strict in family management, the Liu family is even more mediocre.

Li Xingzai carefully walked around in and out of the darkness a few times, but as expected, he didn't get anything.

Li Xing had no choice but to give up exploring regretfully, and went back to sleep honestly.

In the usual fight with Haitang, a new day was ushered in.

Today is the time when the Bounty Office promised to give him information, and Li Xing still remembers this matter.

Although I don't have much hope for the intelligence of the bounty house, it is a way out anyway. In the current situation where there is no clue, any evidence of intelligence is indispensable.

And I'm still a so-called key member, and I've spent so much money, why don't they tell me something nice, and see if I can blow up their stall on the spot.

Thinking of this, Li Xing took Haitang with him and walked towards the bounty office.

The same place, the same bought two sugar figurines, Li Xing and Haitang, wandering around the street like two idlers.

Haitang clasped her hands behind her head, imitating Li Xing's appearance and walked out with steps that her relatives did not recognize, with her tail sticking out the floral skirt, swinging back and forth freely, she just felt very happy.

Under the strange gazes of other passers-by, Li Xing laughed and touched Haitang's head affectionately, while Haitang responded with shy smiles, making people's hearts itch.

In such a free and cheerful atmosphere, the two came to the bounty house.

Pushing open the door of the bounty shop, today's bounty shop is as lively as other times, this kind of place has never lacked those gangsters who work for money.

Li Xing came to the shopkeeper with ease, and this time, the shopkeeper had already remembered Li Xing's face.

Although I don't know how these guys can remember the faces and information of so many people, but it must be their instinct to make a living!

The shopkeeper didn't have too many pleasantries with Li Xing. After knowing the purpose of Li Xing's arrival, he led him to the intelligence counter in the backyard.

The same place, the same mask, and the same people are already there waiting for the arrival of the next guest.

It's like a motionless stone. After closing your eyes, you can't even feel a person sitting opposite.

Li sat across from him carelessly, without talking nonsense, and said straightforwardly.

"What about the information I want?"

"We investigated according to your request, but the information we got back exceeded our expectations."

"We can assure you, it's fun!"

The opposite party was uncharacteristically, and did not directly give Li Xing an accurate quotation, but took a preventive shot first.

On the contrary, Li Xing's heart tightened because of the attitude on the other side, and he subconsciously felt that his wallet was not very good.

"Don't talk nonsense, how many taels do you want?"

"5000 taels!"

Facing Li Xing's questioning, the masked man no longer kept a secret, and broke out an astronomical figure coldly.

"5000 taels?" Li Xing slapped hard, imprinting deep anger on the solid wood tabletop in front of him.

"Are you taking me for a fool who doesn't understand anything?"

The opposite party obviously had expected such a situation, and said slowly
"Considering your identity and contribution to the bounty house, you only need to make up the amount of 900 taels, and we can send this information in full..."

The attitude is neither humble nor overbearing, but it does not carry too much emotion, it just expounds a fact lightly.

"Believe me, this information is definitely far beyond your imagination."

Looking directly into the masked man's eyes, Li Xing suddenly calmed down and stopped acting, as if he wasn't the one who got angry just now.

Li Xing sat back at the table, silently thinking about the information revealed by the masked man.

4000 taels is undoubtedly a number far beyond his budget and imagination, but it also reveals a lot of information.

The bounty house will not ask for prices too much, either the information they possess involves interests far exceeding 10 taels, or it is related to some unimaginable levels.

But what does this have to do with the two ordinary merchants, Zhangjialiu's?

Li Xing couldn't figure it out, and asked after thinking quietly for a moment.

"I don't have 4000 taels. Can you use such a form, I ask questions, you quote, and sell me the information I want to know!"

This way of trading is quite new, the masked man thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

"Please!"

After thinking about it, Li Xing asked the first question first.

"Has anyone accepted the task of assassinating the sixth miss of the Liu family and the second son of the Zhang family?"

The masked man thought for a moment, "50 taels!"

Li Xing remained silent and nodded in response.

The masked man then began to speak slowly.

"We can ensure that no individual or force within Huan'an City has released such information."

"It can also be ascertained that none of the professionals who often wander here have accepted such tasks."

"A list of those who have close contacts with Zhang and Liu?"

"200 taels!"

Li Xing stared at the manuscript paper on the ground of a thin piece of paper. This piece of paper earned him 200 taels. Li Xing was so distressed that he almost vomited blood, but he still reluctantly paid the money and delivered the goods.

"What kind of business is the partnership between the Zhang family and the Liu family!"

"Bring the complete route and contact person information, 1000 taels!"

This question is worth 1000 taels, 1000 taels!Li Xing frowned.

Although I have already guessed that the partnership business of these two companies is not simple, it is definitely not a simple triangular trade, such as doing business in medicinal materials and leather.

"I just need a name!"

When the masked man heard this, he was silent for a while, "100 taels!"

That's nine out of ten, your intelligence is too watery!
Li Xing was slandering in his heart, he gritted his teeth after thinking about it, and decided to pay the money.

"Poppy!"

The masked man only spit out these three words.

Three words are worth 100 taels?Li Xing hesitated for a moment, he seemed to have heard this word somewhere.

After thinking for a while in his mind, Li Xing suddenly remembered the day he just entered the city, Luo Mingfeng seemed to have pulled out a bag of poppies in front of Gong Yi's eyes, and Gong Yi was so choked that he couldn't speak.

Li Xing doesn't know what this thing is, but since three words can be worth 100 taels, Li Xing guesses that it shouldn't be a common thing.

There are also lines and contacts... No!

Li Xing thought about it again, if the bounty office can even get the confidential information that is logically said to be the core of the cooperation between Zhang and Liu, then it should be the limit of this information offer!

Where did the value of the other 3000 intelligence quotes come from?

The Zhang family and the Liu family, in this whole matter, is there anything else that I have neglected?
Is the water that deep?

Li Xing pondered for a moment, but couldn't find the slightest clue.

It doesn't seem to work if you don't spend this money!But it is definitely impossible for Li Xing to pay the money himself!

"If you want to postpone this information and not sell it to others, how much money do you need?"

Facing Li Xing's question about business, the masked man nodded politely and said.

"for free!"

"Don't worry, our bounty house does not take the initiative to sell information to stakeholders, unless a certain customer just mentioned to us that he wants to buy this information. Otherwise, we will only store this information indefinitely. Of course , if many people come to buy the same information, we will not refuse to sell it several times!"

The masked man instructed by Li Xing nodded while looking at the indifferent eyes under the mask. Li Xing still chose to believe in the bounty house's bottom line.

Then he stood up immediately, startling Haitang who was playing with the sugar man with his fingers.

"let's go!"

Li Xing said this, and at the same time grabbed Haitang by the back of the neck, pulled her and rushed out of the bounty house.

With just a few words, I spent a huge sum of 350 taels!This is simply unthinkable!It must be reimbursed!There is still information left, and 3000 taels are needed!Li Xing's first thought was Changping Temple.

"Three thousand five hundred taels?"

Commander Luo was not there, so Li Xing went directly to Gaodusi and reported the intelligence information.He just wanted to ask Gao Dusi to reimburse himself for the expense.

For such a huge amount of expenses, the well-informed Gao Dusi couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Master Li, do you think this information has a lot to do with this case?"

Li Xing nodded decisively, and replied without hesitation: "It has a lot to do with it! It directly determines whether the case can be solved!"

There is a fart relationship!Li Xing just didn't want to plant such a huge hidden danger for his future actions!
But at this moment, Li Xing's gaze was firm, staring at Gao Dusi's face, forcing him to make a decision.

Gao Dusi hesitated for a moment, then asked back, "Young Master Li, what kind of information request did you ask for the bounty?"

There is absolutely nothing worth hesitating about this question, Li Xing replied immediately: "I just asked them to investigate all the anomalies related to the death of Master Zhang and Miss Liu Jialiu."

Gao Dusi smiled wryly, "You really have a problem!"

"However..." Gao Dusi is not someone who knows nothing about bounties. On the contrary, he knows exactly what a piece of information worth 5000 taels in the bounty office means.

"Two families of merchants in the area can actually lead to such a big thing in the future. If the information of 5000 taels is bought, this Huan'an city will not be turned upside down!"

Gao Dusi muttered to himself.

"I bought some information." Li Xing decided to disclose some of the things he bought with his own money, in order to strengthen Gao Dusi's determination: "Speaking of the new business of the Zhang and Liu families involving poppy poppy!"

Hearing this, Gao Dusi didn't seem too surprised, but said with a sudden realization: "No wonder there have been a lot of poppies for sale in Huan'an City recently."

This reaction is not right, is it not the same as what I thought?
"Please tell me, what exactly is this poppy?"

Gao Dusi didn't care about Li Xing's ignorance in some aspects, and explained patiently: "This poppy is a rare and expensive traditional Chinese medicine, and it tastes delicious."

"It has the effects of invigorating the spleen and appetizing, clearing heat, reducing inflammation, diuresis, etc. It can be used to treat diarrhea, dysentery, nausea, prolapse of the anus, chronic cough, and chest and abdominal pain."

"It's just medicinal materials?" Li Xing frowned, remembering the attitude of the Huaqi Sect at that time, it was obviously not that simple.

"Not really," Gao Dusi shook his head with a smile and said, "This poppy has a side effect."

"You will become dependent on it after eating it a few times!"

"For example, if the rice noodles you eat contain a small amount of poppy, after you get used to eating such rice noodles for a long time, if you eat other rice noodles that do not contain poppy, you will feel a little less flavor."

"I will unconsciously want to find rice noodles with poppy poppy!"

It turned out to be this kind of thing!
