You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 536: A Carriage Was Needed at That Time

"Did you make enemies with anyone in Nameless City?"

The question asked by the man in green robe left Shi Xiaoliu and the other two stunned.

"Sir, how can we make enemies with others in Nameless City?"

Shi Xiaoliu couldn't help but ask back: "We are just passers-by, we want to see the beauty of a city, and we have no intention of challenging anyone."

"But when someone came to the inn to cause trouble, you taught them a lesson."

The man in green robe looked at Shi Xiaoliu and asked. Shi Xiaoliu pointed at the waiter speechlessly and said, "Sir, have you carefully asked the owner and the waiter?

It was an unprovoked disaster, and it had something to do with the innkeeper. We were just the guests implicated."

The waiter nodded quickly and said, "My uncle and I have told the adults that the matter has nothing to do with the three gentlemen.

That day, those people came to provoke us, but Master Shi only broke their swords and didn’t hurt anyone.”

The man in green robe glanced at the waiter, then turned around and asked Shi Xiaoliu and the other two some careful questions.

"Why would the inn owner resell the inn?
You want to escort them all the way?"

Shi Zelan was very unhappy and said: "Sir, what kind of city is Wuming City? Don't you government officials know anything about it?

Why would the owner of the inn transfer the inn? His life is almost gone. If he doesn't transfer it, is he going to leave his life in Wuming City?

We are leaving the Nameless City, and there are people to go with us. Is it wrong for us to go together?"

"Then do the places you visited and the men in black on the city wall have anything to do with you?"

Xia Yu was directly angry: "Sir, instead of investigating the real culprit, you keep asking us these boring questions. Did we set fire to Wuming City in your dream?

Show us the evidence that we returned to the Nameless City. If you don’t have any evidence, don’t ask irrelevant questions.”

The waiter looked at Xia Yu with admiration, and the man in green robe also looked unhappy.

Shi Zelan sneered: "We respect the rules of your government, but we will not be subjected to this unprovoked disaster.

If you don’t believe it, go along this path to find evidence and then question our actions.”

Shi Xiaoliu picked up the water cup and said to the man in green robe and the waiter, "It's getting late, we won't keep you any longer.

Sir, if you come to ask the same question tomorrow, we will refuse to see you without a local official accompanying you. "

"You are guilty."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two sneered, "If we were guilty, would we rent a house here?

If you government officials are capable, please quickly find out the truth behind the fire in Wuming City.

We, the innocent people implicated, also want to be free to do our own things.”

The man in green robe took the waiter to the official post station, met the local officials, and told them about the bad attitude of Shi Xiaoliu and the other two.

The local officials were surprised when they heard his words and said, "Every time we went to ask them about the situation of the Nameless City, they answered our questions seriously.

We adults said that they really had nothing to do with the affairs of Nameless City.

Otherwise, he must have practiced for many years to be able to face similar questions from us again and again."

The man in green robe pointed at the waiter and said, "He was the witness who left Wuming City with those three people before the incident."

The waiter had been standing silently beside the man in green robes. After hearing what he said, he quickly said, "Our master asked me to accompany him to recognize people."

"So the three of them left Nameless City together with you?"

After the waiter nodded affirmatively, the local official asked again: "Did they leave your group during the journey?" "No.

When we stayed at the inn, they didn't go out at night.

At night, after missing their place to stay, the three of them took turns keeping watch.

They treated us very well, so we could sleep peacefully outside."

The local official looked at the man in green robe and smiled: "Sir, do you want to take a day off tomorrow?"

The green-robed man said with a serious expression: "Our Lord is still waiting for news from me."

"Okay, then we'll arrange for someone to accompany you for questioning tomorrow."

On the second day, local officials accompanied the man in green robe and the waiter to the courtyard where Shi Xiaoliu and other two lived.

Shi Xiaoliu and two other people were talking in the yard. Suddenly, Shi Xiaoliu got excited and went to the wall to pick up a branch and started to gesture.

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Little Six, I'll come too."

Shi Zelan watched them sparring with two branches, and commented, "Little Six, you better act quickly."

"Xia Yu, you shouldn't have avoided it just now. You could have attacked from the side."

The man in green robe heard the voices in the yard from outside, and he said to the local officials, "Don't make a sound to alert them."

The local official looked at him, and the waiter looked anxious.

When the three of them entered the yard, they saw two young men playing with branches in the yard, while another person was muttering and commenting at the side. The three of them were speechless.

The waiter was relieved and said happily, "My three lords, you are in such a good mood so early in the morning."

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu threw the branches away, while Shi Zelan looked at them and then brought a bench for them to sit on.

After the local official sat down, he smiled and said to Shi Xiaoliu and the other two, "You met this gentleman yesterday, and he still has questions for you to answer today."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two sighed and said, "Okay, but we really don't understand the people and things in Wuming City."

“What is your relationship with the inn’s owner?
I see you have a pretty good relationship with this waiter."

The man in green robe asked again, and Shi Xiaoliu and the other two naturally answered his question.

"We have an ordinary relationship with the inn owner. The waiter is a careful person, and we have a considerate relationship with each other."

The waiter nodded vigorously at the side: "The three gentlemen and my uncle only talk about serious matters, and don't talk about anything else."

The local official asked curiously, "What serious things are they talking about?"

The waiter gave an example: "For example, where we can go today, and when we check in at night, the three of them will not care about us, things like that."

"Didn't you pay them to escort you?"

"My uncle only gave them a carriage, they didn't want any money."

Shi Xiaoliu said, "We just came out to take a walk to broaden our horizons, and we'll go wherever we go.

Our host asked us to accompany them for a portion of the journey, and our initial plan was to walk with them for two days, and then we would separate once they felt safe.

But later on, our employer asked us to send them to the place where their ancestors used to live, and we thought it was just a convenient thing to do.

We accepted the carriage because we needed it at that time.”

"Where did the carriage go afterwards?"

The man in green robe immediately asked, and Shi Xiaoliu said unhappily: "Of course it was sold. If there is no carriage, we can take the small road."
