I'm not a god of wine

Chapter 34 The thief's heart is immortal
The team hurriedly walked on the street, no one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed very stagnant.

At this moment, it was Zi Shi, and most of the people had already fallen asleep.

There were also some people who slept late, and when they saw the city guards patrolling outside through the window, they all sensed something was wrong, and quietly blew out the candles.

Brothels, restaurants, teahouses and gambling houses on both sides of the Jiahe River closed their doors early to thank customers.

The entire Jialing City fell silent.

There was nothing else on the street except for groups of dignified city guards and their rain-like footsteps.

Beicheng is the largest civilian-inhabited area in Jialing City. There are rows of houses and alleys as dense as silk. This is also the place where the city guards focus on investigation.

After arriving at the place, Chief Shi did not hesitate to start arranging tasks.

"Our mission is to check Ding Yi No. 44, and the residents of Ding Yi No. 13. Don't miss one. Now, in a group of three, you, you, you three, go to Ding Yi No. [-] to No. [-]. "

"As ordered!"

The three people who were pointed out looked at each other and stood up together.

"Ling Yuanzhuo, Yang Luo, Chen Li, the three of you are in charge of No. 14 to No. 23 of Ding Yi!"

Three people including Ling Yuanzhuo and Yang Luo came out and took orders.

"...You guys are in charge of Ding Yi's 23rd to 33rd."

"You guys, go to No. 33 to No. 43 of Ding Yi."

Everyone has been allocated, only one Xu Le is left.

Everyone's eyes were on Xu Le, No. 44 Ding Yi, Liu's mansion... Many people's eyes were full of sympathy, but no one dared to come out and say a word for Xu Le.

"Xu Le, you are in charge of Ding Yi No. 44." Shi Chang looked at him calmly and said lightly.

Xu Le took a step forward, cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Yes."

Shi Chang nodded, and was about to give an order, but Yang Luo next to him suddenly took a step forward and spoke.

"My lord, this subordinate... this subordinate wants to investigate Ding Yi No. 44 with Xu Le!" Yang Luo stood up, mustered up his courage, and faced Shi Chang.

"And me, I'll go too!"

Ling Yuanzhuo also followed closely behind, bowed his hands towards Shichang and said: "Xu Le is a newcomer, and as a veteran, I should take him with me, please help me."

A group of people looked at the two in amazement, full of puzzlement.

"Are you sure?" Shi Chang frowned and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, please help me." Ling Yuanzhuo and Yang Luo looked at each other and said in unison.

"Okay, since that's the case, the three of you will be in charge of investigating Ding Yi No. 44." Shi Chang nodded, and after making some arrangements, he ordered: "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

The people were divided into four groups and scattered into the huge residential area, and soon they were like a drop of water falling into the sea, sinking into the night.

With his hands behind his back, Shi Chang stared at the backs of the three of Xu Le, with a sinister sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Xu, have you offended Master Shichang?" Yang Luo couldn't help but ask Xu Le while walking.

Ling Yuanzhuo on the side also looked at him, and asked with a solemn expression: "Did you have a festival with Lord Shida before?"

In the army, the most fearful thing is that this kind of situation will happen, offending the superior, being suppressed, wearing small shoes, and you will have to shed a layer of skin if you are not dead.

It's not just talking about killing people at the first level.

What's more, Shichang is two levels higher than Xu Le, a pawn.

Xu Le was also at a loss. A few hours ago, when he first arrived at the city gate guard, Na Shichang was not enthusiastic about him, but he was not so targeted.

How could there be such a change in attitude after only a few hours?

Xu Le shook his head, and said helplessly, "It's just the first time I've met Mr. Shida. I've never met before. How could there be a festival?"

"Is that weird?" Ling Yuanzhuo and Yang Luo looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

It is said that there is no love for no reason, and there is no hatred for no reason. If Xu Le is simply unhappy, there is no need for him to investigate the dangerous Liu family mansion alone.

Xu Le was thinking about this while walking, and suddenly he asked, "What's the name of Master Shida?"

"Master Shida's surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Chu." Ling Yuanzhuo replied.

"Surnamed Wang?" Xu Le stopped, as if he understood something, and asked again: "Is... the king from the east of the city?"

Ling Yuanzhuo nodded, and said, "Yes, Master Shichang is a branch of the Wang family, and it is because of this background that he got the job of Shichang."

Xu Le finally understood that this elder was a descendant of the Wang family.

No wonder there was such a change in his attitude towards him only a few hours before and after. Presumably he had found out his identity, so he did it on purpose.

Even, it is not ruled out that his doing so is behind the will of a big man in the Wang family.

One must know that the Wang and Xie families have been thinking of destroying the Xu family and squeezing out of Jialing City for not a day or two, and even persuading Yuanshen to die of drunkenness, they have a criminal record.

This is a heartless...

Xu Le licked the corner of his mouth and sneered in his heart.

He made a note of this matter, and he will always find an opportunity to settle accounts with these two families in the future.

"Brother Xu, do you know why?" Yang Luo looked at him.

Xu Le nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Let's not talk about this, our mission is to investigate Yiding No. 44, let's finish it first."

The two saw that Xu Le didn't want to say more, so they didn't mention it anymore, but chatted about some rumors about the Liu family. Xu Le listened quietly, without interjecting.

While speaking, several people came to the front of the Liu family mansion.

The Liu family, before the accident, was also one of the most wealthy families in Jinling City.

Of course, it can't compare to the Xu family, Wang family, Xie family and other top giants, but compared to ordinary people, it is also a wealthy family that is beyond reach.

Just looking at the house in front of you, you can see how beautiful the Liu family was in its heyday.

There are two mottled stone lions at the door, one on the left and one on the right, lifelike.

The handles of the two red-painted gates were rusted, and the plaque of the Willow Mansion hanging above was crooked and crumbling, covered with cobwebs.

Xu Le looked at the mansion in front of him. For some reason, he recalled those horror movies he had seen in his previous life.

Xu Le doesn't know Fengshui, but for some reason, with his intuition of an eighth-rank martial artist, he feels a little strange in this house.

I couldn't tell what was wrong, but Xu Le was extremely vigilant in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Le turned to Ling Yuanzhuo and Yang Luo and said, "You two are watching outside, and I will go in to investigate alone."

"How can this be done, Brother Yang, we came together, of course we have to go in together!"

Yang Luo was the first to express his objection. He looked at Xu Le with an unprecedented seriousness on his baby face: "We brothers, we will live and die together!"

"Yang Luo is right, brother Xu, I know you are thinking of us. But, we two stood outside guarding and let you go in alone. If this matter gets out, people will poke your spine."
