Chapter 542: Drinkers in Xiapi City

The Mo family ancestor was afraid that Shi Feng would have resentment, so he relaxed Shi Feng's actions again and allowed him to walk around Xia Pi City.

Of course, this kind of movement must be restricted. Shi Feng must disguise himself and cannot reveal his identity, let alone leak any information related to refining treasures.

Shi Feng was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.

Xia Pi City is located at the crossroads of the Central Plains, and merchants come and go. It is very prosperous. It is naturally very good to go down the mountain to the city for a breath of fresh air.

One day, at the east gate of Xia Pi City, an old man with a white beard and a yellow shirt walked into the city slowly with a cane.

He walked and looked around. Xia Pi City was originally an important city of Qi State, but Shi Feng had been in the mountains for twenty years, and Qi State had perished and the world was unified.

At this moment, Xia Pi City was bustling with traffic, and the streets were constantly hawking, a peaceful scene.

Xia Pi City is not only a big city in the mortal world, but also an important place in the world of cultivation. It is only four or five hundred miles away from Haining.

Haining is a large port inland from the East China Sea. A large number of items from the overseas mountains and the sea monsters flow into the Central Plains through this place.

Similarly, things from the Central Plains also pass through Haining and set sail to the East China Sea Islands. Due to its unique geographical advantages, Haining has become the largest port in Qinzhong Continent.

Haining Association has also become one of the four major business houses in the world.

Unlike the Guanzuo Ning Family and the Guanzhong Feng Family, the Haining Chamber of Commerce is not a family power. It is similar to the Eighteen Alliances in Shuzhong. It is jointly controlled by the Xia Pi Guan Family, Linzi Wu Lei Men and Taishan Sect.

Among the three major forces, only the Xia Pi Guan Family is a refining sect responsible for the inspection of goods. Therefore, Xia Pi has also become an important transit point for Central Plains goods through Haining.

As Shi Feng walked along the way, he found that there were refining material shops on both sides of the street, which contained many rare items from the sea that he had never seen before.

This made Shi Feng ecstatic. He had come down the mountain to relieve his addiction to alcohol, but he didn't even bother to drink and went straight into the material shop.

In this way, Shi Feng would go to the city every seven or eight days. In addition to buying wine, he would go to the store to buy materials.

The place where he often went to drink was called "Songhelou". The restaurant was not big, but it had been opened in Xiapi for more than 40 years and was a time-honored brand.

The autumn dew brewed in the store was white, sweet, and mellow. Shi Feng would drink three or two catties every time he came.

This day, Shi Feng walked slowly into Songhelou wearing straw sandals.

He was familiar with the place and went straight up to the second floor. He sat down at a table by the window, ordered two catties of good wine and a plate of peanuts, and drank by himself.

It was past noon, and the hotel was empty. In addition to Shi Feng, there was only a table at the easternmost end, where a man in his thirties in a gray robe was drinking alone.

He had a handsome appearance and a black beard on his upper lip that was neatly trimmed. Although he was drinking alone, he was calm.

Shi Feng only glanced at him, then turned his head and looked at the street. He naturally didn't care about a mortal without magic power.

Just when he drank half a catty of wine, there was a hurried sound of footsteps downstairs, and the floor creaked, and a big man rushed up.

The big man took a glance and saw the gray-robed man. He rushed over in two steps, sat down, and lowered his voice and said anxiously, "Young master, something bad is going to happen!"

The gray-robed man turned over a wine bowl, poured a glass of wine, and placed it in front of the big man, saying lightly, "Brother Tong San, don't be in a hurry, drink a sip of wine first, and talk slowly."

The table he sat on was three or four feet away from Shi Feng, one east and one west. According to common sense, Shi Feng, an "old man", could not hear the two of them whispering anyway.

But Shi Feng was a fake pill cultivator. Even if he didn't deliberately eavesdrop on the conversation at this distance, every word was heard by him.

"Tong San?" Shi Feng's heart moved, and he glanced at the big man. There was a long scar on his left face, from the corner of his forehead to the bottom of his cheek.

Shi Feng immediately remembered that twenty years ago, he and the ancestor of the Mo family traveled all the way from Shuzhong to Xiapi, and encountered a team of black-armored knights chasing another group of people on the way.

The party being chased seemed to be a noble family. At that time, the head of the family, Lord Ping, saw that the pursuers were getting closer and closer and could not escape, so he ordered the servants to escort the young master to escape at all costs.

The two servants were named Tong San and Tie Si. Tie Si had died in the battle, and only Tong San escaped with the young man.

Because the scar on Tong San's face was really conspicuous, Shi Feng had a good impression of it. However, twenty years later, this Tong San was already in his fifties, and his hair was a little gray.

Looking more carefully, the gray-robed man was the young man who escaped from death that year. As time passed, he had a beard on his lips and entered middle age, but the outline of his face was vaguely the same as before.

Tong San picked up the wine bowl, swallowed it in one gulp, wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Young Master, it's bad, Ah Qi was arrested by the government!"

"When did it happen?" The gray-robed man's face also changed.

"Just now, less than a meal's time, I went to the horse shop, and just as I arrived at the street corner, I saw dozens of policemen escorting Lao Jin, Ah Qi and others out of the horse shop.

There were people on both sides, and I pretended to be a spectator. I watched for a while, and waited for the police to leave the street before running away from the alley and going to the cloth shop first. Seeing that you were not in the store, I guessed that you might be in Songhe Tower, so I came all the way here."

After Tong San finished speaking, he took a breath, "The matter is urgent, I will escort you out of the city immediately."

The gray-robed man praised, "Brother Tong San, you did a good job, you didn't run away at that time. If that happened, the police would have seen you and would have immediately caught up with you and arrested you."

After speaking, he lowered his head and pondered.

Tong San kept urging him, but the man in gray robe waved his hand, "Don't worry, let me ask you, were they the yamen runners or the soldiers who arrested Ah Qi and the others?"

Tong San thought for a moment and said, "It was the yamen runners, not the soldiers."

"Who were the people arrested?"

"Lao Jin, Ah Qi, and Ah Qi's three fellow apprentices, oh, and Boss Zhao from the horse shop, there are only three horse-watching servants left."

The gray-robed man held the wine glass and rubbed the rim of the glass with his fingers, "Do you know why the officers arrested them?"

Tong San shook his head and said, "I don't know, that's why I panicked! When I was watching the excitement, I heard from the people around that Lao Jin, Ah Qi and others were eating and drinking.

You know the temper of Ah Qi and his brothers, they shouted and made noises after drinking a few cups of horse urine, and then I don't know what the news was, a group of yamen runners rushed in and arrested them all."

He lowered his voice by three points, "I heard that the new Xia Pi magistrate is cunning and ruthless, and the Tian family suffered a big loss not long ago, and more than a dozen people died."

The gray-robed man sneered slightly, " That's right, the new Xia Pi Ling is a scheming and vicious character.

But the current situation may not be a trap set by him. If we rush out of the city at this moment, we may fall into his trap. "

Tong San was puzzled, "Why do you say that, sir?"

The gray-robed man said, "A Qi is Cang Hai Jun's disciple, and he is not an unknown person. If the government had evidence, they would have arrested him long ago. Why wait until today?

Two years have passed since the incident in Bolangsha. The only evidence left at the scene is the iron hammer, which weighs 150 kilograms. The person who can lift such a heavy iron hammer and throw it a hundred feet to directly smash the main car must be a strong man with infinite strength.

The government can only start from this clue. After taking office, Xia Pi Ling has spread his ears and eyes. Tie Si and A Qi shouted after drinking. When they were discovered, they were all big and strong. 's strong men, very suspicious, so they have to be arrested. "

Tong San said, "Sir, are you saying that Xia Pi Ling is bluffing and trying to trick us?"

The gray-robed young man took a sip, "That's right! Boss Zhao is not one of us, but he is tall and strong, and he was also arrested, and one of the three servants is actually one of us, but because he is thin, he was not arrested.

So, Xia Pi Ling did not have our list, this move is purely to shock the tiger and lure the snake out of the hole!

The city gates must be full of spies now, just wait and see who rushes out of the city. If we run away, we will fall into his trap.

In addition, Xia Pi Ling must have left spies near the horse shop, so don't go in these days.

In addition, you must not let the three servants escape or do anything else. The boss of the horse shop has been arrested, Xiao It's normal to cry and whine. If they run away, it will cause trouble. "

Tong San heard this and felt relieved. However, he thought for a while and said, "But sir, Lao Jin and Ah Qi were captured. Xia Pi Ling will definitely interrogate them, either by coercion or bribery. Will he...?"

The gray-robed man waved his hand and said, "Besides you and me, only Cang Hai Jun and Ah Qi know about the matter of Bolangsha. His fellow apprentices are all unaware.

Back then, Cang Hai Jun sent Ah Qi to fight with me, not because Ah Qi was the strongest and had the best martial arts, but because Ah Qi was the most loyal and would not confess. "

Tong San said, "Sir, I know Ah Qi is not afraid of torture, but is afraid that Xia Pi Ling will use words to trap him. Xia Pi Ling is an old fox!"

The gray-robed man pondered, "What do you mean...?"
