This villain is fierce

Chapter 18 Actors Go Live (Wish for collection)

Who told Master He to dote on this only son, and He Youwei was very cooperative, so he became a prodigal.

During the whole process, Chen Ni was like listening to a story told by Mr. Shu, and he listened with great interest.

It's really possible to say what's going on, the two of them started eating breakfast in the morning, but they didn't expect that it would be time for dinner soon.

"His mouth is like a machine gun, he can't stop beeping."

He Youwei also said that he hadn't spoken freely like this for a long time, and he didn't even dare to fart at home, for fear that his father would find out, since he was not good at all, if his father found out that he was spending money recklessly, I'm afraid I'll be scolded and I won't be able to eat for three days.

At this time, the proprietress came back suddenly, and when Chen Ni saw her, he suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Fuck, I was supposed to go to the county government to watch the excitement today, but I was delayed by He Youwei's talk. You are indeed the king of talk."

Judging by the weather outside, it's probably time for feeding. Since even the proprietress, the person involved, has come back, the people onlookers in the county government must have left long ago.

Chen Ni said:

"Mr. He, you wait here first, I'll go buy some oranges... um no, I have something to ask this store."

He Youwei also happened to say that his mouth was dry, his throat seemed to be breathing fire, so he called him to go quickly, and brought two good-looking ones for himself, and of course he wanted to have a good time in this restaurant after eating and drinking. Fan.

At this time, many guests came to the restaurant, and the prostitute began to play and sing in the most conspicuous place on the second floor. Chen Ni ran downstairs and leaned against the front desk of the restaurant.

"Shopkeeper, go to the county government office today, what will the court say?"

The proprietress looked at Chen Ni with wandering eyes, as if she didn't trust him a bit.

"Don't be nervous, shopkeeper. I just want to know how to solve the incident yesterday. I'm also quite afraid of those snitches. If those snitches aren't caught, I won't feel at ease..."

Knowing that it was about money again, Chen Ni took out two more coins from his pocket and threw them on the table.

"Five were caught, one was seriously injured, and the rest ran away." The proprietress lowered her voice, but she was trembling when she spoke.

She is also afraid, those people haven't been caught yet, and she doesn't know when they may revisit their old places. Although her restaurant is big, it is only a small business, and it can't bear it.

"The county magistrate said that as long as those few people tell where the rest of the thieves are hiding, they will be spared, but those snitches are very stubborn, and they will not be soft or hard.

"It's already been beaten a hundred times, and even the officers' arms are sore. Those culprits didn't even utter a word, and they were beaten to death in the end. What do you call this?"

Chen Ni was shocked. Although these thieves were not very capable, they were still loyal, but it was a pity that they died.

"Among those thieves, is there a woman?"

The proprietress thought for a while and shook her head.

"All men."

Having said that, Chen Ni felt relieved. Since the leader was not caught, the Great Lakes Sect would be saved in the future. If the leader was caught without a leader, it would be easy to be suppressed by people from other sects.

"I heard from the master that martial law was enforced in the south of the city last night. Anyone who came in or out had to be inspected, and Mr. Qin was asked to help himself. Mr. Qin said that those culprits must be caught within three days."

Chen Ni knew in his heart that although the county yamen said so on the surface, whether they can be caught depends on the mouth of the government. Although these thieves are not strong, they always have the ability to escape. It is not easy to catch them thing.

"Master Qin said, what happened last night, as long as there is a reward of 500 taels for providing clues, you were on the second floor yesterday. When those thieves went up, did you see their faces clearly?"

At that time, the proprietress was too scared and hid in the room without daring to breathe out, so she didn't see anything, so naturally she had nothing to say.

"I was a little drunk at the time, and I went back to bed early to sleep, so I can't see any thieves."

Of course Chen Ni was unwilling to tell the truth.

"That's it..."

The tone of the proprietress sounded a bit disappointed, 500 taels of silver was not a small amount, it was enough for Hongxing Restaurant to spend for several days.

Speaking of this, Chen Ni remembered the incident of the dagger again. Since he saw the proprietress put it under the desk with his own eyes, how could he have grown legs and ran away?
Chen Ni also thought about whether someone stole the dagger during the time between last night and midnight when he got up by himself, but after thinking about it, he thought it shouldn't be, after all, there shouldn't be such a boring person in the inn.

After thinking about it, Chen Nuo felt that the only possibility was that the proprietress hid the short knife herself. Although she didn't know what the proprietress' purpose was, there was really no other reasonable explanation other than that.

Chen Ni didn't want to just let this matter go. It should be of great benefit to his cultivation if he could get that dagger in his hand and study it carefully.

Chen Ni rubbed his hands together and said:
"Shopkeeper, the short knife here two days ago..."

"Where did you put it?"

The proprietress was dumbfounded after hearing such an abrupt question. What is this guest doing with a dagger? Could it be the thief's accomplice?
"Don't worry, shopkeeper. I know a store outside the county that specializes in collecting all kinds of knives. The short knife looks very extraordinary. I want to sell it. Of course, we will split the money from the sale. What do you think? Sample?"

The proprietress is of course very happy, why not do business if you have business, and then said:

"It's just under this desk, I'll look for it now."

Chen Ni's head got dizzy when he heard it. There was nothing but a pile of sundries and filth under the desk. There was no shadow of a dagger. Could it be that the proprietress really didn't know where the dagger went?

But it is impossible for Chen Ni to just say that you go to the desk to look for it yourself, and if you can find the short-sworded horse, I will lose, isn't it because there is no silver 300 taels here.

Sure enough, the proprietress searched for the dagger under the desk but couldn't find it, so she got up and said to Chen Ni:
"Guest officer, I really remember that I put the short knife here yesterday, but it disappeared for some reason today, look, here..."

It was time to test Chen Ni's acting skills again, and Chen Ni was so surprised that he was a little scared.

"What a fool, the short knife ran away by itself."

The proprietress hurriedly asked the waiter to look for it, even if the whole Hongxinglou was turned over, she still had to find the dagger.

Seeing that the proprietress didn't look like she was acting, Chen Ni had no choice but to say that it's okay and wait a little longer.

Just as he was about to leave, Chen Ni turned back and said to the proprietress:
"Miss Boss, has anything strange happened in this store?"
