Traveling through the heavens starts from practicing swords in the palace

102 Chapter 101. The town is not simple

The woman seemed to be in her thirties, and she had the unique charm of a young woman on her body. Her eyes kept darting back and forth like looking for prey, the kind of eyes that would make a man feel itchy.

When she heard Lin Pingzhi call her sister, she smiled brightly.

"Sister...my son's mouth is so sweet. At my age, I can be your...I can be your sister-in-law."

The woman wanted to say that she could be your mother, but seeing Lin Pingzhi's face sinking, she quickly changed her mind.

Lin Pingzhi glared at the woman, preventing her from getting too angry, and then smiled and said:
"Sister-in-law is not much different from sister-in-law. As the saying goes, dumplings are better than delicious, and nothing more fun... Watch sister-in-law making dumplings."

"Please tell me, sister-in-law, are there any strange people or anything surprising happening in Qingfeng Town these days?"

When the woman saw Lin Pingzhi smiling, his red and phoenix eyes were restrained, and he had an indescribable masculine charm, she couldn't help but get closer and said:
"There don't seem to be any strange people, but there are quite a few strange things. For example, the vicious dog raised by Lao Zhangtou in the town brought back a pregnant female wolf from nowhere two days ago."

"For example, Fatty Xu, who lives in the west of the town, eats meat every day and doesn't like to exercise. He is as fat as a ball. One day he fell when he went out..."

When Lin Pingzhi heard her talk about the dogs and pigs in the village, he quickly stopped and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not these anecdotes."

"Let me be blunt. My family runs a bodyguard bureau. I picked up a bodyguard a few days ago to escort an old lady to Quanzhou to visit her relatives."

"It was originally a very simple escort, but when we arrived outside Qingfeng Town, a dozen of our escorts disappeared together."

"So I want to ask if you have noticed anything unusual recently, and have you seen us bodyguards coming to the town?"

"Many people disappeared outside the town at the same time. People in your town should know something?"

The woman's eyes were full of wanderlust. After hearing Lin Pingzhi's words, she deliberately reached out and patted the peaks and peaks on her body, trying to attract his attention.

"Escorts? No escorts have passed through our town recently, let alone the dozen or so escorts you mentioned, sir."

"The town is so big, I know what's going on, and no dart walkers have appeared recently."

Lin Pingzhi hummed and said, "Thank you very much, by the way, we still want to find a little doll..."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Fuquan, a disciple of the Beggar Gang, and motioned him to describe the appearance of the little baby.

Li Fuquan hurriedly talked about the appearance of the child who delivered the message that day.

After hearing Li Fuquan's description, the woman had a surprised expression on her face, and said, "It turned out to be him!"

Seeing the change of expression on her face, Lin Pingzhi hurriedly asked, "Who? Do you know this child?"

The woman smiled and said, "There are so many children in this small town, I don't know which one you are talking about."

Lin Pingzhi naturally didn't believe what she said. Judging from her expression just now, it was obvious that she knew the child who was delivering the message, and there must be something special about that child.

This messenger boy is the key to finding the escort. Lin Pingzhi hurriedly asked: "Even if you are not sure which one it is, there are always several possible partners. Please tell us, sister-in-law."

The woman was very happy to chat with Lin Pingzhi, but intentionally or unconsciously, she always wanted to lean on Lin Pingzhi.

After hearing that they asked about the child, they backed away further and further.

In the end, he said: "I won't tell you anymore, I'm going home to sleep."

Although Lin Pingzhi was not a gentleman, when a woman said she wanted to go home to sleep, he was too embarrassed to force her to stop her from leaving.

So he just gave a wry smile and watched the woman go away.

After walking a few steps, the woman suddenly turned her head and said, "I don't know much about the child you are asking about."

"But I know that if something as bizarre as your escort's disappearance was done by someone from our town, it could only be one person."

Lin Pingzhi hurriedly asked: "The only possibility is who did it?"

The woman looked at Lin Pingzhi from a distance, like a puppy begging for food, and then said: "The richest man in the town, Wang Youcai."

...

Although Lin Pingzhi was in a hurry to find the person who attacked the bodyguard, so he could beat him up, but at this moment it was Lin Shao's bodyguard who was looking for the young lady—there was nowhere to use his strength.

But fortunately, he has always been in a good mood, knowing that it is useless to be anxious at this time, so he can only go to the inn with Li Fuquan, a disciple of the beggar gang, to stay for one night first.

The name of the small town inn is more down-to-earth, called Lao Ma Inn.

There is only one owner in the store, and there are no other staff—in hotels in small towns, it is often enough for the owner to do the work of his own family, and there is no need to spend extra money to hire people.

The boss looked about 50 or [-] years old, with a long horse face and drooping eyelids. Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but said, "This boss is honest, he really is an old horse."

Lao Ma's appearance was not flattering, but he had a smile on his face, but his smile was really scary in this dark sky.

Lin Pingzhi asked him to open two rooms and make some supper at random, and asked casually:
"Brother Ma, do you know a kid in your town? He looks like he is eight or nine years old, but he talks like a teenager."

Lao Ma was originally smiling, but when Lin Pingzhi asked this child, his smile disappeared instantly, and he said in a deep voice, "There are many such children in the town, and I don't know which one the guest officer is talking about."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to manipulate the objects beside the counter, apparently not intending to say anything to Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi took out a gold ingot from the warehouse, tossed it lightly, and landed on the shelf in front of the old horse.

The old horse shook slightly, picked up the gold, turned around, and said, "I really don't know who the young master wants to ask, this gold...I can only return this gold to the young master."

He said to return it to the young master, but his hand held the ingot tightly and honestly, and he didn't intend to let go at all.

Lin Pingzhi said: "Brother Ma, take the gold first, treat it as our hotel money, and you don't need to know about the kid."

"By the way, I also want to ask you, is there a wealthy man named Wang Youcai in your town?"

The old horse said: "Wang Youcai? Ah, you mean Wang Long. His family is amazing, rich and powerful, with a big house and a big business. Why, the guest officer is looking for him for something?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "Yes, I have a friend who has a problem here, and I want to ask him."

Lao Ma had already put the gold ingot into his inner pocket and said after hearing the words: "It doesn't matter if you ask or ask. There are many people in their family and they have many ears and eyes. Maybe they know what you want to ask, sir."

Lin Pingzhi smiled and said, "Brother Ma, you seem to know what I want to ask?"

The old horse didn't deny it, but put the horse's face close to Lin Pingzhi mysteriously, and said in a low voice:
"Sir, if you want to find out the whereabouts of your friend, anyone in this town can ask, but don't ask that kid or Xu Fatty Pig in the town."

"No matter who it is, as long as he provokes these two people, even if he leaves Qingfeng Town, he will be plagued by bad luck..."

Lin Pingzhi thought to himself: "That kid is the messenger, I must be looking for him. As for the other fat pig, as long as he has nothing to do with this matter, I don't bother to take care of him."

Lao Ma was obviously very grateful for Lin Pingzhi's gold, so he wanted to say something more.

But at this time someone suddenly said: "Husband, you don't usually talk so much, why did you talk to the guests for so long today?"

"The guest is on a long journey and needs to rest early. We will talk about it tomorrow."

When the old horse heard the voice, he shut up obediently and said nothing more.

Lin Pingzhi didn't need to look up, he knew who the speaker was just by hearing the voice.

He couldn't help feeling a headache: "This town is not simple."
