Since falling into a coma after drinking the "poisonous wine" brought by Chen Gonggong, and waking up from the coma, Su Lie has never stopped looking for the strange person Zhong Kui mentioned.

For so many years, everyone who passed by him was quietly observed and studied by him, and over time, "secret observation" has become his living habit.

If Su Lie was an ordinary person with no patience and no tenacity, I am afraid that he would have given up a long time ago, integrated into the simple life of the small people in the market, and no longer had the lofty ambition of stabilizing the country and leveling the world, but he was Su Lie, with the same firm will as the Great Wall, and the same spirit that was indestructible, so how could he give in to time and bow to fate?

He doesn't go to the East City often, and he thinks it's too noisy, and the people who are very important to the guards will never linger in the downtown area and show his face there, right?

However, tonight, Su Lie found out that he had made a big mistake and made a mistake that he took for granted! Since it is a search without a goal and without a scope, so no matter where it has search value, how can he be biased and use his own determined criteria to determine the person's preferences and places of access?

Su Lie didn't dare to assert that the pile of scrap iron that Huang Zhao found was related to the strange people, but at least it showed that the bustling East Market, there were more clues hidden in the places where he ignored to find the strange people, and from tomorrow, he had to shift his position and move around the East City more!

The next day, Su Lie sent the children home under the pretext that he was tired and unhappy for days, so he only attended half a day of class in the morning.

Locking the wooden door of the Truth-seeking School, he changed the direction he usually walked, and instead of entering Gutu Street, he walked onto Suzaku Street, looking all the way to the east.

According to the address left by Huang Zhao, Su Lie didn't have much effort to find the True Fragrance Restaurant.

Standing on the steps outside, the restaurant is called a grand place, and it will definitely be a favorite place for dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an City. However, as Huang Zhao said, there is only a white road on the horse road where Xiao Er led the horse in front of the door, and there is neither a piece of horse manure nor a straw left on the road, and there is no trace of the warm atmosphere of ushering in. The two little guys leaned listlessly on the doorpost and played with their fingers, chatting without saying a word......

Su Lie had a little more heart, he just looked outside, and went to another restaurant next to Zhenxiang Restaurant.

The name of the restaurant is "Master Cao", and the façade is incomparable to the real fragrance, at most only one-third of its size, but at noon the restaurant the guys are so busy that they can't wait to fly away with their feet off the ground.

Su Lie waited for a while before he was kindly led inside. He was waiting for the window position, where he could see the side door of the True Fragrance Restaurant.

Xiao Er tore off the towel hanging on his shoulder, wiped the table and wiped the stool, and asked Su Lie to sit down and wait for him to order.

Su Lie was not in a hurry, he turned his head to look at the Zhenxiang Restaurant and asked, "Don't hide it from this little brother, when you come to another place, you want to taste the special dishes in Chang'an City." Seeing that the door of the restaurant is open, the big gold paint signboard is called a style, there must be a famous chef inside, so I want to go in and try it, who would have thought that it seems to be a guest of me, so where do you dare to try it? So I came to your house. ”

The best job of the little two is to grind their mouths, in order to successfully attract guests, everything in the sky and the ground can be blown through the sea, so Su Lie knows that he doesn't have to name the intention, just a little guidance will be able to get out of this guy's mouth.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Su Lie's plan, this kid's smooth round face wrinkled into a Shar Pei with a smile, and he gave a thumbs up and boasted: "Hey, hey, my lord, you are really wiser than the mortal immortals!" As far as their house is concerned, if you want to go in, not only will you have to regret the black intestines, but you will also have to be unlucky! Eat authentic Chang'an cuisine? Bah! That's a dream! ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Su Lie didn't have to pretend, he was really surprised by Xiao Er's words.

Xiao Er spat and shouted: "Don't think that I am belittling my peers, if you want to think so, go to the entire East Market to inquire and see if anyone doesn't know his family's reputation!" It was a haunted restaurant, the old shopkeeper surnamed Xue was still thriving when he took it over from his father-in-law, and somehow something happened to him, and all the diners who went in to eat had to have a stomach. ”

"Oh? What about the proverb? Su Lie was very interested, and listened to Xiao Er's words with relish.

The guests cheered, Xiao Er spoke more energetically, wiped the table with a towel again, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "It's really fragrant, it's really smelly, I ate a real sausage leak." It's really incense, it's a toilet fire, and the toilet in Dongshi is not enough. ”

"Hahaha~" Su Lie pretended to be vulgar and made Xiao Er laugh, pointing at him while laughing: "You hateful little guy, you deliberately make up some words to amuse people, not to mention that there is a bit of rhyme!" ”

Xiao Er was not happy when he heard this, and said angrily with a pouting and raised eyebrows: "I said guest officer, this is a proverb that can be read by an eighty-year-old man and a three-year-old doll on Suzaku Street, where can I make up to fool people?" If you don't believe it, go to an old man and ask, how busy the hospital in Chang'an City was when the accident happened at the Zhenxiang Restaurant! The people who treated diarrhea lined up in a corner, and while he made a lot of money, he also took the medical clinic business to a fire......"

Su Lie smiled, as if he believed it, and hurriedly asked, "So, is that restaurant really weird?" In fact, the food is not cleaned up, and it is not surprising that the diners occasionally have a bad stomach, and the kitchen can be tidied up, so why make such a fuss that he is about to close the door? ”

The guest finally believed it, and the simple-minded Xiao Er breathed a sigh of relief and became happy again: "No, it's not that he eats bad people in his food, but that he always eats bad people!" In the past few years, the shopkeeper Xue tried his best to find the cause of the bad stomach of the food, invited batch after batch of people who knew this industry to check, and renovated the kitchen several times, but to no avail. Every time after the closure of business for rectification, everyone thinks that his family is in order and can rest assured to eat, but the result is still that he doesn't stop after eating, and then in the future, who will dare to believe it? Tell me, isn't this haunted? ”

"Well, according to you, it's really only the ghosts that explain this strange phenomenon." Su Lie propped up the table with both hands thoughtfully.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "So does the little brother still remember when the Zhenxiang Restaurant was built?" Did you experience any special events during this period? ”

"Well~" Xiao Er tilted his head and thought for a long time.

"Hey, hey~ I said Adong, everyone in the store is busy like flies, why are you so idle that you can still stand here and not do anything? Believe it or not, I'll deduct your half-month's salary! ”

The shopkeeper of Master Cao's restaurant stared at the table by the window for a long time, and saw the big man with a long beard and a scar on his face not ordering any dishes, patronizing and chatting with his buddies.
