Chapter 51: Heads-up?
It was nightfall, and there were fewer pedestrians on the road.
Li Canghai hurriedly walked to Jixianglou, he wanted to grasp the trend of the wine as soon as possible, and he must not let the wine be bought again.
When he walked to the secluded, Li Canghai suddenly felt the sound of wind coming from behind him.
He subconsciously dodged sideways, only to see a palm wind brushing against his shoulder.
Before he could react, the palm of his hand had turned into a fist, and a punch hit him in the shoulder.
I am afraid that this punch is not dozens of catties, Li Canghai was beaten and vomited blood again and again, and he stumbled a few times in a row, and almost fell to the ground.
Holding his body hard, Li Canghai coughed up a mouthful of bloody phlegm and scolded: "Which turtle grandson, in the middle of the night, is actually looking for trouble with the master?" If you have a kind, you will come out, master, I will fight with you! ”
As soon as the words fell, several men in black suddenly appeared around him.
Li Canghai touched his nose and suddenly scolded: "What the master said! Singled out! Can't you understand people? With so many people coming out, do you still have any morality? ”
"Jianghu morality? Of course we said, are you going to pick up a group of us, or are we going to pick you out? One of the men in black sneered.
Li Canghai couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart, it turns out that shameless behavior has been spread since ancient times!
"Don't speak, it seems that you agree with us to single you out?" Several men in black suddenly laughed playfully.
"Wait! If a gentleman doesn't use his words, why does he have to use force to solve things that can be solved by talking? Li Canghai hurriedly said.
"Scared?" The man in black put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "It's okay if you let it go, as long as you leave the cloth bag on your body, I won't embarrass you, how about it?" ”
Li Canghai's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" Why did you hit the idea of my cloth bag? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to know, leave something to spare your life." The man in black said in a cold voice.
Li Canghai made a frightened look, he forcibly squeezed out a wry smile, hugged the cloth bag and said: "A few heroes, this thing is very important to me, can we discuss it." ”
"Okay, then trade your life for it." The man in black was not verbose, flicked the blade in his hand, and sneered.
"Don't, don't, my life is worthless, since the hero has taken a fancy to the cloth bag, then I will hand it over to the hero." Li Canghai grinned, put down the cloth bag, and then stepped back step by step.
Li Canghai quickly withdrew from the encirclement of a few people, and then quickly walked to a corner and hid in the dark to look.
The man in black picked up the cloth bag and examined it, nodded with the others, and disappeared into the darkness.
Li Canghai narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed an unfathomable smile.
As he had guessed, there were at least two forces at work on the idea of the Divine Decree.
After experiencing this, Li Canghai was sure that many mysteries had become clear, and after that, it would depend on who would move faster.
Li Canghai identified the next direction and quickly walked towards Jixiang Building.
Jixianglou was about to close, and several guys were busy tidying up the wine jar and other things.
Li Canghai strode in, and one of the guys recognized him, stepped forward and said, "Li Gongzi, are you still drinking so late?" ”
Li Canghai glanced at him and said lightly: "Let your shopkeeper come out to see me." ”
"It's unfortunate that our shopkeeper went out and hasn't come back yet."
"I'll just wait here until your shopkeeper returns." Li Canghai sat down on a stool, poured out a glass of water, and drank it.
That Xiao Er was also interested, and when he saw He Xiao respectful to him before, he knew that the person in front of him was by no means an ordinary person, so he went to the back kitchen and brought a few side dishes.
"Yo, Master Li, why are you here?"
Before Li Canghai finished his cup of tea, He Xiao's surprised voice came from the door.
He has always mistakenly thought that Li Canghai is an official of Luoyang Prefecture, and he has always been called an 'adult'.
Looking back at He Xiao, Li Canghai's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Shopkeeper He is really busy." Li Canghai drank the tea and smiled slightly.
He Xiao clasped his hands into fists and said with a smile: "Where, where, it's just a trivial matter to do something." Master Li came here late at night, I don't know what to do? ”
Li Canghai put down the teacup and said with a solemn expression: "Shopkeeper He, I suspect that the wine you sell contains deadly toxins, and now I officially inform you, I hope you can cooperate with the government's investigation." ”
He Xiao was stunned for a moment, and he exclaimed in dismay: "My lord, are you saying that the wine I sell is poisonous?" How is this possible! ”
Li Canghai saw him jumping up, so he said: "Don't misunderstand, Shopkeeper He, I don't suspect that you poisoned the wine, but that the wine itself has a problem." ”
He Xiao's face suddenly fell, and he said rather unhappily: "My lord, is there any evidence for what you said?" The shop also sells a lot of alcohol every day, but have anyone ever been poisoned by it? ”
"Of course, there are three of them." Li Canghai stretched out three fingers, shook them in front of him, and said lightly.
"What?"
He Xiao obviously didn't expect that someone would really be poisoned and die, he looked at Li Canghai in amazement, wanting to see if he was joking.
"To be precise, none of these three people died of alcohol poisoning, but their deaths were all related to alcohol, and the water they drank was from Jixiang Building." Li Canghai said seriously.
"No way, your lord must be mistaken. All the sake in our shop is provided by a long-established wine cellar, how can it be poisonous? He Xiao shook his head vigorously.
"You come with me." Li Canghai stood up and took the lead in walking to the backyard.
He Xiao followed Li Canghai and came to the backyard without saying a word.
Li Canghai patted a wine vat and said in a deep voice: "If my guess is correct, there is something wrong with this vat of wine." ”
He Xiao recognized this vat of wine, which was the same vat that Li Canghai had checked before.
"Didn't you say before, sir, that there is nothing wrong with this wine? What's more, you have tasted it too, but if it is poisonous, how can adults not know it? He Xiao asked with a puzzled face.
Li Canghai didn't answer him, and this question was exactly what made him wonder.
If there was a real problem with the wine, why was he okay?
"Shopkeeper He, where did this vat of wine come from?" Li Canghai patted the wine vat and asked rhetorically.
"Luofengji." He Xiao replied.
This answer made Li Canghai feel very surprised, he never thought that this jar of wine was actually produced in Luofengji!
With a strange look on his face, he then asked, "How many other people have bought this jar of wine?" ”
"The water quality of this wine is slightly cool, but the taste is not good, so it is not easy to sell, there should be no five people." He Xiao thought about it for a moment and said with some uncertainty.
Li Canghai pondered for a while, and suddenly said solemnly: "Shopkeeper He, human life is at stake, I hope you can go all out to find someone to buy wine." ”
He Xiao also realized the seriousness of the matter, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will go all out in the future." I still have an impression of the people who bought the wine, and as long as they are still in Luoyang, I will definitely find them. ”
