The shopkeeper still recalled with fear: "At that time, a group of military masters suddenly came, and in desperation, the little monkey and I could only move the bodies of the dozen people to the storage room in the back kitchen, and then let the little monkey go upstairs to pack the luggage of those people, and I served the group of military masters." ”

"As soon as those military masters came in, they first asked me viciously why I came out so late, and I said that I had just moved wine in the back kitchen. Fortunately, when I was serving wine to those dozen people earlier, I accidentally spilled some on my body, and those military masters didn't ask much about it, but asked me if anyone had come to stay in the hotel today. ”

"I felt that something was wrong in my heart at the time, so I didn't mention anything about those dozen people, and complained to those military masters about how difficult it was to do business recently. Then, they asked me why I was the only one in the store, and I told them about the guy in the store. After asking me a few questions, the military masters seemed to dispel their suspicions, so they didn't ask any more questions, and asked me to serve them some wine. ”

"Those military masters were drinking and chatting, and I heard them waiting at the counter that they seemed to mention some gang of roving bandits, who had intercepted a batch of gold, silver and jewels in the past two days. I wanted to tell the truth to those military masters, but when I thought that I was also a murderer anyway, and I had lied to those military masters before, who knows what they would do to me when they heard the truth......"

As he spoke, the shopkeeper suddenly saw Mu Xiaojiu's playful eyes looking at him, and then said helplessly: "Moreover, I also thought of that batch of gold and silver jewelry at that time, and I was blinded by lard for a while, thinking about whether to give this batch of jewelry down." ”

Seeing that Mu Xiaojiu's gaze turned to normal again, the shopkeeper secretly complained in his heart, and he also understood that he was afraid that he would not be able to deceive this young man, so he said everything frankly: "Those military masters didn't stay in my store for too long, and after a while, they probably drank two or three bars, and they left." It was already the middle of the night, and seeing that the sky was about to break in another hour, I and the little monkey who ran down from the upper floor were about to transport the corpses out in a small cart, when suddenly two more people with swords came. The little monkey and I secretly complained in our hearts, and wanted to refuse them, but the two people in the rivers and lakes didn't look good, and before we could say anything about refusal, they first pulled out their swords and shook them at us. They entered the store to take advantage of the time when the military master was gone, and we were not yet closing, and at the same time forcibly took away two jars of wine from our side, and chatted while drinking, and chatted until dawn. ”

"By that time, the townspeople had started to walk around, and how could the little monkey and I dare to move those corpses in broad daylight? But it's not good to hide in the storage room, it's a small place, and the weather has been a little hot recently, so the corpse in the storage room is estimated to give birth to a corpse smell, and the food in the storage room will smell like something. So, the little monkey and I hid their corpses, hid them...... Under the bed, a lot of rotten moldy wood was stuffed into it, trying to hide the smell. ”

When the shopkeeper said this, he glanced at Mu Xiaojiu with that panicked look, and then said cautiously: "Official, I know that murder is a crime, and I also know that it is not right to hide treasures and deceive the military master of the official family. This is indeed a foolish thing that I was blinded by lard for a while. You can do whatever you want with me, kill me or imprison me, I just want to beg you. This matter is my fault from beginning to end, I, I asked the little monkey to help, it was my idea to kill people, it was my idea to deceive those military masters, it was also my idea to hide those treasures and hide the corpse in the room. I beg you, don't embarrass the little monkey, can you? The little monkey has been an orphan since he was a child, without a father or mother, and when he was seven or eight years old, I picked him up from the street and asked him to give me a hand, and it has been almost ten years now. This child is very simple, very obedient, and very good to people, even the residents of the village and town like her, and there are people who want to tell him about family affairs......"

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper choked his throat all of a sudden, and he couldn't go on. He walked out of the counter, and then faced Mu Xiaojiu, bent his knees and knelt down directly, "My lord, I beg you, you have a lot of them, don't embarrass the little monkey!" I'm kowtowing to you here! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper really kowtowed to Mu Xiaojiu.

Mu Xiaojiu frowned, turned sideways to avoid the shopkeeper's kowtow, and the little monkey on the stairs who was pointed at by Li Xiaobai with a sword actually knelt down and kowtowed to Mu Xiaojiu when he saw the shopkeeper, and suddenly his eyes turned red, and he ran downstairs without dodging. It is also thanks to Li Xiaobai's fast collection of his sword, otherwise, the little monkey is estimated to crash directly into his sword and be poked by the dragon sword in his hand.

When he got downstairs, the little monkey didn't care about the others, and rushed directly to the shopkeeper's side, desperately trying to stop the old shopkeeper who was still kowtowing and knocking the wooden floor.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you." In the eyes of everyone except the old shopkeeper, the little monkey and Mei Chaofeng, Mu Xiaojiu slowly spoke, but said a very unkind word. "Since I have assumed the identity of the imperial envoy, I must do things according to the consistent rules of my identity. Merit should be rewarded, and fault should be punished. Merit and demerit cannot be offset by each other. ”

As soon as he heard Mu Xiaojiu's words, the shopkeeper suddenly fell to the ground with a dead face, but the little monkey was completely indifferent to this, just struggling to support the shopkeeper's body.

"Shopkeeper, let me ask you, who personally inflicted the poison in the wine? Don't try to fool me, you know that's useless. Mu Xiaojiu pulled a stool from the side, and then sat down.

Ming Zhi, who came with Ning Chengfo, looked at Mu Xiaojiu, her eyes were full of disbelief, she wanted to step forward angrily to ask Mu Xiaojiu, but was pulled by Ning Chengfo. Afterwards, Ming Zhi heard Ning Zhifo say in her ear: "Don't worry, Xiao Jiu will not let us down." If you don't believe me, look at the others. ”

Ming Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then took the lead in looking at Hu Xiaoxian and Sun Xiaoya, who had been chatting with her for a few days, but saw that both of them were smiling, as if they didn't feel the cruelty in Mu Xiaojiu's previous words.
