Bishop's Retirement

Chapter 44: An Eventful Autumn?

Hearing the figure's words, Wang Ye turned his head to look.

The face that was originally full of cheap smiles immediately turned into flattering smiles.

This figure is none other than Zhao Butou of the government office.

"Yo, shopkeeper Wang's..."

Zhao Butou walked into the Zuixian Building, looked at the bare gate, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, your Zuixian Building has even demolished the door panel?"

"Hi!"

Hearing Catcher Zhao's words, Wang Ye came out from the counter: "This door panel has been exposed to the wind and sun, and it's a bit rotten. Why don't I tear it down and replace it with two new ones!"

"Instead, it's Catcher Zhao..."

He casually found a reason to prevaricate Zhao Butou, Wang Ye changed his words and said with a smile: "You haven't seen me for a few days, where did you go on business?"

"Forget it!"

Hearing Wang Ye's question, Catcher Zhao found a table and sat down: "These days are really uneasy. Not long after the Yuelai Inn burned down, Jin Mancang, the shopkeeper of the Shun Pawn Shop, also died at home that day..."

"Jin Mancang is dead?"

Hearing Zhao Butou's words, Wang Ye was startled: "Impossible? He just took a concubine a few days ago, why did he die?"

"Why not?"

Looking at the shocked Wang Ye, Catcher Zhao unconsciously lowered his voice: "Just this morning, Jin Mancang died on his bed..."

"Hey, I just said it's okay to have a concubine..."

Hearing this, Wang Ye shook his head and sighed: "No matter how good your body is, you can't just toss about it casually. After all, Li Sanduo's body that eats, touches, and shoots a lot is not something everyone can have..."

"But having said that, she thinks that little lady is fierce enough. Jin Mancang spent a lot of time in the green forest when he was young, and practiced hard kung fu all over. She can actually squeeze him dry."

"Qian Mangfu from Quenlifang is right, there are only exhausted cows and no plowed fields..."

Between the words, Wang Ye murmured thoughtfully to himself.

"Where do you want to go?"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Zhao Catcher looked at Wang Ye blankly: "Jin Mancang was hacked to death on the bed!"

!!!

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ye was startled: "He was hacked to death!?"

"That's not..."

Seeing Wang Ye's surprised expression, Zhao Butou said: "The murderer is a master. Although Jin Mancang has long since retired to the green forest, he still has hard skills. Ordinary people are really no match for him."

"But this time, he was beheaded with a knife. Not only that, the steel knife he used to fight the enemy was broken with [-] gaps..."

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ye was startled.

There were [-] gaps, but his head was cut off with a knife.

This shows that Jin Mancang tried his best to resist when he was dying, but he still lost to the opponent and was killed on the spot with a single knife!

"So this is ah…"

After being slightly shocked, Wang Ye scratched his head and said, "I thought he died on the bed because of singing every night..."

"Treasurer Wang..."

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Zhao Tuotou pointed to his head: "I've been to places like Yihong Courtyard a lot, it's not just the body that's empty..."

"I don't know if his body is empty or not, but I know his brain is definitely not empty"

At this moment, Bai Luhan passed by behind Zhao Tutou, and said, "You will never lose money if you plan carefully. Chicken thief is at its extreme!"

"Hey, you little girl, on the first day you came here, you were neither big nor small!"

Hearing Bai Luhan's words, Wang Ye's eyes widened: "Go to the backyard and wash your clothes!"

cut!
Bai Luhan rolled her eyes and walked straight towards the backyard.

"Shopkeeper Wang, yes."

Glancing at Bai Luhan, Zhao Catcher said meaningfully: "I haven't seen the inn for two days and there is a new recruit, and the guy he recruited is quite smart, I'm afraid he has bad intentions!"

Between the words, Zhao Catcher showed a smirk: "Could it be that you are tired of going to Yihong Courtyard and want to continue?"

"It's just a crazy girl from the countryside, how can there be a blond and blue-eyed Maomei from Yihong Courtyard?"

Regarding Zhao Catcher's words, Wang Ye said with a smile: "Furthermore, Xu Xian has a woman in charge, how can visiting a brothel be as enjoyable as it is?"

"Hahaha"

Seeing the smile on Wang Ye's face, Catcher Zhao laughed loudly: "You can see clearly!"

"That is!"

Wang Ye nodded and responded.

"Fat intestine noodles are here!"

At this time, Aji put a bowl of steaming fat sausage noodles in front of Zhao Butou: "Fat sausage noodles, put more peppers, Zhao Butou, take it easy!"

"Okay, I'm hungry"

Looking at the fat intestine noodles in front of him, Zhao Butou said.

He picked up the chopsticks, took a big bite, and said, "Well, don't talk about it, this Chen Chong's cooking skills are really amazing. The size of this fatty sausage is just right, and the taste of the stew is just right. I'll just take this bite." , you can eat it every day!"

Saying that, Catcher Zhao took another big mouthful: "It's a pity that I have eaten this time, and I have to wait a few days before coming again!"

"How many more days do you have to wait?"

Regarding Catcher Zhao's words, Wang Ye said: "If you want to eat it, you can eat it. With Zhao Catcher's first month's salary, you still can't afford a bowl of fat intestine noodles that costs a lot of money?"

"It's not about the money!"

Catching his head while eating noodles, Zhao Butou said: "It's been a troubled time recently, not only are there frequent murders, but also the people in the martial arts are not living in peace. It is said that a large number of people in the rivers and lakes have been frequenting recently, heading straight for Jinling City..."

"After today, the martial law in Jinling City will be strengthened. At that time, there will be three inspections a day. It will be difficult to eat a bowl of fat intestine noodles!"

Saying that, Zhao Catcher picked up the big bowl in front of him and ate it cleanly.

"A large number of people from the rivers and lakes went straight to Jinling City?!"

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ye was stunned, and asked, "What happened again?"

Although things have been going on in Jinling City recently, it is generally considered stable.

Although a large number of martial arts fighters competed for the fire monkey before, the place of the competition was outside the city, so the impact was not great.

Furthermore, both the fire monkey and the gods have left, and this group of Jiang Hu people should have dispersed like birds and beasts. Why did they gather in Jinling again?
"Who knows to go..."

Zhao Tutou wiped the oil on his mouth, and said: "These martial arts people are like flies, they will burrow wherever there is fishy smell, who knows what happened this time..."

"Take care of that Aji under your command, and tell him not to get involved in this bad thing. Jianghu affairs are extremely troublesome. Once he is contaminated, he will be covered with a smell that cannot be washed off..."

"Okay, I'm leaving!"

After finishing speaking, Catcher Zhao hiccupped, put down a few large coins, and walked out of Zuixian Tower.

Looking at Zhao Butou's back, Wang Ye's eyes were full of worry.

For some reason, he felt faintly uneasy about the sudden death of Jin Mancang and the gathering of people from the world.

"Boss, what's the smell?"

As soon as Zhao Butou left, Aji asked with a big face.

"You are fishy!"

Hearing this, Wang Ye said angrily: "I know how to ask in a day, and I'm going to clear the table soon. How can I eat when the guests come?"
