Daming King of Punishment

"okay!"

The shop waiter responded and ran over here.

"Prepare us something to eat." Bai Zhuo immediately ordered when he saw the shop waiter coming over.Not waiting for the waiter to leave in a hurry, Bai Zhuo asked again: "Second Brother, I saw that your inn is empty, how can you say it is full?"

"Hey! This... It's hard to say, I'd better go and prepare meals for the young master." The waiter actually smiled embarrassedly, turned his head and left without answering Bai Zhuo's words.

"Hey, this is really strange!" Bai Zhuo couldn't help frowning and looked at Song Wuya beside him: "Brother Wuya, what do you think is going on?"

Obviously, there must be something weird about the behavior of Xiaoer Dian.But it's hard to say what's the reason for the weirdness.

"Indeed, there are indeed quite a few rooms in this inn, but the waiter in this inn turned down a few guests." Song Wuya began to analyze: "The shopkeeper is at the counter at the door, so he naturally listened to what the waiter said just now. I can see it. Since I heard it, but didn't say anything, it can be seen that this is what the shopkeeper told me. It seems that someone must have prepared the room in this inn, or it has already been booked out."

"In that case, it's a coincidence for us." Bai Zhuo couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "There are a lot of people here and there, and when we all come in, the inn will be full immediately. I have to see , These rooms are reserved for someone."

"Uncle, do you think it might be the Chu family we met on the way?" Xiaohuan suddenly said in surprise.

Situ Wen immediately denied her guess: "How is this possible? Didn't you hear? This Chu family is the largest family in Huai'an Mansion. Since they are members of the Chu family, they will not live in Huai'an Mansion after returning to Huai'an Mansion." Can you still come to this inn from your own home?"

"Oh, what Miss said is true." Xiaohuan also reacted after hearing this.

"Okay, there's nothing to guess about. It's a normal thing to book a room in this inn. Instead, you guys have become suspicious here." Song Wuya smiled helplessly and shook his head.

After saying this, he immediately said again: "The Chu family and his party don't know that they have entered this Huai'an city?"

When they left Shanyang County, although Song Wuya and the others were in front, they were delayed a lot in the villages outside the city.Shanyang County was originally only half a day away from Huai'an Mansion, but when they came to the village outside the city of Huai'an Mansion, the family members in that village said they hadn't seen anyone else get up.

Although this matter had nothing to do with them, Song Wuya always felt that the members of the Chu family were not simple, at least such a large family could always attract the attention of others.

"Who's right?" Bai Zhuo shook his head, "Brother Wu Ya, let's not bother with the Chu family, anyway, it has nothing to do with us."

"That's right!" Song Wuya sighed.

After a few people chatted for a while, the shop waiter brought the food.The few people who were not picky in the first place started to eat heartily now that they were hungry.

It was still early, and their meal was not breakfast or lunch, and lunch was not lunch.When it's not time for meals, the cooking in the back kitchen is a bit simpler. Fortunately, they are not so picky.

"Brother Wu Ya, it's still early, so let's take a look on the street. Anyway, I slept well yesterday, and I'm not tired today. It just so happens that we also inquire about the plague from the local people."

After eating, Bai Zhuo immediately got up to propose.

Even if Bai Zhuo didn't say that, Song Wuya had such a plan.

"Well, let's go. I just ate something and digested it."

With that said, the group left the inn and came to the streets of Huai'an Mansion.

Since the group of them entered the city in the morning, the bustling scene on the street has not stopped until now.Although the scene was lively, it was strange.Except for the disaster victims who were blocked outside the gate of the city, when Song Wuya and the others came, there were no other people.On the contrary, in this Huai'an mansion, all the street vendors, large and small, were crowded with people.

"There are quite a lot of people in Huai'an Mansion! I don't see many people from outside!"

For this point, Song Wuya is quite keen.After all, the sharp contrast between such a lively scene and the outside of the city made Song Wuya feel that there must be something wrong here.

Although they came here because there was a problem here, but this problem is not the one they see in front of them.The question in front of them was completely opposite to the plague they were investigating.If there really was a plague outside, how could the people in the city not be in a state of panic, but live in such a peaceful and lively manner?

"Brother Wu Ya, do you want to say that there is something weird here?" Bai Zhuo could see what Song Wuya was thinking, and immediately asked.

Song Wuya smiled slightly: "That's natural, can't it be weird? The victims outside the city said that there was a plague, but the people inside the city didn't seem to know about it at all."

"Then we're still in the same place? Ask someone who likes to talk?" Bai Zhuo looked at Song Wuya with a slight smile, and pointed forward.

Following his gestures, there is a teahouse not far ahead.

The teahouse was definitely not an unfamiliar place to Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, but if they wanted to inquire about any news in the city, it must be in the teahouse.

"Since you have said so, Brother Bai, let's go into this teahouse and have a cup of tea. Anyway, it's been a while, and the things in this stomach should be digested and digested. Just fill him up with some more." Song Wu Ya smiled and walked towards the teahouse.

In the teahouse, there is a mix of good and bad people from all walks of life. It can be said that there are all kinds of people. It is a good place to inquire about news.

When they came to the door of the teahouse, Song Wuya and the others walked inside with smiles on their faces.

As soon as they arrived at the door, before the four of them went in, they looked at the people in the teahouse, and they all rushed out of the teahouse all of a sudden.

Song Wuya, Bai Zhuo and the others didn't react for a while, and they were rushed to the street by the people in front of them.

"What's going on?" The scene in front of them suddenly made everyone nervous.

These people ran outside in such a hurry, could it be that something went wrong in the teahouse?

"Brother, what's going on inside? Why are everyone running out? What happened?" Song Wuya hurriedly stopped a person and asked that person.

The man pushed Song Wuya away: "Get out of the way quickly, I don't have time to talk to you, Mrs. Chu is back, I'm going to pick up money."

After throwing down such a sentence, the man ran away immediately, leaving four people with astonished faces.

"Just now he said that Mrs. Chu!"

Everyone could hear clearly, and the man understood what the man said, Mrs. Chu is back.

But there is one thing that they can't figure out.

"This Mrs. Chu is back, why is he going to pick up money? What does this mean?"

"It is estimated that Mrs. Chu wants to give alms."

Song Wuya thought about it, and there was only this possibility.

"Wu Ya, let's go and see how grand this old lady Chu is. It seems that everyone in the city is moved by her!"

Situ Wen paid attention to the pedestrians on the street. Almost all of them headed towards the gate of the city. Some shops even closed their doors and followed the crowd towards the gate of the city without even doing business.

"Go, go and have a look." Song Wuya nodded, and the four of them immediately headed towards the gate of the city.

They had already met this old Mrs. Chu on the way here, so this must be the group of people.

The place at the gate of the city was already overcrowded, it was really a sea of ​​people.

The people who were blocked on the street far away, all of you pushing and shoving wanted to go to the city gate.

There was a lot of noise around, everyone was shouting and arguing.

Song Wuya didn't want to crowd into the street with them, he turned his head and saw that the inn where they stayed was next to them.Immediately greeted the other three people to enter the inn.When I came to the second floor of the inn, I leaned on the railing and looked down, just in time to have a panoramic view of the street scene.

Outside the crowd, there was a knocking of a gong from nowhere.After the sound of the gong, the crowd fell silent for a moment.

The crowd suddenly surged again, and the middle of the street automatically gave way, only to see a servant in purple clothes, holding a gong high up, beating continuously.Behind him, there were servants who were also dressed in purple, carrying a lot of large wooden boxes in groups of two, walked through the path made by the crowd, and headed towards the city gate.

Seeing this scene, Bai Zhuo couldn't help gasping: "My God, could it be possible that all these boxes are filled with money? That's a lot of money. Could it be that Mrs. Chu really spent so much money that she would Do you want to give the money in this box to these people?"
