"My thrush is gone."

    "Maybe the previous song is its last sound. It should want to see me for the last time. Unfortunately, I didn''t cherish this opportunity. I ignored it."

    The shopkeeper''s tone was deep and he struggled to finish these words. The whole man sat down in a chair. His face changed dramatically in an instant, as if, in a twinkling of an eye, he had been seriously ill.

    Seeing the performance of the other party, Huang Gong immediately said, "everyone has birth, old age and death, not to mention a bird?"

    "I still have a yellow billed thrush. How about giving it to the shopkeeper?"

    Hearing the words of Huang Gong, the shopkeeper''s limp body on the chair reluctantly stretched out an arm and supported his upper body. In a tired tone, he said, "a gentleman doesn''t take people''s love. Your thrush is also raised by you through thousands of hardships. How can I say take it?"

    "What''s more, I''m in a bad mood because my thrush is dead."

    Speaking of this, the shopkeeper couldn''t help sighing, then turned to Xia Yu and said, "girl, it''s not that I don''t want to tell you about that woman."

    "In fact, when I went back to the backyard just now, I already had a clue and heard a lot of things."

    "However, such a thing happened today. I''m really exhausted. I just want to be clean. I don''t want to say anything else."

    "But you wait until I calm down tonight. Tomorrow, when I calm down, I will go to the door in person to answer your doubts?"

    Hearing the shopkeeper''s voice, Xia Yu frowned slightly.

    This incident just happened in the evening. At this time, the earlier she got the news, the less chance the woman would notice, and the less chance she would fly away, or be killed or destroyed.

    Now, for a thrush bird, the shopkeeper asked the people to wait another day before telling them the answer. Xia Yu was a little unhappy and couldn''t help but say, "does the shopkeeper think we are not sincere enough and give too little money?"

    "Shopkeeper, you make a price. As long as I can afford it, I will give it!"

    In order to pay Qingxue and other younger martial sisters, Xia Yu can fight desperately, not to mention something outside her body.

    But hearing Xia Yu''s words, Huang Gong immediately knew that it was bad. I''m afraid Xia Yu would annoy the shopkeeper.

    Sure enough, Xia Yu''s words just started. The shopkeeper couldn''t help but hum coldly. Then you looked colder. Xia Yu said coldly: "I always thought that people can understand each other."

    "It''s like I understand your urgent mood to find that woman, so I''m very tired today, and I didn''t refuse your inquiry. Fan Er directly and frankly told you that I''ve sounded something about that woman."

    "On the contrary, I''m very unhappy that my thrush is dead, but you don''t seem to understand my mood. Instead, you think I''m taking the opportunity to make trouble and raise the price."

    "Although I am a greedy man, a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely. I am not a fickle villain for money."

    Hearing the shopkeeper''s words, Xia Yu''s face changed slightly. He knew that what he had just said was heavy, so he took tea instead of wine, apologized to the other party, and then said, "since the shopkeeper''s today is not very convenient, we don''t need to bother the shopkeeper to come to the door tomorrow. We''ll come back tomorrow morning and bother him in person."

    "Please forgive me for the trouble, shopkeeper. Don''t mind."

    After listening to the rain, the shopkeeper just nodded his head without expression and didn''t speak. Then he directly took the tea cup on the table to show off the guests.

    Huang Gong''s subordinates sighed when they saw Xia Yu sitting on the seat, so they couldn''t help pulling her sleeve and motioned that they should leave first and wait until tomorrow morning.

    Although Xia Yu is generally unwilling, he also understands the painstaking efforts of Huang Gong.

    If he really persists here, I''m afraid the shopkeeper will lose his temper and won''t even give himself the chance to tell himself tomorrow.

    You know, this guy is not so tough.

    In those days, as the head of a small city, he was directly in charge of his sheriff. Some people made mistakes and came to him in person to ask him for permission. As a result, he just didn''t say yes. He also said that he had posted all kinds of evil deeds of the other party all over the city so that the people in the city could pass them on to each other.

    If the sheriff wants him to be open, he can ask the people in Ken city. As long as none of the people in the city refused, he directly released the sheriff''s subordinates without saying a word.

    The sheriff knew that the other party was afraid that he would find accommodation, let his subordinates escape their guilt, and directly disclose their guilt to the public, so that the sheriff had nowhere to go even if he pleaded.

    Finally, the sheriff''s subordinates were killed.

    The sheriff was angry and went directly to the shopkeeper''s noble man to comment. The shopkeeper''s noble man laughed and asked the shopkeeper to bow his head and make amends to the sheriff.

    Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper held his head high in front of the sheriff and shouted uncompromisingly: "your subordinates have many sins. I''ll make them public and kill them according to the law. The people applaud and rejoice for the people they persecute. What''s wrong with me?"

    The noble man just slapped and laughed.

    Then, fearing that he would be hated by the sheriff, he targeted him everywhere, forced him by the neck and asked him to bow his head and admit his mistake.

    The result was that the shopkeeper''s neck was pressed by others, but he never bent.

    Seeing this, the noble man couldn''t help but withdraw his hand and said to the sheriff on one side: "this man is a bumpy head. He''d rather bend than bend. I think it''s easy for me to cut off his head now, but it''s as difficult as heaven to want him to bow his head and admit his mistake. Why don''t you try?"

    The sheriff didn''t like to say anything when he saw that the noble man was protecting the shopkeeper everywhere.

    Later, I treated the shopkeeper equally, and it seemed that I had completely forgotten the killing of my subordinates. Even dignitaries cheered when they heard about the sheriff, praising the sheriff for his magnanimity, open-minded, uninhibited and informal. He was the talent of the prime minister.

    Only the shopkeeper heard the noble man''s evaluation. He was silent for a long time and sighed, but he didn''t say a word. The shadow seemed to be worried about the noble man''s situation.

    Sure enough, when the noble man died, it was the sheriff who jumped out first and killed the noble people. At the same time, the shopkeeper was also hated by the other party and asked for instructions directly to kill him quickly!

    Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn''t help sighing.

    She really can''t imagine what happened to the shopkeeper, a city Lord who was once heroic, fearless of power and made decisions for the people, that changed his mood and became such a fat little man who loved money and birds.

    She didn''t ask the shopkeeper, because she knew that even if she asked, the other party would not answer her.

    Who doesn''t have a few secrets in his heart that are ready to stick to all his life and bring into the grave?

    Finally, although Xia Yu was puzzled, she left the return hall with the people.

    The shopkeeper saw Xia Yu leave the return hall, but he didn''t take away the small box full of gold ingots on the table at his hand.

    A struggling face appeared on the shopkeeper''s face, but the next moment, his eyes became calm and rational. He suddenly said to Xia Yu, who was about to leave the return hall, "girl, you forgot to bring your things."

    Xia Yu, whose one foot had stepped out of the gate of the return hall, was slightly stunned when he heard his words. Then he turned his head, looked at the shopkeeper in surprise with one eye and said, "I didn''t forget. Just put your things here. Anyway, we have to ask the shopkeeper tomorrow, so we don''t have to take it so much trouble."

    When the shopkeeper heard Xia Yu''s words, he couldn''t help laughing bitterly and said, "you little girl is very generous. Do you know that the gold ingot in your small box is almost equal to my savings for building coffins for most of my life."

    "You''re not afraid. I took your small box of gold ingots directly, and then flew away so that when you came tomorrow, you could throw yourself into the air?"

    Hearing the other party''s words, Xia Yu did not hesitate and said, "the shopkeeper is a man who has been the head of a city and has been respected as Qingtian. I don''t believe that such a person will break his word, open his mouth and deceive me."

    "If people like you can cheat, I don''t know who else I can trust."

    After hearing Xia Yu''s words, the shopkeeper suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, said "the past is gone, don''t mention it again", and then ignored Xia Yu and others, stood up directly, carried his hands, and walked towards the backyard.

    I don''t know why. Looking at each other''s back, Xia Yu felt that the blue sky, who dared to be the first in the world, to be the master for thousands of people and not afraid of power, seemed to come back all of a sudden.

    After that, Xia Yu discussed with Huang Gong''s command and decided to lead the people directly to the nearby place of the incident.

    After a short walk, people have seen two manors covering a very wide area.

    When passing by the manor gate, summer rain fell. Weeds grew in the stone cracks on the steps in front of the door. On the tile surface above the gatehouse, there were also lush weeds.

    Even inside the half open vermilion door, there were many weeds eagerly sticking out their heads from the manor, as if they were curious peeping at the passers-by.

    Obviously, these two manors, I don''t know why, after they were built, they didn''t seem to be used, so they were directly idle by Huang Gong.

    Xia Yu looked at the scene at the gate of the manor passing by and said in his heart: "no wonder that group of people could sneak into Huang Gong''s house so easily. They killed Qingxue and others, and made such a big noise, but they were not found by anyone in Huang Gong''s house!"
