Chapter 1381: The Outsider Killed Someone

After eating, Chen Guanlou prepared to stay in the town for one night, add some supplies, and then set off for the Great Wilderness.

As a result, the waiter told him there were no rooms left.

"The caravan is not leaving today; they will stay in the town tonight. They have booked all the empty rooms in the town. Guest, if you want to stay, you can only continue forward. You will see a village by evening, with a few dozen households. Just find the house that is the biggest and best, and say it was introduced by the Yingbin Restaurant, and you will definitely be able to stay."

Chen Guanlou nodded in understanding. "With hundreds of people in the caravan, can the small town accommodate them?"

"Certainly not! So many are sleeping on the floor, and some even have to live in tents."

"Do they pay?"

"Guest, you are joking. They are law-abiding citizens, of course they pay."

Chen Guanlou laughed along. "Law-abiding citizens, hmm, indeed law-abiding citizens!"

He reached into his pocket, but there were no copper coins. He simply took a small piece of broken silver and handed it to the waiter. "A tip for you."

The waiter was overjoyed and immediately laughed until he couldn't see his teeth. "Many thanks, guest. May you get rich, guest!"

"Let's all get rich together!"

The waiter left happily, not forgetting to secretly bite the silver to see if it was real. He was even happier!

Chen Guanlou continued to drink tea, preparing to rest for a while before setting off.

Several unkind gazes fell on him, as if looking at a sucker.

He smiled and looked at those gazes, even raising his teacup to toast the other party.

Clearly, his actions left them stunned.

Was he stupid, or was he fearless?

Many people silently placed their hands on the hilts of their knives, having an urge to jump up and kill at any time.

Among them, a bearded man wearing a wild animal fur coat snorted coldly, and the others loosened their tight grips on their knife hilts.

Immediately after, a young man with a clean face who looked like a scholar came to Chen Guanlou. "This brother, it looks like you have come from afar. Our proprietor would like to invite you for a drink; please do us the honor."

Chen Guanlou looked at the bearded proprietor wearing the fur coat.

"I've finished eating, I'm not drinking."

"Brother, you are joking."

Chen Guanlou smiled half-heartedly. "Do I look like I'm joking?"

As soon as the words fell, the wine cup that hadn't been cleared away suddenly turned into powder.

The young man stared, his face instantly turning pale, his eyes filled with terror and unease.

"You..."

"Go back, and tell your proprietor properly. The road is wide, each walks half; if the well water doesn't interfere with the river water, both sides can get along happily."

"Yes! You are right! Sorry to disturb you! Goodbye!"

The young man was very observant, his attitude was also very respectful, and he bowed and retreated, hurriedly returning to his proprietor's side, whispering in his ear, his eyes frequently looking at Chen Guanlou, but filled with caution.

After the young man finished speaking, a moment later, those unkind gazes all turned away, and they continued to bury their heads in eating and drinking. It was as if nothing had happened, and they hadn't noticed a stranger in the restaurant.

Chen Guanlou smiled in understanding. This is excellent!

He didn't want to cause extra trouble or start a massacre.

After all, they were all fellow countrymen of Pure Yang Zhenren; if you don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face.

If Pure Yang Zhenren knew he was so 'pure and kind', he would definitely be grateful to him and waive the 8,000-tael debt.

Hmm!

The matter is settled!

Money power is omnipotent.

Chen Guanlou took out money, and the residents of the town scrambled to vacate a room for him.

He chose the biggest and cleanest room and had a good wash.

Since leaving the capital, it was his first hot water wash, very comfortable.

At night, lying on the roof looking at the stars, he coldly watched batch after batch of 'guests' come to his room, rummaging through boxes and cabinets. He didn't doubt for a second why he wasn't sleeping in the room.

He just watched, didn't move, and even had a smile on his face.

It was truly a border town with 'simple folk customs', and law-abiding citizens were everywhere.

He even saw several half-grown children sneak into his room to rummage for valuables.

He looked at the starry sky until the sky was slightly bright. He packed up and continued on his way.

When he walked a few miles out of the town, a howl came from the town.

Someone died!

More than one died!

They were all some of the people who had turned into thieves in the night. Including several people in the caravan.

Suddenly, more than a dozen people died, and the town fell into panic and boiling.

No one reported to the officials!

And there were no officials!

But an official lived in the town.

Saying official, it was actually a constable.

The constable carefully examined the bodies of the deceased and came to a conclusion: "Disperse, disperse, it's estimated they ate something bad."

"Are you kidding? More than a dozen unrelated people, eating different things, can die at the same time."

The constable looked at the person speaking, and after a moment of silence, said: "Even if they were killed by someone, so what. You can't afford to offend the murderer. If you really want to know the truth, you might as well ask their companions what they did last night."

As soon as the words fell, the scene was silent.

Everyone present knew clearly that the outsider had a lot of money, and many people went to the outsider's room last night to get rich. It was unclear how much wealth they got, but they lost their lives. It is estimated that the wealth was taken back by the outsider.

"That outsider!"

Someone with a missing brain string broke the truth.

"How dare he? How did he do it? I was guarding the door, and no one came in or out."

"Shut up!"

"Don't say it anymore!"

"Encountered a tough nut."

"I told you, that outsider is not simple, he is a martial artist, his cultivation is unfathomable, why didn't you listen."

"Daring to go to the Great Wilderness alone, what kind of good person can he be. Are you stupid!"

"Deserve to die! Stealing things without looking at who the other party is. Really think you can do whatever you want on your own territory."

"The outsider is hateful! Just went into his room once, didn't steal anything, and he killed. This is called indiscriminate killing of innocent people! Must find him and kill him to vent anger."

"Where to find him, the person is gone."

"Kill him to vent anger? What nonsense are you talking about. I said, that person is a martial artist with profound cultivation; it seems you didn't listen to a word."

The waiter sneaked out of the crowd, his heart beating a little fast.

He prepared to go out and hide for two days, and wait for everyone to vent their anger before coming out to work.

Yesterday, he talked so much to the outsider, it was very likely he would become a target for venting anger.

He didn't expect that the polite and generous guest was so powerful, killing more than a dozen people without leaving a trace. If he had known, he would definitely have taken the other as his master.

What a pity!

He hoped that when the other returned from the Great Wilderness, he would also stop in the town. At that time, he would beg the other to take him away from here. Even if he didn't take him, it would be fine, as long as he agreed to let him follow.

The town was chaotic because of the dead, some hiding in rooms, some going crazy on the street.

The caravan originally planned to leave today, but did not delay the plan because of the dead. They buried the bodies on the spot, and taking advantage of the good weather, they finally set off an hour later than planned, heading towards the wealthy Jiangnan. ===== CHAPTER 1382 =====
