Chapter 420 Kill me?

Hearing Ji Nuan's words, Xiao Er suddenly smiled and explained: "This is not a pigeon for eating."

"Huh?" Ji Nuan looked at him, her beautiful eyes slightly opened: "Aren't the pigeons in the restaurant for food?"

"Well, this is raised by our shopkeeper." Xiao Er said, turning to the side and letting the upstairs guests come down.

Ji Nuan only thought it was the shopkeeper's hobby, and didn't think too much about it, but Ye Han who was on the side was thoughtful, as if thinking of something.

"That's it." Xiao Er led the two of them to stop in the last room on the second floor, then raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Shopkeeper, someone is looking for you."

"I'm busy, I don't have time to see you!" An impatient male voice sounded from the room, Ji Nuan subconsciously looked at the young man beside him, only to find that there was an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had already guessed this would happen.

Xiao Er didn't expect the shopkeeper to refuse, scratched his head, and raised his voice again: "Shopkeeper, the female customer who disappeared that night came back, they came to discuss compensation, do you want to..."

"Kang Dang~" Before the second brother finished speaking, the closed door suddenly opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man wearing a robe with ingot patterns came out with a gloomy face.

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper,"

The little second brother was frightened by the boss's face, and took a step back involuntarily.

"Where is the person?" The shopkeeper was asking, but his eyes had already automatically settled on the two people with extraordinary appearance beside him.

"Here, they say they're going to lose money, so I..."

"Okay, it's none of your business here, go down and get busy." The shopkeeper interrupted Xiao Er's explanation, and stood at the door, blocking Ye Han's prying eyes:

"The loss of the inn is 100 taels. If the guest officer wants to lose money, just give me the money."

Xiao Er felt that today's shopkeeper was acting weirdly different from usual, so he couldn't help but look back, but he caught him just as soon as he turned his head, and he gave him a fierce look, and he trembled, and hurriedly ran downstairs , I dare not look back and peek again.

"Losing money is just a trivial matter." Ye Han took a step forward calmly, and before the shopkeeper could react, the long sword in his hand suddenly rested on his neck.

There was a slight icy smile on the corner of his mouth: "But why did the person disappear that night? If the shopkeeper doesn't give me a satisfactory answer today, my sword will not agree."

While speaking, he flicked his thumb, and the cold edge came out of its sheath half an inch, barely brushing the hair on the shopkeeper's neck.

The hair fell instantly, and the shopkeeper's face turned blue, frightened.

"Young man, if you have something to say, say it well, say it well." His voice was trembling, he wanted to laugh but couldn't, his face looked very distorted.

"Let's go in first, so as not to scare people."

Ji Nuan was talking beside her with a smile, causing the shopkeeper who originally thought she was going to say something nice to shine in his eyes, and took a step aside dejectedly.

The three of them entered the house, and Ye Han also retracted his sword.

As soon as he sat down, the shopkeeper ran towards the door.

Unexpectedly, just two steps away, the door was "bumped" shut in front of him.

As soon as the shopkeeper's back got cold, he heard a cold young voice from behind: "Does the shopkeeper want to play games with us?"

He froze and turned around, with a habitual smile on his face: "You two misunderstood, I just want Xiao Er to bring some tea."

The shopkeeper smiled and couldn't stop laughing. The boy opposite him didn't say a word, but only looked at him with a pair of deep and cold eyes, which gave him the illusion that he was a dead person.

"Since you don't want to speak, let me ask you." Ye Hanshi's very gentle words made the shopkeeper straighten his back: "What do you want to ask, sir?"

"Ask, how did 'You Feng Lai' get into your hands?"

"What?" The shopkeeper was stunned, why didn't he expect the boy to ask such a question.

"Of course I took it over from the previous owner." His eyes flickered slightly: "The previous owner gave the inn to his daughter and son-in-law when he got old, and I was just hired by the county magistrate to take care of it..."

"Let a thief take care of the restaurant?" Ye Hanshi interrupted the shopkeeper's explanation with one sentence, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes couldn't hide his guard: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ye Han did not speak, but took out a letter from his pocket and threw it at him.

The shopkeeper took it out to read it suspiciously. After reading it, he was completely dumbfounded. When he looked at Ye Han, his eyes were full of shock: "You, why is this letter in your hands?"

"You don't have to worry about how you got here, I just need you to answer..." Ye Hanshi's voice suddenly became harsh: "Did you kill Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, the former boss! That's why you got 'You Fenglai'!"

"You, what nonsense are you talking about! How could I kill Boss Zhang!" The shopkeeper's body shook, and even Ji Nuan could see that something was wrong with his behavior.

When she looked at Ye Han: "Little brother, you said he killed the previous boss? The magistrate's wife's parents?"

Before Ye Han could nod or shake his head, the shopkeeper at the side couldn't help but explain himself: "Don't spit on people, why should I kill them! This shop is clearly handed over to me by them! I..."

"They handed it to you with their own hands? Do you have proof?" Ye Han asked suddenly.

"Of course I have, the title deed of the store is with me... No," the shopkeeper came back to his senses, and looked at Ye Han defensively: "Didn't you two come to compensate me for the loss of the inn? Now you are questioning me." , what do you mean?"

The shopkeeper actually didn't understand why he followed the boy's words out of nowhere and almost fell into his trap. Fortunately, he reacted quickly.

Ye Hanshi did not follow his words, but continued to ask him: "You said in the first sentence that you were hired by the county magistrate to manage the restaurant for his wife, but in the latter sentence it became that the previous owner handed you over to manage the restaurant." , which of your words is true?"

The shopkeeper's chest rose and fell: "Which of my words is true and which one is false, what does it have to do with you? Are you from the government? Do you want to kill me if I tell a lie?"

When the shopkeeper said this, he was actually a little scared in his heart, but he felt that the young man probably didn't have the courage to really kill people.

In fact, Ji Nuan was a little puzzled by what he heard, and couldn't help tugging at the boy's sleeve: "Little brother, didn't we come to ask about my disappearance?" Why did you ask how this store got here?
Hearing Ji Nuan's voice, the hostility on the boy's face subsided slightly, he looked down at her, his voice seemed not so cold:

"Because only by asking clearly, I can be sure who was tipping off the murderer that day."

"What?" Ji Nuan didn't understand, but the face of the tough shopkeeper suddenly changed.
