The middle-aged man knew very well that Yue Kang and the others were not easy to mess with. Facing Yue Kang's strength, he cried sadly, grinned his lips bitterly, and said, "I really have never seen that girl. .¡±
"You still haven't told the truth?" Yue Kang's eyes were cold. He wanted to be a villain now. If the other party really didn't know that he had wronged him, Yue Kang would not bully him in vain and would definitely compensate him. But Yue Kang I always felt that Ping'er's disappearance was inseparable from this shop.
Yue Kang didn't need to make any movements, just a cold look, which made the middle-aged man tremble a little with fright, "Young Master, I beg you, I really don't know."

There was a crisp sound, the sound of wood breaking, and the door plaque with the historical rings broke in response, and was suddenly folded in half. Yue Kang threw the broken door plaques on the ground, patted the dust on his hands, and felt coldly Said: "Want money or life, you still have a chance to choose, I don't want to listen to nonsense anymore."
"My door plaque" When the middle-aged man saw the door plaque split into two pieces by Yue Kang's palm, he shouted with anger and fear on his face.
"Don't worry, my uncle will never use any unruly methods like putting the meat in a frying pan, scraping the flesh, or pulling out the muscles and bones when he tortures someone." Xiao Shun stood up and threatened appropriately.
Nangong Linlin held hands together, and there was no change in expression on her face, but she gave off a cold aura.
The middle-aged man was obviously frightened, and he was sweating profusely. Finally, his mind collapsed, "Okay, okay, I said, I said, I'm just an ordinary family who makes money by fortune telling. After I say it, I hope you don't say it." I said so, otherwise the little one will definitely be killed." The middle-aged man obviously had scruples in his heart.
"Okay, don't worry. I won't tell anyone. I also promise you that no one will dare to trouble you." Yue Kang said seriously. As the leader of the Beggar Clan, he does have a certain meaning in what he said. confidence.
Then the middle-aged man told what happened. It turned out that a few mornings ago, an old man with white hair and beard suddenly came to him and said that he wanted to rent his shop temporarily. At first, the middle-aged man refused. The shop was owned by his ancestors. How can the uploaded files be rented to others casually?
But the other party said that he would only use it for one day and gave him twenty taels of silver for rent. This made the middle-aged man tempted. You must know that he couldn't earn twenty taels of silver in a month. Giving him a one-day rental would be equivalent to exploding. After earning twenty taels of silver, the middle-aged man agreed to the old man under the temptation of money.
He still hasn¡¯t forgotten the cold tone of the old man yesterday morning, saying that he can¡¯t tell anyone about renting a shop, not even his family. If he tells it, hum
The old man snorted coldly, and the middle-aged man saw a dozen big men rushing out of the door, all of them with evil looks on their faces. It was so scary that the middle-aged man's legs trembled with fear, and he promised that he would not say anything. go out.
The middle-aged man was speculating about the other party¡¯s background and what he was going to do by renting out the shop he had run for many years. Moreover, it was so mysterious. Could it be that he was committing murder and arson in the shop? Thinking of this, the middle-aged man broke into a cold sweat. If that were the case, he would really lose more than he gained. But then he thought about what he could do if he didn't agree. The other party obviously had a lot of background and was not someone he could provoke.
Perhaps out of curiosity, the middle-aged man did not go far and stayed in an alley not far away. He knew that his shop could be clearly seen there, and it was extremely secretive and difficult to be discovered, so he stayed there. In the alley, I observed the situation of my own shop.
But he looked for a long time and didn't see anything. After the old man entered the shop, the dozen big men left. The old man didn't come out of the shop for a whole morning. Everything was so calm. His shop has been so peaceful lately. Business has been very slow in the past two years, and there are almost no people coming to tell fortunes or interpret fortunes. Maybe this is related to his Taoism!
During the period, several guests came, and the middle-aged people guessed that they were fortune-tellers. Not long after the guests entered, they all walked out with cheerful faces. The middle-aged people were surprised and didn't know what happened.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After a dozen big men left, they never came back. Maybe I was overthinking, and I didn¡¯t necessarily know that the other party wanted to do something shameful.
Just when the middle-aged man was about to give up peeking and think about going to Wenwen Township to be happy, he suddenly saw a beautiful figure on the street that attracted him, and that figure was obviously heading for his own shop.
The middle-aged man suddenly became energetic and looked carefully. The beautiful woman had a delicate face and full of wisdom. She was a typical Xiaojiabiyu. Her appearance was pure and beautiful. The middle-aged man obviously hesitated when he saw the girl walking to his shop. , finally gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to go in.
The middle-aged man told Yue Kang that the girl was exactly the same as Yue Kang's description, and even the clothes were exactly the same. He said with certainty that that girl should be the person you are looking for.
When Yue Kang heard this important clue, he hurriedly asked: "What happened next?"
Nangong Linlin and Xiao Shun were both happy. Ping'er came here yesterday. It would be much easier to find Ping'er with this breakthrough.
"About half an hour later, I saw the girl coming out. After she came out, the girl looked very depressed and absent-minded. She was almost hit by the carriage. After that, I watched her face Go in that direction." The middle-aged man pointed in the direction of Tiande Academy as he spoke.
"Master, what I said is really true. As for what happened to the girl in the shop, I really don't know!" The middle-aged man added, fearing that Yue Kang would not believe him.
Yue Kang could see that the other party did not lie to him this time. He probably knew only so much. It would be meaningless to ask further. Yue Kang asked the other party to describe in detail the touch of the old man and a dozen big men. In this way, Yue Kang promised later, don't worry! This matter will definitely not involve you, just pretend you don¡¯t know anything, live your life well, and no one will cause trouble for you.
This is indeed a big gain. With this clue, there is a patrol target. The confused Yue Kang sees a glimmer of hope.
An old man? A dozen big men? Lucky fortune? Pinger?
What is the connection between all this? Why did Ping'er come here? How did the other party know that Ping'er would definitely come here? It's all a mystery. Yue Kang can't figure out the answer, but he knows that all this is a conspiracy that the other party has been brewing for a long time. , waiting for Pinger to get in.
No matter how he thought about it, Yue Kang felt it was unreasonable. If the other party wanted to harm Ping'er, there was no need to go to such trouble. Wouldn't it be easier to catch Ping'er directly? Why lay a trap like this? What did the old man say to Ping'er? What caused Ping'er to leave without saying goodbye after dedicating her body to him?
A thought soon appeared in Yue Kang's mind, is the other party dealing with me? Could it be that the other party deliberately made Ping'er leave me?
The carriage has started. Yue Kang sat on the carriage and kept thinking. Finally, Yue Kang concluded that it must be a conspiracy by the other party to want Ping'er to leave me, and who is the mastermind of the conspiracy? All these are issues that Yue Kang must consider.
On the carriage, Yue Kang kept rubbing his head. Nangong Linlin sat quietly beside him, saying nothing, but looking at Yue Kang with eyes full of concern.
"Sister Nangong, why did Ping'er go to that shop? Did she go to have her fortune told or to get her fortune told?" Since the relationship between Yue Kang and Nangong Linlin is secret, now that Xiao Shun is present, Yue Kang is still Nangong Linlin used to be called Sister Nangong.
"I feel like the signature should be released." Nangong Linlin analyzed.
"Unlock the signature?" Yue Kang frowned.
"Don't forget what Ping'er and Miaodan said yesterday afternoon." Nangong Linlin said again.
Nangong Linlin¡¯s words awakened Yue Kang, and Yue Kang suddenly realized that marriage, fate, and fate were in conflict with each other. The sum of the three was indeed not fortune-telling.
"Unlocking the signature? Unlocking the signature? When did Ping'er ask for the signature, how could I not know." Yue Kang said to himself, his hand kept rubbing his chin, and suddenly his little finger touched something.
Yue Kang touched his body, grabbed the peace talisman around his neck, and hurriedly took it off his neck, "Peace talisman?" Yue Kang frowned again. Yue Kang would not forget the peace talisman on his neck. Ping'er went to the Tianshen Temple to ask for the talisman for herself a few days ago. If she hadn't prayed for this talisman of peace, Ping'er would not have met Zheng Haijia, let alone a series of things that followed.
After a while, Yue Kang suddenly shouted, "Xiao Shun, when you accompanied Ping'er to the Tianshen Temple that day, did Ping'er go to ask for a signature?"
Yue Kang¡¯s voice was urgent, which really startled Xiao Shun. After he reacted, he recalled the situation of that day in his mind, and then he shook his head and said, "No!" In his impression, Ping'er did not ask for a signature.
"No? Think about it again? Did you and Ping'er separate that day?" Yue Kang asked.
"Do you suspect that Ping'er asked for the lottery that day?" Nangong Linlin interjected.
"It's very possible." Yue Kang nodded.
Xiao Shun recalled the scene that day, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I did separate from Miss Ping'er that day. At that time, the two of us had already left the Tianshen Temple. She said that she She lost her money bag and said she wanted to go back to look for it. I said I would go with her, but she refused. In the end, she went to the Tianshen Temple alone to look for the money bag. I waited for almost half of the time.She came out after an hour. "
Lost your money bag? Returned to Tianshen Temple? Yue Kang slapped his thigh and said, "The problem must have occurred within this half hour."
"Uncle, Miss Ping'er went to pick up the money bag. What does it have to do with asking for a signature?" Xiao Shun was a little confused.
"If the prediction is correct, Ping'er's money bag was not lost at all." Nangong Linlin said slowly. After she finished speaking, she glanced at Yue Kang and said, "What do you think."
Yue Kang nodded and said, "It's the same as what I thought."
"She must have gone back alone to ask for a signature. Even if she was asking for a signature, why didn't she let Xiao Shun follow? Didn't she want Xiao Shun to know what kind of signature she was asking for?" Yue Kang seemed to be talking to himself. It was said to the two of them.
"Marriage sign"
Suddenly, Yue Kang and Nangong Linlin almost exclaimed in unison. After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other, with a sense of understanding.
