Chapter 873: Grand Thief

"You don't have to push yourself too hard, it's fine if it's inconvenient!" Li Zhenbang said with some embarrassment.

"Guest officer, look at what you said, the visitor is a customer, how can I neglect the guest officer! What do you want to know? You can ask whatever you want! In this store, I am known as Bai Xiaosheng of Jinguangcheng, as long as I have a little reputation There is nothing I don't know!" The waiter in the shop puffed up his chest with a proud look on his face.

"If that's the case, then I'll ask. What's your name? The chief errand is yelling, and I don't feel very good." Li Zhenbang looked at the inn errand with a kind face, and began to get close.

"Guest officer, you don't need to worry too much. In fact, it's a coincidence that my family is the second, and my name is Li Xiaoer, and I work as the shop's second, so everyone often calls me Xiaoer." He responded with a smile on his face.

"That's really a coincidence! How long have you lived in Jinguang City?"

"Returning guest officer, since I was born, I have been living in Jinguang City, and it has been twenty-four years now."

"The time is not short, so it seems that you have seen the development of Jin Guangcheng?"

"That goes without saying, Jinguang City... Jinguang City can be said to be developing better and better now, especially under the wise leadership of the two city lords, everyone can live comfortably. Didn't you also come here for fame? Is it?" Li Xiaoer's eyes flickered for a moment before continuing.

Li Zhenbang frowned, Li Xiaoer's expression did not escape Li Zhenbang's eyes, Li Xiaoer's words were obviously insincere.

"We are not interested in the development of Jinguang City, so you don't have to be nervous. I haven't been to Jinguangcheng for a long time. In the past few years, has there been anything special or famous about Jinguangcheng? One silver coin is yours." Eileen shook the silver coin in her hand, her voice full of temptation.

In fact, Eileen can use the charm skill to get out words, but if you use the charm skill on these ordinary people, one is too wasteful, and the other is that ordinary people may not be able to bear it and become idiots.

I don't know if it's because of the charm of beautiful women, or the charm of money, or this question is not difficult to answer, so after hearing Elena's words, Li Xiaoer was obviously relieved,

"There are many more famous things. After the death of Widow Chen's man, she often cheated on others. Some people said that she poisoned her man to death in order to stay together with her lover..."

Elena frowned. Li Xiaoer was a person who was good at observing words and emotions. Seeing Elena's expression, he naturally knew that she was not interested in this kind of news, so he hurriedly changed the subject.

"Some time ago, Baron Joseph brought back a beautiful woman from other places, but this woman seems to have some intellectual problems, and she has almost never left the baron's mansion alone..."

"We are not interested in these trivial matters. Is there any explosive news? For example, robbery, murder, etc." Omega stared at Li Xiaoer and asked.

Li Xiaoer felt his body tense up, as if he was the prey being targeted by a ferocious beast, and he didn't dare to move at all.

"Rooting...killing...you...you don't want to..." Li Xiaoer's voice trembled.

"You have also seen our strength. To tell you the truth, what we do most often is to kill people. But don't worry, we have no interest in killing ordinary people. We kill all treacherous and evil people, and they are the ones who rob and give some of it to the poor, so everyone calls us grand thieves." Omega looked at Li Xiaoer triumphantly.

"Phew... I was scared to death, so I feel relieved, I thought you would kill people to silence you!" Li Xiaoer let out a long breath.

"But speaking of thieves,

I don't know if you have heard of one thing? " Li Xiaoer looked around nervously, then asked cautiously.

"What's the matter?" Omega looked at Li Xiaoer suspiciously. Seeing Li Xiaoer's appearance, it was obvious that he was going to talk about something.

"That... a few years ago, some poor people accidentally got a bunch of gold coins, but they were all executed later. The government is because they colluded with the robbers, and many guards of the city lord's mansion died because of this matter! But everyone knows that those poor people can't collude with any robbers, it's simply that the robbers distributed some of the robbed property to them." Li Xiaoer said mysteriously.

"Oh? There is such a thing? Let's hear it." Li Zhenbang's eyes lit up. He actually knew about it, because Yuchen did it, but he still pretended not to know anything. .

Li Xiaoer leaned over to the table, bowed his body, put his head on the table, and said in a low voice: "In fact, everyone knows what happened to this matter, and it was also widely spread at the time. After all, dozens of people died all at once. , it’s no small matter in Jin Guangcheng.”

"It is said that the reason why these poor people are killed is because the people above want to lure this grand thief out. As long as he comes out, those poor people will not have to die. The people above are also in a hurry. You don't know, at that time More than a dozen of the personal guards of Deputy City Lord Hou died, and it is rumored that they were all killed by this grand thief."

"Unfortunately, until the end, the so-called grand thief did not show up. The people above killed all the poor people directly, leaving none of them, not even the babies who were still waiting to be fed. At that time, the scene was like Shura Hell! People who lived around the execution ground later said that every night, they would hear the cries of children, and they were all unwilling dead souls!" Li Xiaoer's face was gloomy, making the atmosphere quite scary.

"The people above are really beasts!" Omega said through gritted teeth.

"Guest officer, you can't say that! If that rogue appeared in time, wouldn't there be such a thing?" Li Xiaoer shook his head, "In my opinion, it's a rogue, but it hurts so much. How is it any different from real thieves when many people die unexpectedly?"

Li Zhenbang frowned, "Xiaoer, I have a question for you."

"Guest officer, tell me!"

"If, I mean if! Now a group of bandits suddenly came outside the door and surrounded us, and they said that as long as one person comes out to die, they won't kill everyone. Will you go out to die on your own initiative?"

"I'm not going out? I'm just an ordinary waiter, and I'm not a hero. Whoever is the hero will go!" Li Xiaoer shook his head like a rattle.

"Then if the bandits say that it's useless for anyone else to go out to die, only by killing you can everyone else be spared, then can you go out to die?"

"I didn't provoke them, why would they want to kill me?" Li Xiaoer looked at Li Zhenbang with aggrieved expression.

"I've said it all, if, if they want to kill you, they will let everyone go, so are you going to die?" Li Zhenbang picked up the tea bowl in front of him and took a sip.

"Then I won't go either!" Li Xiaoer shook his head and took a step back.

"If you don't go, everyone in the inn will die. If you volunteer yourself, everyone in the inn will survive."

"Why should I trade my life for other people's lives? I..."

"Okay, okay, it's just an if, don't need to be so serious. This is Jinguang City, how could there be a bunch of robbers and bandits!" The corners of Li Zhenbang's mouth rose slightly, showing sarcasm.

People are like this, when things do not fall on their own heads, when they are just a spectator, they will put themselves on the highest moral high ground, and then criticize others without any scruples.

But once misfortune befell him, they would long for the pity and understanding of others, and even wished to drag innocent people into the water to be buried with them, just for themselves to breathe for a while.

"Let's talk about what happened just now! What happened to that grand thief?" Elena took out a silver coin again, put it flat on her index finger, and flicked it lightly with her thumb, and the silver coin flew into the air with a crisp sound. There was a buzzing sound, and then it fell on Elena's palm again.

Li Xiaoer's eyes have never left the silver coin. Although Elena's appearance is very attractive, but Li Xiaoer is very clear about his identity, so he pays more attention to the silver coin that is likely to fall into his pocket. silver.

In fact, this is also the cuteness of ordinary people. They often pay more attention to their immediate interests. For those things that are out of reach, they only think about them at most, and they don't really try.

"Dead!" Li Xiaoer shook his head and said firmly.

"Dead? How did you know?" Li Zhenbang stood up suddenly, stared at Li Xiaoer, and was startled by Li Xiaoer. He took several steps back before stopping.

"Uh... that... Just recently, Jin Guangcheng made a big publicity, saying that the person who killed and injured Jin Guangcheng's guards was arrested, but he was executed on the spot because of resistance during the arrest. .” Li Xiaoer said cautiously.

He just remembered that these people claimed to be grand thieves, and the person who was executed on the spot was also a grand thief, maybe the two groups of people are the same! Thinking of what he said to that rogue just now, Li Xiaoer felt a chill down his spine.

"Do you know what that person's name is?" Li Zhenbang took a big step and stared into Li Xiaoer's eyes.

"No... I don't know. They didn't say what that person's name was. They just said that he was executed on the spot. We didn't even see the dead body. In fact, many people are doubting. The above is just saying, and they didn't really see the dead body. The Fa-rectification, after all, no one has seen the scene of being Fa-rectified, nor has he seen the real person." Li Xiaoer rolled his eyes and said hastily.

"only……"

"Just what?" Li Zhenbang grabbed Li Xiaoer's collar directly.

"It's just that since that time, there really hasn't been any news of the guard being killed." Li Xiaoer said with a trembling voice.
