Chapter 12 The Liu Family’s Secret
Xu Ning randomly ordered some meat dishes. The prices of the above dishes were not cheap. A dish of boiled vegetables would start at a penny.
After getting a huge sum of money, he didn't care.
Others were a little too hesitant and took a while to choose a few dishes.
No one ordered girls.
The prices for different girls' escorts are also different.
It is divided into three levels, the third grade is worth one tael of silver for one hour, the second grade is worth three taels of silver for one hour, and the first grade is worth ten taels of silver for one hour.
It's faster than robbing money, and they are not willing to give it up.
It didn't take long for several cold dishes and wine to arrive.
Xu Ning filled the glasses of wine for everyone, and they drank a few glasses together.
After starting the conversation and talking about some interesting stories among colleagues, the atmosphere became lively.
Although wine is unpleasant to drink and gives people a headache, the advantage is that it can quickly bring people closer together at the wine table.
A meal can transform them from strangers into good brothers who depend on each other for life and death.
Then after sobering up, the relationship quickly cooled down again.
"The food here is really expensive. Just a plate of peanuts costs a penny. In my village, it can buy more than ten kilograms. I can't even finish it."
"Girls here are expensive. I asked before. If you want to sleep for one night, you need five taels of silver to start with! I can't bear to part with it."
"That's right, in the old alleys in the outer city, the women there only make fifty bucks a night..."
"Where is the old alley? Please let me know..."
"I wanted to spend money seriously. Since there is such a good place, who would spend money here? Wouldn't it be the same if I blew out the lamp?"
"Haha, you're right."
Seeing that everyone was a little drunk, Xu Ning opened his mouth and said:
"What happened yesterday? Do you know?"
His words immediately made everyone present stop.
The atmosphere also became depressing.
More than thirty colleagues died, and it is impossible to say that I am not afraid in my heart.
Xu Ning laughed and said:
"Everyone said casually, if there is any danger, we can avoid it.
I heard that the people who died were all sent to the Liu family. Is there something wrong with the Liu family? "
"Brother Xu, keep your voice down. We don't dare to let others hear it. The Liu family has everything in Huishan City, and even the county magistrate doesn't take it seriously."
Someone kindly reminded me.
"We are all brothers, and there are no outsiders. Let's talk about what happened. Even the emperor didn't say it, right? Haha..."
Xu Ninghun raised the wine glass nonchalantly and poured the wine into his mouth.
"Haha, yes. Let me tell you a story that I heard before. My grandfather told me that the ancestor of the Liu family was named Liu Hongsheng. He came to Huishan City more than 30 years ago. At that time, there were four people in Huishan City. big family.
One of the families also had the surname Liu, and they accepted Liu Hongsheng and others as distant relatives.
But I don’t know what happened. In just a few years, many members of the Liu family were killed or injured, and the entire Liu family was controlled by Liu Hongsheng.
Several other major families have also been severely damaged and are now in decline.
It is said that Liu Hongsheng, the ancestor of the Liu family, has witchcraft, which is very terrifying..."
Xu Ning nodded. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was enough to show that there must be something wrong with the Liu family.
The rise may have something to do with yesterday's stiff monster.
"Speaking of the Liu family, I think of a case from more than 20 years ago."
Said a drunken policeman with gray hair.
He looked to be in his forties or fifties. Xu Ning's eyes lit up and he immediately went to refill the wine and asked:
"What kind of case is it? Brother, please tell me."
"Twenty years ago, I forgot. I remembered that the most powerful martial arts gym in Huishan City was called Tianhe Martial Arts Hall. The owner of the gym could be regarded as the strongest martial artist in Huishan City.
His youngest daughter married Liu Hongsheng's son.
I don’t know exactly what happened, except that the wedding turned into a funeral that night.
The people at Tianhe Martial Arts Hall were all killed, and their blood flowed from the courtyard to the street...
The chief catcher at the time took us there, but we were blocked from the outside even before we could enter.
In the end, nothing happened... That was hundreds of lives... The owner of the museum was a good person... He often gave porridge and helped the poor..."
As he spoke, he began to cry, and his tears fell into the wine glass, which he drank down in one gulp.
Xu Ning secretly wrote down the case more than 20 years ago.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, he said:
"This time I want to ask you a question. Guanyin is sitting in the lotus. Do you know what it is?"
It was just a kindergarten car, which made everyone at the wine table look at each other.
"Brother Xu, I know that my grandma will worship Guanyin during the New Year and festivals, but I have never seen the one standing on the lotus platform and sitting on it."
"Haha, it seems you don't know. You have to drink a drink as a penalty first, and I'll explain it to you..."
Xu Ning took the wine flask and kept adding wine.
After everyone drank, he explained it vividly.
Many people's eyes immediately widened.
It turns out that there is still such a move, and the idiom can still be used in this way.
Xu Ning told a few more dirty jokes, and suddenly the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
At this time, he noticed something was wrong with Liu Shulin's expression.
It seemed out of place with the happy crowd.
"Shulin, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Ning walked over and asked with concern.
"Shulin, isn't your surname Liu? Is it related to the Liu family? Is there anything secret about the Liu family? Tell the big guys!"
Everyone started chatting, someone shouted.
"I have nothing to do with the Liu family. If I did, how could I still be a little catcher..."
Liu Shulin said with a bitter smile.
"That's true haha."
"Drink and drink. I'm going to try the Guanyin Lotus in a while."
"Go together, go together."
Although the other party concealed it very well.
Xu Ning was still keenly aware of the deep sadness hidden in Liu Shulin's eyes.
He must be more or less related to the Liu family.
However, Xu Ning didn't ask more questions at this time. He just filled up his wine and patted his shoulder.
at this time!
Suddenly, the door of the house was kicked open.
A man walked in with a big belly, a pig-kidney face covered with whiskers, and two glaring eyes the size of mung beans.
He asked with a hint of chill:
"You bitches, are you chewing on my Liu family's tongue behind my back?"
Behind him were several people with extraordinary auras, who were obviously accomplished warriors.
When he said this, the others were immediately frightened.
Instantly sober up.
All the wine he drank turned into cold sweat and broke out from his back.
That's the Liu family.
You can crush them to death with just a twitch of your little finger.
They dared to talk loudly, they really didn't want to live anymore.
Looking at the people who had squeezed in, Xu Ning frowned with an unhappy look on his face.
The public security in Chunfeng Tower was so poor that it disturbed his enjoyment of drinking and chatting.
He stared straight ahead.
I found that this person looked somewhat familiar.
Seems like I've seen it somewhere.
Especially that ring of beard, it is even more distinctive...
