The reason why Ye Xiao wanted to earn money as fast as he could was to buy some treasures to fill the Boundless Space at the auction tomorrow. Now he had the money, but the auction was gone …
Ten days wasn't a long time. The problem was … Ye Xiao didn't want to waste even one more day.
"By the way, the theft case in your house … How is it going?" Ye Xiao hesitated and started to ask about the most interesting topic.
Gramp Zuo had turned the entire capital upside down. Now the entire Chen-Xing City was in a state of panic. The security was better than ever. It was all thanks to Zuo Wu-Ji's grandpa.
"Don't mention it!" Zuo Wu-Ji looked pale, "That night, I was nearly cut into pieces. When my grandpa came back, he saw so many things in our house were gone. He was furious! For the past few days, nobody dared to speak loudly in the Zuo Clan … "
Ye Xiao cautiously said, "It seems you must have lost something extremely important this time …"
"That's right …" Zuo Wuji sighed, "I have never seen my grandpa so angry since I was a kid … The entire capital has been turned upside down by my family, and my grandpa still won't stop …"
Ye Xiao answered, "Oh. Did your grandpa say what it was?" He asked with concern, "Did your grandpa say what it was?"
"Who dares to ask him at this moment?" Zuo Wu-Ji felt wronged and shouted, "I just said something, and I got beaten up seven or eight times …"
On the other side, Lan Langlang asked with interest, "What did you say?"
"Nothing … I just said, 'If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. Don't worry, grandpa …" Zuo Wu-Ji wanted to cry but had no tears. "Then my grandpa got furious. He said,' You black sheep! That's why you stole all the good stuff and sold it to prostitutes for liquor … So he beat me up!" "That's right.
Zuo Wu-Ji sadly said, "Tell me, what does it have to do with me? I said those words to comfort him, but I got beaten up for no reason. Didn't I just get beaten up for no reason? "
"Ahem, ahem, ahem …" Ye Xiao coughed to cover his laughter.
"Hahahahahahahaha …" Lan Lang-Lang didn't even try to cover it. He was gloating and laughing.
Since the auction was postponed, the two of them had nothing to do, so they came to Ye Xiao's place. Zuo Wu-Ji and Ye Xiao used to be enemies. They didn't like each other, but after Ye Xiao's' help ', he felt that Ye Xiao was truly a good friend. So he came to Ye Xiao with Lan Lang-Lang to complain to Ye Xiao and get some drinks.
Ye Xiao smiled and looked at the darkness outside the window. He spoke softly, "This theft … may not be a bad thing for your clan … There is an old saying, 'Misfortune is always a blessing in disguise, and a blessing in disguise' … Maybe what you lost today will be better compensated in the future …"
Ye Xiao spoke slowly. Somehow, it felt like he was talking about something meaningful.
Zuo Wu-Ji sighed. He didn't understand what Ye Xiao was talking about. He didn't know how important the promise was. He just lowered his head and said, "Gosh. Don't talk about compensation … I am so scared when I see my grandpa's crotch … Let's just get through this first. Damn it. Why did they delay the auction? That bloody idiot who gave me the supreme dan bead … Let me meet him … I promise I won't beat him to death … "
He made a long sigh, full of sorrow.
"What took you so long to understand? That auction is postponed, and you have nowhere to go? Why did you come to me to ask for money? "Ye Xiao rolled his eyes and was speechless.
How could he not be depressed about the delay of the auction?
Moreover … these two people could still talk about it, but he couldn't. That kind of depressing feeling!
They were actually complaining in front of him …
He even scolded him as an idiot in front of the person involved. This was really unbearable. Unfortunately, even if he couldn't bear it, he still had to bear it!
"Heh heh, heh heh … Let me tell you something interesting. Do you still remember the Shan-Hua House?" Zuo Wu-Ji laughed.
"Hmm?" Ye Xiao's eyes shined with coldness.
How could he forget that place? The place where his body was poisoned was the Shan-Hua House.
"Ninety-eight people in the Shan-Hua House, including the brothel keeper and the prostitutes, are all dead." Zuo Wu-Ji sighed with pity, "At such a gloomy time, I wanted to go somewhere to have some fun and explore some secrets. I didn't expect to see all the dead bodies. What a disappointment … It is such a shame that so many beauties died …"
"What? Are they all dead? "Ye Xiao frowned.
"Yes." Zuo Wu-Ji nodded, "And … They must have been dead for a few days. The yamen in the capital is in a terrible fix because of this. "
"Oh ~ ~ ~" Ye Xiao took a deep breath and thought, [Dead for a few days? That means it wasn't because of the robbery in the Prime Minister's House. It seems … I was just poisoned and I wasn't even sure if I was still alive, yet all the people in the Shan-Hua House have been killed. There is no way to find out!
The ruthlessness of the person who plotted in the dark was truly at an extreme level!
"Zuo Wu-Ji, do you know … who is the real owner of the Shan-Hua House?" Ye Xiao casually said, "The whole house was destroyed. Why didn't the owner come out to check? Ask for the reason! "
Zuo Wu-Ji rubbed his head and said, "Brother Ye, this is really a difficult question. I really don't know … However, it is said that this house has something to do with Wang Xiao-Nian, but … I don't have any proof."
"Wang Xiao-Nian?" Ye Xiao's pupils shrank and he said, "That … The son of the Crown Prince's bodyguard, Wang Da-Nian?"
"Yes. That's him." Zuo Wu-Ji laughed and said, "Wang Xiao-Nian, that bastard. A few days ago, he was bragging that his father got a blood ginseng which was hundreds of years old and was going to give it to him to refine his body. It was said that he would improve greatly overnight and become one of the superior cultivators … Damn it! That bastard is so proud of himself. I hate seeing him like that! But it has nothing to do with us. We just don't have a place to play … "
"Play? Is your disease … cured? " Ye Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard the words "hundreds of years old blood ginseng". And then he squinted at Zuo Wu-Ji.
Zuo Wu-Ji's face turned red and he shouted, "Ye Xiao, don't force me to turn against you!" Suddenly, he forgot about the blood ginseng.
Lan Lang-Lang held his belly and laughed so hard that the hat on his head almost fell off. He said while gritting his teeth, "Can't we talk about it? You go to the brothel every day. How many times have you played with girls? Weren't you just fooled? Hahahaha … The six beauties of the Fragrance House have all become sworn brothers with you. I heard that you are the youngest, right? Young Master Zuo, you're the famous Qiniang … "
"Bastard!" Zuo Wu-Ji was furious when he heard the name "Seventh Madame". He rushed over to Lan Lang-Lang and started punching and kicking him. Lan Lang-Lang laughed weirdly and struggled with Zuo Wu-Ji.
It turned out that although Zuo Wu-Ji was a foppish playboy, he was born with a hidden disease: he couldn't have sex. Ahem, he couldn't do it. It was a taboo for a man. However, Zuo Wu-Ji was a foppish playboy and a prodigal, but he was an open-minded man. He could actually face it calmly. It was really a miracle …
After playing for a long time, Zuo Wu-Ji sighed sadly and said, "The auction has been postponed, but I heard that the supreme dan beads are the best of the best … If only I could buy them …"
Lan Lang-Lang snorted disdainfully, "Come on, Lord Zuo, don't even think about it. According to our financial resources, we can afford it, but … the problem is that we don't even have the chance to buy it. Those young lords of the noble clans will fight for them. "
Zuo Wu-Ji nodded and sighed.
The three of them were called the "Three Lords of the Capital", which sounded like a big name. However, in the eyes of the young lords of the real clans, they were nothing.
They each had their own circle, and most of the time, they got along well.
However, they definitely didn't like each other.
Among the three clans, the Zuo Clan was stronger. Zuo Wu-Ji had a few older brothers. He was abandoned by the clan because he was born castrated. However, in Lan Lang-Lang and Ye Xiao's families, they were the only two children …
"Clans …" Lan Lang-Lang sighed.
"A dynasty with hundreds of years of history, a clan with thousands of years of history …" Zuo Wu-Ji smirked, "Our clan is not a real clan yet. Compared to the real clans, we are far behind …" He shook his head and sighed.
"How could a real clan produce a foppish playboy like you?" Lan Lang-Lang said with disdain.
"Are you any better than me?" Zuo Wu-Ji glared at him.
The two of them were about to quarrel again.
Ye Xiao couldn't help feeling a headache.
"Stop! Shut up, both of you. This is my home. If you want to quarrel, please go somewhere else … Hmm, if you are really bored, why don't we go to Wang Xiao-Nian's place and have some fun? "Ye Xiao smirked. He thought, [I can't waste that hundreds of years old blood ginseng. I didn't know about it, but now that I know about it, I have to kill the wrong person …]
[Anyway, Wang Xiao-Nian's house definitely has something to do with me being poisoned …]
"Great!" Zuo Wuji and Lan Langlang were both busybodies who were eager to see the world in chaos. The moment they heard this proposal, they raised their hands and feet to agree with it.
