Chapter 40 Strange Neighbor

Qin Fei, who sent Guan Lingsi home, was lonely and had nowhere to go, unknowingly, stepped on the moonlight and returned to Caishi Street, in front of the old house he had lived in for many years.

The house has been burned to the point where only broken walls are left, and there is no valuable thing.

Cheng Xin is different now. After tonight, a well-known "one-man show" will appear in the underworld of Dongdu, so naturally he will not feel sad about those replicas that have not been sold yet.

There are also many firefighters who are busy cleaning the fire. Qin Fei sat down on the stone pier at the entrance of the alley and watched them pack up their belongings. Naturally, they could not find much valuable things from the rotten house after the fire was poured. The people in the firefighters were disappointed in words.

Qin Fei has been in the Inspection Office for so long and knows that people in the government are asking for money for their work. If an ordinary person catches a fire and the firefighting team arrives at the scene, the first thing they do is to put out the fire. Then he enters the fire and searches for valuable antiques, gold, silver and other things that cannot be burned. This time, when he comes to rescue the rotten houses in the vegetable market that are not oily and water, he naturally cannot get any interest. If he does not work hard, he can just use a water dragon to put out the fire.

In the ruins with blue smoke, a firefighting team official almost turned over something and stuffed it into his pocket. Qin Fei's face turned cold and rushed over like a wind. His arms grew longer and he put them on the man's shoulder and shouted sternly: "What are you hiding?"

"What does it have to do with you?" The official turned his face and saw that it was a patrol inspector. His face could not help but eased a little. A smile appeared on his face covered in dust: "Our firefighting team's old rules, whatever you pick up is yours. This patrol inspector, you..."

Qin Fei spread his palms: "Give it."

"Hey, even the inspector cannot break our rules. If you rely on the court's salary to eat, everyone will starve to death. Hey, don't rob... Brothers, there is an inspector coming to rob..." The official said, in Qin Fei's ears, he thought he was farting, and his big hand touched his pocket directly.

The official officer was also a smart person. Seeing that Qin Fei was young and strong, he was definitely not an opponent in a fight, so he immediately called out. More than a dozen firefighting team officials came around with their faces!

Qin Fei was obviously not in such a good mood, and he didn't raise his head. He slashed out in the air with his back hand. A sharp energy flew past. Among the crowd, an official squirted blood in his mouth and fell about a foot.

"This house is mine, get out of here!" Qin Fei shouted sternly. The officials who knew they were kicking on the iron plate were in panic. They helped up their injured companions, picked up the water dragon, and quickly left the alley.

Qin Fei sat on the ruins, spread his palms, and looked carefully at the things he snatched from Guancha’s pocket. It was a golden lock the size of a bowl and covered with dust.

Qin Fei frowned. The family was so poor that they could hardly have enough food. How could there be a golden lock? Looking along the place where the official was standing just now, I saw a vague depression in the broken wall. Put the golden lock in my hand in tightly!

Qin Fei suddenly realized that the golden lock had been sealed in the wall. If it weren't for the fire this time, anyone would never have known that there was a golden lock in the wall.

His thumb wiped the dust on it little by little along the golden lock, and there was a line of small words "The Moon'er's Hundred Days" engraved on it. Qin Fei's heart moved, it was my mother's thing.

Although this golden lock is old, it has extremely exquisite workmanship. The Yunyue engraved on it is known at first sight, and it is lifelike. Even the four words "The Moon'er's Hundred Days" are vigorous and powerful, with a rigorous structure. My mother was born in a wealthy family back then, and she might be a noble lady! Qin Fei's lips raised slightly, she smiled indifferently, and put the golden lock close to her body.

Since the house has burned, I can't stay overnight on the road. I have rejected Guan Lingsi's invitation to keep him in the Guan Mansion's room, so I'll go find an inn to deal with it for a night.

It has fallen into a dark vegetable market street, with a dim lantern hanging at the end of the street, and a small flag is slanted beside the light, with three big words "Not homesick" written on it.

That is the only inn on Caishi Street. The inn is not big, with a total of fifteen or sixteen rooms in the yard. Each room has only simple beds and tables.

The rent here is cheap, only a hundred cents a day. Liuying from Caishi Street often brings customers here to check in, and some people who are angry with their wives and refuse to go home to stay here. Therefore, the business of the small inn is pretty good, and there are often full customers.

Qin Fei stepped into the homelessness, and the little brother who was yawning immediately put on a professional smile, bowed his waist and greeted him, "How come Brother Fei is there to come homeless today?"

The shopkeeper gave him a stern face and shuddered on his forehead, and then said with a smile: "Brother Fei, there are unexpected events that day and people will have good fortunes and good fortunes. After the water leaves at home, I hope you can be more at ease. Today, the shop is empty. If Xiao Fei doesn't dislike it, he will stay for one night."

"Okay, I may have to disturb you for a few days. I will move it away after I find a place to settle down." Qin Fei took out a piece of silver from his pocket and asked to pay the account.

The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward, stopped Qin Fei tightly, and deliberately pouted, his beard shaking on his lips: "Brother Fei, they are all neighbors on the same street. If you give money, you will look down on others."

His eyes were so wide that he was blowing high, and he looked angry. Qin Fei smiled and said, "Okay, you can't give the house money, it's better to make the meal money." Without saying a word, he stuffed the broken silver into the shopkeeper's pocket.

The two of them refused for a while, but the shopkeeper finally took the piece of silver, lit the oil lamp himself, carried the kettle, and took Qin Fei to the guest room.

The house was indeed very simple. Qin Fei was lying on the bed, covered with a clean quilt specially exchanged by the shopkeeper, and took out the golden lock and played with it in his hand. Suddenly, he seemed to hear a slight moan next door.

It is not strange to hear moaning in the inn. If there is a firefly next door picking up a customer, you can hear more exciting things. But Qin Fei could hear it very clearly. That sound was the man's moan enduring the severe pain.

Qin Fei held his breath and his mind slowly unfolded. When he killed Ji Xing two days ago, his mind was exhausted. He had a headache from time to time in the past two days and had not recovered completely. However, it was enough to find out what was happening next door.

The invisible mind power was like a storm, quietly rushing towards the next door, but it was strange that nothing could be visited. Qin Fei immediately withdrew his mind. There was only one possibility in this situation. The person living next door was not an ordinary person, and he didn't want his privacy to be visited by Qin Fei. However, this person did not make any counterattack, just guarding the gods and holding the earth to block Qin Fei's visit!

Since the other party was prepared, Qin Fei did not want to provoke a master rashly. Although he was curious, he could not resist the fatigue of running from Lumingshan back to Dongdu, and doing so many things. Soon, Qin Fei held the golden lock and fell asleep in a drowsy way.

It was just bright. Qin Fei, who woke up from his sleep, held an empty basin and pushed the door out to wash. As soon as the door was opened, he stepped out and almost hit a person. Qin Fei hurriedly took a step back and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't see..."

The man did not answer, lowered his head and was about to walk past Qin Fei. Qin Fei suddenly felt something was wrong, and a faint smell rushed into his nose. After sniffing it carefully, it turned out that the smell came from the person in front of him.

No matter how he looks, he is an adult. From the side, he has a white skin, about 20 years old, his body is slightly hunched, and he looks quite thin. He is wrapped in a blue robe, which is wrinkled as if he hasn't washed for a long time.

Qin Fei couldn't help but tease and said, "Brother, please change your clothes. I peed on the kang, it's not good to go out with the smell."

The man stopped and glanced at Qin Fei with a cold look. His face was pretty, but when he glared, it seemed that people felt extremely resentful in his heart, which made people feel very uncomfortable. He glared at him and walked away quickly. Qin Fei looked at his slightly arched back in surprise, chuckled and shook his head, and took water to wash his face.

By the well, the waiter also walked over with a kettle. Qin Fei asked casually: "The young man who has just passed by has never seen him before, why is there a strange smell on his body?"

The waiter suddenly cried out: "Brother Fei, you say he is here to stay the day before yesterday, and he is so coquettish. The shopkeeper doesn't want to keep him in accommodation, but he is really shabby and gives him a tael of silver. During the two days of dinner, the young man also knocked on the door and asked him if he was out of the lobby for dinner, but he ignored it. He didn't know what he was doing in the room. He went to check out just now, but he still smelled the same. Fortunately, he stayed there for two days, otherwise, the young man would be afraid that the room would not be rented out in the future!"

"It's quite strange." Qin Fei took out a few copper coins from his pocket and gave them to the waiter: "I have time to clean up my room and stay for ten days and half a month."

The waiter took the money and left happily. Qin Fei ate some food randomly and walked onto the street. The atmosphere on the street was a bit weird. A large number of imperial guards took to the streets, and there was a scene of heavy guard everywhere. The vendors who set up stalls on the streets were talking about it, saying that when they entered the city in the morning, the city gate was closed and they were only allowed to enter and not leave.

Teams of imperial guards were brightly armoured, and the imperial guards were passing by Qin Fei. The imperial guards were only three miles away from Caishi Street. Looking at the direction of the imperial guards' departure, it was obvious that they wanted to close the inner and outer cities. How big was it that they could alarm the imperial guards of such a large scale? Especially Emperor Chu was still hunting in Luming Mountain... Qin Fei stood by the roadside and watched the imperial guards pass by one team after another, his heart was full of questions. He was about to go to the inspection office to see, but suddenly an old acquaintance waved at him from a distance. When he looked closely, he found that it was the Ma Town Office of Caishi Street Inspection Office.

"It's early in the town!" Qin Fei quickly walked over.

Ma Zhen looked bitter and looked at Qin Fei with fear and said, "Brother Fei, are you still from the Inspection Office now? We have trouble with the Imperial Guard this time. If the matter is not done well, hundreds of people may fall to the ground at any time. It is said that all the officials in the town must retreat to the end..."

"What big thing happened?" Qin Fei asked in confusion.
