C470 Inquiring Information

It seems so natural.    

    

It attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians.    

    

On one hand, they felt that this little girl was truly too sensible. On the other hand, they felt that this young master was indeed a descendant of a great clan.    

    

After drinking the tea, Xiao Yun's mood became better.    

    

He said, "Just now, I was riding the reins and actually ran here. Coincidentally, I saw a tall tower next to it. He originally wanted to go in and take a look, but he couldn't help but take a detour. But I didn't find the way. Even if I wanted to go to the Imperial Palace, I would just go in and see. But now, I'm actually stopped by a small tower. This young master really can't take such a loss."    

    

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head to look at the tall building. He hurriedly walked over and explained, "This young master, although this building was somewhat famous in its early years, it can be considered as having malfunctioned for a long time now. There is nothing to see. I heard that it was bought by someone previously. However, I have never seen a mason come and go before. It is obvious that it has not been renovated. This high-rise that had been abandoned for decades was not only ugly, but also not beautiful. It's even more dangerous."    

    

Xiao Yun frowned and said, "You're saying that this thing will fall?"    

    

"This... I dare not say. However, a tower in the east of the city was not as tall as this one. It was because it had not been repaired for a long time and collapsed in an instant. Many people died because of it."    

    

"That's really scary."    

    

Xiao Yun seemed to be frightened.    

    

However, he immediately asked, "Judging from your tone, you don't want me to go to that tower."    

    

The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand. "I don't dare! If Young Master wants to go, he can naturally go anywhere. It's just that when Young Master asked earlier, he only had some idle words to say. Young Master, please don't blame me."    

    

Xiao Yun nodded his head, then rubbed his chin. He twitched his mouth and said, "I just happened to see it. I thought it was because of luck. I didn't expect it to be an abandoned building... Then do you think it's possible that someone secretly repaired it inside? I just didn't want everyone to know, so I sealed up the original entrance and exit... To be honest, this matter of no route really makes this young master curious."    

    

The shopkeeper smiled and said," This... I'm afraid that Young Master has misunderstood."    

    

"Misunderstanding?"    

    

"This tower was originally a building, but it was too high. It made people think that it was a tower, but it was previously a member of the Imperial Court. A border official, in less than two lifetimes, fell. When that noble built this tall building, he did not leave any path behind. There was only one secret passage that could be entered and exited, and the surrounding trees had also been transplanted from other places at a high price. It has been more than a hundred years, and the trees are even more lush. "    

    

" Oh! So that's how it is. That official is really funny. He did this to prevent thieves from stealing, right? Tsk tsk, I wonder how much money that fellow took from him back then. To be able to build such a huge building, he must have hidden countless treasures within it."    

    

The shopkeeper chuckled. "That's right! There were previously rumors that said that there were more treasures inside than in the Imperial Palace! Tsk tsk, gold and silver are the same! "    

    

" What about now? "    

    

Xiao Yun seemed a little excited.    

    

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper sighed and said, "Dozens of years, almost a hundred years. These five or six generations have passed. Only squandering has no honor. No matter how much wealth he has, he has lost it all. Sigh... Otherwise, you wouldn't have sold your ancestral business to someone else. Young Master, you are right, right? "    

    

Xiao Yun nodded and said," What you said makes sense. The accumulation of the family business isn't as fast as squandering. Five generations of people, even a country, is completely defeated. "    

    

When the two of them talked about these things, most people would believe them, but the two of them themselves might not believe it.    

    

In any case, Xiao Yun did not believe it.    

    

Squandering?    

    

Those were just rumors of the common people.    

    

In fact, in the process of decline, it was extremely rare for a large family like that to be caused by squandering.    

    

At most, it was the last one or two generations who used up all their remaining property and spent it all. This could indeed be considered squandering.    

    

But the cause of the decline would definitely not be because of this.    

    

For example, the previous owner of the Moonlight Tavern.    

    

Even if their family had declined for one or two generations, they had status, grade, and money. Even if they could not rise up again, they could at least struggle on their last breath. It would not be to the extent where they would ruin their huge family business in just a few generations.    

    

There must be something deliberately suppressing their family.    

    

And that thing...    

    

Xiao Yun didn't need to ask, he didn't need to ask anyone.    

    

Everyone knew in their hearts.    

    

It must be the royal family!    

    

How could the Moonlight Tavern be shouted out by anyone?    

    

The building was so tall that it almost exceeded the limit. What was this? This was a meritorious deed! Even if it was bestowed by His Majesty, this was absolutely unacceptable.    

    

In a country ruled by an emperor, the most important and important thing in a person's life was to make the king trust him.    

    

There is no such thing!    

    

Thus, Xiao Yun did not understand what kind of person could commit such an act of bringing disaster upon himself.    

    

He did not know what kind of person and role the previous official who could end up well was.    

    

His life could be said to be brilliant.    

    

But now was not the time to consider these things.    

    

After chatting with the shop owner for a while, Xiao Yun also found some information.    

    

The water boiled three times, the tea boiled nine times, and the tea soup, along with the words, became tasteless.    

    

Xiao Yun waved his hand and casually threw a small piece of gold ingot. He then led Gua and continued to ride the reins.    

    

He did not continue to inquire about the situation in Moonlight Tavern.    

    

Gua was obviously not a good person to play along. Along the way, she did not ask anything out of curiosity.    

    

If it was another person, he would definitely jump out and ask Xiao Yun all kinds of questions.    

    

For example, how was the investigation going and whether he had any plans in his heart. At the very least, he would have to ask why he left that place so quickly.    

    

But Gua did not ask at all.    

    

It was as if she did not have any curiosity at all.    

    

She was doing what she should have done. She should not have done it, she should not have listened to it, and she should not have looked at it. Even if she had heard it, she would not have been moved.    

    

This was where Xiao Yun liked Gua the most.    

    

Because when something happened, she had to explain it. This matter was very troublesome.    

    

However, when a person lived for an entire lifetime, the thing that could not be avoided the most was trouble.    

    

Xiao Yun was about to reach the door of his house. A few people ran out from the corner of his mouth.    

    

After saying a few words, he brought Xiao Yun to a corner.    

    

There was a very large carriage there.    

    

It was completely black.    

    

He got on the carriage and went in to take a look.    

    

It was Prime Minister Qiu who was sitting inside.    

    

"I said..." Xiao Yun was not surprised at all. Instead, he sighed and said, "You are afraid that others will not notice you. You got such a carriage. Even if there are enemies in the city, there is really a conspiracy. I was scared away by you! Also, don't think that this carriage is sealed well. There is no wind. It is warm and you can run around, even though there is no wind coming in. Do you understand? The one in the middle is warm, but the car is cold. The cold and heat are uneven, and the temperature changes quickly. Instead, it makes people fall sick more easily than the pure cold. Moreover, the carriage would shake as long as it moved, no matter how small it was. It's not like your current physical condition can withstand it. It's not like you don't know. Many old officials have died from the bumpy ride back home. Do you want to put in so much effort? "    

    

It was just the first time they met.    

    

Xiao Yun complained.    

    

This was equivalent to scolding.    

    

It was like a senior scolding a junior.    

    

It made Prime Minister Qiu's subordinates outside the carriage speechless.    

    

This was also Xiao Yun.    

    

Should he try it on someone else?    

    

After being scolded, Prime Minister Qiu smiled awkwardly. He said, "I am also anxious. If His Majesty finds out about this, his Majesty will definitely send out the Imperial Guards. When that time comes, the martial world will counterattack and the capital will be in chaos... Yun, I heard that there are some clues in the north. A young lady from the Xiao family is getting married again, the same goes for the other families. The new year is going to be a new year. There are a lot of things waiting to be done. The capital cannot be allowed to be in chaos."    

    

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Don't tire yourself out before you solve the case. When the time comes, don't let the Xiao family run out of business. If the Qiu family does something for free, my distant cousin will have to wait for three years before she marries again."    

    

This sentence almost angered the people outside the carriage to death.    

    

Wasn't he cursing his master to death?    

    

Why would someone speak in such a wicked manner?!    

    

But when Prime Minister Qiu heard this, his heart warmed.    

    

He was dead, but Xiao Yun's cousin would be married three years later. This was because Xiao Yun wanted the entire Xiao family to be filial to him...    

    

Although Xiao Yun wasn't the legitimate head of the family, he was a man of his word. Whatever he said, the Xiao family would have to pay with their lives.    

    

"I'm a little impatient..."    

    

Finally, Prime Minister Qiu apologized awkwardly in this manner.    

    

Only then did Xiao Yun roll his eyes and sit beside the small stove.    

    

"What did you call me here for? Don't tell me you're listening to my nagging?"    

    

Prime Minister Qiu smiled bitterly and said, "I want to ask you what you have found out. Yun, you will definitely gain something if you attack me personally."    

    

Xiao Yun said, "I did not hide anything from you. Didn't you see what I found out?"    

    

Prime Minister Qiu said, "I did not see it myself. It was a servant who reported it. There will always be some mistakes."    

    

Xiao Yun's eyes turned and said, "That's a coincidence. Elder, quickly tell me how you repay them. I will interrogate them and see if these martial arts experts you have invited can do it."
