"You don't pay for your food, and you still beat him up!" I'll fight you guys to the death! " The waiter rubbed his red and swollen cheeks, then rammed into the back of the youth's waist.

With a thud, the young man, who was already unable to stand steadily, fell forward. Along the way, he even knocked over a table.

"Aiya, this kid still dares to fight back!"

One of them grabbed the clothes of the waiter and threw him onto the ground. Soon after, everyone gathered around him and kicked him, kicking him until he covered his head and making him scream in pain.

Just as they were in the midst of fighting, a few waiters rushed out from the back of the tavern. Beside them, there was a rack as they shouted, "Stop fighting, quickly stop fighting!"

"Oh, they're here to help. Brothers, fight with me!" These young men went crazy from the liquor and started to fight with the waiters that had just come out.

Both sides did not know how to use Spiritual Force. When they fought, it was also a hoodlum style of fighting. Both sides would tear each other, twist each other, and roll on the floor.

The shopkeeper also wanted to drag them out, but not only did he not separate them, he even suffered a few punches. His face was green and red, and his clothes were ripped apart.

Just when the restaurant was in a state of chaos and filled with onlookers, the yamen runners who were in charge of the security of the city arrived.

Leading the group was a big burly man. He separated the crowd outside, squeezed to the front of the restaurant and looked inside, then shouted: "Stop! All of you, stop right now! "

Seeing that the bailiff had arrived, everyone in the restaurant stopped and stood in two groups. Looking at them now, it was as if their faces were all painted with flowers and their clothes were torn and tattered, looking very miserable.

The tall and sturdy bailiff walked into the restaurant. His eyes were like lightning as they swept over everyone one by one. He then asked angrily, "What is going on? Why are you guys fighting here? "

"Your Lordship, they didn't pay for the food, and they even hit people ?"

"Reporting to Your Lordship, this is a hacking shop. I've only eaten a few of their side dishes and a few jugs of wine, yet they cost twelve taels of silver. Sir, twelve taels of silver is enough for the whole family to last half a year ?"

"You guys only brought a hundred and ten copper coins to eat at a restaurant? You guys are sincerely here to find fault! "

"Bullshit!" "If you guys aren't a hack shop, this grandpa has enough money to use ?"

Being quarreled by them, the burly bailiff bellowed: "All of you shut up!" With that, he pointed at the young men dressed like peasants and shouted, "Take them all away!"

"Sir, we're not wrong. If you don't capture the dark shop, how can you catch us commoners?!"

"Cut the crap!" The burly bailiff scolded in a bad mood. He then looked at the waiters and asked, "Who is the shopkeeper?"

"It's a vile character." The storekeeper squeezed out from the waiters and said with a face full of smiles, "Sir, this time it was not our fault. I hope Sir has a clear mind."

"Sir Guan is in charge of a case, do you still have time to talk?" The burly bailiff glared at him and said: "Shopkeeper, you should come with us as well. Once you pass through the gates of Lieutenant's Mansion, you will know whether you are right or wrong."

"Sir, this little one ?" I still have to open a shop, now ? "I really can't leave ?" The shopkeeper smiled apologetically.

"It won't take up much of your time, take him away!" With that, he shook his head at the constables on his left and right before turning around and walking out.

"Your Lordship?" The shopkeeper still wanted to speak, but two bailiffs had already arrived in front of him, each holding onto his arms.

Lieutenant's Mansion.

The shopkeeper was brought into the Lieutenant's Mansion by the yamen runners, but there was no trace of the youths that were brought here with him.

He was secretly surprised. Logically speaking, this was just a small case, as long as both sides could testify against each other, why was he the only one left now while the youths who were causing trouble were nowhere to be found?

Just as he was guessing secretly, footsteps could be heard. He turned his head and saw two people walking in from outside. He knew both of them, and because of that, he felt that something was wrong.

The two who walked in were Cheng Jin and Ai Wei.

"Hehe! Your Excellency, should I call you Shopkeeper, or San Ye?" Ai Wei spoke first, but his words were like a sharp sword that pierced the shopkeeper's heart.

Crap! His identity had been exposed! The shopkeeper's first reaction was to pull out a Pill from his belt without even thinking and was about to put it in his mouth.

He was fast, but the others were even faster. Cheng Jin, who was originally very far from him, instantly appeared in front of him. He grabbed hold of his wrist, took the pill from his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then sneered: "Shopkeeper, you just remembered to consume a Spirit-gathering Pill now, isn't it a little too late?"

The shopkeeper's face changed, he screamed, and punched towards Cheng Jin's throat. Before his fist could even touch Cheng Jin, there was a cracking sound as the latter crushed his wrist.

In a split-second, the shopkeeper felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body shook violently, and then he went limp, falling onto the ground as he cried out in pain. Cheng Jin did not even look at him, and shouted: "Take him away!"

Following his words, a Hidden Arrow Crew practitioner flashed in front of him and struck out with a palm blade.

After that, Hidden Arrow Crew took out a long black cloth bag and placed the unconscious shopkeeper inside. After tying up the bag and putting it on his shoulder, he turned around and walked out.

Cheng Jin watched as Subordinate left, then cupped his hands towards Ai Wei and said: "Master Ai, it's all thanks to you this time!"

"I am only using minor techniques, even if I do not help, General Cheng will be able to capture him easily."

Ai Wei humbly said without holding back. After a pause, he continued, "Although we have taken him down, I am afraid it will not be easy to pry his mouth open!"

"As long as he is in the hands of our Dark Arrow, even if he is a man with an iron mouth and copper teeth, we still have ways to make him talk." Cheng Jin laughed and asked: How is it? Master Ai, are you interested to go take a look? "

From the bottom of his heart, Ai Wei did not want to go to the Hidden House anymore, but this opportunity was too rare. He pondered for a moment, then laughed: "This official thanks General Cheng."

"You and I are both working for the King, there is no need to be courteous to each other." Cheng Jin was very cold towards people he was not familiar with. Therefore, in the eyes of the bystanders, the cold-hearted Cheng Jin was just too soft-hearted.

After an unknown period of time, the shopkeeper finally woke up. He slowly opened his eyes and discovered that he was tied to a chair. His wrists were tied to the handles and his feet were tied to the legs of the chair.

He looked down at his wrist. It was red and swollen, almost twice as thick as it had been. When he saw the broken wrist, he couldn't help but let out a low groan.

"You're awake?" A young man wearing a black silk robe and a blood-red cloak was sitting in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

The shopkeeper was shocked and quickly looked up. He exchanged a glance with the young man and then looked around.

This was a stone room, and there were all sorts of torture tools placed around. The torches on the walls emitted a faint light, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

"This... What is this place? You... Who is it? " It was unknown whether it was because the stone room was too cold or because the surroundings were too scary, but the shopkeeper shivered and looked at the youth in front of him with a pale face.

The young man straightened his body and stood up. He first carefully straightened the clothes on his body, then straightened the cloak on his back and the blade underneath his ribs, then said slowly: "This is Hidden House. As for me, I am just a nobody among the hidden arrows. Right, up until now, I am the only Spirit Cultivator of Light out of the hidden arrows. " As he spoke, he couldn't conceal the complacency on his face.

Hidden House? He was finished, he had actually reached the head of the Dark Arrow!

The shopkeeper's heart was cold, but her face still revealed a panicked expression as she stuttered, "Sir, this ?" "Is there a misunderstanding here? This lowly one is only the manager of the Three Elements Restaurant. I have to abide by the law, I never commit adultery ?"

"Shh!" Gao Mucheng walked in front of the shopkeeper and raised his index finger, gesturing him to keep quiet, then smiled gently: "You don't need to say anything, it's a new and interesting thing to do!"

He was smiling, but when his laughter entered the shopkeeper's eyes, a chill rose up from the depths of his bones.

Gao Mucheng leisurely took out a small knife from the side, used his sleeve to carefully wipe the blade clean, and then without any warning, he made a small cut on the shopkeeper's hand.

The wound was not big, but the shopkeeper still shivered. With a terrified expression on his face, he asked with a trembling voice, "You ?" "Just what are you planning to do to me ?"

"Shh!" Don't speak! "Very interesting." Gao Mucheng threw away the blade and picked up a handkerchief to wipe off the blood that was flowing from the back of the shopkeeper's hand.

Soon after, he took out a small Brocade Box and opened it up, inside which he carefully took out a green bean. His movements were slow and cautious, as if he were afraid he would miss the beans.

As he kept the Brocade Box, he asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper, have you heard of the Blood Spirit Vine? A plant that uses flesh as its soil, blood as its fertilizer, and spirit energy as its catalyst, it must be very magical! "

With that, he waved the green bean in his hand in front of the shopkeeper and said, "Don't underestimate this little bean. It's a Blood Spirit Vine's seed. It's priceless; a thousand gold is hard to come by."

The shopkeeper's face turned from white to green, from green to gray, and he screamed: "What are you going to do to me? What are you trying to do? "

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, and save some strength. Otherwise, it'll be meaningless if you don't make a sound when you're in so much pain. You've also wasted such a precious seed, haven't you?" While speaking, Gao Mucheng slowly placed the green bean in his hand towards the hole on the back of his hand.2
