610: Nice guy

"What do you mean? Are you trying to drag me down with you? I'm just a doctor who sells medicine. You bought medicine from me, so we have a customer and Boss relationship!" Brother Yao's eyes widened in the night, his words containing hidden anger.

The Man outside, wrapped tightly from head to toe, clung on stubbornly: "But the County Magistrate's only son died after taking the poison you sold, isn't that right?"

"If I really get caught, and I can't stand the torture and reveal that you sold me the medicine, will the County Magistrate care if Brother Yao you are innocent? Besides, Brother Yao, you also knew about my plan to poison the County Magistrate's son, you are not innocent either!"

Since things had come to this point, the Man no longer held back.

"You!" Hearing the words of the person outside the door, the Man inside was so angry he grabbed the other's collar and slammed him hard against the wall.

After heavily panting for a moment, Brother Yao looked at the Man in front of him and finally gritted his teeth, saying, "You can only hide here for two days. After two days, you must get out of here!"

After speaking, Brother Yao shoved the Man into his courtyard, glanced down the alley, and finding no one, quickly closed the courtyard gate.

A weed on the ground nearby swayed slightly. Ning Buxiu in the Ning family bedroom rubbed his chin.

This is the capability of the camera.

The murderer, whom the County Magistrate had used the entire city's power to search for over a month without success, was directly seen by him by inputting Little Grass.

"Young Master, shouldn't we depart?" Outside the door, the maidservant softly reminded him.

From the time perspective, the poetry gathering would formally begin in a little while.

It was about time for them to head over now.

"Mm, let's go." Ning Buxiu checked the situation around Wanhua Brothel through the surveillance.

That side was still in the preparation stage.

However, on other roads in the city, carriages of Gaopeng Family disciples were already heading towards Wanhua Brothel.

...

For Ning Buxiu, the carriage as a mode of transport was not comfortable to sit in.

After all, it had wooden wheels, and any bumps or vibrations on the ground could be clearly felt in the carriage.

The only shock absorber was the cotton cushion they sat on.

Fortunately, in Five Directions City, the main streets were paved with flagstones, so the road surface was relatively smooth.

Lifting the carriage window, a few drops of cold rain hit Ning Buxiu's face, making his thoughts a little clearer.

Looking at the surveillance footage on the System panel in front of him, a serious expression appeared in Ning Buxiu's eyes.

Since he could monitor the entire city through those Little Grass cameras, he could naturally also detect the demons, monsters, and Ghosts within the city!

After all, in his eyes, this map rewarded by the System was meant for him to avoid Ghosts in the early stages.

In the current image, there was clearly a Ghost creature with its hands hanging down, long hair disheveled, covered in mud like a beggar, leaning against the entrance of an alley several hundred meters ahead!

The reason he was so sure it was a Ghost was because, in the image, he could vaguely see that this Ghost creature had appeared in that area instantaneously!

"Stop!" Ning Buxiu's unquestionable voice came from inside the carriage.

"Whoa~" The coachman quickly pulled the horse to a stop: "Young Master, we haven't arrived yet?"

"Take the East road," Ning Buxiu said.

"East? That will take quite a detour."

"Do as I say."

After Ning Buxiu's tone became heavier, the coachman stopped talking and quickly said yes.

The carriage turned into the East alley. The road in the small alley was clearly uneven.

However, Ning Buxiu didn't pay any attention to this, his eyes fixed on the surveillance footage in front of him.

If his guess was correct, this guy was the demon from the book who sought out the original host and wanted to merge with him!

He hadn't expected that this guy had already set his sights on him when he was just going to attend the Wanhua Brothel poetry gathering!

It was also fortunate that he had the surveillance cameras exchanged from the System. Otherwise, if he had foolishly gone directly to Wanhua Brothel and then tried to find a way to avoid the demon after it ended, everything would have been too late!

After changing the route, Ning Buxiu found that the Ghost creature had not changed direction to follow him.

While watching, he suddenly saw a carriage that had taken the road he had just been on, heading towards the Ghost creature at the intersection ahead...

This was the Qiong family, one of the four major Gaopeng Families in Five Directions City.

If the estimation was correct, sitting in the carriage was the Qiong family Young Master, Qiong Juanshu.

"Could it be..." Ning Buxiu muttered to himself, his eye twitching slightly.

It wasn't long before he saw the Qiong family carriage pass through the area where the demon and Ghost creature were located without any pause.

"This cold rain in late autumn has been falling for almost ten days, and there are still beggars alive outside, that's rare," Qiong Juanshu, holding a folding fan, glanced at the beggar by the roadside from behind the opened carriage curtain, then paid no further attention and lowered the curtain.

Neither the moving carriage nor the people inside noticed any change.

However, Ning Buxiu could clearly see through the Little Grass camera that the demon at the intersection, as if confirming a certain person, slowly raised its head, its jet-black pupils without whites looking at the departing carriage, its mouth filled with dense, sharp teeth slowly splitting open like a beast, spitting out blood!

"Tsk, benefactor," witnessing this scene, Ning Buxiu could only let out a sigh of emotion.

It wasn't long before Ning Buxiu arrived in front of Wanhua Brothel and found that more than half of the people had already arrived.

"Brother Ning!" As soon as he got out of the carriage, Ning Buxiu saw two peers in the distance greeting him.

The two people before him were none other than Qiong Juanshu, who had been hit by the 'jackpot', and Wang Shang, the legitimate son of the Wang Family, another of the four major Gaopeng Families in Five Directions City.

Seeing these two, Ning Buxiu himself felt a bit in a daze.

Seeing the two characters he had casually written about in the book with his own eyes, he still felt a sense of emotion.

The positioning of these two was similar to Ning Buxiu himself; they were both early-stage villainous opponents of the protagonist Zhou Wuji in Five Directions City.

Accordingly, their later fates were quite tragic.

"Brother Ning, I heard you set off early, so how did you end up being the last one among us to arrive? You made us wait for a while," Among the two people before him, Wang Shang was more familiar and talked more.

"I encountered some trivial matters on the way and was delayed," Ning Buxiu replied with a smile, putting himself in the original host's position.

"That's right, you'll have to fine yourself a cup later to compensate Brother Wang and me for waiting so long," Qiong Juanshu held his folding fan open. He was still fanning himself in the middle of deep winter. Although it was cold, the posture was cool.

"One cup? No, that's not enough! I'll toast Brother Qiong three cups separately later!"

"Toasting me three cups separately? Brother Ning, you're making me feel uneasy, haha," Qiong Juanshu said with a laugh.

"You deserve it. Brother Qiong is a great person who only does good deeds, you are worthy of three cups of toast," Ning Buxiu's words were truly sincere.

How could he not be sincere? This person had directly helped him divert the demon and become the chosen one for the demon.

"Hahaha, Brother Ning, you're joking," Qiong Juanshu was a bit embarrassed by such praise,

But the fan in his hand fanned a little faster, as if showing the pride in his heart.

The Ning family had always shared three-fifths of the civilian wealth in Five Directions City with the Zhou family, with the remaining portion belonging to their Qiong family and Wang Family.

Therefore, when the three of them gathered together, they mostly deferred to Ning Buxiu.

Now, Ning Buxiu's flattery made Qiong Juanshu feel a bit lightheaded.
