Chapter 89 So Reasonable

Qin Jie was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, I'll ask you to make a good comment. But since it's reasonable, if I talk to myself, it would be unfair. If the cause and effect are the consequences, you should ask the shopkeeper directly."

Zhou Tingfang immediately smiled and said, "Let me ask him? Are you not afraid that he will frame you?"

Qin Jie smiled distractedly: "If you don't even have the ability to distinguish between true and false, then what's the difference between speaking or not? In that case, you have to fight anyway, why should I talk too much?"

Zhou Tingfang's eyes lit up when he heard this and praised: "That's right. I wonder what you call me next?"

"Qin Jie."

Zhou Tingfang nodded and said nothing more. He immediately turned his head and asked his subordinates to bring the shopkeeper over, and asked with a slanted eye: "Tell me, what's the situation?"

"I've seen the Third Master." The shopkeeper who was arrogant and incited a group of people to attack Qin Jie was immediately trembling in front of Zhou Tingfang.

To be honest, as the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn, he is not big or small in Tianshui City. If Zhou Tingfang was just a simple deputy commander of the city guard, he would not show it too much even if he was afraid. But the problem is that the other party is the third son of the Zhou family. Although both the Zhou family and Zhou Tingfang have openly claimed to have severed the relationship, it is the Zhou family's bloodline after all, and it is not something outsiders can join in. If he, a small shopkeeper, dares not take eye on Zhou Tingfang, the first person to deal with him will definitely be the Zhou family.

Therefore, facing Zhou Tingfang, a person with an awkward identity, the Zhou family has always been respectful and dared not exceed the rules. This shopkeeper is naturally no exception. What's more, even if he put aside all his identities, Zhou Tingfang is still one of the seven most eye-catching masters in Tianshui City. He is still a person standing at the top of the pyramid of Tianshui City, and he is not something that ordinary little people can provoke.

After all, the shopkeeper was a man who was very good at observing words and expressions. After hearing Zhou Tingfang's words, he knew that he had a good impression of Qin Jie. If he was lying and said rashly, he would definitely not have a good ending. He immediately lowered his eyebrows and said with a pleasing look: "Third Master, this is the case. Isn't that the exchange competition in the town martial arts court in two days? There are many guests coming to my Yuelai Inn, and there are really no guest rooms. Although these guests said they had made an appointment with someone before, the man had already withdrawn voluntarily, so we gave the house to others. This matter should be nothing wrong, right?"

Zhou Tingfang looked at each other with his men and nodded without comment. The shopkeeper's words sounded reasonable, but if he thought about it carefully, it was a little cunning, and he picked himself up in a few words. Needless to say, everything that happened next was naturally wrong to Qin Jie and others.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper immediately changed his voice: "But these guests, when they heard that there was no guest, they attacked Xiao without saying a word. Third Master, Xiao beg you to give me a review and see who is wrong!"

After hearing this, Zhou Tingfang didn't say anything, pondered for a moment and turned to look at Qin Jie and said, "How? Do you have anything to say?"

Qin Jie glanced at him and said lightly: "How could the deputy commander have not noticed the loophole in this person's words? Why bother to ask this more?"

Zhou Tingfang smiled dissatisfiedly when he heard this. There was indeed a loophole in the shopkeeper's words. Since Qin Jie and his party were coming to participate in the Zhenwu Academy exchange competition, since they had already made an appointment, how could they take the initiative to withdraw? Using their toes, they knew that there must be something tricky in this.

Seeing Zhou Tingfang's eyes gradually turned cold, the shopkeeper suddenly felt panicked. Without waiting for the other party to ask, he hurriedly defended: "The third master clearly understands, everything the villain said is true. It is really the people from their Qiuyang Town who have retreated by themselves!"

"Who is the person from Qiuyang Town? Please point it out to me." Zhou Tingfang glanced at him and said lightly.

"This..." The shopkeeper was stunned. The person who checked out was not among Qin Jie and his party at all. How could he point it out?

However, the shopkeeper then turned his eyes and hurriedly said, "The person who checked out is not here, but it was not them who made the appointment. Since someone in Qiuyang Town has come to retreat, I can't ignore it, right?"

After hearing this, Zhou Tingfang's expression turned completely cold. Although this shopkeeper was considered clever, he was too clever to play this trick in front of him. At Zhou Tingfang's level, even if he had to reason, it was definitely not reasonable among ordinary people. It would not work for him to grasp a little reason like an ordinary person.

In a sense, the "reason" that Zhou Tingfang insists on is not the "reason" of discussing things based on facts, but the "reason" of discussing things based on people. If a person does not have the kindness of being a human being in his bones, then no matter how much he takes the reason in this matter, he will definitely say too much and make mistakes in front of Zhou Tingfang and can only make trouble. What's more, the reason occupied by the shopkeeper is not reliable.

"So, have you finished speaking?" Zhou Tingfang looked coldly at the shopkeeper in front of him who was in a state of fear and fear. The huge pressure spread out, which surprised everyone present.

Feeling Zhou Tingfang's bad habits, I thought that I had performed well and played these big figures in my hands. The shopkeeper, who was quite complacent, was suddenly confused: What's the situation? This is not what the script should be written!

Zhou Tingfang had a simple look, and the four city guards had already controlled a group of inn guards like wolves and tigers. They were promoted by Zhou Tingfang. Even if the other party was from the Zhou family, they would never frown more when they asked them to take action.

"No, no, Third Master, what did this say? The little one did nothing wrong?" The shopkeeper was really panicked now. Zhou Tingfang was different from others. Others still had to be afraid of the Zhou family. However, if he attacked his servant, the Zhou family would not even ask about it. If he beat him to death, he would be beaten to death. After all, he was just a servant, and it didn't matter.

Zhou Tingfang was too lazy to look at him more, but he still drank and said, "Don't you really think that a little cleverness can keep me in the dark, right? You can't even know how many pounds you are. Just make this point and you deserve to die."

As soon as Zhou Tingfang said this, his city guard immediately pressed the shopkeeper to the ground without any mercy. Because he pressed it too fiercely, the shopkeeper's chin hit the bluestone floor, and his teeth burst, blood was pouring out, and he was in a mess.

Such a sudden scene really shocked everyone present. What about the reasoning? Could this be the way this plague god preaches? This is too ingenious to explain the truth!
