Chapter 141 Master Diao
The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and led Diao Er and his group to the private room on the second floor.
After Diao Er left, the waiter looked at Qin Lang's legs nervously and asked:
"Sir, are you okay?"
Seeing Qin Lang shook his head, he turned his head to look at the stairs, and then whispered:
"Mr. Diao is a martial artist with great skills. No ordinary strong man can beat him."
The waiter straightened up as he spoke, and instantly let out a "hiss" of pain, holding his lower back with his hands.
Seeing this, Qin Lang wanted to go and see if he was seriously injured.
The waiter waved his hand and continued:
"Thank you for helping me. I'm fine. I'll be fine in a couple of days. But I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble!"
The waiter said with a worried look on his face:
"You two look unfamiliar to me, and I'm afraid you don't know the name of this Mr. Diao. He's been in the martial arts world for many years, and those who are familiar with him are all skilled in martial arts."
"He collects protection fees from shops and stalls on the busiest streets of An County. He's the only one who actively causes trouble for others; ordinary people don't dare to mess with him."
"Master Diao has a close relationship with the officials in the county government, and they often drink together. Master Diao doesn't care about anyone else."
The waiter seemed to remember something and continued:
"Oh, he's also afraid of Master Yan from earlier. Master Yan has a martial arts troupe. Although the number of martial artists isn't as large as Master Diao's, Master Yan is the martial arts master of the county magistrate's son."
"Because of this, even though Master Diao is a tyrant, he doesn't dare to offend Master Yan."
After listening to the waiter's words, Lu Qingqing also had some understanding of Diao Erye's strength.
The waiter said this with a worried look on his face:
"Mr. Diao has always held grudges. A while ago, a kid from the county got on his nerves, and he was found drowned in a well a few days later. He and his entire family were constantly in trouble, so they had no choice but to move away secretly."
"If you two are not from An County, you'd better leave as soon as possible to avoid trouble."
Seeing his waiter's pale face, Lu Qingqing couldn't help but ask:
"What about you? What if Master Diao gives you trouble again?"
The waiter forced a smile and said comfortingly:
"I'm fine. The shopkeeper is a good man. He sent me a table of signature dishes and a few jars of good wine. Master Diao will eat and drink well. At most, he will beat me up to vent his anger. It's not a big deal."
Lu Qingqing frowned, fearing that it wouldn't be as simple as the waiter said. She still had to find a way to solve this problem.
Mr. Diao is a vengeful person, and I guess this matter can't be easily put behind us.
Even if they leave now, the old village chief and his group will stay in An County.
Everyone in the inn knew that they were a group, and they couldn't let the old village chief and his group be harmed because of them.
Lu Qingqing glanced upwards a few times and came up with an idea.
After asking the waiter to pack up the remaining food, Lu Qingqing took Qin Lang out.
Not long after leaving the restaurant, Lu Qingqing felt someone following her.
She turned two streets and the man followed her closely.
Qin Lang tensed up and whispered to Lu Qingqing:
"Daya, she was in that group of people just now."
Lu Qingqing nodded slightly. She had naturally noticed that it seemed that Diao Er really had no intention of letting them go.
In that case, don't blame her for taking the first step.
This guy followed me too closely and I couldn't get rid of him even after walking around several streets. Since I can't get rid of him, I'll just give up.
There was a pharmacy up ahead, so Lu Qingqing pulled Qin Lang in.
After entering the room, I looked at the name of the medicine written on the box and remembered the external injury medicine I had prescribed before.
He asked for a few more herbs, and when he saw henbane, he remembered that it was poisonous, so he asked for some too.
The pharmacist behind the counter looked at her warily and said:
"The medicine you want contains hyoscyamine, which is poisonous. Why are you buying it?"
Lu Qingqing smiled at the medicine boy and said:
"This medicine is for painkillers, so I can't elaborate on the specific prescription."
When the medicine boy heard her say this, he stopped asking questions and prepared the medicine for her according to the prescription she had given.
During this time, the man outside was wandering around the store door.
Lu Qingqing had planned to look for another opportunity at night, but since he insisted on not letting her go back, she decided to get it over with as soon as possible.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang took the medicine and returned to Qianwei Tower.
The waiter looked anxious when he saw them coming back.
After seeing the man following behind them, his face turned pale and he lowered his voice and said:
"Why are you back again? Hurry up and leave now while Master Yan is still here!"
Lu Qingqing smiled at him and said:
"I remembered that some of my relatives hadn't eaten yet, so I came back to order some more dishes to take away."
As Lu Qingqing spoke, she ordered more than a dozen dishes, ignoring the waiter's anxious look.
After paying, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang looked for a place to wait for the food to be served.
During this time, the waiter sent two jars of wine upstairs.
Seeing this, the man became even more greedy.
After running for several blocks with these two people, he was already starving.
At this moment, seeing that the two of them are still waiting for the food, they probably won’t be able to leave for a while.
He hurried upstairs, intending to get something to eat first.
As soon as the man left, Lu Qingqing took Qin Lang to the backyard of the restaurant and checked the toilet inside and out.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, the two of them went straight into the space.
Lu Qingqing decided to wait for this opportunity, as Diao Er would definitely go to the toilet after drinking too much.
After waiting for a long time, many people came to use the toilet. Lu Qingqing looked away awkwardly.
Fortunately, the air at the entry point of the space cannot be transmitted in.
After waiting for a long time, I finally got the chance.
Master Diao hurried in, pulling the belt around his waist, untied it, faced the urine bucket by the wall, and started to pour water into it.
Lu Qingqing took the opportunity to escape from the space, stabbed him in the neck from behind, and put him and the knife into the space together.
She didn't pull out the knife, and blood didn't splatter, but two drops of blood still dripped onto the ground.
She quickly wiped the blood with the rag in her other hand, went to the door, and released Qin Lang after seeing that no one was there.
The two returned to the first floor to continue waiting for the food. Lu Qingqing looked at Master Diao who was no longer breathing in the space.
I decided to wait until I was out of the city and then find a chance to dispose of the body.
When the waiter saw that the two were still waiting, he couldn't help but feel worried for them.
Just now when he went upstairs to deliver the wine, Mr. Diao stared at him with a look that made him feel uneasy.
The waiter wanted to persuade them a few more times, but was called away by the customers.
Lu Qingqing now felt relieved after solving her troubles.
Before the food was ready, a few people came down from upstairs, drunk.
Those people went to the backyard and came back after a while, asking the shopkeeper where Mr. Diao Erye had gone.
The restaurant was crowded with people and the owner couldn't see it, so he asked a few waiters to help look for it.
A group of people were searching the restaurant for someone, searching everywhere, even the private rooms.
When those people saw Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang, they glared at them fiercely.
But thinking that Master Yan was still upstairs, they didn't make a fuss and continued looking for someone.
The result was that they couldn't find it. Those people thought that Mr. Diao had gone back for something, so they sent someone back to check.
Thinking that the food and wine that Mr. Diao had treated them to today should not be wasted, the rest of the people went back upstairs to continue eating and drinking.
