Chapter 280: Come to the door

Although Wu Liumo had only just taken office at that time, as a Lord City God, his cultivation would certainly not be too low.

Therefore, Wu Liumo felt that if these few had truly encountered that thing, they would most likely have met a tragic end.

He Xiuyuan's heart sank upon hearing this.

What the other party said wasn't entirely wrong; when he previously performed divination, it seemed that several of them had already met with misfortune, and he just didn't know how the remaining two were faring.

"Although that's the case, we still need to search for them, and even if these Fellow Daoists have already met with misfortune, perhaps they left behind clues to finding it," He Xiuyuan said, sighing.

Although he didn't know what had happened to those few, he still had to search for them.

Wu Liumo nodded gently at his words, "Hmm, I was just saying that the hope might not be too great. As for searching for these few, I will have my subordinates do their best to find them."

He Xiuyuan's expression relaxed upon hearing this, "Many thanks to Lord City God. I will stay in Yunhua County these few days, and if I encounter any demons causing trouble in Yunhua County, I will also take action."

Knowing that the other party was still concerned about the Common People in Yunhua County, He Xiuyuan spoke up at this moment.

With his abilities, if he truly encountered any demons entering Yunhua County, he would still be capable of subduing them.

"Good, then I can rest assured."

Seeing He Xiuyuan say this, Wu Liumo also felt relieved, then smiled broadly.

"Speaking of which, there's one more thing."

He Xiuyuan thought of something at this moment, then took out a small cloth bag from the side, which was filled with copper coins.

Wu Liumo looked at the copper coins in the bag and immediately looked at He Xiuyuan with some confusion.

"This is...?"

Wu Liumo looked at He Xiuyuan with some surprise, wondering why He Xiuyuan had taken out this bag of copper coins. Could it be that he was asking for his help and offering money as a reward?

If that were the case, He Xiuyuan might be thinking a bit too much.

One must know that as an Underworld City God, he had no use for these things, and his help to He Xiuyuan was entirely due to that extraterrestrial objects.

"These coins were given to me by someone I met when I came in. He..."

Seeing Wu Liumo ask about the money, He Xiuyuan immediately explained the situation briefly, finally saying, "This money is ill-gotten gains. I wish to distribute it among some of the poor Common People here."

"With Lord City God's ability, it should be very simple to distinguish who needs this money."

"Therefore, I must trouble Lord City God with this matter."

Upon hearing this, Lord City God's expression immediately turned into a smile, "So that's it. If it's about this, then of course I'm willing to help."

Knowing that He Xiuyuan was not giving him money to thank him, Lord City God also became quite happy, nodded, and accepted the money.

As for the few people He Xiuyuan mentioned earlier, Wu Liumo didn't say much. Every place has both bad and good people.

Although the other party had defrauded a Cultivator, they were still a Mortal, so he, an Underworld God, naturally wouldn't do anything to them.

If he truly wanted to punish them, it would have to be after their death, when their soul arrived in the Underworld, that he could administer some punishment.

Moreover, the other party had already been punished by He Xiuyuan; all the fine baihua brew in their wine cellar had vanished, which was enough to make them heartbroken.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and chuckled.

Seeing that this matter was settled, He Xiuyuan and Wu Liumo also chatted about other things, and at the same time, they asked the waiter to bring up the dishes. The two ate and chatted...

"Waiter, what's wrong with your baihua brew? Did you water it down? I spent thirty taels buying baihua brew from you, and you're giving me watered-down wine? Do you think I'm an outsider who doesn't understand baihua brew, and you want to rip me off?"

Inside the restaurant, Liu Yuanyi had not yet left. Having received his silver at this moment, he was living a bit luxuriously, drinking opposite others.

However, although he was being luxurious, he wasn't drinking baihua brew. The small amount of silver he had just received wasn't enough for him to drink it.

Everyone was drinking their own homemade wine.

Just as they were drinking enthusiastically, they suddenly heard these words and immediately looked at the speaker. When they saw the person, everyone present was stunned.

The person who came was a neighbor from nearby. These neighbors actually knew what they were doing, but because they had never harmed their neighbors, these neighbors would come here to support them.

But now, they didn't know this place and were saying that the baihua brew sold here was watered down.

"Oh, it's Brother Lin. Have you perhaps made a mistake? How could we possibly give you watered-down wine?" The waiter came out upon hearing the voice, and his expression changed slightly when he saw the person, then he quickly bowed and said.

The person who came, however, spat directly, "I made a mistake? The moment this wine touched my lips, I knew something was wrong. You're saying I made a mistake?"

Saying this, the person directly placed the wine jar heavily on the table, "If you don't believe me, taste it yourself!"

The waiter couldn't help but glance into the wine jar, then carefully poured a little into a bowl. After tasting it carefully, his expression immediately changed.

"Manager..."

This matter was beyond his authority, so he could only call the manager.

The manager walked out with a frown upon hearing the voice. He had already heard the voice earlier but had told the waiter to handle it first. Now that the waiter was calling him, he must have tasted the wine and knew the taste was off.

Thinking of this, he came over and looked. He confirmed that the wine jar was theirs and the seal was correct.

Seeing this, he immediately poured a mouthful of the wine inside. Upon tasting it, his expression changed slightly.

This was their own wine, no mistake.

He could taste his own watered-down wine.

However, according to this seal, the wine inside shouldn't have been watered down. How did it become watered-down wine?

The manager was puzzled and looked at the wine jar with a frown.

"Manager, what do you say!" Brother Lin stared at the manager fiercely and asked in a low voice.

If the other party didn't admit it, he wouldn't be polite!

"Please wait a moment, I'll go get you a replacement wine right away!" The manager took a deep breath and immediately said.

The other party was a local, familiar with everyone. If he dared not admit it, then this restaurant wouldn't be able to operate here.

If the other party came to cause trouble every now and then, this business simply couldn't continue.

Thinking of this, the manager turned and walked towards the wine cellar. For some reason, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, something wasn't right.
