Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1470

The White Lotus Taoist in front of me had no problem with his tone of voice or the ending of each word.

Even the way he spoke was exactly the same, confirming that the person who came to see him the first two times was also him.

Originally, Master Zheng was wondering if this person was a stand-in, which was why he appeared so brazenly, since a stand-in is dead and that's that.

But now it seems that's not the case, so there's only one possibility left: that the White Lotus Taoist has discovered something.

And it was a very serious matter, so serious that he had to risk showing up and dealing with the problem personally.

Just as Master Zheng was pondering this in his heart, the White Lotus Taoist standing not far away suddenly spoke up.

"Xiao Jinghai, come out with me, I have something to ask you!"

After saying this, the White Lotus Taoist turned and left the house, while Master Zheng's heart tightened and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

The White Lotus Taoist had never done this before; this action clearly indicated that he didn't want the White Lotus Taoist to hear certain things.

"No, I can't just sit here and wait to die, I have to think of a way."

Master Zheng was thinking anxiously, but then he heard Xiao Jinghai's footsteps behind him.

Upon hearing Xiao Jinghai's footsteps, Master Zheng's eyes lit up, and an idea immediately came to mind.

Then, as Xiao Jinghai walked past him, Master Zheng suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Jinghai's clothes.

Xiao Jinghai already loathed Master Zheng, and when the other man dared to grab his clothes, especially at the crucial moment when the leader wanted to ask him a question, he was furious.

He immediately raised his hand, ready to teach Master Zheng a lesson. After all, Master Zheng had brought this upon himself, so he wouldn't be scolded.

However, before he could even make a move, Master Zheng put on a pitiful look and said in a pleading tone:

"Mr. Xiao, I beg you, I beg you to say a few words to the cult leader so that he can give me the antidote sooner."

"I have accumulated some savings over the years. If Mr. Xiao is willing to help, I am willing to offer all of my savings!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinghai's raised hand froze in mid-air, motionless.

"Get to the point, we can't keep the leader waiting!"

Without saying a word, Master Zheng held up five fingers and said in a low voice, with a hint of reluctance:

"Five thousand taels is all my savings. If Mr. Xiao is willing to help me, I will give you five thousand taels later!"

"make a deal!"

Upon hearing the words "five thousand taels," Xiao Jinghai instantly felt like he was about to become rich and immediately agreed.

However, since the White Lotus Taoist was still outside, he didn't dare to say anything more, so after agreeing, he immediately stepped out of the room.

"Master!"

Upon arriving before the White Lotus Taoist, Xiao Jinghai first bowed, then stood respectfully to the side to wait.

Seeing this, the White Lotus Taoist nodded slowly, and then asked directly.

"After I left yesterday, did Master Zheng show any unusual behavior? Did he ever leave your sight?"

Xiao Jinghai was taken aback for a moment, then immediately bowed in response.

"Reporting to the Lord, he did not exhibit any unusual behavior, and I have strictly followed your instructions to stay by his side at all times."

"Even when he wanted to sleep in the small room next door, his subordinates refused and even threw his chair down, forcing him to sleep on the floor."

“He’s just disabled. Without that movable chair, he can barely move. There’s absolutely no problem.”

After hearing Xiao Jinghai's answer, the White Lotus Taoist did not speak, but his doubts could still be sensed.

So, seeing that the White Lotus Taoist was silent, Xiao Jinghai asked in a low voice from the side.

"My Lord, has something gone wrong?"

"Ok!"

The White Lotus Taoist didn't intend to hide anything from Xiao Jinghai, and nodded on the spot before continuing:
