My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 353 - 196: Evergreen Tavern (Part 3)

"Come in."

Li Changqing brought a few people in and then took a seat.

"Mr. Changqing, you might not know this, but Peng Ning, the flower thief caught yesterday, was killed in the prison."

Xiao Luo looked at Li Changqing and said.

"Oh? Is that really the case?" Li Changqing feigned surprise as he spoke.

"The killer didn’t leave a single clue. If Mr. Changqing knows anything, I hope you won’t hesitate to inform us." Xiao Luo had a feeling that this matter might be related to Li Changqing, but he didn’t know him well and had no evidence.

"Sure, if I find out anything, I’ll definitely let Captain Xiao know." Li Changqing said with a smile, "What kind of drink would you like? We have excellent peach blossom brew and firewater."

"Captain, let’s have the firewater. That peach blossom brew sounds like something for women," one of the bearded men said.

"Firewater might be a bit strong," Li Changqing reminded.

"Haha, that’s even better; what’s the point of drinking alcohol if it’s not strong?" the bearded man laughed heartily.

"And what about your appetizers? There are only four kinds? Let’s have one of each," another slightly weaker team member said.

"Just a moment."

Li Changqing said and went to the back to prepare the appetizers.

Zhang Fuguang helped with pouring the drinks.

Before long, the drinks were served first, and instead of cups, Li Changqing provided bowls.

With a drink like firewater, it’s more enjoyable to drink from a large bowl.

"Fill it up, fill it up."

The bearded man said impatiently, evidently a person who enjoyed drinking.

Zhang Fuguang filled each person’s bowl with the drink.

Instantly, the sharp aroma of the liquor hit everyone, and the scent immediately captivated them all.

The taste of this liquor already felt intense just from the smell!

The bearded man eagerly took a big gulp from his bowl!

With that gulp, the bearded man almost spat it out!

The moment it entered his mouth, it was like a wild horse galloping inside, more like a thousand soldiers charging down his throat.

That sensation was earth-shattering!

This liquor was worlds apart from the usual drink he had!

The bearded man’s face turned red in an instant.

The others weren’t much better, but their faces showed mostly shock!

"Great liquor!"

The bearded man exclaimed.

"Now this is the kind of drink a man should have!" another soldier said in amazement.

Even Xiao Luo couldn’t believe how astonishing this liquor was.

The appetizers hadn’t even arrived yet, and they had already finished a jar.

Immediately, they requested another jar.

Previously, they thought that a jar costing five qian of silver was quite expensive, but after drinking it, they felt it was well worth it.

Before long, Li Changqing also brought out the appetizers.

The other dishes were fine, but they had never tried the century egg salad before, and after tasting it, they simply fell in love with it indescribably.

The refreshing and elastic texture, combined with that special flavor, was so refreshing under the sauce, while the spiciness of the tiger skin pepper made the firewater even sharper in the mouth!

It was a perfect match.

They felt they had discovered a treasure tavern.

By the time they had downed three jars of liquor, they all started to feel a bit drunk.

The bearded man also couldn’t believe that he usually could drink six or seven jars with no problem, yet the four of them had only drunk three jars and were already tipsy.

"Really good liquor." The bearded man felt extremely satisfied with this drink.

"Sir, give me two jars to take away," the bearded man said to Li Changqing.

To his surprise, Li Changqing shook his head and pointed to the wall, saying, "Our Evergreen Tavern has a rule, dining in only, no take-out."

"Ah?"

"Sir, can’t you just sell me two jars?" the bearded man said somewhat dejectedly.

"Rules are rules, no take-outs, if you want to drink, just come over," Li Changqing said firmly, without any room for negotiation.

Li Changqing knew his liquor was bound to be popular, and if it could be taken out, no matter how much he brewed, it wouldn’t be enough. He didn’t intend to make money from it, so naturally, he prohibited take-out.

"The sir here has his rules, don’t break them, or he might throw you out," Xiao Luo said with a smile.

Hearing this, the bearded man couldn’t help but shiver.

Indeed, the sight of Li Changqing throwing Peng Ning out was still fresh in his mind.

That Peng Ning was a Postnatal Peak.

This mysterious tavern owner might very well be an Innate.

In the days that followed, Xiao Luo and his men frequently visited the Evergreen Tavern.

Not just Xiao Luo, but their friends who were brought along also became frequent visitors, and the tavern’s business became lively.

Meanwhile, from their conversations, Li Changqing heard a lot of miscellaneous information.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

According to Li Changqing’s calculations, Li Hengsheng should almost be at the National Guardian Mansion by now.

"Have you heard?"

"The Inspector of White Snake Dao at the National Guardian Mansion was transferred to Black Tiger Pool." At this moment, a voice in the tavern caught Li Changqing’s attention.

"White Snake Dao?"

Another person said in surprise, "White Snake Dao is a chaotic place, wasn’t it under the control of people from Beihan Country before? Black Tiger Pool used to be where the disciples from Dao Mountain Ancient Land were, right? I’ve heard that the law and order at Black Tiger Pool was very good, so why is the Inspector suddenly changed?"

"It’s typical."

"The reason being that the Governor of the National Guardian Mansion is from Beihan Country. The previous Inspector of White Snake Dao was the son of a Third Grade officer from Beihan Country. They pulled some strings, so naturally, he got transferred to a better place, whereas the Black Tiger Pool’s Inspector, originally from Dao Mountain Ancient Land, was supposedly replaced, so they got assigned to that chaotic place, White Snake Dao."

Someone explained.

"That’s really unfortunate. White Snake Dao is such a messy place. Previously, the powers-that-be gave some face because the Inspector was from Beihan Country, but now that it’s been replaced by a disciple from Dao Mountain Ancient Land, it’s going to be tough to manage. However, if the new Inspector is strong, that might be of some help."

"Strong? No way, I’ve heard that the new Inspector is just a Postnatal Realm disciple. Who knows what mistake he made to get assigned here; it seems like he’ll meet a tragic end!"
