"An outbreak of plague?" Li Huowang, who had just been about to leave, was instantly drawn by these two men's idle chatter. His intuition told him this might be exactly what he was searching for.
Completely ignoring Lv's Troupe on the stage, Li Huowang hurried over to the tall and fat pair, waiting for them to continue speaking.
But to Li Huowang's frustration, when he listened unintentionally, the two talked endlessly, but as soon as he focused, they clammed up.
So Li Huowang simply walked over to the fat man, gently nudging his shoulder with his elbow. "Friend, may I ask—what's happened in Pi County? Why do people say there's a plague? I've never heard anything before."
The fat man, who was deeply engrossed in the opera on stage, was visibly displeased by Li Huowang's question. "What's it got to do with you? Who are you anyway?"
But as soon as he saw the two pieces of silver Li Huowang offered, his eyes glazed over. The words of offense stuck in his throat and didn't come out.
