Chapter 261: Hidden Arrows Are Hard to Defend Against
Zheng Bei was lucky this time, and he really found a herb seller in this Hecheng Building, but the herb seller was temporarily out of stock, but people said that the herbs that Zheng Bei wanted would definitely arrive within two days, so let him wait with peace of mind.
And because of the experience of buying seven-leaf Venus cloud grass last time, Zheng Bei really didn't want to run into Zheng Zheng when buying herbs, what if he was hindered by this kid and let himself spend more money?
So even though this was a wonderful opportunity for Zheng Bei to mock Zheng Zheng, Zheng Bei weighed it left and right and gave up.
Seeing Zheng Zheng walk away, Zheng Bei, who was happy in his heart, left his seat and came to the jade shop next to the antique shop.
There weren't many people in the jade shop, just two or three people. Zheng Bei greeted the boss with a smile, and while pretending to be picking jade, he said to the boss: "Boss...... Your store is a bit small, if this store can be bigger, business will be better. ”
"Isn't that what you said......" The boss also followed Zheng Bei's words, but there was also a bit of his true thoughts in the words: "But we are late, we can only rent such a small storefront, alas, there is no way to ......"
Zheng Bei smiled in his heart, pointed to the next door, and said, "Isn't this next door empty......? Speaking of which, it seems that the store is still open in the morning, and it will leave this afternoon, boss, you are close to the water and the building is the first to get the moon......"
The boss shook his head and said, "Let's go, it's not small, I know it." But, although the people are gone, the lease is still there, and I can't tell the people in the building that I want to rent this......"
When the two of them were talking, two or three people who were looking at the jade in the store glanced at each other, seemingly unintentionally, and moved their footsteps to Zheng Bei's side.
Zheng Bei didn't notice these abnormalities at all, and still chatted with the boss, wanting to take out something from the boss: "Oops...... It's just so inappropriate. But the store next to it is really powerful, and now there are so many people in this building who have such a good source of customers, they actually said they would leave, tsk...... What kind of business is this? ”
The boss thought for a moment and said, "Do you do the antique business...... I hadn't been paying attention before. Don't you know, this store is weird, just this afternoon, there were a bunch of people gathered in front of the store, all wanting to buy things. But the one who opened the store was really bullish, and he was not allowed to enter, and he couldn't even have money. But then someone went in, and I don't know what trick was used. I've been in business for so many years, and I've never seen such a person who has a grudge against money. ”
"Yes, this is indeed quite weird, ha......" Zheng Bei didn't think much about this question, and asked along with the words, "Then have you noticed that there is a young man who is about my age and has a small haircut who also went into this store to buy things? ”
"This ...... It seems that there is such a young man. Hey, the store next door today has entered a total of three waves of people since it opened, the first wave seems to be a middle-aged man, the second wave seems to be the young man you said, and the third wave is a woman and a few men......" As he spoke, the boss glanced at Zheng Bei suspiciously and asked, "No, brother, why are you inquiring about this?"
"This ...... Hi ......"
Zheng Bei's head turned quickly, and in an instant, he thought of a reliable statement, and said: "Don't I have a friend who boasted to me that he bought a lot of antiques here, and said that ordinary people can't get in." I made a bet with him that he was bragging, didn't I come and see it myself...... Who would have thought that this store would end up closing, alas, unfortunately...... But you just said that there was indeed a young man about my age who went in, are you sure?"
The boss nodded and said, "Basically, when the group of people gathered around there and told the boss that they wanted to go in, I was also watching at the door of the store, and the only one who went into the store was a young man with an inch head." But ......" The boss changed his words and said with a smile: "Brother, are you buying something or inquiring about the news......?"
Zheng Bei laughed: "Things are to be bought, and news is also to be inquired about...... This piece of jade is good, how much is it?"
After inquiring about such news, he really had to give people a little sweetness, Zheng Bei asked about it, so he picked up a piece of jade that looked good and talked about the price with the boss.
But as soon as he said this, before the boss could reply, Zheng Bei's shoulder was patted. Subconsciously turned his head to look, but there were two quite strong young men standing behind him, one on the left and one on the right, looking at him with unkind faces.
Zheng Bei sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Is there something wrong with the two eldest brothers?"
Looking back at the boss, Zheng Bei saw that the boss's face was also quite ugly, and he knew in his heart that these two people were not the boss's people.
There is a way that heroes don't suffer immediate losses, if it is only about the block, Zheng Bei is definitely not the opponent of these two big men, there is no need to suffer immediate losses because of a momentary anger. However, he was also quickly wondering in his heart, why did these two people find him? This is still in the Hecheng Mansion, if they rob here...... That's not a very sensible thing to do.
"It's fine. One of the young men with a scar on his face spoke, his hand was still on Zheng Bei's shoulder, and he used a slight force, if Zheng Bei wanted to escape, he could react immediately: "It's nothing else, if we want to talk to you, let's talk about the store next door." ”
"It's not. Zheng Bei spread his hands and frowned: "I haven't bought anything from the one next door, and you two can't talk to me about anything, right?"
Scarface was unmoved: "Don't worry, let's have a good chat, we will definitely be able to talk about something." ”
As he spoke, Scarface's hand on Zheng Bei's shoulder was forced, and he was actually trying to pull Zheng Zheng out of the store.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen......"
The face of the boss behind the counter was pale and pale, why did he not think that he would be involved in such a thing? If this young man was taken away from this shop, and there was any mistake, then the police would inevitably implicate him if he pursued him in the future. He smiled at the two of them and said, "Gentlemen, we have something to say, don't be like this." ”
Another young man who had not spoken all this time smiled at the boss and whispered, "Don't panic, boss, it's no big deal, let's really talk to him." This has nothing to do with you, you can rest assured. ”
After finishing speaking, the young man pushed Zheng Bei, who was not very neat in his footsteps, and Zheng Bei, who was reluctant and uneasy with the scar-faced young man, was brought out of the store in a row.
The two of them didn't find a remote corner, but took Zheng Bei directly to the row of seats where Zheng Bei was sitting before, and sat down on both sides of Zheng Bei.
There are people coming and going around here, which makes Zheng Bei's heart feel a lot more settled. Even if these two people wanted to do something again, they wouldn't dare to do it in front of everyone, right? Thinking like this, he put his heart back some.
Scarface smiled at Zheng Bei, but the scar on his face was even more hideous under this smile, making people feel a little relaxed: "Don't be afraid, the two of us either want to embarrass you, or I heard you say something about that antique shop in the store just now, and I want to talk to you." ”
Zheng Bei is really hateful...... He frowned, and said to the two of them helplessly: "I haven't bought anything in that antique store, and I don't know what's going on with that antique store." You think, if I really knew what was going on with the antique shop, should I ask the owner of the jade shop next to the antique shop? ”
Scarface shook his head and said, "I didn't want to talk to you about this...... We just heard it in the antique shop, didn't you have a friend who bought something in that store? Let's talk about your friend. ”
"Talking about this?"
Zheng Bei heard Scarface say this, and immediately relaxed. He looked at Scarface and smiled, "How do you want to talk? Does he have something to do with you? If you want to know anything, you can ask, and I promise to tell you everything." ”
Looking at this situation, Zheng Bei also figured out something meaningful, these eight achievements are that Zheng Zheng has made an enmity with these people, and now these people are looking for him, otherwise they can't have such an attitude towards themselves related to him. Zheng Bei, who had been thinking about how to clean up Zheng Zheng, realized that this was a ready-made opportunity, and someone could clean up Zheng Zheng for him without having to work hard, what was so difficult about it?
His obviously happy and somewhat unusual reaction made Scarface frown, "Is he your friend? You don't seem to have any kind intentions for him......
Zheng Bei smiled a little embarrassed, but he didn't hide it, and said: "If we can be considered friends if we know each other, then the two of us are indeed friends." However, the previous relationship between the two of us was definitely not enough to be friends. ”
"Okay, no matter what's going on between you, I'll ask you, and you can say whatever you know. Scarface didn't bother to ask what was going on between Zheng Bei and Zheng Zheng, waved his hand, and asked, "You said he bought a lot of antiques from that antique store...... Is this true?"
After asking, Scarface looked at Zheng Bei's somewhat hesitant look, and added: "You know is know, you don't know if you don't know, don't talk nonsense." ”
"This ...... It shouldn't be bad. Zheng Bei originally wanted to buckle Zheng Zheng with a big hat, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure out what was going on, if these people knew how many antiques Zheng Zheng bought, and he was talking nonsense, he would immediately know the authenticity under this comparison, and the loss in front of him would inevitably be eaten. In this case, it is better to say whatever you know, and let these people ponder, it is naturally best to find Zheng Zheng's trouble, and if you can't find it, there is no loss to Zheng Bei.
