Chapter 127: The Heart of a Beast with a Human Face
Shopkeeper Zhao spoke very arrogantly, and his eyes were a little sharp and serious when he looked at this group of people.
For so many years, he didn't want to fight with people, even if he encountered a robbery, he would be very serious to dissuade him, after all, you must know that no one's life will be any better in this year.
So a lot of times if you can deal with it calmly, you can deal with it calmly.
He still hoped to persuade the bandit leader, but the bandit leader didn't appreciate it.
"I haven't gotten anything I like yet, so I'll either send it up obediently or ......hit it now."
The bandit leader didn't want to say more, this saber-rattling look was like a fight.
Shopkeeper Zhao laughed and was not worried or scared at all: "I said you had better think clearly, we have more than 30 people here, all of them are strong laborers, if you really fight, who loses and who wins, it is not certain, don't think that your people are all practitioners, our people are not bad there, I will give you ten taels of silver, you get out of the way." ”
He didn't want to fight to the point where it was irreparable, he just persuaded these people to get out of the way, and he could say anything without embarrassing each other.
The shopkeeper is kind-hearted, Jiang Rujin knows, and Jiang Rujin also believes that everyone here understands.
It's just that the leader of the bandits doesn't think so, he thinks that the shopkeeper Zhao is insulting by doing this, and he looks down on him, so he looked at the shopkeeper angrily and said: "You also underestimate me, even if it's ten taels of silver, do you think our group of brothers are worthless like this?" ”
Shopkeeper Zhao knew that this matter could not be discussed, so he waved his hand and everyone picked up the knife: "Then let's fight." ”
He had already decided that since he couldn't get along, he would fight. Anyway, it's all like this now, are you still afraid that something will happen when the time comes?
The things he decided on his own would not be easily changed, and the bandit leader was also ready to turn back to his humanity when the shopkeeper spoke: "Don't leave a living mouth." ”
Jiang Rujin saw such a scene for the first time, and she really couldn't talk about it and hit it directly, she felt that these people were all powerful, and she herself was beyond her reach.
She held the knife in her hand and said to the coachman: "If there is a real fight, you can protect yourself, if you look wrong, you will run, you know?" ”
Although there are a lot of people in the two caravans, but these bandits are all deadly, and it is not certain who is more powerful in the real fight, and she doesn't want to be captured alive when the whole army is really wiped out.
Of course, she herself is not an ungrateful person, if she really can be useful, she herself can not be denied.
With this thought in mind, my heart settled down a lot.
She had more plans in her mind, wanting to see how many people would be able to rush forward.
Just when Jiang Rujin felt that he was about to fight, the man who had been in the convoy behind him stepped forward.
Jiang Rujin, the leader of the convoy behind, remembered seeing it at the previous inn. It's a man who doesn't speak well.
The man walked directly to the side of the shopkeeper Zhao. looked at the bandit leader calmly and said: "I think it's better for you not to hit the things behind me are from the court, I know who you are, everyone here knows who you are, I just want to say that the things pulled behind are very important to the court, and everything has marks on it." If it is really robbed by you, you will not be able to use it if you want to. Even so, it would be useless for you to hold it. On the contrary, the court will keep tracking you down, so that you will never have peace, what to do, I believe you yourself should understand very well, for the sake of your brothers and families, I advise you to accept our meaning, we will give ten taels of silver, you take the silver and leave. Wouldn't it be great that everyone would not have any casualties and losses, why bother to fight and kill, and what are the chances of winning at that time, I believe that you yourself should understand that none of my people are cowardly, and if they really fight, they will not die, so I advise you to think clearly and don't do foolish things. ”
This persuasion is particularly sincere, Jiang Rujin feels that this man doesn't speak, but it feels like he really has a little bit of truth when he speaks, and now it seems that he is right, after all, you must know that if you fight, you really don't know what the result will be.
The man's eyes began to hesitate, and the shopkeeper Zhao and the man's people stood up one by one, each of them looked like they were about to charge, but none of them showed their hearts and fears.
"Good!"
Although the bandit leader was reluctant, he also knew that what the shopkeeper Zhao said was right, and if there was a real fight, who knew what would happen, so he agreed, and he was a little unwilling in his heart, and he could only endure it.
Jiang Rujin finally breathed a sigh of relief, but now there is no fight, it is naturally best to be able to solve it peacefully, and it is good that the bandit leader agreed.
The shopkeeper Zhao and the leader of the convoy behind them all took the silver and gave it to the bandits.
Jiang Rujin still didn't relax holding the knife in his hand, taking people's money must be done as promised.
So after the bandit leader got the money, he turned around and left with his own people and entered the mountains and forests.
The back was relatively smooth, and the group arrived at the inn very smoothly, this journey everyone did not speak, everyone was very nervous, always worried that those people would go and return to ambush, they themselves must be prepared, otherwise something might happen.
Jiang Rujin arrived at the inn and directly gave the silver to the shopkeeper to send wine to the two teams of people to drink, this road is the most dangerous Now that it has passed, she plans to leave alone and will not follow the team tomorrow, please drink completely to thank these people for taking care of them along the way.
I have to say that these people really take care of her, Shopkeeper Zhao asked her from time to time along the way, and she still cared about her at any time, she felt that her heart was warm and natural, and now at this time, she had to do something she could do.
The shopkeeper sent the wine up, and the shopkeeper Zhao was a little puzzled and found Jiang Rujin and the coachman who were sitting in the corner eating.
He didn't sit politely next to Jiang Rujin directly, looked at Jiang Rujin and asked suspiciously, "Miss Jiang, what do you mean by this?" ”
Jiang Rujin looked at the shopkeeper with a smile and felt that the shopkeeper was really a little nervous, and looked at the shopkeeper with a little doubt and said, "I don't understand what the shopkeeper means." What does the shopkeeper mean by this? ”
Shopkeeper Zhao laughed: "Is Miss going to leave by herself tomorrow?" ”
His thoughts were seen through by the shopkeeper Zhao, Jiang Rujin looked at the shopkeeper a little embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "I'm really ready to leave here tomorrow, thank you for the shopkeeper's care of me, the next road will be safer, so I plan to go back by myself, thank you shopkeeper." ”
She is grateful once again, she is sincerely grateful to the shopkeeper for taking care of her, if it is not for the shopkeeper, it is unknown whether she can go through this journey herself.
These bandits are very smart, she knows, she can see it when she meets them before, but she is afraid that she has already known the information of their group, and the place where she chose to ambush is also more clever, in short, Jiang Rujin feels that it is better to stay away from this group of talents as much as possible, otherwise she will not be able to solve any trouble.
Zhao's shopkeeper did not keep it. It is also fate to meet in Pingshui, and it is best if you can see nature in the future.
He looked at Jiang Rujin very seriously and comforted: "You don't have to be so polite." Miss Jiang didn't bring us a lot of joy along the way, to be honest, I really didn't want to be a little reluctant when you said you wanted to go separately, if you could stay, it would be great, and I also knew that this matter could not be forced, but I did not force you to stay directly. Miss, you can do what you plan to do. If you can meet it in the future, it will be fate, and if you can't meet it, you can only say that the fate is shallow. ”
Jiang Rujin knew that Shopkeeper Zhao often went to Yuzhou City. Covering his mouth and smiling: "I really don't know what to say when the shopkeeper said this, I have always been in Yuzhou City, so if you come to Yuzhou City, you can come to me, and I will be able to drink with you at that time." ”
Jiang Rujin didn't say anything polite. She really planned to wait until Shopkeeper Zhao came here, and then the two of them could drink and talk, in fact, it was also very good to think about it.
The shopkeeper also regretted that he sighed helplessly in his heart: "I want to find you, but I don't want to continue after this trip, I'm old, although this age may seem very young to you, but for things like darts, I'm old, now I just want to be a little more relaxed, I don't want to worry so much about everything else, as long as I can eat and wear." ”
Running around, who knows who has happened to whom, he himself feels that he doesn't want to do this, so he wants to give up, why do you have to gamble with your life.
Jiang Rujin felt that what the shopkeeper said was right, thinking about it, the shopkeeper Zhao was really old, and she felt that it was still a little inappropriate to dart out of such a physical condition, so she was very worried about the shopkeeper's body just wanting the shopkeeper to be good.
"It's good to go back, at least you don't have to run back and forth outside, it's not very safe outside."
She thinks it's also because she has to do it, otherwise Shopkeeper Zhao is afraid that he won't always be outside to dart, and she has learned that Shopkeeper Zhao is actually not short of silver, just because of the left ear, she wants to do a good job all the time.
Shopkeeper Zhao smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly: "I don't know how to explain this matter to you, it's naturally not so safe outside, Miss Jiang will wish you a smooth journey tomorrow." ”
He also hoped that Jiang Rujin could return to Yuzhou City safely.
Jiang Rujin watched the shopkeeper leave, and those people drank wine and ate meat happily, she just ate a little bit and went upstairs.
She just asked for a round of wine, because she thought that these people still had to dart, so it wasn't too much, but after she went upstairs and slept for a while, she could still hear the sound of people drinking and punching below, she suddenly felt that these people were too good to drink, and some doubted that these people would be able to walk normally tomorrow.
Until the middle of the night, she was suddenly quiet downstairs, she had been very light and heard the sound of someone talking and drinking downstairs before she fell asleep, and suddenly everything came to an abrupt end, and she had to be cranky in her heart, so she stopped worrying when she heard such a sound.
It's not that she thinks about it herself, after all, she hasn't heard anyone go upstairs, even if she drinks hard, she has to go upstairs to sleep after drinking.
But she didn't hear the sound of going upstairs, she had to be careful when something like that happened during the day, she cautiously walked to the door and parked outside, and actually heard the sound of Xi Xi Suosuo, and also heard someone deliberately lower the voice.
Oops! Jiang Rujin was suddenly frightened in his heart, wasn't the person who spoke the bandit leader who was the leader, could it be that the people below were all dead? She didn't dare to think about it herself, but she felt that this matter was really scary.
She bit her lip and knew that these people would come up sooner or later, and the coachman was a man, so she wasn't very worried that these people would not kill innocent people, but she was a woman herself, and how could she not worry about the last time this group of people wanted to snatch her.
It's just that the only place in this room that can hide people is under the bed, she looked at the shelf above the bed in her heart, she walked over and stretched out her hand and touched the wood on the curtain and felt very firm, she opened the door bolt of the room herself, she felt that as long as it was not found by these people, and the bed would definitely be checked, so the only thing that could hide was only on the curtain, no one would have thought that there was a person hiding on the curtain, and after the bed was cleaned up, she carefully climbed up the curtain.
She knew that the curtain was unsafe, but she felt much safer than under the bed, and she could already hear the sound of someone coming upstairs, so she rolled directly to the position against the wall and looked out cautiously.
In this position, she could easily see the outside, but it was not easy to see her in this position, after all, it was night, and even if there was an oil lamp in the corner, it would not shine in.
Just when she was nervous, someone pushed the door open.
"Miss Jiang?"
Originally, Jiang Rujin thought that the person who came was a robber, but she didn't expect it to be the shopkeeper Zhao, she was suddenly overjoyed, but she didn't answer in a hurry.
Shopkeeper Zhao continued to shout: "Miss Jiang, you're fine." ”
She stuck out her head and saw Shopkeeper Zhao standing at the door, holding an oil lamp in his hand, but opened her door and frowned.
Although this is an inn, she herself just now also called the door latch in order not to let those people suspect that this house is occupied, but now the shopkeeper Zhao actually pushed the door in by himself.......
She knew that Shopkeeper Zhao was not the kind of person who was rude, but now she directly pushed open the door and came in to call her, and at the moment when she hesitated in her heart, she saw Shopkeeper Zhao turn around and close the door.
Then Shopkeeper Zhao took the oil lamp and put it on the table, and then walked to the bedside.
"Little Beauty will let me ...... tonight."
The latter words are really indescribable and unbearable, Jiang Rujin was very scared in her heart, and the shopkeeper Zhao, who was polite and caring for her before, suddenly became like this, she herself is not ignorant and doesn't understand anything, on the contrary, she knows a lot of things, she doesn't have to think about what the shopkeeper Zhao wants to do in front of her, she feels very scared when she thinks about such a person with a human face and a beastly heart.
The shopkeeper Zhao wasn't like that before.
