All the way west, out of Dongguan Street, came to a quiet alley.

Although it is the first household to enter the alley, the location is indeed a little off.

It's just that when she looked up and saw the four words on the plaque, Jia Qiang's face changed suddenly, and her heart suddenly twitched.

As the days passed, many things in his memory were almost forgotten......

Now that I suddenly see the place where Brother Xun studied back then, how can I not be excited?

Even if he knew it, this could not really be a private school where Brother Xun engraved the word "early", it was just a bookstore that sold books.

But this familiar name still touched the dusty memory in his heart......

Three Flavors Book House.

On the side, Li Jing saw Jia Qiang's complexion change, and a lonely look appeared in front of her, and she couldn't help but be shocked: "Master, what happened?" ”

Jia Qiang came back to her senses, exhaled softly, shook her head, and said, "It's okay, I just remembered some things from the past...... Let's go, let's see how this bookstore goes. ”

……

In the atrium, a middle-aged man, with a decadent look on his face, and an anxious tone in his tone, said: "Whether to buy it or not, give a happy word!" But that's all these things, and they're all in anyone's bookstore. I'll tell you, don't look at the place that is a little bit out of the way, but business is not bad. I have been in business for 50 or 60 years, and I have been in business for three generations, and there are many regular customers.

Other...... You take a look at these copper movable type, the latest version of the Bijia time-honored brand on Dongguan Street. There are also these seven or eight old firefighters, all of whom have been with my family for many years, and they can typeset and print books when they get started. And my house, what a good house, three before and after, only a few steps away from Dongguan Street, and so quiet, passed down for several generations! If it weren't for the fact that the brute in my family lost money in the gambling house and borrowed so much money for people to withhold, they would have chopped him up if they didn't give him silver...... You just want my life, and I can't sell my ancestral business! ”

In the backyard workshop, Jia Qiang played with a copper engraving with great interest, and after listening to the bookseller's words, she looked at Li Jing on the side.

Li Jing shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. Although she inquired about the origin of this bookstore, she had too little time to inquire in detail.

Jia Qiang thought for a moment and said, "Shopkeeper, even so, is three thousand taels of silver too expensive?" A high-class house in the capital is only four thousand taels of silver. ”

Unexpectedly, the owner waved his hand again and again and said: "Come on, if you are not in a hurry to repay the debt with silver, even if you give me more silver, I am not willing to sell this ancestral family business." You just think of this as a house, is my bookstore just an addition? Since you can't afford to give money, I won't waste much long-winded effort, and there are still people to see later, send off guests! In his opinion, judging from the clothes of Jia Qiang and the others, it is not like a person who can take out three thousand taels of silver.

Li Jing saw that she was disrespectful, and she was about to have a seizure, but Jia Qiang pulled her and took him out of the gate.

Li Jing gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "How can this be true! ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "His son was taken by someone, so naturally it is difficult to have a good temper. By the way, you go back and ask what's going on, and if you can't say it, bad things can become good things. Let's go shopping, see other homes and go home. But I like this three-flavor bookstore. ”

The two of them were talking and laughing and moving forward, not wanting to be stopped by four big men before they walked out of the alley.

Not far behind the four big men, there was a young man in brocade clothes, but for some reason he didn't step forward, he just looked at this side not far away, with a sneer on his face.

After the green-skinned man looked at Jia Qiang and the others with arbitrary eyes, he said with a smile: "Have you taken a fancy to Yujia Bookstore?" Listening to this, it doesn't look like the people of our Yangzhou Mansion, where did it come from? Yo, it looks like he's still a scholar, is there a fame? ”

Jia Qiang smiled faintly: "I haven't taken the exam yet." ”

The four big men laughed in unison when they heard this, and said: "Damn, Yuan Dao is a scholarly master, no matter how bad he is, he is also a husband, who knows that it is a good thing, just like us." ”

Without Jia Qiang opening her mouth again, Li Jing took a step forward and sneered: "The blue sky and the white sun are also bumping into customers, and anyone dares to stop me?" ”

"Hey! is as handsome as the rabbit Xianggong in South Lane, but his tone is arrogant and tight. Look at your dress, you don't look like a son from a rich and noble family, come here to get big? Obediently strip naked and let the master get out, hide a penny and stuff it in your eyes, run here in the future, and sell it directly to Nanxiang as a rabbit next time! ”

The leader Qingpi laughed angrily.

Like them, those who dare to mess around not far from Dongguan Avenue are not all successful, but they can't do without eyesight.

They know what kind of people can be bullied and what kind of people can't be bullied.

If it is a rich and noble family with rich clothes, they will not be easily provoked.

But Jia Qiang and Li Jing are just wearing light robes and Confucian shirts, and they don't even have jade pendants and sachets on their bodies.

If he is a rich and noble son, even if he does not want to swagger, he will never lack a jade pendant and sachet on his body.

But the two people in front of them really can't see the atmosphere of wealth.

And Li Jing spoke with a full mouthful of rivers and lakes, and the son of a serious rich and noble family would never say this, so the four green skins became more and more unscrupulous.

The young man not far from them sneered and shook his head in disdain.

Although Yangzhou is the world's first-class prosperous place, if it is said that this is the world's first-class peaceful place, it is self-deception.

Not to mention, which big salt merchant doesn't raise hundreds of or even more outlaws?

If it weren't for this, the salters in the yamen of the salt courtyard would not all have a murderous aura on their bodies.

The iron head and the pillar are willing to have a sincere relationship with the salt dings, just because they are not the soldiers in the Huai'an Hou Mansion.

So this year, although it can be called a peaceful and prosperous era in general, the dark side will never disappear.

Killing two foreigners is really nothing new for the local green-skinned bully......

Seeing that they were so arrogant, Li Jing didn't even have the heart to reason with them, glanced at Jia Qiang, and after seeing his indifferent face, he knew it in his heart, turned around and smiled at Qingpi who was the leader, and then slammed out without warning, and hit Qingpi's nose bone with a punch.

This blow instantly scrapped one of the opponent's combat power.

Qingpi raised his head and fell down with a miserable howl, but Li Jing was extremely neat, and before he fell to the ground, he had already taken advantage of his fall to get close to the second person, but he attacked his lower abdomen with his legs.

One foot was under the second person's dantian, and this person instantly became a lobster, and his eyes almost didn't pop out.

Li Jing used the power of the rebound to leap into the air and slash at the neck of the third person with a backhand.

The aorta was knocked once, and the third person collapsed and passed out.

However, Li Jing finally landed with all her strength, and looked coldly at the fourth person who was already confused......

Seeing Jia Qiang passing by Li Jing, she stepped forward step by step.

Seeing the sweat on the forehead of the fourth green skin, he swallowed his saliva and asked dryly, "You...... What do you want? This is Yangzhou Mansion, we are from the Qinghe Gang, our gang leader is from the Feng family in Yangzhou, you better not mess around, otherwise you will not be able to eat and go around! ”

Jia Qiang's footsteps did not stop, still approaching step by step, and Li Jing followed behind to press the formation, just in case.

But it's also her concern that is chaotic, she has already discounted the courage of these four green skins when she broke out before, the first three are miserable to the end, and the fourth one still has the courage to turn the waves.

Jia Qiang got closer and closer, and the fourth green skin was about to collapse, and he roared and shot, but Jia Qiang flashed and punched him under the armpit, and the fourth person also fell to the ground as he wished.

However, Jia Qiang's strength is far from being comparable to Li Jing, who has been practicing martial arts all year round, so the fourth screaming Qingpi can still speak......

Jia Qiang stepped on the palm of this person's hand, making his screams more real, Jia Qiang said lightly: "I only asked once, and the answer was unsatisfactory, so in the future, I will rely on one hand to bully the good." Who was the guy who just ran? Sanwei Study, what's going on? ”

The green skin wanted to pretend to be dead and not say anything, but as Jia Qiang's feet became more and more forceful, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and told the matter upside down.

Although it was not clear, Jia Qiang and Li Jing generally understood what was going on.

Li Jing is fine, but Jia Qiang's face is a little strange.

The owner of the Sanwei Book House spent a lot of money and found a lot of relationships to get the right to print an excellent book.

The other party was not convinced, so he found the Qinghe Gang and wanted to collapse the Sanwei Library, so the Qinghe Gang set up this game.

After the matter is completed, the three thousand taels of silver will go to the Qinghe Gang, and the printing rights of the Sanwei Bookstore and the book will belong to the other party's bookstore.

They don't want outsiders to intervene.

As for the one who ran away instantly when he saw that the situation was not good just now, it was the leader of the Qinghe Gang and the adopted son of the head of the Feng family.

Ben just stopped by to see the situation on the Yu family's side, but he didn't expect to meet Jia Qiang and the others......

After hearing this, Jia Qiang became a little curious, and asked: "Your Qinghe Gang is so powerful, you can design whoever you want, and you can still make people's families ruined, why do you still cooperate with others?" ”

Li Jing's Jinsha Gang has never done such a conscientious Longmen game, so he didn't tell Jia Qiang about it.

Hearing this, the green skin smiled helplessly and said with a wry smile: "There is no one in the purse of the serious people, unless they go to the gambling house by themselves." But if that's the case, there's no need to put up a game, sooner or later he will lose his ability, and finally sell his wife and daughter. Other rich households, like the Three Flavors Book House Yu Jia, are okay to do once in a while, but if they do too much, other rich families are not stupid, if they really arouse their annoyance, we will be in trouble. Besides, our helper is a child of the Feng family, and the Feng family does not allow us to do more such things in the countryside of Yangzhou. ”

Jia Qiang realized and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are also afraid...... Tell me, how many times did you do this in a month? ”

Qingpi's eyes dodged and smiled: "Uncle said that he laughed, it's good to be able to do it once a year...... Ouch, uncle, be merciful at your feet, the small bones are going to break, and the small ones have eighty old mothers...... "Xu is seeing that Jia Qiang was too lazy to pay attention to these, and pressed under his feet again, this green skin hurriedly and truthfully said: "There are really not many such things, and it will be up to the sky after doing two or three times in a month." That's it, I don't dare to pick on the rich to start, most of them are people who have a solid family background and no background, or there are daughters-in-law and daughters in the family, and the girls can also sell for money......"

Jia Qiang smiled when she heard this, but her eyes became colder, and she said to the frightened Qingpi: "I can guess that you are all veterans when I look at your robbery appearance." In fact, it is not surprising that there is no shortage of people like you in any dynasty and generation. But alas, the person you met this time is me. ”

After that, he suddenly exerted force under his feet, and he heard a "click", Qingpi stared and howled, but Jia Qiang snorted coldly, and after rubbing the soles of his feet on his clothes, he walked away with Li Jing.

Qinghe Gang, Feng Family!

Hum!
