According to the rules of the Spring Festival of the rivers and lakes, all houses with walls on all sides and buckles on the top are collectively called "kilns". Of course, the Spring Festival is a general canon, just like the official dialect. In addition to this, some industries have their own set of cuts; It's not easy to figure it all out.

As long as it is a store, it can be collectively called "kiln"; The cheapest shops are called tile kilns; And those high-quality restaurants with single rooms, single courtyards, high beds and warm pillows, and can also handle wine and food banquets, are called fire kilns; There is wine, tea and side dishes, but there is no master master in the shop, it is called a kiln; The village field store set up near the official road is called the road kiln.

However, the layman knows this statement, and he can't use it casually; For example, "bitter kiln" does not mean that the condition of the store is bad, but that it is a prison; "Fruit kiln" is not talking about a fruit confectionery shop, but a weathered place......

In fact, the middle-aged guest officer did not make any mistakes, nor did he look like a half-open face who had been hit by mistake; But in the realm of Nankang, although there is no crime in the rivers and lakes, it is easy to be wiped by the people who listen to it. Therefore, in line with the idea of carefully sailing the 10,000-year-old ship, the shopkeeper Zhu's calculation also stopped temporarily. He raised his head, looked at the guest opposite, and said angrily:

"What kind of heaven and earth card? I still don't understand! If the guest officer wants to play with both hands, he may have come to the wrong place. Our Zhujiadian is a serious inn, not a nest of indiscriminate gambling. If you want to play, you can walk along the riverbank all the way north, and you will find a good place to go within three miles. ”

Although the words are a little polite, they are still businessmen; However, after hearing this, the guest officer squeezed a sneer out of his nose, casually removed the bench that had been buckled upside down on the table, and sat on it with his ass:

"The gauze hat is born with a ruler, and he is also an old man, why do he have to go to the sky? (Why do people in the official family have beds to sleep in, but I have to sleep on the table when I am the same as you?) ）”

Shopkeeper Zhu frowned, and immediately returned to normal, continued to lower his head and crackled the arithmetic domain, not daring to look at the man opposite:

"The guest officer is from Waifu, right? I am stupid in my lower ear, and I really can't understand your native dialect. ”

"Hmm...... Small lock door, hundred birds, cuckoo. ”

Shopkeeper Zhu raised his head suddenly, carefully looking at the middle-aged man who called himself "Qin Qiu Qin Zigui"; After staring suspiciously for a long time, he spit out four words to him, but it was still in the vernacular:

"How so?"

"That young man of yours stole fourteen copper coins from the cabinet and hid them in his white hall cloth......

Speaking of this, Qin Qiu stretched out his empty right hand and shook it in front of Shopkeeper Zhu; Then it landed lightly on the counter of the railing. Immediately after that, the right hand slowly swiped, and the fourteen copper coins were lined up one after another......

This is called a thief eating a thief, and the more he eats, the fatter he gets! The two of them obviously hadn't met each other, but Qin Qiu was stunned and stole the stolen goods back!

Shopkeeper Zhu quickly looked out of the door, and at the same time stretched out his hand to put the copper coin into his arms, and hung a small lock on the silver box, and then looked at the old abacus on the countertop and was stunned!

But Qin Qiu watched the young man steal the silver with his own eyes, and now that he Zhu Shopkeeper had also seen the thief with his own eyes, why didn't he say a word?

Qin Qiu asked in wonder:

"Since you are from Liyaokou (opening a hotel), why did you recruit a six-fingered guy? The dog you scolded just now was bloody, and now that he is out of the water (the case was committed), why don't you ask? ”

"Hey,...... A son stealing his father can't be considered a thief. ”

As soon as the shopkeeper Zhu said this, Qin Qiu finally understood: it turned out that this young man with unclean hands and feet turned out to be the young shopkeeper of this Zhu family's shop! Since he is a family god and a haunter, he is an outsider, so it is inconvenient for him to interfere.

After the two of them crossed the aisle in a low voice, Qin Qiu also had a certain degree of understanding of this Zhu shopkeeper. It turned out that this old shopkeeper Zhu, who was slightly chubby and had a simple face, turned out to be a water thief, and he was also a small leader, ranking among the four beams and eight pillars, that is, the logistics manager and the bookkeeper.

As early as more than ten years ago, their Taihu Lake water thieves were completely wiped out under the encirclement and suppression of Di Ting and the Nankang Water Army. It's just that he was originally a guy from a grain store, and he was also robbed by water thieves unintentionally in the process of transporting grain trucks; For many years, they only settled accounts and managed food, and did not harm human life; With the witness of the grain store master, the foundation has also become very clean. Therefore, after the water village was burned, the competent officials at that time counted him as a meat ticket tied by the water thieves and directly released him.

The shopkeeper Zhu, who never died in two catastrophes, used his years of deducting the water thief rations he had accumulated over the years to open such a large-scale shop; married a wife and had children, and lived a peaceful life for more than ten years.

In this way, there is nothing wrong with the shopkeeper Zhu; But for Qin Qiu's plan, it was a little troublesome.

It turned out that after Qin Qiu learned that Lin Siwei appeared in Nankang, he immediately went south in the starry night and rushed to Nankang. Now the people of the entire Huayu Continent think that Shen Gui is dead; In addition to Yan Qinghong and Wan Changning, who must know the inside story, Qi Yan and Qi Hui also learned the news.

After Qi Yan solved the ghost hand gate Su Qingxiu, who wanted to poison and break through, he is now waiting for the opportunity in Qingshan City on Zhongshan Road; Qi Hui formed a group of Youbei Mission, which had just left the Eastern Customs and was ready to start formal talks with Beiyan. They were all arranged by Shen Gui for very important things, and they couldn't get out of their bodies for a moment and a half; So after Qi Yan heard the news of Lin Siwu's appearance, he planned to entrust his affairs to his fellow senior brother Qin Qiu.

However, Qin Qiu rejected Qi Yan's request, but responded to Lin Si's concern and personally came to Nankang to save people. Because if Qi Yan went south, the people of Xiaoqimen would indeed listen to his dispatch, but Bainiao would not buy his account; And if Qin Qiu stayed in Qingshan City, neither Ding Shuo, the general of Taining, nor Huang Yumei, the governor of Zhongshan Road, would take his words seriously.

It is true that Qi Yan is a snitch, but he is not a person of a hundred birds; And although Qin Qiu is Qi Yan's own senior brother, he is not from Youbei, and he can't gain ten percent of his trust. The reason is as simple as that.

It wasn't until Qin Qiu entered the Gusu ground that he immediately heard the news that Lin Siwei had entered the Gusu Mansion. However, Bainiao's people were busy for an afternoon, but they still didn't find any news about Shen Gui. It was precisely because he was not sure of Shen Gui's plan that Qin Qiu could only take action on his own, which should be a backup plan. If there is really any accident on Shen Gui's side, he will save Lin Siwei by himself.

So what did he come to Zhujiadian today to do? The answer is also very simple, steal the guy.

These one hundred and twenty swaggering relief soldiers who have swaggered through the market, the heavenly machine crossbow in their hands, and the Erlang Divine Fire Gun on their backs, are all extremely powerful murderous weapons! Maybe these things are not a threat to Qin Qiu; But for the rest of the birds, it is an extremely deadly weapon.

And the scariest thing is that this thing is extremely convenient and simple to use; Even people who have not undergone special training can play with it for a while.

So Qin Qiu planned to destroy all the guys they put in the inn; Kill and wound as much as possible the living force of the Worry Relief Army, and it is best to assassinate all the 120 tiger and wolf divisions before midnight. Then the birds traveled at night and went straight to the Gusu Mansion.

However, the problem lies with the father and son of the shopkeeper Zhu. said that he was a river and lake road, but the shopkeeper Zhu was a water thief who went ashore; He said that he was a good citizen, and he did make a name for himself on the bottom of the sea of water thieves. For them, no matter whether Qin Qiu's move succeeds or fails, this Zhu family store will not be able to open any longer; But the father and son of the family have a good life, why bother to cause them such trouble?

Could it be that in order to save a Lin Siwor, he is going to harm the Zhu family's father and son?

Coincidentally, just when the two of them were chatting, a sturdy "grandfather" walked in angrily outside the door:

"Shopkeeper, I didn't see it! Your Zhujia shop turned out to be a black shop! Today, Lao Tzu has just received fifty taels of silver; But as soon as I landed in your shop, there were only forty taels left when I arrived at the gambling house! I don't care who stole it, the silver was lost in Zhu's store! So today you have to give me an explanation! ”

Shopkeeper Zhu glanced at Qin Qiu in surprise, but Qin Qiu only shook his head vaguely and did not speak. After knowing the bottom of his heart, he immediately changed into a businessman's face, and while apologizing, he hurriedly took out two ten taels of official ingots from the money box, held them in his palms, and presented them to the front of the worry-relieving army:

"Yes, yes, it's because the shop doesn't greet you well, but who knows that there are still thieves in this bright Gusu City? The villain has opened an inn for so many years, but he has never encountered such a thing...... Uncle, even if this ingot of silver is compensated by the shop, please bear with me......"

"Phew! You're thinking about it! Just take out such a little silver, and still want to plug the master's mouth? I lost money in your store today, or the people in your Zhujia store have unclean hands and feet, and "the family god has made a ghost"; Either your shopkeeper Zhu himself is not authentic, secretly fornicating with Jiangyang thieves, and opening a black shop! ”

"What do you mean by that? The guest officer lost his silver in the shop, can't we double the compensation? Besides, even if you go to sue the official tomorrow, you will be judged according to the laws of the imperial court, which is what it means. We save this trouble, and it is convenient for you and me......"

The reason why Shopkeeper Zhu chose to back down was not only because he didn't want to provoke the Worry Army, but also because he felt guilty. He knew that his son was unproductive, that he had recently become ill, that his hands and feet were a little unclean, and that he was likely to do such a foolish thing; In addition, he runs an inn, and once there is a rumor of a thief, it is easy to affect the business; Besides, he himself is not too clean, and he can deal less with the government than the government, so he tries not to provoke them.

Otherwise, how could this man be able to offer money immediately because of his one-sided words?
