Chapter 40 The road is narrow
After turning a few streets and entering a hidden alley, Yang Tian saw a shop with a big dang character hanging on it, and below the word dang was a signboard with the word "kindness" written on it.
The green monkey pointed and said, "Two sons, this is it." ”
Yang Tian glanced around, this alley is a dead end, it seems that the business is good, from time to time one or two people hurriedly walked into the alley, walked directly to the pawnshop, went in for a while, and hurried out, when out of the alley, he looked left and right, and only went out when he saw that there were no acquaintances. Like Yang Tian and his entourage swaggering in, it is rare.
It is not a good thing to enter the pawnshop as a thing, or the family road is ruined, or it is the ill-gotten wealth obtained like a gangster like the green monkey, and he is most afraid of being seen by acquaintances, so the pawnshop has no reason to open in the downtown area, and it is a rare thing for Yang Tian and his party to walk in, and the people around them are staring at them in amazement.
When Yang Tian and his entourage walked into this kind pawnshop, the pawnshop was suddenly empty, and some people who wanted to be things also hesitated to glance outside a few times without entering, although Yang Tian and others were strangers, but people who wanted to be things always subconsciously didn't want people to see them.
There was not a single guy in the pawnshop, only a small window on the high counter, and a shopkeeper-like person was sitting in front of the window crackling and making calculations, with the height of Yang Tian and Yang Ying, even if he couldn't reach the counter with his feet, Yang Tian had to signal the green monkey to come forward and talk.
For so many people suddenly walking into the pawnshop, the shopkeeper didn't even raise his head, and continued to play his abacus, the green monkey stiffened his head and said inside: "The shopkeeper is good." ”
The shopkeeper still didn't look up, but said, "Bring the things." ”
The green monkey hurriedly said: "It's not a thing, it's a redemption." ”
The shopkeeper raised his head at this time, and saw the green monkey and Yang Tian's guards, and even followed by a few officials, vaguely feeling unusual, the green monkey is a frequent visitor here, and the shopkeeper of course knows: "It's you, take the ticket." ”
The green monkey was suddenly suffocated, he couldn't take out the ticket, so he had to laugh and say: "The shopkeeper, that's the case, a few days ago, the little one was here as a jade pendant, this jade pendant is a little bit wrong, and now the owner is coming to the door, and I hope that the shopkeeper can be accommodating and return the jade pendant to me." ”
The shopkeeper swept the guards and officials, unmoved, and still said, "Pawn ticket." ”
To be able to do the pawnshop business, of course, you need some background, they often receive some things picked up by thugs on the street, often the owner comes to the door, and still can only return with a feather, although the green monkey is a gangster leader, but he does not dare to offend the pawnshop shopkeeper, he can only look at Yang Tian and Yang Ying helplessly.
Yang Ying was covered by the counter, and she had already held back the fire in her belly, and when she saw the performance of the green monkey, she scolded: "Useless things." He hooked his finger at the official who was following him, "Come here." ”
The leader hurriedly walked to Yang Ying's side: "Son, what are your orders?" ”
"What's your name?"
"Hui Gongzi, villain Li Tianzheng." (Thanks to book friend Li Tianzheng for providing it)
"You go, tell the shopkeeper that the jade pendant they received last time was a thief, if they hand it over, we can not pursue it, otherwise we will seal this pawnshop."
"Yes, yes."
Li Tianzheng came to the counter, knocked on the counter properly, and said, "The official of Chang'an Mansion is on an errand, hand over the jade pendant you received a few days ago, otherwise I will seal your shop." ”
The shopkeeper looked at Li Tianzheng, and his contemptuous eyes swept over: "Pawnshops have pawnshop rules, and the goods are received without pawn tickets, and they will not be returned." ”
The shopkeeper couldn't see Yang Tian, Yang Ying and the two, at first thought that it was just a few small officials and some men who thought of the pawnshop to make trouble, and when they heard Yang Ying's voice, they knew that there was another person in charge, the jade pendant received a few days ago, of course, the shopkeeper still remembered that this jade pendant was the best mutton fat jade, and it was sold dozens of times the profit, he knew that the green monkey was not coming from the right way, but relying on the hard backstage, he didn't know how many bad goods he had received before, and how could he let go of the jade pendant. The shopkeeper knew that the jade pendant was dead, even if the other party really took out the pawn ticket, he was not afraid, and he was proud to come back.
"This pawnshop is a thief, and I smashed him."
"Yes, Childe." Li Tianzheng is overjoyed, this pawnshop business is prosperous, and the day is making money, but there is quite a background, usually there are not a few dignitaries and nobles suing this pawnshop for collecting and selling stolen goods, all of which are leveled by the backstage of the pawnshop, although the pawnshop is within the jurisdiction of these tolerances, they can not get a little oil and water, and they have long had a grudge against this pawnshop, and now there is the support of the son of the Suiguo Mansion, so what are you afraid of.
Li Tianzheng beckoned: "Brothers, go on, smash this pawnshop." ”
The officials behind him suddenly looked like wolves, grabbed the iron shackles in their hands and smashed them towards the door of the pawnshop, shouting while smashing: "Open the door, open the door." ”
Seeing the official slamming the door, the shopkeeper did not panic, but looked at the officials like an idiot, if a few small officials could bully the pawnshop, the pawnshop would have closed early.
"Zheng, Zheng, Zheng." The iron shackles smashed against the black door, making a sound of metal striking, and a spark flew up from the place where the iron shackles hit, and everyone was surprised that this inconspicuous door was actually made of iron.
The shopkeeper sneered: "Smash it, smash it, wait for you to cry." ”
Li Tianzheng lost face in front of the prince of the Guogong Mansion, and was furious in his heart, so he raised an iron shackle and smashed it at the shopkeeper on the counter: "What are you laughing at, go to death." ”
"Bang dang." With a sound, the iron shackles hit the iron pillar above the counter, but it still stretched in for a while, and wiped the tip of the shopkeeper's nose, and the shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly retreated to the back.
This pawnshop is more tightly protected than the bank in later generations, not only the iron door, but also the counter has only a small window of less than one square meter, which is also equipped with iron bars, and when the shopkeeper retreats, the people outside can't even see where the shopkeeper is.
Everyone immediately looked at each other, the pawnshop was like a turtle with a shell, and everyone did not have a sharp weapon to pry open the shell of the turtle, although there were many people, it was useless.
"Brother, what should I do?" Yang Ying subconsciously thought that Yang Tian would have a way.
Yang Tian didn't want to come hard, if it was a lawsuit, although the pawnshop took in the stolen goods, but he had no evidence, relying on the testimony of the green monkey alone may not be enough to be accepted, the lawsuit must be lost, but seeing Yang Ying's performance, Yang Tiancai suddenly realized, now is the era when the official is reasonable, as long as the Guogong Mansion thinks that you have received the stolen goods, what if there is no evidence.
Since it is a big trouble, it can't be anticlimactic, otherwise it can only be laughed at by people. Yang Tian said in a deep voice: "Pry the wall." ”
