Chapter 54: The Poor Dagger
Yicui Lou is worthy of being one of the best gold caves in Black Dragon City, in the era of lack of entertainment, the children of rich families who are unable to practice or are not obsessed with cultivation are lingering here. The existence of these people has made Yicuilou make money every day, and the wealth is rolling.
Mo Qing sat in the room, sipping tea and waiting quietly, as if he didn't notice that someone was snooping in the dark.
"Hahaha, what kind of wind blew Xiao Mo Ye to the door, it really made me lean on the cuilou and hit the wall!"
The shopkeeper Xing heard his voice before he saw him, and he walked in with two maids with wine and food on his face, and bowed to Mo Qing who was sitting upright, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've neglected your guests." The old man was rude. It's really that there are too many guests today, and the greeting is not good, and the greeting is not good. ”
Mo Qing looked at the maid who served the food, and then looked at the shopkeeper Xing who was doing a good posture, and secretly scolded "old thing".
But with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to the other party to make a gesture of please sit.
Looking at the shopkeeper Xing sitting opposite him, Mo Qing said modestly: "I'm a distinguished guest, but I'm just a person." Shopkeeper Xing doesn't have to be like this. ”
"Hey, Xiao Mo Ye is wrong. is the so-called: the prime minister's door in front of the seven officials. Mu Fu is the richest man in Black Dragon City, and Xiao Mo Ye, as Young Master Mu's companion reading boy, grew up with Young Master Mu since he was a child. In the future, if Young Master Mu takes charge of the Mu family, aren't you just a figure like the Mu family's great housekeeper? It's just one person below and above a thousand people. Who would dare to underestimate you. ”
Facing Shopkeeper Xing's compliment, Mo Qing didn't take it seriously, glanced at the maids standing on both sides, and said half-jokingly: "Shopkeeper Xing, I won't beat around the bush anymore." Today I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I want to come to Xicheng this morning, and Shopkeeper Xing has heard about it. ”
Shopkeeper Xing's smiling face skipped a hint of unnaturalness, but it quickly recovered.
"That's natural, the West Side thing, it's appalling. You said that the sky is blue and the sky is white, how can this bandit be so rampant that he dares to commit murder in the street. If it weren't for your Mu family's action, I'm afraid that Xicheng would have been bleeding a river by now. I see that these guys in the city guard camp are all corpse vegetarians, and they are not as good as the Mu family's hard work, so what's the use of them?"
Listening to the other party's seemingly unintentional voice of anger, if he didn't know that the commanders of the city guard camp who were punished were upstairs, Mo Qing would have thought that he was talking casually.
But now, the other party has other plans!
"Shopkeeper Xing don't want to say such a ridiculous thing. If there were no soldiers of the city guard battalion to defend my Black Dragon City day and night, how could I have the peace of my Black Dragon City for many years. Today, the commander of Xicheng, Commander Zhou, is in a different place because he went out of the city to suppress bandits, so how can it be said that they have no merit! Their responsibility for defending the city does not lie in arresting the thieves. Otherwise, what's the use of the government to catch the head?"
Lightly resolved the trap of the other party's words, and Mo Qing directly explained his intentions.
"Since Shopkeeper Xing already knows about Xicheng, he must have known that [Huiwei Building] Li Yuanhong and Miss Li were murdered by thieves and committed suicide. The young master of my family studied in the teacher-student game, and decided to take care of the other party's aftermath. After all, the other party doesn't even have a distant relative. Later, my young master remembered that Miss Li was born in Yicuilou, and Yicuilou can be regarded as her maiden family. So my young master instructed me to come and talk to Shopkeeper Xing about business. No matter what the price, I have to buy Yicui Lou with people, and my young master wants to build a red-sleeved pavilion to commemorate a teacher-student friendship between him and Miss Li. Please ask Shopkeeper Xing to make a price! My young master said, money, not a problem!"
Mo Qing finally stretched out his fangs at Shopkeeper Xing, and with an aggressive gaze in his eyes, he stared at the other party to see how he reacted.
To be honest, Shopkeeper Xing had thought about a lot of Mo Qing's purpose for this trip, but he never imagined that the other party would actually take advantage of the topic to play and do this trick of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle.
Even he had thought about it, he was prepared for the fate of Han Shan's failure and capture, and secretly arranged manpower and countermeasures a long time ago. If Han Shan betrays and surrenders to the enemy, he also has a perfect plan to deal with the Mu family. But he never expected that people would not come hard, but make a fuss from the dead Fourteen.
How did the 14th die, others don't know, I don't know yet? What did you say to kill yourself for chastity, bah! Lao Xing said that he didn't believe in a single punctuation mark. As for the guy on the fourteenth, if he could loosen his clothes and save his life, he would have taken the initiative a long time ago, and he committed suicide, deceiving the ghost!
But in the face of Mo Qing's excuse, Shopkeeper Xing couldn't push it. After all, what people say is reasonable, and the Mu family is big and small, rich and capricious. This is famous.
"Little Mo Ye, this Yicui Building is a little old man's livelihood to support his family, a lifetime of hard work, how can he bear to sell it. Although I feel sorry for the Red Sleeves, I really can't help it. ”
"What did Shopkeeper Xing say, my Mu family didn't want your Yicui Building for nothing. Give you double the price, enough for you to retire. If you are really reluctant, I can call the shots and let the young master leave you to continue to be the shopkeeper. After all, you are good at opening a green building, and our Mu family does not have a talent like you. You're just going from boss to part-time worker. So why not have a lifetime of wealth without having to leave here?"
Mo Qing was too lazy to grind with him. The young master went to the City Lord's Mansion, who knows how long it can be delayed. You must take this place before the City Lord's Mansion reacts, otherwise it will be in vain to prepare for many days with your own life?
Facing Mo Qing, who was a little aggressive, Shopkeeper Xing's face was uncertain.
Needless to say, he also understands that the other party is prepared, this is forcing himself to have a showdown!
[Damn the tenth and fourteenth, there is not enough success, and there are more failures!]
After cursing the two pig teammates in his heart, Shopkeeper Xing looked at Mo Qing who was holding Zhizhu in front of him. I sighed in my heart and accepted my fate.
It's not that he Lao Xing doesn't want to resist, but if Mo Qing dares to come, he must have been prepared. As a last resort, he still didn't want to tear his face.
"Since Xiao Mo Ye really wants to do this business with Xing, why don't you go upstairs and talk in detail. After all, it's too noisy to talk about things. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Mo Qing to agree, he got up and walked out by himself.
He wasn't afraid that Mo Qing wouldn't follow, after all, he had a secret conversation with himself, wasn't this exactly what the other party wanted?
The two of them climbed to the attic on the third floor one after the other, and along the way, Shopkeeper Xing deliberately greeted the people around him, so that others noticed Mo Qing who was following behind.
It's wrong for a teenage child to visit the Qinglou, after all, the hair hasn't grown. And Mo Qing's visit to the Qinglou by a subordinate child made them even more curious, and the people who recognized him were even more discussed, speculating whether the Mu family had made any big moves.
Mo Qing saw all this in his eyes, but didn't say anything.
It wasn't until he entered the dark hut in the attic that Mo Qing sneered and said, "Shopkeeper Xing is really a good means, or do I want to call you No. 3?"
