Chapter 032: The mall is like a battlefield
There will always be pursuits in life, some people like fame and fortune, some people like beauty, but I am different, I just want to drink, but wine needs money to buy, so I also like money.
The drunkard poured a full glass, drank it all, and he was not enough, so he lifted the lid of the pot and drank it in a big gulp.
He came quietly, and the shopkeeper here looked for him many times, but this time he really couldn't get through. "Shopkeeper Li, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
The shopkeeper Li in the mouth of the drunkard, surnamed Li Mingwang, is in his thirties, with a pair of fleshy arms supporting his chin, and his round belly swelling up and down. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed into a thin line, and his face was full of horizontal meat.
"Rotten drunkard, I heard that you are capable of doing things in Zhao Changxun's workshop."
"So what? That's the shopkeeper Zhao who can afford me! The drunkard said that, and drank another glass of wine, with an expression of enjoyment.
Li Wang laughed and thought: This Zhao Changxun doesn't know which master to guide him, and he is in the limelight for a while, and there are no customers in my shop. But he is also stupid, he dares to believe that this drunkard who is addicted to alcohol is really God help me!
"Mingren doesn't say secret words, you help me do one thing, I promise that you will never worry about wine again in the future."
The drunkard was obviously moved, and although Childe reused him, he made him drink less or even quit drinking, which undoubtedly killed him. He is not stupid, Li Wang's so-called help must be to swallow the fat of the Sword Dance Workshop.
"I can promise you, but I have one request." Zhang Jing is kind to him, he will not harm her no matter what, he knows that he is not a gentleman, but he will not do anything to be ungrateful and take revenge.
Li Wangxi said: "Okay, good, good, I will follow you whatever you want, and after five days, we will ......."
……………………
Ying Xuan spent several days thinking about what Li Xinfang had reminded him of that day, and she revealed to Ying Xuan that there were some more suspicious people near the Sword Dance Workshop.
"Business has been good recently, and it's normal for new customers to come to visit, so you're careful." Ying Xuan replied.
"I wouldn't say that if they were guests, most of them are idle people, and even beggars."
"Beggars?" Ying Xuan began to wonder.
The next day, Zhao Changxun excitedly told him a good news. As the fame of the Sword Dance Workshop became more and more popular, it attracted more and more customers, which led to the dismal business of the other two Sword Workshops, and even worse, the business of several Song and Dance Workshops near the Sword Dance Workshop was also affected.
Zhao Changxun couldn't close his mouth happily, he was not keen on making money at the beginning, mainly because he didn't like the languishing atmosphere of singing and dancing, but he didn't have too much money. Moreover, he didn't expect that the young master would still know how to operate, which also made him feel a lot more gratified.
Ying Xuan was not happy at all after hearing this, he felt that he had found the problem. The principle of shooting the first bird with a gun remains unchanged for eternity. The sharper you are, the more likely you are to be hated.
In modern terms, the Sword Dance Workshop is really hot these days.
He couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he gathered several reliable people to discuss the matter together, including Li Xinfang, Zhao Changxun, Zhang Jing, Li Xinyi, the drunkard, and Xiao Shi.
"In recent days, some suspicious characters have appeared near the Sword Dance Workshop, everyone should be vigilant when entering and leaving in the future."
"What do you mean, is someone eyeing us?" Zhao Changxun asked.
Ying Xuan shook his head: "I'm not sure, but the business of the Sword Dance Workshop is so good, it is inevitable that no one will be blushing." ”
The drunkard chuckled in his heart, quickly returned to his composure, and said: "This is Chang'an, forgive them and don't dare to act recklessly!" ”
"I hope it doesn't hurt to be careful." Ying Xuan sighed, saying that there was still no way to discuss it, so he could only take one step at a time.
He glanced around, and no one planned to speak, so he had to get up helplessly: "In that case, that's all for today, you all go your own way." ”
After dismissing everyone, Ying Xuan leaned on the coffee table and squinted for a while, and when he woke up, he found Xiao Shi standing in front of him, which really startled him.
"When were you there?" At this moment, he still has palpitations, and if someone really wants to harm him at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"For a while, I saw that my son was sleeping soundly, so I didn't dare to disturb." Xiao Shi bent down and said.
Ying Xuan rubbed his head: "Is there something wrong?" ”
Xiao Shi looked around vigilantly, and whispered in his ear: "Childe, I found a strange thing, I don't know if to say it?" ”
Ying Xuan saw Xiao Shi's nervous expression, and speculated that the matter was very important, so he hurriedly said, "But it's okay to say?" ”
"Childe, a few days ago, I found out that the drunkard walked into another sword shop." Xiao Shi said very carefully, and the sound almost came out of his throat.
Ying Xuan's expression suddenly tightened: "There is such a thing?" Can you be sure of being an alcoholic? ”
"It's true!"
Ying Xuan pulled Xiao Shi in front of him and asked, "Have you ever mentioned this matter to others?" ”
Xiao Shi hurriedly shook his head: "No, the little one knows that this matter is not trivial, how dare he tell others at will." ”
Ying Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, patted Xiao Shi's shoulder, and said with appreciation: "You have made a great contribution this time, and when the matter is clear, you will definitely be rewarded, but you must not mention it to others after you go out." ”
Xiao Shi nodded firmly.
Outsiders are still unreliable after all, Ying Xuan sighed with emotion, and at the same time, he had a little more affection for the small stone in front of him, so he pulled up the family routine: "I heard that you are from Chang'an?" ”
"Yes!"
"How are your parents doing lately?"
Xiao Shi's face quickly darkened, pursed his lips, and stood in place without saying a word.
Ying Xuan was startled and secretly scolded himself for being confused. Zhao Changxun once mentioned to him that Xiaoshi's parents died when he was a child. mentioned other people's sadness, the conversation would definitely not continue, but he didn't know how to comfort others, so he had to find an excuse.
"In the future, as long as you work hard, I promise that I will not treat you badly, and I will treat you as a brother. Now I'm a little tired, you can get busy first! ”
Xiao Shi raised his head suddenly, his eyes were a little dull, his mouth moved slightly, and finally he saluted respectfully and slowly withdrew.
Ying Xuan immediately got up, called Zhang Jing in front of her, and instructed her to secretly monitor the drunkard's every move. The reason why he didn't arrest the drunkard immediately was his own consideration.
The drunkard's martial arts are not weak, although the strength of Li Xinfang and Zhang Jing can subdue him, it will inevitably cause panic in the Sword Dance Workshop.
Moreover, since there is a mastermind behind the scenes, even if you catch the little minions, it will not help, it is better to put a long line to catch a big fish, and once and for all.
The shopping mall is really like a battlefield, if his guess is correct, it must be the business of the shopkeeper who wants to take the sword dance workshop for himself.
"What a big appetite, I don't look at who Lao Tzu is!" Ying Xuan sneered, and immediately went to find Zhao Changxun, he planned to talk to him in advance first, and then act together in a wonderful show.
