Red Dust Inn One Hundred and Eighth Tracking
In front of the courtyard gate of Fu'an Inn in Qibao County. Zhao Zheng stopped here and looked up.
The courtyard gate of this inn is high and wide, and the walls are more than two feet long, and the surface is extremely smooth, so as to prevent nocturnal travelers from sneaking through the walls. Above the wall, there are many sharp nails mixed with dirt, and if you step on them with your foot, the foot will be pierced by the nails!
Fu'an Inn is the largest inn in the local area, famous for its safety, although it can't prevent powerful martial arts here, but it is enough to prevent martial arts below triple death.
In addition to the high walls, the inn has many other security measures. The guards will patrol the yard day and night with dogs, the doors and windows of the houses are also made of iron, and there are several powerful Wu Jin in charge.
Zhao Zheng thought to himself, even with his current ability, he was not sure that he would sneak into this inn at night.
If Ma An stays here and doesn't come out, he is still very safe, and he won't invite trouble because of his guilt.
When Zhao Zheng doesn't want to continue this transaction, he will send Ma An away overnight and send him to another town, and then give Ma An some money, so that the family can live in peace and stability in the future. He felt that this idea was quite good, and he had always loved to help him get out of trouble.
He paused for a moment, then entered the courtyard and stepped into the pavilion. He said hello to the shopkeeper and said that he was going to the Xuanzi room.
"This guest officer, I'm sorry, the guest in the Xuanzi room is entertaining guests, and I can't see you yet. He only accepts one guest at a time, and you can't go to see him until that guest has left. It's better to wait here for a while, and then go to the Xuanzi room after the guest in front of you enters and leaves. I don't want to linger too long if I want to come in. The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face.
"Okay, then I'll just wait here for a while." Zhao Zheng found a table by the window and sat down, waiting slowly.
The shopkeeper hurriedly wiped the table, and brought a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds, and waited very thoughtfully, but he was much more attentive than when Zhao was the shopkeeper.
"Is the business of Brother Ma in the Xuanzi room good recently?" Zhao Zheng tasted the tea and asked casually.
The shopkeeper grabbed the broken silver, the smile on his face was even stronger, and he nodded: "That guest officer's voice has always been very good, and he has gone to buy medicine almost every time. I heard that the pill that the customer was selling was called Hu Li Zhuang * Yang Dan, which was subdivided into three, six, nine and so on, and the most expensive one could be sold for two hundred and twenty taels. This medicine is so expensive, he must have made a fortune a long time ago. ”
Originally, the price of the first-class Tiger * Power Aphrodisiac Pill was two hundred taels, but later because it was very popular, Zhao Zheng raised the price. Now the first-class pill has risen to 2221 pills, but it still has not affected the market.
"Color-eating also, you can't underestimate this aspect of the trade." Zhao Zheng took a sip of tea and was secretly delighted, the pill was selling well, which meant that the pockets of his behind-the-scenes boss were about to bulge again. Since he started this business, his wealth has been rolling in, and he no longer has to worry about the cost of buying medicinal herbs.
"Tut, if you give me a pill of that kind of pill, I am reluctant to eat it myself, I must sell it for money, and the money from the sale of this pill is enough for me to spend a few years." The shopkeeper daydreamed.
"Hehe, then you just hope that the pocket of that brother Ma will be missing, and then drop a pill on the ground for you to pick up." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
"That couldn't be better." The shop is small and two-way.
Zhao Zheng chatted with the shopkeeper for a few words, and then knocked up the melon seeds.
When the shopkeeper saw the guests at the other tables greeting him, he ran over to get busy.
It didn't take much time in the process of buying and selling medicine, and it didn't take long for the customer who bought medicine to leave, and Zhao Zheng then went to the Xuanzi room.
Ma An hadn't seen Zhao Zheng for more than a month, and he seemed very happy to reunite this time. He stayed in this inn for more than half a year, and every time he ate and drank well, he was fatter than before, his face was more ruddy, and he had a rich appearance.
Zhao Zheng greeted Ma An, chatted a few business matters, and then went to visit Ma An's mother in another room.
At this time, Ma An's daughter Ma Hong ran up, hugged Zhao Zheng's legs, opened her ruddy little mouth, and shouted in a milky voice: "Uncle Zhao, did you bring me anything fun this time?" ”
Zhao Zheng has been on the same level as Ma An since he met Ma An, so although he is not much older than Ma Hong, he has always been with Ma Hong as an uncle and niece. He stroked Ma Hong's head a few times, then took out the gift he had prepared early in the morning from his arms and gave it to Ma Hong. This gift is "Shake Hum", which is commonly known as empty bamboo, which consists of two small bamboo sticks tied to a wooden shaft, with a thread in the middle, and a whistling sound can be made when shaken by hand.
"Uncle Zhao, how do you play this?" Ma Hong fiddled with the empty bamboo a few times, but didn't understand.
"Come, I'll teach you." Zhao Zheng took the empty bamboo and played a few times in the same place, and the empty bamboo buzzed, bringing simple happiness to Jin.
Ma Hong clapped her little hands beside her, jumping and jumping around Zhao Zheng, looking very happy.
Zhao Zheng saw that Ma Hong had learned, so he handed over the empty bamboo to Ma Hong. Ma Hong ran to her grandmother's side to play and showed her her newly gotten toys.
"It's hard for this child for the past six months, I've been trapped in this inn, how can she be a child who can endure such loneliness, always complaining to me, pestering me to go out." Ma An smiled bitterly.
"For the sake of safety, your family should stay in the inn and don't go out, although it is a little stuffy here, but it is better to be safe. Don't worry, it won't be long before I leave here, and by then, you won't have to sell medicine for me, you can go wherever you want. Zhao Zheng reassured.
"You're leaving Qibao County?" Ma An was shocked when he heard this.
"With this plan, it is estimated that it will not take long, as long as half a year, as short as two or three months." Zhao Zhengdao.
"Where do you want to go when you're gone?"
"Go to a place that I am familiar with, but haven't been to for a long time, and be there...... I should be able to see a lot of old people. Zhao Zheng showed a look of fascination, in fact, he was not very familiar with Qibao County, he used to start in another realm in "Horse Riding Rivers and Lakes", where is his death, he almost knows everything about it, there are many things that can be done, and he can take the lead step by step and reap a lot of benefits.
"If the son doesn't dislike it, I am willing to serve the son in front of the horse and behind the horse, morning and evening, so that the son will not be waiting on the road." Ma An Zhengse.
"I have received your wishes, but there is no need for this, I don't need to wait for me. Before I leave, I'll settle your family. You can rest assured, I will not treat you badly, and I will definitely give you a full amount of settling-in money. Zhao Zheng patted Ma An on the shoulder.
"Childe, you helped our family get out of the predicament, so let me stay with you. Even if I let you go in, I'm willing. Ma An said.
Zhao Zheng's mind remained unchanged, and he refused Ma An's request, and then took out a porcelain pot and handed it to Ma An's hand, which contained the pills he had newly refined this time.
More than an hour later, Zhao Zheng said goodbye to Ma An's family, left the Xuanzi room, and walked out of the Fu'an Inn. It was already afternoon, and he didn't want to rush in the dark, so he planned to go back to the local courtyard for a night, and then set off back to the Hongchen Inn tomorrow.
He walked briskly down the street, farther and farther away, unaware of the presence of a ghost following him behind him.
…… Zhou Chen fiddled with the money in his hand, and walked to Zhang Yuanwai's house with a spring breeze on his face, intending to partner with the other two. He was in a good mood today, because his plan had made a breakthrough, and after many days of squatting and investigating, he had locked on a suspected behind-the-scenes boss, and this entry was likely to be the supplier of the elixir.
I don't know if there is any progress in the other two, if there is better.
Selling Tiger Power Strong* Yang Dan is a big deal, and if you can win this deal, you will definitely be able to make a fortune.
Zhou Chen is very concerned about this deal, because his money is always not enough to spend. If you can spend money like running water, you have to make money like running water.
He arrived at Zhang's house on time, sat down with the other two partners, and talked about the results of their respective investigations. He was more composed, and first let the two report on the progress before talking about his major discovery.
"My two cronies have been guarding the Fu'an Inn, and whenever they enter or leave the Xuanzi room, they will follow them and follow them. Just before that, they encountered a suspicious entry in and out of the Xuanzi. At this young age, the age is only about sixteen or seventeen years old, and there should be no need to take the pill of Tiger Power Strong* Yang Dan. In addition, he stayed in Ma'an's room for a long time, which was completely different from the other drug buyers. After the boy left, my cronies immediately followed him and figured out his identity. Zhou Chen said excitedly.
"Who is he?" Zhang Yuanwai's eyes lit up and asked.
"His name is Zhao Zheng, and he is the younger brother of the female shopkeeper of the Red Dust Inn. He has a bit of martial arts on him, and his sister Shen Luoxia has reached the realm of the quadruple death, which should not be underestimated. With their sister and brother's local roots and roots, they should have the strength to refine the tiger's strength and strength, so the suspicion is very big. I plan to investigate their siblings in depth to see if there is an alchemy furnace in the Red Dust Inn, or if there are any channels to buy pills. After Zhou Chen finished speaking, his eyes condensed slightly.
"I've heard of Shen Luoxia's entry, her martial arts are quite high, and she has made a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes, she knows both black and white, and even has a way in the yamen, which is really a difficult entry to mess with." Luo Yuanwai on the other side said with a calm face.
"Brother Luo is too worried, I don't plan to provoke this for the time being, I just want to investigate the matter first. If Hu Li Zhuang * Yang Dan is really from the Red Dust Inn, we will find another way. They are in the light, we are in the dark, those who are not in the literature are not martial, and those who are not martial, they will come to the yin, and there is always a way to deal with them. Zhou Chen said confidently.
"Since you say so, then it's up to you to investigate the Hongchen Inn, and I'll go with Brother Zhang to investigate the other suspicious entries." Luo Yuanwai lightly pushed the trouble to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen didn't care either, anyway, he got more when he paid dividends the most. He nodded and smiled, "Okay." I will set off for the Hongchen Inn tomorrow, find a reason to stay there, and explore this Longtan tiger's den! ”
