In the bluestone alley of the back street, Li Yu walked in front with a lantern, counting the number plates of the shops as he walked; Su Xiaozhou staggered and followed him, stepping on his shadow step by step according to his instructions, and barely walked a straight road.

On the horizon, the full moon is about to set. It's a Mid-Autumn Festival, and they are swaying in this cold alley.

Su Xiaozhou muttered as he walked - Li Yu, this guy, was also a little slippery. During the banquet, they found all the reasons to "kill each other" with Lu Ji, and they covered most of the two of them with a few jars of craft beer. If it weren't for his own tempering, he would definitely be like Lu Ji at this time, lying in the wine shop and letting Fusheng take care of him.

After walking for a long time, Li Yu finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous shop.

The door of the shop is closed, the attic is dimly lit, and the word "medicine" is embroidered on a banner hanging under the eaves.

This is a small shop that only sells medicinal herbs, and it usually does not see a doctor, so in order to make it easier for neighbors to grab medicine, you can knock on the door of the store at any time. Unexpectedly, this is a disguised "black gold shop", if it weren't for Jin Weiping's guidance, they wouldn't have been able to find here. Fortunately, Su Xiaozhou made it up well and bluffed him.

Despite this, this store has a lot to do with the Chang'an County Ya. Although Jin Weiping said this place, he only said that they could come and take a look, and did not send his bad people to follow, obviously not wanting to get involved. It seems that this is the secret property of a dignitary's family.

"Knock-knock-"

He knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of going downstairs.

The door creaked open, and an old man with gray hair poked his head out, holding an oil lamp in his hand.

"The guest officer grabbed the medicine? Take a look at the prescription. ”

There was not the slightest hint of sleepiness on his face, and it was clear that he was not alone in the business.

Li Yu's eyes rolled, "Don't catch the medicine, we're here to sell the medicine." ”

Holding the dim oil lamp, the old man looked him up and down carefully, glanced at Su Xiaozhou behind him, and lowered his voice and said, "Which boss introduced it?" If it's not the best herbs, we don't accept it. ”

It seems that they are quite cautious and only do business with acquaintances.

Li Yu thought for a moment and replied, "Nancheng-Ghost Sixth Master-"

As soon as he heard the name of "Ghost Six", the old man immediately changed his face, and said with respect and awe: "Ask the sixth master An——, two of you, please come in." ”

With that, he opened the door.

Li Yu pulled Su Xiaozhou behind him and followed him neatly.

In the store, the room is full of medicinal fragrances, and several medicinal material cabinets are densely packed with drawers, with the names of Yiwei medicinal materials written on them.

Standing behind the counter, the old man opened his posture, "What treasures do you two have?" Take it to the old decay and have long eyes. ”

Li Yu had nothing to look at, so he hurriedly pulled Su Xiaozhou over, "Hurry up and take out the good things." ”

"Huh? Okay—"

Half-ignorant and half-understood, Su Xiaozhou took out a warm object from his waist and handed it to him.

He took a closer look, and it was half a piece of red jade koi pendant.

Under the dim light, the jade pendant is as red as blood, and at first glance it is the best of the best.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the jade pendant, and the old man's eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly looked at it. After Li Yu put the jade pendant on the table, he cautiously reached out and took a look.

"It's-"

Looking at it, his face suddenly changed drastically.

In a panic, he put down the jade pendant and pushed it in front of Li Yu, "This thing...... I can't take it. ”

"Don't accept it?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows.

Could it be that this jade pendant is a fake?

The old man lowered his voice, "I don't know where the two of you are. This thing is an internal product, the small shop is a small profit, I know I can't eat it, please try it elsewhere. ”

It seems that he is not too bold to accept the things in the palace.

Li Yu nodded and put the jade pendant down, "Uncle, inquire about something, can someone come to sell a piece of white jade pendant tonight?" ”

Hearing him ask, the old man's face immediately changed greatly.

The rules in the industry, the "gentlemen on the beam" are all loners, and they must not inquire about each other. If this person doesn't understand the rules, he deliberately came to find fault.

"If you don't grab the medicine, you can leave quickly. It's not early, and the old decay is going to rest! He blackened his face and began to chase people.

"Huh-"

Su Xiaozhou suddenly stepped up and shouted, "My friend lost a piece of white jade." If you collect it, we are willing to buy it back at ten times the price. ”

After all, he lied in front of him, and the loss of the jade pendant should not be a big deal. It would be great if you could buy it back privately.

She had a good idea, but she didn't expect it to be wishful thinking.

The old man's face was darker than before. Even if the things collected by the black gold shop are sold cheaply, they must not be returned to the original owner. If you do this, you will betray the "seller", break the rules of the industry, and completely smash your own job.

"Let's go! Hurry up——, shop doesn't welcome you! He suddenly shouted at him.

At the same time, another footstep came from the attic.

The speed at which the person came downstairs was quite fast, and every step was very calm, and it seemed that he was a person who practiced martial arts with a solid foundation.

A moment later, a burly young man appeared in front of them.

"Who are you?"

He raised his fist and asked angrily.

Li Yu hurriedly stepped forward, "Uncle, brother, don't be angry. We're not here to ask for trouble, we're just here to ask you for help. ”

The old man was a little impatient, took a short knife from the counter, played with it in his hand, and said, "How can the sixth master introduce people like you who don't follow the rules?" You are from the government. My master dredged up those silver taels in a year, and you still came to trouble twice in three days?! Tell me, which yamen are you? What benefits do you want? ”

As soon as he saw him use the knife, Li Yu hurriedly turned his head to look at Su Xiaozhou.

When it was too late, she stiffened her carp and instantly flipped to the back of the counter. The old man saw an afterimage pass in front of him, and the short knife had reached her hand, and it was pressed against his neck.

I didn't expect her to move so fast, Li Yu had a headache. Anyway, the other party is also a related household of the Chang'an County Ya, and he really doesn't want to fight here.

Sometimes, he can't help but think about it.

The young man in front of him had already made a move, and his fist was like a blast of wind, hitting him straight in the face.

He dodged it instantly, grabbed the other party's fist, "There's something to say-"

The other party didn't listen to the explanation at all, and a sweeping leg almost kicked him hard.

One didn't want to fight, but the other went crazy trying to knock each other down.

One move in, one move out;

One move, one move.

A moment later, the two became entangled, twisted like a twisted flower.

"Stop—"

Su Xiaozhou's voice came from the side, "If you want the old man to live." Open the storeroom and let's check it out! ”

"Despicable!"

The young man glared at Li Yu fiercely, and finally let go of his hand.
