Chapter 12: Traveling Companions (4)
"It's too much!"
She said to the student's brother: "Brother, there is indeed an agreement between our Fulai Inn and Da Nan Inn, and we have indeed taken their Da Nan's salary. ”
She counted the forty-eight copper plates one by one to the student's brother.
"But...... The price negotiated between our Fulai Inn and his Danan Inn is clearly the same as the price on our Fulai Notice, I took his three cents and everyone's salary, a total of these forty-eight copper plates, one is not more, no one is less, if I Liu Xing'er tells half a lie, I will not die well! ”
Liu Xing'er was delicate, and hysterically explained the reason for this matter to that brother, although that brother was angry, but he didn't want to let go of Liu Xing'er and Su Zhengdi.
"No matter what you say, today's incident is still because of your Fulai Inn, and our people are still in custody at the Da Nan Inn, you have to give us an explanation!"
Liu Xing'er clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
"The black-hearted shopkeeper of the Great Southern Inn actually dared to bet on the person I brought over, and sat on the ground to raise the price, even if you don't say it, I don't plan to let go of this bold man!"
Saying that, she straightened up her small body, ran back to the Fulai Inn angrily, took the big knife left by Li Biao on the wall, and went to the Danan Inn in a hurry, Old Man Su grabbed Brother Su Zhengdi, and asked anxiously: "This is another accident!" ”
Brother Su Zhengdi was afraid that Old Man Su would be worried, so he said a few perfunctory words: "It's nothing, don't worry about your old man." ”
Then I went to chase Liu Xing'er and the student's brother, and the student's brother was afraid that Liu Xing'er would be too impulsive, so he followed her all the way to persuade her.
"We can report it! This can't solve the problem! ”
Liu Xing'er used all her strength to pull out the big knife, and the knife flashed across her face.
"To deal with this kind of person, you can only use violence to counter violence, and you can't reason with him!"
She took Brother Su Zhengdi and the student brother and kicked open the door of the Danan Inn with one kick, and the black-faced shopkeeper of Danan looked at the three of them, stunned for a while, and quickly greeted the second child in the store.
"Quickly take these three shop-smashing maniacs down and take them to the official!"
The scene became restless, the people in Da Nan wanted to take them down with a fierce look, and the group of students scolded and scolded and wanted to ask them for an explanation, Su Zhengdi saw that the situation was not right, and tightly pulled Liu Xing'er to hide behind him.
Liu Xing'er's chest was surging, her heart was ruthless, and she raised the big knife in her hand high.
"This is the big knife left by the imperial guards in my Fulai Inn, we have people who are sheltered in the Fulai Inn, you don't want to die, just come here!"
The lobby suddenly quieted down, the group of students entered Beijing just to gain fame, and they were still a little afraid of the people in front of the emperor, and the common people were even more frightened, no one dared to act rashly, and the black-faced shopkeeper sneered at this situation.
"Who doesn't know what kind of background you Fulai Inn can have, and you dare to play with a big knife in front of Guan Gong even if you pick up a broken knife!"
Su Zhengdi didn't expect Liu Xing'er to move out of the imperial guards, and the guards themselves also lived in his store with hidden identities, although there was some movement, the people in the town just said that the Fulai Inn had caught a trafficker and sent it to the government, no one knew their identity, and now as soon as Liu Xing'er's words came out, everyone knew that the emperor's people had come to the Fulai Inn, and this Fulai Inn would inevitably be concerned by the government in the future, Su Zhengdi's heart was tight, and he was a little worried.
Liu Xing'er didn't notice that Su Zhengdi had a dark face, but just laughed with the black-faced shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, a few days ago, a group of people took away a trafficker from the Fulai Inn, you won't have heard about it! You said that if you let that group of people know that you have detained students who have entered Beijing to take the exam, and you have done this kind of thing of forced buying and selling, and then nagging a few words in front of the Son of Heaven, what do you think will happen? ”
Su Zhengdi's brows furrowed tightly, and he grabbed Liu Xing'er and whispered in her ear: "Don't continue to talk!" ”
Liu Xing'er bit her lip: "I'm not stupid, I know the cause and effect, but we have to control the situation, and we can't care so much!" ”
Over there, Danan's black-faced shopkeeper has sunk his face, he has heard about the incident at the Fulai Inn, and it has made a lot of noise in Stone Town, and it has also led away some of the guests in his shop, if the little lady is talking falsely, it is not completely visible, and then glanced at the big knife in Liu Xing'er's hand, it is indeed an unusual weapon, and ordinary people must not get it easily.
Thinking like this, the shopkeeper of Danan was a little panicked, and he opened his mouth to speak less decisively: "This ...... This...... This ......"
Liu Xing'er saw that he was a little weak, and she didn't want to make a big deal about it, so she took the opportunity to give him an audience.
"We have no other meaning at the Fulai Inn, I will return the forty-eight yuan you gave me to you now, you let this group of students go, we will be cleared of this matter, and in the future, our well water will not interfere with the river water, and it will have nothing to do with it!"
Su Zhengdi threw the sparse copper plate towards the black-faced shopkeeper, which just hit him in the head, and he also held the money and nodded again and again.
"Good, good ......"
The students sighed and were about to walk out the door when two people suddenly rushed out of the stairs.
"Little lady, and the two of us, they looted our money and asked us to live upstairs, we didn't live here!"
Liu Xing'er pulled out the big knife, and the shopkeeper of Danan was so frightened that he wiped his sweat again and again: "Retreat, retreat, retreat......"
At dusk and sunset, this large group of people finally walked out of the door of the Danan Inn steadily, they no longer took care of Liu Xing'er and Su Zhengdi, and gathered together anxiously to discuss where to go tonight.
Liu Xing'er felt guilty in her heart, raised her head to look at Brother Su Zhengdi, and said in a deep voice: "Today's things are all because of me, and I have to give them an explanation." ”
Su Zhengdi grabbed her: "You are just a weak woman, don't worry about these things anymore, go back and rest, this is always a dozen or so big men, since they are no longer pursuing us, we should not be too involved." ”
Liu Xing'er shook her head: "I'm unwilling." ”
She handed the big knife in her hand to Brother Su Zhengdi and walked slowly towards the group of students.
Su Zhengdi and Liu Xing'er got along this day, knowing that they couldn't stop her anymore, so they just silently followed her behind her and protected her thoughtfully.
When the group of students saw Liu Xing'er, they were a little disappointed in her, and said to the student brother who had been her all the way: "Little lady, you are also tired for a day, we also know that it is not easy for you to do business when we go out, our fate with you is over here, little lady, please go back!" ”
Liu Xing'er felt very uncomfortable, looking at this group of students and couldn't say a word, she bowed to them apologetically, turned her head in frustration and was about to leave, and after walking two or three steps, she still turned around.
"It's not dark yet, if you are willing to believe me again, I am willing to try again for you, and find an inn with the right price for everyone, and I can also talk about our apologies for the Fulai Inn, and give you an explanation!"
The students all said, "Go back!" Let's go back! We don't need it anymore! ”
Brother Su Zheng also sweated for her, so many things have happened today, why is this woman not giving up?
Liu Xing'er was rejected, and she also felt that she had no face to face them, and buried her head lower, since she became a senior hotel marketing manager in France, she had not felt this frustration for a long time.
She took a few steps forward, raised her head, and saw Su Zhengdi stretching out his arms with a smile on his face, waiting for Liu Xing'er to pass.
Perhaps, it's time for her to go back and reflect on it.
After a few more steps, the person behind her suddenly shouted at her.
"Little lady, if you really have the heart, we are willing to accompany you to try again, and we are here waiting for your good news."
Liu Xing'er's eyes flickered, her heart blossomed, and she turned around and waved at the group of students.
"Good! Even if I do my best, I will bring you good news! ”
She jumped up to Brother Su and grabbed Brother Su Zheng.
"Isn't there another Jinfeng Inn! Let's go! ”
Brother Su Zhengdi liked her lively appearance, but still poured a basin of cold water on her.
"Have you ever wondered how you will explain to them if you don't succeed this time?"
Liu Xing'er pulled him and said as she walked: "Since I dare to promise, I just have to do it, I won't think about the consequences at all, I only know the things in this world, you go to fight hard and there is a glimmer of hope, if you don't fight or grab, there is no glimmer of hope, only a dead result is waiting." ”
The two of them quickly walked to the Jinfeng Inn, this was the last chance, Liu Xing'er's mind was extremely heavy, and she let go of Su Zhengdi's hand.
"This time, you'll let me in alone."
Su Zhengdi was worried: "Can you do it?"
Liu Xing'er nodded vigorously and went in without looking back.
Jinfeng Inn is the most elegant of these inns, not very dilapidated but not too much decoration, there is only a gray-haired old man reading a book in the store, Liu Xinger looked at the store.
"Excuse me, shopkeeper, are you there?"
The old man said.
"I'm the shopkeeper."
Liu Xing'er was a little surprised, and asked cautiously: "You are alone in this store?" ”
The old man nodded, and then got up and poured a pot of tea for Liu Xing'er: "May I ask the little lady what you are doing!" ”
Liu Xing'er ran for a day, her tongue was indeed very dry, she took a sip of tea with her mouth, felt very sweet, and drank it all with her head raised.
The old man laughed at her.
"This tea is not drunk like this, you will miss all the flavors of it!"
Liu Xing'er wiped her mouth and smiled.
"My time today is very tight, in the future, I am very willing to come to the old shopkeeper here to taste tea again, I wonder if the old shopkeeper will be willing to treat me, a person from the Fulai Inn, in the future?"
