Of course, Shopkeeper Xu is over forty years old, and as a businessman, he will not easily use a knife or a gun.

After all, the first principle of opening the door to do business is to make money in harmony.

So even if there is a sharp knife hidden in his sleeve, the face of the shopkeeper Xu still smiles like a flower.

"Duan Chu is here......" Shopkeeper Xu greeted loudly, then grabbed Duan Chu's forearm and whispered in his ear: "Brother, I really don't know about you and Jiang Xiaomei......"

With a flick of Duan Chu's wrist, he shook off the shopkeeper Xu's hand.

"What is Sister Li and Zhang Xiaomei, I don't know what you said, the master came to the pawnshop, of course, he came to redeem the pawn things, that knife, you have been here for more than four years, right?"

Shopkeeper Xu then remembered that Duan Chu was here four years ago and became a knife.

"Quick, check the booklet, and find out the knife that Duan Ye used to be."

After listening to the instructions of the shopkeeper Xu, Whitebeard Chaofeng hurriedly looked through the pawn book, and after finding it, he arranged for the man to go to the corresponding drawer in the treasury to get the pawn and handed it down from the high counter.

Duan Chu didn't reach out to take it, but took out the thirty taels of silver.

"There are rules for buying and selling, I was eight taels of silver back then, how much should I pay you back now?"

The courtiers on the counter pressed the abacus, and there was a crackling sound of counting beads.

"Four years and five months, with interest, a total of twenty-nine taels and two dollars." Chao Feng said loudly.

The monthly interest rate is five cents, and the interest rate is very high.

Duan Chu snorted coldly when he heard this, threw up thirty taels of silver, and retrieved eight hundred copper coins from Chaofeng.

Zhuzi stood at the door and didn't come in, and then saw that the silver was gone, and only a little copper coin was left, and suddenly his heart was dripping blood, and he stomped his feet outside in a hurry, saying that this Spring Festival could not be passed.

The money is settled, and the things are returned to their rightful owners.

Shopkeeper Xu stretched out his hand to catch the knife, but was pushed away by Duan Chuyi.

It was a seven-inch-long knife, with a single-sided blade shaped like an eyebrow, with a handle three inches long and a blade four inches long.

Duan Chu raised his hand and grabbed the knife with two fingers, and then turned it in the palm of his hand.

The eyebrow knife turned faster and faster, and suddenly disappeared without a trace under the nose of the shopkeeper Xu.

The technique was as fast as magic, and the courtiers and shopkeepers Xu were stunned.

Without waiting for everyone to react, Duan Chu used his right hand again, Ruo Ruo Li, to brush a candle next to him.

"The surname is Xu, you came out to see the master, and you even hid a knife in your sleeve, you really don't know how to write dead words, about playing with knives, even if you call the master an ancestor, the master may not agree!"

As soon as Duan Chu's words fell, applause rang out.

The applause was very lonely, obviously only one person took it, Duan Chu looked back and saw that it was Ma Qianli.

"Master Duan, the knife is good, the knife technique is better, admire! Admire! ”

Ma Qianli had seen Duan Chu before, his eyes were above the top, and now his tone has become very close.

Duan Chu bowed his hand to Ma Qianli and said, "I've seen the chief catcher, why do you call me Duan Class Master?" ”

"Lord Wen informed the Criminal Prison Department in the morning, saying that the third abductor, the head of the Hongyang class, since his legs and feet are not very convenient, then change to someone with convenient legs and feet, so I chose you, congratulations!"

Duan Chu then remembered what Mr. Wei said when he said goodbye to him last night.

Mr. Wei really never says big things!

Duan Chu thought about how to thank Mr. Wei, so he didn't delay any longer, said a polite word to Ma Qianli, went out and made a look, Zhu Zi saw it and hurriedly followed him, and the two left one after the other.

Duan Chu walked away, and the shopkeeper Xu sued Ma Qianli.

"Did you hear that this kid actually claimed to be my ancestor, you don't care if you're so arrogant?"

Ma Qianli is the shopkeeper of Xu, the big backer in the yamen.

"You kid should be careful when you speak, Master Duan, now you are a celebrity in front of Master Wen!"

After listening to Ma Qianli's answer, Shopkeeper Xu didn't believe it.

"You're always joking, aren't you? He is a poor bastard, how can he climb to the top of the world? Why! ”

Ma Qianli bent down and gently blew on the candle that Duan Chu had just brushed.

The candle breaks in the wind, and the section is smooth and straight.

"Why? Just rely on other people's knife skills, and the magic hands are empty! Ma Qianli said in a deep voice.

How Duan Chu put away the eyebrow knife just now, and how he used the eyebrow knife to cut off the candle, Shopkeeper Xu didn't see it clearly, he didn't even notice that the candle had already been broken into two.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Xu trembled with fright, and the boning knife in his sleeve fell to the ground.

Ma Qianli looked at the boning knife, sneered, and said, "The knife that the ginger butcher gave you, right?" People have a good marriage, you have to intervene, and now you are kicked on the iron plate! ”

Ma Qianli put down this sentence and turned his head to leave, but the shopkeeper Xu hurriedly stopped him.

"Chief catcher, I have formed such a big bond with the Duan class master, you can't see death and not save it, or I will give you the twenty-nine taels of silver to him, so as to ease the situation."

Ma Qianli sneered.

"If you send money over now, what if people think that you are slapping people in the face with money? Save it! Be a man with his tail between his legs, just don't mess with him in the future, he doesn't bother to bother with you. ”

Hearing Ma Qianli say this, the shopkeeper Xu can be considered at ease.

Ma Qianli walked out of the pawnshop and came to a secluded place in the corner, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

"Ma Qianli, Ma Qianli, you still think you are the number one master in Pengzhou, but you don't know that a civil official, an executioner, and that Xie Yuwen, any one of them is faster than your knife!"

"The master is waiting around and doesn't know it, you really have no eyes!"

……

At the beginning of this period, he was on his way to the coffin shop outside the city with beads.

In his opinion, if you want to wash off the coffin paint on the face of the beads, you must find someone who paints the coffin.

When passing through the city gate, Zhuzi suddenly screamed and lay on Duan Chu's back.

Duan Chu looked up and saw that on the long pole stretched out from the city gate, Xie Yuwen's hideous head was hanging.

There are also inscriptions on the city walls.

Duan Chu comforted Zhuzi not to be afraid, and asked her to read the list to herself.

If you don't look up, you won't be afraid, so you can get closer to the city wall and read the text in a low voice.

"The bandit Xie Yu should be executed publicly, but due to the heavy snowfall, it is inconvenient to carry out the execution publicly, and the sentence cannot be delayed, so Lord Wen has an order to behead Xie in prison yesterday.

Now hang your heads high to show the public, and hope that all the people will take this as a warning, keep their own peace, abide by the rules and obey the law......"

Duan Chu heard it, and he didn't care.

He beheaded Xie Yuwen, and Mr. Wei had already explained, so don't make a noise.

So he and the beads continued to walk out of the city.

He hadn't gone far when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and Duan Chu solemnly explained the beads:

"Zhuzi, I don't want to inquire about your true identity, but Pengzhou Mansion is very strict, if someone asks who you are, you will say that it is my aunt's cousin, and her home is in Yingtianfu."

The bead nodded.

Three fast horses approached quickly, and immediately the rider grabbed the reins, and the middle one was none other than Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei jumped off his horse and walked over.

Duan Chu saluted Mr. Wei first, and then asked what was the errand.

"Lord Huang, the prefect of Huai'an Prefecture, and Lord Wen are old friends, and now Zhongwu County, Huai'an Prefecture has encountered a strange thing, Lord Huang asked Lord Wen for help, and Lord Wen recommended you to help."

"Actually, it's for you to go to Zhongwu County and kill a death row prisoner."

Duan Chu patted his chest when he heard it.

"Mr. Wei, I don't know anything else, it's the best at cutting off heads!"

Mr. Wei smiled and shook his head.

"This death row prisoner is very tricky, from the beginning of winter to the present, there have been many executioners, every time he just cut off his head, who knows that immediately he will grow another head!"
