Chapter 219: The Greedy Shopkeeper
"No, lest it attract suspicion." After finishing speaking, Gu Feiyan said that there were several more conspicuous places in this teahouse where he could escape, and then he only took Li Jinan in, and the others went in separately.
After Gu Feiyan and Li Jinan entered, Xiao Er immediately came over to greet him, "Two guest officers, what to eat, the most popular thing in our teahouse is ......" Xiao Er began to pour tea while gushing about the food in the store.
After Xiao Er finished speaking, Gu Feiyan picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying slowly, "It is said that you have an antidote to Gu worms here?" ”
After Xiao Er heard the intention of the person in front of him, he found that the two of them were dressed extraordinarily, and the person who could find them here should not be ordinary people, so he said very respectfully, "Wait a minute, you two, I'll ask our shopkeeper to come and talk to you in detail." ”
"I'm in trouble." Gu Feiyan nodded and said politely.
Then, the shopkeeper walked to the shopkeeper's room as fast as he could.
And Li Jinan whispered to Gu Feiyan, "It seems that he is not looking for the wrong place." ”
Gu Feiyan nodded and then said to Li Jinan, "This tea is good." After saying that, he took another sip of tea.
Li Jinan also picked up the teacup and tasted it after Gu Feiyan finished speaking.
"Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper's! The shopkeeper shouted a little excitedly.
"Why? Yell, I'm not dead yet! "The shopkeeper was originally admiring the treasure jade he had just started, but when he was shouted by the shopkeeper, he had no interest. I could only put down the treasure jade in my hand and walked out slowly.
At the moment when he opened the door of the room, the shopkeeper bumped into him. Hit the shopkeeper directly.
"What are you doing?" The shopkeeper impatiently pushed the shop open, and Xiao Er said.
"Shopkeeper, down, down, below, someone is looking for you." The shopkeeper said breathlessly.
"What are you excited about looking for me?" The shopkeeper didn't quite understand the mood of the shopkeeper. After saying that, he walked down the hallway and glanced at the guests downstairs.
"No, it's that man and woman who came to find the antidote to Gu worms." The shopkeeper whispered. For fear of being heard by Gu Feiyan downstairs.
The shopkeeper saw Gu Feiyan and Li Jinan at a glance, and then confirmed again, "Looking for an antidote?" ”
"Yes." The shopkeeper replied.
When the shopkeeper saw what Gu Feiyan and Li Jinan were wearing, he knew that it must be a big family, and the little abacus in his heart began to fight. After a while, I went downstairs. The shopkeeper walked in front and came to Gu Feiyan and Li Jinan, and then introduced to them, "Two guest officers, this is our shopkeeper." ”
Gu Feiyan followed the eyes of the shopkeeper and saw a man with a fat head and big ears appear in front of him, and he really looked like a boss. After meeting the shopkeeper's eyes, Gu Feiyan stood up and saluted the shopkeeper to say hello. And it was also at this time that Gu Feiyan saw the calculation in the eyes of the shopkeeper, and it seemed that this time, he had to calculate it carefully.
"I heard that you're here to find out about Gu worms?" After the shopkeeper returned the salute, he came to Gu Feiyan and said highly.
"Yes, I don't know the shopkeeper, is there any news?" Gu Feiyan said very politely.
"Well, there is news about it, but well, this Gu worm, although it is not a big secret in the Western Regions, it is not easy to ask, especially outsiders like you. This is forbidden to you, but if it is known, you will be killed. The shopkeeper said in a still condescending manner, and his tone was full of only one layer of meaning.
Li Jinan didn't understand this meaning, and showed a puzzled expression, thinking that the shopkeeper was unwilling to tell outsiders the news about Gu worms.
But Gu Feiyan understood the meaning of the shopkeeper's words, so he immediately turned around and whispered to Li Jinan, "Take care of it." ”
Li Jinan immediately understood what Gu Feiyan meant, and at the same time understood what the shopkeeper said just now, so he immediately took out the bag containing silver taels from his body and gave it to Gu Feiyan.
After Gu Feiyan picked up the money bag, he took out the broken silver inside, and stuffed the rest into the hands of the shopkeeper, and then said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, I know that this matter is not easy, and I hope you can do me a favor." ”
The shopkeeper took Gu Feiyan's silver, weighed it and knew that it was not a small amount of money, so he immediately received the silver into his pocket, and then the shopkeeper's expression immediately changed to a flattering face, and said very respectfully, "It's not that you can't help, it's just that you may have to wait for a while, and I'll ask our master to come over." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
When Gu Feiyan heard the shopkeeper say this, he confirmed his conjecture, this is also a simple teahouse, and if it can publicly sell the news of Gu worms, there must be other people behind it, and sure enough, there is really a behind-the-scenes owner.
"Then, the shopkeeper will help me introduce me." Gu Feiyan said politely with a smile after the shopkeeper finished speaking.
"Of course, but there are a lot of people here, so the two of you will go to the guest room on the third floor to rest for a while, and my master will arrive later." The shopkeeper still said with that flattering face.
Gu Feiyan also knew that this kind of thing could not be discussed openly and loudly, so he stood up and said, "It's troublesome." ”
Subsequently, the shopkeeper personally took Gu Feiyan and Li Jinan to a small private room on the third floor, all the way was very quiet, as if this place was a secret place for them to trade things, Gu Feiyan was secretly looking at the road of this teahouse all the way, and Li Jinan did not dare to slack off, and followed closely behind Gu Feiyan, so that he could protect Gu Feiyan as soon as possible when he was in danger, and after opening the door, he said very respectfully, "The two of you, please." ”
"Okay, thanks." After Gu Feiyan finished speaking, he walked in, not worried about the shopkeeper's fraud at all, after all, just now, the shopkeeper's reaction just now, he accepted his own money, and he would definitely do things for himself, but he didn't know what kind of person this master behind the scenes was, Gu Feiyan's heart was inexplicably worried.
It wasn't until they all walked into the room that the shopkeeper said, "Wait a minute, you two, my master will be here soon." With that, he closed the door and hurried downstairs. After the shopkeeper's footsteps disappeared, Li Jinan, who was leaning against the door, walked to the chair and sat down.
