"Brother, you were so powerful just now, it's amazing!"

The little girl's voice was crisp and loud, and she looked up at Mu Yuan, her eyes full of admiration, a beautiful pink face as white as jade, about six or seven years old.

Her long black and shiny hair was woven with a long whip and raised her head, and there was a small gauze covering her forehead near the front, and she looked delicate and lovely with a smile and a very touching smile.

Then, the little girl's eyes flickered twice, as if she remembered something, "Oh, by the way, just now my mother asked my brother what his name was, but my brother hasn't answered yet." ”

Mu Yuan squatted down and gently scraped the little girl's delicate nose with his hand.

"My brother's name is Mu Yuan, but what about you?"

"My name is Ying Ying."

Before the little girl, she was still in her mother's arms like a little white rabbit frightened, hiding there crying and crying.

At this time, she seemed to be a different person, so lively and cute.

Mu Yuan stood up and asked if the mother and daughter could go to Bai'an City? After getting the exact answer, he moved on to ask about something else.

After Mu Yuan had dealt with everything here, he sent the mother and daughter back to Bai'an City together, and then he took advantage of important matters to leave first.

……

At this time, it was past three o'clock in the afternoon.

After a meal of wine and meat, Mu Yuan walked out from the gate of Fulai Restaurant.

He stroked his slightly propped belly, looked up at the sky, and thought to himself that it was time to buy a ticket for tomorrow morning.

Walking on a prosperous street with busy traffic and people, Mu Yuan asked several passers-by, and only then did he find the water and land passenger boat ticket store under the Bai's Commercial Bank in the center of the street.

Mu Yuan walked into the ticket store, and initially visually inspected the size of the store, about 130 square meters, there were three ticket counters, but two of them hung wooden tags that suspended service.

In front of the only remaining counter where you can buy passenger ferry tickets, there is a long queue of figures.

Mu Yuan roughly counted the number of people, including himself, there were forty-nine people.

How long will it take for people to wait......

Before I knew it, the sky outside the store had become gray, and an hour and a half had passed.

Finally, he finally got in line, but Mu Yuan heard the salty voice of the conductor at the counter, "Today's ticket sales have reached the closing time, please leave the store within half an hour." ”

"Can this brother be accommodating, I just buy a ticket to Changle City tomorrow morning, after all, it's not easy for me to queue for so long."

Mu Yuan couldn't bear to be so angry because he was dissatisfied with the service attitude of this conductor, what kind of management system is this!

"If everyone behind you had the same idea as you, then wouldn't I be busy until midnight, and I might not be busy!"

The conductor turned his back to Mu Yuan and didn't look at Mu Yuan's side, he responded to Mu Yuan's words impatiently while sorting out the things in the counter.

Mu Yuan had just extinguished the anger in his heart and ignited again, damn it, the reason why Lao Tzu spoke to you so softly was because Lao Tzu had always treated those gods, demons, monsters, and all the things that human beings were dealing with first.

You don't have to be embarrassed, once Lao Tzu gets angry, even Lao Tzu himself is afraid!

However, this world is a world where the strong are the strong.

Mu Yuan has always been well aware of this, and the Bai Merchant Bank is not something he can offend now.

In the end, he had no choice but to swallow back the words he wanted to say.

After he calmed down the deep fluctuations in his heart, he thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I add a little more money to buy the last ticket of the day?" ”

"Oh? So how much do you want to add? Hearing Mu Yuan say that he wanted to buy more money, the conductor suddenly became interested.

But just when he turned back and looked up at Mu Yuan, he found that this person was not the one who wanted to eat the overlord meal at the Fulai Restaurant yesterday?

"How could it be you?" Mu Yuan and the conductor glanced at each other, and the same voice sounded in unison at that moment.

"How could it not be me?" Another word of doubt came out of both of their mouths at the same time.

Mu Yuan also recognized this conductor, who was the domineering and arrogant shopkeeper in the Fulai Restaurant yesterday.

Although Mu Yuan didn't know why this shopkeeper appeared here and became the conductor here, he didn't want to dwell on this issue.

Now, he cares more about whether he can buy a ticket for tomorrow morning.

"Well, it's just thirty gold, and even the original ticket price of fifty gold, you need to pay a total of eighty gold."

The shopkeeper said leisurely, glancing at Mu Yuan with disdain, I don't believe that you can get so much gold at once.

"What!"

Mu Yuan exclaimed, the original price of this ticket is fifty gold, and it is even more expensive, and he wants to increase the price of this ticket by thirty gold.

Then he didn't have to pay eighty pieces of gold to buy a ticket!

You must know that a piece of gold is just like what Gu Jinxin, the shopkeeper of Fulai Restaurant, said yesterday, if it is exchanged for food, it is enough for some ordinary people to eat for several months.

At this moment, eighty pieces of gold is equivalent to the food expenditure of a common people's family of three for three or four years.

No wonder Yan Xiaotian was going to the Gu family's mansion to loot the vault, he was planning for a rainy day before.

But at that time, Mu Yuan didn't take much, just more than a hundred gold.

But at this time, the shopkeeper asked him for eighty gold at once, how could he not feel distressed?

However, Mu Yuan finally reluctantly took off the small burden he was carrying, took out a bag of gold in it, and began to count eighty gold at the counter.

Seeing Mu Yuan holding the glittering bag of gold in his hand, the shopkeeper's originally disdainful gaze suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by disbelief and incredibleness.

In his personal opinion, how could a man who couldn't even afford a meal of wine and meat suddenly have so many big bags of gold in one day?

The shopkeeper thought about it for a while, and finally connected Mu Yuan with the theft of the vault of the Gu family's mansion yesterday.

Subsequently, when Mu Yuan counted the gold, he said that he was so stuffy in the store that he wanted to go to the door to breathe in the air, but in fact, he asked people to go to the Gu family's mansion with the news he gave.

Mu Yuan, who was being targeted and completely unaware, was still carefully counting his bag of gold at the counter.

In fact, many merchants count similar gold, silver, copper and other currencies, and usually have some equipment similar to counting money.

And the number of customers who come to this ticket store every day to buy tickets is not 800, but there are also 4 or 500 people, and it is impossible for such a large customer flow to be without some tools for quick counting of money, especially for the stores under the Pak Firm, it is even more impossible.

It's just that Mu Yuan didn't ask, and the shopkeeper didn't want to tell him.

Of course, this can't be all blamed on Mu Yuan, after all, there have been a few times before when he traveled with Chang An, and the rest of the time he has been in the mountains of Wanli.

There are many things he doesn't know about when he is a fledgling, and it is inevitable.

"Oh, I finally ordered enough eighty gold, shopkeeper, you can give me a ticket to Changle City tomorrow morning."

Mu Yuan shook his somewhat sour hand before he cleaned up the remaining twenty or so gold, and carried the small burden on his back.

Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't respond to him, he couldn't help but look at the door of the store, and saw that the shopkeeper looked a little anxious, as if he was waiting for someone.

Mu Yuan approached the shopkeeper and patted him lightly on the shoulder with his hand, but the shopkeeper jumped suddenly, and hurriedly pressed his chest lightly with his hand, and began to crackle a series of complaints, blaming Mu Yuan for walking without a sound, and scaring him for not waiting lightly.

"I said you're not finished, I don't have much time to spend with you, so you better hurry up and get me a ticket!"

Just when Mu Yuan was urging the shopkeeper to get the ferry ticket, a thick and angry man's voice sounded outside the store,

"Where do you want a ticket to go here?"

After hearing the voice, Mu Yuan turned his head to look, the person who spoke was an old man but he didn't know it, and then his eyes fell on the middle-aged man next to the old man, that person was Gu Jinxin, the shopkeeper of Gu.

"Oh, it turned out to be the shopkeeper Gu, it's a coincidence, it's such a coincidence. I just want to buy a ferry ticket in your store, and I also ask the shopkeeper to help persuade the shopkeeper to persuade the second shopkeeper, so that I can go back to Fulai Restaurant to rest early. ”

Mu Yuan stood at the door of the store with a warm face and respectfully greeted Gu Jinxin and the others into the store, but he had a very bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't know what was wrong.

Gu Jinxin always bowed slightly to the side of the old man, and then the old man gave him a suggestive look.

So, Gu Jinxin opened his mouth to speak to Mu Yuan's side, and said, "Then where are you going?" Are you thinking about taking that amount of money and preparing to abscond away from the country? ”

"Shopkeeper Gu, you ...... What are you talking about? What's that money? ”

Mu Yuan was terrified in his heart, and instantly linked the scene of the shopkeeper standing anxiously at the door of the store with the appearance of Gu Jinxin and his party, and finally knew where Fang Cai's bad feeling came from.

Gu Jinxin raised his hand and pointed to the neatly stacked gold on the counter, and said, "Then where did all this gold come from?" ”

"Well, I'll be honest and make it clear, this gold is indeed not mine, and I don't have the ability to get a hundred or dozens of gold in a day, but this gold is indeed mine."

Mu Yuan's face was sincere, and he did not reveal his inner fluctuations.

He had already noticed that the old man beside Gu Jinxin was extraordinary, he was a monk with a relatively high cultivation, although he was not as powerful as his master Chang An, but he also felt that he was as small as an ant in the eyes of the old man.

In such a situation of disparity in strength, even if he has a magic weapon in his body, it is difficult to get out of the whole body, and now he can only mix the truth and the false, and do things one by one.

"What do you mean by that?"
