Chapter 203, Robbery

Luo Tian was wet when he went ashore, and the people around him who saw this scene still laughed non-stop, and after a while, the aura evaporated the water, and he felt more comfortable.

He felt a little strange just now, and he didn't know if Duanmu Zi drank too much, or if he was too depressed in his heart, so he deliberately came to fix himself.

After looking at the surrounding terrain, Luo Tian was ready to walk back to the inn where he was staying, the night market was indeed lively and there were many people from the rivers and lakes who came out to eat and drink.

Back at the inn, a few people still hadn't rested. The big worm shouted that he wanted to eat supper, and a few people went out to find a stall and sat down, and the business was quite good, and many people drank wine and ate some side dishes and chatted.

"I'm afraid this year's harvest is not good, big merchants are also here, how can we small merchants survive. The man at the next table was whispering.

"I heard that because the number of mussels in the river this year is insufficient, many female mussels have been caught and raised by rich and powerful merchants, so the natural mussels are much less than last year, the number of red pearls produced has decreased, and the price is naturally much higher. ”

"Hehe, this is not a cheap big business, people have strong financial resources, red pearls are out of stock every year, it can be said that the supply exceeds demand, people at a high price and then sell at a higher price, in the end or make money, small businesses like us are unlucky, the cost is too high to collect, and some money may not be received. After receiving the goods, we have to find a market, and the big merchants can sell to the big jewelers, but we can only sell to individual customers, and we don't necessarily have to let us set up a stall in Dashun Wangdu and sell it on the street. ”

"Okay, stop complaining. You won't starve to death, and if you get one or two blood-streaked ones, you won't get rich, and you will drink and drink. ”

Seeing that the small merchants were complaining, Luo Bi said: "I went out to inquire, there may not be large goods in this year's red pearl harvest season, and many merchants are worried that they will not receive red pearls, for fear of being seized by a big caravan like Chase Silver." ”

"They do their business, and we run away from us. The big worm munched on the beef, muttering incessantly.

"I told Duanmu Zi that I would borrow their caravan to leave, of course, we would wait for them to collect the red pearls before leaving, you see, if you think it's inappropriate, we'll leave tomorrow. Luo Tian asked.

"With the help of the large caravan is indeed a good cover, the state does not dare to stop the Chase Silver for too long. A simple check will be released, I think it doesn't hurt to wait a few more days, if the mountain dragon state always chases behind our ass, I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle when we enter the giant state, and with the help of the chase silver, the people of the mountain dragon state are afraid that they will not dare to mess around. "Luo Bi and the others are in favor of setting off with the caravan of the Chase Silver.

Moreover, there are so many merchants along the Gulang River, and in a few days, this place will become a state of rubbing shoulders, and it is still a question whether the people of Shanlongbang can find a few of them at that time.

Rushing to escape may not be able to successfully leave Dashun, and the plan must change with the reality.

There was a strange sound in front of the "bang", the crowd was in a commotion, and the big insect stood up and looked up, and saw an old man running around in a panic, and blood marks could be seen on his face.

"It looks familiar, isn't this the old man who showed us the red pearl during the day?" Luo Bi asked strangely.

The old man's eyes seemed to be injured and he couldn't see clearly, so he stumbled towards Luo Tian, and then fell to the ground.

Luo Tian stood up and helped the old man up, and at a glance he saw that there was a long bloody mouth on the old man's left eye, and the blood gushed out to cover his left eye.

"Go to the doctor's office, go. ”

There is no medical hall along the river, but the proprietress who stayed at the inn seems to have some medical skills, and simply treated the wound for the old man, who slept very deeply, and seemed to be tired enough.

"I don't know what's going on. Suddenly rushed out, I guess there was something wrong in his shop, let's go take a look. ”

When he arrived at the shop he had been to during the day, Luo Tian finally knew what had happened, the entire shop was smashed, and there was not a single red pearl, especially the most expensive red pearl, and even the pearl with glass box was gone.

"It looks like it was robbed. ”

The so-called wealth is not exposed, the old man's red pearl is worth more than 100,000 taels, and he doesn't make a move to put it in the store all day long.

Gulanghe is a neutral area, the security situation of the store has not been good, petty theft is a common thing, so the first thing to come here is to be optimistic about their money, of course, Gulanghe merchants once hoped to form a patrol, but the effect is not great, should steal or steal, should rob or rob, and finally the patrol team itself began to behave unruly, and then it was gone.

"I remember that this old man has a little grandson, where is he?" I didn't see the boy from last time.

Back at the inn, the old man had already woken up, and after seeing Luo Tian, he grabbed Luo Tian's hand and said, "Brother Tai help me and save my grandson." ”

Luo Tian was also surprised. Hurriedly said: "Don't worry, let's talk about what happened first." ”

"A few people came earlier today and said they wanted to see my red pearls, so I took their money and showed them, and then I closed my shop and went to bed in the evening. I heard a noise outside, just opened it and saw that one of them was a person who had come to see the red pearl in the morning, before I could ask, they pulled out a knife at me, I hid almost or it would not hurt my eyes, they rushed into the store and snatched the red pearl away, and my baby was also taken away by them, my grandson carried a chai knife to chase them and there is no news until now, can a few brothers help me, my grandson is my only relative, I can't live without him, a few help me. ”

It looks strange and pitiful, but in fact, if the old man could have sold the red pearl earlier, or hid it not so conspicuously, there would not be this one.

"A few people, I still have some old books, about a few hundred taels of silver, I can give them to you, so that you don't have to work in vain. The old man took out several silver tickets from his bosom, the bloody ones that he should have snatched with all his might, and one of them had a corner torn open.

"Old man, I don't want your money. You tell me where they are going, and I'll help you save your grandson. ”

The most enthusiastic and righteous person in Luo Tian's entire team was Yin Jiu, and it was the same in the past, and this genius blacksmith couldn't tolerate half a cent of sand in his eyes.

"Thank you, thank you, brother, the great kindness is unforgettable. Little old man knelt down for you......"

"No, you can tell me where they are and what their characteristics are, the more detailed the better, to help us search for them. ”

"When they came at night they were dressed in black, and after snatching something, they ran to the west, and I couldn't catch up with them because of my bad legs, but when they came during the day they wore white robes, and one of them had a sword on his back, and he looked like a monk of the rivers and lakes. ”

"Can you see the sect?" asked Luo Tian.

"I can't see it, I didn't see the token on them, oh yes, when I was collecting their money, I saw a pattern embroidered on one of their clothes, it was a strange one, it was a golden swallow, but the swallow's eyes were covered with black cloth, and I asked him what it meant, and he said it was embroidered for fun. ”

The old man's words made the well-informed Luo Bi have an idea, and said, "Uncle, you read it right, it's a swallow covered in a black cloth?"

"It should be, I read that right. ”

"I kind of know who it is. Luo Bi nodded and said, "The swallow covered with black cloth is the symbol of a sect along the Gulang River, this sect is called the Luoyan Gang, the history is not long, the strength is not long, it has been established for about thirty or forty years, and it has a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, and it specializes in doing some things like chickens and dogs, but because the sect is in the three regions, and it does not dare to provoke those big people with backgrounds, so it has not encountered any big trouble." A few years ago, when I was in business, I was stopped by them, and their symbol was a swallow covered in a black cloth, and they asked for too much toll, and then they got into a big fight, and neither side got a bargain. ”

"Oh. It seems that they should have done it, how can I find them?" Luo Tian asked.

"I remember that their headquarters is near the Gulang River, instead of chasing these guys, it is better to go straight to Huanglong and go to their sect. ”

"Directly send it to the door, are we strong enough?" asked the big worm worriedly.

"Hehe, don't worry, the boss's strength is absolutely enough, uncle, you come with us, and help you vent today." ”
