Volume 3: Tempered into Steel Chapter 5: Things Are Made by People

As soon as he heard this, not only Fan Zhong and Guo Mao were unhappy, but even Li Xian, who was known for his roundness, did not look good.

"Do you know how to do business here? What can you say? We live in your shop to give you face! Don't look at what you have, there is a clear text in the Ming Law, businessmen can't wear silk, keep their mouths clean, otherwise they will give you a few boards to eat. Guo Mao said.

Who knew that the shopkeeper was not panicked at all, he looked at a few people contemptuously, and sneered: "What? Want to bump into me in Luoyang City? A few outsiders still want to turn the sky upside down! Don't look at what kind of place this is, whose business is the business! Someone! ”

At the sound of an order, several big men rushed out from the back kitchen in an instant, surrounded Zhu Qizhen and several people, dressed in short training clothes, with cold eyes and mockery.

The little second lost the enthusiasm just now, and looked at a few people as if watching a play, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Qizhen frowned, as if he understood what the situation was, and then looked at the businessmen who were sitting at the dinner table and took a few people to drink, as if they had already known what had happened to them and others.

At this moment, the little eunuch Jin Qi stretched out his hands to stop between the two sides, and said softly: "Everyone, pay attention, don't hurt the harmony!" This shopkeeper, you can call the shots, we don't know the rules when we first came to Guibaodi, please raise your hand, I will compensate you for my master! ”

The shopkeeper seemed to be accustomed to the scene of confession, and he had already prepared, so he did not agree or give any orders.

"Oh? How do you pay no? When the brothers are satisfied, I am not unable to persuade them to go back. "I want money.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Jin Qi, who was like a fish in water in dealing with this kind of thing, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, secretly thinking that there would be more big fish eating small fish in the deep palace.

As for losing face and letting a eunuch come forward to negotiate with others, Zhu Qizhen has already adapted to the change of role after the previous civil escape. Since it is a micro-service trip, it will never reveal its identity if it can be resolved peacefully.

Fan Zhong and the others, seeing that Zhu Qizhen did not speak, had to hold back their strength to prevent the other party from making trouble. And Li Xian and others are all humble gentlemen who are familiar with the books of sages, and it is obviously more appropriate for them to talk loudly than to negotiate in the market.

Jin Qi got Zhu Qizhen's acquiescence, and at the same time he was happy and confident, he looked at the shopkeeper and said: "We have all these things in the room, plus two days of food, all according to the highest level."

Plus, it's a little tea money to quench the thirst of the brethren! As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot the size of five taels from his body.

The Orthodox period is the last afterglow of the banknote law, although the official has repeatedly supervised, but it cannot prevent the spontaneous use of silver by the people, but most of them are used for transaction settlement, and it is still rare to take it out to buy things.

The shopkeeper looked at the silver ingot, and there was a smile on his cold face just now, he reached out and took it with his teeth, and removed his fingers to see two clear teeth silver.

The purity is quite high! The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and then his expression changed slightly. This is such a good silver in his hand, and the tone is very big, it seems that it should be the son of a rich merchant, so it is better to ......

"Oh, why is this little brother so polite, you are a guest, the small shop naturally has to take care of it, this is to help you with your luggage! Quick, what are you doing! Hurry up and get something! "The shopkeeper's face is very diligent.

As the turmoil subsided, the spectators also withdrew their gazes, only occasionally glancing curiously.

"Distinguished guests, please be careful of the steps, if you have any needs, you can come to me, this inn will solve all your troubles all day long!" The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Seeing a few people go upstairs, they turned their heads and disappeared from the counter, and the shopkeeper also left.

"Something! Childe, speak! Now let Lao Guo convene Jinyiwei, if you don't play this bullshit inn today, I won't be surnamed Fan! ”

In the most luxurious room on the second floor, with paintings of celebrities hanging on the walls and a backyard with gurgling water outside the window, Fan Zhong's voice is particularly abrupt in this environment.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Fan Zhong with a cold face, and only when he saw that he didn't speak anymore did he speak: "If you are louder, people will hear everything!" ”

"Yes, Lao Fan, what are you anxious about, just now the prince has been making eye contact with you, you just don't understand, the emperor wants to put a long line to catch a big fish!" Guo Mao said.

Fan Zhong looked confused: "Fishing? What do you mean? ”

Zhu Qizhen couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and turned his head to look out the window: "You'll know when the time comes, go back and rest quietly now, don't shout anymore." ”

"Don't be tired! After a day of sleep in the car, it would be a time to be refreshed. Fan Zhong said with a big grin.

Zhu Qizhen could only say helplessly: "Then you just go out and go around, if you don't sleep, I will sleep." ”

"Childe, I think it's better to let Fan Guard protect you, that shopkeeper doesn't look like a good person, don't be a black shop." Li Xian persuaded.

"That's right, Childe, I'd better stay by my side and protect you!" Fan Zhong said with deep thought and gave Li Xian a big thumbs up.

Zhu Qizhen groaned and did not refuse, Jin Qi timidly raised his hand and asked, "Childe, shall I inquire about the situation?" ”

"Pay attention to your own safety, come back if you can't do anything, and remember to call for help in time if there is any accident!" Zhu Qizhen said.

After Jin Qi retreated, Zhu Qizhen asked Shang Chen: "What kind of expression do you have?" It's like eating a mouthful of flies! ”

"This, why is it so unreasonable! What a rebellion against the teachings of the saints! Shang said fiercely.

"Maybe people haven't read the books of the sages?" Xiong Zongli asked.

"This! Brother Daoxuan! Shang Zhen blushed.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, go back and rest, time is precious, and you will leave early the day after tomorrow."

"Yes!" Guo Mao didn't know where he went when he went out, only Fan Zhong was left in the house, he had to guard Zhu Qizhen, seeing that he couldn't leave, Zhu Qizhen could only lie on the bed and no longer care about him.

After a while, there was a soft snoring in the room.

Guizhou Pingyuewei

"Huang Ho! There is no food or grass in the city, where are the reinforcements you are talking about? If reinforcements don't come, I'm afraid that the people of our place will only become the enemy's spoils! A soldier with a vegetable face and a length of eight feet stood at the head of the city and asked.

The superintendent named Huang Ho moved his head slightly, and his thin figure looked like he was hungry.

He shook his arm vigorously, and pointed to the rebels holding scimitars outside the city with difficulty: "The matter has come to this point, the two sides are already at the point of non-death, and we have no other way but to wait for reinforcements."

As for when the reinforcements will come, I think Lord Zhang should know better than me, your urgent report, but much earlier than mine, and the imperial court has already replied. ”

Zhang Hongfei stood tense in place, then sighed unwillingly, turned around and walked down the city.

"I'm going to lead people to dig wild vegetables and grass roots, and grandpa is on a par with these traitors!"

Huang Hao bowed deeply to Zhang Hongfei and got up to look to the east, where the sun had already gone into the sky, exuding a higher and higher temperature.

Guizhou has many mountains and rivers, and in a lush forest, there is a large army stationed, and a burly veteran looks deeply into the distance.

"Report! Pingyue Wei ran out of food, and the defenders in the city had begun to gnaw on grass roots and bark! "A scout recital.

Wang Ji nodded, and asked the people to continue to find out the situation, and Hou Jin, the waiter next to him, hesitated and said: "Uncle, the capital has been decided, and now the emperor is still in control of the court, and it is time to send troops." ”

"As soon as the prince dies, there is no foundation in the court, if the Miao people are killed at this time, I am afraid that those people will not let us go, let's wait for the news of Cao Shoufu!" Wang Ji said.

"But Yu Qian is not ......" Hou Jin wanted to persuade again, but Wang Ji stopped listening and turned back to his military tent.

The birds and insects in the mountains and fields are very peaceful
