The burly man looked at the cabin in front of him, his brow furrowed, but he still strode in.

"Squeak."

There was a soft thud.

The wooden door was opened.

A ray of light shone through the wooden door, illuminating the inside.

It was a very simple room, empty, and at first glance, there was nothing but a few wooden beds and a few miscellaneous items.

"This is the grocery store you call it." The burly man asked, his voice full of disdain.

"That's right." Li Fu nodded in response.

The burly man walked to the bed and sat down, stilted Erlang's legs, and spoke.

"I've seen all the things here, and they're not worth anything at all, and no matter how much money I have, I can't exchange anything for anything."

Hearing this, Li Fu's heart sank.

These days, he didn't know how many times he had hit the wall, but this time he was already on guard, and he didn't panic, and spoke.

"Guest, this boy is from outside, he must have a lot of treasures on him, you can see if he can sell them to you."

"Oh." Hearing this, the burly man immediately turned his gaze to Qin Fan and asked.

"What treasure do you have, young man? Take it out and show me."

When Qin Fan heard this, he was disdainful in his heart, and secretly scolded, "A bun of dirt buns."

However, he didn't show any expression, took out a palm-sized jade plaque from his bosom, and handed it to the burly man.

"Looks like it's worth a lot."

After the burly man took the jade plaque, he took a closer look and found that the jade plaque was carved with patterns, which was obviously very valuable.

"Huh?"

When he saw the shape of the pattern clearly, his eyes suddenly widened, and there was a look of shock in his eyes: "You... You have such a high-level thing in you."

"Something so advanced." Qin Fan asked intentionally.

"This is a dragon pattern, and it is a very rare gemstone that has been successfully carved."

"As far as I know, there is only one dragon pattern gem in the entire Tang Kingdom, and it is only owned by the royal family."

The burly man hurriedly explained, and at the same time handed the jade plate back.

"How dare I ask for such a treasure? Lad, I'll give it back to you."

Immediately, the burly man's face was full of horror, and there were all kinds of speculations about Qin Fan's identity.

After all, a person who can wear a dragon pattern must not have a low status, otherwise he does not deserve to have that kind of treasure at all.

"This thing is indeed very precious, and if you don't take it, it will be a waste." Qin Fan shook his head.

"Why don't we make a deal?"

"What are you going to trade?" The burly man asked.

"Tell me about the bandits outside the city, I'm going to clean them up."

"That's what happened."

After listening to Qin Fan's words, the burly man breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke.

"Outside Youzhou City, there is a gang of bandits called Tianlong Village, this gang specializes in robbing caravans, killing people and setting fires, and doing all kinds of evil."

"But because of their secret whereabouts and strong strength, not many people have been willing to provoke them in the past few years."

"Over the years, many caravans have suffered heavy casualties at the hands of this group of bandits."

"This place is not too close to Youzhou City, and the security of Youzhou City has always been chaotic, if you want to buy something, it's best not to go there, so as not to get into trouble."

"You're right, I think so." Qin Fan nodded.

"But I have other things I want them to help with, and I don't know if they'd like to take this job."

"Help? What are you looking for them?" The burly man asked, somewhat confused.

"I want to hire them to exterminate bandits, and they'll pay them very well." Qin Fan opened his mouth and said.

"Hire

us." The burly man was a little surprised, "You really want to hire us to suppress the bandits."

Hearing this, Li Fu hurriedly spoke, "That's right, this little brother is from out of town, and he has a lot of treasures on him."

"As long as you help him wipe out that bandit gang, he will naturally give us a lot of benefits."

After hearing this, the burly man's eyes rolled and a greedy look appeared on his face.

"It's not impossible, but we only charge a commission, as long as 5,000 taels of silver."

Qin Fan opened his mouth and said, "Five thousand taels of silver is too little, I'll give you ten thousand taels of gold, how about it."

"Ten thousand taels." A look of surprise appeared on the burly man's face, and he said, "Deal."

"Okay." Qin Fan smiled and said, "But you tell me first, where is the bandit gang? I'm going to get ready."

"There is a river three hundred miles east of Qingshan Town, and their nest is there."

"Well, I'll add another five thousand taels of gold to you, call your brothers, and you can help me get rid of the bandit gang, how about it."

"Okay, this can be there." The burly man nodded.

Qin Fan smiled slightly, turned around and left, and as he left, he quietly gave Li Fu a gold ingot.

Seeing the gold, the corners of Li Fu's mouth twitched, and he was grateful in his heart.

"Little brother, you're such a good person." Li Fu said.

Qin Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "No thanks, I just hope that this group of bandits can be eradicated as soon as possible, but you have to remember one sentence: it is better to offend a gentleman than to be in the company of villains."

When Li Fu heard this, his face changed, but he didn't speak.

"Little brother, are you really going to Youzhou City? That's the Longtan Tiger's Den." The burly man couldn't help but persuade.

"That's right, it's because of the Longtan Tiger's Den that I want to break through even more." Qin Fan nodded and said.

"You..."

The burly man shook his head helplessly, and then said, "Okay, you can rest for the night first, and tomorrow morning, I will send someone to pick you up."

With that, the burly man left the room.

Li Fu looked at the burly man's departing figure and said, "Little brother, do you want to stay here for a while?"

"I can let you arrive in Youzhou City safely, and not only will you be able to earn a huge amount of money, but you will also be able to find the den of the bandit gang, killing two birds with one stone."

"I don't have to do it for the time being, I'm going to leave for Youzhou City now." Qin Fan shook his head and rejected Li Fu's proposal.

"But..."

"No, I have other things to do." Qin Fan interrupted Li Fu's words: "Steward Li, you stay here tonight and wait for me to come back."

Hearing this, Li Fu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "But the place you are going to is Youzhou City, little brother, in case of danger..."

"Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself." Qin Fan shook his head and said lightly.

"In that case, then I might as well obey my orders and wait here for your return." Li Fu nodded and agreed.

"Hmm."
