Chapter 39: Shine

This guy.

That's too much.

Could it be that he and the Wang sisters and brothers have any interests in private?

Or is it the kind of relationship that can't be explained?

Otherwise, why are there-for-tat everywhere,

Endless rambling?

It's so annoying......

I want to stand up and punch him to death.

Just punch him to death!

Facing a series of questions from Zheng Shi, Wei Tao simply closed his eyes, his hands under the table overlapped and rubbed, his qi and blood began to speed up, his fingertips were slightly red, faintly itchy, and some inexplicably swollen.

"Okay, don't talk about it, when is it now, you guys are still arguing there, what kind of system!"

After a while, Tan Pan finally interrupted Zheng Zhi's aggressive questioning, and said in an accentuated tone, "Third junior brother, fourth junior brother, you'd better be cautious these days.

Although I'm not completely sure now, whether Senior Sister Yingxue was killed by the Red Line Fist or not,

Whether the teacher defected back then is also debatable.

But in the face of the murderer's emergence, there is nothing wrong with being cautious. ”

Suo Yunhai raised his head and said, "Senior brother, I think that the murder of Senior Sister Yingxue probably has nothing to do with the teacher's great enemy back then. ”

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "Senior brother thought about it carefully just now, if it is really that person, and he has also cultivated this fist method to an extremely advanced realm,

So if he wants to retaliate, I'm afraid that there won't be much cover at all, and it is the most convenient and fast choice to directly kill the martial arts hall and catch them all. ”

"Of course, Senior Brother wants everyone to be cautious, I absolutely agree with this, it's better to avoid the limelight in the near future, and don't easily put yourself in danger."

Tan Pan nodded thoughtfully, "What the fourth junior brother said is very reasonable, we can also secretly check whether the Silver Wolf Gang has a feud with someone, so it caused such a catastrophe." ”

"Also, recently there was an organization called the Red Lantern Society in the outer city, and their water is very deep.

If you encounter it, it's best to stay away, don't provoke it easily, and don't even talk nonsense outside, you heard it. ”

The room soon fell silent, and several people thought about it and stopped talking.

Tan Pan took a sip of tea, "Okay, that's all I have to say, let's all disperse." ”

Everyone got up and walked outside.

Zheng Zhi and Suo Yunhai walked together, exchanging something in a low voice, and soon left the inner courtyard.

Qi Wuya was slightly behind and jumped out of the gate.

"Senior Brother Wei, you can stay for a while."

Wei Tao was just about to go out when Tan Pan's voice came from behind him.

He stopped and looked back, "What else does Senior Brother command?" ”

"The morning after tomorrow, if Senior Brother Wei doesn't have anything particularly important, accompany me to the inner city."

Tan Pan leaned back and sat on the back of the chair, slowly kneading his eyebrows, "The Huang family organized a garden and plum appreciation party, and there was a banquet during the period, I am going to take you over to see the world, which is a good opportunity to expand your network."

If you are lucky enough to meet a few nobles in the inner city at the reception, it will be of great benefit to you in the future. ”

"I understand, thank you for your support." Wei Tao clenched his fists and saluted.

"You and I are from the same family, and we are both from civilian backgrounds, so we should take care of each other."

Tan Pan waved his hand, and when he spoke again, his tone calmed down again, "Zheng Zhi's temper and tone are not very good today, don't take it too seriously, he has always had a good relationship with Senior Sister Yingxue, and it is normal for emotions to fluctuate and change when something like this happens." ”

Wei Tao smiled and said softly, "Senior brother, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what is important. ”

"That's fine, don't easily hurt the harmony between the same door."

Tan Pan sighed, "The world has become more and more chaotic recently, and the teacher also mentioned before he left that he could prepare some weapons and food in advance according to the changes in the situation, and if necessary, he could even arm those named disciples in case of emergency." ”

"The grain is planned to be purchased by the seventh junior brother, you have been in charge for a period of time, it shouldn't be difficult to raise it well, how much money you need to come to me directly."

"I'll go down and get ready." Wei Tao nodded, "What about the weapons, what do we all need to build?" ”

"You don't have to worry about all kinds of long and short weapons."

Tan Pan pointed to the door, "Could it be that the seventh junior brother has forgotten, the ninth junior sister newly included in this sect?" ”

Wei Tao suddenly smiled to himself, "That's right, there is Miss Qi from Iron Lane, and there is really no need to worry too much about this." ”

Coming out of the living room, Wei Tao came directly to the martial arts arena.

Stimulate and condense qi and blood, and become familiar with the moves.

He was the only one left in the entire inner courtyard, which was very suitable for calming down and practicing.

After some penance, he wiped his sweat and sat down in the chair where the teacher used to sit.

The bright sunlight shines down and shines warmly on people, and sleepiness also comes.

Wei Tao closed his eyes and enjoyed a rare moment of peace.

It was a little hasty to kill the headquarters of the Silver Wolf Gang directly that night.

Without a more complete plan in advance, the Youth Alliance hastily organized a shortage of manpower, which eventually led to a chaotic battle, and failed to eat all the core backbone of the Silver Wolf Gang in one go at the beginning.

There is also Wang Yingxue's corpse, and now it seems that destroying the corpse is not enough.

It's like a better choice to deal with the deputy leader of the Blackstone Gang after being fully prepared, so that she will not see anyone alive or dead, and the body will disappear.

Summarize the lessons and lessons, and if you take action later, you should try to avoid such problems.

……………………

At noon, it is the busiest time in the city.

Especially today, when the big gathering in the middle of the month came, people from nearby Zhuangzhen Mountain Village entered the city to sell goods and buy daily necessities, and several main streets were suddenly crowded out.

Wei Tao followed the flow of people through the long street, and soon came to the door of a grain store.

A white and chubby middle-aged man was leaning against the counter to eat.

The bowl is filled with white rice topped with bright lard and a plate of browned lamb shank, and you can smell the rich aroma from the outside.

"Money shopkeeper, I'll buy some food." Wei Tao lifted the curtain and entered the store.

"Rice or noodles, refined grain or coarse grain, how much do you want, I'll let the guy weigh you ......"

The middle-aged man said casually, but after a moment, he paused suddenly, and a flower bloomed on his oily face.

"Hey, it's such a cold day, why did the health manager come here in person, have you had lunch, I'll let the kitchen fry two dishes, and the two of us brothers have a drink."

"I won't eat the food, I bought more this time, so I can rest assured that I will go in person." Wei Tao casually found a stool to sit down and took the tea handed by the guy next to him.

"If you buy more, what kind of way is it?" The money shopkeeper smiled and pulled the remaining mutton from the plate, and used chopsticks to pile them into a small mountain.

Wei Tao took a sip of hot tea, and the tip of his tongue felt a touch of fragrance mixed with the piping hot.

He slowly raised three fingers, "According to the daily consumption of the martial arts hall, this time it will take at least three or four months' supply." ”

"Shhh

The money shopkeeper's hand was unstable, and the small hill of mutton on the plate collapsed.

He simply poured all the mutton into the bowl, took a big bite and chewed it, and said vaguely, "I said Brother Wei, you used to buy grain according to the amount of ten days and a half a month, why do you suddenly have to buy so much now?" ”

Wei Tao yawned and said casually, "Oh, I have processed a batch of stale grain in the back kitchen in the past few days, and I have bought a new batch of large vats cheaply, and I was seen by Master Zhou when I turned around, so what's the matter with leaving those urns empty?" ”

The money shopkeeper casually found a small wooden thorn and scratched his teeth, his face was full of embarrassment.

"Poof!"

After a dozen breaths, he spit out a small piece of brittle bone, and then sighed for a long time, "If you want other people to come over, my old money really won't take this order,

That is, for the sake of our long-term and happy cooperation, no matter how difficult this matter is, I will do it for Brother Wei. ”

"But my brother settles the account, we have to give the price to Brother Wei in advance to figure it out."

"Well, it's nature." Wei Tao bowed slightly, sat there with his eyes closed, and the sound of an abacus crackling sounded in his ears from time to time.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, the crackling sound of the abacus finally stopped.

The money shopkeeper put down the brush in his hand and spread out a piece of straw paper full of small characters on the table.

"So much money?"

Wei Tao took the paper from the counter, only glanced at it, and his brows couldn't help frowning tightly, "Money shopkeeper, you can't be miscalculated, right?" ”

"That's right, that's the price."

The money shopkeeper wiped his greasy lips and said categorically, "This is still for the sake of the old customer's face, and he erased some of the odds for Brother Wei." ”

Wei Tao bent his fingers and tapped on the table top of the counter, making a crisp tuk tuk sound, "I have the account of the previous grain purchase in my hand, it has only been a few days, how can the unit price per catty of rice and noodles rise so much?" ”

"What's more, if I buy so much at once, the price should be lower than usual."

"Brother Wei, you're wrong."

The money shopkeeper smiled and helped the two refill the tea, "Now it's not that the more you buy, the lower the unit price, but the more you buy, the higher the unit price will be." ”

"Oh? And this novel statement? ”

"It didn't have to be before, but now in this world, it really has to be."

The money shopkeeper took a sip of hot tea and squinted his eyes comfortably.

"Now that the war in Mozhou is in turmoil, refugees are coming one after another, and the harsh winter is coming, every household in the city needs to reserve winter food.

The price of this grain is not only one day at a time, it is simply a day that can be changed several times. ”

"So, you are actually losing a lot of money for us when you buy so much food at once.

That is, my shop is backed by the master of the inner city, and there is a large area of tenant farmland outside.

If you change to another grain store, they will not accept your business like the old brother. ”

"Besides, if a man has no foresight, he will have near-term worries;

The autumn wind has not moved the cicadas, and the secret plan is impermanent.

Brother Wei also knows that behind our shop is the old man in the inner city,

Your martial arts hall can see and feel the situation in advance, will his old man still be blinded?

Maybe it's because you stand taller and see farther. ”

The money shopkeeper leaned closer and lowered his voice, "Don't say anything else, if the chaos in Mozhou spreads, food is something more precious than real money, as the saying goes, there is food at home, and if you hold a knife and gun, your heart will not panic." ”

You store grain, come to me to store guns, and your home is my granary.

Wei Tao inexplicably flashed such a sentence in his heart, and nodded slightly, "What Brother Qian said is indeed very reasonable. ”

He grabbed a pen and paper and added another line at the end of the piece of straw paper, "I will add another cart of rice noodles and a cart of dried meat, and I will send it to this house." ”

"Brother Wei, rest assured, our old money has always done things without leakage, and there will never be any mistakes in the accounts."

The money shopkeeper smiled, handed over a look that everyone understood, and after confirming, he threw the piece of straw paper directly into the heating stove.
