Early the next morning, Li Zhen and Jiuzhi came to Luoyang South City.

Luoyang South City is currently the largest market in Datang, twice as large as Chang'an's West Market, occupying an area of two squares, involving more than 200 rows and nearly 3,000 shops.

As soon as I entered the southern market, the hustle and bustle was coming, the market was full of mules and horses full of goods, and groups of camels coming from the west slowed down in the dense flow of people.

There are accents everywhere, noisy and shouting, and there are constantly battles between shops competing for customers.

Li Zhen made an appointment with his eldest sister Li Quan in Dunhuang, and Li Quan came to Luoyang first and put her address in Luoyang in a fellow villager's shop.

This fellow villager, surnamed Qin, used to be a neighbor of Li Zhen's family, and opened a wine shop in Nanshi, specializing in Gaochang wine, Li Zhen remembered the name of the store, called Yajiuju.

"The liquor store is there!"

Jiuzhi has a sharp eye, and at a glance he can see the street selling liquor, which is also the characteristic of the Datang market, where all the shops of the same kind are gathered together, called the line, the wine store, the jewelry store, the rice store, the mule and horse shop, and so on.

Li Zhen also saw that dozens of steps ahead, a big sign stood on the top of the building, with the word 'wine shop' written on it, and it was much easier to find the wine store first, and then find a specific wine shop.

The wine store is a 400-step street, with more than 30 large and small wine shops on both sides, nearly seventy percent of Luoyang's wine is supplied from here.

At this moment, Li Zhen heard a familiar voice, "You scoundrels, I'll fight with you!"

Li Zhen was taken aback, this was clearly the voice of his eldest sister Li Quan, he and Jiu Zhi glanced at each other and ran over together.

When I turned to the liquor store street, I saw a large group of people gathered in front of the second store on the right, and surrounded the front of the liquor store.

I heard a fierce voice again, "This mother-in-law is too ruthless, brothers, smash the liquor store!"

"Stop, don't smash my shop!" Li Quan shouted with a crying voice.

Li Zhen only felt the blood rush to the top of his head, he pushed away the crowd watching the excitement, and rushed in, more than 20 men with sticks were swinging sticks and slamming the wine jar at the door, and the ground was full of wine juice.

A woman next to her was held by two big men, and I saw her wearing a draped head, stomping her feet and crying.

Li Zhen's eyes suddenly turned red, the woman was his eldest sister Li Quan, he roared, picked up a whistle stick and punched it, 'Bang Bang!' Two crisp sounds, two screams sounded, and the big man holding Li Quan covered his head and lay on the ground, rolling and howling in pain.

The sudden change stunned everyone, Li Quan turned around and saw her brother, she burst into tears and pounced on her crying, "Ah Zhen, you are finally here!"

Li Zhen whispered a few words of comfort to her sister, asking her to go to the side first, now is not the time to talk about family affection, a group of scoundrels have gathered, staring at Li Zhen viciously.

At this time, Jiuzhi took out two flying knives from his waist, swirled between his fingers, and squinted at the group of scoundrels.

"Where did you come from, wild boy, are you impatient?" a scoundrel leader shouted as he pointed at Li Zhen.

Li Zhen's heart was burning with anger, this group of bastards dared to bully his sister, if he didn't teach them a hard lesson today, he wouldn't be surnamed Li.

"Brothers, slay them!"

The scoundrel led an order, and more than 20 scoundrels rushed up with their sticks, and the crowd around them was so frightened that they retreated one after another, and let out a scream.

Jiu Zhi's two flying knives came out of his hand, hitting the thighs of the two scoundrels, the two screamed, covered their legs and fell to the ground, Jiu Zhi also picked up a wooden stick, screaming and scolding and beating his head.

Li Zhen looked coldly at the scoundrels who rushed up, he roared, as if a tiger was like a flock of sheep, and the wooden stick in his hand was hit like raindrops, and the screams suddenly rose, and more than 20 scoundrels were beaten to the point of crying dad and mother, rolling and falling to the ground.

Li Zhen has been taught the essence of swordsmanship by Pei Min for ten days, and his fighting martial arts have also improved qualitatively, where are these ordinary scoundrels his opponents, Li Zhen only made two impacts, and more than a dozen people were knocked to the ground.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the scoundrel turned to run, and a throwing knife flew to him and hit him in the thigh, and the scoundrel fell to his knees.

Jiuzhi rushed up like a gust of wind, swung his stick and hit his head and face, and knocked him over with a few sticks.

Jiuzhi fought vigorously, and he had to fight with a stick, Li Zhen was afraid that he would kill someone, so he hurriedly stopped him, "That's it, no need to fight anymore!"

Jiu Zhi snorted and put back all his flying knives, he knocked over five or six people today, which was quite enjoyable.

The front of the wine shop was full of injured scoundrels, moaning in pain, Li Zhen scolded: "Get out of here, whoever dares to come next time will not want to live!"

The scoundrels slowly stood up, supported each other, and limped away, at this time, the surrounding crowd burst into cheers, and Li Quan was even more excited, these scoundrels were finally beaten away by their brothers

Li Quan arranged for two men to clean up the smashed shop, and she took Li Zhen and Jiuzhi to the inner room, let them sit down to rest, and poured them hot tea.

Li Zhen drank tea with a teacup and asked strangely: "Sister, why did you open a wine shop, isn't this Yashiju a shop from the same township?"

"Fellow bullshit!"

Li Quan gritted his teeth with hatred, "That's a liar, and he made me miserable." ”

"Sister, don't get excited, speak slowly!"

Li Quan sighed, "Actually, it's also my fault, greedy for cheapness, we came to Luoyang more than a month ago, rented a room to live, I felt that I couldn't sit and eat, so I wanted to find something to do, it just so happened that Qin Nan found me, he is the original owner of this wine shop, our fellow villager." ”

"I know," Sister continued. ”

"He came to me and said that he planned to go back to Dunhuang, for the sake of his fellow villagers, and wanted to transfer the wine shop to me cheaply, and he also had a two-year lease and a lot of inventory, as well as some regular customers.

The transfer price is only 1,000 yuan, this price is really cheap, less than half the price of the normal transfer, I saw that the market here is very good, so I agreed with a hot head, and changed the name to Yashiju"

Speaking of this, Li Quan's eyes showed remorse, wiped his tears and said: "As a result, after I took over the shop, I realized that there were no old customers at all, and the old customers were all snatched away by other stores, and I was deceived by him, but even so, the nightmare has just begun." ”

"I thought that if I didn't have regular customers, I could do a sporadic business, but as soon as the liquor store opened, a group of scoundrels came to harass me every now and then.

I begged them to give them money, but it was useless, and in just one month, I lost nearly 200 yuan. ”

"Didn't my sister go to find that fellow villager?"

"Why didn't I look for it, he had already run away, and I couldn't find it at all, hey! Seeing that the business was yellow, I had no money to buy goods, and my savings for many years had to be lost in this liquor store, I was really stupid! ”

Li Zhen took out a few money bags from the heavy horse bag, and poured out a pile of gold coins, which were all he had left, a total of more than 500 Sogdian gold coins.

He pushed it all to Li Quan, "There are about 600 yuan here, including the 300 yuan that my sister gave me last time, it's useless for me to take it, give it to my sister!"

Li Quan couldn't help crying again, she had been tortured for more than a month, and the arrival of her brother made her see hope again.

Li Zhen hurriedly comforted the eldest sister, "Sister, don't cry, if it's just because the money is not enough, I don't think it's a big problem, I still have a sum of money, and my sister can use it for turnover." ”

Jiuzhi also said on the side: "Sister Quan, don't worry! I also have a lot of money on me, which I can lend to my eldest sister." ”

Li Quan hurriedly wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "Let you laugh, have you eaten, I'll let the guy buy you something to eat." ”

Li Quan got up and went out, she gave the guy a little money, and asked the guy to buy a few pieces of Hu Biscuit and come back, and buy some cooked vegetables.

It happened that someone came to buy wine, Li Quan was busy for a while, and then walked back to the room, she wiped her hands with her apron and smiled: "You are really lucky stars, there is no business for three days, and someone will come to buy wine as soon as you come." ”

At this time, a guy ran over and said, "The proprietor, Aunt Meng is here!"

Li Quan's face immediately sank, and he muttered dissatisfiedly: "She came quite in time!"

"Sister, is it Aunt Meng?" asked Li Zhen with a smile.

"Who else but her, needless to say, is here to ask for money again. ”

Li Quan said to the guy unhappily: "Ah Cai, you beckon her to sit for a while, pour her a cup of tea, and I'll come right away." ”

Li Quan sighed and quickly went to the back room to withdraw the money.

Li Zhen thought that he should say hello to his aunt, so he came to the lobby of the wine shop and heard Aunt Meng complaining from a distance.

"Look at your host, where is she still like a wife, she doesn't go home all day, she doesn't care about her home, and she stays in the store at night, what is her husband?

"Aunt Meng, the proprietor is really busy during this time, you can't blame her!"

"She's busy with a fart, has she made money? I persuaded her to buy a house first, but she didn't listen to me, she had to buy a shop, and now she has no business, she is a loser!"

The two guys didn't dare to say anything, Li Zhen frowned, why did this old woman not change her broken mouth, and she was still like this when she arrived in Luoyang, regardless of whether there were outsiders or not, she talked nonsense.

Li Zhen walked out and saw Meng sitting in front of the store basking in the sun, so he smiled and said, "Aunt Meng, it's been a long time!"

When Meng Shi saw him, he was startled, "Why are you here too?"

Li Zhen smiled, but Meng's face was gloomy as water, this stinky boy appeared here, needless to say, he would definitely have to spend his family's money, she had enough of it in Dunhuang, and now she actually came to Luoyang again, and the ghost is not gone!

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and turned her head to ignore Li Zhen, at this time, Li Quan walked out quickly, holding a bag in his hand, and handed it to Meng Shi, "This is two pieces of money, you can take it!"

Meng Shi was not ambiguous about the money, took the money, glared at Li Zhen fiercely, got up to leave, Li Quan asked, "Mother-in-law, how is the Buddha slave now?"

"He's very good, with my old woman to take care of him, he can't die!"

Meng Shi turned around and walked away angrily, Li Quan's face was red and white, biting his lip tightly, Li Zhen sighed in his heart, and said to the eldest sister: "Sister, go back and see your brother-in-law! ”
