Chapter 454: Touching the Melons with the Vine
"Brother Liang, after the matter at hand is dealt with, let's come to Dongfu Haifang. It can be as short as a month or as long as no more than three months, and the new store can be opened. ”
Back in Yanmen County, Zhao Lin told him about being a shopkeeper in Jindantang and invited Liang Song to help in the store.
"Okay! When the turtle hatches, I can go. ”
Liang Song agreed without hesitation, the two intersected with each other, since Zhao Lin opened his mouth, he would definitely not treat himself badly.
"The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever."
"Brother Zhao be careful on the road."
……
"Why don't you open the door yet, didn't you say Chenshi?"
"Don't worry, a good meal is not afraid of being late, there is movement inside!"
Early that morning, Fengming Street, located in the most prosperous area of Dongfu Haifang, was crowded with people, and hundreds of monks gathered in front of a shop.
There is a circle of red silk wrapped around the plaque of the store, and there are three big characters on it: Red Bead Pavilion.
It was Zhao Lin's newly opened shop, which was dedicated to selling cultivation resources produced on Chiwei Island.
Before the opening, Zhao Lin rented a hundred billboards and publicized the news of the opening for a month, and almost every monk who had come to Dongfu Haifang knew about it.
When the hour came, the gates opened on both sides.
Zhao Lin walked out with Gu Dezhao, Liang Song, Li Sancai, Gu An and others, and said: "Chizhu Pavilion opens today, thank you for your ......"
"Shopkeeper, don't waste time, open the door."
"That's it, don't talk about the scene, it's real to give more discounts."
The monks coaxed.
"Okay, all items are sold at 10% off, while supplies last!"
Zhao Lin flashed to the side and made a "please" gesture.
The monks immediately rushed into the shop, scavenging as if they didn't need money to buy something.
"Brother Zhao...... Shopkeeper Zhao, our business is too good! ”
Liang Song said in surprise.
Zhao Lin smiled, "Lingzhu is a scarce resource, everyone wants to buy it, even if you don't use it, you can make money by taking it to another market, and you can make money by just turning it over, and the price will be normal after a few days." ”
"Brother Liang learns more from the ancients, and when you get acquainted with it, you will be at the helm of this shop."
Liang Song resigned from the position of the Imperial Beast Hall in Yanmen County and came to Fang City to defect to Zhao Lin. I thought I would be a buddy at most, but I didn't expect Zhao Lin to directly arrange for him to be the second shopkeeper.
In addition to gratitude, I was a little embarrassed: "I don't know how to run a store, is it too hasty?" ”
Gu Dezhao hurriedly said: "Liang Daoyou is too worried, no one understands it at first, and he will learn it slowly." ”
At this time, Steward Liu of the Administration came over, holding a pot of rich bamboo in his hand, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the shopkeeper Zhao, the opening is auspicious, on behalf of the office, I wish the shopkeeper Zhao a prosperous business and a prosperous future." ”
"Rare guest, thank you shopkeeper Liu."
Zhao Lin took the rich bamboo, and was slightly surprised in his heart, it is rare for the store to open, and the administrative office specially sent someone to celebrate.
After a few words of greeting, Steward Liu made a look, pulled Zhao Lin aside, his lips moved slightly, and said with sound transmission: "Shopkeeper Zhao, our owner is looking for you." ”
Sure enough, something......
Zhao Lin nodded quietly, explained to Liang Song, Gu Dezhao and others, and followed Steward Liu to the administrative office.
I was a little curious, I had only dealt with the owner Wei Zongchuan once when the Lingzhou was robbed, and I rarely interacted with each other on weekdays, so what was the reason for suddenly looking for myself today?
"Zhao Xiaoyou, we meet again."
When he came to the second floor of the administrative office, Wei Zongchuan stood up to greet him, pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Please take a seat." ”
Zhao Lin sat down generously and asked, "I don't know if the owner of the workshop is calling, what is the send?" ”
"Zhao Xiaoyou's words are serious, where is there any dispatch."
Wei Zongchuan laughed and said straight to the point: "Don't hide it from Xiaoyou, there are spies in our market." ”
"Spies?"
Zhao Lin was not surprised when he heard this, Fang City is a place where all directions converge and people gather, and it is normal to have eyeliner.
It's hard to say about other sects, but there must be the eyeliner of the Earth Dark Sect. The robbery of the shop's spirit boat, and the fact that the monks of the Dark Sect obtained their own breath when they went to sea are proof of this.
But Wei Zongchuan came to himself and said what he was doing with this?
Zhao Lin didn't say anything, and waited quietly for the other party to continue.
Wei Zongchuan also sold Guan Zi, brushed his beard, and told the story of the incident.
It turned out that a month ago, when the Fang City patrol was patrolling the seaside, the spirit boat accidentally bumped into an albatross.
The patrolman was kind enough to rescue the albatross from the sea, and accidentally found a piece of paper tied to the albatross's leg.
There were many difficult characters written on the paper, and the patrolman suspected that it was some kind of ciphertext, so they healed the albatross and released it back to freedom.
The albatross flew all the way to Chiwei Island and entered the area under the jurisdiction of the Earth Dark Sect.
The patrol followed behind, witnessed all this, and went back to report the matter to Wei Zongchuan.
In the past two years, the relationship between Cheng Huazong and the Diyin Sect has been tense, and there may even be a war, Wei Zongchuan did not dare to slack off, and immediately arranged for people to investigate the matter.
After half a month of tracking and surveillance, it was finally discovered that there were indeed monks who released albatross in the wild.
And confirmed the identity of the monk: Yangquan, a guy from Fang City called "Heqitang".
Hearing the three words of harmony, Zhao Lin's face changed.
Harmony Hall is the eyeliner of the Earth Dark Sect!
No wonder every time I go to Heqitang, I always feel that Shopkeeper Tian and that guy are a little weird, but I didn't expect that there was really a problem.
Suddenly there was a feeling in my heart that was both unexpected and reasonable.
"Zhao Xiaoyou knows the people of Heqitang?"
Wei Zongchuan observed the words and looked at the expression, and asked.
"Don't hide it from the owner of Wei, the younger generation once visited their shop, and I thought it was strange at the time, why the business of the store was not very good, but it could be maintained."
"That's true, we monitored and found that this store is rarely frequented."
Wei Zongchuan continued: "As an emerging market, Dongfu Haifang has developed very rapidly in the past two years. ”
"However, these eyeliners are all monks of foreign sects, and they are all inquiring about business information, and they all send letters through the letter tower, and they have been filed in advance, which is not a big deal."
"But it's different with Qitang, the four people in the shop are all natives of the Chenghua Sect, but they passed the news to the Earth Dark Sect, and secretly used albatross to transmit the message, there is definitely a problem!"
Zhao Lin asked, "Since the owner of Wei Fang is sure that they are spies, why don't you arrest them directly?" ”
Wei Zongchuan shook his head slowly, "Of course the old man wants to arrest them directly, but after these days of surveillance, I found that they not only collected information in Fang City, but also often contacted people from other counties. ”
"Using tracking spells, we captured their messengers and marked them. It can be determined that Wakido is an intermediate hub, and there are correspondence with more than a dozen counties. ”
"After summarizing, it will be sent to Chiwei Island."
Speaking of this, he paused, "It's easy to catch them, but when the news spreads, the spies in other counties will immediately flee or hide." ”
Looking at Wei Zongchuan's eager eyes, Zhao Lin understood that this foundation-building monk wanted to make a great contribution and take down the intelligence network of the Earth Dark Sect in one fell swoop.
"Fang Master Wei wants to arrest the people of Heqitang and not alarm the others?"
Wei Zongchuan bowed: "Exactly!" We don't know the temperament of these people, and if they see that the matter is exposed, it will not be easy to destroy the evidence and take the blame for committing suicide. ”
"Only by grasping the live can we find out the other strongholds."
Zhao Lin guessed Wei Zongchuan's purpose for finding himself, but he still had a question in his heart.
"Master Wei, you are a foundation building monk, as long as you remove the suppression circle on that street, won't you be able to easily solve them?"
The magic circle in Fang City can suppress the monk's spiritual aperture, so that it cannot cast attack spells, and the combat power of the foundation building monk and the qi refining monk in Fang City is not much different.
If you let it go, the difference in cultivation will be revealed.
Wei Zongchuan smiled, shook his head and said, "The old man can indeed remove the suppression circle on that street, but as soon as the magic circle stops, they can detect it immediately, and it still can't have the effect of a surprise attack." ”
"And the three caves of the cunning rabbit, what if they have other strongholds in Fang City?"
After speaking, he looked at Zhao Lin steadily, "Zhao Xiaoyou is a martial artist, even if he doesn't rely on spells, he has strong combat power, the old man invited you to come, just hoping to help capture them." ”
Zhao Lin didn't speak, lowered his head and groaned.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that this thing could be done!
First of all, the Earth Dark Sect is its own great enemy, even if he doesn't consider the sect, it is beneficial for him to start from his own interests and destroy the spy network of the Earth Dark Sect.
The Earth Dark Sect hated himself to the core, Zhao Lin was very careful every time he went out, and he easily did not dare to participate in the sect's tasks, because he was afraid of being plotted by the Earth Dark Sect.
Second, if you accomplish this, you will definitely get a lot of good deeds.
Although he has nearly 20,000 good deeds, no one will think that his good deeds are many.
The risk of this matter is not great, but the good deeds earned will not be less.
Without using attack spells, Qi Refining Realm cultivators are vulnerable in front of them.
In addition to these two reasons, Zhao Lin also has a careful thought.
From the seventh layer of Qi refining to the ninth layer of Qi refining, you need to go through several small levels, and the first and last spirit points of each layer are extremely difficult to break through.
He only had two Chong Qi Pills on hand, and he was reluctant to use them.
If you are responsible for arresting the shopkeeper Tian and others, you have the right to search and arrest first, and get the Chongqiao Pill of the shopkeeper Tian.
Although Shopkeeper Tian claimed that there was no Chong Qi Dan, Zhao Lin did not believe it.
Seeing Zhao Lin hesitate, Wei Zongchuan said with a smile: "Zhao Xiaoyou, rest assured, the old man will not let you be busy in vain, and there will definitely be rewards for good deeds." ”
Zhao Lin no longer hesitated when he heard this, "Okay, since the owner of the workshop has spoken, the younger generation has no shirk!" ”
"Happy!"
Wei Zongchuan's face was overjoyed, he raised his palm and patted it twice.
In the middle of the room came a small, lean-looking monk.
"This is Li Ying, the patrol guard I just mentioned about discovering the albatross, and he will assist Xiaoyou in this capture."
Wei Zongchuan introduced.
"Zhao Daoyou."
Li Ying hugged his fists.
"Inspector Li."
Zhao Lin politely returned the salute.
After a few polite words, the three of them began to discuss the details of the arrest.
According to Li Ying, there are four monks in the Heqi Hall: Shopkeeper Tian, buddies Yang Quan and Zhu Kui, and an errand runner named Hu Zhi.
If you want to arrest people in the market without knowing it, it is best to rush before closing at night, when the flow of people is the least.
After closing, each shop will open a small guard circle, which is not easy to use.
Zhao Lin decided to go into the store alone to do it, and Li Ying and the others were outside.
Li Ying was cautious and asked, "Do you want to send someone with Zhao Daoyou, after all, there are four of them." ”
Zhao Lin waved his hand and said: "No need, I am enough alone, what I am most afraid of is that someone will enter the store during the period." ”
Li Yingdao: "You can rest assured about this, I will lead people to patrol the streets, and if someone wants to enter the store, I will find a way to delay." ”
Zhao Lin smiled: "Then it's no problem." ”
Wei Zongchuan interjected: "When does Zhao Xiaoyou think it's appropriate to do it one day?" ”
Zhao Lin said: "It's better to be sooner rather than later, so as not to have too many dreams at night, just tonight!" ”
Seeing that Zhao Lin was so decisive, Wei Zong said "yes" and asked, "What else do you want?" ”
Zhao Lin thought for a while and said, "I still have to make an emergency plan." ”
Wei Zongchuan was stunned, "What emergency plan?" ”
"What if someone in the store escapes, or something unexpected happens, what is Master Wei going to do?"
Wei Zongchuan groaned for a moment and said, "I will block the entire Fang City." ”
Zhao Lin nodded, "That's the best, just in case." ”
Wei Zongchuan stroked his palm and said, "That's it." Please ask Zhao Xiaoyou for this matter, if you can successfully win the four people, the old man will give you the first credit! ”
Zhao Lin came out of the office and did not go back to Chizhu Pavilion, but came to the street where Jindantang was located and walked into the "Xifu Hall" next door.
Xifutang is a thousand-year-old talisman shop, selling all-encompassing talismans, and it is very famous in the entire Chenghua Sect.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, what do you want?"
The guy greeted him warmly and asked.
"Buy a mantra talisman."
Zhao Lin said succinctly.
True Word Talisman, a first-order superlative divine consciousness talisman.
Crushing into the monk's divine court can plunge it into a state of confusion.
During the interrogation, the monk is able to answer simple questions such as "yes", "no", "yes", "no", or "what to do".
If the question is too complicated, the monk may not be able to answer it.
The Mantra Talisman only takes effect on Qi Refining Realm cultivators, and lasts only ten breaths.
Once the ten breaths are exceeded, the monk will wake up instantly.
Divine consciousness talismans are expensive, and the mantra talisman is no exception, one talisman is worth one hundred good deeds plus one thousand spirit coins.
Zhao Lin's purpose in buying this mantra talisman was naturally to ask the location of the Chong Qi Dan from the mouth of the shopkeeper Tian.
Time is pressing, there is no time to coerce and induce, so this can only be used.
Zhao Lin paid the money, got the mantra talisman, and returned to the Red Bead Pavilion.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, what is the Administration looking for you?"
Gu Dezhao asked.
"It's okay, I just asked about the rent."
Zhao Lin casually pulled a reason.
Gu Dezhao put his mind at ease, "That's good, then this side will be handed over to Shopkeeper Zhao, and the old man will go back to Jindantang." ”
Zhao Lin stayed in the store until the afternoon, and rehearsed the arrest process several times in his heart.
When I was in the mortal world, I was a fast catcher, and I didn't catch many people, but I didn't expect to return to my old business.
The sky was about to dark, and at the end of the day, Zhao Lin walked out of the Chizhu Pavilion and came to Longxiang Street, where the Heqi Hall was located, and saw Li Ying walking from the opposite side.
The two looked at each other and staggered by. (End of chapter)
