Chapter 19 Knowing Me

Although Stone Town has been expanded several times, due to its original layout and surrounding landform restrictions, it is still unable to meet the living needs of most of the people of the old Chen Kingdom, so now the price of Stone Town is high, and the degree of population is no less dense than that of Daxing City, the capital of the Sui Dynasty.

There are three markets in Stone Town, one large, two small and three markets, and the Daya Market is the largest on the central axis of the city, and you can see bustling tourists and people almost every day, which is undoubtedly the first choice for merchants, pawns, and peddlers near Stone Town to open shops or sell goods.

Another city north market is located in the northeast corner of the city, mainly selling daily necessities, small workshop products and all kinds of scattered food, because the neighborhoods and alleys in the north of the city live the largest number of people in the stone city, so some vendors gather in one place, so this market is gradually formed.

There is also a market called Shangxian Market, which is located near the Jiangzhou Prefecture in the west of the city, and the flow of people in this market will be much smaller than the other two markets, but if you talk about business income, I am afraid that the merchants of Daya Market and Chengbei Market will not be able to compare with this Shangxian Market even if they are combined.

After all, most of the paintings and calligraphy collections and jade treasures sold by Shang Xian are all in or not far from Shang Xianji.

Wang Liu's Wanjin Warehouse also drove in Shangxianji without accident, Xu Wei and others' carriage drove all the way to the vicinity of Shangxianji, and after Wu Banjin tied the carriage in a fixed open space, the four of them walked towards the Wanjin Warehouse.

Wanjin Treasury is the first private quarantery in Stone City, its function is no different from the pawnshop of later generations, mainly engaged in the pawn business, if there is really any difference, that is, because this private quarantinery is a precedent for private pawnshops, so many rules are not as good as the pawnshop norms of later generations, Wang Liu is also for being able to set his own pawn rules, exploiting the loopholes of the world, so he scattered his wealth to open this Wanjin Treasury.

In addition to the normal pawn work, there is also a large area to display the treasures that can be sold in the treasure store, most of these treasures are pawns that the pawn guests have no time to redeem, and some of them are valuable things that Wang Liu himself collected from all over the world.

However, it can be seen that the treasure sales business of this treasure store left by Wang seems to be a bit depressed, and there are many people waiting in line at the place where the things are pawned, but almost no one visits and selects the treasures on display.

After Xu Wei and the others walked into the Wanjin Warehouse, they walked straight towards the place where the treasures were displayed and sold, and there were a few guys who had no spirit at the treasure trading counter, and when they saw Xu Wei walking towards Lu Xiao here, they immediately greeted him with a happy face.

But when an old man saw that Xu Wei and Lu Xiao and the others were not dressed in gold, the look of disdain on his face was undisguised, and he turned his head and sat back behind the counter on the side.

Seeing the master's expression, the two young men naturally knew that Xu Wei and the others were lowly masters who couldn't afford to buy treasures and still had to visit.

But these two guys saw that Lu Xiao and Xiuxiu were generous and shy, and they seemed to want to hook up with each other, so they went straight to Xu Wei and Wu Banjin, who were dressed in ordinary clothes, and proudly wanted to pull Lu Xiao and Xiuxiu to introduce the treasures displayed in the shop, as if they were their own treasures.

Wu Banjin directly turned around and blocked in front of Lu Xiao and Xiuxiu, while Xu Wei walked forward to the middle of the pile of treasures on display, and his two knives, one long and one short, hung quietly here.

"Fortunately, I didn't sell it......" Xu Wei said to himself with a sigh of relief, and then reached for his two knives.

"Hey! What are you doing with dirt buns?! The two young men who had been spoiled by Wu Banjin were worried about all kinds of anger and did not set off, and when they saw Xu Wei going to get the most expensive knife in the treasure as if they were in their own homes, they immediately came aggressively like a vicious dog raised by a rich family.

"Stop! Are you here to smash the field? Don't you know that this is the shop of Wang Liu, the boss of the new wealthy merchant in Shendu? One of the guys, who looked a little rustic but was dressed more luxuriously than Wang Liu, pointed at Xu Weidao, and looked back at Lu Xiao and Xiuxiu proudly after speaking.

It's a pity that Lu Xiao didn't look at him at all, but trotted to Xu Wei's side and said happily: "Is it these two handles?" I said that Wang Liu's heart is so good, and he will definitely not sell it when he says it. ”

Xu Wei said, "Sure enough, Miss Lu is smart", he took the two knives in his hands together, and first pulled out the long one with a "swish", this handle is the authentic Sui Dynasty horizontal knife system, and the head of the knife is slightly bent upwards in an arc, which looks chic and sharp.

Unlike the legendary treasure knife, which is full of silver light, this longer knife only faintly reveals a cold light that cannot be dispersed, and it looks more hidden. The knife surface is deeply quenched with extremely beautiful mountain and river patterns, and it seems to be hollow out and three-dimensional when you look closely.

There is a small bead glowing with pale yellow fluorescence on the handle of the long knife, although Xu Wei did not know that this small bead is the rare tears of the East China Sea shark in the world, but when holding the handle of the knife, he can also feel the energy and blood of the whole body.

After retracting the longer knife, Xu Wei's wrist turned to look at the shorter knife, Lu Xiao slightly turned his head to see Xu Wei's painful look when he pulled out the short knife, and at the moment when the short knife was unsheathed, even Lu Xiao, who had never seen the bones buried on the battlefield, could feel a burst of hatred and cold from the abyss.

Xu Wei's right hand out of the sheath of this short knife slightly longer than the dagger, the guys in the shop is the first time to see it out of the sheath, the handle of this short knife is engraved with the beast totem outside the plug, the end slightly bent back a strange arc, the back of the short knife is dark but the blade is silver and white dew cold light, just a glance I feel that I will be peeled and sliced by this knife.

The lower part of the blade of the short knife was also tempered into a tight and neat jagged shape, like the dense fangs of the beasts of the mountains and seas, which made people feel a tingling feeling from head to toe, Xu Wei saw that Lu Xiao's subconscious body beside him retreated, and quickly closed the short knife.

He actually knows a lot more about this short knife than the long knife, because this short knife was taken from the leader of the West Wolf Clan who attacked them that year, it is said that it was a knife cursed by the priest of the West Wolf Clan, and some of the undead killed by the knife will be absorbed by the knife, if the owner of the knife can hold it, it will be a monster that is difficult to find in the world, but if the owner of the knife can't hold it, he will be sucked out of life by this knife and die.

These things were said by the leader of the Naxi Wolf Clan before he died, Xu Wei thought he was bluffing, and it was not until he pulled out this short knife for the first time that he really felt the fear from the abyssal revenant.

However, this short knife does not seem to suck away Xu Wei's vitality for the time being, and Xu Wei, who has retrieved two knives again, only feels refreshed, ignoring the call of the old shopkeeper next to the counter to obstruct him, and walks towards the door of the Wanjin Treasury with Lu Xiao.

The young man who was dressed in wealth but looked rustic saw Xu Wei's action of drawing a knife, which caused Lu Xiao to show a look of surprise, and he already felt that he was not in a good mood, and at this moment, seeing Xu Wei snatched the precious double knife and left, which made him even more angry.

Especially seeing the delicate and green girl like a spring cherry blossom next to Xu Wei even showed a happy smile after witnessing Xu Wei's robbership, it was simply ridiculous for a rustic guy who didn't know the inside story.

Another triangular-eyed young man who still wanted to pester Xiuxiu saw that Xu Wei was about to leave with a knife, so he immediately stepped forward with his companions to stop him.

The triangle-eyed guy and the rustic guy could have shouted loudly and asked the other guys in the store to come out to help or report to the official, but both of them had practiced martial arts in the nearby martial arts hall, and they realized that this plain-clothed man of the same age could not be their opponent, and naturally no one dared to carry a knife next to the Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion, so this person must only be beaten.

"What are you going to do? This knife was originally promised, and if you don't believe it, you can go to the next state capital to report to the official. Lu Xiao saw that the two young guys were like dogs who were not good at seeing meat buns, so he waved his sleeves and said.

"Where did the crazy woman and the crazy man come from? If you want to grab something, your mouth is still so hard, so I put down the two knives and begged the master to beg me, and I will not teach you a lesson and let you go when I am comfortable. The rustic guy didn't take Xu Wei in his eyes at all, and looked at Lu Xiao's weak Tingting and said obscenely.

The young man with triangular eyes listened to his companion's dissolute words, and his mood suddenly became high, he laughed very arrogantly, and said excitedly to the rustic guy next to him: "Don't worry brother, since this group of thieves has thrown themselves into the net, let's teach the two men a lesson first, and then teach the two little ladies a good lesson." ”

The young man with the triangular eyes said that he stepped forward and swung his fist to hit Xu Wei, I have to say that this young triangular-eyed guy has some martial arts skills, and his upper body looks not bad, but his mind is simple and his steps are vain, and he completely forgot that there is a Wu Banjin behind him.

Wu Banjin almost never practiced the style, but he was a farmer when he was young, and when he grew up, he followed Lu Xiao to do business, and he did a lot of work to carry rice and vegetables, so he naturally still had a little strength.

When the young man with the triangular eye was pestering Xiuxiu before, Wu Banjin had already had a quarrel with him, and now taking advantage of the opportunity when the triangular eye was about to rush up and beat Xu Wei, the cat rushed to hug the waist of the triangular guy before Wu Banjin took a big stride behind, and the triangular-eyed guy was pulled down by Wu Banjin as soon as he took a step, and the two fell to the ground together.

Wu Banjin is naturally not a big deal if he is on guard, but the triangular-eyed guy who was dragged down by him rushed towards Xu Wei because of his fist, his mind was full of his usual boxing combos, and he didn't have time to make a little body action, and after he fell to the ground with a stiff "bump", his arm was actually broken......

The rustic young guy was at a loss for what to do when he looked at the triangular-eyed guy who was rolling in pain and screaming, when suddenly an approachable-looking face appeared in front of him, with a pair of deep eyes on his face, as if he was completely empty.

The rustic guy's attention was still on Xu Wei's approaching face, and the next moment he was already kneeling on the ground with his chest and abdomen covered, he only felt that his chest was hit hard by a blunt object, and the moment he just hit it, he even felt that his soul was about to be poked away.

", what's going on! What a noise! How dare you make trouble with me? A sturdy and fierce-faced man rushed out of the inner hall of the quality warehouse, followed by a few little brothers dressed in colorful colors, each holding a variety of weapons such as bones, small axes, and iron chains, looking extremely vicious, who else could it be if it wasn't Wang Li and his group of subordinates?

It seems that the movement is a little bigger, and the main owner is drawn out, but I'm really afraid that they won't come out...... Xu Wei thought to himself.

"Boss, they're grabbing knives! also played tricks to harm me and Liu Wan. When the young man with triangular eyes saw Wang Li coming, he didn't care about crying and complained loudly.

The rustic young man named Liu Wan also wanted Wang Li to avenge them, but at this time, he was still curled up on the ground with a huge pain in his chest, and a lot of saliva flowed out, but his throat could only make a few retching sounds as if he was stuck.

Wang Li saw Xu Wei standing in front of Liu Wan, who was curled up, and his eyes were so shocked that his eyes were about to fly out of his sockets, and when he saw Xu Wei's action of handing over the two knives to Lu Xiao, he subconsciously wanted to raise his hand and say to Xu Wei: "Xu Gongzi, you listen to my explanation first......"

However, Xu Wei didn't have time to hear Wang Li say this, and his breathing had already adjusted in place in the moment when he rushed out.

When the onlookers inside and outside the quality warehouse didn't know what was going on, they only heard a "boom", Wang Li had been punched by Xu Wei and slammed into the counter in the pawn area, Xu Wei turned sideways and looked at Wang Li, who vomited blood, and said: "Haven't you always wanted to know my catties?" ”

At the same time, Wang Liu, who wanted to wait for Wang Li to settle the people who were looking for faults, and then showed off his might, slipped back into the inner hall of the quality warehouse, and hid tremblingly.

Outside the door of the Wanjin Warehouse, the travelers who were originally onlookers were unceremoniously driven away with sticks by a group of domineering people, and a figure wearing Luo Daisu hummed a small song and slowly walked towards the Wanjin Treasury......
