Chapter 31: The Snitch
Today's Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion can be described as a city, and the grand occasion is far more exaggerated than the Jianfeng Tower that was engaged in activities yesterday.
In fact, before the store opened early in the morning, many people had already gathered in front of the store.
The carriages of the families even blocked the road.
Yesterday, the news that Zhao Hanqing brought a group of rich sons to buy swords has spread in the city.
In addition, Du Yujiang secretly arranged people to deliberately spread it, and in this night, the Wei character sword can be said to be famous.
It attracted many sword lovers to come and explore, which has created the grand scene of today's store.
Of course, only a very small number of these customers who came to the store were people who had the ability and really wanted to buy the Wei character sword.
Most of them heard the news that spread so much that they wanted to come to the store to have a look.
What kind of sword can be fought over by the sons of various families.
It's a pity that they can only come on the spur and return in defeat.
Because the Wei character sword in the store has long been sold out, where is there still a physical object for them to taste.
"When will this Wei sword be in stock?" A rich boy in a brocade dress asked.
"I'm really sorry for the guest, it's hard to say the specific time, because now they are all scheduled, and the number of reservations is already ten, and it is estimated that it will take ten days at the earliest, and it may take more than half a month if it is slow." The clerk explained.
"It's going to take so long!"
"There's really no way, honorable guest, after all, a good Wei sword has to be forged, and it has to go through hundreds of processes, so it's not in a hurry, our Wei word sword caster treats every sword, but it is all painstaking and excellence, so a good sword is worth waiting for."
"Little guy, book a Weizi sword for my son, this is a deposit......" someone next to him shouted.
"Childe, if you want to buy it, I suggest you also pay a deposit as soon as possible, and I will rank you up, because the Wei character swordsmith said that only twenty pre-booked places will be accepted this month for the time being, and if it is full, it can only be said next month."
"Okay, then I'll book one too!"
Inside the Jianfeng Building, Qiu Xuanji looked at the endless stream of guests at the door of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, and his face was extremely gloomy.
I was also quite depressed.
He never expected that after a wave of operation, not only did he not press the gourd, but he also gave someone a gourd baby.
Now all his plans are completely defeated, and all his previous achievements have been lost.
On the contrary, it was the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion that took advantage of Wei Yi to suddenly return to its former grandeur.
A jewelry sword is the main product of every sword shop, and it is also the largest and largest product in the market.
Whoever can dominate this market will be the winner.
Obviously, Wanjian Pavilion has become the dominant player in this market by virtue of the Wei character sword.
In the courtyard of the Wei family, Wei Yi was extremely focused on forging the sword body, not knowing the passage of time.
During this period of time, he was striking iron outdoors, and his originally fair complexion was also dyed with a hint of healthy color.
But it still can't hide his elegant and handsome appearance and temperament.
After Wei Qing finished her housework, she went to the market with her basket to buy today's ingredients.
During this time, the blacksmith shop reopened, and business gradually improved, and Wei Xue needed to take care of the shop during the day.
So the task of going to the market to purchase was handed over to Wei Qing.
After buying vegetables, meat, fresh fish and other ingredients at the market, Wei Qing was about to go back.
But at the entrance of the market, I saw a dirty little girl kneeling on the side of the street begging.
She looked pitiful, moved with compassion, and gave the two remaining copper plates in her hand to the little girl.
However, at this moment, in the crowd on the side, a man with sinister eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes fell on the bulging purse on Wei Qing's waist.
But seeing Wei Qing turn around and walk forward, he immediately followed quickly.
When passing by Wei Qing's side, he ripped off the purse around her waist and ran away.
"Ahh Wei Qing exclaimed in surprise, and immediately chased and shouted: "Catch the thief, catch the thief!" ”
However, she could not outrun the snitch, but her shout immediately attracted the attention of those around her.
All eyes looked at the snitch who fled in a hurry.
But no one went to help chase after them, but there were some well-wishers, who shouted together to catch the thief.
However, at this moment, a man in a green shirt who was shopping on the side of the road heard the shouts of the crowd and immediately followed the voice.
At a glance, I saw the snitch running into the alley.
Immediately, without hesitation, he chased after him.
But the snitch ran so fast that he couldn't catch up for a while.
"Stinky boy, you can't run away!"
"Stop!" The man in the green shirt shouted.
"Damn it, nosy guy!" The snitch cursed, but he didn't stop.
He pinched the purse in his hand, and felt that it was not silver.
"Could it be a silver ticket, haha, it's developed now!" The snitch thought to himself, running faster.
He rushed out of the alley to another main street, and with a glance, he locked onto a dark alley in the distance, ready to flee there.
However, at this moment, an extremely luxurious carriage happened to turn around from the corner of the street.
The carriage was hung with a wooden sign of the Jing'an Palace, and there were four guards with knives behind the carriage.
"Catch the thief, catch the thief!" When the man in the green shirt saw the guard behind the carriage, he immediately shouted loudly.
Hoping to get their attention and help intercept the snitch.
However, the guards had not moved, and in the carriage, a red-clothed and heroic figure rushed out.
She was as light as a swallow, her skirt was flying, her silk shoes were lightly on the ground, and in a few jumps, she was already behind the snitch.
A kick knocked him to the ground.
The snitch still wanted to escape, but when he heard the sound of brushing, a cold light flashed, and a sharp long sword was horizontally in front of him.
"The woman spares her life, the woman spares her life!" The snitch was immediately stunned and begged for mercy directly.
This woman in red has a straight posture, a thin waist and long legs, although her chest is flat, her appearance is bright and moving, beautiful and beautiful, and a little heroic.
The head is tied with a high ponytail with a silver hoop, which is even more crisp and neat, and the heroic posture is sassy.
She stretched out her hand and snatched the purse from the snitch's hand, and reprimanded angrily: "Bold thief, dare to rob other people's property in broad daylight." ”
As he spoke, he kicked the thief a few more times.
She was a martial artist, although she didn't use the blood qi in her body, but when she took these few feet, the snitch also wailed in pain.
The bones will be kicked off.
"The woman spares her life, the woman spares her life, the little one is confused for a while, the little one doesn't dare anymore, the woman spares me!"
At this moment, the four guards had already surrounded him, and the man in the green shirt who was chasing after him also ran over, panting.
"Take him to the yamen." The woman in red snapped.
"Yes, Miss Lin." Two guards with knives escorted the snitch to the county office.
The woman in red's eyes fell on the man in the green shirt, her brows furrowed slightly, and she saw that the style of the purse in her hand was not used by the man, but seemed to be a girl's object.
He was a little surprised and asked, "This is yours?" ”
"No, no, I just heard someone shouting to catch the thief, so I chased after him, and I didn't pay attention to who lost it at the time, but I guess the owner of this purse is still in the market." The man in the green shirt scratched his head and said.
"Where did you come from?" The woman in red asked again.
"It's the market over there."
The woman in red followed the man's gesture and looked.
I wanted to give this purse to the man in green shirts, but I felt that it was inappropriate, after all, he was not the owner of this purse.
If he hid it privately, wouldn't he have caught the snitch for nothing?
It's better to go to the market by yourself and look for the lost.
But right now, he is going to accompany the county lord to Zhushan Ju and participate in the Yaji, so he can't delay it for too long.
You have to go and get back quickly.
"County Lord, I'll go to the market and I'll be back quickly." The woman in red said to the carriage and ran quickly towards the alley where the market was located.
"Kaoru ......"
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a beautiful and touching face.
