Chapter 21 Debt Collection
The next day, early in the morning.
The two changed into shabby clothes and came to the Luoyang City Gate with a pile of firewood on their backs.
The guards let them in without even checking them.
Wu Zhengji came to Qin Mu's side, "I have been a bad person here for a while in this Luoyang West Market before, and this can be regarded as the second most prosperous market in Luoyang. ”
As far as the eye can see, the crowd is bustling, the cries are endless, the daily life of Luoyang people is in full view, and those who come to the market early in the morning with their children in their arms, there are also rich people who sit in a manpower sedan chair and shuttle in the market.
It was the first time Qin Mu had seen such a scene, and compared with today's shopping malls and boutique streets, it was more pyrotechnic.
"Don't talk about it, buy clothes, find an inn and take a shower first."
Wu Zhengji nodded, he walked alone in the alley for a long time, and after a while, he took out a bag of copper coins.
"I don't think you're quite careful?"
Wu Zhengji smiled, "It's all to keep the back hand, this money can't be put in one place." ”
The two bought two black robes, and Qin Mu specially instructed them to buy old clothes, so that they could hide their eyes and ears and blend into them.
After all, this is not a New Year's Day, and it is easy to be interrogated by patrol guards when suddenly dressed very new.
"Where is the Chengyi Workshop in this West Market?" Qin Mu asked.
"Chengyifang? It's next to Hibiscus Garden, but it's a good place. ”
"Don't lead the way yet."
The two of them passed through the markets, and after a while they came to a stop in front of the largest house on the west side of Chengyifang.
"This is? Lee House? ”
Qin Mu walked to the door and took out the key from the stone lion's mouth.
"No matter what his house is, this house will be mine from now on."
Wu Zhengji's face was full of shock, "Qin Lang, it's really fake, this house can't be taken down without a thousand taels!" ”
"This is what Master Zhang paid me at the beginning."
"However, this deed, and the household register..."
Qin Mu opened the door, and what came into his eyes was dusty.
"Don't worry, I will still be called Qin Mu in the future, my current identity is the son of a wealthy merchant in Chang'an, and I came here to do business, and you, Wu Zhengji, will be the housekeeper of this Li Mansion in the future."
Wu Zhengji hurriedly said: "No, all the bad people here know me, if I show up, I will be exposed sooner or later!" ”
"How's your kung fu?"
"Well, it's no problem for me to fight three or four alone."
"Very well, I don't need you to show up in the future, understand?"
Wu Zhengji understood in seconds, he knew that Qin Mu was asking him to do something shady.
Qin Mu looked at the huge courtyard, he was happy in his heart, in the future, he could only squeeze into a dozen square meters of rental houses, and he would enjoy the feeling of living in a big villa in the days to come.
He went to the cellar of the house and took out his equipment, as well as his eight-handed off-road bicycle, which had fallen on a thick layer of dust.
"Money can make ghosts grind, and it can be used in any era." Qin Mu sighed to himself.
Wu Zhengji followed behind with more doubts, those officials could completely pretend to agree and then regret it, anyway, Qin Mu was in prison, what could he do if he didn't give these things?
"Qin Lang, what will happen if those officials repent on the conditions they promised?"
"How? I'm going to let him die a bad death. Qin Mu's eyes instantly lit up with murderous anger and then smiled, "Teasing you, this thing is a kind of mutual trust, do you know that Lord Zhang is the first to go out, and a house is a fart for him?" ”
Wu Zhengji nodded, "It turns out that I don't have enough money..."
"You're thinking too much, I didn't intend to save you from the beginning, no, I didn't intend to save you in the same way as they did from the beginning.
The gap between you is too big, relying on those suggestions to impress the martial arts queen will not work at all, you are a bad person, the lowest law enforcer, why do you think you are in prison? Qin Mu asked rhetorically.
"It's nothing more than changing my own person, I'm just getting kicked out of that person."
"It seems that I have figured out a lot in prison, and my children can be taught."
"So what do we do next?" Wu Zhengji asked.
Qin Mu took out his small pot, "Then of course cook and eat!" ”
Wu Zhengji looked at the pot in his hand so weird, but he didn't ask much when he thought that Qin Mu was very weird himself.
"Then I'll go buy some groceries."
Wu Zhengji walked out of the door, and in order not to be recognized, he covered half of his face with his collar.
Along the way, he half-bowed his head, shuttled through the crowd, and walked through many small alleys to a private house and knocked on the door.
"Here we go!" There was an answer from inside the door.
"Hey, brother! You're back! ”
Wu Zhengji glanced around and entered the room.
"Qing'er, time is pressing, you pack up your salutes, let's go out of the city today."
"Brother, you escaped from prison! Your brothers came here two days ago. ”
Wu Zhengji immediately stopped, "Who are they?" ”
"The ones you usually go out to eat with."
"Bang bang bang... Xiaoqing! ”
There was a sharp knock at the door.
Wu Zhengji slowly retreated into the room.
Xiaoqing responded, "It's coming!" ”
Outside the door stood four men, dressed in the trappers of the bad guys, with swords pinned to their waists.
"Xiaoqing, your brother escaped from him, do you know?"
Xiaoqing covered her mouth and looked shocked, "Really? That's great! ”
"Don't worry, as long as he comes out to find you, you tell us, and we will help him as brothers."
"That's right, Xiaoqing, we brothers must protect him."
Xiaoqing nodded excitedly, "Thank you, big brother, if my brother comes back, I will tell you as soon as possible." ”
A few people glanced into the courtyard, then dispersed.
Xiaoqing closed the door, took a deep breath, and then slowly returned to the house.
"Brother, they're gone."
"Well, these people can't be trusted at all."
Wu Zhengji knew in his heart that although they usually called brothers and sisters, they were actually friends with wine and meat, and they were all a group of mercenary ruffians and hooligans.
"You bring some change of clothes, and we'll leave right away."
"Hmmm! Good. ”
Xiaoqing hurriedly cleaned up.
Half an hour later, the two walked out the door with their baggage.
Suddenly, Wu Zhengji's familiar voice came from behind him.
"Boss, just leave, don't get together."
Wu Zhengji turned around, "Brothers, can you let go of a way out." ”
"Let it go, you've made so much money over the years, why don't you give it all to us, then we can talk about it."
Wu Zhengji smiled and said, "Yes, but the money is not here, I'll take you there." ”
Several people looked at each other and nodded.
They only wanted money, and they only rewarded Wu Zhengji with a few dollars when they caught Wu Zhengji and handed him over, so they did it for fools.
Wu Zhengji was surrounded by four people, and Xiaoqing pulled him and made eye contact.
Xiaoqing touched the burden with her hand, and Wu Zhengji immediately stopped her.
Kill them here, but in the end I can't escape, and now I have to find another way to get out.
Wu Zhengji led them to the door of Qin Mu's house.
"Yo roar, Brother Wu, this house is quite magnificent, where did you get it?"
"Let's go inside, there are still people inside, and that's where I hide my money."
Two men pushed open the door and explored the way ahead.
As soon as the door opened, there was a smell of food in the room.
Across the courtyard, in the lobby, a figure was stir-frying.
Qin Mu put down the spatula and looked at the comer.
"Stinky boy, disobedient!"
