Yang Bin laughed, "I did go to school for a few years, which made Zhao Shaoxia smile." ”

Zhao Ya glanced at the people in the room again, and said, "It seems that the prestige of Shopkeeper Yang is very high." ”

"I can't talk about any prestige or prestige, it's just that everyone entrusts me to be a housekeeper." Yang Bin said.

Zhao Ya did not continue to dwell on this issue, but asked straight to the point: "I see that the town is very prosperous, such a good business, even if there are many disabled and widowed people to support, it will not even be able to pay the rent." ”

It seems that he had expected this question from Zhao Ya, Yang Bin smiled bitterly, and then said.

"Even if you don't mention this matter, I will tell you, indeed, in the eyes of outsiders, the business in Nandian Town is very prosperous, but there is a reason for this."

"Our Nandian Town is not close to the mountain, and the second is not near the water, the only convenient condition is that it is relatively close to the avenue, but there are more town stores near the road, why do people have to come to you to spend money to live in the store?"

"For this reason, we can only attract passing customers by relying on low prices through small profits and quick turnover, so you will see that the business is so prosperous, but in fact there is not much profit at all."

"You can go to town and investigate this and find out if I'm lying."

These words can be said to be leaky, even Zhao Ya can't find the slightest fault.

And looking at Yang Bin with a sincere face, Zhao Ya knew that he had met an opponent.

This is different from others, such as when dealing with Heiyunzi's gang, it is a big deal to draw a knife and shoot.

But Yang Bin is different, he takes the initiative with a sincere attitude and a sincere expression.

But when it comes to asking for money, it's two words, no.

You can't turn your face yet.

Because people's reasons are so good and reasonable, you can't find anything to refute at all.

But the more this is the case, the more Zhao Ya understands that there must be something greasy in this, but he doesn't know it for the time being.

It's useless to stay any longer, because looking at the attitude of Yang Bin's group, he knows that he is destined to have nothing to gain today.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya nodded, "I see, then I'll go back and hand it over." ”

Saying that, Zhao Ya stood up and planned to leave.

Yang Bin said: "Now the heavy snow outside has not stopped, the weather is cold, and the road is not easy to walk, or Zhao Shaoxia will still live in the town, and wait for tomorrow to clear up before leaving." ”

"No need, the wind and snow can't help me."

Zhao Ya said goodbye and left.

Yang Bin took a group of people to the door, and saw that Zhao Ya's figure had completely disappeared in the snowstorm, so Yang Bin said lightly.

"Let's all go back to our own business."

These disabled people, who were either deaf or dumb, silently turned away.

At the same time, Zhao Ya had also left Nandian Town, and after finding a secluded forest, he began to change his appearance.

Now, with the skillfulness of the technique, Zhao Ya's disguise speed has greatly accelerated, and in just a moment, he has changed into a middle-aged man with a turmeric complexion.

Then Zhao Ya hid his blade and entered Nandian Town again.

Mijia Old Store is a very inconspicuous inn, sandwiched between many richly decorated shops, which seems very out of place.

As early as when he entered Nandian Town just now, Zhao Ya noticed this Mijia Inn.

It's just that before he could go in, Yang Bin and others disrupted his plan.

After this disguise, Zhao Ya entered the inn very smoothly.

The inn was very small, and there were only two people in the hall, a shopkeeper and a guy.

When he saw Zhao Ya come in, the guy hurriedly greeted him and said with a courteous face: "This guest officer, may I ask if you are a tip or a hotel?" ”

"Stay in the hotel."

Saying that, Zhao Ya glanced around the inn, and asked pretending to be puzzled: "I see that this town is very prosperous, and many inns are full, why is your house so deserted?" Is it a black shop? ”

The guy couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "This uncle, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, we really don't have many guests, but isn't there no way." ”

"Oh? Why can't you say it can't be helped? Zhao Ya's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately asked.

But before the guy could speak, the shopkeeper behind the counter suddenly coughed.

"Xiao Er, when the guests come, why don't you go to the back to boil water and make tea."

The guy hurriedly answered, "Yes." ”

Then he smiled apologetically at Zhao Ya and left in a hurry.

Zhao Ya knew that there must be a reason for this, but the shopkeeper didn't want to say it.

He didn't continue to ask, found a clean table and sat down, and then began to talk to the shopkeeper with a match.

Soon, Zhao Ya knew some basic information.

For example, the shopkeeper's surname is Mi, named Mi Haichuan, and this inn is opened by him, so it is named Mijia Inn.

At the same time, this Mi Haichuan is not a local, but from other places.

The young man was also brought by him, a distant relative of his.

"It's hard enough for you to come out to do business in such cold weather." Mi Haichuan sighed at this time.

Zhao Ya also sighed, "Isn't there no way to support my family, if I had the ability of the rice shopkeeper like you, I would also be willing to open a small inn, and then hide at home and be the shopkeeper comfortably." ”

Unexpectedly, Mi Haichuan just shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Everyone has their own difficulties, you look at me very comfortable on the surface, but in fact, who knows my difficulties?" ”

Zhao Ya pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh? What's so hard about you? It's nothing more than that there are fewer customers, so you earn less. Seriously, your sign is too inconspicuous for the average person to notice. ”

"If I hadn't observed carefully, I guess I would have been so wrong, so if you want to make money, you still have to decorate it gorgeously."

Mi Haichuan sighed when he heard this, "I don't know about these things, but how can it be so simple, you don't know the doorway here, the water in this Nandian Town is very deep." ”

Zhao Ya's heart moved, and he was about to continue to ask, when the guy came to serve tea.

Mi Haichuan didn't talk about these anymore, but went to arrange a room for Zhao Ya.

The guy was about to leave after serving tea, but Zhao Ya stopped him.

"Stay man."

"What do you command?"

"I don't have any instructions, I just want to ask why this town store is so lively?"

"It's the first time the guest officer has come to Nandian!" The guy laughed.

"Well, it's the first time I've taken this trade route." Zhao Ya said.

"That's right, which caravan who often takes this trade route doesn't know Nandian Town, and only a novice like you will have this doubt."

Then the guy looked around and saw that Mi Haichuan hadn't come back yet, so he poked his head over and lowered his voice.

"You don't know, Nandian Town has a big background, and it's inconvenient for me to say what it is, but you just need to remember this."

"Once you're here, as long as you're willing to pay for it, you'll have everything."

"Oh? Is it so good? Zhao Ya was a little surprised.

"Okay?" The guy sneered when he heard this, "It does sound good, but this is all based on the pain of others, take our small inn as an example, we have to pay at least 30% of the profits every year." ”

"Why is that?"

"I don't know why, it's called management fees, but I haven't seen anyone manage it."

Thirty percent of the profit doesn't sound like much, but it's actually a terrifying number.

This is especially true for a small shop like Mijia Inn.

Zhao Ya finally understood why this inn was so dilapidated, paying so much money every year, even if he wanted to decorate it, he was powerless.

"But I see that the shops on the street are all gorgeously decorated, what is going on? Don't they have to pay? Zhao Ya asked.

"They really don't have to pay, because they are Uncle Yang's property."

Although the guy tried his best to hide it, when the three words Uncle Yang were mentioned, his face was still full of disdain.

Zhao Ya knew that he had finally asked the root of the question.

No need to ask, this Uncle Yang must be Yang Bin.

But just as Zhao Ya was about to ask what was going on, a group of people suddenly broke in outside the door.

The leader was missing an arm and his ears were half pulled away, but even so, he still looked arrogant.

As soon as he saw him, the man's face changed at that time, and he didn't dare to talk to Zhao Ya anymore, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"Master Hao, you're here!"

"Well, Yang Ye just spoke, and an important person has arrived today, so all the shops in the town have to be checked." Lian Hao said arrogantly.

"It's really hard work, you Hao, our Mijia Inn has always been law-abiding, and I guarantee that there will be no problems."

"Hmph, that's not something you can just say." Lian Hao sneered, and then raised his remaining hand and pointed at it.

"Check it out for me."

When the men who followed him heard this, they immediately rushed forward like wolves.

The man's face changed at that time.

Because if this group of people broke into the inn, it would not only disturb the guests, but also cause irreparable losses.

These people don't care about anything else, they call it inspection, and they won't let go of anything valuable that can be seen.

At this moment, Mi Haichuan, who was supposed to go to the back to prepare a room for Zhao Ya, hurriedly came.

When he saw Lian Hao, the most notorious number one thug in Nandian Town, came to the inn with a group of people, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

But now he can't hide, so he can only face it hard.

"Hao Ye, Hao Ye, don't you know what my Mi Family Inn looks like, there is really nothing to check, you and your brothers should have a cup of tea."

Saying that, Mi Haichuan quietly handed over a piece of silver.

But Lian Hao didn't even look at it, but said lightly: "I'm sorry for the shopkeeper, I can only offend today." ”

As he spoke, he was about to go inside.

Mi Haichuan didn't understand what it meant, knowing that this was too little, and he couldn't stop crying in his heart, so he could only endure the pain and take out another piece of silver.

"Master Hao, please let me go."

Lian Hao took it quietly, and after weighing it, he showed a satisfied smile.

"The shopkeeper Mi is an acquaintance, and I know that you won't cause trouble after so many years of relationship, but this time is extraordinary, Yang Ye personally told you to be prepared, so you'd better be careful these days, especially don't talk casually, do you understand?"

Mi Haichuan nodded again and again, patting his chest to ensure that he would never talk nonsense.

Lian Hao took his subordinates to be satisfied.

Mi Haichuan sent him out of the door, until he couldn't see anyone, then he breathed a sigh of relief, and then secretly took a sip.

Phew, the dog fights the human power.

But he only dared to shout these words twice in his heart, and he didn't even dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

After all, he didn't dare to guarantee that there was no Lian Hao's eyeliner among the pedestrians on the street.

It's been a wasted month again!

Mi Haichuan turned around and entered the house both distressed and helpless, wanting to tell the guest who just came today, and let him be careful these days.

Unexpectedly, there was no trace of Zhao Ya in the hall.

The guy said, "The guest officer just now said that the past few days have been too hard, so he went back to the guest room to rest." ”

Mi Haichuan didn't doubt him, sighed, and then turned his head to go about his own business.

At the same time, in the guest room on the second floor, Zhao Ya was meditating cross-legged, waiting for darkness to come.

He was very glad that he came to Nandian Town twice before and after, because only in this way could he more intuitively appreciate the difference between the two.

The first time Zhao Ya came as a disciple of Canglong Temple, all he felt at that time was the prosperity of Nandian Town and the kindness of Yang Bin and others.

But when I came in as an ordinary businessman this time, I saw a completely different picture.

For example, this Lian Hao.

Zhao Ya remembered very clearly that in that mansion at that time, this Lian Hao didn't even have the qualifications to stand in front of the crowd, and he had been standing behind the crowd.

And with a sincere smile on his face throughout the whole process, compared with the arrogance in the Mi Family Inn just now, it was like two people.

Especially when these people mention Yang Bin, they must call themselves masters, which reveals the clues inside.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya suddenly sighed.

Because of such an obvious thing, Zhao Ya didn't believe that the people sent by Canglong Temple before would not notice it.

Even if there are really disciples who are not deeply involved in the world, they will be deceived, but those old rivers and lakes can almost see the trickiness in it.

And I can find so many clues with just a little investigation, and it makes no sense that others can't do it.

This can only prove one point, that is, those people who were sent were either bought by Yang Bin or the forces behind him, or they sensed the danger and deliberately chose to ignore it.

But the more this is the case, the more interested Zhao Ya becomes.

Because he originally came to provoke trouble, when he was in Canglong Temple, Shen Yunshen explained to him that this time he didn't have to worry about the risk, just boldly investigate, and he and the Great Elder would be responsible for the accident.

With this commitment, of course Zhao Ya will not be afraid.

In the afternoon, the snow did not stop, but became more and more urgent.

Due to the bad weather, it was already completely dark before dinner.

Listening to the whistling wind outside the window, Zhao Ya slowly stood up, adjusted his qi and blood, adjusted his state to the best, and then burrowed into the sea of wind and snow like a swimming fish.

Sorry for the late update
