"Don't think about it, the master is so powerful, it's fine. I'll go make dinner, you go pour some water. ”

"Okay."

Then the girl got up and went to the well to fetch water, and poured it little by little on the roots of the peach tree.

Gu Jiu set off and quietly followed the man, following all the way, only to see that the other party had arrived...... Thatched house!

Aren't you going to make dinner?

The person entered the thatched house, Gu Jiu waited for a few breaths, and when he saw that there was no movement, he quietly leaned closer to listen, and then slowly poked his head out.

！！！

What about people? Is there a secret passage down here?

Enduring the sour smell that could not be described around him, Gu Jiu squatted down to inspect the stone slabs on the ground one by one, and successfully found the entrance after about three minutes.

I thought that the smell would dissipate after going down, but I didn't expect it to become stronger.

Although this smell is different from the smell of corpses, it is more disgusting than corpse odors. It's no wonder that the county has not found out, who wants to search carefully in this broken land.

Unlike the kitchen tunnel, this one is deeper. Gu Jiu raised his head and looked up along the ladder, estimating the depth of at least ten meters.

After walking thirty meters, a fork appeared, and it is worth mentioning that wooden doors were also installed at these two forks.

Gu Jiu stepped forward to take a closer sniff and found that the smell on one of the doors was lighter.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally chose the lighter side of the flavor.

Slowly opened a gap, and after seeing that there was no situation, Gu Jiu quickly walked in. There was still a long passage behind the door, and I walked another thirty meters to the next door.

After concocting it in the same way, Gu Jiu noticed that this was a storage room, and potatoes and cabbage were piled up on the ground. By the time we got here, the pungent smell had dissipated most of it.

Gu Jiugang wanted to pull and pull to see if there was anything hidden in the cabbage, but suddenly there was a sound of small footsteps outside, the sound was small but it could startle a thousand waves in this silent underground.

Where to hide?

There's no way to hide anyone. Forget it, it's better to strike first!

The door is not connected to the top of the dark passage, there is a distance of thirty or forty centimeters in the middle, Gu Jiu took out a dagger from the space, his legs were forced, and the next second the whole person was attached to the wall.

The door was opened from the outside in, and the people outside were very familiar with this place, and the moment they opened the door, their eyes fell on the cabbage they were about to take.

Seeing the opportunity, Gu Jiu came down from above, drew a dagger, and stabbed it fatally.

As the corpse fell, the things that were originally in his hands rolled off - a piece of meat of about a pound.

After searching for the corpse and the dish to no avail, Gu Jiu turned back to the fork and pushed open another door.

After a few steps, the unpleasant smell became more and more obvious.

Gu Jiu pinched his nose and couldn't help but scold: How long have you had to buy this meat, it can stink like this!

Finally came to the end, Gu Jiu put his nose against the fabric at his wrist, took a deep breath with the faint incense, and pushed open the door in front of him with a bang.

After pushing it away, Gu Jiu was directly stunned, and the hand that was originally covering his nose was also put down.

She originally thought that this was a place where the Lu family did not want to go out frequently to store pork, but she didn't expect it to be a place to dispose of corpses.

A house full of broken arms and minced meat, not a single place is the normal color of the land.

Gu Jiu stood for a moment and closed the door.

Returning the same way, a slight grumbling voice came from the stone slab that had just opened the exit.

"You're counted, I thought something had happened to you. By the way, why are you so slow this time? ”

The moment the slate opened, the girl turned her head in pretending to be arrogant. didn't wait for a reply, and was surprised that the moment he turned around, his neck was cut by a dagger.

The girl's eyes widened in disbelief.

Gu Jiu threw the corpse into the secret passage with an expressionless face, and the woman with the same body should be punished for helping and abusing her like this.

After going back, Gu Jiu saw the peach tree again.

Two steps and three spans.

Could it be that something is buried under this peach tree?

Gu Jiu walked to the middle of the peach tree, followed two steps and three steps, and planned to try in either direction.

Strange, I dug around, why is there nothing? Didn't dig deep enough?

Thinking like this, Gu Jiu picked up the shovel and continued to dig down thirty centimeters, and when he dug the fourth pit, he really dug something.

Gu Jiu dragged down the bag, roughly determined the size and direction of the bag, and dug it out in one go.

The black bag has been broken in a few places.

Untie the rope from the bag, open it, and you will be greeted by a dozen small packages. Picking up one and bypassing the layers of plain yarn, Gu Jiu saw the hairpin hidden in it that was flowing gold and red, which looked like it was used for a big wedding from the outside.

It's not easy to sell, and I don't know if I can dig up the jewelry on it and sell it separately.

Gu Jiu put the hairpin aside and continued to unpack the other packages.

Among the sixteen packages, seven pieces of jewelry, three calligraphy and paintings, one piece of jade pendant, and the rest are some antiques that Gu Jiu can't name.

How do you sell this?

Alas! Let's take it back first.

"Should this thing be cut in half with me?"

When Gu Jiu was bending down to clean up, Shao Baisi suddenly fell on the eaves.

"Eight hundred taels, all yours."

"Deal." Shao Baisi squatted down and picked up a bottle with a small pointed mouth, looked at it, and decisively agreed.

Gu Jiu: !! Less.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the task, please keep up the good work."

As soon as Shao Baiji's box touched the floor, the sound of the system immediately rang out.

"Miss Jiu, everything is here."

Inside the inn, four people came in carrying a large box and said.

Gu Jiu nodded and immediately put things into the space after sending people away.

It's not a long-term solution to buy outside food in the guest house all the time, and you still have to go to see if there is a suitable small yard in two days.

……

"Xiao Jiu, do you think this plaque looks good?"

The two stood in front of the shop, and Suzu asked, pointing to the plaque surrounded by a red cloth.

Yangwen Zhai.

Gu Jiu silently chewed these three words and nodded.

The merchants of Yuncheng think that there is no trouble, no red, no luck, so the new shop is opened, and the big red happy words and happy couplets must be posted at the door, and firecrackers, congratulatory couplets, beggars, and plaques are hung to be auspicious.

Therefore, when I saw that Yangwenzhai had signs of opening today, many beggars gathered on both sides of the shop early.

Gu Jiu looked at the more and more people gathering with the sound of the gong of "New Shop Opening", and her heart also burned with a little excitement, it was the first time for her to participate in this kind of thing in person.

As for why it was the first time, it was because the "Jiuyang Bookstore" did not have this activity at all, and even now there is no plaque, only a flag. It's not that she doesn't want to do it, it's just that opening in that place itself means bad luck, and people think it's weird to get it.

"Come, give, give, our store is newly opened, thank you for coming!"

The guy at the shop walked up to the beggar with the copper coins and food he had prepared in advance, and said as he gave it.

"Welcome, welcome, buy one get one free for all books today!"

Under the guidance of Gu Jiu and Ling Yang, more and more people walked in, and this is the good start that Yuncheng pays attention to.

As time passed, more and more people entered the shop, and when the shop was full, Wang Guan appeared outside the shop with people.

"Yang Wenzhai."

"The shop that was deceived by the pit is also called this name?"

"You guys should disperse immediately, after all, it is the Wang family that they have offended!"

As soon as these words came out, the customers in the shop immediately became restless, and the new store was smashed by many people, and the more or less businessmen would have a bad deal. Can...... But this one, everyone sent someone to smash a nameless girl's shop, but it was still a vote.

Just now, this person also said that this shop was abducted and deceived, could it be...... One of these two little girls is the concubine raised by the master of the Wang family outside?

Hey, if that's the case, they'll have to leave early. It's not easy to mix.

Gu Jiu saw everyone's concerns, took the first step to block everyone's way, and took out the contract that had been copied in advance from his arms.

"My shop is a regular procedure, and the causes and consequences, and transaction details are clearly written in black and white, so how can I talk about cheating?"

"Wang Guan, if you think that your village suffered a loss at that time, you can go to the village chief, I have no opinion; But if you slander, I will definitely drag you to the official! ”

Gu Jiu's voice fell, and Ling Yang continued: "I have seen the steward of the Wang family, if we really did something sorry for the Wang family, why didn't he come forward?" ”

Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, and then retorted: "You also know that you are from the village below, do you know how much silver this shop has to spend to rent?" ”

The prince paused, then smiled smugly and mockingly.

"Don't think I don't know what your status is at home, let alone give you money, even half of the nest can't give you alms! If you don't rely on the pit to be abducted, can you have money to open a shop? ”

Wang Guan's words were originally intended to make everyone feel that Gu Jiu was lying, so that everyone could leave in a bad mood.

Once a large number of people are gone, no matter what the facts are, the shop will be labeled badly. And once this label is hung up, it will take some effort and time to erase it, so this is why so many people like to make trouble when the opposite home opens.

But I didn't expect it to backfire.

Someone coming to make trouble will inevitably reduce the flow of customers, after all, no one knows whether the other side is a madman or a dog, and if you bite yourself, it will be more than worth the loss.

However, Wang Guan's words made a few people who were just about to leave stop, and looked at Gu Jiu with a little pity.

Even half a nest is impossible to give to you......

Alas, another miserable child. Forget it, if the silver is not clean, it will not be clean, alas.

"You wouldn't know that the bookstore across from the Red Incense Pavilion was mine, would you? The income of that shop has been good, and I just did the magistrate a great favor, and the lord rewarded me with a large sum of silver. Naturally, I have enough money to rent here! ”

"But you, what evidence do you have to prove that I was cheated and deceived?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone had a rough idea in their hearts. There is no shortage of such excitement in Cloud City, and if you see too much, you will be able to guess eight or nine.

Feeling the suspicion around him, and even the contemptuous gazes of some individuals, Wang Guan was not worried at all, and his expression was calm, as if he had expected it.
