Chapter 352: Ruthless
After leaving the alley, Liu Yuan stood at the entrance of the alley and did not leave immediately, but looked left and right, and walked over after finding a grocery store.
"Dustpan brooms, bamboo strips and wooden strips are all available, although the guest officer looks, in this county town, let's not say that it is the best, it is also very applicable. ”
Xu heard the footsteps, and the shopkeeper who was sitting on the wooden chair behind the counter walked out with a smile, pointing to Liu Yuan and pointing to the things beside him.
"Hehe, I have enough things at home, I came to ask the shopkeeper about someone. Liu Yuan walked a little closer and said with a smile.
However, as soon as he heard that the other party was not here to buy something, but to inquire about someone, the shopkeeper's face immediately turned flat, and he walked to the counter and buried his head in the abacus, as if he had given an eviction order, and said nonchalantly: "Is it the tolerance of the yamen?"
"No, I just asked a friend who used to live in the neighborhood. Liu Yuan stood outside the counter and continued.
In Liu Yuan's opinion, since Wang Junya has lived here for a while, either because of his withdrawn personality or because of some other special reason, the people in the alley are reluctant to talk about him, so he must live, and these rice shops and grocery stores nearby should have dealings with him.
It's a pity that the other party is still burying his head in his own business, the abacus snapped, and he said again without raising his head: "Since you are not from the Yamen, then please leave Brother Tai, don't delay doing business below." After speaking, he didn't look at Liu Yuan.
But there was a crisp crackling sound, and Liu Yuan slapped something in front of the shopkeeper with four fingers down, and then gradually took his hand away, revealing a piece of shiny broken silver.
The latter instantly came to his senses, and raised his head violently, Liu Yuan looked at his current performance, squinted his eyes and said, "Can you say it now?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you ask. The shopkeeper said, stretched out his hand to take the silver on the table, but was held down by Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan said without changing his face: "Hehe, don't worry, you tell me first." ”
After that, Liu Yuan took out the portrait of Wang Junya from his arms, handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "Let's see if you know it, this person is called Wang Junya." ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper picked up the portrait at hand, and after reversing in a direction, he frowned and looked at it carefully, looking at his meditative appearance, and it was also difficult for the silver.
"This person, I may know, that is" He is indeed sure that he has seen it, but he opened this shop, and he came up day by day, and he didn't know how many people he wanted to meet, how could he be impressed by everyone.
Besides, this person is not a big customer, and he is not a beauty.
"What's that?" Liu Yuan then asked.
"That's it, I really can't remember what is special about him, I don't know what you want to ask, brother?" The shopkeeper subconsciously glanced at the silver, and then looked up at Liu Yuandao.
"If you think about it, now that he doesn't live here, where is he going? Liu Yuan said and pushed the silver forward again.
Goo Dong swallowed his saliva, the shopkeeper's hands pinched the portrait and looked at it carefully again, a pair of frowns were about to be connected, and then suddenly said as if a flash of inspiration: "Ah, I remembered." ”
Liu Yuan's eyes lit up and said, "Say." ”
"This person should have some family background, but he is a good gambler, and most of the money is smashed into the casino, so he is relatively poor, and often comes to me to buy some cheap goods, of course, I don't mean that my cheap goods here are not good, and the quality is not said, and"
I don't know if it's an old problem, but the shopkeeper went astray while talking. While making Liu Yuan cry and laugh, he directly interrupted: "Pick up the key points." ”
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, but some time ago, the man seemed to suddenly become rich, eating and drinking in the shops and restaurants around and buying a lot of things, thinking that he had made a big windfall, I think too, most of the time he won in the casino. ”
"But speaking of which, nine out of ten bets are lost, how can you really let those gamblers win, I heard that there were people who won a lot of money before, and what happened, when they went out, they were killed."
In the shop behind him, the shopkeeper was still chattering, Liu Yuan couldn't listen anymore and walked out after leaving the silver, I didn't see it before, this person is still a chatterbox, once it is opened, it can't be contained.
Throwing out a tael of silver, he finally asked for something, but there were still a lot of things he didn't understand, but it was estimated that the information he got from other places was similar, so in the end, Liu Yuan could only leave with doubts.
Let's go to the tooth shop today, sit under the pergola, drink herbal tea for a while, and feel refreshed.
Now that the weather is in spring, the sun is hot, and it is more comfortable to drink herbal tea under the pergola, although the taste is not good. Liu Yuan was thinking like this in his heart, but he heard a heavy bang in his ears.
"What's going on?" the three of them put down the bowl and looked at each other, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
Looking for the sound, I saw the noble son Luo Mingda falling at the door of the store in the shape of a dog gnawing.
It turned out to be Luo Mingda? What's going on? This doubt appeared in his heart, which Liu Yuan never expected, and then Liu Yuan and several people followed up because they were curious, intending to watch the excitement.
Just look at this time, I'm afraid it's not a light fall, and after a while, Luo Mingda is writhing on the ground, unable to get up for a long time, and can't stop moaning and wailing in his mouth.
It seems that he has been pampered since he was a child, and he has not suffered any injuries, but at this time he was tossing and turning in pain, and after a while, he saw a few dog legs as if they were overly frightened, running out of the store, and helping Luo Mingda up from the ground on the left and right.
The crowd gathered around to see more and more, and a few doglegs ran up to drive the crowd away.
"Let's go, look at what's going on, get out, go back. ”
At this time, the shopkeeper who was still in the store and the shopkeeper were both uneasy, especially the former who was frightened.
I couldn't help but think back to the previous situation in the store, and I was sweating all the time on my back.
said that before, because he couldn't stand the meaning of Luo Mingda, the son of the county guard, the shopkeeper couldn't do anything, and then walked up to the second floor step by step.
There are several private rooms on the second floor, and the shopkeeper has been turning around in front of the private room for a long time, and there are a lot of people in several rooms, some of which are also old customers, or they are also some people with heads and faces, and some people with status.
After weighing for a while, the shopkeeper knocked on the door of the second room on the left, and a slightly flat male voice sounded from inside the door: "Who?"
The man in the room was dressed in black clothes, with a tight face and black hair, but judging from his demeanor, he should not be young.
is eating the food on the table very elegantly, and it is natural to be disturbed by others.
"It's the shopkeeper of my shop, and I'll discuss it with you if I have something. The man outside responded.
"Come in. ”
"Huh. Hearing this, the shopkeeper pushed the door and walked in, but no one made any detours, and said directly: "That, Luo Mingda's son came and said that he wanted a private room, but now the private room is full, and I hope customers can move to the lobby to eat."
The more he said the end, the more embarrassed the shopkeeper's face became, and his voice became quieter, what is this called, since the opening of the store, he has never done this kind of thing to drive customers out.
On the other hand, the man who was dining, when he heard such words, did not react excessively, was not ashamed or angry, his face was still calm, and he picked up a rag at hand to wipe his hands briefly.
The other party's reaction also relaxed the tension in the shopkeeper's heart a lot, and then continued: "That, the customer may not know, that Luo Mingda is the son of the county guard, and the small shop really can't afford to provoke, I'm afraid that even the guests are better to avoid the edge for the time being." ”
While telling the background of Luo Minda, the shopkeeper persuaded him, and then he didn't forget to add: "Of course, this is all a disaster, as compensation to the customer, you are free of charge before the meal today, I hope you will understand one or two, and I am grateful." ”
Finally, he remembered the compensation, and after speaking, the shopkeeper bowed deeply to the man.
After saying this, quietly waiting for the other party's reaction, the shopkeeper thinks that he has already understood the emotion and reason, the pros and cons have been analyzed, everything is in place, and the guest should make the most correct choice.
After the man finished wiping his hands, he changed to a white square cloth and wiped his mouth.
Some elegant movements and temperament made the shopkeeper's heart have a bad premonition, and at this time he found that this person seemed to have a bit of a background, and he couldn't help but feel a little more bitter in his heart, don't fight.
Even if you think about it, it's impossible to fight, in the realm of Shangdang County, anyone who can break his wrist with that gentleman can count them on one hand.
didn't let the shopkeeper wait too long, after everything was done, the man stood up and showed a smile to the shopkeeper and said, "It's not in the way, anyway, I've already eaten, let's go, I'll go out with you, by the way, I also want to meet that Luo Gongzi." ”
There is no need to be embarrassed to open a store, others are just ordinary people of the Great Wei Dynasty.
"Okay, okay. The shopkeeper nodded, led the man downstairs, and at the same time did not forget to say: "I'm really sorry to disturb the guests to eat, but today's account is still free." ”
The man was noncommittal about what was free, it was only a few dollars, and it didn't matter, but he asked as if he had just remembered something: "By the way, what did you just say about that Luo, whose son is here?" ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but smile bitterly, did the other party hear his bitter words before, and said: "Luo Mingda, he is the son of our county guard, and I hope that the guest officer will not be impulsive and make mistakes." ”
"Oh, the county guard. The man nodded and whispered, "It's just five grades." ”
I think that at the beginning, from the court's Zhu Zi first-class masters, down to the major masters in the rivers and lakes, who heard their names was not frightened to avoid snakes and scorpions.
Now he's just the son of a county guard, and he can't afford to make a joke.
While the two of them were talking, they walked to the bottom of the stairs, and watched the shopkeeper walk down, with a person behind him, and Luo Mingda knew that it was done.
At home, he is considered to be high or low, so he enjoys this feeling of being overpowered.
Even if the family had more advice to Rominda, he couldn't stand his mother's doting on him, so some small things were left to his behalf, which gradually became his character today.
"Yo, you're the only one in the private room. Luo Mingda stepped forward with a smile on his face, and said: "Yes, yes, I still know the current affairs, okay, hurry up." ”
After speaking, Luo Mingda was about to pat the cheek of the man in front of him, and his movements were extremely arrogant.
However, before Luo Mingda's hand slapped the man's face, the latter laughed, and no one could see how he moved, but he saw that the man had already grabbed Luo Mingda's claws, a little bit of strength.
The sound of clicking sounded, and the painful latter gasped, unable to speak, his face was distorted, and he had already seen a cold sweat on his forehead in a few moments.
As if the other party was very good at this, it was easy to catch the sore spot of Luo Minda's joint.
"Bastard, do you know who you're facing in front of you?! Why don't you let go quickly, Luo Gongzi should consider leaving you a whole corpse. "The master was speechless, and when he was a dog, he naturally wanted to help shout.
"Brute, let go. At this time, it was a good time to be courteous, and the other dogleg immediately rushed forward, grabbed the man's arm, and beat him deadly, but unfortunately it was useless at all, and the other party did not move.
However, in the next moment, a gust of wind blew through and sprayed vigorously, and Luo Mingda became the dog eating in front of the door now.
The shopkeeper stood behind the man, his eyes as big as a brass bell, as if he was demented, his lips trembled for a long time and he couldn't speak, he only knew that the man was in trouble.
He also thought that the other party had some background, but he never thought that he was a reckless man, this matter was not handled well, and the county guard was angry, and his small shop would definitely be lost.
After thinking about it, the man in front of him had already walked out
A bunch of dog legs surrounded Luo Mingda, but there was no way, as long as Luo Mingda moved, the other party would cry out in pain, so that they didn't know how to start.
"The untouchables raised by the son of a bitch, I want him to let his whole family die well" Luo Mingda pinched his right hand with his left hand, his face was swollen and red with pain, and he didn't forget to scold in his mouth, but his voice was very small.
"Obediently, who did he provoke. Liu Yuan looked at it with interest, and sighed with emotion.
"Who knows, it's called walking by the river without getting your shoes wet. Qin Keyi looked very happy, and he didn't know if he had some grievances with this Luo Gongzi.
A group of onlookers were talking quietly when they saw a man walk out of the door.
The moment he saw the man's face clearly, Liu Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he pulled up Qin Keyi and Pei Jiao and turned around and walked out of the crowd, he never thought to see him here!
