Today is a rainy day, and some low-pressure clouds are shrouded in the sky over Mingzhou City, which makes people's hearts seem to be covered with a layer of haze.

More and more officers and soldiers patrolled back and forth in the streets, and from time to time a few catchers with knives would pass by in front of the shops.

In the past few days, the atmosphere in Mingzhou City seems to have become more and more tense. Because I heard that two days ago, a dim sum shop in Dongshi was just smashed by two groups of troublemakers.

Jianghu people are looking for a treasure, and now everyone knows about it.

There are fewer pedestrians on the street, and the business in Qianjialou is naturally deserted. Zhang Susu's brows furrowed again, sighing every day, wherever the people of the straight rivers and lakes go, they will inevitably be harmed.

Although she knew that this was just her unintentional words, Li Si still fell silent when she heard this. Because after all, it was he who caused it. I have to admit that most things have two sides. Behind the seemingly chic comings and goings of the Jianghu people, the troubles left behind usually have to be paid by the ordinary people. When the road is uneven, it is a killing, and it doesn't care which store it will smash or which signboard it will break.

The word "rivers and lakes" is always very complicated, so there are those who love it and those who hate it.

Li Si couldn't say it clearly, so he never said it, he just hoped that he wouldn't make too many mistakes, so that he would come innocently and go innocently.

But in this world, who can be absolutely innocent. If it is a person, entanglement and bonding are indispensable.

Why don't you wait for the next time you drink Meng Po soup, and then ask Meng Po for one more bowl, so that you can forget it cleanly, and it will be convenient to walk briskly in the next life. It's not like this life, living a messy life, not knowing whether it's a person or a ghost.

While thinking about how to ask Meng Po for an extra bowl of soup, Li Si put on a dress for Xiao He, who was lying on the edge of the table and asleep.

This kid is still young after all, and the busyness of some time ago should have exhausted him. Now it's rare to be able to rest for a while, and Li Si doesn't want to quarrel with him.

Lao Luo also seemed to notice this, and lowered the sound of the abacus a little. However, there are very few accounts today, and it should have only been calculated for a while, and he had already finished all the accounts, and read a book with him.

Xiao Cao and Banjuan sat in the corner and played with stones, which is the kind of game in which five stones are scattered on the table, and then one is selected as a thrower to throw into the air, and then the other stones on the ground are grabbed by the hands of the thrower, and finally the falling thrower is catched.

The bet is a small half bag of peanuts, listening to the sound of them pressing, I think it is a stalemate.

I don't know how a person like Half Immortal, who has lived for hundreds of years, plays such a small game with such interest.

Anyway, Li Si is not interested in playing at this time, he is still worried about the treasure.

Xiao Muqiu said that he would contact him, but until now, Li Si has not received any news from this person.

Could it be that this guy sensed that something was wrong and ran away?

Secretly made some conjectures, Li Si felt that this situation was not impossible. Xiao Muqiu's unrighteousness, and it is not the first time he has been taught.

It seems that I can only rely on myself. Adhering to the psychology that it is better to seek others than to seek oneself, Li Si began to think about ways to deal with those Jianghu people.

However, at this moment, a chaotic sound suddenly came from outside the door.

It turned out that there was a group of Jianghu people carrying swords and hats, braving the rain from the corner of the street.

Their footsteps trampled on the stagnant water in the street, causing the reflections in the water to become muddy.

In the chaotic sound of rain, they walked straight into the door of Qianjialou.

The shop was quiet for a while, and when a drop of rain fell on the ground, the leading man looked around the hall and said.

"Are you still in business, we want to stay in the hotel. ”

"Do, do. Zhang Susu came back to his senses, stood up from the table a little nervously, and waved his hand at the half-cut immortal.

"Lao He, don't greet guests yet?"

"Oh, good. Banjuan immediately put down the stone in his hand, walked in front of the people in the rivers and lakes, bowed down and asked tentatively.

"The guest officer, shall I show you the house first?"

"No need. The man in the lead lowered his head slightly, held the horizontal knife in his hand, and glanced at the people behind him and said.

"We all have as many rooms as you have left. ”

There were about a few dozen people behind him, enough to fill the rest of the empty room, and maybe even a little cramped.

Banjuxian was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the man in front of him, nodded, and showed the most common smile on the face of a shopkeeper.

"That's a good feeling, please come with me. ”

As he spoke, he turned sideways and made a gesture of please upstairs.

"Hmm. The man replied in a dull voice, which made the atmosphere in the store even more low, and then led a group of people and followed the half-immortal upstairs.

Downstairs, Zhang Susu's face looked a little pale.

She actually didn't want to do business with these people, because they all looked like they were all vicious. She was worried that if one of them was not taken care of, her shop would be smashed.

But the other party had swords and weapons in his hands, which made her dare not lie to them and say that they were full, so she could only obediently welcome them in.

I hope it's better not to lure the wolf into the house.

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhang Susu glanced left and right, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he came to Li Si's side and asked cautiously.

"Little Four, you have walked through the rivers and lakes, you should know some martial arts. If those people are making trouble in the store, how many can you hit?"

People have just moved in, and you are starting to think about beating people?

Li Si glanced at Zhang Susu helplessly, thought for a while, spread out a palm and said.

"This number. ”

Five?

Looking at Li Si's outstretched palm, Zhang Susu subconsciously associated. Five is fine, at least you can keep something.

Unexpectedly, this little four, who usually looks weak and weak, is so powerful that he can beat five strong men.

Thinking like this, Zhang Susu looked at Li Si's eyes and became more and more satisfied, only feeling that it was a wise decision to recruit Li Si into the store against public opinion before.

However, in fact, the amount Li Si said meant that he wanted to advance his salary of fifty wen to buy clothes.

His previous clothes were torn through a hole, and he couldn't wear them anymore. After that, he has to deal with the affairs of the Jianghu people, and he can't wear the clothes he wears now.

However, what Li Si and Zhang Susu didn't expect was that this matter didn't end there.

In the following period of time, almost every half of the time of the incense stick, a wave of Jianghu people would come to the store to book a room. If you can't book a room, you can book a corridor, and if you can't book a corridor, you can book a floor.

In short, as long as it is a place where people can sit, it is all booked by these Jianghu people.

At night, the inside and outside of the Qianjia building were already full of people from the rivers and lakes, some sitting among the tables and chairs, some sitting in the corridors, and even those sitting on the stairs.

And those Jianghu people who came late and couldn't even book a floor sat outside the store, enclosing the whole street three times inside and out.

Li Si hid and covered his face with a cloth, because he saw a few acquaintances among these Jianghu people, so he didn't want to reveal his identity.

As for why these Jianghu people came, he didn't know, he just had a vague feeling.

This matter may be related to Xiao Muqiu.
