The largest inn in Chang'an is on Yong'an Street, and before dawn, someone knocked on the door.

Xiao Er, who lives at the door, doesn't want to pick up customers. But the constant knocking on the door completely dispelled the drowsiness. He got up impatiently and opened the door.

At the door of the store was yesterday's boy, his long black hair loosely curled.

Under the sword-like eyebrows, there are a pair of delicate eyes. The only thing that didn't match his appearance was his shabby cloth clothes.

"Fill me with a pot of good wine," he said after a moment's thought, and sat down at the table at the door: "Bring another bowl of wine!"

He took out the gourd flask tied around his waist and handed it to Xiao Er. The flask is obviously some years old, and it is tightly wrapped in hemp rope, through which you can faintly see the dragon carving on the wall of the flask.

Xiao Er was naturally a little impatient, but still took the wine jug in the young man's hand with a smiling face. Turned around and walked to the wine jar at the door, and picked up the bamboo grapes for wine. He thought in pieces, as a way to vent his resentment about getting up early.

The boy naturally didn't have time to listen to his complaints, so he pinned the flask full of wine to his waist again, raised the bowl on the table and drank it in one gulp.

He put thirty cents on the table and called Xiao Er. Xiao Er was overjoyed, and the extra twenty dollars were enough for him to go to the casino to play a few times.

The boy walked out of the hotel, turned into the alley next to the hotel, and crossed a few streets to see a smoky place. The singing and dancing in the building is leveled, the cigarette smoke is swirling, giving people a feeling of being real and illusory, and there are three words of drunken green building as embellishment. Red silk surrounds it. In this kind of land of fireworks, it is difficult to find a trace of true love.

The pawnshop opposite the green building is where the boy goes. There is a gilded plaque on the door of the mahogany, and the four big characters of "Yongan Pawnshop" are written on it.

It's early and it doesn't seem to be open. At the door, a few plainly dressed handymen were cleaning before opening the door.

There is an unwritten rule in the rivers and lakes that those who do pawnshop business must clean up the dust in front of the door early in the morning every day, which is called gathering wealth.

At this time, a basin of water spilled out of the house and sprinkled on the road in front of the pawnshop, and the rivers and lakes called paving the road to welcome guests.

"Become a shopkeeper!" exclaimed the young man when he saw the man splashing water at the door.

The person at the door was dressed in a brown satin coat, slightly chubby, wearing a black melon skin hat, and looking slightly rich. He glanced at the young man and told the handyman to prepare to open the door to welcome the guests.

Then he walked up to the boy and said, "Come with me." ”

Walking in, the store is not too big. The exterior of the store is not overly decorated, and when you walk inside, you feel completely different from the outside. Facing the door is a wooden screen more than two meters high, behind which are some bottles and cans carved with dragons and phoenixes. These are some of the vulgar goods. For decorative purposes only, the most valuable things in the pawnshop will not be displayed on the bright side.

Naturally, pawnshop owners will set up a mechanism in the reception room to keep their favorite high-priced items in it.

It was obviously not the first time Yuan Feng had been here, and he knew everything about it well. He followed the shopkeeper through the main hall and to the side room. After repeatedly confirming that there was no one, the shopkeeper locked the door of the house.

There is a sandalwood bookshelf in the house, and there is an old table of eight immortals, on the table of eight immortals, there is a crystal clear blue and white porcelain bowl, and there are two koi fish playing in it.

There are two stone lions on the top of the bookshelf that look particularly chic, and the shopkeeper walks over and knocks three times on the top of the two stone lions' heads, and the whole bookcase is slowly turned over, and the interior is actually a secret room. This is a mechanism that can only be devised by the most clever Yanshi.

Yuan Feng followed the shopkeeper to the secret room. There was nothing in the chamber, and the door to the chamber closed slowly.

"Yu Changye has been killed by me in the Panyang Ancient Road," Yuan Feng took out the reward order and threw it to the shopkeeper Cheng.

In fact, there is a legitimate pawn business here. Secretly, it's a gathering place for killers. There are always some unclean things that need to be done, and this cannot be known to the government. Therefore, this kind of killer gathering place must be very hidden.

The client and the trustee are not allowed to meet, this is the rule. And through the "turn", that is, people like the shopkeeper act as intermediaries. to convey the client's tasks and pay the remuneration.

"What proof is there that he is dead?" Shopkeeper Yu stared at Yuan Feng, put away his easy-going face, and instead glanced at Yuan Feng with a sharp look.
