Chapter 149: Asking for Money
The South Wall Tavern is the most well-known drinking place in Biyu South City, the shopkeeper Lu Qiying has been in business for many years, and after saving more silver, he began to help others save money and established an underground money village without a brand.
Those who save money only believe in the richer, and the shopkeeper Lu has no flaws in this regard, and the expensive and rare wines in his tavern are the best guarantee.
If you have money, you will be powerful, and the shopkeeper Lu has the tacit approval of both Jinpeng Fort and the Meng family, and he has dozens of first-class swordsmen under his command, most of these swordsmen were selected for him by the iron cripple before his death, and all of them are worth the money.
So, for many years, this was the first time someone had broken into a tavern with a sword.
Two fat men, one tall and one short, tried to untie the weapons of the descendants, but the young man only held the knife for a moment, and the two gave up their efforts and immediately went in to find the shopkeeper.
For the gatekeeper, the important thing is not the level of martial arts, but the quality of eyesight, the two fat men saw the murderous spirit and will of the young man, "This person needs to be taken seriously", they told the shopkeeper Lu.
So Shopkeeper Lu temporarily endured the young man's rude behavior and invited him to a table in the corner, if there were no special guests, this was the old position of Shopkeeper Lu, not far from where Tie Hanfeng often sits.
Shopkeeper Lu first glanced up at Xu Xiaoyi behind Huan Nu, "What are you doing here?"
Xu Xiaoyi wished that he was invisible, or that he could get into the cracks of the bricks, "Hehe, I'm ...... Hey. ”
"He's my servant, I think Tie Hanfeng should have told you. Gu Shenwei spoke, but his hand still didn't leave the hilt, which made him look a little nervous.
Shopkeeper Lu sneered, it turned out that this kid came to seize the brothel, "Maybe I said, I don't have any impression, in the past, it was a lame man who kept the money here, and now that he is dead, I will take over the money for him." ”
"From today onwards, I will collect the money myself, and the money that the Xu family sisters and brothers paid in the past will also be taken away. ”
Shopkeeper Lu looked at the young man, and after a while, said, "A total of seven thousand nine hundred taels, you can take it, we don't owe it." ”
"And the money that Tie Hanfeng has kept with you over the years, and the ten truckloads of goods. ”
Shopkeeper Lu squinted his eyes and tapped his fingers on the tabletop, "You killed the iron cripple?"
The boy was silent.
"Then you're also an official killer?"
Gu Shenwei took out the waist card with the word "absolute" and shook it.
Shopkeeper Lu's eyes widened slightly, he hadn't seen him for a few days, this young man had really become a killer, he still remembered the way Huan Nu sat at the table staring at the red wine in a daze, and he also remembered the gloomy and indifferent face when Tie Hanfeng introduced him, how could he not connect with the aggressive young man in front of him.
"Which young master?"
"Ten Sons. ”
"Huh. Shopkeeper Lu couldn't help laughing, his heart was suddenly steady, the title of killer who slapped the tomboy's sycophant, what is terrible, I'm afraid that even the killer is drunk and killed, and it is not unusual for that lame man to die on wine.
"I haven't seen the silver yet. Gu Shenwei didn't think there was anything ridiculous, and still insisted on asking for money.
Shopkeeper Lu leaned forward slightly, and advised the young man in a heart-to-heart tone, "You can't have such a big appetite at the beginning, didn't Tie Hanfeng teach you this? You killed him, in the stone castle, this may mean that you can inherit everything from the lame, but here, in Nancheng, in the entire Western Regions, the rules are different, you can't take away the things of the people you killed." The brothel is yours and nothing else. Listen to me, boy, the killer is far from the best character in the stone castle, and you still have a long way to go. ”
Draw the knife, drop, put it away.
Shopkeeper Lu knows martial arts, he is not a master, but he is not a mediocre person, but he looked at the severed finger on the table, and he didn't understand what was going on for a long time.
The shopkeeper Lu screamed, and seven or eight swordsmen jumped out at the same time, drawing their knives and attacking the two teenagers who came to stir up trouble.
Xu Xiaoyi immediately squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and didn't see anything, only heard the muffled sound of someone falling, no sound of weapons colliding, and no shouting.
Soon, the surroundings returned to calm, Xu Xiaoyi let go of his hand and raised his head, and saw three swordsmen lying around, the wounds were all on the neck, and the little blood that flowed out seemed to be not enough to feed the mosquitoes, but they were all dead, and the gloomy eyes proved everything.
Xu Xiaoyi was so stunned that he forgot to stand up.
The few remaining swordsmen were on the move, working for money, not wanting to lose their lives.
Shopkeeper Lu covered his injured fingers, looking incredulous, what kind of backer this kid was, he dared to act unscrupulously, and he killed people when he did it.
"Let's go to Jinpeng Fort to find Dubu Wang to judge!" "Shopkeeper Lu was a little angry.
"I'm just doing things according to the rules of the Stone Castle. Gu Shenwei reminded the other party that it was according to the tradition of Jinpeng Castle that he had the right to inherit everything from his master.
His fingers were still bleeding, and the shopkeeper Lu couldn't help but tremble all over, but he quickly calmed down and sat back in his chair, and a neat guy came over to bandage his wounds.
"We should have a good talk. Shopkeeper Lu said, his expression was as usual, not far away and not close, as if the situation was under his control, but his face was still a little pale, he underestimated the young man, this was a major mistake, he had to make up for it as soon as possible.
So, the old man and the young "talked" seriously, and the man sent Tie Hanfeng the voucher for saving money, and the iron cripple did not want valuables such as jewelry, all of which were converted into silver taels, and his own accumulation over the years plus the harvest week bag, a total of 316,000 taels of silver were saved.
"Do you want to change it to your name?"
"No, as long as you know that Tie Hanfeng's stuff is mine. ”
Shopkeeper Lu knew, and his heart hurt very much, with more than 300,000 taels of silver, he could make a lot of money, but then the young man surprised him again.
"The money is still with you. ”
In the blink of an eye, the young man was no longer a "snatcher", but became a big patron, the shopkeeper Lu immediately straightened his body majestically, nodded slightly, and said something to every patron, and the young man in front of him was no exception, "The silver is stored in me, you can rest assured, but I want to tell you in advance, I don't accept other people's collection, nor do I accept things like notes, I only recognize your face, if you accidentally disfigure, it's best to come over and let me see it immediately." ”
That's it, the nearly eight thousand taels of silver collected from the Xu family's sisters and brothers Gu Shenwei took half of it, and the other half was left for the injured shopkeeper Lu and the three dead swordsmen, if these three people still have relatives who can receive the money.
In return, Shopkeeper Lu provided a message for free that Tie Hanfeng had already bought a house in Beicheng.
The young man left, and the few drinkers buried their heads in drinking, and soon, they would spread this story all over Nancheng, which was the most headache for the shopkeeper Lu, and then looked at the missing fingers and the corpse on the ground, and the anger in his heart was even more difficult to contain.
It wasn't going to end like that, the shopkeeper thought to him, and if the boy thought that saving money would erase the humiliation he had inflicted, it would be a big mistake.
Gu Shenwei didn't have this illusion, but he needed to act, and the failure to search for Gu's related documents made his revenge plan in the castle temporarily frustrated, and he had to take the initiative to do something to satisfy the restlessness in his heart.
Hatred is a chaotic pyre, accumulated enough, it can ignite a fire that engulfs the entire southern city and spreads to the stone castle, Gu Shenwei hopes that this fire is as big as possible, even if it burns himself, he will not hesitate to do it, not to mention, he will pull Shangguan Ru tightly, let Dubu Wang's most favored daughter bear the flames with him.
The two teenagers returned to Liuren Lane on the front foot, and the guys from the Nancheng Tavern sent four thousand taels of silver on the back foot.
Along the way, Xu Xiaoyi kept looking up at Brother Huan, and at this time he was standing in front of a pile of silver, and his mouth couldn't close, although the silver was earned by his sister, but it was taken away one by one, and he didn't have a chance to see them put together, and it took a long time to call his sister in a hoarse voice.
Xu Yanwei was busy doing business upstairs, heard the shouts downstairs, walked to the bedroom with her clothes on, her face was dissatisfied, and then she stood upstairs and was stunned.
The guest shouted in a rough voice, "Who the hell is screaming? ”
"Someone sent money. Xu Yan said without looking back, his voice trembling slightly.
The guest walked out topless, mixed with a white flesh and snorting, "Is this kind of thing half done? How much does it cost? I'll add a ......."
The obese guest looked at the piles of silver downstairs and frowned, a few thousand taels, not much, but it was too much to spend on one bitch.
The guest turned around and went back to the house, and after a while he dressed up, kicked downstairs, and left without saying a word.
The sister and brother stood side by side, staring at the silver, and did not speak for a long time, not noticing the departure of the guest at all.
Xu Xiaoyi first raised his head ruthlessly, he understood that no matter how beautiful the silver was, it was not his, but belonged to "Uncle Huan".
"It's your money. As a result, "Uncle Huan" said such a sentence, and both sisters and brothers raised their heads, their eyes were confused, and they were a little surprised, like two children, facing the sudden arrival of strange and generous relatives, I don't know whether to thank or be vigilant.
Xu Yanwei's mind turned faster than her younger brother this time, and she said in a timid voice, "Let's go upstairs?" probably because she felt that her younger brother and Uncle Huan's vision was not right, she added: "You are the real master, this is your right." ”
Xu Weiyan walked upstairs slowly, Gu Shenwei thought about it and followed, the Big-Bellied Buddha did this back then, and so did Tie Hanfeng, probably this is really the rule of the industry.
Xu Xiaoyi watched the two of them go upstairs, with a smile on his face, and then stared at the neatly stacked silver, opened his arms, and the whole person fell up, he didn't believe that there was any woman who could be more comfortable to hold than these hard silver.
Gu Shenwei was only a few steps behind Xu Yanwei, and when he walked into the upstairs bedroom, Xu Yanwei had already stripped naked, lying on the big bed, supporting her with one hand and half-covering the other in front of her, her cheeks were red, and she was shy, as if the young man could swallow her with just his eyes.
This is Xu Yanwei's best performance, Gu Shen thought about it, untied the sword, and threw it on the ground.
