Chapter Seventy-Two: The Black Store Robbers

After returning to the inn, the four of them got together to discuss the journey, and after talking for a long time, they couldn't come up with a good idea, and finally decided to continue to stay in Haozhou City for a while, see how the situation changed, and then go back to the house to sleep.

Wei Qing and Cao Lu shared a room, he was about to open the bed to meet Zhou Gong, but he heard the knock of "Bu Bu" at the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was the shopkeeper who had been rewarded by Wei Qing with a tael of silver, holding a plate in his hand, which was filled with a pot of wine and peanuts, edamame and a few other side dishes to accompany the wine.

"We didn't order the food and drinks", Wei Qing wondered, "Did you send it to the wrong place?"

The shopkeeper smiled diligently and said: "It's not wrong, it's not wrong, these are all things that have been stocked up in the kitchen today and haven't been sold, and the small ones are specially used for supper for the guest officer, no money."

"You have a heart, okay, let's put it here", Wei Qing happened to be a little hungry, and it was late and it was inconvenient to go out to find food, but he didn't expect that the one or two silver rewarded during the day didn't ask for any useful news, but in exchange for a meal of supper and food that didn't cost money.

Wei Qing sat down and poured himself a glass first, but the taste was ordinary rice wine brewed in the countryside, the entrance was extremely light, far less spicy than the bad wine drunk in Lu'an in the past, but the wine taste was slightly pantothenic, and I don't know if the brewing process was wrong, or it was mixed with something else.

Wei Qing was not good at drinking, so after drinking a glass, he stopped drinking, and ate side dishes by himself, but Cao Lu got up from the bed, sniffled and said: "Why don't you wait for me to eat it yourself, how can you be someone else's senior brother and sworn brother like this."

"I thought you were asleep, so I didn't call you", Wei Qing smiled and pointed to the wine jug and said, "There is just a pot of wine, which should be enough for you to drink."

"How can such a small pot be enough for me to drink, you treat me stricter than Master, since I left Lu'an with you, I haven't drunk Ansheng anymore, it's good today, I still have wine to drink when I go to bed", Cao Lu approached the table and picked up the wine jug, and looked up to swallow it with a big gulp.

Wei Qing couldn't help but apologize when he heard this, when he first met Cao Lu, Wei Qing knew that he was good at drinking, and the amount of alcohol was very large, since Lin Hu died and the two went south to Bianliang so far, no matter what decision he made, Cao Lu followed him without hesitation, never had half a word of complaint, after several years of running, he really drank as he said, and never drank as happily as Lu'an.

Wei Qing thought of this, so he immediately raised his glass and stretched out his glass in front of Cao Lu and said: "Okay, pour me another glass, our senior brothers haven't sat down together for a long time to have a good drink, tonight is simply not drunk and will not return, a pot of wine is not enough, let's call another pot."

Wei Qingzheng was sentimental, but he saw Cao Lu squirting out the wine he drank in his mouth with a "poof", and casually picked up the long stick leaning on the table, and said with a solemn face: "The wine is sour, and it is sprinkled with sweat medicine, this inn is a black shop, go and see if Rui'er and their side are fine."

This inn is located in the middle of the city, and it is not the boundary of barren mountains and forests, when Wei Qing first tasted the sour taste of wine, he didn't think about it at all, but Cao Lu has been in the beggar gang for a long time, and his experience in the rivers and lakes is far better than his own, and he will never be wrong with such clumsy methods as sweat medicine.

Wei Qing was only stunned for a moment, and immediately turned around to go to the bed pillow to get the Zhanlu sword, at this moment, the door was kicked open by someone "bang", and several big men with bright and dangling big knives rushed in, hula and blocked the two in the house. Wei Qing didn't have time to take the sword, and when the broken palm of the master came, he raised his hand and knocked a strong man who rushed to the front to the ground.

At the same time, Li Rui's scolding and Liao Lingping's scolding were also heard in the next room, and then there was a sound of kicking over the table and chairs, obviously he had already started to move, Li Rui didn't know martial arts at all, and Liao Lingping's fist and foot kung fu was not very powerful, and he was afraid that he would suffer if he fought for a long time.

Wei Qing was anxious, and he wanted to break through when he unfolded his palm, but the room was narrow and he couldn't do his work, and people were still pouring in at the door, and he had to fight and retreat to the window facing the street, and said to Cao Lu: "The door is full of people, you can't rush over, go through the window, as long as you alarm the neighbors and provoke the officials, the people in this black shop will have to run away, and then save the two girls' families."

Cao Lu waved his stick and danced away, blocking all the enemies in the room, Wei Qing slowed down his hand to push open the window, and looked out, but he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, only to see that the street was crowded, not to mention nearly a hundred people, holding torches to illuminate the lights in all directions, shouting in unison: "Don't go the two pairs of dog men and women."

Wei Qing was greatly surprised in his heart, thinking that the four of them were all new to Haozhou, and there would never be an old grudge to provoke so many people to come to the door to seek revenge, if it was said that it was a black shop robbery, how could there be such a reason that more than 100 people gathered in the city of Fucheng were arrogant, he turned around and shouted: "Stop, if you have something to say, the younger brother and his party are all new to the treasure land, do you recognize the wrong person."

After Cao Lu hurriedly attacked a few moves to force the two men in front of him, he took a step back to collect the stick and withdraw the move, and the other party saw that he stopped and stopped pressing, only stared at the two of them viciously to prevent them from taking the opportunity to escape, only to see the shopkeeper walk out of the crowd, and said with disdain: "It's okay not to fight, so as not to break the table and chair and make people feel distressed, do you want to follow by yourself, or do you have to be caught and tied up."

Wei Qingqiang suppressed his anger and said: "Where do you want to take us, for no reason, why do we want to go with you, is there any royal law in this Haozhou City."

The shopkeeper snorted lightly, squinted at Wei Qingdao, and said: "Good guy, you dare to pretend to be at this point, or if you refuse to confess, you will have to suffer later."

Wei Qing refused to be captured, and pulled out the Zhanlu sword with a "hum", and was about to desperately kill a bloody way out, but he heard a shout from the street: "The big official has arrived, the big official has arrived."

After a while, I could only hear the heavy footsteps of "dong dong dong" coming from the corridor of the inn, and a person stretched out his hand to separate the person standing in the room and approached, it was Pei Jun who he had seen when he was walking in the street during the day, and after he stood still, he pointed to Wei Qing and the two and asked, "Is it these two ideas?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly walked to Pei Jun's side, and replied with a huff: "Back to the big official, it's these two people, first ask me about the news of the big official, and then secretly follow the big official to the door of your house, sneakily hiding and wandering for a long time, I look like I'm checking the terrain of the house, and after coming back, the four of them closed the door and got together to discuss the trick for a long time, not to mention that they have a northern accent, and they will never be wrong."
