Chapter 47: Servile Rites
Shang Shulang returned home, pondered the whole shopkeeper, and felt that this person was very interesting, every sentence was so accurate, no nonsense, no superfluous emotional changes, rational, calm and ignoring gains and losses, honor and disgrace.
He wondered if such people would respond like machines when faced with death threats.
He paid attention to the whole shopkeeper, but he actually felt strange. Isn't it? He's too calm! What does he rely on? Is it strength, or psychological quality, or is it an ethereal faith?
"Knock knock!" there was a knock at the door. This is the first time that this is the first time that my home has received visitors.
The courtyard door opened, and in front of Shang Shulang stood a young man, who looked very ordinary and very capable, he was carrying a package in his hand, it looked a little heavy, what could it be......
"The guys who are in the Zhenge Pavilion on the lower mountain have come to meet the special master. ”
"Come in. Shang Shulang led him into the courtyard, but did not enter the house.
The courtyard gate is always open. His house is almost a small factory, full of materials for refining puppets and talismans, and there is not even a place for pins, which is not suitable for others to enter.
He could only receive this guest in the courtyard, and after looking the young man up and down, he found that this person was still a practitioner, with bright eyes, not tall, but very athletic, and should take that agile path.
"Say it!" he turned to look at the fellow.
"Madame, I hope you can raise your noble hand! Our whole shopkeeper is also for business, there is no way. You know, it's not easy to do business. I hope that within the scope of your authority, you can take care of our Shanzhen Pavilion a little, if so, we are willing to treat Qin Zhutou like we do, only you will be the first to look forward. ”
The other party's straightforwardness, attitude is also very sincere, and the meaning is very clear. In fact, he didn't plan to bring down the Shanzhen Pavilion before, and he didn't even have the intention of embezzling assets.
He just wanted to dig out some officials and finances from it, arrest a few more people, and expand the results of the war.
"You don't have to take refuge in me, I'm the vice-captain, I'm not suitable to take over, you can find Captain Bisher, that's more suitable. ”
Shang Shulang is very wise, he is not qualified to make profits alone, so he directly accepted the Shanzhen Pavilion, and the appearance is too ugly, and Bi Sier and other forces will also be wary of him.
Since Shanzhen Pavilion is so knowledgeable, then give a way to live. Tomorrow, hand over the contents of the package, and then it will be Bisher's business, it is estimated that after he finishes dividing, he will find a reason to release the whole shopkeeper, and the matter will be over.
"As for the matter of your shopkeeper, it is not big or small, I will tell Captain Bisher, and there will naturally be a result. Just go back and tell your wife, and she'll understand. ”
The man bowed deeply, said his farewell, put down the package, and retreated step by step, and when he reached the courtyard gate, he turned and left.
Shang Shulang was stunned, he was a little surprised! This is not because there must be a lot of money in the package, but the etiquette of the young man leaving the door after the door seems to be a bit cross-border.
Is it that I'm too suspicious, or are things going so well that I'm a little uncomfortable?
He returned to the house and sent a message to Mr. Tong through the mirror of the Tongzhou Society, "...... Is there such etiquette?"
Mr. Tong's reply was quick, "I haven't seen it, and I haven't heard of it." ”
Shang Shulang became alert, and the performance of the whole shopkeeper and his companions repeatedly gave him a strange feeling, and the etiquette in the ancient court of this world also ran out, which was even more unexpected. Before, he felt that the whole shopkeeper seemed to be acting abnormally, but now, the young man's behavior made him even more suspicious.
Now, based on Mr. Tong's information, it can be determined that there is indeed something wrong with this guy, and the etiquette he practices is very similar to that of this world.
All the shopkeepers, guys, Shanzhen Pavilion, is it a den of outsiders? Or is it the "base station" of outsiders mentioned in the secret file?
"Blackie!"
Xiao Hei appeared in front of it, and he had another task? Xiao Hei was curious.
"You go here, see what secrets there are, just look, don't touch anything, don't expose yourself, or you'll be in big trouble. ”
Xiao Hei disappeared in a blink of an eye, and he was also a little uneasy, so he immediately rushed to the patrol team and ordered the gathering......
Moreover, he sent for Bishr, explaining that he might have discovered a stronghold of outsiders.
Bisher is overjoyed, this is a great achievement!
After a while, Xiao Hei quietly got into his sleeve and passed on his thoughts, and sure enough, the Mountain Treasure Pavilion was indeed a base station.
Bi Sier also saw the little black snake, and was surprised, this is the magic pet?
Shang Shulang smiled, and did not shy away from it: "Demon pet, you can pass on information." I can be sure that it's an outsider's base station! The night is long and there are many dreams, and I must act immediately, and if it's late, I'm worried that people will go to the empty house!"
Bi Sier immediately summoned his subordinates to gather, and in less than half an hour, everyone rushed to the Mountain Treasure Pavilion.
Shang Shulang led the people into the courtyard of the Shanzhen Pavilion, and there was no one to stop him all the way, and then, the inspectors rushed into the largest attic.
Not a soul was there!
Shang Shulang instantly understood! Before, with the cooperation of the whole shopkeeper, the guy went to his house to bribe, all of which were delaying tactics and delaying the army!
I'm afraid the whole shopkeeper is missing too, right? Soon this judgment was confirmed, and the whole shopkeeper in the prison disappeared.
The frustrated Shang Shulang was teased for the first time, and the only thing left was to search the Mountain Treasure Pavilion to see if there was a basement, a treasure room or something.
Bi Sier was also a little angry, and shouted angrily: "Dig three feet into the ground, find me, issue a wanted warrant, immediately, immediately!"
"I didn't expect the other party to be so alert, I noticed it very quickly, but it was a step slower! ”
"What do you say? It's not that we're incompetent, it's that the enemy is too cunning!"
"Yes, alas!"
Searching the buildings above ground yielded little to gain, only a few belongings that had not had time to be taken away, which was a small consolation, but far from what was expected.
Originally, everyone thought that digging three feet into the ground would not yield anything, but unexpectedly, a secret room was really dug out, and a box was raised.
