There were more and more people at the gate of the city, and the noisy noise made Xu Qingfeng not want to fall asleep anymore, so he simply closed his eyes, put all the distractions out of his ears, and concentrated on cultivating the technique of fetal breathing.

The old man, who had already left, turned back and stood in front of Xu Qingfeng and shouted softly: "Little brother, this little brother ......"

Xu Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes and asked, "This elder, what's the matter?" ”

"My master originally wanted to enter the city in the morning, but he didn't think that the axle was broken, and the goods on the car could not be transferred, and he wanted to find someone to help transfer the goods in the car to the city, I wonder if the little brother is willing?"

The old man's words were very polite, unlike other rich people, who looked high, obviously looking for someone to help with the work, but it seemed to be a charity.

"Why are you looking for me?" Xu Qingfeng couldn't figure it out, there were countless people who slipped under the root of the city wall, and there were countless strong people, why did he just look for him, a person who obviously didn't grow up, was it because the price of children was cheap?

In fact, after the old man heard Xu Qingfeng's words, he was also very puzzled in his heart, this long list of sleeping people, only your dress is the most obvious, at first glance, it is a person who relies on selling labor to eat, if you don't look for you, who else are you looking for?

"There is only one brother waiting to be hired here, which is really a scoundrel, and he has to disturb his dream. ”

"I ......" Xu Qingfeng opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, he knew what was going on.

Do I really look and dress like a coolie and a helper? Both the dead housekeeper Du and the old man treat themselves as laborers waiting to be hired.

After experiencing Steward Du, Xu Qingfeng is now very sensitive to the matter of employment, but seeing the anxious face of this old man, and the politeness of his speech, he decided to ask again, if he stops by, it is not impossible to consider it.

"I wonder where the elderly are going to move their goods?"

"Dongcheng Yongchang Warehouse. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he saw Xu Qingfeng at a loss, and roughly understood that Xu Qingfeng might not be familiar with this name, so he hurriedly said: "It's just a street next to the Sihai Pavilion main store." ”

Xu Qingfeng still didn't know anything, but after hearing the name Sihai Pavilion, he immediately let go of the worries in his heart, after all, he had entered the Sihai Pavilion in Xicheng, and the stewards inside were also very kind, thinking about people everywhere.

When the sun rose, the city gate finally opened, and Xu Qingfeng tied up all the goods, carried them with wooden sticks, and prepared to follow the old man into the city.

The old man originally wanted to hire two people, but he couldn't find anyone for a while, so he tentatively asked Xu Qingfeng if he could finish moving all the goods, Xu Qingfeng agreed, of course, the salary also changed from two cents to three cents, which made the old man very amazed Xu Qingfeng's strength, and he didn't think that Xu Qingfeng was not an ordinary person for a long time.

There was a sudden chaos behind the team entering the city, and someone from afar shouted to dodge, and Xu Qingfeng and the others hurriedly leaned to the side.

A string of prisoner carts passed in front of them, each of which was crowded with people, from old to young, and the babies who were waiting to be fed, probably because of hunger, cried incessantly all the way, and their voices were already hoarse.

"What the hell have these people done! Look at those poor kids. ”

"I heard that it was a great witch, and I was found and sued to the city lord's mansion. ”

"I don't think so, but I think this thing is strange, why during this time, in many places, the whole village was arrested. ”

"How do you know so well?"

"My relatives in the countryside fled to my house last month, and it is said that all the people in their neighboring villages were taken away because of their witch worship. My relatives ran out of their village for fear of harming them, and you know what happened to them?"

"What happened?"

"Hehe, my relative's village, and sure enough, everyone was arrested for witch worship. Tell me that after so many years, no one has been found to worship witches, why are all witches worshipping now, and besides, the people who were taken away have not been sentenced or beheaded, and those who have been arrested have disappeared. ”

"This eldest brother is right, my brother-in-law is the jailer of the city lord's mansion prison, the last time he went home, he said that he had arrested so many people these days, and he didn't send them to the prison, it is likely that the city lord has built a new prison, and he is going to go to the cell head of the relationship, who knows that after inquiring, the rumor he got is nosy, do you say this thing is weird?"

I don't know how many prisoner cars there are, one after another into the city, and the people standing on the side of the road are idle, so they gather together, point at the prisoner cars, and reveal all kinds of gossip, for fear that others will not believe it, and they all use their relatives as guarantees.

There was a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe, and at this time he sighed worriedly: "I don't know how much bloody rain will be set off, I think that the Xu family in Huzhou back then was because he was accused of worshipping witches, but later I heard that I was actually looking for some treasure at that time......"

"You don't want to die, the city lord of Linhai City, but the brother of the Marquis of Huzhou. ”

Someone stopped the middle-aged scribe and then dispersed, pretending to be nothing, but in fact his eyes were wandering around, worried that someone would hear him.

After Xu Qingfeng stood next to him and heard the words of the middle-aged scribe, he once again affirmed that the Xu family in Huzhou was only framed because the treasures in the family were coveted, and the family was finally ruined, but this time I heard that the city lord of Linhai City was actually the brother of the Marquis of Huzhou, which was an unexpected surprise.

Finally waited until the prisoner car was over, Xu Qingfeng followed the old man and entered Dongcheng, and the pedestrians along the way looked at him sideways, marveling at his strength, actually doing the work of two people alone, and he was still so young, when passing by the Sihai Pavilion main store, the two welcoming guys standing at the door stared at Xu Qingfeng intently, as if they didn't believe their eyes.

The Yongchang Warehouse is indeed on a street next to the main store of Sihai Pavilion, but there are several small streets and alleys in the middle of this street, and there is even a small river in the middle.

Xu Qingfeng got the Sanwen salary, and not long after he turned around and walked back, he felt that someone was following him, and he initially suspected that it was someone from the Yongchang Warehouse, but he thought that if it was because of the Sanwen salary, he could not pay the account when he was in the warehouse, and there was no need to go to great lengths to snatch the wages back halfway.

Later, I wondered if there was a splash who wanted to extort, but then I thought that splashes were generally open robbers, and they couldn't be so sneaky to follow.

Xu Qingfeng speculated in his heart indiscriminately, while speeding up his pace, trying to get rid of the people who were following him, but he couldn't get rid of the two small streets, and when he passed the small river, he looked at the clear river water, and he had an idea, and after crossing the small bridge, he immediately followed the small river, sinking the whole person to the bottom of the river, running the fetal breath trick, and silently paying attention to every move outside.

......

Abao and A'an Pingsu are in front of the main store of Sihai Pavilion, who are responsible for guarding the gate and taking care of the carriages and horses for the guests.

The two have been looking forward to the opportunity to make a fortune, but how can they say that they want to have this kind of opportunity, they can only look forward to it day and night, this kind of perseverance and perseverance finally moved the heavens and left a chance to make a fortune.

Just now, there was a boy who picked up goods, when he passed in front of the main store of Sihai Pavilion, the two of them only felt familiar, and after thinking about it, they took out a picture scroll from their bodies, which was the internal reward document issued by the store the day before, only to find that the kid was not the person to be found on the internal reward document? As long as you find this kid, you can get a reward of fifty taels of silver, and if you can catch it, the reward will be even more.

Abao and A'an were ecstatic, while sending someone to inform the store manager, while secretly following behind, but how to cross the small bridge and disappeared, looking around, it was all open road, it was early in the morning, there were few pedestrians on the road, how could there be the figure of the kid, as for the two people in the water, they didn't think at all, who would stay in the water silently, and not a fish.

"Abao, did you say that kid found us, why did he slip away in a blink of an eye. ”

"How is this possible, don't forget what we are doing? If you don't have a good look, you can still eat this bowl of rice in front of the Sihai Pavilion main store for more than ten years? ”

"What then?"

"What else can we do? Since the man has disappeared from here, then sit here and wait, I don't believe that the kid doesn't climb up, if he really can't climb up, and falls into the hole and dies, then it's useless for us to find it." ”

"Why is it useless to be dead?"

"A'an, my brother teaches you to be a good man, if you want to get rich in this life, one is to make more friends, and the other is to be willing to spend money. If you are willing to spend money to make friends, then there will be more news of getting rich, why is it useless to be dead, I just spent money to get the news from the Sihai Pavilion Xicheng branch and friends, so do you understand?"

"Hey, Brother Abao, I can be regarded as having gained knowledge today, I must keep in mind your golden and jade good words, if you can successfully get the reward this time, you are thirty taels, and the little brother is twenty taels, you can quickly tell me why it is useless when that kid dies." ”

Not only did Ah An wonder why the dead were useless, but even Xu Qingfeng, who was at the bottom of the river under their feet, wanted to know why the people of the Four Seas Pavilion wanted to reward themselves and offer such a high price, and the dead people didn't want it.

"According to a friend in the Xicheng branch, this kid is an idiot, and the last time he went to the Xicheng branch to sell animal skins, he was sold by the steward there for 150 furs for 10 taels of silver in a few words. ”

"Brother Bao, is there really such a stupid person? Even if those furs are not all tigers, leopards and fox skins, they are at least worth fifty taels of silver!"

"Of course there are such stupid people, not only are these furs of tigers and leopards some high-priced beast skins, but there are at least a dozen furs that are close to demon beasts. ”

"It's about to become the fur of a demon beast, so wouldn't it cost a thousand taels of silver for each one. ”

"Who's to say it's not! Steward Harry said that such a stupid fool had never been met, and if he didn't deceive his whole family to death, he would not be able to live with his conscience.

In fact, these are nothing, the key is that when this kid left, he also revealed that he had the fur of a demon beast, and the Ha steward sent someone to follow him at that time, but on the way, he found that he was taken away by the housekeeper of the city lord's mansion, so he had to report to the head office and issue an internal reward document, but whoever finds this fool will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver; if you find a place where the monster skin is stored, or bring the living back to the store, the reward will be doubled, and you say that we are going to live fools or dead fools......"
