Chapter 180: Acquaintances

After Scarface took the silver, the impatience on his face instantly turned into a smile.

The bribe given by the merchant is quite good, but the money is to be divided by the soldiers who guard the city gate with him that day, and a merchant can give him about one or two silver at most, unless it is a big merchant whose goods are worth a lot of money, but that kind of person is generally related to the post city, and it is not for them to make a move.

And Qin Wu directly threw him ten taels of silver, which seemed to mean that as long as he answered Qin Wu's question, the extra money would be directly rewarded to him.

Under the envious gaze of his companions, Scarface put away the silver, and then immediately called Qin Wu a brother with a shy face: "Actually, it's not a big deal, this brother, it's the first time you come to Yicheng, then I'll tell you about it." ”

"This third criterion is mainly equivalent to collecting protection money, brother, you should also know that this post city is not under the jurisdiction of any country, so their laws cannot bind us here, and many people who have committed crimes in their own country will run here to take refuge. ”

"People who commit crimes like this, the post city will not turn them out of the city, although this is not under the jurisdiction of the state, but it also has its own rules, some aspects are very free and relaxed, but others are even more severe in some aspects, such as fighting and making trouble in the city are heavy punishments, so generally no one dares to easily commit crimes in the post city, but let these people in, there is still an extra layer of risk, it is to be governed by the power of the post city, and escape wanted here, but this hiding point can't be given in vain, right?"

Qin Wu nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "Then you mean, I'm a fugitive?"

"No, no, no. Scarface hurriedly sneered, "Brother, you are a talent, how can you be a fugitive, look at brother, you are free and easy, and you are carrying weapons, I think you should be a person from the Han Kingdom, right?"

Qin Wu smiled: "Your eyesight is pretty good." ”

However, Qin Wu smiled secretly in his heart: Maybe now, I am really a fugitive in the Han Kingdom.

Scarface also smiled and said, "Hehe, we often have people from the rivers and lakes of your Han Kingdom travel here, because except for some rogues, only you Han people still carry weapons with them, and Yang Country strictly prohibits weapons, and the costumes of the Wu Kingdom are different from ours, so it is still very easy to recognize." ”

"But brother, although you are not a fugitive, but the rules are like this, only recognize weapons and do not recognize people, whether it is a fugitive or not, bringing weapons into the city is always a hidden danger to public security, even those merchants if there are weapons in the goods, they have to collect money like this, so the weapons sold in the post city are generally valuable and good, and there are basically no ordinary weapons to sell. ”

"I see. Qin Wu nodded, "Then can I enter the city?"

Scarface hurriedly made a gesture of please, and said with a smile: "Of course you can, please come in, please come in." ”

He had received so much money in just a few words, how could he not let Qin Wu in.

When he walked into the city, Qin Wu suddenly turned around and asked the scarface: "By the way, I'm going to settle here, where is it better to go?"

"Settle down?" Scarface thought for a moment and smiled, "There are a few inns in the city that are not bad, and they are more suitable for people like you, one is ......"

Just as Scarface was about to introduce Qin Wu to a few places, a shouting voice suddenly sounded beside Qin Wu.

"Here and here, do you want to stay in the hotel? Come to our Qunying Building, you are satisfied!"

Qin Wu turned around, and it was a person dressed as a shopkeeper who was greeting Qin Wu.

Seeing this, Scarface said: "Oh, this group of British buildings is also good, things are affordable, and most of them are not merchants living there, and the atmosphere is more lively." ”

"Oh, take me to the room. Qin Wu said indifferently, he didn't care about the specifics of these shops, as long as they weren't too bad, then Qin Wu could stay.

"Okay, the guest officer comes with me, our store is near here. The shopkeeper greeted with a smile, it seems that he is used to greeting guests at the city gate, but Qin Wu is also quite accustomed to this atmosphere, because in the Han Kingdom, there is also this custom of pulling people outside the store, especially this kind of inn built at the city gate, generally one move is accurate, and people from other places like Qin Wu basically live nearby.

Soon, under the leadership of the shopkeeper, after only turning a corner, he didn't go far, and he saw the signboard of the three big characters of the Qunying Building, and the decoration of this inn was also quite exquisite and atmospheric, so that Qin Wu was quite satisfied, and decided that there was no problem and he would live here.

Just as Qin Wu and the shopkeeper walked to the door, a businessman with a strong stomach and a big belly suddenly ran out of the Qunying Building and ran directly towards Qin Wu and the others.

When the shopkeeper saw the man, he hurriedly shouted, "What's wrong with the shopkeeper Meng?" ”

Hearing the shopkeeper call him so, this person should be the shopkeeper of Qunying Building, Shopkeeper Meng ran to the shopkeeper's side and said, "Zhiying, you are back, come quickly, come and do me a favor." ”

Shopkeeper pointed at Qin Wu and said, "Shopkeeper Meng, this is the guest I brought, and I haven't settled it yet." ”

Shopkeeper Meng glanced at Qin Wu, and hurriedly greeted with a smile: "In this way, guest officer, you come with me first, and I'll take you to see the room, Zhiying, you go to the counter and help me solve the trouble." ”

"Okay, then this guest officer will ask the shopkeeper, but you must be thoughtful and others are not satisfied," the shopkeeper said with a smile, and then left Qin Wu and ran away.

Shopkeeper Meng shouted at him: "Go, go, do I still need you to say?"

Then Shopkeeper Meng greeted Qin Wu and said, "Guest officer, please come with me." ”

"Hmm. Qin Wu nodded and followed the shopkeeper towards the inn.

However, the strange thing is that the shopkeeper did not take Qin Wu to enter through the main entrance of the inn, but went around to the backyard of the inn from the side door, and then entered the inn through the back door, and went directly to the second floor to the accommodation room.

Shopkeeper Meng also knew that his doing this would make the guests wonder, so he explained: "The guest officer is really embarrassed, there is a little trouble at our counter, I am afraid that it will affect the mood of the guest officer, rest assured, it will be fine in a while." ”

Qin Wu said nonchalantly: "It's okay, the shopkeeper should show me the room first." ”

"Okay. Shopkeeper Meng said as he opened the door of a room.

Although the layout of the room is not amazing, it is still quite chic, beds and bedding, tables and chairs copper basins, there are all the things that should be there, the style is also very exquisite, there are windows on both sides of the room, one is facing the street behind the inn, you can see the street coming and going, you can also look at the scenery of the post city, although the second floor can not be seen far away.

The other window is facing the corridor on the second floor, the corridor is one-way, through the corridor, you can see the front yard of the inn, the front yard is planted with willow trees, there is a rockery, and there are stone tables and stone benches, but unfortunately there is no stream, otherwise it would be perfect.

However, when Qin Wu was looking at the front yard, he also saw the counter of the inn by the way, the shopkeeper who led the way for him just now seemed to be dragging something, but he couldn't drag it all the time, and when Qin Wu looked at the shopkeeper, he unexpectedly found an acquaintance he knew.
