Chapter 40: Plans have changed

As the pony walked through the lobby, he saw that the fat shopkeeper had gotten up and was engrossed in tapping his abacus into the ledger. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Having already walked over, the pony took two steps back and said to the fat shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I got up early today, and I was settling accounts early in the morning, but I didn't settle it last night?"

The fat shopkeeper raised his head, and the smile on his face squeezed his little eyes into a slit

, said: "Master, you are early, isn't it idle and nothing, I'll add it up." How can I help you?"

"I'm here to redeem the jade pendant. The pony put thirty taels of silver on the counter and said, "Eighteen taels of deposit and ten taels of hotel advance, a total of twenty-eight taels, and the rest will be put here for you first, and then counted when you leave." ”

The fat shopkeeper smiled: "Okay, okay, you can live as long as you like, I will remember it for you every day, and I will ask you to get it if it is not enough." Jade Pei, I'll find it for you. ”

After rummaging through the counter for a long time, the fat shopkeeper patted his head and said, "Ouch, look at my memory, I locked it in the backyard room, and I have been looking for it here for a long time." Wait a minute, I'll get it for you. ”

After waiting for a while, the fat shopkeeper hurried back with the dragon and phoenix jade pendant. After confirming that it was correct, the pony put the jade pendant in his arms, and as he was leaving, he saw a brocade guard come and tell the shopkeeper to prepare some delicious food and drink to send over, and they should be in a hurry after eating.

As she walks to the room, the pony feels as if something is wrong, but she doesn't know what is wrong.

The door was open, Murong Yuxin was sitting at the table with her hands on her cheeks and staring at the door in a daze, Shanyuan was pacing around the room, touching her head from time to time, and Nuan was sitting on a bench, holding a book in her hand but not reading a word.

The room was quiet, and the sound of the monk's footsteps seemed to make people feel more anxious.

"Sister Yuxin, it's not a way for us to wait here, if you don't go and see, in case the pony fights with the official, you can also have more helpers. The monk finally couldn't hold it back and shouted.

"Who's going to fight early in the morning?" said the pony as he walked in.

When the three of them heard this, they all hurriedly gathered around. Murong Yuxin preemptively said: "Why has Brother Xiao Ma been gone for so long, and the people in the government haven't embarrassed you, right?"

"I've been there for a long time? It's not been half an hour back and forth, I thought you hadn't woken up yet. ”

Shanyuan said: "When you went out, I vaguely heard it from the monk, and I didn't pay much attention to it." It didn't take long for the sister to knock on the door and quarrel with us, saying that you were taken away by the official, and I said that I wanted to go with me to see, but the sister was worried about you and afraid that you would blame, and she couldn't make up her mind and ended up suffering here. ”

A warm current surged in Xiaoma's heart, he looked at Murong Yuxin, and said, "They didn't embarrass me, and they also gave us silver taels of tweed." Look, I'll help you redeem the jade pendant. After speaking, he took out the jade pendant from his arms and sent it to her.

Murong Yuxin was pleasantly surprised, took the jade pendant, looked at the pony with a pair of beautiful eyes and tenderness, and said, "Thank you, Brother Pony." ”

Pony said, "We should thank you, if it weren't for you taking this jade pendant as collateral, we'd be sleeping on the streets and starving these days." ”

The monk said: "Strange thing, today the sun came out in the west, and the official sent money to the people. ”

"Monk, you can save it, is Jinyiwei's money so easy to take? This money is not taken for nothing, they are also running for the Red Fox Treasure Box, and if they take the money, they will naturally do things for them. ”

"Isn't it already revoked a long time ago?" asked Wen Wen suddenly.

"Now it's back up. Pony said.

"You took the money, which means you're going to do something for them?" Wen Wen continued to ask.

Pony smiled: "I took the money, but this is the money for running away, and I don't have time to toss with them." I said I'll get back to him in three days, and we'll leave here today. ”

Murong Yuxin looked worried, and said: "The people who offended the imperial court are not good after all, I heard that when Taizu was in power, Jinyiwei was a very ruthless character, creating many unjust, false and wrongful cases, and countless people died in vain, and later had to be revoked. Why bother to provoke them. ”

The monk shouted: "Jinyiwei doesn't have three heads and six arms, and we are just orphans, we can't implicate others, where do we need to scruple so much, and I don't know how much of their money is looted from the people's fat and people's ointment, monk, if I meet it, I dare to rob it and share it on the street, what are I afraid of him." ”

Xiao Ma knew that Murong Yuxin was not timid and afraid, but just concerned about her own safety. comforted: "Their purpose is the Red Fox Treasure Box, before the purpose is achieved, even if they suffer a little dumb loss, they will not treat me like this, don't worry too much." Fortunately, the shopkeeper has already risen, and as soon as the people of Jinyiwei leave, we will check out and leave. ”

Murong Yuxin said softly: "I hope so, you didn't ask for more money on the spot to redeem the jade pendant shopkeeper this morning, right?"

Pony said a little strangely, "No, why do you think that?"

Murong Yuxin said: "I just remembered that on the day I was a jade pendant, the shopkeeper's words and deeds were really obscene and greedy, and I was worried that he would use various excuses to add money." ”

Xiao Ma suddenly woke up and said: "No wonder I always felt that the shopkeeper was a little wrong today, but I couldn't say anything wrong, you said this, I understand, he gave this jade pendant too refreshingly, and looking at the way he took the jade pendant that day, how could he even remember where the jade pendant was put wrong." ”

Murong Yuxin was stunned and said, "You mean this hotel is weird?"

Pony thought for a moment and said, "I can't say if there is a problem with the hotel for the time being, but it's true that the shopkeeper is a little different from the past, and I don't know who it is." ”

Shanyuan slapped the table and said, "This is easy to do, monk, I will bring him to a fist, I am not afraid that he will not tell the truth." With that, he headed for the lobby.

Pony hurriedly stopped him from doing so, and said, "Don't act rashly in this matter, whether it's the Blood Demon Hall or the Jinyi Guard, the purpose is just to spy on our whereabouts." But since his scope is limited to Fulin Restaurant, we can leave quietly, or go shopping without returning. But ......"

"But what?" Murong Yuxin asked.

Pony said, "But I suddenly don't want to leave today, and I've been in town for two or three days, so how about I go to the market today?"

"I said Xiaoma, how do you remember that one is one play, didn't you say go to Hangzhou City? What is there to visit in this town? I want to go to you, monk, I would rather sleep here. The monk protested first.

Pony smiled, "I really didn't plan to ask you to go, but I don't think you want to sleep, let's go downstairs to the lobby and drink slowly and wait for us to come back." You can't leave the lobby for a moment until we come back. ”

"What's going on? I can't even go to the latrine? I can't stand being in and out all day, so I'm going shopping. ”

Pony said, "You think it's really just for you to drink, you have a heavy responsibility, you know?"

The monk suddenly realized and said in a low voice, "Are you asking me to keep an eye on the shopkeeper?"

"It's finally enlightened, but it's not for you to stare at the shopkeeper, it's for the shopkeeper to stare at you. ”

The monk looked dazed and said, "Which one is this singing?"
