When the sun had just set below the horizon, a horse-drawn carriage stopped leisurely at the door of a place called "Pan Ji Salt Shop" in Xicheng.

Although it is only a small salt shop, the whole door always looks like two words, atmospheric.

This is the main store of "Pan Kee Salt Shop", and there are three other branches in the capital, and there are more than a dozen branches in other states and counties of the empire, which is why it looks quite atmospheric.

Yes, this is Pan An's home, the front store and backyard left by his ancestors, so even though Pan An's father has made a lot of money at this time, the head office has not changed and has always lived here.

The salt shop is not a Qinglou wine service, and the door has to be closed as soon as the sun goes down, because even if you open the door, there will be no guests at this time.

However, today, the door of the salt shop is still open at this time, the lights inside are dim, there is no shopkeeper and his buddies, only a rich middle-aged man sits quietly on a bench, does he let out two long sighs.

The carriages all stopped at the door of their house, but obviously, the middle-aged man did not react, but lowered his head and said, "Alas, the time to come is always coming, that's it, that's it!"

Just as he was sighing and sighing, a young man in black knocked on the door, "Uncle, is Pan An at home?"

Hearing this voice, the middle-aged man was obviously startled, but his movements were extremely slow, and he slowly raised his head to look at the young man at the door, as if he felt that he had seen it somewhere.

"Are you looking for An'er?"

The middle-aged man's face is extremely bad, and his voice is quite decadent, he is Pan An's father, Pan Jiuzhou.

"Well, I'm, I'm his friend, come and see him. ”

Xu Chen said politely, because he had indeed seen this middle-aged man, and during the mid-term exam, Pan An introduced him from afar, "Why hasn't he come back yet?"

This was just a subconscious rhetorical question, but it seemed to startle the middle-aged man.

Pan Jiuzhou's face was angry, and that anger seemed to be accompanied by fear and helplessness, the fat on his face kept trembling, and finally squeezed out a few words, "If you have the ability, you will rush to me, don't look for my son, if you have the ability, you will rush to me, what do you want? Kill, come?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Jiuzhou took out a kitchen knife out of nowhere, slashed it on the bench, and then got up and said with a quick breath: "The knife is here, you can do it, but, please don't hurt my family An'er, otherwise, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost." ”

This was once a well-known figure in the mall, but at this time he felt a bit like a shrew on the street, and he was hysterical in every word.

The more Xu Chen listened, the more confused he became, and after reacting for a long time, he finally understood something, probably the Pan family was in some trouble, and the other party must have a lot of background, today, it is probably an ultimatum, so Pan Jiuzhou has been waiting here, so the housekeeper and the servants are not here.

"Uncle, I, I don't understand what you say, but I'm really here to find Pan An, I'll leave after I say a few words. ”

Looking at Xu Chen's sincere eyes, Pan Jiuzhou also seemed to feel that he probably recognized the wrong person, these days, his family has been harassed by those people, and he is a little nervous.

"Ahh

Pan Jiuzhou responded, but his expression was extremely defeated, because of the series of loud words just now, he had been preparing for a long time to say so sharply, if he did it again, he was afraid that he would not be so fierce, because, he was afraid.

"Young man, you'd better not look for him, he's in the backyard, but there's been a little bit of a problem at home lately, and seeing that you're not very old, don't bother you. ”

Pan Jiuzhou sat back on the bench stupidly, he didn't look at Xu Chen, it was not that he was rude, but he was not in the mood, he was not in the mood at all.

After listening to Pan Jiuzhou's words, Xu Chen knew that he had guessed correctly, so he said softly: "Uncle, don't worry, I'm not afraid, say a few words to Pan An, and I'll leave." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw that the small door leading to the backyard opened suddenly, and a fat young man walked out, and he was still carrying a long sword in his hand, which was the standard long sword of the Shan Sect, and he was Pan An.

However, Xu Chen saw his expression, and he didn't seem to know this person for a long time, his face that was once like a full moon had collapsed at this time, as if he had been hungry for a few months, and there was no longer the once unserious brilliance in his eyes, and he was as gray as Pan Jiuzhou.

"How did you get here?"

Pan An said as he stepped forward to hold Xu Chen's hand, and couldn't help but lead it to the backyard, if others saw him pulling himself with a long sword in his hand, they would definitely think that it was a bad attempt.

However, Xu Chen understood the other party's intentions in his heart.

As soon as he walked out of the small door, Pan An stopped and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing here?" Hurry up, the people of the Dushan Sect are looking for you, and it seems that they don't want to reward you. ”

At this moment, Pan An's mouth is still so sharp.

"It's okay, no one saw me coming. ”

Xu Chen also responded in a low voice, "By the way, what's wrong with your family?"

"It's okay, let's go!"

Pan An pinned his face to the side, as if he didn't want Xu Chen to see his expression.

"It's okay, why do you keep holding a sword?"

Xu Chen asked in a low voice, "Don't you even tell me? We're still not friends, aren't we?"

This is obviously using the method of agitation, and ordinary people will definitely turn their heads and look at each other affectionately at this time, and then have a lot of snot and tears.

However, Pan An did not, he whispered: "Whatever you want!"

Whatever?

What a sentimental sentence this is, but Pan An said it like this.

After a while, Xu Chen smiled coldly, "Your name that you are willing to say is either someone close to you or someone I know." ”

As he spoke, Xu Chen flicked his shirt, "Is it Ximen Wenyu or Liu Xia?"

Xu Chen's expression suddenly became fierce, and his originally calm eyes suddenly became fierce, "Say!"

Unexpectedly, Pan An actually laughed, but the smile was so ugly, if it was usual, he would definitely stare at Xu Chen and say, "Damn, it's really smart, Lao Tzu has always been very accurate in seeing people." ”

At this time, he whispered: "None of them! You go, you can do it if you are a friend." ”

Hearing Pan An say this, Xu Chen directly wanted to attack.

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard the voice of a young man in the shop, which was extremely arrogant and domineering, and it was completely said by a rag-skinned scoundrel.

"I said, uncle, you haven't moved out yet, waiting for me to pay you for the passage?"

“......”

"Tell you, give you another day, you close all your stores for me, including other counties and counties, and then fuck me off! Remember, it's just one day, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. ”

"This, this day is too little, why do you have to give me so much for a month or two, this old house is not easy to sell, and if it is sold urgently, it will definitely be calculated by others, you ......"

"Don't fucking talk to me about this uselessness, ah, do you see those errands outside the door?

"Know, know. ”

"It's good to know! An hour later, I asked for the life of your family, and I'm sure no one would dare to collect your body. Hehe, don't blame me, uncle, if you want to blame, blame your son himself, I warned him, but he didn't believe it, so I have to let him see how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has!"

Listening to the conversation outside, several unequal conversations, Xu Chen's fists immediately clenched, because, he heard that person's voice, Liu Xia.

At this moment, Pan An whispered in Xu Chen's ear: "Don't go out, ah!"

After speaking, Pan An carried the long sword and went to the front store.

"Liu Xia, don't deceive people too much, it's kind of coming at me, yes! I said at the time, what's wrong? What do you really dare to do to me?"

"Look, who is this? Dead fatty, are you still pretending to be a big-tailed wolf at this time? Believe it or not, I'm going to smash your shop right now?"

"You try to smash one?"

At this time, Xu Chen clearly felt a trace of aura fluctuations, it was obvious that Pan An wanted to fight, at this time, Xu Chen really wanted to go out, but after a little hesitation, he finally held back.

"Dead fatty, isn't it called, okay!"

I only heard Liu Xia's voice suddenly rise, "Smash me!"

At this time, Xu Chen heard noisy footsteps, noise, and insults.

"You dare?"

"It's you who don't dare, dead fatty, you just pay lip service, otherwise, when that fool was injured to the end that day, you would have taken action. If you dare to do it, your family will not survive, if you don't believe it, you can try. ”

Stupid?

Xu Chen smiled slightly, the stupid in Liu Xia's mouth was naturally himself, he was not angry, he just begged Pan An not to be impulsive.

Just as Liu Xia said, there was a sparse noise in front, and those errand boys must have started to do it, but Xu Chen knew that Pan An at this time must be looking at them with hatred, but it was just looking at them with hatred.

Yes, he didn't dare to fight back, he had parents, he wasn't cowardly, he took care of too much.

Who doesn't play hooligan, who doesn't vent, but once there are people you care about, and you want them to live happily, you won't shout and kill, this is a normal person.

It's just that those ruffians take advantage of this, and they are really not afraid, which confirms the old saying, "Fools are the bravest people in the world." ”

Ignorant and fearless!

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of smashing the store finally disappeared, and there was nothing to smash compared to.

"I said, give you another day, and in a day, I'm going to go on a killing spree!

After a while, those noisy footsteps gradually left, and after feeling that everything had passed, Xu Chen walked out of the small door, Pan Jiuzhou was staring at everything in the store stupidly, without words, the property left by the ancestors was destroyed in his hands, what kind of mood could it be.

And Pan An was also stunned, and his whole body kept trembling.

At this moment, Pan An felt the long sword in his hand sink suddenly, and a figure slashed past him.

"Don't worry, the store will open as usual tomorrow, and Liu Xia will not appear again in the future. ”

That was Xu Chen's voice, and before leaving, Xu Chen also took a black rag with him.
