Chapter 8 Trapped in the quagmire

When Jing Qian slowly let go of his hand, Qiao Lianshou's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Although he stepped back repeatedly, his eyes did not deceive.

Jinggan was originally a cautious person. Since the decline of the tribe, he had to take precautions many times in every city he visited. Without exception, this time when he entered Qiaojiazhuang, he still looked for some clues. There were many interactions between Lanfeng County and Qiaojiazhuang. Jing Qian had heard about it for a long time, but what he couldn't imagine was that the innocent Tie Yu'er would actually get involved in the world.

Qiaojiashan, known as benevolent and righteous, has long fascinated Ma Jun. His purpose is very simple, which is to visit all the forces with the ambition to dominate the northwest and learn the way of checks and balances. Of course, there are only a few people who can find Dongqing. The whereabouts of several people have also become a top priority.

After Qiao Lianshou left the torture room, Gui Cha kept looking at the torture instruments on both sides and was full of praise. It seemed that he had become accustomed to thinking of himself as a devil.

These small alleys are still difficult to navigate, but they are familiar again and again. Since the last time we came here, a few people walked out of the alleys and walked to the entrance of Leather Trade Market.

"Did you see it? Go ahead and turn left at the small cross and you will see a cloth shop called 'Qiao's Silk and Satin Shop'. As long as you say it was recommended by me, the shopkeeper will take you up the mountain!"

"Okay, then we won't embarrass you. You are much more sensible than your brother in the tavern!" Ma Jun said and said goodbye with fists in his arms.

All the way through the carriages and horses, the scholar was worried.

"Xiucai?"

"Hey! What are you thinking about?" Jinggan responded to the call, stopped and patted him on the back. At this moment, the scholar seemed to wake up from a dream.

"No...nothing!"

After passing the intersection, I looked left and right but didn't see a store with "Qiao's Silk and Satin Shop" on the sign. An old man in elegant clothes passed by several people. Jinggan quickly stopped and pointed to the street and asked: "Old man Sir, is there a store called 'Qiao's Silk Shop' on this street?"

"You're here for business, right? This is right here. This street is full of their stores. Everyone in the business knows about it. You can enter any store you want!"

As expected of the famous boss of Qiaojiashan, this style is indeed sufficient. There are sixteen or seventeen stores of all sizes in the whole street.

After thanking you, I looked around, chose a grand store and walked in. There was little business in the store today, and the people looking at the store fell asleep on a roll of yellow silk, but these people were not alert for a long time. Exercise is required by the rules. As soon as I heard someone coming into the store, I woke up immediately and hurriedly waved a few people into the store to watch.

"Where's your shopkeeper?"

"Oh, he's in store No. 4 now, he'll be here soon!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a man walking in. He was completely dressed in fine clothes, and his mink fur coat made Huaiyi's eyes roll. After the man entered the door, he diligently bowed to Jinggan and several others. The small workers in the store He quickly took a feather duster from the shelf and cleaned it up and down for those who came.

"Just take a look at it. The products in our store are all different. The quantity is large and the quantity is sufficient. I will check the color number and other things for you!"

"Are you the shopkeeper?"

"That's me!"

Jingqian looked at him carefully and found that this person was reliable and sincere from his conversation to his appearance.

At this time, a familiar figure also arrived, it was the big man in the torture room. He came in, smiled at each other with the shopkeeper, and then walked slowly into the inner room.

Jingqian said: "Shopkeeper, Mr. Shou wants a few of us to come and pay a visit to you. I hope you can take us to the village to meet the owner!"

The shopkeeper greeted with a smile: "Welcome, I would be even more happy if I saw some young and strong martyrs!" As he spoke, the shopkeeper glanced at the inner room.

When Ma Jun heard this, he immediately admired in his heart. Sure enough, benevolence and wealth are both prosperous. Lord Qiao is indeed very generous. Even the shopkeeper who manages the business is so polite. Before Jinggan could speak, he said first: "The shopkeeper is really great." Too humble, I can finally appreciate the magnanimity of Qiaojiazhuang today!"

The two went back and forth politely and complimented each other.

But Xiucai kept staring at the inner room without saying anything. He had a mystery in his mind. How could the big man in the torture room appear here?

The enthusiastic shopkeeper quickly took off his coat and threw it on the rack, then let Jing Qian and others into the inner room.

"It's not too late to serve some tea and some snacks to everyone first. It's said to be about twenty miles, but there are a lot of unpalatable meals on the way."

After saying that, the shopkeeper clapped his hands, and the big man moved when he heard the sound. He immediately followed several guests down to get the food. The shopkeeper added a sentence and shouted: "The quantity is a little larger, these heroes are tired!"

As soon as they sat down on the bench, several volunteers stepped in one after another and put the exquisite trays in their hands on the table. Looking at the delicious food on the table, several people were also hungry. They hurriedly distributed the chopsticks and took food from the plates. .

"Xiucai, do you want to eat?"

"Forget it, I just ate it this morning and I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach!"

After hearing the two people talking, the shopkeeper immediately sat up, clapped his hands and told you: "Did you hear that? The guest has a stomachache, go down and prepare some light tea!"

After that, he sat down and moved the brazier on the side closer to the scholar.

During the banquet, the shopkeeper was also an outspoken person, and within a short time, he was already familiar with Huaizheng.

"Shopkeeper, I saw your coat was very nice as soon as you entered the door!"

The shopkeeper saw what Huaiyi meant, and quickly stood up, took the coat from the rack, and put it on Huaiyi. He gave a thumbs up and said, "It seems that you are more appropriately dressed than me. I have never practiced martial arts and am a bit thin." !”

Huaiyi opened his mouth with joy, put down half the snack in his hand, stood up and danced.

Suddenly, the room became lively. But for some reason, the scholar seemed to be distracted today. Jinggan noticed the scholar's strangeness, moved Ma Zha towards the scholar and asked: "Xiucai, what's wrong with you today?"

"Jing Gan, if you really can't do it, don't waste your time here. Let's go to the mountain by ourselves. I'm a little worried..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiucai felt a chill on his forehead, his body had lost consciousness, and several other people also fell down immediately.

The shopkeeper glanced contemptuously at the fallen Jinggans and said to the big man before: "Take them back to you. Don't let me do this kind of thing in the future. Mr. Shou should have his own ideas!"

The big man lowered his head and smiled, summoning some of his assistants who were traveling with him. With a murmur, those people were as obedient as pugs.

"Wait!", the shopkeeper's voice stopped several people who were about to take action. He walked to Huaiyi, turned Huaiyi over, pulled out the coat from under him, and said coldly: "Why? My clothes are all dirty because of you guys, and I don’t like dirty clothes!"

After saying that, he threw his coat to the big man aside.

The big man was stunned for a long time and said in embarrassment: "Shopkeeper Qiao is..."

The shopkeeper sat down on the satin roll, played with a piece of fabric at hand and said: "Tell Mr. Shou that he owes me a favor and a fine mink fur!"
