The city where Jingyun Tower is located has a whole strip of taverns. Most of the drinks sold here are of poor quality and are put in simple jars and bottles. You can buy them for three cents in a bottle.
In the alley behind Jingyun Tower, there are prostitutes in Xiachu who cannot access the big table.
Those who cannot afford to go to big restaurants come to this small market to buy wine. Similarly, those who cannot afford to entertain themselves in elegant restaurants will go to the dark alleys behind here to find a third- or fourth-class shop and pick one at will.
A woman who has given up on the world.
The bedroom of the shopkeeper of Jingyun Building is on the top floor of Jingyun Building. When the window is opened, it faces this house.
Now, the shopkeeper looked at these high and low roofs and forced himself to calm down, but he couldn't calm down no matter what.
After standing in front of the window for a while, he walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, then stood for a while again, and so on.
There was no knock on the door for a long time, and the shopkeeper couldn't stand it anymore, so he turned around and opened the door, preparing to go downstairs.
The waiter happened to be outside and raised his hand to knock on the door.
When the shopkeeper saw him, he immediately pulled him and asked: "How is it? What did you find out?"
"I saw Liu Xian Cheng. He is still alive, not dead, but he was left there to collect his body!" The waiter said with a pale face, "There was blood in front of Qu's house. Those people killed without batting an eyelid.
If the knife falls, it means a human life!"
"Can't Mr. Liu come out?" the shopkeeper asked in surprise.
"I'm afraid so."
"What about Governor Zhao? Where are the other people in the Yamen?"
"Chief Zhao ran away, and a little boy came out of his official sedan! You didn't see it, but the Xia army was so fierce. With a shout, the little boy peed his pants in front of the Yamen on the spot! By the way, Liu County
Cheng also wet his pants, I saw that his feet were soft and his crotch was completely wet!"
"Who wants to listen to this!" the shopkeeper shouted in disgust. He turned his mung bean eyes back and forth, at a loss, and finally stamped his feet, "How annoying!"
In the morning, the clerk came back for the first time and said that Liu County Cheng had agreed, so it would be much easier to handle, but now, he is being detained there to collect... the body.
It is said that thousands of people died in front of the Qu Mansion, all of them were soldiers and horses guarding Hengxiang. The shopkeeper raised his hand to touch his neck and felt a sharp chill down his spine.
"Also, shopkeeper," the clerk suddenly lowered his voice, "it is said that people are looking for the crimson-browed girl in Yanchun Tower everywhere now. When I came here, I saw that the whole Yanchun Tower was smashed. And the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce seems to be there as well.
Something happened, I didn’t have time to find out the details, so I’ll come back and report to you first.”
"Miss Jiangmei, Tianxing Chamber of Commerce?" The shopkeeper frowned, "Hey, this has nothing to do with us."
"Then what are you going to do now..." the waiter said, "otherwise, I will go to Dongping Academy to find Mr. Youjian's person first, and tell him about Liu County Cheng's affairs first?"
"That's all we can do," the shopkeeper frowned, "Then go ahead."
"Well, little one, let's go right now!"
The shopkeeper closed the door and returned to the window.
The waiter finally arrived, but his anxiety was not appeased. Now he only felt more anxious.
Originally, it was none of his business. The person who wanted the things in Liu County Cheng's hands was Mr. Youjian. Although he didn't know what Mr. Youjian wanted to do, the shopkeeper agreed and even received a "favor fee", which was quite a lot.
Two silver coins.
Secondly, Heng Xiang saw that he was no different from Chang Tian.
Anyone who opens a business usually fears that order will become chaotic.
Ever since Zhao Huien closed the city, the shopkeeper has been anxious, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted the ten-tael job of meeting Mr. Again, not just for the sake of making a living in the future.
Amidst the anxiety, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly fell on a young girl.
There is no shortage of women coming in and out of the houses in the back alleys, but such young and beautiful ones are rare.
Because there are usually "good goods", the fish bustard heads here have been sent to the building courtyard for "sale" as soon as possible.
This girl has pretty features and is in her early twenties. The quality of her clothes is obvious. She seems to be hiding from someone. She looks left and right as she walks, looking back and forth.
"Huh?" the shopkeeper suddenly whispered, and was surprised to find that she was approaching the back of Jingyun Tower, and the place she was paying attention to seemed to be Jingyun Tower.
Sure enough, the woman stopped outside the back door of Jingyun Building and raised her hand to knock on the door.
The servant in the backyard went to open the door, but the shopkeeper couldn't hear their conversation clearly even with his ears raised.
But soon, I saw the handyman turning around and leaving. After a while, there was a knock on his door.
"You're looking for me?" the shopkeeper said to himself, and went to open the door.
The servant was outside. As soon as the shopkeeper opened the door, he said: "Shopkeeper, a girl came from the backyard and asked me to give this to you."
The busboy handed over a note.
The shopkeeper picked it up and opened it, and was surprised: "Shipping wine?"
"She said the pay was very high..."
"Five carts of wine are still filled with large wine jars and vats," the shopkeeper muttered, reading the contents of the note, "What are you doing transporting so much wine now? Wait, she said the pay is very high.
, how high is it?" The shopkeeper raised his head and asked.
"I don't know. She didn't go into details. She just said that if the shopkeeper didn't respond, she would go to the next shop."
"No, something's wrong." The shopkeeper hurriedly lowered his head and read the contents of the note carefully. "She said she was transporting wine, not buying wine. From what she meant, she asked me to find five pull carts for her.
Yes, give her another person to carry the wine."
The busboy glanced at the note in the shopkeeper's hand, but he couldn't read it because he couldn't read.
"Forget it, let's just help out," the shopkeeper said as he put away the note and walked out the door, "You call her to the guest room, and the business will be taken over."
If you don't make money, you are a fool.
Bai Ling waited anxiously outside the door, his hands clasping each other, and his palms were sweaty.
If Jingyun Tower fails, there will be no hope for other places.
After all, the shopkeeper of Jingyun Tower loves money, and if he doesn’t want to accept someone who loves money so much, then who else will care about them?
Seeing the handyman who had just gone up come back, Bai Ling's heart was high.
The handyman hurried up to her and said to her: "Come in, my shopkeeper said he would take it. You can go upstairs to discuss the details."
Bai Ling was overjoyed and tried to keep his composure: "Okay, please lead the way!"
Following the handyman from the back door to the front hall, the whole hall was abuzz with chatter about the "changes" in the past two days.
Bai Ling wanted to go upstairs quickly, but when he heard them mentioning Yanchun Tower, his steps slowed down unconsciously, wanting to hear a few more words.
As a result, she heard about Tianxing Chamber of Commerce's misfortune with Yan Chunlou.
Although they ran away immediately as soon as they knew something happened last night, and they never thought of asking Liu Junjun for help.
However, even Liu Junjun couldn't suppress it...
Someone below also expressed this confusion: "Liu Junjun? Isn't he the business owner of Tianxing Chamber of Commerce? How could he be arrested like this?"
"Yes, it's no different from being paraded in the street. He was taken away all the way in the street, and a series of people followed him, all with ropes tied to their hands!" someone else exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"To deal with Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Qu, we have established several names. This is too unreasonable to deal with Liu Junjun!"
"It's all that crimson eyebrow's fault. I don't know what happened to offend this person!"
…
Bai Ling listened and felt that his legs going upstairs were getting weak.
