In front of the courtyard gate of Fu'an Inn in Qibao County. Zhao Zheng stopped here and looked up.
The courtyard gate of this inn is tall and wide, with high walls on both sides. The wall is more than two feet long. The surface is extremely smooth and has no leverage. This is to prevent night walkers from climbing over the wall and sneaking in. On top of the wall, there are also mud
There are many sharp nails mixed in. If someone steps on it with their feet, their feet will be penetrated by the nails!
Fu'an Inn is the largest inn in the area and is famous for its safety. Although it cannot prevent powerful intruders, it is enough to prevent intruders below Sanchongyao.
In addition to high walls, this inn also has many other security measures. The nursing home will lead dogs in the yard.
I patrolled at night, and the doors and windows of the houses were all made of iron. There were also a few capable warriors stationed there.
Zhao Zheng thought to himself that even with his current ability, he was not completely sure of sneaking into this inn at night.
If Ma An stays in here and does not come out, it will be very safe and he will not cause any trouble due to the crime of holding a jade.
After Zhao Zheng no longer wants to continue with this transaction, he will send Ma An away overnight to another town, and then give Ma An some money so that the family can live in peace and stability in the future.
Son-in-law. He feels that this idea is quite good, and he has always liked helping people get out of trouble.
He paused for a moment, then entered the courtyard and stepped into the pavilion. He greeted the waiter and said he was going to Room Xuanzi.
"Sir, I'm sorry, the guest in the Xuanzi room is entertaining guests, so I can't see you yet. He can only receive one guest at a time. You can only go see him after that guest leaves.
. How about this? You wait here for a while. After the previous guest leaves, you can go to the Xuanzi room. I think that guest will not stay too long." The waiter said with a smile on his face.
.
"Okay, then I'll just wait here for a while." Zhao Zheng found a table by the window and sat down, waiting slowly.
The waiter quickly wiped the table and brought out a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds. The waiter was very attentive, much more attentive than when Zhao Zheng was the waiter.
"Xiangtai, the man in the Xuanzi room, has a close business.
How is i?" Zhao Zheng asked casually while sipping some tea.
The waiter in the shop grabbed the broken silver, and the smile on his face became stronger. He nodded and said: "The guest officer's voice has always been very good. He comes in to buy medicine almost every day. I heard that the guest officer sells elixirs.
It’s called Hu Li Zhuang Yang Dan, and it’s divided into three, six, and nine grades. The most expensive one can be sold for two hundred and twenty taels. If this medicine is so expensive, he must have made a fortune long ago.”
Initially, the price of the first-class Hu*Li aphrodisiac pill was two hundred taels. Later, because it was very popular, Zhao Zheng raised the price. Now the price of the first-grade pill has been increased to two hundred and twenty taels, but it still has no impact on sales.
"As a foodie, you shouldn't underestimate the business in this area." Zhao Zheng took a sip of tea and was secretly happy. The good sales of the elixir meant that he, the boss behind the scenes, would have more money in his pocket. Since then, he has
After starting this business, he made a lot of money and no longer had to worry about the cost of buying medicinal materials.
"Tsk, tsk, if you give me one of those pills, I won't be able to bear to take them myself. I will definitely sell them for money. The money from this pill will be enough for me to spend for several years." The waiter in the shop said blankly.
i dream.
"Haha, then you just hope that Brother Ma's pocket will slip out of his pocket and drop a pill to the ground for you to pick up." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
"That's really the best." The waiter said.
Zhao Zheng chatted with the waiter for a few words, and then cracked melon seeds.
When the waiter saw customers at other tables coming in to greet him, he ran over to get busy.
The process of buying and selling medicine didn't take much time. Not long after the customer came in, the customer who bought the medicine left. Zhao Zheng then arrived at the room named Xuan.
Ma An had not seen Zhao Zheng for more than a month, and he seemed very happy to reunite. He had stayed in this inn for more than half a year. He ate and drank well every day. He was a little fatter and had a more complex complexion than before.
It becomes rosy and looks rich.
Zhao Zheng greeted Ma An, chatted a few words about business matters, and then went to another room to visit Ma An's mother.
At this time, Ma An's daughter Ma Hong ran up, hugged Zhao Zheng's leg, opened her red mouth, and shouted angrily: "Uncle Zhao, did you bring me anything fun this time?"
come over?"
Zhao Zheng has always regarded Ma An as his equal since he met Ma An, so even though he was not much older than Ma Hong, he still treated Ma Hong as his uncle and niece. He stroked Ma Hong's head a few times, and then left.
She took out the gift she had prepared all morning and gave it to Ma Hong. This gift is "Diao Bamboo", which is also commonly known as diabolo. It consists of two small bamboo sticks tied to a wooden shaft with a thread in the middle, and it is shaken by hand.
It will make a whistle sound.
"Uncle Zhao, how do you play this?" Ma Hong fiddled with the diabolo for a few times, but didn't understand it.
"Here, let me teach you." Zhao Zheng took the diabolo and played with it for a few times. The diabolo buzzed, bringing simple happiness to him.
Ma Hong clapped her little hands and jumped around Zhao Zheng, looking very happy.
When Zhao Zheng saw that Ma Hong had learned it, he handed the diabolo to Ma Hong. Ma Hong ran to play with nǎinǎi and showed off her new toy to nǎinǎi.
"This child has been in trouble for the past six months. She has been trapped in this inn. How can a child like her endure such loneliness? She always complains to me and pesters me to go out." Ma An said with a bitter smile.
"For the sake of safety, you and your family should stay in the inn and don't go out. Although it's a bit depressing here, it's better than being safe. Don't worry, I'll be leaving here soon, and by then, you won't have to step in for me.
Now that you are selling medicine, you can go wherever you want." Zhao Zheng reassured.
"You want to leave Qibao County?" Ma An was surprised when he heard this.
"With this plan, it probably won't take long, maybe half a year, maybe two or three months." Zhao Zhengdao.
"Where do you want to go after you leave?"
"Go to a place that I am very familiar with but haven't been to for a long time. There... I should be able to meet a lot of old friends." Zhao Zheng looked fascinated. In fact, he was not very familiar with Qibao County. He used to work in Qibao County.
In "Riding Horses", he started his career in another world, where he was born. He knows almost everything there, there are many things he can do, and he can seize the opportunity step by step and reap a lot of benefits.
"If you don't mind it, I am willing to serve you in front of you in the morning and evening, so that you don't have to wait on you on the road." Ma An said seriously.
"I accept your wishes, but there is no need. I don't need you to wait on me. Before I leave, I will make arrangements for your family. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, and I will definitely give you a good sum of money."
Amount of settlement allowance." Zhao Zhengnian patted Ma An on the shoulder in a mature manner.
"Sir, you helped our family get out of trouble, so please let me stay by your side. Even if you let me be your slave, I will be willing to do so," Ma An said.
Zhao Zheng's mind remained unchanged and he rejected Ma An's request, then took out a porcelain pot and handed it to Ma An's hand, which contained the newly refined elixir he had this time.
More than an hour later, Zhao Zheng said goodbye to Ma An's family, left the Xuanzi room, and walked out of the Fu'an Inn. It was already afternoon, and he was unwilling to rush in the dark. He planned to return to the local compound and stay overnight tomorrow.
Yao then set off back to Hongchen Inn.
He walked briskly down the street, walking farther and farther, completely unaware of the ghostly person following him behind him.
... Zhou Chen fiddled with the money in his hands and walked towards Zhang Yuanwai's home with a cheerful face, planning to meet the other two partners. He was in a pretty good mood today because he had already made a plan
Breakthrough progress, after many
I came here to investigate and found out that he had identified an individual who was suspected to be the boss behind the scenes. This individual was probably the supplier of the elixir.
I don’t know if there has been any progress on the other two, but it would be better if there was.
Selling Tiger Strength and Yang Pills is a big business. If you can win this business, you will definitely make a fortune.
Zhou Chen was very concerned about this deal because he never had enough money to spend. If he could spend money like water, he had to make money like water.
He arrived at Zhang Yuanwai's home on time, sat down with the other two partners, and talked about the results of their respective investigations. He was relatively calm, and first asked the two to report the progress, and then talked about it.
his own major discovery.
"My two cronies have been guarding the Fu'an Inn these days. Whenever someone comes in or out of the room named Xuan, they will follow them and follow them. Just the day before, they met another suspicious person who came in and out of the room named Xuan.
.This person is young, only around 16 or 7 years old, so he shouldn’t need to take pills like Huli Zhuang*yang Pill. In addition, he stayed in Ma An’s room for a long time, talking to other people who were buying medicine.
They are completely different. After this young man left, my cronies immediately followed him and found out his identity." Zhou Chen said excitedly.
"Who is he?" Zhang Yuanwai's eyes lit up and he asked.
"His name is Zhao Zheng, and he is the younger brother of the female shopkeeper of Hongchen Inn. He has some martial arts skills, and his sister Shen Luoxia has reached the fourth level of Yao realm and should not be underestimated. Considering their local foundation
They should be capable of refining tiger power to strengthen yang, so the suspicion is very high. I plan to conduct an in-depth investigation of their siblings to see if there is an alchemy furnace in the Hongchen Inn, or if there are any channels to purchase elixirs.
." After Zhou Chen finished speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"I've heard of Shen Luoxia. Her martial arts skills are quite high, and she has a lot of friends in the world. She knows both the black and white circles, and she even has connections in the yamen. She is really someone who is not easy to mess with." On the other side.
Mr. Luo said with a solemn face.
"Brother Luo is overly worried. I don't plan to provoke this gangster for the time being. I just want to investigate the matter clearly first. If the Huli Zhuang Yang Pill really comes from the Hongchen Inn, we will find another way. They are in the Ming Dynasty, and we
In the dark, if the literary ones are not good at martial arts, and if the martial arts are not good at it, then come to Yin, there will always be a way to deal with them." Zhou Chen said confidently.
"Since you said so, it's up to you to investigate the Hongchen Inn. Brother Zhang and I will investigate several other suspects." Luo Yuanwai calmly passed the troublesome matter to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen didn’t take it seriously. Anyway, those who worked the most would get more when the dividends were distributed. He nodded and said with a smile: “Okay. I will set off to the Hongchen Inn tomorrow, find a reason to stay there, and explore this dragon pool and tiger den.”
