Three hundred and sixtieth chapters willing to take the bait
The tea shop is located just outside the town. It has a pergola, a tea curtain, a table and four benches.
A simple stove separated the boss and the tea guests. White smoke came out from the steamer, with a faint aroma of flour. On the two stoves, in addition to steaming steamed buns, there was also a large copper kettle.
Boil hot water.
The boss didn't expect that he would have guests just as he raised the fire, so he hurriedly apologized: "Please forgive me, I just raised the fire and the water hasn't boiled yet. Please wait a moment, wait a moment!"
"
"What kind of tea do you have here?" Zhao San threw a handful of silver coins on the table, no more, no less, exactly three, two facing up and one facing up.
Generally, small shops like this are just ordinary herbal teas, with no other options at all. Zhao San's question is simply unnecessary. Moreover, the purchase and sale usually involves drinking tea first and then paying. How can there be tea that has not been served?
, just pay the money first.
What's more, in such a small shop, a bowl of tea, even if you order some snacks, will not cost you three silver coins. However, the boss looked at the silver coins on the table, rolled his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Sir, sir.
What kind of tea do you want to drink?”
"Green Dragon Enters the Sea Tea!"
"What water?"
"Water of water!"
"Where did the guest officer come from? He looks strange." The boss suppressed his smile, wiped his hands on the cloth around his waist, and looked at the five people in front of him.
This boss was arranged here by Xu Tianxiong, mainly for the purpose of collecting intelligence. If there is any trouble outside, he can know it as soon as possible, and he can also get first-hand information on any big fish passing by on the river.
This is also the reason why Xu Tianxing has stood in Taihu Lake for so many years. In addition to collecting and feeding back information, this place also has another function. Those who want to fall into the trap must first report here.
Over the years, the boss has also developed a pair of discerning eyes, and no monster or ghost can escape his eyes. He looked closely and saw that except for the scholar-looking man, the other five people were injured and covered with calluses, especially the index finger.
and the tiger's mouth, and the head is slightly tilted to the right.
This is a habit developed from long-term shooting. People who have such a habit are either soldiers or bandits. Look at these people, sitting there motionless, each with their backs straighter than the other.
No matter how stupid the boss is, he can still tell that these people must be soldiers. So even though Zhao San was right about the incision, the boss still had the foresight to ask one more question.
"We came from the mountains and just escaped." Zhao San tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said unhurriedly: "At this time of the year, life in the mountains is difficult and the crops are not harvesting. So we want to start again.
Find a way out."
The boss squinted his eyes and said with a half-smile: "I don't think these guys are from the mountains, but rather from the town."
The boss and Zhao San said that they came from the mountains, which meant that Zhao San and others were bandits. The people who came from the town meant that Zhao San and others were soldiers, not bandits.
Seeing that he had been seen through, Zhao San's eyes were a little panicked, and his fingers were trembling slightly. The boss was very confident in his eyes. Seeing Zhao San's appearance at this time, he was even more sure of his thoughts.
I couldn't help but feel a bit proud.
You must know that every year, there are countless soldiers who disguise themselves as bandits and sneak into the water stronghold, but he has discovered them one by one. Otherwise, he would not be deeply used by Xu Tianxiong and stay here.
That's five years.
"How did you figure it out?" After Zhao San said this, several other people couldn't hold it any longer and touched their waists. They were ready to take down the boss at any time as long as Zhao San gave the order.
The boss glanced at a few people and showed no fear. He had seen such scenes too many times. Even though he was here alone now, there were already a dozen people ambushing around him, and their guns were pointed at Zhao San and others.
As long as they dare to take action, he will definitely not be the one who dies, so the boss is so confident.
The boss took out a towel, wiped the dust on the table nonchalantly, and said calmly: "Little brother, I think you are not very old, so you should go back and be your soldier. Don't lie in this muddy water.
It’s not good to lose your life.”
Zhao San gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, looking unwilling to do so. The boss smiled and looked at him without saying anything. After all, today was a happy event for the second boss. It would be unlucky to see someone red.
In the past, he had already taken advantage of these people, so he had no intention of talking nonsense to them.
When the boss saw that they still refused to leave, he couldn't help but urge: "Do you have to wait for me to drive you away? Be smart, I don't want to be in trouble today."
Originally, the boss thought that Zhao San should give up because he was so scared. After all, his life was saved. But what the boss didn't expect was that Zhao San actually hugged his head and started crying.
The boss was confused.
"Boss, forget it, let's go, they won't believe us."
"That's right, let's go."
…
While the boss was in a daze, the other four people began to persuade Zhao Sanlai with each other's words. Each of them looked miserable and their voice was sad, which made people look at him.
Zhao San raised his head, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at the four of them and said, "I'm sorry for you, it's me who hurt you. Since Master Xu refuses to take us in, let's go. It's a pity that we will die in the sky."
Got so many treasures.”
As he spoke, Zhao San opened a corner of the package, revealing the golden belongings inside. The boss's eyes immediately straightened up and widened, and a trace of saliva appeared at the corner of his mouth. He had never seen this before in most of his life.
So much gold and silver treasure.
This is just the smallest one. If the others are full, how much will it cost?
Seeing that Zhao San and others were about to leave, the boss hurriedly stopped Zhao San: "Hey, hey, this brother, please stay for now."
"Do you have anything else?" Zhao San turned around, held the package against his chest, and looked at the boss warily.
Under the gazes of several people, the boss looked a little unnatural. He laughed twice and said, "I just heard what you said, and it seems that you have encountered some troubles, right?"
Several people looked at each other, and Zhao San took two steps forward, looked at the boss and said, "What do you want to say?"
The boss smiled and said: "If you guys are in trouble, just tell me, maybe I can help you."
Looking at the boss's smile-like face, Zhao San showed a smile on his lips and thought to himself: "I'm hooked!"
