A knife in love

Chapter 1205

Shopkeeper Bai stood aside with his head bowed, originally he was very calm in his heart.He thought to himself that among the shopkeepers on board, if talking about cleverness, shopkeeper Hu would be the first, followed by shopkeepers Song and Yin.In terms of being eloquent and eloquent, shopkeepers Ji and Luo are also above me.No matter how Xiao Dong chooses, it is not his turn to go ashore to inquire about news.Therefore, shopkeeper Song and others were all worried, but shopkeeper Bai was quite calm, even a little gloating, and wanted to see which shopkeeper was unlucky and would be picked by Xiao Dong.

It’s just that shopkeeper Bai never expected that shopkeeper Yin would force him to go ashore to inquire about news, so shopkeeper Yin’s voice fell, shopkeeper Bai was extremely shocked at first, his mouth opened wide, and he stared at shopkeeper Yin in a daze.After a while, he suddenly woke up, and immediately became furious, jumped three feet high, pointed at shopkeeper Yin and began to curse.

At the beginning, shopkeeper Bai scolded shopkeeper Yin, but only scolded him for being cowardly, retreating from battle, and not enough friends.After scolding, he pointed out that shopkeeper Yin is a despicable person.In the business of medicinal materials, large scales are used to buy and small scales are used to sell.Even when doing business with shopkeepers Hu, Song, Ji, and Luo, they tried their best to use some nasty means, defrauding everyone of a lot of money.

Shopkeeper Yin is also very cunning.Seeing Xiao Dong looking at him, he only thought that Xiao Dong would force him to go ashore to inquire about news.Among the shopkeepers, shopkeeper Hu has good friends with him, but among the shopkeepers, shopkeeper Hu has the most financial resources, and he has a lot of things in his hands, so he can't afford to mess with him.Although shopkeeper Luo and shopkeeper Ji are not friendly with him, but I heard that shopkeeper Luo's cousin is a master in Jiangxi governor's yamen, and is quite powerful.Doing the medicinal material business by myself, there are many customers in Jiangxi, and shopkeeper Luo must not offend.Shopkeeper Ji’s brother-in-law is the magistrate of Wuwei County, Quanzhou Prefecture. He just gave Shopkeeper Ji 300 taels of silver a few months ago and entrusted him to hand it over to the magistrate, hoping to get his care so that he can open a shop in Wuwei County. pharmacy.If he offended shopkeeper Ji, the 300 taels of silver would be wasted.After thinking about it, only shopkeeper Bai was as friendly as himself, so he gritted his teeth and strongly recommended shopkeeper Bai to Xiao Dong, hoping that Xiao Dong would let him go.At this time, when shopkeeper Bai yelled at him, shopkeeper Yin would not be reconciled, so he also sneered back.The two were in a state of desperation, and they continued to speak obscenities, which made people's expressions change.

The two were evenly matched in scolding at the beginning, but shopkeeper Yin's ears had been cut off and his injuries hadn't healed. Later, when he moved his mouth, the wounds on both ears were affected, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.As a result, shopkeeper Yin gradually fell into a disadvantage.Shopkeeper Bai saw that Shopkeeper Yin could only return one of the three sentences, and knew that his injury had flared up, so he took advantage of this opportunity to completely suppress him, so he became more energetic and scolded him even harder.In the end, shopkeeper Yin's ear wounds burst open, and blood seeped out from the white cloth covering the wound.Shopkeeper Yin had a splitting headache, his face was pale, and he could hardly speak. He could only allow Shopkeeper Bai to insult him, and he was powerless to refute.

Seeing that the two of them were making a scene, Xiao Dong frowned and said: "Both of you are respectable people, talking like this is a big disgrace, just keep your mouths shut!"

Shopkeeper Yin wished to stop scolding, hearing what Xiao Dong said, he just fell off the donkey, so he shut up and stopped talking.Shopkeeper Bai kept on chattering, speaking rudely.Xiao Dong stared at him, and shopkeeper Bai was staring intently at him, his heart trembled, and he reluctantly closed his mouth.

Xiao Dong snorted, and said in his mouth: "Everything is useless when something happens. It's impossible to count on a few shopkeepers to contribute."

If it were a normal day, Xiao Dong said so, all the shopkeepers would definitely be patted on their chests and want to do their best for Xiao Dong.It's just that when life and death are at stake, everyone is making their own calculations, how can anyone be willing to stand up?Therefore, after Xiao Dong finished speaking, all the shopkeepers drooped their eyes in embarrassment, and no one answered.

Seeing the appearance of the crowd, Xiao Dong felt annoyed, and was about to force the shopkeepers to disembark to inquire about the news, but he heard Qin Laowu say: "Master Xiao, the shopkeepers were in danger last night in front of the Huixian Building, maybe The accomplices of the people in Tsing Yi are still nearby. If the storekeepers meet them, I’m afraid they will be in danger. Why don’t I get off the boat and go for a walk, and after I find out clearly, I’ll come back and report to Lord Xiao.”

Xiao Dong didn't expect Qin Lao Wu to be willing to go to inquire about the news, which was quite unexpected.So he glanced at Qin Laowu, and said in his mouth: "Brother Qin volunteered, but Xiao was very surprised. But you have also been to Wangjiazhuang just now. If those people in Tsing Yi chase you, how will Brother Qin deal with himself?"

Xiao Dong didn't pay much attention to Qin Laowu at first, and always called him "boatman", which seemed to be respectful, but actually regarded him as an ordinary boatman.At this time, he changed the name of Qin Laowu to "brother", which revealed a sense of affection.

Qin Laowu said: "Lord Xiao, don't worry. I fought with those Zhuang Ding just now. These people are just relying on brute force, not advanced martial arts. Even if they chase them, it's no big deal. What's more, in broad daylight Underneath, there are people coming and going on the pier. No matter how rampant these people are, they dare not kill people here. If someone really wants to embarrass me, I turn around and leave. I don’t think they will chase. Even if they want to chase, I’m afraid it may not be Can catch up."

When Qin Lao Wu said this, he paused for a while, glanced at Li Qiufeng, and then continued: "What's more, Mr. Xiao and Mr. Zhu are both on board, and they are both strong in martial arts. If those people chase here, it will be their own Looking for a way to die."

Qin Lao Wu gave Xiao Dong another top hat with his words.Xiao Dong was very happy, he smiled, and said: "Brother Qin is right. Since brother is willing to go, that is the best. Don't worry, brother, Xiao will never treat you badly. You handed over to Wei Erbao last night. 30 taels of silver, after Xiao Mou gets it back from Wei Erbao, the money will still be yours! After we finish this transaction, there must be another big thank you."

Qin Laowu volunteered, but he had other plans.He had fought against Zhuang Ding of Wangjiazhuang, and he knew that these people were only relying on brute force, not martial arts.And when they were fighting, they had no experience in battle formation at all.One person is enough to deal with three or four Zhuang Ding.What's more, Xiao Dong and Li Qiufeng were on the boat, even if the enemy attacked heavily, as long as he could escape to the side of the boat, Xiao and Li would naturally deal with the enemy.In this way, I can find a way to get back the deposit of 30 taels of silver.At this time, Xiao Dong promised to give him 30 taels of silver back, and there will be other rewards after the matter is completed, which fell into Qin Laowu's arms.He backed off a few words, and asked a boatman to find a wooden stick with a thick bowl mouth, and then said goodbye to everyone, and got off the boat with the wooden stick.

Xiao Dong, Zhang Shi and Li Qiufeng walked to the bow of the boat, and after seeing Qin Laowu come ashore, they first stopped a passerby and said a few words to him.The passer-by shook his head and walked away on his own.Qin Laowu stopped several people one after another, and these people only said a few words to him, and then left.Qin Laowu shook his head helplessly, then turned to look at the ship.Seeing Xiao Dong and others standing at the bow of the boat, he stretched out his right hand and waved at them a few times, then walked towards the east end of the pier.

Zhang Shi said to Xiao Dong: "It seems that these passers-by don't know the situation in Motianling. Lao Qin has no choice but to go outside the pier to find out the news."

Xiao Dong said in a deep voice: "Based on what Wei Erbao said, Motianling must be very famous in Dongliao County. Although these people shook their heads, how could they know that they didn't hide it on purpose? Anyway, there must be something strange about Motianling. Let's steal wood tonight, and we must be careful."

After listening to Xiao Dong's words, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, this person can be regarded as quite scheming, not an arrogant person who only knows how to bluff.It's just that he wants to go to Motianling by himself, which is a bit difficult.If he met Murong Qiushui, seeing that he broke his oath, he would definitely look down on him even more.But if he doesn't go, Xiao Dong will definitely turn against him.What can I do?

Li Qiufeng thought about it for a while, then he thought again, Mr. Murong went far outside the customs just to find Miss Murong.Right now, it seems that Miss Murong is probably not in Dongliao County.Mr. Murong is eager to find a girl, so he definitely won't delay in Dongliao County, he might have already left by now.Even if he was still in Dongliao County, he was only searching in the city.Tonight, Xiao Dong, Qin Laowu and I sneaked up to Motian Ridge, the night is dark, and we are on the mountain, we will definitely not meet Mr. Murong.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng finally let go of his heart.It's just that at this moment, suddenly there was a commotion behind him, but shopkeeper Hu and the others started arguing again for some unknown reason.
