##

The branch of Su Ji Garment Store recruited a total of [-] master masters, all of whom were recruited by Master Zhao, the shopkeeper of the tailor shop. Of course, not all of these [-] master masters were known by Master Zhao. A master tailor named Qin Dalang introduced by the foreman was hired because of his superb craftsmanship.

This Qin Dalang claimed that his home was in Wuhu City. He was alone and had no family members. He just happened to be recruiting masters at Suji Tailor Shop. The monthly salary was always [-] per month, which made the tailors flock to him who knew about it.

Because Qin Dalang was an old friend with Liu Dacheng, the foreman in the store, although he hadn't seen him for a few years, he was very close when they reunited. When Qin Dalang mentioned this, Liu Dacheng immediately recommended him to the shopkeeper Zhao Dacheng; Shangqin Dalang was good at craftsmanship, so he was hired immediately.

On the night of the seventh day of May, that is, the night when Su Jin got a big scar on his head, two mysterious men came to the inn where Qin Dalang was renting. A small plate of sauced beef was sipping wine with gusto, the door was opened, and two burly men entered without invitation.

"Who are you? How did you break into other people's bedrooms? Xiao Er, Xiao Er." Qin Dalang sternly reprimanded, and at the same time called the shop Xiao Er loudly.

A burly man made a gesture of silencing by pointing to his mouth, and at the same time he seemed to inadvertently lifted his skirt, revealing a bone-cutting sharp knife that was about a foot long and shone with cold light. Keep your mouth shut.

The comer is definitely not kind. How can I, who is used to holding scissors and needlework, challenge this person holding a boning knife?

The shop waiter rushed over upon hearing the sound, leaned in and said, "Guest officer, what do you want me to tell you?"

Qin Dalang looked at the two big men, then glanced at the outlines of the sharp knives around their waists, finally gave up other thoughts, and said in a trembling voice: "Bring me a pot of tea, I have two friends visiting."

Xiao Er repeatedly agreed, and after a while, Pidianpidian came in with a pot of hot tea, put it on the table, and went out after closing the door.

Qin Dalang looked at the two people in front of him, and said with a smile: "Did the two heroes find the wrong person? I, Qin Dalang, have no money, no family, no family, and no enemies. A hero..."

A burly man with a scarred face sat down on the stool, stretched out his hand to interrupt Qin Dalang, and winked at the other burly man. The man went to the door and listened for a while, then suddenly opened the door, and outside There was no one there, so I looked around and closed the door again.

"This is..." Qin Dalang's calf began to twist, to see what he was going to do with this posture.

"Hero, spare your life!" Qin Dalang finally couldn't resist the strong sense of fear in his heart, and suddenly fell to the ground, kowtowing like garlic.

"Your name is Qin Dalang?" The scar-faced man finally spoke, his voice was low and hoarse, and his hairs were standing on end.

"The little one is Qin Dalang. If you have any orders from the hero, just tell me, but I hope the little one will survive." Qin Dalang's face turned pale, and he trembled.

"Get up and talk, as long as you are obedient, it won't hurt your life."

Qin Dalang got up and stood beside him with his waist bowed. The man with the scarred face reached out and took out a cloth bag from his pocket, which was heavy like something yellow and white. He threw it on the table and said, "Here is 50 taels of silver. We ask you for a deposit for the work, and we will give you 100 taels after the work is completed, which is enough for you to marry a wife and set up a house anywhere, and then open a tailor shop."

Qin Dalang was startled and said: "No, no, don't play tricks with the villain, the villain will not dare to take your money for nothing."

The scar-faced man laughed like a night cat: "Don't think about taking you for nothing. If you take our money, you will naturally do things for me. There is no such thing as money for nothing in the world."

Qin Dalang hesitated and said: "This... a villain has no strength to restrain a chicken, and only relies on a tailoring craft to make a living. Other than that, he is useless. How can he help the heroes."

The scar-faced man said: "Don't underestimate yourself, you just came to Luzhou recently? Where do you live?"

"Back to the heroic dialect, I was introduced by a friend to join Suji Tailoring Shop as a master craftsman."

"Very well, this is where your value lies. What you have to do is very simple. Stay in Suji's clothing store, pay attention to Suji's business operations, and disclose Suji's clothing styles to me in advance. The key is It’s time to add fuel to the flames within Su Ji.”

Qin Dalang was dumbfounded, he wanted to be someone else's undercover agent, lurking inside Su Ji to report the news, if this kind of thing leaked out, it would be despised by the world.

"A good man... this... a villain can't do it." Qin Dalang was not stupid enough to agree to this matter. He was originally an honest and responsible person, and such a thing as undercover betrayal never occurred to his mind. , this time someone directly challenged the moral bottom line, so he naturally resisted.

"You mean you'd rather die than do it?" the scar-faced man said indifferently, without the slightest emotion in his voice, but Qin Dalang clearly felt a chill gradually covering his whole body.

"You might as well make it clear that there are still many people we have chosen, and you are the luckiest one. If you don't know how to praise, a cold corpse will appear in this room in this inn tomorrow morning. Who is this corpse? ? Needless to say, you can guess."

Qin Dalang slumped on the ground with a thump, his face was pale, sweat rolled down, his lips were trembling, and he was speechless for a long time.

The two men looked at Qin Dalang's wimpy look, with contempt in his eyes, and the scar-faced man tried his best to use a gentle voice: "It's actually very easy to make a choice, as long as you agree to help us with things, the money will be yours, you It doesn’t matter if you want to take her to drink, to buy property, or to work as a master in a kiln and enjoy the service of girls, it’s up to you.”

Qin Dalang was still hesitating, another big man standing at the side couldn't stand it anymore, lifted his shirt and pulled out the boning knife and said angrily: "Brother, what are you talking about with him? I cut up a pustule from a straight mother thief. His head, we are looking for others."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his left hand to catch Qin Dalang's collar, and the sharp knife in his right hand stabbed towards him in the flash of the light.

Qin Dalang yelled in horror: "Forgive me, forgive me, I will just agree."

The man pinned him to the ground, spit and said: "Damn it, a coward is still pretending to be a good man, and he doesn't eat the toast but eats the fine wine, what a slut."

The scar-faced man smiled and said: "Go to the side, the second child, don't scare him." After finishing speaking, he cupped his fists and arched towards Qin Dalang: "Congratulations, Master Qin, for making the right choice. This matter is settled like this. Don't you bother?" Think about sneaking away or snitching on someone, and once you do that, no one can save you."

Qin Dalang couldn't say a word, and collapsed on the ground panting.

"It's cheap for you!" With a "click", the money bag was thrown in front of Qin Dalang, and the two men got up and left quickly. Qin Dalang sat on the ground, and it took him a long time to wake up from the shock. a nightmare.
