Water Margin people

Chapter 100

"Can there be wine shops in this barren mountain?"

Sun Lei said in disbelief, because they are taking small roads to bypass Gaotang Prefecture, and opening a wine shop requires traffic, and it must be close to the main road. Lonely ghost drinking?

"That's what it is, don't worry about it, go and have a drink or two first!"

The glutton in Lu Zhishen's belly was hooked up and he couldn't bear it anymore, he was about to walk to the wine shop, the wine fan fluttering in the wind seemed to be waving.

"Brother, I'm afraid this barren mountain is not a black shop. There are many black shops in the rivers and lakes. What I like to do most is the business of killing people and stealing goods!"

Ruan Xiaoqi looked at Lu Zhishen and said, although he had never traveled far to see a black shop, he had heard too many rumors in the Jianghu. Sweat medicine and smoke are hard to guard against, so you must be careful when you go out.

"Xiaoqi, you can rest assured that my brother and I are here. On the way to Tokyo, my brother and I also burned down two black shops. Today's shop had better be fine, otherwise Sajia will be another fire!"

Lu Zhishen said indifferently.

"Let's go and have a look."

Sun Lei looked at the wine shop and said, the black shop would not be so obvious.

"Among the three guest officers, please!"

When I arrived at the restaurant, I heard Xiaoer's warm greeting. Although the shop is simple, it is cleaned inside. It is completely opposite to the general black shops. Those who open black shops are cruel and reckless. This kind of people don't really run the business, so they don't care about Wei Wei at all. health.

"First serve a few plates of meat, then three jars of wine, and any fresh melons and fruits."

After Lu Zhishen sat down, he began to order.

"Guest officer later!"

Xiao Er enthusiastically went to the back kitchen to urge the dishes.

"There is business!"

What surprised Sun Lei the most was that there were still many drinkers in this restaurant. How could there be so many people drinking in such a remote place?

"Guest officer, your wine and meat!"

Xiao Er quickly brought up the wine and meat.

"Xiao Er, why is your store so open?"

Sun Lei looked at Xiaoer and asked.

"The guest officer is from outside, right? It's all caused by the high scythe! In the past, Gaotang Prefecture was so lively, and there were countless wine shops on both sides of the official road, but after the high scythe came, he levied cruelly, saying that the wine shops outside the city evaded taxes. , so we ordered that wine shops are not allowed to open on both sides of the official road outside the city, all wine shops must enter the city, and the cost of opening a shop in the city is too high, we have no choice but to open in this remote place that deviates from the official road."

Xiao Er helplessly explained that after hearing Xiao Er's words, other guests in the restaurant also sighed.

"Gao Lian's family doesn't have a single good thing!"

When Lu Zhishen heard his anger welling up, he remembered what happened in Tokyo. All the causes were caused by Gao Lian's family.

Hearing Lu Zhishen's words, the diners who were about to talk just now shut their mouths, complaining that Gao Lian didn't care, but it would be troublesome to scold Gao Lian. Gao Lian, if this word reaches Gao Lian's ears, he will be killed.

"Guest officer, the affairs of this country have nothing to do with me and other ordinary people, so here are some fresh fruits and vegetables!"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper put a plate of fruits and vegetables on the table and said with fists folded.

"My brother monk is outspoken, everyone, don't take it to heart!"

Sun Lei nodded to the shopkeeper and said to the diners, there must be a lot of people scolding Gao Qi, and everyone here is not angry, they just dare not say it, in order to prevent encountering villains It's better to be careful about snitching.

The shopkeeper left with a smile, and the diners stopped looking over, drinking and chatting.

"Why don't you let the Sa family talk about it? Does the Gao family have any good things?"

Lu Zhishen drank a bowl of wine and said angrily.

"What's the use of saying this? If you are capable, why don't you find a chance to kill Gao Qi in Tokyo?"

Sun Lei poured another bowl of wine for Lu Zhishen. Lu Zhishen's temper came up again, so he should drink some wine to suppress himself.

"Master, come, have another bowl!"

Ruan Xiaoqi also tried to persuade him to drink.

After three or five bowls of wine, Lu Zhishen forgot what to say, and started drinking with the jar in his arms.

"Xiao Er, is there a guest room in the back?"

Sun Lei looked at Xiao Er who was shuttling back and forth among the diners and asked, it's getting late now, it must be too late to hurry.

"Guest officer, there is a clean guest room at the back!"

Xiao Er replied with a smile.

"Get us a room!"

Sun Lei threw a broken piece of silver over.

"Okay, one room!"

Xiaoer happily caught the silver and shouted.

"Let's go to rest after eating almost, we have to hurry tomorrow!"

Seeing that Lu Zhishen and Ruan Xiaoqi had finished eating, Sun Lei got up and said, the two naturally had no objections, and the three of them went to the back hall under Xiao Er's leadership.

Just after the three of Sun Lei left, a short, skinny man in the corner of the lobby quietly slapped a row of copper coins on the table and got up to pay the bill. He just glanced at the back hall and went straight out of the restaurant.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Er shouted a few times in the yard, "The sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the fire and candles", which meant that the business was closed.

"Is brother still asleep?"

Ruan Xiaoqi looked at Sun Lei who was not asleep and asked, Lu Zhishen was lying on the wooden bed and fast asleep.

"Lights out and sleep!"

Sun Lei yawned and nodded. He took out a pebble in his hand and extinguished the flame of the oil lamp. This is a special skill he has practiced for a long time. almost.

In the whole restaurant, only one lantern at the door was still on, showing that this was a restaurant according to the front of the wine shop.

"It should be that person, just go in and have a look."

A short and thin figure in black looked at the wine shop and murmured. After speaking, he climbed up the big tree next to the courtyard wall and jumped, and fell lightly into the courtyard. He rolled on the ground without making much noise.

Sun Lei is a bit obsessed with the bed, and sleeps very lightly in an unfamiliar place. Today, the guest room in this restaurant is simple and rudimentary. The bed is just a wooden board, covered with straw, and covered with a sheet.

Although the sudden movement in the yard was slight, it was still very obvious in this silent night, except of course Lu Zhi's deep snoring.

"Someone?"

Sun Lei narrowed his eyes slightly, but the person didn't move, ready to see what that person was going to do.

"Squeak!"

There was a squeaking sound of mice, as if mice were running in the yard.

"interesting."

Sun Lei laughed inwardly, this man is pretending to be a mouse.

"It can't be that person!"

Sun Lei thought of Shiqian, the number one thief in the Water Margin, who used the cry of a mouse as a cover when he stole Xu Ning's family's Yanling Circle Golden Armor.

A very thin sharp knife pierced through the crack of the door, and slowly approached the door bolt upwards, and after encountering obstacles, gently flipped the door bolt open.

The door was silently pushed open a crack, but the wooden door did not make a "squeak". A short and thin figure flashed into the room, and then quickly closed the door.

"Shiqian, you have the guts, are you trying to assassinate me?"

Sun Lei's voice suddenly sounded in the dark room. Shi Qian was squatting on the ground, but when he heard Sun Lei's words, he was so startled that he huddled up and fell to the ground, like a mouse trying to find a crack in the ground.
