my girlfriend is a banshee

Chapter 1288 Book Treasurer

"Hey, isn't this Xingyun patrol?"

Just when the three of them were thinking about each other, a high-pitched voice suddenly broke in. Cheng Fengling Feifei and Xingyun couldn't help but stop. Qiqi followed the voice and saw a demon in a white robe walking along. Come and talk.

I saw that this monster was tall and thin. At first glance, it seemed to be no different from a bamboo pole. His hair was tied into a golden headband. On his slender face, there were a pair of eight-character eyebrows and two mustaches. The straight eyes, in Cheng Feng's view, are simply a standard 'little man' configuration.

Not only that, but there are several gold teeth inlaid in the mouth of this demon, which are very dazzling as they open and close as they speak.

Seeing this, Cheng Feng couldn't help frowning, and seeing that the other party had come to his side from far and near, he began to look carefully.

This demon's white gown is of high quality, and it is one of the best among the demon people who come and go. The skirt and cuffs are also embroidered with gold thread patterns, which is even more distinctive. Cheng Feng is most concerned about the clothes. bottom.

I saw the most colorful pattern on the robe at the ankle, as if some monsters gathered together... Cheng Feng finally recognized what species it was after looking at it for a long time, it turned out to be a mouse!

Although they are mice, they are not ordinary rats. Their bodies are shining golden, as gorgeous as flames, and their mouths seem to spit fireballs, so Cheng Feng thinks it should be some kind of flame rat demon.

But no matter what it is, Cheng Feng finally knows why this monster looks so stingy, because its nature is hard to change!

Ling Feifei was also looking sideways at the rat monster in front of Cheng Feng, her eyes were full of curiosity, they had been walking in Nandeng Lane for a while, but few monsters dared to come forward to talk to them, this The guy is a bit unusual.

I don't know who the other party is from, is it possible that he is so familiar with Xing Yun?
In this way, Cheng Feng and Ling Feifei watched silently behind Xingyun.

"I thought it was who it was. It turned out to be the book shopkeeper. I said that in Nandenggan Lane, no one would dare to stop Ben Xun casually, that is, you dare to do so."

Xingyun stopped when he heard the other party's yell, squinted at the monster who was rushing over, and then turned his head to sneer, as if he really knew the monster very well, but he didn't take it seriously .

Cheng Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, book shopkeeper?Haha...Could it be that the rat demon changed the rat into a book in order to improve his grade?Really talented, talented!
"Hey Xingyun inspector, what are you talking about, I recently made some new little toys, and I was thinking of paying tribute to you!"

The bookkeeper immediately showed an exaggerated smile when he heard this, and his golden front teeth became even more glaring. Following the movements of the mustache, he continued to speak obsequiously, but lowered his tone for the last two sentences.

It's as if you don't want others to know, or it's not appropriate to make it public.

In fact, Cheng Feng's guess is close to ten. This bookkeeper is indeed a flaming rat monster whose attribute is fire. He has lived in this imperial capital since he was a child, and Nandenggan Lane in Qingyu Prefecture is the "hometown" of this mouse monster. .

He is very familiar with every plant and tree here, and even opened a 'Book Cloud Pawnshop' here.

He is slick and sophisticated, and he is very familiar with every Nandeng street patrol, Xingyun is no exception, and the reason why he can get so close to these monster soldiers is because he understands that if you don't pay, you won't get rewards. reason.

That is to give these demon soldiers some benefits from time to time. As the saying goes, even the harshest demon soldiers will be difficult to parry for a long time, and they will naturally treat him differently, not to mention these people have no principles Patrolman?

But his book shopkeeper is not the kind of monster who would do business at a loss. He has always used the money of the imperial capital for his life, so how could he really pay benefits to please the soldier?Naturally, these oils and waters were deducted from the monsters in Nandeng Street and Lane.

Although the life of the demon people in the imperial capital is better than that of the cities outside, they will be divided into different classes everywhere, and there will be three disasters and eight disasters everywhere, so at this time his Shuyun pawn shop is where the demons exchange things and imperial capital coins. important place.

The eloquent and cunning bookkeeper strategized in this pawnshop, and naturally made a lot of money. He can be said to be a big merchant in this Nandenggan Lane.

"Ahem... It's true that I haven't visited your Shuyun pawn shop for a long time. It's dry and hot now, so it's not good if it catches fire!"

Hearing that Xingyun was slightly taken aback, he quickly covered it up with a cough. He first looked around slowly, and then he pretended to be serious and spoke loudly, as if he was really worried about the safety of his pawn shop.

He has patrolled the streets of Nandenggan Lane for so long, so he naturally knows what the other party means by 'filial piety'.

Speaking of which, from the day he visited the place by himself, the book shopkeeper has been flattering and flattering him constantly, which annoyed him at first, but later when the other party brought out some treasures, it made him smile.

There are quite a few monsters on this street who are in awe of Xingyun, but there are not many who are as sensible as the book shopkeeper... It may be because everyone is not very enlightened, and another important reason is the strict system.

In the imperial capital, the monster people and monster soldiers are never allowed to give and receive in private. It is understandable to have a good relationship with ordinary people, but if there is a bribe, the party who accepts or gives the bribe will be taken back to the barracks, and the consequences will be disastrous.

It is precisely because of this that these demon people basically dare not do this, and everyone seems to have nothing to ask the demon soldiers, so they all do things honestly.

And these patrolling soldiers have gradually accepted the fact that they are doing their duties bored, but there is nothing to gain... But some people will break the rules in the end, and the book shopkeeper is such a monster.

The benefits from time to time at this time made Xing Yun very happy, and naturally he was quite merciful to the book shopkeeper.

You must know that the business of this pawn shop is not only from some demon people, but also from petty theft demons. They give these things to the pawnshop to exchange them for Imperial Capital Coins, or exchange the stolen Imperial Capital Coins for treasures.

In fact, according to the system of the imperial capital, pawnshops are not allowed to accept such things, and all pawned items must have proof information, but how can the shopkeeper give up such a business?Naturally, all comers are welcome.

Those ghosts who lost their things found their belongings in the pawnshop and told Xingyun that they should have taken the bookkeeper back for interrogation, etc., but Xingyun turned a blind eye to them and passed them by.

Not only that, but when the demon people want to redeem their own things, the book shopkeeper sits on the ground and raises the price to make people jaw-dropping, or exchanges fakes for real, etc... In short, there are many ghosts like Xingyun who sue the book shopkeeper on weekdays.

It is enough to see that the shopkeeper of this book is really a complete profiteer.

It stands to reason that Xingyun, who is the main demon in Nandenggan Lane, should punish him well, but he has received a lot of benefits from the book shopkeeper, and he doesn't want to lose this fixed cash cow, so he ignores it .

After a long time, the demon people here also gradually understood the rules, so they had no choice but to give up.

Cheng Feng and Ling Feifei saw that Xingyun didn't seem to want to continue patrolling, and even wanted to go to the pawnshop with the bookkeeper. They were a little puzzled. Although they both saw that the bookkeeper didn't seem to be a good person, the background behind it was Also do not know.

"The book shopkeeper is getting close to that Xingyun patrol set again!"

"Hey, this is not a common thing. The book shopkeeper is almost becoming the head of Nandenggan Lane."

"They are rich and powerful, unlike our small business."

……

Just when Cheng Feng and the two were a little confused, they heard the vendors around them start whispering again. Perhaps it was because Xing Yun and the book shopkeeper were chatting enthusiastically, so they didn't hear these gossips, but Cheng Feng and Ling Feifei did. Hear these words clearly.

The tones of these street vendors were sour and jealous, and some even mixed with some resentment. In short, they were full of sarcasm and eccentricity. Although they seemed to be familiar with the scene, they all cast their eyes in unison.

However, there is a reason for this. Most of them have been bullied by the shopkeeper of the book, and have been squeezed by him because of pawning things. soldier.

Because of his leniency towards the book shopkeeper, the book shopkeeper became more and more unscrupulous. However, there is only one pawnshop in Nandenggan Lane, and any newly opened pawnshops are suppressed early in the morning, so it is really hard to say.

So in everyone's eyes, neither Xingyun nor the bookkeeper seemed to be a good thing, but because pawning was not a daily thing, they just swallowed it.

This is also why everyone is afraid when they see Xingyun, because the demon villagers and street vendors know very well that this Xingyun is not a kind demon soldier, or it is not a demon who can uphold justice for them. Don't provoke it.

"It turns out that's the case. I just thought that the book shopkeeper didn't look like a good person, but I didn't expect that he was really a troublemaker."

After hearing these words, Ling Feifei couldn't help but suddenly realized. From these scattered words, she gradually pieced together the virtues of the bookkeeper. Sure enough, her sixth sense was very accurate, this monster is not a good thing!

Then he sent a voice transmission to Cheng Feng who was beside him, and kept looking back and forth at the book shopkeeper, as if he knew a little more about this monster.

It seems that the relationship between the book shopkeeper and Xingyun seems to be very good, at least better than the street vendors here. Just now she wondered, it seems that no monster dared to come forward to talk casually, but this mouse monster can. It turns out that there is a reason for it what.

And from everyone's point of view, this seems to be a very common thing, that is to say, Xingyun and the book shopkeeper have not been together for a day or two, it seems that the filial piety in the mouth of the other party has a deep meaning.
