Chapter 36 Pickpockets
"Brother Zeng, Brother Ding, Brother Yuan, let's go, let's go to the blacksmith shop."

After greeting Zeng Yu, Ding Dian and Yuan Chengzhi, Zhao Ji walked straight in one direction.

Earlier, Zhao Ji had already memorized the location of the blacksmith's shop. Now, without Zeng Yu leading the way, he could find it by himself.

At this time, the flow of people in the town has not decreased but increased, and those who are relatively wealthy and have real purchasing power will not come early in the morning.

As there are many people in the town, one profession must be very active, that is pickpocketing. I don't know whether Zhao Ji's luck is good or bad, but he actually met him.

When he was pushing forward against the crowd, Zhao Ji felt that a hand was stretching into his pocket, and immediately he realized that he had met a pickpocket.

His right hand stuck out like a poisonous snake out of a hole, and before that hand was still hovering around the pocket, Zhao Ji had already grabbed it.

"Little brother, what are you doing? If you don't learn well at a young age, if you come out to be a pickpocket, you will have no future."

The owner of that hand was a boy about fifteen or six years old, the immature color on his face had not completely faded, Zhao Ji couldn't help frowning when he saw it.

"What kind of pickpocket, brother, have you made a mistake? I'm just passing by. Why are you grabbing my hand? It hurts me so much."

After struggling a few times, seeing that he couldn't break free at all, but felt a pain in his wrist, the young man's face changed slightly, and he yelled in extreme dissatisfaction.

"Little brother, if you make a mistake, you should admit it. If you try to lie to get past it, it's not a mistake, so you should repent."

With an unchanging faint smile on his face, Zhao Ji began to teach earnestly like a holy priest who persuades lost lambs.

"Brother, who are you? Why do you teach me? I can do whatever I want, why don't you meddle in other people's business like meddling with rats. Get your stinky hands away quickly. Do you know who I am? I'm from the Tiger Martial Arts Academy Student, believe it or not, if I yell, dozens of people will come out and beat you until your mother doesn't even recognize you."

The young man showed extreme impatience, pretending to be a leading brother, patted Zhao Ji's shoulder with his other free hand, and said in a calm manner.

"Hmph, you don't learn well at such a young age."

Frowning slightly, Zhao Ji's hand trembled slightly, only to hear a "click", and the boy's right arm was dislocated immediately.

"By the way, judging by your skillful techniques, it shouldn't be the first time you've been a pickpocket. You must have gained a lot of windfall money. Why don't you contribute a little and let me spend it. If you have money, everyone can spend it."

While making sarcastic remarks, Zhao Ji quickly took off a colorful red envelope hanging from the boy's waist, and it felt a little heavy in his hands.

"Ah, my arm is broken, how dare you break my arm and rob me of my money, you, you are dead, I must kill you."

The young man screamed miserably, as if his parents had died, cold sweat dripping down his painful face, coupled with that angry and fierce expression, he looked extraordinarily ferocious.

"Boy, you still dare to threaten me. If you don't get out, I'll break your other arm too, so that you can't even be a one-armed man."

His complexion suddenly sank, Zhao Ji said viciously.

Knowing how powerful Zhao Ji is, the young man was faintly afraid of him, his face sank, he was startled immediately, and while running away quickly, he yelled: "You, you wait , don’t run if you have the ability, I will let you know how powerful it is.”

After the words fell, the boy's figure had disappeared, but facing his threat, Zhao Ji just smiled disapprovingly, and didn't take it seriously.

Back then, when Zhao Ji was performing missions as a special soldier, Zhao Ji had faced many threats from dandies, and even encountered a lot of retaliation, but he took care of them all, let alone a dozen or so who were obviously a gangster. The threat of a furry child.

"Come on, let's go to the blacksmith shop."

Weighing the purse in his hand, it felt quite heavy, Zhao Ji was in a good mood, and greeted Zeng Yu and the three of them.

Walking forward beside Zhao Ji, Zeng Yu said hesitantly: "Brother Zhao, you broke the arm of that half-sized guy just now, it's not good, it will cause trouble." .”

"Brother Zeng, don't worry, I will take care of any troubles, and I won't bring the village into trouble. Besides, I didn't break that kid's arm, I just dislocated him."

Zhao Ji said lightly.

"Brother Zhao, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not afraid of things, but I think you're a little bit harsh. Now that I know it's a dislocation, I'm relieved. After all, the child did not commit an unforgivable crime."

When Zhao Ji's words fell, Zeng Yu quickly explained.

In Zeng Yu's heart, he may not have blamed Zhao Ji for being too aggressive and causing trouble indiscriminately, but he was even more unwilling to hate Zhao Ji, so he hurriedly explained.

"I know, Brother Zeng doesn't need to explain."

Zhao Ji said noncommittally.

After exchanging a few words, the group of people had arrived in front of a blacksmith's shop, and the four of them walked in without stopping, with a little heat blowing towards their faces.

This is a small shop, the walls and counters are full of iron products, from daily necessities such as kitchen knives, spatulas, iron pans, to weapons used by warriors.

As soon as he entered, Zhao Ji's attention was immediately cast on those weapons. Although there are not all kinds of weapons here, there are still some common weapons.

Walking to a wall, there are many long swords hanging on the wall. The styles of long swords are various and different, some are a little ordinary in appearance, and some are quite dazzling.

"Several, what do you need, or I can introduce you."

A short young man dressed as a clerk greeted him and said to Zhao Ji and the others.

"We need to buy some weapons, do you have anything to introduce?"

Turning around, Zhao Ji said.

"Excuse me, what kind of weapons do you need, knives, guns, swords, and halberds?"

Dude ask again.

Zhao Ji replied: "I need a sword, do you have any good sword here?"

"We have all kinds of swords with different shapes here. In fact, there are only two kinds of them. They are ordinary iron swords, which are worth one tael of silver; the other is refined iron swords, which are worth ten taels of silver."

He took two swords from different areas on the wall, and the staff handed them to Zhao Ji together, and said enthusiastically, "You can take a closer look and decide which sword to buy."

In the blacksmith shop, the value of the ironware used in daily life and the weapons used by warriors is not in the same order of magnitude. A sword costs at least one tael of silver, while a kitchen knife only needs a dozen or so copper coins. .
