"Huh?" Scarface looked at the people lying on the ground in astonishment, "Which hero did this?"
"It was my little brother who did it." Wei Zhuang walked out of the crowd.
Scarface began to frown, and when he saw clearly that it was Wei Zhuang, he showed a strange expression, "So it's you."
After saying that, he looked at the merchants who had left yesterday. Looking at their embarrassed appearance, his scarred face twisted into a grin.
"Hahaha, you idiots, you didn't listen to my good words yesterday, and now your clothes have been stripped off. Do you know you regret it?"
Several merchants immediately lowered their heads and blushed.
Jiang Qingshan shook his head helplessly and begged: "Brother Xia Ke, I didn't understand the people's sentiments when I first arrived here, so I ended up like this. I hope that I will be a good man and keep these friends."
Hearing this, Scarface closed his eyes, pinched his chin and stopped talking.
Jiang Qingshan smiled and took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it over.
So, several people walked happily into the alley.
After entering the yard, several merchants tidied up and began to discuss the next thing.
Everyone thought about it more and more, and decided to report it to the official in the afternoon. However, as soon as they made this suggestion, they were laughed at by Scarface.
"I advise you not to go to all this trouble." Scarface snorted coldly, "Otherwise, the end will be even worse."
Wei Zhuang frowned, feeling something was wrong, "How do you say this?"
"have no idea."
After Scarface finished speaking, he saw Han Jun staring at him with a dark face. His expression froze, he stood up and walked out, muttering, "Don't stare at me. Our big brother is not allowed to tell you. If you have any opinions, please ask." she goes."
After saying that, he walked out quickly, shaking his shoulders.
Several merchants were also a little surprised for a while.
Wei Zhuang returned to his room and thought about what he had experienced in Tianzhou Mansion in the past two days. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that things were not simple.
"Xiao Han, have you ever felt that thieves in Tianzhou Mansion are very rampant today?"
"Well, back to the emperor, I don't understand this humble position - aren't thieves and bandits rampant in this world?"
"It's different." Wei Zhuang shook his head and muttered: "The thieves in the imperial capital are rampant, but they only dare to commit petty thefts. The Li family in Jing'an Prefecture is rampant and has no laws, but they always send a small number of people to pick on vulnerable women. Take action."
"But the thieves in Tianzhou Mansion are different. They are large-scale and organized and will not cover up their actions."
"For example, this morning Scarface actually dared to bring dozens of people out to make peace in broad daylight. Is this something that ordinary thieves can do?"
After hearing this, Han Jun was stunned, and then hesitated: "Your Majesty, this is probably a fight between two gangs, right?"
"Well, the Scarface Knight Gang and the Broadsword Gang that rob merchants." Wei Zhuang paused here, showed a solemn expression, and asked: "But isn't it even weirder?"
"Two gangs are fighting in the street. Aren't they afraid of people from the yamen?"
Han Jun said uncertainly: "Maybe these two gangs suppressed the government office?"
Wei Zhuang shook his head and said slowly: "The Knights' Gang has only sixty people in total. According to this size, including the Broadsword Gang, there are only one hundred and fifty at most."
"Can these people suppress the government office?"
As soon as these words came out, Han Jun took a breath, scratched his head and showed a confused expression.
This question was obviously beyond the scope of his thinking.
Bang bang bang, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Qingshan came, carrying a bottle of wine in his hand.
Wei Zhuang went out and said with a smile: "Brother, are you inviting me to drink?"
Jiang Qingshan chuckled and said, "I'm feeling depressed. I'd like to see you for a few drinks."
The two of them entered the room, placed a few dishes of side dishes, and poured wine.
Wei Zhuang asked first, "Why is my brother so depressed?"
Jiang Qingshan sighed, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He swallowed the wine and made a "tsk" sound.
"Oh, I really didn't expect that I almost lost my life while doing business."
Wei Zhuang comforted him: "People always say that if you survive a disaster, you will have good luck in the future. You will definitely make a fortune in this business!"
"Haha, thank you brother for comforting me. It's all thanks to you that I can survive until now. Come on, let me toast you!"
After saying that, the two of them picked up the wine glasses and drank down the wine in one gulp. Then Jiang Qingshan smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that this business is difficult."
Jiang Qingshan exhaled and said sadly: "I heard that Tianzhou Mansion had a coal mine in recent years, so I wanted to come and explore the way. But in this situation, even if I get the goods, I can't get out of the city."
Wei Zhuang pondered for a moment, "How about I ask Scarface if he is willing to escort him?"
"Haha, thank you for your kindness, brother." Jiang Qingshan smiled and then waved his hand, "But I won't bother you this time. I'm actually here to say goodbye."
"Goodbye?"
"Yeah, this business can't be done. We're going to go back tomorrow."
Wei Zhuang felt a little regretful when he heard this. He and Jiang Qingshan were very close, so he was a little reluctant to let go.
He did not persuade Jiang Qingshan to stay for another two days. After all, he came here for business. This trip was already a loss, and staying any longer would only increase the cost.
At this time, Jiang Qingshan took out a cloth bag and handed it to Wei Zhuang.
Wei Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a straight face, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Jiang Qingshan smiled and said gratefully: "Brother, don't get me wrong. Thanks to you these two days, we have been able to live safely until now. Brother, I want to repay you, but there is no other chance, so I can only use the most direct way as a businessman. .”
Seeing that Wei Zhuang still refused to accept it, he added: "I know you are not short of money and you don't like these things, but I have to give you my heart."
"Of course, life-saving grace is greater than God. If you accept this offer, we won't be settled. I still owe you, and I will pay it back slowly in the future!"
After saying this, Jiang Qingshan stuffed the cloth bag into Wei Zhuang's arms without any explanation.
Quite heavy.
Wei Zhuang looked at the cloth bag, then at Jiang Qingshan's firm eyes, and smiled helplessly.
He raised his wine and said, "I accept my brother's wishes. I respect you, brother. I wish you great wealth and a safe journey!"
After drinking a glass of wine, the two laughed heartily.
After chatting for a while, the two of them parted.
At this moment, a commotion was heard in the alley at the entrance of the courtyard.
The shouting became louder and louder along with the sound of footsteps.
Wei Zhuang opened the door and looked out, his expression immediately serious.
I saw people from several other yards in the alley running out one after another, and the alley was crowded with people for a while.
The vendors hurriedly closed their stalls, and pedestrians on the road also ducked.
Squeak——
The door to the innermost courtyard was pushed open, and the little woman walked out slowly with a sullen face.
There was a knife hanging on her waist.
When he walked to the gate of Wei Zhuang's courtyard, he saw Wei Zhuang looking towards the entrance of the alley.
The little woman frowned and shouted sternly, "Go back quickly!"
Wei Zhuang didn't take it seriously and asked casually: "What's going on?"
"Don't worry about it, just go back!"
