The black shop owner had a huge bulge on his head when Li Shun pushed the door and hit him. His face was pale and he brought Li Shun to a stone door with dense copper nails.
Li Shun ordered.
"Open the door."
The shopkeeper took out a bunch of silver keys from his waist, found one of them, and opened the big lock on the door. Two guards pushed open the heavy stone door and shined a torch inside, revealing a large warehouse.
Silk, color, satin, silk, food, and all kinds of materials are all available. Li Shun checked it subconsciously and said.
"Besides these things, what about the bank? Where is the bank?"
The shopkeeper's trembling reply
"Inside."
The guard raised the torch and tried to go inside, but Li Shun stopped him.
"Be careful of open flames and hold a lamp."
Ruo hurriedly went to the counter and brought the kerosene lamp over. Li Shun poked the shopkeeper Hei in the waist with the tip of his sword. He screamed and then obediently opened another lock and entered a smaller warehouse, pointing at a A very sturdy cabinet.
"The food and money are in it."
When the shop owner fumbled to open the cabinet, there were fine wares, silver ingots of different shapes, and many gold and silver jewelry arranged in layers. Although the scale and quantity could not be compared with that of a single mutual insurance company, it was still a dazzling array and a considerable number.
Then Li Shun ordered people to escort the shopkeeper and the captured clerk to the bank. The last wave of people in Yang Jian's team also drove the baggage truck over, so Li Shun gave the order.
"Move all the treasures and valuable materials in the warehouse to the car."
The guy moved for a while and yelled.
"There are too many things. How can I move them?"
Li Shun continued.
"Go and see if there are any carriages or horses in the stables."
After the things in the warehouse were arranged, Li walked into the dining room and saw that there were four dishes and one soup prepared for him and Yang Jian on the table. Together with the owner, there were 9 people escorted into the dining room, 3 of them were injured and one was injured. The wound from Li Shun's sword was still bleeding.
The other two were injured by Yang Jian's whistle stick. Li Shun sat down at the dining table and asked the guards to bandage the wounds of the bleeding wounded.
According to the owner's dictation.
"We have been running a hotel in the town for many years. Due to the chaos of war and the lack of smooth flow of merchants, there were not many merchants staying in the hotel and they could not make money. So we had no choice but to take risks and try to steal money."
At first, they only targeted single wealthy businessmen. After several successes, they became more and more courageous. Today, he did not want to take in this group of passers-by who looked like soldiers. When he saw Li Shun take action, he took out 10 coins as a deposit, so the shop owner started a robbery. The heart of wealth.
They put Mongolian sweat medicine in the soup to numb the four soldiers first, but the remaining two men and two women refused to submit.
While Li Shun was listening to their explanation, he was thinking about how to deal with this group of evil-doing guys. Hearing this, Li Shun came up with a plan and interrupted the shop owner, pointing to a large bowl of steaming soup on the table.
"So, this bowl of soup was also filled with sweat medicine by you?"
The shopkeeper looked at Li Shun with horrified eyes and nodded.
Li Shun asked the guard to take a rice bowl and put it on the table. He used a spoon to scoop out a spoonful of soup from the bowl and said to the shopkeeper.
"Drink this bowl of soup for us."
The shopkeeper knelt on the ground and kowtowed in fear.
"Military Lord, please spare your life. Our brother is also a soldier. He is the founding general. Otherwise, we wouldn't have the guts to open a hotel in Panlong Town."
"Pooh."
Li Shun spit on the ground and continued.
"General Kaifuyi is a member of the imperial court. How can he tolerate his brothers doing such dirty things?" -
"If you don't believe me, you can ask them."
The shopkeeper pointed his finger at a few guys kneeling on the ground and said.
"If you don't believe them, you can ask the people in the town."
"How dare you threaten us with General Kaifu."
"Young ones don't dare."
"Damn you, I'm a real hero in Wu, but I'm afraid of his father's idiot general."
Li Shun drew his sword and stabbed the black shopkeeper in the back of the heart. He heard a scream and the shopkeeper fell to the ground and a stream of blood spurted out from his back.
The deputy shop owner shouted in horror as he watched his partner die tragically under Li Shun's sword.
"If you kill the shop owner, General Kaifu will definitely not let you off lightly."
Li Shun glared at the deputy shop owner with burning eyes.
"He is indispensable on the road to hell. Go and accompany him."
After that, Li Shun stabbed the deputy shopkeeper to death with another sword.
Another group of waiters were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy. Li Shun pointed at the waiter who had just wrapped the wound.
"Get up, sit down, we have something to say to you."
The waiter didn't know what Li Shun was going to do next and had to obey the order. He timidly sat down at the table designated by Li Shun.
Li Shun asked, pointing to the soup bowl.
"Will it kill you if you drink this soup?"
The guy shook his head.
"You'll be fine after just one night's sleep. "
"OK."
Li Shundao.
"A hero in the narrow sense only wants money and does not harm his life. Just give us this bowl of soup and we will make sure you are fine!!"
Speaking of this, the waiter drank the bowl of soup in one breath without any hesitation. After finishing the drink, he walked to the wall and lay down against it without any help. From then on, one after another the waiters drank it to save their lives. Bowl of soup.
Li Shun sat at the dining table and watched as the effects of the medicine began to take effect. Only when everyone was paralyzed and unable to move did he leave the dining room. Almost all the gold and silver in the warehouse were taken out, only some that were not very valuable and very valuable were left. Heavy items were not moved.
There are seven or eight mules and horses and three carts in the stables of our store.
They also have three baggage trucks, which can still put some things on them. There are six large trucks in total, all of which are fully loaded.
Soon after Master Zhixian drank the decoction, she felt anxious. Ruosui helped her to eliminate the waste from her body, and her condition was miraculously relieved immediately and her high fever was reduced a lot.
The three apprentices were overjoyed when they saw their master's condition improving. They asked the master to lie down in a cart filled with cloths. Youruo waited on the master in the cart. The other four guards who were still unconscious after accidentally drinking the drug were placed in their respective rooms. In a vehicle loaded with supplies.
After everything was ready, careful Li Shun led two guards, each holding a lamp, and checked the inside and outside of the black shop to see if there were any flaws before he walked towards the door with confidence.
When Li Shun walked to the gate, he saw the pen and inkstone on the counter of the accounting room and suddenly said to the guard beside him on a whim.
"Put the light higher."
As he spoke, he picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, pondered for a moment, and then wrote two lines of large characters on the white wall.
"Panlong's black shop bullies people too much. In the narrow sense, a hero eliminates violence and leads to peace, but the murderer is Shaolin Li Shunye."
At dawn, the team arrived at a ferry on the Yellow River. Li Shun rented two large boats and sent all the people, horses and vehicles across the Yellow River. Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
Early the next morning, a cool breeze blew into the inn room and woke up a waiter lying on the floor in the dining room.
The window was opened from small to upward, and the window paper had turned white. A hazy light filtered through, and a rustling sound surprised the waiter.
After calming down and taking a closer look, he saw a group of mice fighting over the four plates of untouched dishes on the dining table. This reminded the waiter of the time he was forced to drink the ecstasy soup last night.
He thought that he would definitely die if he drank that mouthful of soup, so he couldn't help but yawned and looked around.
"That swordsman was very particular. He really didn't kill me with one knife after I was unconscious."
The man tried to move his hands and feet, but everything was fine. Then he looked at the boss lying in a pool of blood and other people who had not yet woken up.
"It's ruined. Something happened. We have to leave this troubled place immediately."
He jumped up from the ground and ran out of the door in a hurry. Then the guys who woke up one after another also ran away without a trace one by one.
At the same time, they were frightened by the shouts, the sound of fighting, the sound of wheels, and the flash of swords. The neighbors, whose houses were closed, woke up early in the morning and suddenly felt that the surroundings were unusually quiet. So everyone put their heads out to look through the cracks in the doors and the paper holes in the windows. Looking at the inn everywhere! !
Some saw a ghostly shadow flash out of the door or jump out of the window and disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye.
After dawn, the door of the inn has been open, but there was no movement. A bold neighbor walked to the door of the inn to find out what was going on. When he was reading the two lines written by Li Shun on the white wall, he suddenly saw a gray-faced man. The bloody guy rushed out of the house and bumped into him.
His face changed with fright, and he ran home and never dared to go out at night again.
The person who just rushed out of the inn was injured by Li Shun and was the first to be drugged with the guy. Maybe it was because the guy was weak that he finally woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that only the murdered shopkeeper and deputy shopkeeper were left in the house. He got up in fright and ran away. It was only at midnight that the sun set and the family members of the innkeeper came from home after hearing the news.
The next day the news reached the deceased's brother, General Kaifu, and he became furious.
"My brother is a good person in Panlong Town. Today he was accidentally killed by a thief. My brother's soul is still far away and I can see that my little brother avenges you."
The general of Kaifu went to the governor of the state government and asked.
"I give you three days to find the swordsman who killed my brother, otherwise you will not be able to be a Beijing official. "
If things like opening illegal shops don't happen, you can use the power of the general to run rampant. However, the local people and the government dare to speak out. If someone dares to be the leader, they will only be hacked by the more powerful people, and they will have their teeth smashed into their stomachs. pharynx.
At this time in Dahong Mountain, Shan Yutong was eating tree bark and chewing weeds every day, always maintaining a sense of humiliation. He didn't know where he got a "Sixteen Step Boxing Manual".
In addition, Shan Yutong, a master mermaid who claimed to be a tourist from Kunwu Mountain, guided Shan Yutong to abandon the sledgehammer and use the sledgehammer to achieve his mastery in one go. vent.
The first-generation golden nail Zaoyang pin weighed about 400 kilograms and was eighty-two feet long from head to tail. It was densely covered with six rows of iron nails and twelve nails. The tail had a prismatic iron hammer that could be picked, blunted or blocked.
Yang Jian and his group crossed the Yellow River and did not go up the post road themselves. Instead, they bypassed the nearby city and submerged into the mountains. Ruosui was very puzzled by this. She held on to the reins of the horses and waited for Li Shun's mount to come over. She asked.
"Second Senior Brother, we are obviously doing harm to the people, but we dare not admit it. We also describe ourselves as swordsmen in a narrow sense. We are dodgy even when we walk. We dare not walk on the post road openly. Why is this?"
Li Shun glanced at Ruosui and said with a smile.
"We don't dare to talk nonsense about this matter. You'd better ask the senior brother himself."
"We won't ask him. He always has a face and makes people afraid to approach him."
Li Shun sighed.
"Not only does the eldest brother dare not call him a hero, he is also really afraid that others will know that he has done another good deed to eliminate violence and bring peace to society."
"Why is that?"
Ruosui, who was not stupid, felt even more confused.
At the beginning of the afternoon, the sun was approaching the zenith of the sky. The team arrived at a clear stream, where the trees were tall and dense, and there was no one around. The group of people who had not slept all night were already exhausted.
Yang Jian finally ordered.
"Stop moving forward and rest here tomorrow."
The most gratifying thing for everyone along the way was that Master Zhixian, who was lying on the cloth pusher, actually slept a long time on the rickety carriage. After parking, he was able to walk around with Ruosui's help. She washed herself by the stream. At that time, I found that the blisters in my mouth were much better.
Ruosui ran to the car full of supplies and picked out a bowl of dark gray muslin. It was a hot day. She and her master didn't even bring a change of clothes, so they wanted to sew two sets of clothes with details. They already had the cloth, but they still had to cut it. We can only go to Li Shun again.
"Senior brother, please think of a solution for us."
Li Shun took off a seven or eight inch long waist knife and said.
"This knife is used by the Khitan people to cut meat and peel skin. You can try it out."
Ruosui took it and took the sword over. The small but heavy copper scabbard was inlaid with several blue and red gems. Ruosui now used black charcoal to draw a mark on the cloth, and then used the knife to lightly scratch the cloth to separate it from the middle. Got it! ! !
While cooking, Yang Jian ordered several guards to collect several kinds of wild vegetables with different tastes, carefully select the tender ones, mix them with the grain, add oil and salt, and also cook a pot of porridge, Yang Jian said.
"If it's up to you and the master to eat first."
Ruo Sui and Zhi Xian ate deliciously. After the meal, most of the people except the sentry grooms found a place to lie down and rest.
Yang Jian invited Li Shun to sit on the ground by the stream and joked.
"I see you're acting quite like that this time."
"We don't need to dress up as swordsmen. We, Li Shun, are originally from the mountains. In fact, are we really forced to do this? If people know that it was you who did this and the news spreads to Chang'an, Yuwen Don’t you think you are a pushy person even more?"
"You're right."
Yang Jian threw a stone in his hand into the stream, causing ripples in the water, but Li Shun said thoughtfully.
"We are originally people who are fearless and do not believe in fate. Today, while riding on the horse, we were thinking about some random things. Why do such things always follow us to join in the fun? It's like being possessed by a demon. I want to get rid of everything. I can't get rid of it. You see, the night we first arrived in Suizhou, we met Lu Er. After that, he pulled out the carrot and brought out the mud, which triggered a series of cases. It forced us to make up our mind to win the single-family mutual insurance. This time we only I wanted to go home safely but I accidentally entered a black shop. If you don’t kill him, he will kill you. You say it’s a bad thing, but it’s not a bad thing.”
"This isn't some demonic possession."
Yang Jian continued.
"It's just that the times are bad and the country's fortunes are not good. After taking office this time, we have clearly realized that no matter where you go, you will encounter bad people. Some places are even controlled by evil forces. Wild fires will never burn out. Spring breezes will blow them again." , in the final analysis, the country is not strong, the system of the imperial court is not implemented, and some officials are not based on virtue and ability, but are afraid of losing their official position and excluding dissidents in exchange for their own confidants. How can this not cause trouble? As always! If this continues, not only will the Northern Zhou Dynasty not be able to destroy the Northern Qi Dynasty and conquer the Chen Kingdom to unify the world, but we will be harmed by mediocre officials."
Li Shundao.
"Oh, you are jealous of evil. If you keep talking like this when you return to Chang'an, I'm afraid another disaster will happen."
"Let me ask you something."
Yang Jian changed the subject and asked.
"You presided over the loading of the gold and silver treasures in the car. What are you going to do with them next?"
"Have you noticed that money has made you fall in love with those things?"
"Pooh."
Yang Jian said disdainfully.
"If we hadn't been protecting the master and letting you toss around outside, we would never have let you carry those cumbersome things into the car."
