He Qu's ancestors were in the medicine business. He became a "crow" very early and lurked in Geling Town for nearly four or five years. He was not among the six "crows" sent by Zhao Bohai. The person who contacted him was mysterious and generous, providing him with a large sum of money. He Qu went to and from pharmacies, taverns and brothels every day, making friends with Cao Junjun, the leading medical officer in the army. No one checked the accounts, and his thoughts gradually faded. down. Unlike Luo Ting, he was not a member of the martial arts world. He had never even practiced martial arts. He only agreed to act as an internal agent to repay his benefactor. Internal affairs are not about meticulous work. No one comes to the door. He can just act like a good citizen and don't have to do anything. As time went by, He Qu had long forgotten his identity and became a herbal medicine dealer. He also married two concubines and lived a happy life.
There were dozens of people in the herbal medicine business in Geling Town. He Qu did not attract the attention of the Huashan Sect at first. His ancestral home is in the capital city. His father has been running a herbal medicine shop for twenty years, and he also works as a doctor. He mistakenly takes herbal medicines as medicine, and kills people. The family business is ruined, so he has to leave his hometown, travel around, and settle down in Ge. Ling Town, returning to the old business to earn a living. He Qu studied for several years and learned a few words. He inherited his father's business and learned to do business. When his father died of illness, it was natural for him to take over the herbal medicine store. It coincided with the epidemic, and the price of the medicinal materials he stocked was high, and the cost doubled several times.
Everything is impeccable.
The first person to mention He Qu was Liu Yao, the second son of Liu Yue, the chief bodyguard of Chilong Escort Bureau. Liu Yao studied under the "Golden Needle" Doctor Xue, who is like a parent. It happened to be a great epidemic in the south. Doctor Xue was overworked and died of the epidemic. People who died of the epidemic could not be buried. Liu Yao followed his master's orders and burned the body to ashes and took it back to Geling Town for burial. After being away from home for many years, there is no place for him in the Red Dragon Escort Bureau. Although Liu Ying is the escort, he seems to regard himself as the young escort leader. The relationship between their brothers is not harmonious. Liu Yao had nothing to do, so he visited various medicine shops in Geling Town, and was deeply impressed by He Qu. The herbal medicine shop he opened had poor supply of goods and little business. He happened to have a relationship with the Jiaguan garrison and resold the medicinal materials. Earn three points of profit, and others will not be able to knock on the door, and they dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
The Huashan faction thoroughly investigated "Crow", and the Chilong Escort Bureau also sent people to help. Liu Yao heard that they were looking for a "herbal medicine dealer" and suspected that it was a spy sent by the rebels. He casually said that He Qu's business was weird. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. When Liu Yue heard the words, his heart moved. He ordered a close confidant to feel the bottom of He Qu. After going back and forth, he found that the source of his capital to start a business was unknown and highly suspicious.
Liu Yue informed Li Yizhu about this, and the two discussed it and decided to find a strange face to test it out. Is this job difficult to say or easy to say? In addition to being bold and careful, you must know the inside story of the rebels. There happened to be such a suitable candidate in the Red Dragon Escort Bureau. The job of testing He Qu fell on Guo Chuanlin On the body.
To maintain the military line, it is enough to collect enough money. It no longer requires too much energy. He Qu goes to the herbal medicine shop every day and checks the accounts. It does not take more than half an hour. Other than that, he only works in the brothel. Spend time in the tavern, have a lot of money in your pocket, and don't hesitate to spend money. On this day, the waiter of Chilong Escort came with the news that He Qu left the herbal medicine shop, wandered all the way to Sanlu Restaurant. The sun was at the top of the sky, it was still early, and the brothel was not open yet. He Qu seemed to be planning to have a few drinks and then go find a familiar lover to have fun. He reserved a seat at the Sanlu Restaurant and paid for the money every Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Spring Festival. He spent generously and never defaulted. The waiter of the boss treated him as the God of Wealth, and invited him for the most delicious food every season. Be the first to taste.
Li Yizhu patted his apprentice on the shoulder, ordered his daughter to take a few ingots of silver, put them into Guo Chuanlin's hand, gave him some instructions, and gently pushed him out.
Guo Chuanlin looked up at the sun, patted his robe, and Shi Shiran walked through the long street, looking here and there, like a foreigner who had just arrived. When he passed by Sanlu Restaurant, he seemed to feel hungry, so he retreated from the restaurant, stopped to look around, and walked in with a carefree greeting from the waiter.
Li Qixian saw it from a distance and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and chuckle secretly. The junior brother acted so well that no one could see the flaws. The foreigner's atmosphere reminded her of the first time she went down the mountain and came to the bustling big city. She was overwhelmed and frightened. - Sister Qin She would never have such an experience. She has been a lady loved by thousands of people since she was a child.
Li Yizhu glanced at his daughter, feeling a little strange in his heart. Could it be that she had fallen in love with that boy?
Sanlu Restaurant has two floors. The downstairs receives individual guests, and there is a mixed crowd, which is quite noisy. The upstairs is a private seat, specially designed for distinguished guests. The waiter in the shop was very discerning. Seeing that Guo Chuanlin was wearing a brand new robe and his sleeves were heavy and heavy, he led him to the small room on the second floor and served him diligently. Guo Chuanlin ordered him to pick out good wine and dishes, and serve them according to the portions per person. The waiter agreed, feeling happy in his heart. It is best for such a customer to talk and save face. It doesn't matter if he overstates the price of the wine by a few cents.
The shop has a big stove, and the waiter quickly delivers a plate of mutton, a plate of fish with vinegar, a plate of roast goose, and a bowl of sunflower soup. The wine is the best Li Chun Nong, and the cups, plates, cups and chopsticks are all very elegant. Guo Chuanlin waved his hand and ordered him to leave. He poured himself three or five glasses of wine, and Feng Juan Canyun ate most of the food. The wine was a fragrant wine, but it was too soft and not strong enough. The food was delicious and beyond the reach of Zhang Leli.
Thinking about Zhang Diao, he missed the camp where he ate large pieces of meat, drank wine from big bowls, and snored loudly. He wondered how Zhang Diao was doing and whether he was still his cook.
After having enough wine and food, Guo Chuanlin collected his meal money and staggered out. He seemed to be too drunk. He stumbled and ran into a booth facing the street. He Qu was pouring himself a drink and was startled by him. They looked up at each other in astonishment. The waiter hurriedly supported Guo Chuanlin and apologized repeatedly. Guo Chuanlin let out a long wine burp and seemed to recognize He Qu. He smiled and said with a big tongue: "Isn't this the boss of the herbal medicine shop? No, how are you doing?"
He Qu blinked and had no impression of him at all. Guo Chuanlin took half a step forward to block the waiter. He bent the index and middle fingers of his right hand toward the palm of his hand, and straightened his thumb, ring finger, and little finger. It was shaped like a long-mouthed dog's head and waved in front of his eyes. Said: "What's the point of drinking alone? Why don't I come and have a drink with Boss He!"
What is supposed to come will always come, and there is no way to hide. He Qu's face changed slightly, and he thought a lot. He concealed his astonishment and greeted with a dry smile: "Okay, okay! It turns out to be my brother. I was blind for a moment and didn't recognize him." , deserve to be punished, deserve to be punished! I haven’t seen you for a long time, I miss you so much, hehe...hehe..."
When the waiter saw that they were acquainted, he felt relieved. As long as he didn't offend the God of Wealth, he laughed a few times and walked out knowingly.
Guo Chuanlin closed the door and sat down opposite He Qu. He took a pair of clean chopsticks and put a piece of steamed pork into his mouth. It was neither salty nor dry, fat but not greasy. It was indeed the specialty dish of Sanlu Restaurant. The taste is endless. He Qu swallowed, calmed down a little, and lowered his voice: "Where do you come from? What do you do?"
Guo Chuanlin pointed to the west and said mockingly: "Boss He is asking questions knowingly, so he comes from Zhao Shuai's army. What are you doing? Hey, I'm here to save your life!"
