Chapter 268 Black eats black
In the backyard of Yuancaotang, the shopkeeper greeted four men to hunch the boxes containing ginseng on his back, and then called more than ten men to take out a knife from the warehouse and hang it around his waist.
He whispered: "You must take good care of this batch of ginseng and bring the grain and ginseng back to me. After arriving at the place, I explore the kid's background and see if he is a cross-river or a naughty green. If he is just a naughty green, just do it."
The guy asked, "What if it's a crossing river dragon? Will this batch of ginseng be broken into his hands?"
The shopkeeper sneered: "Bojianglong also depends on whether he is hard enough, go!"
Chen Ji stood in the main hall, looked at the knives one by one and said carelessly: "Shopkeeper, you Yuancaotang is considerate. We have already paid and paid attention to these ginseng as your own things, as if you were afraid that you would be stolen. You are righteous."
The shopkeeper asked for help and said, "You are the big customer of my Yuancaotang. We will help you transport ginseng to make a good relationship, so as not to be robbed halfway."
Chen Ji pretended to be shocked and suspicious: "Who will rob? How did he know that there are ginseng in this box? Could it be that an acquaintance committed the crime?"
The shopkeeper was shocked: "What do you mean? The guest officer is not suspicious of me, right?"
Chen Ji smiled: "The shopkeeper is so worried. I mean the Master Hu San just now."
The shopkeeper said as he went down: "You don't know that Hu Laosan is one of the biggest local snakes in Guyuan. He is cunning and cruel, and many people have followed his words."
"Oh?" Chen Ji asked curiously: "What have he done?"
The shopkeeper recalled: "I had a big event that year when I first came to Guyuan. Longmen Inn was not originally called Longmen Inn, but Fuyun Inn. The owner was one of the biggest local snakes in Guyuan City, with his surname Zhang. Later, the surname Zhang attacked Hu Laosan and was destroyed overnight. The owner of the inn, the twelve friends of the inn, were all hung on the twelve imperial archways on Zhongyi Street."
Chen Ji was puzzled: "Opinion archway?"
The shopkeeper explained: "That was the archway given to General Wen Tao by His Majesty to show loyalty and righteousness. After General Wen Tao was imprisoned, the court originally did not intend to demolish it to appease the border army, but later the eunuch party in the court found that someone secretly established a sacred temple for General Wen Tao. The sacred temple was also engraved with words to curse the current emperor's plot against the sacred people. The court demolished the sacred temple and the sacred archway, so you have never seen it before."
Chen Ji was even more confused. This matter did not seem to be a battle of courage, but involved the old case of General Wen Tao.
He asked quietly, "How did Fuyun Inn mess with Hu Laosan?"
The shopkeeper didn't know the details, but said: "It must be that Hu Laosan was thinking about the way to send someone to Jingchao inn. Later, he heard that the inn was taken away by General Wen Tao's sworn sister and changed its name to Weiyuan Inn. A year later, he somehow changed his name to Longmen Inn, and perhaps his employer was changed."
Chen Ji's heart moved.
General Wen Tao’s adopted sister?
He asked softly, "Where did General Wentao's pampered sister go?"
The shopkeeper shook his head: "I don't know this... Guest, hurry up and get on the road."
Chen Ji smiled: "Okay."
The shopkeeper's eyes turned and he tentatively said, "I don't know where the food of the guest officer exists? I can tell the guys where they want to send the ginseng."
Chen Ji casually said: "Duokufang, Zhangji Grain and Oil Shop."
The shopkeeper immediately gave the clapper a wink: "Go!"
"Slow down," Chen Ji smiled and said, "It's just for me to send ginseng. There are no need to go to so many people. There are four guys carrying ginseng on their backs. Otherwise, if the neighbors see it, they will know that there are treasures in my house."
The shopkeeper persuaded: "It is not safe to have fewer people."
Chen Ji said meaningfully: "It is even more unsafe to have too many people."
Seeing Chen Ji vigilant, the shopkeeper thought for a moment and waved to the guys, leaving only four guys carrying boxes.
He smiled and bowed to Chen Ji, "Customer, is this OK?"
Chen Ji bowed and said, "I'm lucky and the shopkeeper, we'll have a date later."
The shopkeeper bowed his hand and replied: "There will be a date later."
Chen Ji lifted his clothes and crossed the threshold and left Yuancaotang. The shopkeeper slowly smiled behind him: "Everyone comes out. I followed them quietly. The rest of them took a detour and rushed to Duokufang to find Zhangji Grain and Oil Shop!"
"Yes!" More than ten guys came out one after another.
...
...
Chen Ji walked slowly. He just turned four streets and was about to walk north, but was stopped by a friend.
The guy said curiously: "Customer, this is not the way to Duokufang."
Chen Ji explained: "I want to turn somewhere else, don't worry, it won't take too long."
The guy said in a deep voice: "Customer, this batch of ginseng is very valuable. Let's go to the grain and oil shop as soon as possible to avoid the night of dreams."
Chen Ji looked at several people up and down, and then smiled and said, "Actually, my grain and oil shop is not in Duokufang, but in Taohuaifang."
The guy's expression changed and he turned around and was about to walk back.
Chen Ji pressed his shoulder and asked lightly: "Where are you going?"
The guy felt a huge force on his shoulders, and his legs almost turned soft and he knelt on the ground. His expression changed a few times, and he hurriedly explained: "Customer, I remembered something falling into Yuancaotang."
Chen Ji smiled and let go of his palm: "What's the hurry? Can you lose the things in Yuancaotang? I'll send the ginseng to the place first."
The guy endured it: "Sure, do what you said."
Along the way, the guy was restless and looked around.
When he arrived at the grain and oil shop, Chen Ji pushed open the door. When the guy saw the pile of grain like a hill in the yard, his eyes suddenly became straight.
Chen Ji pointed to the yard: "Let the ginseng be placed on the ground."
The guys came in and unloaded the boxes on their backs and looked at the food greedily.
Chen Ji closed the door behind them. When he heard the door closed, the guys subconsciously looked at the left and right wing rooms, alerting that someone had come out from inside.
After a while, the guys felt a little relieved when they saw Chen Ji still alone.
One of them made a smooth move and asked with a smile: "What are the guests doing when they close the door? Could it be that they want to leave me waiting for lunch before leaving?"
Chen Ji shook his head: "You don't have to have lunch in the future."
The guys' expressions changed, and one of them shouted softly: "Hold him!"
After saying that, the three guys pulled out their waists and killed Chen Ji. The guy who was talking jumped hard, grabbed the eaves and was about to escape and report the news.
But just as he was holding his body up and about to climb up the roof, he saw a black cat squatting on the gray tiles in front of him, staring at him quietly.
The guy ignored Wuyun and just thought that this was a wild cat from nowhere.
The next moment, Dark Cloud raised his claws and waved it gently across the air.
The guy's pupils suddenly contracted. His claws were only half a step away from him, but a white sword light burst out and gently stroked his neck.
Blood shot up from the neck, and the guy lost his strength in both hands and leaned back to the ground.
Thump, blood was soaking on the ground under the guy, staring at the roof, and his breathing was gone, but he still didn't want to close his eyes.
Wuyun turned his head to look at Chen Ji. Chen Ji was breaking the neck of the last guy and waved to it: "I'm here to eat, I'll eat enough this time."
After saying that, he lifted the box and exposed the slender and dry old ginseng inside.
This was the first time Chen Ji had seen so many old ginseng. He stroked it casually. The old ginseng sucked away the ice flow and turned into crystal clear beads and fell at the bottom of the box. The dark clouds' eyes lit up: "It's fierce!"
...
...
Outside the grain and oil shop, two Yuancaotang workers who followed him realized something was wrong when they saw the door closed.
Just as the two of them wanted to go into the yard to find out, they heard a thud from the yard, accompanied by the sound of bone cracks.
They looked at each other, turned around and ran away: "You go to Duokufang to find someone, I will go back to Caotang to report to the shopkeeper!"
After saying that, the two disappeared at the fork in the road, one left and one right.
The guy ran all the way, and ran as fast as he could. It was two sticks of incense when he rushed back to Yuancaotang.
The shopkeeper stood in front of the door and saw him coming out of breath, his face changed drastically: "What happened?"
The guy said anxiously: "That guy is terrified and eats black. The place where he hides food is not in Duokufang, but in Taohuaifang! I'll report to you. Zhao Zhong goes to Duokufang to call people... The four guys who followed him may have been beaten!"
The shopkeeper cursed angrily: "Damn it, I think my Yuancaotang is a soft persimmon, so I went to the backyard to call someone and brought the boy back to me. I want to peel him off with my own hands!"
The guy rushed into the backyard, and in a short while, he led more than ten guys with Park Knife and rushed out the door without saying a word.
The shopkeeper stood in front of the door and looked at the guy walking away. He was about to turn around and go back to the room, but he saw a man walking towards him wearing a hat.
He said in a deep voice: "It's closed, please go back."
But I saw the visitor looking up, revealing the gray and turbid eyes under the hat.
The shopkeeper was shocked: "Lao San Hu!"
The shopkeeper wanted to call the guy to save him, but then he remembered that the guys were sent out by him.
Master Hu San said nothing and slashed the shopkeeper's neck with a knife.
On the street, two men were pulling the manure truck by. Master Hu San whistled, put down the front of the car, stuffed the shopkeeper into the manure truck and left.
Several passers-by approached silently, and they closed the door panel of Yuancaotang to isolate everything.
After a while, the passers-by unloaded the door panel again and left with boxes of wild ginseng, leaving only Master Hu San standing in Yuancaotang.
Mr. Hu stuffed the nine strings of Buddhist Tongbao that Chen Ji had just handed over to the shopkeeper into his arms, and then left as if nothing had happened.
From beginning to end, no one has ever said a word.
At this moment, the long bell rang again in Guyuan City. Master Hu San suddenly turned his head, but saw that the Guyuan border army flag was slowly falling down on the battlements at the far city walls.
