Chapter 155 Hide

Ximen Qing, who returned to the inner hall, sat at the table and habitually touched the tea bowl on the table. The coldness from the tea bowl made him tremble all over. Then he remembered that this was still the overnight cup of herbal tea in the morning, and there was nothing to drink. My own boss is too failed, and there is no woman around me to serve. Even if I don't have a wife or love, I have to find one or two maids. In the past, I was distressed for money and felt that I could go to Rouge Lane if I wanted a woman. Now it's different. I'm a rich man, 30,000 taels. Find a maid, don't If you don't join the army, you can use it for a few days. I collected the money tonight and will look for it tomorrow. Damn, maybe you have to be killed by Wu Song before you leave Yanggu. Before you die, you will have better enjoyment.

For the tragic ending that Wu Song may bring to himself, Ximen Qing found that he was taking this matter as a reason, a reason not to think about the future for the time being and to have fun in time. Anyway, it's very good that life can be like this.

However... Ximenqing, who was happy for a while, suddenly couldn't be happy. He suddenly thought of a question. In fact, he had just thought about this problem, but the heroic feeling and joy that broke out made him forget it. This woman wants to give herself 30,000 taels of silver. Looking at that, she seems to be very relaxed. What on earth is she doing?

It is certain that this woman and her husband are not ordinary people in any case. They can take out 30,000 taels at once and give them to others without any feeling, and they will not find a second one in the whole state capital. Also, she said that her husband's family does not live in the Central Plains, which may be some country around, or somewhere remote, but shouldn't such a person keep a low profile with this huge amount of money? A woman's usual question costs 30,000 taels of silver, which is really illogical. Ximen Qing carefully recalled the whole process of this incident, and he found more and more doubts.

And... The woman just asked her men to open the lids of all the boxes. At that time, I found that it was full of 50 taels of large ingots. At that time, I felt a little strange, and now I think it's even more so. Generally, these fifty-two ingots are cast only when they are related to officials. It is convenient to transport and store. In addition, the fire consumption of casting large ingots is relatively small. But except for officials, there are few such large ingots. After all, it is not easy to find change. The woman carried fifty taels of silver. The most reasonable explanation is that before her family came to the Central Plains, she folded all her property into silver, and then recast it into fifty taels of ingots... That is to say, there is a place where silver is minted.

Although there are also places in Yanggu that can cast scattered silver into ingots, such a place can only cast ten taels of small ingots at most. Where 50 taels can be cast must be run by officials. That is to say, the place where the woman's family lives is a casting factory operated by officials, even if it is not an official. The scale of this foundry should also be quite large.

Well, the contradiction has really appeared. The woman said that she did not live in the Central Plains, not in the Central Plains, not in the remote areas of the Central Plains, and there would be such a large-scale mint? How is this possible!

That is to say... Ximen Qing picked up the cold tea on the table and took a sip. Now he needs this cold calmness. There is no way to judge how much this woman is lying, because Simon Qing has no other basis except logic. However, even if Ximenqing can question everything about this woman, he has to confirm two things for sure: first, this woman is very rich; second, this woman is a big shot.

Well, since she is a big shot, why does she support me, a little shrimp, to complete her personal ideals? What are you so moved? These remarks can only fool three-year-old children. Everyone knows that this is not true. No matter from which aspect, this woman should be interested in her personal ideals. Her only purpose should be... Wu Song?! Yes, this is the only possibility.

Now think about it, a woman came to give silver to everyone to chat in Xijiang Tea House. Why? Giving silver is definitely to show her noble status, but this place is not suitable. If you want to show your hospitality, you can go to the Osmanthus Building. She did not choose the Osmanthus House. The only explanation is that she doesn't need people who go to the Osmanthus House to eat, because the people who go to the Osmanthus House for dinner, at least They are all people who are not very disgusted with Wu Song and Wuda.

And in Xijiang Tea House, it is different. I have never thought about the joints before, just like why I don't go to Guihua Tower today. Because I don't want to go to Guihua Tower to touch the mold, I walked into the door of Xijiang Tea House. Maybe most people will also have this kind of heart. Isn't it purposeful for this woman to choose to talk about the ominous signs of blood-red stars in a group that opposes the martial arts family? Maybe she just wants to ignite a panic about disaster, maybe she is waiting for people like me. Yes, this woman knows nothing about Yanggu at all. She is likely to know everything. She knows everything that has happened in Yanggu recently. She believes that in the face of this disastrous vision, people will definitely think of the recent disaster. Even if we dare not say it, she will definitely lead the topic to this aspect. The only reason why she told us about the gift of silver in advance was to give us a reassurance and tell us that she was a * person, and then she could speak freely.

That is to say... my blood is stirring, and my heroes today' dreams and ambitions talk. Speaking of it, they are just a pawn of this woman. This idea made Ximen Qing extremely frustrated, so that Ximen Qing desperately wanted to find a reason to refute this idea, but after thinking about it in pain, he found that this was an irrefutable truth. He came out of his mother's womb. The most courageous time was actually a completely calculated production. Things.

The depression only lasted for a short time, and then the uneasy mood quickly dominated. Ximenqing promised everyone that he would fight against Wu Song, which is largely based on the theory that if he can fight, and if he can't fight, he will escape. Anyway, these traders in Wusong and Yanggu County will not say anything and pester themselves after they have left the land of Yanggu. A large amount of money can completely go to a place, hidden surname. Buried and become a new person. The Song Dynasty is so big, who knows who? But now, the situation has fundamentally changed. A big man who is likely to hate Wu Song and has a lot of money. Once he receives money and doesn't do anything, what will happen... Ximen Qing dares not think about it. He is extremely regretful. His seemingly heroic words and actions turned out to be a hero in front of people. The scenery, behind people, has to pay a huge price.

Ximenqing felt that he was finished. Before, he could slightly imagine fighting with Wu Song because he still had a way out. At worst, he would run away. Anyway, he was going to leave Yanggu. No matter how dangerous it was, he could be relaxed. But now, Ximenqing is like a walker who travels through the desert, leaving only the last water bag. Previously, whenever he was thirsty, he would tell himself that there was still a bag of water. If he couldn't bear it, he could pull out the plug and drink happily. However, when he looked down at the sleeping bag, wanted to pull out the plug, smelled the moist smell, and wanted to give him some confidence to continue walking, he found that the sleeping bag had somehow leaked a hole, and there had been no drop of water left. This sudden despair made the walker able to continue to move forward.

Is there any remedy? Ximen Qing drank all the herbal tea in his hand, put the empty cup heavily on the table, and then walked back and forth on the ground with his back. A moment later, he thought of the only way, which was not to accept the money. Yes, the whole thing is actually a deal. The woman gave me money, and then I went to fight with Wu Song, but what if I didn't receive the money? Does that mean the dissolution of this relationship? Yes, it can definitely be like this.

But I told the woman that I was at the Siemens pharmacy. What should I do? As she said, before the palm lamp, all the silver liang will be in place. If others say this, Ximenqing will treat it as a bragging, but this woman can take out more than 10,000 taels at once, and then take out more than 10,000 to make up 30,000 taels. It should not be a big problem, so she can't expect her to deliver it. So... what should I do!

Yes! Ximen Qing fiercely patted his head. In fact, the matter is very simple. I'm talking about Ximen Pharmacy. As long as I'm not a Ximen Pharmacy, it's fine. I can remove the plaque of Ximen Pharmacy and hang something casually, or just don't hang up. I'm not Ximen Pharmacy. This practice sounds absurd, but Ximen Qing still has his own plan. On the one hand, the appearance of the buildings of buying and selling shops on the West Street is not much worse, and there are many businesses. Even Ximenqing himself goes west from Cross Street and goes to the West Street to find his own business, he has to look at the plaque. Otherwise, it is easy to go to other people's houses. After all, no one will count each family. Of course, there are other ways to distinguish, such as a sedan, which is also feasible if measured by sedan.

This woman has a new face, that is to say, even if she is familiar with Yanggu, in the final analysis, she is definitely not from the West Street. Besides, how can the people on the West Street be so rich, just a foreigner. Local people often make mistakes, how can outsiders get it right? If you take off the plaque, at least you can add a possibility that you can't find it.

In addition, even if she finds someone familiar with geography and finds my location and confirms that this is the Ximen Pharmacy, I just need to ask the store's clerk to insist that it's not here. I'll find a place to hide in the back hall. The person who sent the silver can't find me, so I can't hand it over, so I can only be anxious. As long as I avoid the lamp tonight, even if the noble woman is dishonest first, I can naturally get rid of the thing against Wu Song. As for the reputation of local shopkeepers, alas, anyway, my Ximenqing has a bad reputation, and it hasn't been a day or two. Now I have to leave Yanggu. What does it matter if it is notorious? When I went back to my hometown, these people had to crawl in front of me like grandchildren.

Yes, just do it. Anyway, it's the only way to escape this disaster. Just do it.

Thinking of this, Ximenqing moved from the back hall to the front hall again. The staff in the front hall were not as many as when he came in just now. It seems that some of them have gone out to buy medicine. Wang An led two or three people and is still checking the medicinal materials.

When Wang An saw Ximen Qing coming in, he immediately stopped the work at hand and bowed to salute: "My boss."

"Well, Wang An." Ximen Qing thought that he still couldn't tell the truth to him. This matter should still be based on confusion. You lead these guys and quickly take off the plaque of the 'Westgate Pharmacy' in front of our door. Ximenqing's tone was as plain as possible. He didn't want Wang An to see anything, and he didn't want Wang An to ask him why. Although Ximen Qing also knew that it was almost impossible.

"Why...?" Wang An still asked.

Ximen Qing sighed. How can I make up this reason? I have to say nothing: "I went out at noon today and almost sold the store. The other party has a lot of family background and the price is also good. This person will definitely come to receive the store within a month. He can't come now because he has something at hand. However, they made a request, saying that today happens to be an auspicious day, which is suitable for the opening of a new store. If it opens today, it will definitely be able to make money every day. This person believes this very much. I couldn't help it, so I found a compromise, that is, we took off the brand today, even if it was another form of opening of his new store. This person is more cautious and is estimated to send someone to check today, so after you take off the plaque, even if others come to ask, you remember that even if others clearly ask 'Is this a Ximen Pharmacy', you have to say 'No'. If you ask 'Is this someone named Ximenqing', you have to say 'no'. You remember, you must insist on these two problems, otherwise our store will be blind. There is a lot of money in this store. Without this money, everyone's future will be affected. You can't afford this, do you understand? Ximenqing asked eagerly.

"Oh." Wang An scratched his head: "Dang, I understand. Don't worry. From now on, we won't call it Ximen Pharmacy. That's because our room is full of medicinal herbs. If they ask, if it's not a pharmacy, how can there be so many medicinal herbs?

"This..." Ximenqing originally wanted to find another plaque to hang, but after thinking about where to find other plaques, he had already told lies to Wang An. After making up a name casually, the nonsense of the auspicious day's opening is not right. How can there be a buyer and seller to open it and let others get the plaque? " Just say that this is not a shop, but just a place to put medicinal materials. As for who is in charge, I don't know. Anyway, you just collect money to help others do things, and you don't ask much about anything else. Ximenqing said this and turned his head to the other guys: "Do you remember what I just said to Wang An? If there is nothing wrong, I don't think I need to do it. We brothers who are interested in surrender will not let you go."

"Dear owner, we remember that there will be no mistakes." Those people replied in a hurry.

"As long as there are no mistakes. What are you still doing? Go and take off the sign. Ximenqing scolded those guys.

Those guys put down the things in their hands and went to the storage room to get ladders and other tools to remove the signs. When Ximen Qing saw this, his heart calmed down a little. Then he said to Wang An, "You don't have to do it, just supervise these people next to you. I will give you the full power over this matter. It's a big deal. Compared with this, sell medicinal materials and put them away in advance. You don't have to go out this afternoon. You must do this well. Also, in order to be more realistic, I discussed with the buyer that I would hide it first so that they couldn't find it. So I will hide in the back hall for a while, and everything in front of me depends on your greeting. I still have full confidence in you." Ximen Qing patted Wang An on the shoulder while talking.

"Don't worry, I will live up to your trust." When Wang An spoke, his voice was a little choked, as if he was extremely moved. His appearance reassured Ximen Qing.

After saying that, Ximen Qing turned back to the inner hall and still sat at the table stunned. After a while, he felt that it was not safe. The woman could take out so much money. Even if she couldn't get in the main door, she could find a few kung fu hands. She would come in through the window and find herself. She had to find a more hidden place. Where should she go?

Yes! Go to the cellar. Ximenqing suddenly remembered that there was a cellar in the pharmacy, which was often used to store some sundries. When he was young, his father often used it, and there were still some impressions in the vagueness. However, when he became an adult, he didn't care much about the cellar, because there was not much to store. In addition, the things about the pharmacy were also He is in charge of the pharmacy shopkeeper, and he is not very in charge of things.

Ximen Qing still remembers the entrance of the cellar. He found a fire fold from the inner hall and took it into his arms. He turned out from the back hall to a small courtyard close to the back door. Then, to the west of the small courtyard, he groped for a pull ring on the wall. With a hard pull, a board on the ground opened, and the entrance of the cellar appeared.

Ximenqing still remembers his father's warning that the cellar has not been opened for a long time, and it is stuffy. People may suffocate when they enter. Before entering, they must test it with a fire fold. If the fire fold is still burning, the person can enter. On the contrary, he has to wait for a while.
