Chapter 198 The Restaurant Disturbance 2
"Well, it's not impossible to think about it." Lao Cao said while stroking his beard.
"It's not in a hurry." The shopkeeper quickly winked at his subordinates. In his opinion, only Lao Cao is sober. The exchange now just adds a burden to Lao Cao. The subordinates swarmed up again, even though Lao Cao was a ruthless character, the good tiger couldn't hold back the pack of wolves.
"Old Cao, you really don't have time to spare. We managed to sleep, but you disturbed us again." But Li Jianxin, who was lying on the table, sat up, and broke the tendon rope in his hand as soon as he stretched out his hand , and then stretched a big lazy waist.The others also woke up slowly, just looking at the people around them peripherally. "I just know how to sleep, and I'll be chopped into steamed bun stuffing later." Lao Cao scolded with a smile.
"You guys" the shopkeeper exclaimed, and then cut off what he wanted to say in panic, and immediately begged for mercy: "Everyone, the little old man can't see Taishan, please return!" Let me go. If you guys don't mind, we still have a lot of gold and silver treasures and you can take them." The shopkeeper has been running a black shop here for more than ten years, and it's not that there is no time when his car is overturned. It's just that most of the time he said some good things, and bought the lives of his group with money.After sending these heroes away, they continued to make a living like this. Of course, if these heroes really believed, then they had other means.
"You old man is sensible. It's not impossible for us to let you go, but I don't know if you are meaningful enough." Lao Cao rubbed his right index finger and thumb together as he counted money.
"Little old man is always flattering. If a good man is willing to spare our lives, we will definitely change our ways." The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, since you are also sensible. Then we can't let you go." Lao Cao said with a smile, then stretched out his hand, broke the tendon rope tied to the shopkeeper's hand, and took the shopkeeper untied.
It seems that it is a hard stubble, I can only use that, the shopkeeper thought to himself when he saw Lao Cao showing his hand.Although he was thinking of some vicious things in his heart, he smiled shyly on his face and said: "Please come in with the little old man. We keep all the valuable things in the cellar."
"Well, then let you go." Lao Cao said and patted the back of the shopkeeper like a watermelon.
Let you be a little proud first, and see how you die later, the shopkeeper thought in his heart, but the smile on his face became even thicker. "Everyone, please follow me." The shopkeeper bowed his body and smiled like a dog, and made a low-brow look, pushing through the onlookers and leading Li Jianxin and the others to the inn, and arrived. In the yard.
There is a stone mill in the middle of the yard. The shopkeeper walked slowly to the side of Shi Mo, and with a little effort, he pushed the stone mill away, revealing a wooden board on the ground with a pull ring on it. "Everyone, please follow me." The shopkeeper said and got in, and Lao Cao followed closely, but Li Jianxin and the others didn't come in.
"Man, why are you here alone?" the shopkeeper asked with a shy face.
"They're staying up there to watch, lest anything happen to me." Lao Cao said with a smile.
"Hero, I really feel that it is better to settle enemies than to end them. It was the little old man's fault before, but I really want to reconcile with you guys. There are countless gold and silver treasures in this cellar. You can take them all by yourself. Dozens of taels of gold can’t be taken anymore, so why don’t you ask your companions to come down together, so that you can get more. But it’s agreed in advance that we will cancel it if you take the money.” The shopkeeper said He took the torch from the wall, lit the torch, and shone it into the darkness, and saw pieces of yellow and orange golden light flickering.
"How?" Seeing Lao Cao's greedy look, the shopkeeper couldn't help but secretly smiled, and just uttered two short words of two syllables to urge Lao Cao to make a decision.
Lao Cao stroked his chin and pondered for a while, unable to control his inner greed anymore, he patted the shopkeeper and said, "Okay, wait for me here for a while, I will go up and call my companion to come down." Lao Cao said Then he walked to the opening of the cellar and called Li Jianxin and the others to come down.
"Heroes, after taking the money, our previous grievances will be wiped out." The shopkeeper said with a shy smile.
"Of course." Li Jianxin also responded.
"Then come with the little old man." The shopkeeper said and walked forward, leading Li Jianxin and the others to the side of the pile of gold.The bright yellow-orange-orange radiance of the gold under the fire dazzled Li Jianxin and the others' eyes. Seeing the greed in Li Jianxin's eyes amplified little by little, the shopkeeper just snickered and walked to the wall with a torch. Just as he was about to put the torch on the bracket, he said, "You heroes, please do as you please."
Lao Cao was almost dazzled by the yellow-orange light, rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Then we will not be polite."
"Well, everyone. Please do as you please." The shopkeeper said, and then touched the place where the torch was placed on the wall.Then a secret door opened quietly beside him, and the shopkeeper quickly got in, standing inside the door and mockingly said: "You guys go to hell." Then a stone door fell down, Immediately cut off the sight of Li Jianxin and the shopkeeper.
The stone gate quickly fell down and closed.Seeing that the job was done, the shopkeeper cheerfully walked slowly in the tunnel, whistling.Hey, I thought it was a few smart people, but it turned out to be a guy with no brains. Hey, I am really too smart. The shopkeeper shook his head and walked up while being narcissistic.
"That's all?" There was a teasing voice suddenly in the darkness, which startled the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper blew it on with a fire bag, turned his head stiffly, looked at the faces of several evil spirits approaching in front of him, couldn't help but trembled with fright, and hurriedly wailed: "Little old man has no eyes, please give me a hand!" The good man let me go. I have old and young, and the whole family relies on me to eat alone, and I ask you good men to walk around me for the sake of my parents and children." He fell to his knees On the ground, he quickly kowtowed.
"Okay, I can let you go, you take me out first." Li Jianxin said casually.
The shopkeeper's tears that were just about to be squeezed back immediately, his voice was no longer choked up, his body was no longer trembling, he quickly got up, wrinkled his old face and smiled: "Thank you for the good guys, thank you for the good guys " As he spoke, he bowed to Li Jianxin and his party again.
"Lead the way." Li Jianxin just shrugged and said casually.
"Okay, okay, okay, let's go this way with the little old man." The shopkeeper said and led Li Jianxin and the others out of the way.The exit is just under the stairs of the restaurant.As soon as the shopkeeper came out, his subordinates surrounded him and asked expectantly, "Shopkeeper, is it a success?"
The shopkeeper didn't answer, but just shook his head slightly, and everyone immediately understood what the shopkeeper meant, and they all showed a look of concern.When Li Jianxin and the others came out, they saw a group of people kneeling in front of him. The shopkeeper had already tied himself up, and half-kneeled to Li Jianxin with a thorn stick.
"The shopkeeper, who are you?" Li Jianxin said with a smile and met Lao Cao's eyes again. They were all a little uncertain what the shopkeeper's plan was.
"We don't know Taishan with our eyes, and we ran into a few young heroes, and now we come here to plead guilty, and hope that the heroes will spare us if they show their anger." The shopkeeper held the rattan in both hands above his head. , just looked down at the ground.They have done this kind of thing many times, and they are already skilled.
If you meet a hero with a kind heart, it's just a few words of admonition, and if you meet a hero with a temper, it's just a little bit of flesh and blood, but it's better than losing your life.
Li Jianxin couldn't help but twitched his face when he saw these people perform this "pleading guilty", but he was not interested in training rough old men of his age, so he just smiled and pretended to ask casually: "By the way , what about the waiter in the shop before?"
As soon as Li Jianxin's words came out, those kneeling on the ground breathed heavily, and the shopkeeper kneeling on the ground immediately said: "Heroes, that kid is a little afraid of you, so we didn't let him come over." .”
"It's okay, it doesn't matter, I don't care about it like him, go and call the waiter over." Li Jianxin just said casually.
"This..." The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment.
"Huh? Could it be that I'm too talkative?" Li Jianxin's voice suddenly became harsh.
"I'll do it now." The shopkeeper said quickly, but he was about to stand up.It was just suppressed by Li Jianxin, "Did I wake you up?" Li Jianxin said with a smile.
"This black pockmark, you go and bring that kid here." The shopkeeper had no choice but to bite the bullet and say.Immediately, the black pockmark kneeling next to him stood up tremblingly, walked to the kitchen, and came out carrying a guy covered in blood.It was the waiter from the shop before, but it was hard to see a good piece of meat on him now.
"What's going on?" Li Jianxin's voice cooled down as he spoke.Everyone present felt that the air was slightly colder, and couldn't help but tremble again, but no one dared to speak.
Li Jianxin stretched out his hand to grab the waiter from Hei Mazi, checked the waiter's breath, but he was extremely weak, and hurriedly passed a wave of life force over.The waiter in the shop woke up slowly. "Guest officer, are you still in their way?" the waiter in the shop said weakly.
Hearing this, Li Jianxin's face grew colder, and he couldn't help sneering: "You guys really have tricks. It's all right to open a black shop by yourself, and drag others into the water. This trick is really second-class." Li Jianxin As soon as the words came out, those kneeling on the ground kowtowed like garlic.
"Hero, spare your life!...Hero, spare your life!" The voices of begging for mercy came one after another, and the inn was immediately noisy.
"It's really interesting." Li Jianxin snorted coldly, put down the waiter in his hand and said, "Are you one of them too?"
"No, no. No, I am originally from southern Hunan. I came here with my father as a merchant, and hid from the water ghosts, but I didn't expect to suffer in this black shop, and my father was killed because of it. It's just their previous The waiter in the shop was beaten to death because of unclean hands and feet. I was young and pretty, so I was left to be the waiter in the shop. They beat me until I was obedient. Unexpectedly, today was I met you, benefactor." The waiter in the store choked up as he spoke, tears fell on the wound on his face, which was so astringent and painful.
"Is what he said true?" Li Jianxin looked at the kneeling people and asked.
"He's lying!" The shopkeeper just knelt on the ground and looked at the waiter fiercely, with a sense of threat already overflowing.The shop waiter just shrank towards Li Jianxin.Li Jianxin just stroked his back gently and said, "Don't be afraid."
"Hero, you are so clear! The shopkeeper forced us to do it. He just forced us to do these life-threatening things to submit the certificate. We are desperate!" Hei Mazi wailed. "That's right! The shopkeeper forced us." Hearing what Hei Mazi said, the others echoed.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he became anxious immediately, and he didn't care about Li Jianxin watching. He reached out and lifted the rope tied to his body, and rushed towards Hei Mazi, saying in his mouth: "You fart, Hei Mazi. When did you divide?" Aren't you the most active in money?" As he spoke, he and Hei Mazi scuffled together.
Someone with a bit more intelligence shouted: "Yes, it's all the shopkeeper and Hei Mazi who forced us." People kept making reports, and the hall became even more noisy. More than ten people were fighting together, punching and kicking. But Kijian kept leaning against the door and quietly moved over.
When Li Jianxin saw these people playing tricks under Ye's hands, he immediately became happy, and immediately gave Tang Bo and Xiao Liuzi a look, telling them to go over and calm these people down.Tang Bo was also too lazy to walk, so he just stretched out his hand and shot a throwing knife into the foot of the person closest to the door, saying: "If you don't want to have more holes on your body, just run there." Looking at the flying knife under the man's feet again, knowing that he met an expert today, he couldn't help being honest, but walked towards the inn with his head down.
"Okay, okay, why are you so serious? We're not going to eat you." Li Jianxin just grinned, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Hero, we are willing to use the treasures we have accumulated over the past ten years in exchange for a way of life. Please, heroes, let us go." The innkeeper knew that he couldn't do well today, so he could only repay it with a little luck and bit the bullet. Said.
