Chapter 1431 The Righteous Soldier
"No one there?" The fat man leaned against the crack of the door and looked inside. Because the doors and windows were closed, the room was dark and he could only see some vague outlines. "This shopkeeper Qian ran away." It's fast. "
It was all in vain. The two were about to leave when a man hurriedly ran up behind them. The man had a rag on his shoulder and a cloth bag in his hand. He didn't even look at Jiang Cheng and the two of them. He raised his hand and knocked on the door of the antique shop.
The door was knocked "bang bang", but there was still no sound inside. The fat man kindly told him: "Brother, please stop knocking, shopkeeper Qian is not here."
"Not there? "The man dressed like a buddy scratched the greasy Hair, blinking with confusion, "No, I saw shopkeeper Qian just now. He ordered a large batch of food from our shopkeeper, and promised to deliver it to him after he finished it. How...how did it happen in a blink of an eye? In a short time, the person disappeared?”
"Eat?"
"Yes." The boy opened the bag naturally and showed it to Fatty Jiangcheng. The bag was filled with food, including steamed buns, grilled naan, and a large piece of rice. The sticky cakes wrapped in leaves would definitely not be needed for a normal meal. Moreover, there were only staple foods but no vegetables. Jiang Cheng thought that these were prepared by shopkeeper Qian for the road. He planned to run away and leave Luo'an City.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng smiled and motioned to the clerk to just leave the things behind, "Shopkeeper Qian is out for the time being, and I'm here to see him too. You put the things here with me, and when he comes back, I'll transfer them to you." Him."
"伱?" The clerk asked, "Who are you?"
"I am a friend of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper asked me to come here."

Most of the waiters in the waiting room have learned how to recognize people. The waiter looked up and down in Jiangcheng. Although the other person was dressed strangely, his light and airy demeanor was as good as that of the young masters from the big clans in the city. In this way There is absolutely no reason for people to lie to such a small person like him.
"Then please leave it to this young man." The waiter said very politely to Jiang Cheng, then handed a large bag of food to the fat man and asked: "Remember, don't put the food on the ground. Shopkeeper Qian is a decent person. People.”
pick up The fat man realized after eating the food. It seemed that the other party regarded him as the doctor's follower. The doctor was the son of a wealthy family, and he was just the lackey around him. However, the fat man could not find any reason to be dissatisfied. After all, he had been in this way They all came here holding the doctor's lap.
After watching the guy go away, Jiang Cheng took Fatty around and finally came to the back door of the antique shop. Behind it was an inconspicuous alley, separated by a dilapidated wall. Jiang Cheng Seeing no one around, he jumped up, grabbed the edge of the wall with his hands, and climbed in a few times.
The fat man was carrying a large bag of food. His movements were no more sluggish than Jiang Cheng's. After landing, he looked around. There was a courtyard inside. It was not big, but the layout was messy. The back door was ajar and unlocked. Jiang Cheng and The fat man sneaked in quietly, and before he had taken a few steps, he saw a sneaky figure hiding behind the main door. He deliberately lowered his body, stuck out his butt, and looked out through the gap.
Who else could it be if he wasn't Shopkeeper Qian?
Jiang Cheng thought it was funny, so he quietly walked up behind Shopkeeper Qian, stretched out his hand and patted Shopkeeper Qian's shoulder gently, which frightened Shopkeeper Qian so much that he jumped up on the spot.
"Shopkeeper Qian, are you looking to see if we are leaving?" Jiang Cheng asked with his signature expression, a smile on his face but not a smile on his face.
Seeing Jiang Cheng suddenly appear in front of him, Shopkeeper Qian’s fleshy face was all tangled, but even so, he still had the courage to cheer himself up, "You... how did you get in? ”
“I can Let me tell you, if you dare to mess around, I will...I will call someone!" Shopkeeper Qian leaned against the door, his whole body shivering, and a big cold sweat dripped down his forehead. You can imagine the tension inside." There are officers and soldiers on the streets outside!”
"You scream, even if you scream, no one will pay attention to you!"
The fat man twitched his mouth and suddenly said this. In an instant, shopkeeper Qian looked at the fat man with something wrong. It seemed that this person was worse than Jiang Cheng. horrible.
But Jiang Cheng heard the implication in Shopkeeper Qian’s words. The information he instilled in Shopkeeper Qian was that they came from the Marquis Mansion, and the Marquis of Zhennan Mansion was the sky of Luo’an City, and he used the army to scare the Marquis of Zhennan. Are the people in the government overestimating their abilities?
Seeing that the leader Jiang Cheng hesitated, shopkeeper Qian, who was originally very frightened, seemed to have grasped the opponent's handle and threatened viciously: "How is it? You know you are afraid, right? You remnants of the previous dynasty, we will not offend you. River, you go your way, I'll go my way Dumuqiao, no one is allowed to mention the past, I just pretend it never happened."
This sentence made the fat man confused. He didn't understand how the shopkeeper Qian suddenly separated them from his predecessor. Chao Yi was involved, "What are you talking about?"
"Am I talking nonsense?" Shopkeeper Qian sneered and stared at Jiang Cheng's face, "You came to my place a few days ago to trick me and use your identity as the Marquis Mansion, didn't you just want to find out what happened near Chunshen Lake? , so as to deduce the time of the next low tide, haha, you are afraid that you still don’t know, you have been targeted by the people of the Hou Mansion for a long time, and as soon as you left, the people of the Hou Mansion came after you They came to the door. Although they did not clearly identify themselves, I could recognize the sign on the waist of the leading man. The white jade waist sign can open the gate of Luo'an City at night. The whole Luo'an City except the Hou Mansion Among the big shots, who else is qualified to hold it?"
Jiang Cheng probably understood the ins and outs of the matter and nodded calmly, pretending to be righteous. He straightened his body without hesitation and said: "Since you, Shopkeeper Qian, have seen through it all, there is no need for us to hide it. We are the martyrs of the previous dynasty."
"I don't care who you are, what I said today I'll pretend I haven't heard of it. You go away quickly. I tell you, I can't offend the Zhennan Hou Mansion, and I don't want to offend you either. Why don't I leave? I just want to do my business honestly. "
Jiang Cheng suddenly smiled and looked at Shopkeeper Qian with a thoughtful look, "Shopkeeper Qian, you are a smart man, you are not talking nonsense with the people in the Hou Mansion, are you?"
"No, don't worry, I, Mr. Qian, have a surprisingly strict mouth." Shopkeeper Qian seemed to feel that he had the right to speak in this negotiation, and he became more and more confident.
The fat man recalled the story that shopkeeper Qian told Jiang Cheng. Even when Jiang Cheng narrated the key points later, he told it for a full 20 minutes. This man had a bad mouth.
Shopkeeper Qian’s antique shop was very messy. It seemed that all the valuable things had been put away, leaving only a pile of shocking rags. Shopkeeper Qian also had a large package thrown next to him. , should be luggage needed on the road.
“Why don’t you leave yet?” Shopkeeper Qian said aggressively.
Jiang Cheng looked at him and suddenly smiled, "I'm not busy, Shopkeeper Qian. Before I leave, I want to borrow something from you. I wonder... is it convenient?" (End of Chapter)
