Xia Xie turned around with an innocent look on his face and asked, "Are you talking to me?" Then he raised his head and looked at the guy who was asking the question. [] The person who asked the question was about thirty years old and was wearing a black witch robe.
He is just a Yiding witch. The few minions behind him don't even have a Yiding, and they are not very old. One of them is the dandy boy in Anyi City.
The leader waved his hand and said: "Then take him back to me. If I catch his accomplices, I won't believe that I can't find the person who stole the things." After saying this, the group of people rushed forward and arrested Xia Xie.
When Xia Xie got up, he didn't want to cause trouble when he first arrived, so he did
Just let them do what they did. This group of people pressed Xia Xie through the streets and alleys. After a while, they arrived at a small private courtyard. The leader took Xia Xie inside and then closed the courtyard door. A group of people copied the guy.
Those who tied Xia Xie tied up Xia Xie, which obviously meant to torture him severely.
When the work was over, the guy who took the lead walked up to Xia Xie and pointed his whip at him: "Boy, all the elders are witches. You'd better not cause trouble for a mere mortal. Just explain it honestly. Otherwise, you're fine today."
Can’t survive.”
Xia Xie was tied to a pillar in the small courtyard, and the bright sunshine fell on him with a look of enjoyment on his face. He squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "What did that person steal from you and make you worry like this? I am
You're just passing by. You've made a mistake."
The leader immediately whipped him, and Xia Xie disappeared instantly. The leader was stunned for a moment, and then turned around to find that Xia Xie was already standing behind him. He picked him up and pushed him to the ground, and then laughed.
: "I think you guys really made a mistake, I won't accompany you today
You guys are done playing." After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave when a majestic murderous aura suddenly enveloped him, and then a surging sword aura hit him from behind. Xia Xie flipped his hand seals in an instant, and then disappeared in place, and that
The sword energy directly turned a rockery in the small courtyard into powder.
After Xia Xie turned over and landed on the ground, he looked up and saw a masked man. This guy was not tall and slightly thin. When he saw Xia Xie, he was stunned and said in surprise: "Whose family are you a retainer?"
Xia Xie was stunned and said, "Businessman? What the hell?"
The masked man sneered: "You'd better not pretend to be stupid. I think you also know the importance of the things that boy took away today. I advise you to let him hand over the things on his own initiative. I will pretend that this never happened."
What do you think about making friends with each other in the future?"
Xia Xie smiled and said: "I think you really misunderstood. I was just there to have a snack. There were so many of you and I caught someone, so I helped him out of good intentions. Who knew there was so much mess involved between you?
things."
The masked man said: "What a sweet talk. Who is your master? Don't think you can get away with it."
Xia Xie said for a while that even a snack would trigger an unusual murder. So he took out Ji Mie in an instant and said: "After all, you just want to fight. I can't do anything else. I want to ask how good you are in fighting today."
"
The masked man was immediately stunned when he saw the destruction in Xia Xie's hand. This thing is the treasure of the witch temple. He immediately took a step back and asked: "Are you from the witch temple too?"
Xia Xie felt depressed. He was completely dumbfounded by this hammer and blow. Why did he cause so much trouble now if he just did a good thing? He said impatiently: "I'm not from the witch temple."
People, if you want to fight me, I will leave."
The masked man immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "Young man is ignorant of Taishan. May I ask which hall you belong to?"
"Tangkou?" What is this? I just came to Anyi, and I accidentally let go of the person you wanted to arrest. Why did a lot of things happen? I asked you whether you want to fight or not. If you don't fight, I will leave.
I don't have time to chat with you here." Xia Xie said angrily.
The masked man hurriedly smiled and said: "I think this is a misunderstanding." Then he hurriedly opened the door and made an inviting gesture.
In the small courtyard, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Xia Xie go away. The person who captured Xia Xie wiped the cold sweat on his body and said: "I almost ruined the big thing. How come this witch temple got involved?"
The masked man said: "I think he doesn't know anything, or else he is a conservative member of the witch temple, and he came here specifically to spy on our news. But I don't think so. It's not safe here anymore. I'll give this little courtyard a try soon."
It's taken care of. Let's find a new base. As for that list, I'm very likely to fall into the hands of the enemy, and we're afraid that we'll be exposed. Inform the brothers at the door to leave the city for shelter first, and wait until the news is over."
The person who captured Xia Xie said, "Okay, I'll go right away." After saying that, he followed a group of people out of the courtyard in a hurry, and the masked man disappeared immediately.
Xia Xie's Yuanying listened to their conversation. Although their questions just now were irrelevant, there were still some traces. They must have a close relationship with the witch temple. He immediately took out a copy from his pocket.
List, which boy did this list come from? He thought that boy had stolen something good, so he stole it out of curiosity. How could he have thought of causing such trouble?
This is a problem. After calling the list, it was densely packed with names of a group of officials, many of which were marked with red circles. Xia Xie didn't know what this thing was for, so he immediately packed up the list.
At the same time, I also feel that although Anyi City looks calm on the surface, in fact, there are undercurrents and various forces are complicated. Naturally, I have to be more careful when I come here.
After walking around Anyi City, the excitement was over, and I suddenly felt like I had nothing to do. I can’t reveal my identity now, at least I have to wait until the envoys from the south also come to Anyi. This way, those with ulterior motives will put all their energy.
In looking for himself, Mo Shaoqing also
Be safe. Xia Xie walked leisurely and thought about what to do tomorrow. At this time, he accidentally saw a shop owner on the side of the street posting a war notice.
I want to sell out the shop.
Xia Xie raised his head and saw that this was a medicinal material store. He thought to himself that the medicinal materials he had collected in southern Xinjiang were still in his Qiankun bag, so he simply bought the store and dumped all the medicinal materials first. The money was still good.
Things. Now that we have lost contact with southern Xinjiang, it is difficult to stay in Anyi City without money.
Xia Xie walked into the medicinal material store. The medicinal material store was of a decent size. When the boss saw Xia Xie coming in, he greeted him with a smile and said, "This guest wants to buy some medicinal materials. The store is in the process of clearing out stock these days.
I can’t say the price at all.”
Xia Xie smiled and said: "Whatever, boss, your store is in a good location, why is it so hard to do business?" The boss sighed and said, "You are from out of town, right?"
Xia Xie was stunned and said: "How did you know?"
The boss looked frustrated and said: "If you are a local, you should know that if you want to buy medicinal materials, you have to go to Miaoshou Hall. There is a clinic there called Badingli Shaman, and it is said that they are a family of royal doctors. All the medicine shops in Anyi City follow their lead.
If anyone offends them, don’t even think about doing this business.”
Xia Xie asked curiously: "Did you offend them?"
The boss smiled bitterly and said: "I can't talk about offending. It's a long story. I'm not from Anyi. My hometown is in the Panlong Mountain area in the north. I was also born in the Liwu family and have been practicing medicine for generations. After I gained some fame, I wanted to come to Anyi to try it.
To try my luck, I came to Anyi with my family and opened this medicinal shop.
At first, I made some reputation in Anyi with my small skills, and my business was good. So I bought a house and land here, and planned to settle in Anyi in the future. Who would have thought that the good times would not last long. When Miaoshou Tang saw that my business was good, he asked me
What kind of medical fees are charged? It is said that to practice medicine in Anyi, you must obtain their consent. I am here
I had a bad temper, so I had a few arguments with them. It didn’t take long for officers and soldiers to come to the shop to cause trouble, and gangs in the city also started to make trouble. Then a patient came, and I clearly took medicine.
Yes, but the patient actually died. Now his family reported it to the police
Then he arrested the younger one. He was imprisoned for ten years. My beloved wife spent all her money to save me from prison. When I came out, she left me early because of overwork and illness. Now I have lost all hope.
I’m going to sell this place out and go home. This huge city of Anyi can’t accommodate me anymore. Alas!”
After hearing this, Xia Xie felt a little angry. This was obviously bullying, collusion between government and businessmen, and killing people with a borrowed knife. It was indeed a bit excessive. Xia Xie said: "These people are too bullying. If I were you, I would go and tear down their house."
.”
The boss said helplessly: "I am single and weak, so I can't fight them. It's okay not to say anything."
Xia Xie said: "In that case, how much does your store cost? I bought it."
The boss said solemnly: "Sir, if you want to buy, I have to tell you first. If this store wants to open a pharmacy again, it is absolutely impossible. Miaoshoutang has already announced that they will punish anyone who takes over this pharmacy."
.I have a good heart, and I would like to remind you first. Because Miaoshoutang has already offered me a price, but it is too low. If I offer it to them, I will get back all my money. Of course, there are a few people who are interested in acquiring it, but after hearing this
Then I gave up."
Xia Xie smiled and said: "Boss, you can rest assured. You just tell me the price, and the rest has nothing to do with you. It's time for you to go home. I still don't believe it. A mere Miaoshoutang dares to
Such arrogance. I wish they had some skills."
The boss was stunned and said: "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. I don't want to harm you. Just leave. The notice I put up is actually to say that I don't want to offend the people in their Miaoshou Hall. I'm waiting for them to come and take advantage of me."
Xia Xie smiled and said: "I understand your good intentions. Don't worry, I am the only one who bullies others in this world, no one dares to bully me."
The boss, Yi Xia Xie, had a firm attitude. He thought that if he sold it, he would sell it so that he could go home as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would almost lose the money he spent eating here every day. So he checked the medicinal materials around him, and his eyes felt a little reluctant to give up.
He gritted his teeth and said, "How do you like five hundred fine witch jade?"
Xia Xie took a look at the medicinal materials inside and the location of the shop. The price was much lower than the ordinary price. To be considered cost-effective, there must be a place to stay, so he smiled and said: "Then it's settled. I'll tell you later.
I’ll send you the money. When will we hand it over?”
The boss said: "If you send the money over, this shop will be yours. I won't take anything in it, only some daily necessities for our couple. You can follow me to the small courtyard at the back first, and there will be more in the back."
There are five rooms and a warehouse. Your family can be accommodated in it."
Xia Xie and the boss walked around and were very satisfied. The herbal medicine store has two floors, with a private courtyard at the back. The warehouse and bedrooms are all available. So he smiled and said: "Wait for a while, I will get the money.
.”
The boss said: "Well, if you're kind enough, I'll buy a carriage, pack it up, and leave this sad place while the city gate is open."
Xia Xie smiled and said: "That's fine." After saying that, he walked out of the drugstore, and the boss also went to close the shop, and they both left. Xia Xie wandered around for a while, and then bought a box of 600 pieces of witch jade.
I found a secluded place and put it inside. Then I hired two slaves to carry it to the door of the pharmacy. By this time, the boss had already cleaned up inside and outside.
OK. Xia Xie carried Wu Yu to the room for the boss to check and accept. The boss took out the land deed and handed it to Xia Xie as a deal. Then he packed up his things and put them on the carriage, turned to Xia Xie and said, "Little brother, you
Be careful. I'll give it up now, this shop will be yours from now on. Miaoshoutang is not easy to deal with, so you have to be more careful."
Xia Xie smiled and said: "Don't worry, just go home peacefully. It won't take long for me to make that Miaoshoutang happy."
The boss sighed and drove the carriage away. Xia Xie turned around and entered the medicine shop and started to get busy. He bought tens of thousands of boxes of medicinal materials from southern Xinjiang. It is estimated that they will be sold out and will take some time. Fortunately, the boss left.
I left myself a bill, Xia Xie
I checked the prices of various medicinal materials from the bill, and he will change the sign and open the business tomorrow. This is his first business. When he was in Kunwu, he had nothing to wear but food to eat. When he went to southern Xinjiang, everything was in Shaokang. He
Just keep fighting, now you have to rely on yourself for everything.
Xia Xie worked until late at night to clean up the pharmacy inside and out. Fortunately, he was not a mortal. Otherwise, it would have taken more than ten days to get tens of thousands of boxes of medicinal materials. Early the next morning
, Xia Xie went to find someone to customize a signboard and named it Huichun Hall. After noon, when the signboard arrived, he hired a group of bands to play and sing at the door, and it was officially opened.
