The water along the official road has receded long ago, but it is still very muddy.
When Lu Fang arrived in Tanzhou, it was still early.
First, he went to Dengke Bookstore to find Xu Zhen and asked Xu Zhen to go to Prince Rong's Mansion to help him call Liang Dong.
Xu Zhen was a little bit dumbfounded.
He is now almost becoming the "liaison" between Lu Fang and Liang Dong.
But Lu Fang is now his God of Wealth.
Liaozhai Zhiyi was printed by him. In addition to making money, the reputation of Dengke Bookstore also increased with the hot sales of Liaozhai Zhiyi.
The benefits in the future will definitely be huge.
Therefore, he responded to Lu Fang's requests.
I couldn't laugh or cry in my heart, but I happily agreed, and then asked Lu Fang to rest upstairs while he went to Prince Rong's Mansion.
Lu Fang did not go upstairs to rest, but went to Tongda Pawn Hall on his own.
It had been half a month since he had just taken a trip in Lu Lin's luxurious carriage. His road blind attribute had successfully made him forget how to get to the pawn shop.
Fortunately, Tongda Pawn Shop is quite famous in Tanzhou City. Two people were caught on the street asking for directions, and Lu Fang finally succeeded in walking to the door of Tongda Pawn Shop.
When we got inside, the boy came up to us and asked, "What do you want to pawn, sir?"
Lu Fang said: "I'm here to buy something. Is your shopkeeper Zhong here?"
The boy looked him over and over, but he had no impression of him anymore, so he couldn't help asking: "May I ask who the young master is?"
Although Shopkeeper Zhong is only the manager of Tongtong Pawn Shop, he can't meet anyone who wants to. Those who can be received by him in person must be guests with some status.
Lu Fang said: "Lu Fang."
"Sir, please wait a moment."
The boy walked inside with doubt on his face.
He had never heard of the name Lu Fang.
What surprised him was that when he told Shopkeeper Zhong that a young master named Lu Fang was looking for him, Shopkeeper Zhong immediately put down what he was doing and asked, "Is he outside?"
With that said, he walked outside.
The boy couldn't help but ask: "Shopkeeper, what is the background of Mr. Lu Fang?"
Shopkeeper Zhong turned around and said, "Don't talk too much if you're not supposed to ask."
The boy's face was full of astonishment.
Then I heard Shopkeeper Zhong talking to himself: "Oh, why is he here again!"
This made the young man, a monk who was only two feet tall, confused.
"Master Lu! Long time no see, long time no see!"
As soon as shopkeeper Zhong arrived in front of the shop, he smiled and cupped his hands when he saw Lu Fang.
There seemed to be a bit of bitterness in this smile.
Lu Fang didn't notice, and returned the salute with a smile, "Shopkeeper Zhong."
Shopkeeper Zhong walked up to him and said, "Master Lu, are you here again to buy bone essence pills and earth spirit grass?"
"Um."
Lu Fang nodded and said, "I still need a third mate."
Not to mention the boy following behind, even shopkeeper Zhong looked a little surprised.
Three sets of earth spirit grass and bone-purifying pills, this is no small business.
Regardless of the Earth Spirit Grass, the Bone-Purifying Pill is only common among the elixirs for improving root and bone, but in fact it is difficult to find anything else more expensive than this in the Chongqing Dynasty.
Even the luxury goods used by the high-ranking officials and nobles in the imperial city are usually not so expensive.
It can cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Then he looked at Lu Fang, smiled bitterly and said, "No problem. Come on, Mr. Lu, please sit inside and have some tea. I'll go to the warehouse to get it."
This time Lu Fang noticed it and frowned: "Is the warehouse far away? Why does the shopkeeper look like this?"
"no……"
Shopkeeper Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, just wait a moment."
Then he said to the boy: "Take Mr. Lu to have some tea."
Lu Fang also felt baffled, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought that shopkeeper Zhong had something to worry about, so he followed the boy into the tea room.
Shopkeeper Zhong returned to his room, frowned and pondered.
"well……"
Sighing one after another.
He is really worried now,
Because after Pan Kui had a conflict with Lu Fang here last time and left, he came back with a carbine and told him that if Lu Fang came to Tongda Pawn Shop again in the future, he must inform her immediately.
This is a hot potato.
He can't afford to offend Pan Kui.
And he can't afford to offend Lu Lin and Liang Dong, who may be standing behind Lu Fang!
It would be fine if it was just Lu Lin, but the problem is Liang Dong. Who in the entire Jingnan County can offend him?
Shopkeeper Zhong felt like he was being roasted on the fire by that fat bitch Pan Kui.
I had been praying all the time these days, thinking that Lu Fang would not come to Tongda Pawn Shop again. Unexpectedly, Lu Fang came anyway.
"no."
He gritted his teeth and muttered: "We can't offend Young Master Lu and His Highness the Crown Prince for such a useless thing."
After the words fell, he walked out of the house again.
Then he waved to the young man and said in a low voice: "Now go to the governor's house and tell Miss Pan that Mr. Lu Fang has come to our Tongda Pawn Shop."
The boy didn't ask any more questions. He agreed and ran out.
Shopkeeper Zhong looked in the direction of the tea room, frowned slightly, and walked into the tea room.
At this time, Lu Fang was drinking tea inside.
Seeing shopkeeper Zhong come in, he said, "Here you go?"
"You go out first."
Shopkeeper Zhong said to the boy.
After the boy walked out full of doubts, he walked up to Mr. Lu and said with a guilty look on his face: "Mr. Lu, I can't help you..."
Lu Fang was a little stunned, "Why did Shopkeeper Zhong say this?"
Shopkeeper Zhong sighed and said, "Mr. Lu, please hurry up and tell Mr. Lu or His Highness the Crown Prince to come over. Miss Pan... will be here soon."
When Lu Fang heard this, his color changed slightly.
Then he looked at Shopkeeper Zhong and his expression became very cold, "Shopkeeper Zhong is a businessman after all. Did he sell me out?"
"I am helpless too!"
Shopkeeper Zhong said with a guilty look on his face: "Last time, just after you left, Miss Pan came back again. She said that if I want to see you again, I must inform her. Otherwise, she will give us the good news of Tongdao Pawn Shop. You
He said, our Tongda Pawn Shop is just a place for business, how dare you mess with Miss Pan!"
"hehe."
Lu Fang sneered, "You are worthy of being the shopkeeper. Lu admires your job in Ercheng Mansion."
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If I want to leave now, you won't let me go, right?"
Shopkeeper Zhong smiled sarcastically, "Actually...if you want to leave, we can't stop you, right?"
Lu Fang lowered his head and drank tea.
But he was making calculations in his mind.
He can think clearly about the tricks played by shopkeeper Zhong.
Shopkeeper Zhong just wanted to take out Tongda Pawn Shop without offending both parties. So he went to inform Pan Kui and told him everything here.
If he takes the initiative to say it, then even if he wants to cause trouble for him, he won't be embarrassed to be too harsh.
And if he didn't get help from Lu Lin or Liang Dong and was dealt with by Pan Kui, he, shopkeeper Zhong, wouldn't care.
He wouldn't even mind following Pan Kui and stepping on him.
People without strength will not get justice.
So should I just leave now, or should I ask someone to invite Liang Dong to fight with Pan Kui?
Why not take this opportunity to test Liang Dong's position?
