Settled in Qixia Town, started with Qingwen

Chapter 150
"Looking for us to be the head of the house?"

Chai Jiu was taken aback, he hadn't heard that the head of the family had any friendship with the high officials of Ximen.

It can be said that this is Ximenqing's first visit, the first time to patronize Yihonglou.

Chai Jiu was so polite only because he was famous, and he had never dealt with him before.

Not far away, Lei Li also frowned slightly.

He knows more than Chai Jiu.

Li Xin has already reminded him emphatically that this Ximen Qing is very dangerous, has high martial arts skills, and is suspected of being involved in the last assassination incident.

Therefore, when he suddenly came to the door and asked to see Li Xin by name, Lei Li had to be vigilant.

"Just looking for your boss, please go and report."

Ximen Qing smiled, looking very kind.

But his smile was always a bit evil.

However, after he finished speaking, he also put a coin of silver on the table, apparently for running errands.

"I'm going right now!"

Chai Jiu's eyes lit up, he put away the silver with a happy face, turned around and went to report.

As soon as he left, Ximen Qing had no one to entertain him.

Lei Li stepped forward and said, "What kind of tea do you want to drink?"

"Whatever you have here, just serve a pot."

Ximen Qing glanced at Lei Li's empty right sleeve, still smiling.

"Please wait."

Lei Li turned around and went to the back kitchen to make tea.

Ximen Qing sat leisurely and contentedly, gently waving the folding fan in his hand, acting like a nobleman.

But the aura displayed is not orthodox nobility after all, but evil.

In stark contrast to the rest of the guests in the lobby.

These guests all carry weapons with them, they are big and three rough, they are obviously drinking tea, but they are talking very loudly as if they are drinking.

Don't blame them either.

In fact, the drinking places elsewhere are full.

Come here, it would be nice to have a place to stay, sit and drink tea and chat together.

As for staying overnight, only some people who come early can stay in the hotel, and if they are late, they have to pay to live in a residential house.

So in Qixia Town these days, not only merchants can easily make money, but even ordinary civilians can make money lying down just by renting out their houses.

"Have you heard that the members of the Green Bamboo Gang have already entered the Great Snow Mountain?"

"It can't be so fast, right? The Snow Mountain is so heavy, how did they get in?"

"I don't know, maybe I just dug a way to get in."

"Hey, unless you have a better lightness skill and climb up the mountain to dig a way out of the snow, it's not enough for the Green Bamboo Gang to dispatch all of them!"

"Is that fake news? Let me tell you, how could the Immortal Treasure be found first by a mere Green Bamboo Gang."

"Not only the Green Bamboo Gang, but also many gangs have taken action! Among them are people from the Golden Knife Village!"

"Golden Knife Village? Don't talk nonsense, I saw their second master drinking in Fenglai Tower yesterday."

"Really, their second leader and his group are waiting in the town, but they sent a small team to the snow mountain."

The guests were chatting about some recent public news, Ximen Qing didn't interrupt, just kept smiling and listening.

As a person with deep ambitions, he is naturally also interested in treasures.

However, he stayed on hold for the time being, choosing to wait and see like most people.

It's just that he has an advantage. He belongs to the local snake in Qixia Town, and he lives here, so he can wait for work at leisure.

But for the Jianghu tourists who gathered here, every extra day they stayed here would cost them an extra day.

Expenses for board and lodging are mandatory.

Therefore, many of the poorer gangs or scattered people set up stalls on the street, or found another source of income, in order to maintain their expenses.

And those like the Green Bamboo Gang are action factions, going straight to Daxue Mountain to be one step ahead of others.

As for whether it will be successful or not, it is hard to say, and it is basically not optimistic.

Even if they succeed in obtaining the treasure and come back, they will be immediately besieged and robbed by the wait-and-see faction.

This is also the reason why there are more and more quacks in Qixia Town, but most of them stay in the town, and only a small part go to the snow mountain to act.

It's not easy to be a bird in the early days. After a lot of hard work to find the treasure, you have to worry about being picked by others.

Of course, this situation is also temporary.

If the time dragged on to summer, when the snow on Daxue Mountain melted and the roads were relatively smooth, then the quacks who gathered in Qixia Town would definitely swarm into Daxue Mountain to hunt for treasures.

Most people only hope that before then, the activists like the Green Bamboo Gang will never find the treasure, otherwise the treasure hunt will turn into a treasure hunt, and it will be all about hard work and not luck.

"Guest, your tea."

At this time, Lei Li served tea to Ximen Qing, as well as the accompanying peanuts and melon seeds.

Ximen Qing didn't move, and continued to sit for a while, and saw Chai Jiu come back.

And there are two other people, Li Xin and Li Yuanfang.

Li Xin also did not expect that as soon as he returned to the house, he heard Chai Jiu come to announce that Ximen Qing had come to look for him.

The other party's martial arts is very strong, so let's forget about welcoming him in, and decide to go out with Li Yuanfang to meet him.

"Master Li!"

Ximen Qing got up and bowed: "I take the liberty to come to visit, why bother Mr. Li to come out to greet him in person, it really frustrates me!"

"I'm flattered that Ximen officials are willing to come to my small place!"

Li Xin also smiled back.

Then sit down.

Li Yuanfang stood behind him.

"Excuse me, little brother, who speaks quickly, what is the high official's business doing to me?"

After being polite, Li Xin didn't talk nonsense and asked him directly why he came.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Mr. Li to be impatient, so I won't make any detours. I heard that Mr. Li went to Shuangqi Town a few years ago?"

Ximen Qing said with a smile.

This made Li Xin's face change slightly.

Sure enough, upon hearing the words "Shuangqi Town", the guests in the lobby immediately became quiet and pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the conversation clearly.

They originally thought that the boss here, and Ximenqing, the young master, didn't look like someone who knew martial arts, and they weren't from the world.

The two talked together, but they couldn't arouse their interest.

Unexpectedly, Ximen Qing became violent as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Haha, I have indeed been in that direction. I was looking for relatives at the time, but I didn't enter the town. At that time, there were many martial arts people in Shuangqi Town, and they were all vicious. How dare I go in."

Li Xin made a haha ​​and said casually.

As the boss of Yihonglou, he left Qixia Town for a few days a few years ago, and anyone who is interested can find out.

"Then Mr. Li didn't hear about it. Something big happened in Shuangqi Town? The clues about the fairy treasure that have been circulating in our town recently actually came from there."

Ximen Qing seemed to be speaking very seriously.

"I've heard that there's been such a big commotion these days, so why don't I hear about it?"

Li Xin was annoyed, he vaguely guessed the reason for Ximen Qing's visit.

It's just to test yourself, and to disgust people by the way.

Li Xin even thought that the last time he was attacked by a hidden weapon at his home, maybe it was Ximenqing who sent someone to come.

"The treasure of immortality, Mr. Li, aren't you tempted? Why don't we go on a treasure hunt together? If you get any extra news in Shuangqi Town, you might as well share it with me. I promise not to tell any third party."

Ximen Qing pretended to lower his voice when he spoke.

But in fact, the level of depression can be heard clearly by anyone in the lobby with a little basic internal skills.

"Brother Ximen, you really misunderstood me. I really didn't go to Shuangqi Town! Even if I did, I'm a businessman and have nothing to do with martial arts. How can I know more than others?"

Li Xin was helpless, Ximen Qing came to this move, mainly to test it.

If you really want to make trouble for yourself, the effect will not be great.

But still feeling sick.

It just couldn't hide.

Even if he had just chosen to welcome Ximen Qing into the courtyard to meet him, the latter could deliberately "encounter" him on the street and say such things to disgust people.

In short, in the past two days, Li Xin may be targeted by some Jiang Hu people, but it is basically fine.

"Really? Oh! That's fine, hehe."

Ximen Qing laughed and didn't hold on to it any longer.

"Brother Ximen, if there is nothing else, I will excuse you first."

Li Xin was too lazy to say more.

This Ximen Qing's martial arts is very high, he needs to be on the alert all the time, his nerves are tense, and he is too tired.

It's better to have less contact.

"Li Xiandi is busy, I'll just sit down and leave."

Ximen Qing smiled generously.

Li Xin called him "Brother Ximen", and he took advantage of the opportunity to call him "Brother Xian".

This made the corners of Li Xin's mouth twitch.

After giving Li Yuanfang a wink, the two did not return to the house, but went to the inn opposite.

He was going to find Bai Zhantang and tell him about Ximen Qing's sudden temptation.

When I came to the Tongfu Inn, I saw Xing Yusen was there, and his face seemed to be full of spirits, a little proud of himself.

He said loudly to everyone: "I announce that Qiu Xiaodong, the second young master of Qiu Yuan's family in this town, won the national Go player yesterday! Applause!"

Clap clap clap clap!
Tong Xiangyu, Guo Furong and Lu Xiucai all applauded.

Bai Zhantang didn't move, Li Dazui was in the kitchen, Mo Xiaobei was not.

And almost none of the guests who were fully seated responded, only a few sporadic people echoed and clapped their hands a few times.

It's normal, how can these quacks give Xing Yusen face.

But he was not embarrassed, and added: "Although it is backgammon."

"Hi!"

"cut!"

Tong Xiangyu and the others felt that they had been tricked.

"In order to celebrate this grand event in the chess world, Qiu Yuanwai decided to invite everyone to his home for shark fin hot pot!"

Xing Yusen said again.

"When?"

Tong Xiangyu said.

"Now! Right now!"

Xing Yusen pointed out the door, motioning for everyone to follow.

It's a pity that only the two regular customers from the town who clapped their hands got up and rushed out.

Because they all knew that Qiu Yuanwai could do such a thing.

How capricious is money.

"Hey, hey! You haven't paid the bill yet!"

It was too late for Tong Xiangyu to stop her.

"Huh? Aren't you going?"

Xing Yusen looked at the rest of the guests.

But what he got in return was the indifferent gaze. The gaze gathered by these quacks was so stressful that Xing Yusen immediately turned pale and couldn't help but take a step back.

"It's fine if you don't go, I'll go!"

Xing Yusen turned his head and saw Li Xin and the two of them.

"Li, Mr. Li, go eat shark fin hotpot!"

Like Yan Xiaoliu, he was a little apprehensive towards Li Xin.

I am also a little uncertain about Li Xin's background.

I vaguely feel that Li Xin knows some important person.

So the last time he broke half of the gate of Yihong Building, he obediently lost money.

Right now, he is biting the bullet and trying to get close.

Rather than completely tearing his face apart with Bai Zhantang, he felt that his relationship with Li Xin could still be fought over, to see if he could repair it.

"I'm not interested, go by yourself."

Li Xin would not speak ill of him, and said casually.

"Cough! Then I'll go first."

Xing Yusen straightened his chest and stepped out of the door.

Li Xin was a little puzzled, why is Lao Xing's attitude a bit strange.

Then he asked Tong Xiangyu, "What happened to him?"

"Old Xing was sued by us, and the county magistrate Lou is short of manpower recently, so he will not be dismissed, and he is going to transfer him away. He feels that it was a blessing in disguise, so he came to thank us."

Tong Xiangyu stroked his forehead and said.

"He is going to be transferred to Shibalipu. He feels that there is no goddess catcher there. He can work hard and compete for the position of head catcher."

Lu Xiucai added.

Shibalipu is located in the southwest of Qixia Town, halfway between the town and Luocheng, and further south.

People from all walks of life gather in Qixia Town. Although Shibalipu is slightly worse, the flow of people has also increased sharply.

"Once he leaves, our town will be much cleaner."

Bai Zhantang was obviously so happy.

He already disliked Xing Yusen.

"Brother Bai, I just..."

Li Xin walked over, wanting to talk about Ximen Qing.

It was interrupted by a louder voice.

It was Mrs. Genbao, who showed up at the door with her son Xiaobao, and screamed, "Tong Xiangyu, get the hell out of here! Look at how our Xiaobao has been beaten up!"

"What's it called!"

Tong Xiangyu inevitably affected the guests, so he walked out.

Guo Furong was curious about what was going on, and followed her out.

As soon as Li Xin saw that it was Mrs. Genbao, he knew that the matter was not serious, so he continued to whisper to Bai Zhantang about the matter.

After saying a few words, Bai Zhantang also frowned and said, "So, that Ximen Qing is quite difficult? Do you want me to follow him and feel his bottom?"

"Brother Bai is willing to make a move, of course it would be great!"

Li Xin is at ease with Bai Zhantang.

Li Yuanfang peeped at Ximen Qing and was almost discovered.

Changed to Thief Saint, it is naturally different.

"Okay, I'll go take a look tonight."

Bai Zhantang showed a certain kind of smile.

Kind of obscene.

He could guess with his toes that Bai Zhantang wanted to take the opportunity to take a look at Mrs. Pan, and it would be best if he could peek into the "good things" between the two.

"Mo Xiaobei! Mo Xiaobei!"

At this time, Tong Xiangyu walked back to the lobby, and it turned into her yelling.

His face was full of anger.

"Ah, Xiaobei is not here, shopkeeper, you can't listen to one side's words, that Mrs. Genbao is not a good person, and there is no truth in her mouth."

Guo Furong persuaded from the side.

"Her words may be false, but the wound on her son's face can't be fake! I sent Xiaobei to school for so long to let her learn well, not to bully the weak!"

Tong Xiangyu said bitterly.

"Shopkeeper Tong, I think Ms. Guo is right. Before the matter is cleared up, don't think that Xiaobei made a mistake."

Li Xin rarely intervened.

He knew too well what Mrs. Gen Bao was, and her son was not a good guy either.

"Don't worry about Mr. Li. As a sister-in-law, I must be responsible for disciplining Xiao Bei, otherwise her brother will blame me under the nine springs."

After Tong Xiangyu finished speaking, he rushed to the backyard to find Mo Xiaobei.

"Ah, shopkeeper, Xiao Bei is really not here."

Guo Furong followed.
