one step closer to the end

Zhao Guanren took out broken silver and threw it on the counter, and the little errand gave him six packs of cigarettes. The cigarettes were all wrapped in oiled paper. The front and back of Hongtashan and Hongmei were all pasted with a layer of cardboard pictures, but Cheap big front door with just a few words written on it.

"Uh~ no cigarette butt..."

Zhao Guanren was dumbfounded when he opened it and saw that there were no filters in the cigarettes, but Xiao Er actually held out a large box of cigarette holders, including jade, nanmu, and ox horns, and said with a smile: "Guest officer! The price-performance ratio is high, which one do you want?"

'Depend on!The price/performance ratio has come out, if it is not a time traveler, I will eat him...'

Zhao Guanren cursed angrily. Due to his lack of money, he had no choice but to choose a cigarette holder with horns. There was a copper ring on the cigarette holder, and the cigarettes would not fall off when stuffed in. But his old smoking gun lit one. After that, he almost died on the spot.

"I'll go! What a lot of energy..."

Zhao Guanren felt that he was on the top in an instant. The strength of this Hongtashan stick was comparable to smoking three sticks in a row, and it didn't have any flavor, so it was relatively mellow. When he changed to a mid-range red plum worth [-] yuan, he found that this taste was more suitable for him. .

"Master..."

Suddenly Yuniang came in crying, she had nothing to buy, she pointed outside and cried, "The aunt of the Bian family said that I stole their money and took away all the things you just bought, and beat them to death." Slapped me a few times, woo~"

"Damn it! I haven't looked for them yet, but they have come..."

Zhao Guanren walked out aggressively. A few servant girls were following a young woman, holding the things they had just bought, standing in front of the Bian's sword shop and talking to the shopkeeper. Judging by the shopkeeper's respectful attitude, the young woman should be a small steward.

"Yo~ I've come to ask your master for support, but you're justified in stealing money..."

The young woman looked at Zhao Guanren dismissively, Yuniang was crying behind him, and there were naturally a lot of strong men in the sword shop, Zhao Guanren's troubles must not be fruitful.

"Little lady! Can you be the master..."

Zhao Guanren stepped forward with a smile and said: "We educated people don't have the same knowledge as shrews, but today I want to negotiate a big deal with your Bian family. If you can say hello on behalf of Bian Xianglan, I, Zhang, will turn around and leave immediately." people!"

"Master Zhang San, right..."

The young woman smiled contemptuously and said: "Lantai County is such a big place, who doesn't know the situation in your family, so don't slap your face here and pretend to be fat, but if you can afford ten Xuanzi knives today, I will Make the decision for our eldest lady, and only charge you [-]%!"

"Okay! This is what you said, [-]% off, right..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the sword shop with his hands behind his back, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted him with a smile on his face. Any fool knows that a [-]% discount is also a big profit, and the servants of the merchant's family are also very shrewd.

Xuanzi Dao is the best sword that ordinary people can own, and the cheapest one costs more than 20 taels of silver, which is equivalent to the income of most ordinary people for a whole year, and not everyone can afford it.

"How much is this sword..."

Zhao Guanren walked to the saber rest in the middle, took out a white sheathed sword, and pulled it out to see that it was a good sword of the first grade of Xuan rank.

"Son!"

The shopkeeper came over and clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Your vision is really good. This white jade Xuanjia sword cuts iron like mud and is impenetrable by water vapor, but one handle only needs 50 taels of silver. "

"When~"

Zhao Guanren flicked the blade skillfully, shook his head and said, "The first class is low-level, not worthy of the name, but this scabbard is well-made, how about it! I only buy the scabbard, five hundred pairs, how much?"

"Huh? Why are you buying only the scabbard..."

"You don't care what I do, I can't go home and use it as firewood..."

Zhao Guanren looked at him angrily, and the shopkeeper counted with his fingers, and said, "This python skin scabbard is our unique craft, if you hadn't bought so many in one go, I wouldn't have sold it cheaply, and you would have bought a pair of them." Give 15 taels!"

"Oh~ I forgot the hilt of the sword, what if I add five hundred more hilts..."

Zhao Guanren flicked the hilt in his hand again, and the shopkeeper frowned and said, "My lord, did you find me happy? This sword can't be sold apart. If you really want to buy it, five hundred pairs of scabbard and handle will cost 25 taels." Vice, a total of 1 taels!"

"Hahaha……"

The young woman laughed with the maids, and the young woman even said sarcastically: "What are you pretending to be? Are you the one who can give out 1 taels? I don't think you can even get 500 taels!"

"Come, come! Folks, folks, come and bear witness for me..."

Zhao Guanren went to the steps outside the door and yelled for a while. After the melon-eating crowd gathered around, Zhao Guanren raised his sword and said loudly: "The shopkeeper of the Bian family said that this Xuanjia sword is 50 taels a handle, and it's [-]% off. Sell ​​it to me, right?"

"Yes, yes! What's wrong..."

The shopkeeper found something wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, but Zhao Guanren said again: "I want to buy five hundred pairs of this kind of scabbard and hilt. How much did you just say?"

"25 taels, but the price is still negotiable..."

The shopkeeper thought he thought the price was too high, but Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "No! I think the price is fair, but minus the scabbard and hilt, the blade is worth 25 taels a handle, and a 20% discount is [-] taels I want five hundred handles, but I don't want the sheath handle!"

"you……"

The shopkeeper suddenly widened his eyes, looking at Zhao Guanren's five fingers raised, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Why?"

Zhao Guanren sneered: "I ordered five hundred sword blades, and I went back to match the scabbard and handle by myself, can't you? You have written clearly on this cover that you can order swords of various sizes. Don't tell me your Bian family doesn't pay attention to credibility. Do you want to cheat too?"

"Old Gao! How much does this sword cost..."

The young woman hurriedly pulled the shopkeeper to the side, and the shopkeeper said anxiously: "The bill is more than 20 taels. If we add wages, we will have to pay five hundred handles to death. This traitor is really hateful, and he is clearly blackmailing!"

"Don't worry! I don't think he can afford the money..."

The young woman patted him calmly, walked back to the door and said with a smile: "My lord, you are joking. The most important thing for our Bian family is reputation. We always spit and nail each other. Don't say 1 taels of silver, even 10 taels." Shameless, my lord, please pay, accept 1 taels!"

"Wait! I'm going to the bank, no! I'm going to get the money..."

Zhao Guanren took out a bag of big front doors from his sleeve pocket, and passed them out to the onlookers with a smile. Then, under the shocked gaze of the young woman, he swaggered into the Xie's sword shop, and muttered to the shopkeeper who was watching the bustle, the shopkeeper immediately Laugh heartily.

"Not good! This little thief, this little thief..."

The young woman pointed at Zhao Guanren with red eyes, and soon saw Zhao Guanren pushing out a wheelbarrow with two heavy boxes of silver on it, pushed it in front of the young woman and smiled, "Master! The silver is here for you, five hundred handles Where is the Xuanjia Sword?"

"You, you, shameless..."

The young woman cursed angrily, but the shopkeeper's face was ashen, it was uglier than a dead mother.

"Come and see..."

The guys from the Xie family yelled at the opposite side: "The Bian family's shop is lying and denying the account, the Bian family is shameless, everyone come and see!"

"Bah~ untrustworthy person! Back-and-forth! What..."

The melon-eaters who had taken the cigarettes also spurned one after another, but a carriage stopped suddenly, and a heroic woman in a blue skirt shot out of the carriage, leaped up the steps with a blue sheathed sword in her hand, and said loudly: "Who said We're going to backtrack, Lao Gao! Pay!"

"Hey~Miss Bian! I almost didn't recognize it, Xiaosheng is so polite..."

Zhao Guanren smiled and clasped his fists. He almost didn't recognize Bian Xianglan when she put on her clothes, but she was dressed more like a heroine than a female boss in charge of business.

"Young master, don't blame..."

Bian Xianglan is also quite wealthy, and smiled politely: "I don't know etiquette, and I disturbed you, please come with me to the next door for a cup of tea. Xianglan will personally apologize to you, and I will definitely give you the sword!"

"It's okay! Just accept the account..."

Zhao Guanren bowed his hands to the melon-eating crowd, and led Yuniang into the tea shop next door.

"You are waiting outside..."

Bian Xianglan gave Yuniang a cold look, and directly led Zhao Guanren into the back hall. Who knows, there was a "whoosh", and a long sword was placed on his neck.

"Do you really think I dare not kill you..."

Bian Xianglan glared at Zhao Guanren viciously, without moving her sword steadily.

"Dare! Is there anything you Bian Laosi dare not do..."

Zhao Guanren smiled nonchalantly: "Yesterday we agreed to let me go, but then sent someone to ambush me, you little bastard who is going back on promises, don't give me any color, you really think I'm a fool, you kill me quickly Let me know, so that everyone knows that your Bian family runs a black shop!"

"you……"

Bian Xianglan raised her sword angrily and wanted to stab, but her silver teeth were crushed and she couldn't stab, but Zhao Guanren took out a small bamboo tube, poured out a roll of drawing paper from it, and slowly opened it with a smile: "Miss Bian! Please see how my painter is, isn't it beautiful?"

"You, you bastard, I'll kill you..."

Chapter 0422 Mansion Maid Little Donkey

"Tell me! Thank you for the benefits your family has given you, and what exactly do you want from me..."

Bian Xianglan was sitting in the tea room holding a small porcelain cup, her white hands were trembling, but she was not trembling from fright, but from anger, and her "Picture of a Beauty Getting Out of Bath" was torn up on the table. The eyebrows and eyes are drawn very much alike.

"100 taels!"

Zhao Guanren lit a cigarette with a smile, and frivolously blew on her. Bian Xianglan immediately shouted angrily, "For a mere 100 taels, how dare you... I'll give you 1 taels and burn all your broken pieces." Paintings, disappear from my eyes forever!"

"Although the painting is not very good, the beauty is really beautiful..."

Zhao Guanren clicked on the shredded paper on the table, and said, "This painting is the price for your rebellion, and 100 taels is the price for your servants to bully my maid, so I only want you 100 taels, and the remaining 900 taels, That's the money I paid you to repair the roof, understand?"

Bian Xianglan was shocked and said, "Are you really not from the Xie family?"

"Do I have to lie to you? I drew a hundred pictures of you going out of the bath, in various poses. If I don't go back tonight, they will be all over Lantai County..."

Zhao Guanren said with a smirk: "But one yard is worth one yard. I will pay you the rent. We have to settle the matter of you sending someone to kill me. It's not expensive to ask you for 20 taels of silver for a picture. Money and goods are two." After I finish, I will leave immediately, and you continue to be your innocent lady!"

"Hmph~ Isn't it extortion to talk for a long time..."

Bian Xianglan obviously relaxed, took out two bank notes from her belt and handed them to him.

"This is what will happen to you if you don't know what to do. Let me go yesterday..."

After Zhao Guanren took the 2000 taels of silver, he said with a smile, "For your sake, my lord, I will send you a message for free. The Xie family is going to tamper with your goods before the governor returns. It can give you a fatal blow!"

"Captain?"

Bian Xianglan was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "You are talking about the supervisor, but you keep saying that you are not from Xie's family, how can you know the secrets here!"

"It's not because of you. I was targeted when I came out of your house yesterday..."

Zhao Guanren stood up and said, "There are spies in your family who knew that I had caused trouble in the inner courtyard. They came to my house to investigate at night. I killed both thieves. They told me about this matter before they died. As for the truth. Go check it out yourself!"

"Wait!"

Bian Xianglan frowned and said, "Why do you care about my family? What is your intention?"

"Kind some more money! I don't know that you are in charge of the house, and your life is not easy..."

Zhao Guanren laughed and walked out, but Bian Xianglan caught up again and said, "Zhang Tiansheng! Before your eldest brother Zhang Tianbao was killed in battle, he had a very good personal relationship with my family, and I have never treated your maid badly. If you can help me, I can I'll give you another 2000 taels!"

"You still have the face to call me a maid..."

Zhao Guanren walked downstairs dismissively. Yuniang was sitting in the living room waiting, the young woman who had just provoked her and a few maids were standing by the door, and the shopkeeper of the sword shop. The five of them stood with their heads down. In a row, beads of sweat dripped down like water.

"Come here yourself to see my girl's injury..."

Zhao Guanren dragged Yuniang to the top of the stairs, and showed Bian Xianglan her clothes. Bian Xianglan ran down in surprise and said, "Who beat this, it was definitely not my order, and I have no knowledge of it!"

"hypocritical!"

Zhao Guanren led Yuniang to the door, pointed at the young woman and said, "Girl! Smack her big mouth, and I will slap all of these hard. Don't be afraid! The young master will support you!"

"Tell me first, who hurt you..."

Bian Xianglan came over in a hurry, and Yu Niang pointed at the young woman and said nervously: "She, she didn't give me money, I just asked for it once, and she often had people punish me for no reason, and...they forced me Serve the young master, if you don't go, hit me!"

After all, Yuniang didn't dare to identify the young master of the Bian family, knowing that this would make Bian Xianglan unable to come down, but Zhao Guanren said loudly: "What the hell are you talking about? If they beat you, you can beat you back. Who dares to fight back and kill me?" she!"

"Hit! Hit me hard, and when you're done, go back and get the family law..."

Bian Xianglan also stomped her feet to speak, and Yu Niang timidly went up and patted them a few times. Under Zhao Guanren's severe reprimand, she dared to raise her arms and slapped them hard a few times, knocking the girls to their knees on the ground. He covered his face and wept.

"Fourth Bian! Take care of yourself, we will have an indefinite future..."

Zhao Guanren threw a small bamboo tube to Bian Xianglan, which contained a bust of her, and led Yuniang away without looking back.

"Zhang Tiansheng! Wait a minute..."

Bian Xianglan didn't even answer after calling him twice, he knew that this girl was very suspicious, although he wanted to find out about the corpse monster, but if he asked at this time, he might cause a commotion for himself.

"Shopkeeper! You settle the bill with them yourself, I'll go first..."

Zhao Guanren waved at the shopkeeper of Xie's family opposite, and then took another good knife from Bian's shop, without paying a dime, and led Yuniang back triumphantly.

"My mother!"

Yu Niang suddenly let out a big breath, patted her chest with lingering fear and said: "Master! I was scared to death, my legs are so weak, I'm afraid something will happen to you!"

"What are you afraid of, young master? Did you just relieve your anger..."

Zhao Guanren suddenly hugged her into his arms and kissed her pretty pale face. Yu Niang said shyly, "Master! There are many people on the street, we can't be so aggressive, but... Young Master Xie is the master of the slave family, the slave family So relieved, so happy!"

"Then can we go home and wave..."

Zhao Guanren hugged her waist with a smile, thinking that the little girl is very attractive when her face is red, but Yu Niang said shyly: "Young Master! You can naturally have sex when you get home. Yu Niang will accompany you well, don't do this on the street. Well, people will laugh at us!"

"I'm not going home anymore! Let's go buy a house, a mansion, our haunted house can't live in people..."

Zhao Guanren took out a 1000 tael silver note and handed it to her. The little girl's legs almost went limp again, and she quickly stuffed the silver note into her chest. Where did the money come from, did the lady give it to you?"
