Prodigal Goro-kun

Wandering around the East City while leading the horse, Yan Qiuer suddenly realized that he had miscalculated.

It was inconvenient for him to walk around the East Market, and he didn't bring Jindou with him today, so no one helped him to buy some interesting things.Should it be tied to a horse?Yan Qiuer turned his head to look at the horse that was getting in the way in the crowd, wondering if it would be even more of a hindrance if he hung a cloth pocket on the horse?

Sweeping his gaze from somewhere, Yan Qiuer's eyes suddenly narrowed, his eyebrows frowned slightly as if he was puzzled, and then he led his only coolie to find a mule and horse dealer, and sold the horse directly up.

After that, Yan Qiuer first went to a clothing store, picked two bolts of high-quality silk and satin to order clothes, left the money and told the shopkeeper to send the finished clothes to Yan's house, then left the clothing store and went to Stepping into a jade shop, he didn't come across any jades that were eye-catching, so he left and went to a pastry shop. Although this shop couldn't compare with Jinyu Pavilion, Yan Qiuer still bought a horseshoe cake to pack, and then Going back and forth between the stalls in Dongshi, eating pastries, while looking at the small objects on those stalls, walking, I saw Xiao He standing next to a certain stall, and his eyes were on Xiao He's side again After searching, Yan Qiuer found Yan Sheng.

But Yan Qiuer thought about it, but instead of looking for Yansheng, he slipped away when Yansheng didn't see him.

There were two troublesome people following him. They had been following him since he sold the horse, and they didn't know who they were. Anyway, there was no need to lure Yansheng to him.

But Yan Qiuer didn't know those two people, they were just two ordinary people in their attire, and they looked like they had done a lot of physical work, and Yan Qiuer only thought that those two people The temperament is like a gambler, but no matter who the other party is, they should have no grievances or enmities with him, right?But why have these two people been following him since the beginning?If there is no complaint, then it is instigated by others?

Yan Qiuer gradually turned out of the bustling Dongshi, and went to the relatively quiet Xuanyangfang on the west side of the Dongshi. As soon as she stepped into the gate, Yan Qiuer suddenly started to run wildly, and quickly went into an alley.

As Yan Qiuer expected, when he ran, the people who had been following him became anxious and ran to catch up in a panic.

With the corner of his mouth raised, Yan Qiuer suddenly turned quickly along the wall, then leaned against the wall and waited quietly for the two people behind to catch up.

The heavy and chaotic footsteps were getting closer, and the two suddenly ran past Yan Qiuer.Yan Qiuer quietly leaned against the wall, watching with great interest the two people looking for the missing figure in panic and surprise.

But those two people looked left and right for a while, but none of them knew to turn around. Yan Qiuer was bored watching, and suddenly broke off a piece of horseshoe cake and threw it at the back of one of the people's head. Personal attention, and then Yan Qiuer said: "The weather is sunny today, what are you two in a hurry going to do?"

This young gentleman knows that the two of them are following behind?The two strong men were startled, and suddenly looked at Yan Qiuer with fierce faces.

Sigh...why do some people always like to put on a fierce look to scare people?With such an unattractive face, coupled with malicious intentions, he really wanted to punch him!

Enduring it, Yan Qiuer spoke softly before the two of them could speak: "Look at the two of you, your complexions are turning black and your face is turning blue, it seems that there is a bloody disaster today. Be careful of strangers when you walk on the road. A noble person will not suddenly become a broom star, and you are not afraid of bad luck, but the most fearful thing is that you will lose your life."

Yan Qiuer's seemingly typical words and sentences made with a magic stick really frightened the two ordinary people. Before they said anything or did anything, Yan Qiuer frightened them into timidity.However, the two of them only showed a little timidity and did not give up their malice towards Yan Qiuer.

One of the two was more courageous and shouted at Yan Qiu'er with a bull's eye: "Stop talking nonsense! If you don't want to suffer, hand over all your valuables!"

Robbery?Yan Qiuer carefully looked at the expressions of these two people again, but felt that the main purpose of these two people was not to steal money.His money bag is hanging on his waist. These two people have been with him for so long, and they should have seen him withdrawing money, but at this time, the two people who said they wanted to rob the money didn't even have a second glance. His purse, as the main prop, isn't his purse somewhat neglected?

"Stinky boy! What are you doing so dawdly?! Hand over the money!" As he spoke, a strong man stretched out his hand to push Yan Qiuer.

Yan Qiu'er's eyes sank, she turned her shoulder slightly to avoid the strong man's hand, untied the purse happily, and threw it out: "Here, here are all my belongings."

Another strong man grabbed the money bag flying over, feeling a little dazed for a moment.As soon as the money bag fell into his hand, the man knew that there was a lot of money in it.But... this young gentleman from a rich family handed over his money to two robbers so easily?Not even begging for mercy?If the rich and noble people in Chang'an City are as forthright as this young man, then they will all be rich!

But the young man gave the money so happily, it was difficult for the two of them.The man's order was to make this little man suffer a little. They originally planned to beat him up when he hesitated or begged for mercy, but now it seems that they missed the opportunity with the wrong reason?

The two strong men looked at each other, and the man who was about to hit him gritted his teeth, turned his head and continued to threaten Yan Qiuer: "Just this little money? Do you think my two brothers are three-year-old babies? Hurry up." Quickly take out all the valuables on your body!"

"I……"

"Come here! Someone is robbing! It's robbing! Come and arrest someone! This way! Come quickly, over here!"

Suddenly a man shouted loudly at the entrance of the alley, not only the two strong men, even Yan Qiuer was taken aback, poking his head out from the corner of the wall, Yan Qiuer saw the man desperately calling for help at the entrance of the alley, Although it was difficult to see the other party's expression clearly because of the distance, Yan Qiuer guessed that he had already found a helper.And the strange thing is that there is a golden number on the top of the man's head, which is different from the red and green of other people. The one on the top of his head is golden.

The two strong men were obviously not as relaxed and comfortable as Yan Qiuer. When they heard someone calling for help, they panicked and ran away after secretly cursing.

"Hey! Where are you two going?" How could Yan Qiuer let these two go so easily?He still hasn't figured out the purpose of these two people!So Yan Qiuer raised his foot and kicked the back of the strong man holding the money bag.

"Ouch!" The brawny man didn't expect that the young man, who was as thin and weak as Yan Qiuer, would have such great strength, and after being kicked in the back, he fell solidly into the mud.

Without waiting for the fallen strong man to make any resistance, Yan Qiuer stepped forward in two steps and stepped on the strong man's back, so as not to let the strong man get up again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other strong man ran away regardless of his companions.

"Tsk tsk! You really don't have a heart of friendship. I said, don't you choose your companions without looking at their character?" Yan Qiuer asked, while stepping on the strong man's back twice, leaving three overlapping footprints .

"Pfft! Stop talking nonsense! If you want to kill or cut, you will do as you please!" The strong man spat out the dirt he accidentally ate in his mouth, and said arrogantly, sticking his neck.

"Oh? So straightforward? I can kill you or cut me up?" Yan Qiuer chuckled, squatted down, and took out a dagger from his boots, "Then tell me, if I want to cut you up, where do I do it?" How about starting?"

"I...huh!" Seeing the dagger, the strong man panicked a little, but when he thought that the one riding on his back was just a young gentleman, those words must be just to bluff people, what was he afraid of? ?So the strong man continued to be arrogant, snorted coldly, and turned his face to the other side, not looking at the dagger, maybe he would be more courageous.

"Heh, do you really follow me?" Yan Qiuer's eyes sharpened, the dagger swung in his hand, and stabbed down abruptly.

With a sound of "clang", the dagger was deeply inserted into the ground, the blade of the dagger brushed against the strong man's nose, and left a thin bloody gash on the tip of the strong man's nose.

"Oh! It's crooked." Yan Qiuer pulled out the dagger regretfully, rubbed the dirt off the strong man's clothes, and said briskly while rubbing, "Don't worry, it won't be crooked next time."

When the silver light of the dagger flashed across his eyes, the strong man was dumbfounded. When he felt a little tingling on his nose, the strong man stretched out his hand to touch it, and found a little blood on his fingertips. Listening to Yan Qiuer's mood Quite well, he said that he would not stick crooked next time, but the strong man suddenly screamed.

"Little Lang, spare your life! Little Lang, spare your life! The little one doesn't dare! The little one doesn't dare anymore!" The strong man cried while thrashing.

"Huh? Why are you begging for mercy? It's obvious that you said to follow me."

"Little Lang, please spare me! It's the little one who has no eyes! It's the little one who has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai! Please spare my life, Little Lang! I'll give you back this money, this money!"

Yan Qiu'er looked at the lifted money bag, chuckled lightly, and said, "My lord is not short of that money."

Hearing this, the strong man's face froze.He, he doesn't want money anymore?So what does he want?Could it be that he really wanted his life? !

"Xiao Langjun, please forgive others." The man who was calling for help at the entrance of the alley did not know when he came to Yan Qiuer's side. Yan Qiuer.

"After following me for a long time, I thought you just wanted to call for help for me, why haven't you left yet?" Yan Qiuer pouted.It was rare that he was able to act alone once, but he was followed by three people. Could it be that he exuded an aura of begging to be followed?Will he dare to go out alone in the future?

"I'm sorry." The smile on the man's face froze instantly, and he handed the money bag back to Yan Qiuer in embarrassment, and said, "But I really need to find Mr. Xiaolang. I didn't find a suitable opportunity to talk to him, so I kept following Xiao Langjun. On the way, I saw these two people got orders to follow Xiao Langjun. I was afraid that these two people would be bad for Xiao Langjun, but I didn't expect it to be Too much to worry about. But these two people were also bought by others, just greedy for money, can you please let Xiao Lang-jun let them go?"

"You said that the two of them were bought by someone? Then you saw the person behind the scenes?" Yan Qiuer inserted the dagger back into his boot, but still sat on the strong man's back and did not get up.

"I just happened to see it." The man regained his calm smile and looked at Yan Qiuer sincerely.

Yan Qiuer thought for a while, and said to the man: "You just saw it, but you don't recognize that person, right?"

The man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xiao Langjun is quick-witted, that's true."

"Xiao Langjun, I don't know who that person is, I only know that the clothes on his body are all high-end materials, he must be a gentleman from a wealthy family, but he just came to us to do business, and he only gave us some money. , how could it be possible to tell us his identity! I beg you, Mr. Xiaolang, to show kindness and let the little one go! The little one, the old one and the one below..."

"Got it! Don't talk nonsense." Yan Qiuer rolled her eyes and stood up from the strong man's back, "Next time I catch you stealing people's property, I will cut off your hand!"

If you think about it carefully, he just went to Dongshi today on a whim. If someone wants to harm him, he can only see him in Dongshi by chance. He doesn't have time to make precise arrangements. Maybe that person should be in Dongshi. The city randomly picked two healthy-looking people, gave them some money, and then asked these two people to come and make him suffer a little bit.Judging from the appearance of these two strong men, they don't look like experienced people, at most they just look scary.

"Yes, yes, yes! I don't dare, I don't dare anymore!" The weight on his back disappeared, and the strong man got up immediately, bowed to Yan Qiuer and ran away scrambling.

"Xiao Langjun just let him go like this?" Seeing the man running away, the man was a little worried.

Yan Qiuer rolled her eyes.Who is this man?

"Didn't your Excellency ask me to forgive and forgive others just now? Why do you think it's not good for me to let someone go?"

"This..." The man was a little embarrassed, his face flushed slightly.

"Forget it, I just want to know who is behind the scenes who made them embarrass me, and I don't intend to embarrass them. This time I was frightened and taught them a little lesson. If you don't know how to repent , the next time we meet again, it won’t be so easy.”

"But Mr. Xiao Lang doesn't know who the person who wants to harm you is?" The man frowned.

Yan Qiuer pouted secretly.Why is this person's brain a little dull?

"Haven't you met before? Although you don't recognize him, you still remember the other person's appearance, right? If you bring someone in front of you, might you recognize him?"

When the man heard this, he immediately swore: "Of course I can recognize him! As long as I see him again, I will definitely recognize him!"

"Then it will be done." Yan Qiuer raised his foot and walked towards the entrance of the alley, "Your Excellency just said that you need me for something, why are you looking for me?"

What does the golden number on this man's head mean?Look at this golden color, it must mean that it is very beneficial to him, right?Just because of this golden number, he had to see why this person was looking for him.

"This..." It was obviously the man who came to look for Yan Qiuer on his own initiative, but when Yan Qiuer mentioned what happened, the man hesitated and refused to speak.

"What? It's something hard to talk about?" Yan Qiuer paused, turned around and looked at the man with a puzzled expression, "If you want to borrow money, you can just say so."

"No, it's not borrowing money!" Upon hearing the word "borrowing money", the man retorted subconsciously, but after the rebuttal, he felt that something was wrong, and he added an explanation in embarrassment, "It's not that we don't borrow money... Anyway... Anyway, Xiao Lang Can you come with me first? When we get to the place, Mr. Xiaolang will know what's going on."

so mysterious?The more the man didn't want to speak out, the more Yan Qiuer wanted to know the answer, so he tied the purse again, and Yan Qiuer let the man lead the way, while she leisurely followed the man.

The two of them were silent all the way, Yan Qiuer wrote down the places they passed along the way, and at the same time looked at the man walking in front of him.

The clothes this man is wearing are not high-quality, but they are not affordable by ordinary people. Could it be that this man is from a small merchant?Hmm...not like that, the gentleman from a small merchant family rarely has such a calm and introverted demeanor, just looking at him from behind, he seems to be from a scholarly family.But if you come from a scholarly family, what do you come to see him for?

Just as she was thinking, Yan Qiuer suddenly caught sight of a familiar door, above the high lintel hung a plaque with three large characters written on it: Pingkangfang.

……What's the situation now?Why did the person in front take him into Pingkangfang?Could it be that someone from a building in the square fell in love with him and came to beg him to redeem him?

"Xiao Langjun, we're here." Just when Yan Qiuer's thoughts became more and more wild like a wild horse, the man finally stopped and looked at Yan Qiuer with embarrassment.

Yan Qiuer stopped first, then froze for a moment, and then began to look at the small building in front of him.

This building is located in the west of Pingkangfang, the third building from the side of the square gate.The building is not high, with only two floors, and the front door is not big. There is a plaque between the first floor and the second floor. On the plaque is written the words "Huayue Pavilion", which is the name of the store.More importantly, there is also a golden figure on the top of this building.

Yan Qiuer narrowed his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

After following him for a while, just to take him to a brothel in Pingkangfang that doesn't seem to be very profitable?

"Can I invite Mr. Xiao Lang to talk in detail?" Knowing that he was wrong, the man even weakened his tone of voice, and seemed a bit servile in front of a person who was many years younger than him.

"Your Excellency, you'd better come up with a reasonable reason." With a cold snort, Yan Qiuer pushed the door of Huayue Pavilion and walked in with an unhappy expression.

As soon as Fu entered the door, Yan Qiuer was taken aback by the men and women sitting in the hall.Today's Lantern Festival, don't these people need to have a good rest during the day and prepare for welcoming guests at night?

"My God! Qing Jue really invited people here!"

"Oh my god! This young man is so handsome!"

"Look at that thin-skinned and tender-skinned girl, she looks like a lady at first glance!"

"Stop being rude!" The man came in after Yan Qiuer. He was startled when he heard these indecent words when he entered the door. He stopped immediately and looked at Yan Qiuer's face carefully. Yan Qiuer didn't seem to be angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Young Lord, they don't understand the rules, so please don't care about vulgar people like me. Please sit down."

Yan Qiuer glanced at the man, and sat down where the man pointed with a cold face: "Can we talk now?"

Qing Jue knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and pleaded guilty to Yan Qiuer: "Please forgive me, Mr. Xiaolang. The lowly slave didn't intend to hide it, it's just...but if it wasn't so, the lowly slave was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to invite Mr. Xiaolang."

As soon as Qing Jue finished speaking, all the men and women in the lobby knelt down.

Yan Qiuer sneered, and said, "You have invited me now, but do you think I will agree to your request when I come?"

Yan Qiuer glanced across the lobby, and found that the men among the women were not servants here, looking at the attire, they seemed to be servants?

Qing Jue bit her lip, speechless to refute.

"Anyway, Mr. Xiao Lang has money anyway, so what if I help?" Some people in the crowd were not angry, but their voices dropped after they said this, as if they were stopped by someone.

"My lord is rich?" Yan Qiuer frowned and asked with a sneer, "How do you know that I am rich?"

"It came from Qingping Lefang!" Another person said quickly, "A few days ago, people from Qingping Lefang went around showing off, saying that the regular customers brought a young man there, and the money was generous, and the rewards were all Jin Douzi! As soon as the servants inquired, they knew that it was Lord Wulang of the Yan family."

Yan Qiuer was taken aback for a moment, and then helped his forehead.It turned out to be his own fault.Thinking of money, Yan Qiuer cast another glance at Qing Jue.It turned out that this person took the money bag from the strong man before, not to return him, but to keep it for themselves!There are many eyes!

Yan Qiuer snorted coldly again, this snort made Qing Jue and the others tremble.

Yan Qiuer looked at the people in front of him one by one, thought about the two golden numbers, pouted, and said coldly: "Get up, isn't it uncomfortable to talk on your knees? After talking for a long time, no one followed Shall I tell you why you are looking for me?"

The whole room looked at each other, helping each other to stand up, a group of people gave Qing Jue an encouraging look, telling Qing Jue to have the courage to discuss with Yan Qiuer.

"Back to Mr. Xiaolang, it's like this. There are quite a lot of Qinlou and Chu restaurants in our Pingkangfang, and there are 26 in total. But because of the large number of shops, life is also sad. Compared with shops like Qingpinglefang , we can only make a living, but... But recently, there have been rumors that the Zuo family is coming to buy some stores, and they want to open one that can compete with Qingping Lefang."

Zuojia?Yan Qiuer rolled her eyes.Why hasn't he heard of the Zuo family's development of the family business in Pingkangfang in his previous life?

"Isn't that good? With the support of the Zuo family, your business will definitely be better than it is now. Isn't this a happy event? Why come to me with a sad face?"

"Mr. Xiaolang doesn't know something, let's not talk about the reputation of the Zuo family in the business world, just say that they want to open a brothel. Once they buy the land, they will never use people like us again, and they will be sold. We don't know where we are going. Perhaps Mr. Xiaolang thinks we are cheap, but rather than being sold to other places to be slaughtered, it is better to stay in this Pingkangfang. In this building, we dare to Enke said nothing."

When it came to the sad part, Qing Jue actually cried out, couldn't hear the cry, but could only see the teardrops rolling down his face.

In other words, these people hope that he can snatch the Huayue Pavilion from Zuojiazui, so as to provide them with a place to settle down?This deal is not worthwhile.
