Shen Qingyan was stunned and couldn't help asking:

"Could it be that your city lord just sleeps in South Lane 23?"

The leader of the city guard gave him a hard look, and said unceremoniously: "What are you doing asking this? Spying on the whereabouts of our city lord?!"

Shen Qingyan: "...No, I just feel a little strange."

He was silent for a while, sorting out his thoughts.

"Your city lord's mansion is in the north of the city, and my small shop is in the south of the city. Even if there is occasional noise inside and outside the shop, there is no reason for the sound to spread from the north to the south of the city, right?"

"So how did you know that my shop is too noisy?"

Facing Shen Qingyan's questioning, the chief of the city guard was stunned for a moment. He thought he came here to make an announcement, but he never expected to be asked this question. After thinking about it, he replied:

"It was reported to us by the city guards..."

"wrong."

Shen Qingyan shook his head: "The patrolling guards in Guangping City patrol this alley three times a day according to the route, and none of them came during the noisy hours. The small shop has only opened for a few days, and the business hours are only a few hours , they still have no chance to know about it, let alone report it to the City Lord's Mansion."

The leader of the city guard: "...Actually, it was the other shops in the same alley as you who couldn't stand the quarrel and came to our place to express their opinions, so we hurriedly led the team here..."

"Nor."

Shen Qingyan shook his head again, and he pointed to the shop behind him: "I can assure you, all the shops in this South 23rd Lane are in my shop, even if they are not there, it is impossible for them to go to the City Lord's Mansion What are you reporting over there, because the noisy voices you mentioned are almost all made by these shopkeepers themselves!"

"You can tell me the reason directly, but you have to hide it with lies. Therefore, behind this question must be something that you think I can't know... For example, the recent whereabouts of the city lord of Guangping City."

He looked up at the city guard leader: "If I'm not wrong, this South 23rd Lane is either one of the city lord's favorite mansions, or the city lord himself is or will come to live in the mansion here. In order to protect the city lord's It's safe, you have set up dark guards here—and the hidden guards are the source of your news about the noise in the shop."

"Am I right?"

The leader of the city guard was stunned, he opened his mouth, and was racking his brains to think about how to remedy it, but Shen Qingyan smiled lightly and shook his head when he saw this, and said with a final word: "It seems that I am right."

Chief of the city guard: ...

"Even if you're right, so what? We told you to move, but you still have to move! Even if you don't move, you have to move!" He said almost angrily.

"Three times, we are willing to give you three times the money, including the cost of buying the store and the cost of purchasing furniture and decoration, I just ask you to leave immediately!"

The leader of the city guard said to Shen Qing in such a way that there was no doubt at all.

Shen Qingyan frowned, wondering: "It's not about money..."

"Then the money is not enough?" The chief of the city guard interrupted him and said involuntarily: "If you are not satisfied with the price, we can give you another severance pay!"

"But remember, our Guangping City is not being taken advantage of, and the most money we can give you is that much. If you can't fill your desires and refuse to agree, don't blame me for being cruel in the future!"

In the last few words, the leader of the city guard almost sneered, and the threat was extremely obvious.

Hong Wenming, who was standing behind, couldn't help laughing angrily after hearing this:

"Is this going to slap us in the face with money? Why are you so hungry... Who do you look down on? You are too—"

"and many more."

Shen Qingyan stretched out his hand to stop Hong Wenming's words. He looked at the chief of the city guard: "You just said that you are willing to pay three times the cost of furniture decoration in my store?"

"good."

The leader of the city guard said proudly: "Our Guangping City has always been lenient, but anyone who is ordered to relocate due to special reasons, we will pay three times the compensation, no one cheats!"

"Okay." Shen Qingyan nodded: "Then you do the math."

He looked at the chief of the city guard with a long and meaningful look in his eyes: "——As long as you are sure that you can pay the compensation at the usual price, then my small shop will be willing to move."

Shen Qingyan's gaze and tone made the chief of the city guard faintly feel a little uneasy, but soon, he forcibly dispelled the little uneasiness in his heart.

snort!It has not been a day or two since he traveled inside and outside Quang Binh City and ordered the store to be relocated. What kind of store has he never seen?

No matter how luxurious the decoration is, it is just the decoration of the shop. How can luxury be so luxurious?Could it be that you can still use spirit stones to pave the ground?

When he thought of this, he no longer had any worries in his heart, and with slight contempt, the city guard chief raised his head and shouted to Shen Qingyan:

"Get out of the way! If you don't let us enter the shop, how will we count for you?"

Shen Qingyan looked at him, his eyes were still very calm, so peaceful that the leader of the city guard began to feel uneasy again.

Pointing to the two puppet Pixiu outside the town gate, Shen Qingyan said loudly: "Of course we have to count, but please start counting from outside the shop."

Outside the store!

The leader of the city guard subconsciously cast his eyes on the two majestic puppets, and his heart tightened slightly.

Seeing that the chief of the city guard seemed to hesitate a bit, Shen Qingyan followed closely and said: "You said that the cost of buying furniture and decoration will be paid three times. Could it be that in today's Quang Binh City, the decoration outside the shop is not good enough?" Is it a renovation?"

"I said, where do you come from to blackmail people, it turns out that you have taken a fancy to these two puppet beasts!"

The leader of the city guard thought he had caught the handle, and immediately said with a sneer: "People like you have this level of vision! If you grab a little money and don't let it go, aren't you a puppet at two ends? If you pay three times, you will pay three times." I’m sorry, I’ll give you the Lingshi, and you’ll get out of the city like a fool!”

After he finished speaking, he took out the spirit stone without even thinking about it, and wanted to throw out money worth three times the puppet on the spot, but when he stretched his hand halfway, he was caught by the other hand.

"Hey, hey, don't worry."

Hong Wenming pulled him back, and said with a smile on his face: "Our store is not big, I advise you to read it before you read it, and don't take out that bit of Lingshi to make it embarrassing, or you won't know who will come to buy it later." Whose face is it!"

Hearing this, the chief of the city guard felt a surge of anger in his heart. He raised his head and was about to say something, but he met Shen Qingyan's eyes behind him——

It was still so quiet and peaceful, as if he had enough confidence that he didn't even bother to argue with himself.

The chief of the city guard thumped in his heart, and the anger dissipated almost instantly.

"Go, count all the decorations on the outside of the store first, and then we'll look inside the store."

The leader of the city guard looked cautiously, and waved his hand behind him, and the several city guards brought by him dispersed with a promise, and began to count the decoration outside the small shop.

Soon, the numbers were reported one by one like flowing water, and following the reported numbers, the eyes of the city guard chief gradually became more serious.

"...five windows, made of blazing phoenix wood, with several kinds of runes engraved on them. It is extremely difficult to engrave, and the finished product is estimated to be worth [-] spirit stones each..."

"...the six lanterns are all made of Nanhai mulberry and elm paper, and the patterns are painted with Yuehua Danzhu. I don't know the specific effect of the patterns. I only estimate the materials themselves. The total price is about [-]..."

"...The material used to paint the walls looks like mother-of-pearl pearl powder... The average transaction price in recent years is [-] Lingshi one tael. We are estimating the total amount of mother-of-pearl powder consumed based on the area of ​​the wall. The final price conclusion..."

"enough!"

The leader of the city guard suddenly spoke.

He beckoned, and withdrew all the scattered city guards, took a step forward alone, looked at Shen Qingyan and said, "Can the shop owner let me go in and have a look?"

Hong Wenming stood aside with a sneer and said, "Now I finally know how to be afraid? Do you feel like you're underestimating others? I'll take it out three times as promised! Don't you feel ashamed to be tough first and then counsel you?"

What he said was quite harsh, but the city guard leader just looked at Shen Qingyan, and seemed to turn a deaf ear to Hong Wenming's words.

Shen Qingyan looked at him for a moment, raised his eyebrows slightly, and stepped back sideways to open the door of the shop.

"Please."

He held out a hand, and a smile played on his lips.

The chief of the city guard bowed his head in thanks, and stepped into the threshold of the small shop without saying a word.

As soon as he entered the store, the eyes of the guests from all directions were cast on him, and some of them even laughed and said:

"Even if it's the city guard who came down from the city lord's mansion, he can't just wrong people! The conscience of heaven and earth, we really didn't complain!"

"Three times the compensation for moving the shop? May I ask how much is your old man's monthly salary? I'll give you six times. Please go back and tell the city lord's mansion that the city lord and the old man are not welcome in our South 23 Lane!"

"It's not that we don't welcome him at all. We welcome him to visit us on weekdays, but he wants to force the shop to move out because of this? Sorry, where did you come from?"

Due to the particularity of Guangping City, the city lord's mansion does not have any substantial jurisdictional relationship with many merchants, so the customers in the store are more and more unscrupulous when they open their mouths.

The leader of the city guard listened to their words, felt the repulsion and sarcasm in those eyes, and only felt that his face was a little hot.

He knew in his heart that most of the words he said outside the door just now were clearly heard by the customers in the store.

"Please give way, don't block the place, so that I can calculate the approximate value of the decoration in this shop..."

The leader of the city guard simply pretended that he was deaf, and ignored the cynicism of the customers in the store.As he spoke, he raised his head, and at the first sight he saw that the guests were all sitting motionless in their seats, and the slight irritation in his heart hadn't arisen yet, the next moment, he involuntarily gasped.

"Dragon scales??? This fucking dragon scales???"

The chief of the city guard saw the decorative wall behind the small shop, and felt that he was half crazy.

It doesn't matter if the wall is painted with mother-of-pearl pearl powder, he is also mentally prepared for the carvings on the wall to be mixed with runes, but the question is what is the decoration embedded in the carvings? ?Dragon scale? ?

—Fuck!

The entire cultivation world has not seen many real dragons in recent years. A certain elder of the Canghua sect got a piece of dragon scale and regarded it as a treasure. It is something that can cause a sensation if thrown anywhere. To wall? ?

Is he crazy or is the world crazy? ?

Almost trembling, the chief of the city guard moved his eyes from the wall with difficulty, closed his eyes and woke up for a long time, finally felt that his mind was no longer a mess.

He took a deep breath, opened his eyes again, and turned to the direction of Shen Qingyan outside the store: "We were too careless about the previous matter, since this is the case, then I have no way to make my own opinions, I can only— —”

"...can only..."

only what?

What can only?

The leader of the city guard suddenly forgot what he should say!

He stared dumbfounded at the magical weapons used as ordinary furniture in the store, and was so shocked that he even forgot how to speak.For a while, he wondered if he had been hit by an illusion, and for a while he felt that he was not in the world at all. After a long time of coming and going in a daze, he finally regained his senses with difficulty, turned to Shen Qingyan and said in a crying voice:

"Shopkeeper, your shop is decorated like this, I'm afraid you are joking with us?"

"Who is joking with you?"

Shen Qingyan heard this, and said unceremoniously: "My shop is renovated for business! Could it be that I really opened my eyes and knew in advance that you would come to forcefully move my shop?!"

The leader of the city guard was speechless after hearing this, and after a while he said in a weak voice:

"You see that your store is so luxuriously decorated. You must be a good owner. You probably don't pay attention to the money to move a store? We are also ordered by someone. We have no choice. Please have mercy. , be accommodating, take a step back, and the sea and the sky will be brighter, we will live better with each other..."

"Hey! Are you still shameless?"

Before Shen Qingyan could speak, Hong Wenming on the side couldn't bear it anymore.

He jumped out, pointed at the nose of the chief of the city guard unceremoniously and said: "Before you entered the store, your nostrils were so proud that they were so proud of the sky! How did you say that sentence, 'We tell you to move, you can move,'" he said. You have to move if you don’t want to move’? Tsk tsk tsk, you city guards are really amazing!"

"It's just a little hesitation for a moment, and we are going to use money to hit us in the face... Okay, hit us right away, why are you getting scared now?"

"Where's your prestige? Where's your domineering? You want to use money to slap us in the face? Why are you throwing it all to Java?"

"Bullying the weak! Bullying the weak with the big! What kind of bullshit city guards, they are just a bunch of dogs who look down on people!"

Hong Wenming sneered, and gave a fierce "Pooh" to the ground beside his feet, cursing, "What!"

The leader of the city guard stood there in embarrassment, his face turned red and turned white, and the eyes from all directions almost poked countless holes in him.

He lowered his head subconsciously, and said in a low voice: "I also obey orders...the orders are all issued by the City Lord's Mansion, and there is nothing I can do..."

"Enough! Don't push everything on the City Lord's Mansion!"

Suddenly a voice came out coldly: "It is true that there are rules of forced relocation in the city, but it is to maintain the overall peace of the city, and it is not for you to show off your prestige and prestige!"

"I keep saying that the city lord's mansion issued an order for the sake of the city lord's sleep... Then I would like to ask you, how many people in the city lord's mansion know about the fact that you came here to relocate the store?"
