"Okay then, let's go to the place in front to rest for a while."
"Does the boss have a private room?"
Qi Bai was finally able to take a break and put down the things in his hands. He quickly walked to the counter and asked the shopkeeper if there was a private room available. After all, he wanted to protect the princess, so how could he let the princess sit in the hall
The shopkeeper looked a little embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Sir, I'm really sorry. Our store is full today and there are no private rooms available. Could you please forgive me? What about sitting in the lobby on the first floor? The location of our tavern is really too small, and that place is a little quieter." Qi Bai turned around and looked at Liu Yun and Gu Qiang behind him, as if he was asking them to Personal opinion.
Gu Qiang looked around. The tavern didn't look that chaotic, and it was quite quiet. There shouldn't be any big problem where to sit, so she nodded towards Qi Bai in front of the counter. "It doesn't matter, we can sit directly in the hall, no private room is needed."
"The owner of this tavern seems to be an honest man. No wonder his business is still so prosperous even in such a remote place." Gu Qiang casually ordered a few side dishes, and the three of them sat down together. Come down. Only now did Gu Qiang realize that he had just bought too many things, and it was really difficult for Qi Bai to hold them all by himself.
"How about we store the things somewhere later, or find someone to help us send these things back?" Gu Qiang didn't even realize when she bought so many things and put them all away. It is indeed a bit difficult to get hold of on a person's body.
Qi Bai was already a little embarrassed because he was tired, so he asked Gu Qiang and Liu Yun to stop and find a tavern to rest. Now that his master was so concerned about him, he was afraid that he would be tired. , he became even more embarrassed, "It's okay, it's okay, I can still carry this little thing."
"Hey, have you heard? Recently, many shops have changed owners inexplicably. I heard that someone wants to get all the business into their own hands. Think about it, the whole There are so many people in Kyoto, if they take all these businesses into their own hands, how much money will they earn at the end of the year?"
"Forget it about making money. Have you seen that the original ticket office has now become a big casino? If there is no one behind him to support him, do you think such a casino can be opened in Kyoto? Can it be opened in a busy area?"
"Oh, so there is someone behind this?"
"That's for sure. Apart from people in the officialdom, who else can do such an attitude of buying and selling by force?"
"You really dare to say anything. Don't you know that walls have ears?"
"What else am I afraid of? All my business has been ruined by these recent events. Now I'm just a polished commander, so I have nothing to be afraid of?"
After hearing the conversation between the two people, the young man in the store seemed to change his expression and hurriedly came forward, "Two guests, there are many people here, please pay attention to your words. Don’t let others listen to you.”
The little guy originally had good intentions. After all, no one has thought about what the person behind this will be like. If he really offends the person behind him at this time, it will be really bad if he listens to it again, but Unexpectedly, the speaker had drunk too much, and now he had no control over his words. The young man's kindness sounded full of contempt in his ears, "What's the matter? You're afraid that I will get involved." This shabby tavern of yours? Do you know what I used to do?"
"My guest, I don't mean that. I just want to remind you that this place is crowded with people and there is really no..."
Before the young man could finish his words, the drunk man had already become angry. He reached out and picked up the wine glass beside him and threw it towards the young man.
Qi Bai approached that position, watching helplessly as the wine glass would probably hit their table if Bei Boy dodged it. He also couldn't stand the arrogance and lawlessness of that man. He reached out to catch the wine glass here and threw it back fiercely, "When you're drunk, hurry up and pay the bill and go home. It's shameful to be embarrassed here."
Gu Qiang held the tea cup in his hand and watched the scene in front of him with interest. He was just a drunken man. Qi Bai could handle it by himself. They didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but they didn't want to be nosy. Come on, it seems that they are a little inhumane if they don't care.
"You damn pretty boy, don't think you can show off like this just because you have some martial arts skills! Aren't you afraid that I'll find someone to beat you to death!" This drunkard's attack target seemed very clear. It was clearly Qi Bai who caught his glass and threw it away. When he turned back, he pointed at Gu Qiang's nose and started scolding her. Maybe he was a bully and fearful of the strong, so he didn't dare to attack Qi Bai.
Qi Bai impatiently slapped the drunkard's hand away, "Who asked you to point at my master like that? How many hands do you have that I can chop off?" Even if the family's wealth is gone, they will never be in such a situation. Under the circumstances, you are still so ignorant, right? Why are you almost risking your life for a little family property
As soon as Qi Bai finished speaking, another person appeared in front of him, and the drunkard's wrist was directly grasped by that person, "It seems that you are the ungrateful one. Since I have bought your Shop, you also accepted the money I gave you, so you should go home and plant your land honestly, and you are still showing off here, do you want to break another leg?"
Gu Qiang narrowed her eyes. The appearance of the man in white in front of her was so strange that even Qi Bai didn't notice it. When did he appear, and the strange tone of his voice now made Gu Qiang feel even more uncomfortable. After listening to this man's words, Gu Qiang also noticed that this drunk man , when moving slowly outward, one of the legs was indeed difficult to move. That's not right. The drunkard's leg was broken by the man in white in front of him when he was doing the river lantern
"Qi Bai, go and separate the two of them."
Since the man in white was not that simple, she shouldn't have gotten involved. She just didn't know what was going on. He just wanted to know who the man in front of him was and how he had the ability to turn him into someone else. After the store owner’s leg was broken, could he still buy his store
Qi Bai was still a little hesitant, or maybe he was worried about the man in white's skills, so he hesitated a little, took out a flying knife from his right hand, and threw it towards the position between the two people. Although the man in white had been arguing While the drunkard was talking, he was still well aware of the situation around him. He reached out to take the dart, and naturally let go of the drunkard.
"It's really interesting. If you want to start a fight, why don't you just come over here? Why use hidden weapons? If I couldn't hide just now, wouldn't my face, which is as beautiful as a fairy, be ruined?" The man in white said. She was so charming and charming that even Gu Qiang felt a little ashamed.
Gu Qiang waved her fan and walked out. Qi Bai seemed to want to stop Gu Qiang, but Gu Qiang waved his hand, "It's okay, I have my own plan."
"This handsome young man is unfamiliar to me. Who is the young son of a wealthy businessman?" The man in white took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped his hands, and then spoke slowly, as if he disliked that person very much. The smell of an alcoholic.
"Young master, before you ask other people's names, should you tell yourself your family name first? You are acting in such a flamboyant manner in Kyoto. Which official family are you the son of?" Gu Qiang shook the folding fan in his hand. This man is definitely not People in Kyoto, Gu Qiang knew this already. The last person who dared to be so arrogant was the fifth prince who had an affair with Liu Xingyu. It was impossible for him to have heard of such a bold person. This person must not be normal person.
"You are an interesting person. Well, my name is Bai Zhi, and I am the shopkeeper of this tavern. I never expected that this scoundrel would always accuse me of buying and selling by force, even though he received the money I gave him for the shop. This is terrible. I can't tolerate it anymore." Bai Zhi sounded like a woman's name. Gu Qiang looked her up and down. If this person's shoulders weren't wider, she might have mistaken this person for a woman.
"My lord, Gu Lin'an, is not a young master from a wealthy family, but this young master, if you really took back this gentleman's shop after a fair transaction, how could this gentleman be so angry? There is no smoke without fire, Mr. Bai. Don’t you know?”
Gu Qiang didn't want to get involved with the person in front of her, but this Bai Zhi was really interesting. Seeing him like this, she became even more curious about her.
"He has already signed the contract in black and white. Is there still something fake?" Bai Zhi seemed to have expected that something like this would happen, so she carried the contract with her. He unfolded the contract and talked about it. When he was in front of the drunkard, he asked, "Isn't the person on this yours? Isn't this finger mark yours?"
Gu Qiang seemed to have underestimated this drunkard. Although his face was still red, his consciousness seemed to be very clear, "You and your subordinates forced me to sign this. You just rely on your knowledge of martial arts. Buying and selling by force is simply robbery!”
Gu Qiang looked at the current situation and took a step forward. It seemed that she still couldn't interfere in today's matter.
