Chapter 1430: Righteous Man
"No one?" The fat man stuck to the crack of the door and looked inside. Because the doors and windows were closed, the room was dark and only some vague outlines could be seen. "This shopkeeper Qian ran fast."
After missing the target, the two were about to leave when a man hurriedly ran behind them. The man had a rag on his shoulder and a cloth bag in his hand. He didn't even look at Jiang Cheng and the other man, and knocked on the door of the antique shop.
The door was knocked "bang bang", but there was still no sound inside. The fat man kindly told him: "Brother, don't knock. Shopkeeper Qian is not here."
"Not here?" The man dressed like a waiter scratched his greasy hair, blinked his eyes and looked puzzled, "No, I saw Shopkeeper Qian just now. He ordered a large amount of food from our shopkeeper and said that it would be delivered to him after it was finished. How...how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
"Food?"
"Yes. "The waiter opened the cloth bag naturally to show Fatty Jiang Cheng. The cloth bag was full of food, including steamed buns, baked naan, and a large piece of sticky cake wrapped in lotus leaves. Normal meals would not require so much food, and there were only staple foods and no vegetables. Jiang Cheng thought that these should be prepared by Shopkeeper Qian for the road. He planned to run away and leave Luo'an City.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng smiled and signaled the waiter to leave the things behind. "Shopkeeper Qian is out temporarily. I am here to find him. You leave the things with me. I will pass them to him when he comes back."
"You?" The waiter was a little doubtful. "Who are you?"
"I am Shopkeeper Qian's friend. Shopkeeper Qian asked me to come here. "
Most of the waiters have developed the skill of identifying people. The waiter looked Jiang Cheng up and down. Although he was dressed strangely, his calm demeanor was no less than that of the young masters of the big clans in the city. Such a person would never have any reason to deceive a small person like him.
"Then I'll leave it to this young master." The waiter said to Jiang Cheng very politely, then handed a large bag of food to the fat man and reminded him: "Remember, don't put the food on the ground. Manager Qian is a respectable man. ”
After receiving the food, the fat man realized that the other party seemed to regard him as the doctor's follower. The doctor was the son of a big family, and he was just a lackey around him. But the fat man couldn't find a reason to be dissatisfied. After all, he did rely on the doctor all the way here.
After watching the waiter walk away, Jiang Cheng took the fat man around and finally came to the back door of the antique shop. Behind it was an inconspicuous alley separated by a dilapidated wall. Jiang Cheng saw that there was no one around, so he jumped up, grabbed the edge of the wall with his hands, and climbed in a few times.
The fat man was carrying a large bag of food, moving Jiang Cheng was no more slow than Jiang Cheng. After landing, he looked around. There was a courtyard inside. It was not big, but the layout was messy. The back door was ajar and not locked. Jiang Cheng and Fatty sneaked in. Before they took a few steps, they saw a sneaky figure hiding behind the main door. He lowered his body intentionally, stuck his butt out, and looked out through the gap.
Who else could it be but Shopkeeper Qian?
Jiang Cheng found it funny, so he quietly walked behind Shopkeeper Qian, stretched out his hand and gently patted Shopkeeper Qian's shoulder, which frightened Shopkeeper Qian so much that he jumped up on the spot.
"Shopkeeper Qian, are you looking at us to see if we're leaving?" Jiang Cheng showed his signature expression and asked with a fake smile.
Seeing Jiang Cheng suddenly appear in front of him, Shopkeeper Qian's chubby face was all tangled up, but even so, he still plucked up the courage to cheer himself up, "How...how did you get in?"
"I tell you, if you dare to mess around, I...I will call for help! "Shopkeeper Qian leaned against the door, shivering all over, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead. You can imagine how nervous he was. "There are government troops on the street outside!"
"You can yell, no one will pay attention to you even if you yell your throat out!"
The fat man twitched his mouth and suddenly said this. For a moment, Shopkeeper Qian looked at the fat man with a strange look in his eyes. It seemed that this man was more terrifying than Jiang Cheng.
But Jiang Cheng heard the hidden meaning in Shopkeeper Qian's words. The information he instilled in Shopkeeper Qian was that they came from the Marquis' Mansion, and the Zhennan Marquis' Mansion was the sky of Luo'an City. Was it too presumptuous to use government troops to scare the people of the Zhennan Marquis' Mansion?
Seeing that Jiang Cheng, who was the leader, hesitated, Shopkeeper Qian, who was originally very frightened, seemed to have caught the other party's handle and threatened fiercely: "How is it? Are you scared now? You remnants of the previous dynasty, we don't interfere with each other. You go your way, and I go my way. No one is allowed to mention the past. I will pretend that it never happened. "
This sentence confused the fat man. He didn't understand why this shopkeeper Qian suddenly implicated them with the remnants of the previous dynasty. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm talking nonsense?" Shopkeeper Qian sneered and stared at Jiang Cheng's face. "A few days ago, you came to me to get my words. You used the identity of the Marquis' Mansion. Didn't you want to find out what happened near Chunshen Lake, so as to infer the time of the next low tide? Haha, you are afraid that you still don't know that you have been targeted by the people of the Marquis' Mansion. As soon as you left, the people of the Marquis' Mansion came to your door. Although they did not clearly state their identities, I recognize the badge on the waist of the leading man. It is a white jade waist badge that can open the gate of Luo'an City at night. In the whole Luo'an City, except for the big figures in the Marquis' Mansion, who else is qualified to hold it? "
Jiang Cheng roughly understood the whole story, nodded calmly, and straightened his body with a determined look: "Since you, Qian, have seen through it, there is no need for us to hide it. We are the heroes of the previous dynasty."
"I don't care who you are. I'll pretend I haven't heard what you said today. You go away quickly. I tell you, I can't offend the Zhennan Hou Mansion, and I don't want to offend you. Can't I just leave? I just want to be honest. Really do my business.”
Jiang Cheng suddenly smiled and looked at Shopkeeper Qian with a thoughtful look, "Shopkeeper Qian, you are a smart man. You didn't talk nonsense with the people in the Hou Mansion, did you?"
"No, don't worry, I, Mr. Qian, have a surprisingly strict mouth." Shopkeeper Qian seemed to feel that he had the right to speak in this negotiation, and he became more and more confident.
The fat man recalled the story that shopkeeper Qian told Jiang Cheng. Even when Jiang Cheng narrated the key points later, he told it for a full 20 minutes. This man had a bad mouth.
Shopkeeper Qian’s antique shop was very messy. It seemed that all the valuable things had been put away, leaving only a bunch of shocking rags. Shopkeeper Qian also had a large package thrown next to him, which should be needed on the road. luggage.
"Why don't you leave yet?" Shopkeeper Qian said aggressively.
Jiang Cheng looked at him and suddenly smiled, "I'm not busy, Shopkeeper Qian. Before I leave, I want to borrow something from you. I wonder... is it convenient?"
