Chapter 300 Rent
Of course Shopkeeper Zheng wants to ride a horse.
He had just fought with someone and was injured. Now he was tired and in pain, not to mention soaked all over. At this time, if he could ride a spirit horse, why would he walk on two legs? Even if he could use Escape
The method consumes too much spiritual energy.
Therefore, after he swallowed two pills, he and Li Lijun rode two spirited horses back to Huxian County. However, when entering the city, there was another small problem.
At this time, the sky had just whitened and the sun had not yet come out. It would take a while before the city gate would open. But shopkeeper Zheng was in a hurry to go back to the library shop to place the magic weapon that was finally recovered. He didn't want to delay outside the city, so he
I plan to continue to tunnel into the city. However, others can tunnel, but the spirit horse cannot. I want to put the spirit horse back into the spirit beast bag. There are still two people in the bag. If I release them, what if they are on the way?
What to do if you run away?
So shopkeeper Zheng said to Li Lijun: "The county captain has very sharp eyes and a good memory. If I ride into the city on horseback, he will definitely wonder when I left the city. If we keep pestering him, won't it be troublesome? Please give me seven more
Madam, lend me a helping hand and take the horse back to the library shop for me. Don’t worry, it’s all thanks to you, Madam Seventh, that I’m able to recover the magic weapon and capture the thief this time. I will never forget your kindness!”
Li Lijun glanced at him and said: "Shopkeeper Zheng doesn't need to mention any favors or merits. I'm not from your Zheng family, so I don't actually value these things. People from your family don't need to mention my name either."
, as long as you give me a more affordable discount. I still have things to do there, and I have to leave after I send the horse back to your place."
Shopkeeper Zheng was deeply moved after hearing this. In this way, his contribution was considered reliable. If he could keep his status and property, what's the big deal with giving up a little discount? He made a promise on the spot: "Then give
The Seventh Lady gives me a 20% discount! If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t be so generous!”
20% off, just 20% off. Li Lijun looked at Shopkeeper Zheng and felt that she might have to deal with him more often in the future. After all, this person has a background and family background, which makes him easy to attract thieves, but he himself is very good, so he will inevitably ask for help from outside.
time. The next time he wants to beg her, he won't be able to get through it with a 20% discount.
Shopkeeper Zheng went to dig into the tunnel, while Li Lijun rode a horse leisurely outside the city for a while, completed the practice at sunrise, and then rode into the county seat leisurely.
When she led the horse into the study shop, shopkeeper Zheng had already carefully placed the magic weapon, and put the dying Snitch brothers into a special dungeon. At the same time, he asked two clerks to search their bodies for any evidence.
All the things he left were taken away. Some of them were spiritual stones and so on, and he distributed them all to Li Lijun: "There are a little few things, so the seventh lady will make do with them. These two brothers are not rich people, otherwise there is no need."
A thief?"
Li Lijun asked him: "What is Shopkeeper Zheng going to do about the accomplices they confessed?"
Shopkeeper Zheng is actually very excited, but he is really weak. Even if the injuries of the two clerks have improved greatly, he does not dare to leave the study shop easily, because there is still a magic weapon and two felons in the shop.
Before someone from the family saw the magic weapon and the repeat criminal, he couldn't let the latter make any mistakes. Now let alone going out with others to hunt down the snitch's accomplices, he didn't even dare to step out of the study shop!
Even the woman who was originally employed by the library shop to cook every day did not dare to let people come to the backyard easily, for fear that someone would take advantage of her.
He sighed and said: "If the Seventh Lady is interested, call a few friends to try your luck. Don't get involved with those black market people, but you can try your luck where they hide the treasure. I'm here
I didn't dare to go out until the family members arrived. Even at the other side of the market, I could only ask my men to take a look, but I didn't dare to leave the house."
It doesn't matter. Li Lijun said that he could go to the market with his assistant to check on the situation, and he could also have someone to look after him on the way.
Shopkeeper Zheng was very surprised: "Seriously?! If that's true, the Seventh Lady will be of great help to me!"
He immediately called out the guy he had brought out from the Cultivation Market: "Asha, you go back to the Cultivation Market tonight with Lady Li Qi to check on the situation and see if there is any damage to our shop, and make a list.
Repay me."
Asa, who was still hanging by one arm, quickly agreed and saluted Li Lijun respectfully, asking her to take care of him on the way.
Li Lijun agreed immediately, and on the pretext that she wanted to go back to her residence to rest, she made an appointment with them at a rendezvous time, then she said goodbye and went out. First, she went to the tunnel entrance to fill the hole in the ground so that Shopkeeper Zheng and the others would not continue to take advantage. Then she went to visit yesterday.
We passed the teahouse and ordered breakfast first.
She made an agreement with Erhong that after the latter rented the house, he would leave a small paper crane on the big tree opposite the teahouse.
Li Lijun left the teahouse after breakfast. When she walked past the big tree, the little paper crane fell on her head, and then guided her all the way to a street near the base of the city wall.
This area is quite prosperous, with people coming and going. There are many people dressed as traders loading and unloading goods here, and there are also able-bodied poor people who come here every day to find odd jobs and help support their families. In fact, they all use this place to get close to the city gate.
Convenience. In order to meet the daily needs of these businessmen and odd-job workers, nearby stores are opened in a variety of places, offering food, drink, entertainment and entertainment. It is said that even in the evening, the city gate is closed, but the area is still very lively.
.
Following the lead of the little paper crane, Li Lijun turned into an intersection on the west side of the main street and entered a relatively quiet street. This area is a residential area, basically a two-entry courtyard layout, because it is close to the city wall.
There are several families whose families have served as officers and soldiers. The small courtyard rented by Erhong is located at the far end of the street. The light is not very good. There is only a ditch between it and the city wall. The location is mediocre, but it has the advantage of
There is a long row of trees inside and outside the courtyard, blocking the view from the top of the city into the courtyard.
After knocking on the door, Erhong happily came out to welcome her, and then led Li Lijun to visit the entire courtyard: "Entering the front and back, there are seven or eight rooms. The place is quite spacious and very clean. There is also a well in the courtyard.
There are jujube trees that have been planted for many years in the front and back yards, and there are many trees around the outside. With the cover of these trees, outsiders cannot see clearly our activities in the house. Although there is a ditch next to it, it is not very deep.
, the little lady drills a tunnel and can cross over at any time..."
This place is really close to the city wall. The closest place to the courtyard outside the city wall is an inconspicuous corner. If the tunnel can be dug farther, there is a small forest nearby and the long-abandoned Earth Temple, which can be used as a tunnel.
As a secret tunnel exit. After bypassing the grove, not far away is the intersection leading to the dock outside the county town. People come and go there every day, and there are frequent vehicles and horses. There are several large villages nearby, and it is very easy to find a person there.
It is easy to blend into the crowd and cover one's whereabouts. Even if it is not used as a temporary residence, but only as a small station for Zhao Chenji Company in Hu County, this house is quite suitable.
Erhong weighed it again and again before choosing such a place. She felt quite satisfied, but she didn't ask Li Lijun and didn't dare to boast, so she only rented it for three months.
She asked Li Lijun with some anxiety: "Little madam, what do you think? Is this place... okay?"
