A knife in love

Chapter 2976

When Murong Danyan was speaking, he clenched the hilt of the sword with his right hand, fixed his eyes on the old man in gray, and could draw his sword to fight at any time.The old man in gray heard Murong Danyan's words were malicious, but he was not angry, he said nonchalantly: "All the pawnshops in the world have the same appearance, in case someone has malicious intentions to rob the pawnshop's property, there is no door on the counter, and there is no gate on the counter. He and his buddies can only enter the counter through the back door. In this way, although it can prevent thieves, it is quite inconvenient when walking. Therefore, pawnshops often set up a secret door on the counter. When necessary, Chao Feng and others can enter from the counter Lobby. It’s just that this matter is extremely confidential, even in the pawn shop, only a few people such as Da Chao Feng know how to open the secret door. The old man has been running a pawn shop for many years, so he naturally knows about it, so what’s so special about it?”

At this point, the gray-clothed old man glanced at Murong Danyan, a sly smile suddenly appeared on his face, and continued: "Miss is so scared, presumably because she is worried that someone is ambushing at the counter and will beat you with a sap? Since the girl is uneasy , might as well let the old man take the lead in exploring the way, so as not to frighten you."

After the old man in gray finished speaking, he walked quickly to the secret door, lowered his head and got in through the narrow door.After a while, I saw his head appearing in the square opening on the wall of the counter, looking down at the crowd from a high position.

Murong Danyan saw the playfulness in the gray-clothed old man's eyes, knew that he was making fun of him, and felt aggrieved, and was about to sarcasm, when Li Qiufeng said to her: "Since the old man has already taken the lead, We can't shrink back either, let the girl go in first."

Originally, Murong Danyan didn't want to obey the old man's orders, but after hearing Li Qiufeng's words, he could only nod his head, and stooped into the secret door.Inside the secret door is a very small open space, and there is a wooden ladder on the left, extending upwards.Murong Danyan heard footsteps behind him, knew that Li Qiufeng and others had followed, so he lifted his legs up the wooden ladder and walked up quickly.The wooden ladder has only six steps, and Murong Danyan walked to the top in a few steps, and there is a square room in front of him.On the left side of the exit of the wooden ladder is the counter. There are five or six tall wooden cabinets placed against the wall in front and on the right side. Presumably, the items placed in the cabinets are pawns of customers.The gray-clothed old man was standing near the counter, looking at Murong Danyan with a self-smiling smile.

Murong Danyan hated the old man in gray and didn't want to go to him, so he took a few steps forward and stood in the middle of the room.After a while, Li Qiufeng, a big man surnamed Yue, and two strangers, one old and one young, also came up one by one.Seeing that everyone had arrived, the gray-clothed old man pressed lightly on the counter with his left hand, only to hear a light "click" sound from outside the counter, presumably the gray-clothed old man pressed the mechanism and reopened the hidden door on the board wall. closure.

Murong Danyan stood in the middle of the room, kept looking around, secretly guarded in his heart.I just heard the gray-clothed old man say: "Don't be impatient, everyone, let's see how the old man handles the guests who come to pawn things. You can just listen quietly behind the counter, don't poke your head, and don't make any noise at will, so as not to alarm the guests. Not beautiful."

After the old man in gray finished speaking, he glanced at Li Qiufeng again, then turned around and coughed lightly.After a while, only the sound of footsteps was heard, and someone walked towards the counter from outside the door.Murong Danyan was anxious to walk up to the counter to watch the excitement, but because Li Qiufeng was standing beside him, he was worried that he would accuse him of acting recklessly, so he patiently did not go forward.

After a while, the footsteps came to the counter and stopped.The waiter said with a smile: "Young master, the gentleman above is our and Taidang's great court official. If you have a treasure on you, just show it to him, and you will be able to make a suitable one for the young master." Price."

The guy just finished speaking, only to hear an exclamation from outside the counter, and then someone tremblingly said: "Why, why, is it you?"

Murong Danyan's heart trembled when he heard this man's words, he thought to himself that this man's voice was quite familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.When she was thinking about it, the old man in gray said with a smile: "As the saying goes, we never meet again in life. I never thought that the young master would come to Hetai to reward us with a bite of food. Thank you, thank you."

Hearing what the old man in gray said, Murong Danyan suddenly thought of a person, his heart trembled, thinking to himself why I have been wondering that the voice of the person outside the counter was quite familiar, it turned out to be the boy who was hunted down by the Qingyan Gang Arrived.This person narrowly escaped death and did not go to the hospital for treatment. What did he come to Hetaidang for?
While Murong Danyan was thinking, there was no one outside the counter, and the young man remained silent.The gray-clothed old man smiled, and said: "We and Tai Dang open the door to do business, we pay attention to children and old people, and all the people who come here are customers. If you are short of money and want to exchange some money, just ask, the old man will definitely I won't lie to you."

After the old man in gray finished speaking, there was still no one answering outside the counter.After a while, the young man hesitated and said: "Thank you for your care, but I think I made a mistake. I came to your store just to ask for a glass of water, not to pawn something. Just now on the long street, I was caught by a The gangsters beat me unconscious, and the gangsters stripped off my upper body clothes. At that time, the old man was beside me, so he naturally knew that I had no property on me."

After the young man finished speaking, the old man in gray didn't say a word, but the waiter rushed to say: "I said, little brother, I stopped you from the door just now, and you clearly said that you want to come to the shop as a treasure, so I didn't let you go!" You didn't stop me, why did you change your face when you entered the shop, didn't you deliberately play tricks on me?"

The waiter's voice fell, only to hear the young man scrambling to say: "I'm really sorry, brother. I was so thirsty just now. I was afraid that my brother would not allow me to enter the house to ask for water, so I said that I brought treasures to pawn. I lied to my brother. I really shouldn't, I feel really ashamed in my heart, I don't have the face to ask for water to drink, let's just leave it alone, if I offend, please forgive me."

Murong Danyan listened to the young man talking to the clerk, and thought to himself, this kid broke into the pawnshop definitely not to ask for a glass of water, but for other purposes.Only when he saw the gray-clothed old man standing inside the counter, he was terrified and hurried to leave, so he came up with the idea of ​​asking for water.Although this kid is smart, but he has too little experience and lies too falsely, how can he hide from the two old treacherous people, the buddy and the gray-clothed old man?

While Murong Danyan was thinking, he only heard footsteps outside the counter, presumably the young man was walking towards the door.The buddy sneered, and said in his mouth: "Boy, what do you think we and Taidang are, how can you come and leave whenever you want?!"

When the clerk was talking, the footsteps outside the counter suddenly disappeared, presumably the boy had already been stopped by the clerk.The young man said angrily: "Hetai Dang is just a pawn shop, not a government office, how can we not allow others to leave?!"

The young man's voice fell away when someone sneered and said, "Boy, you are right. Hetai is not a government office, but there are more rules here than the government office. It's going to be miserable!"
