Chapter 211 1 misunderstanding
After Jiang Yuwei carefully selected three weapons, she was about to ask the shopkeeper how much silver they would cost.
But when she turned around, the shopkeeper was nowhere to be seen. Jiang Yuwei frowned. She felt something was strange, so she hurriedly picked up her weapon and prepared to go to the front to find the shopkeeper.
But when Jiang Yuwei walked to the door, she found that the door to the backyard had been locked from the outside, and Jiang Yuwei couldn't open it no matter how hard she shook it.
I could only shout:
"Boss, are you there? I have picked out the weapons. Please open the door for me!"
"Is anyone out there?"
“No one!”
"Someone is coming"
"Someone come quickly! Let me out!"
Jiang Yuwei shouted for a while but saw that no one responded, so she gave up. She put her weapon on the ground and began to look around the backyard carefully.
The yard was not very big, with ironware and weapons piled up everywhere. The east wing was a kitchen, and the door to the west wing was locked and could not be entered.
Jiang Yuwei walked further inside. The main house was divided into two rooms, one was used as a warehouse and the other was used for living. Judging from the layout and messiness of the house, the shopkeeper should be an old bachelor.
Jiang Yuwei felt a chill when she thought of this. Could it be that the shopkeeper had taken a fancy to her and wanted to imprison her in the backyard and make her his wife?
Just as Jiang Yuwei was standing in the main room thinking about something, she saw the door to the backyard being kicked open.
Jiang Yuwei leaned over to look, and saw Captain Huang leading a group of men coming in from the front, shouting:
"The bold thief will be captured without hesitation!"
Jiang Yuwei thought that Captain Huang was here to arrest the owner of the iron shop, so she rushed out and shouted:
"Captain Huang! Are you here to save me? How did you know I was here? I told you that the owner of the iron shop..."
Before Jiang Yuwei could finish her words, she saw the shopkeeper standing behind Captain Huang, pointing at her nervously and shouting:
"That's the woman! She came to my shop to help the bandits buy weapons! Captain Huang, hurry up and arrest her!"
Jiang Yuwei stood there in bewilderment after hearing this, pointing at herself and saying speechlessly:
"Me? Buying weapons for bandits? You have a smart mind!"
Jiang Yuwei said as she walked directly to the iron shop owner and looked into his eyes and continued to speak.
"Oh, no wonder you disappeared after I chose my weapon. So you were anxious to report me to the government?"
The shopkeeper took a few steps back under Jiang Yuwei's questioning and said hesitantly:
"Look, Captain Huang! She herself admitted that she wanted to buy weapons!"
Captain Huang shook his head helplessly when he saw this:
"Manager Qian, you misunderstood. This is Manager Jiang from Moxiangzhai on North Street. He is not the bandit informant you mentioned."
After saying that, Captain Huang turned to look at Jiang Yuwei and asked curiously:
"What is the purpose of Manager Jiang buying so many weapons?"
Jiang Yuwei looked at the weapons on the ground and smiled.
"To be honest, Captain Huang, the situation outside the city is very chaotic right now. We live in the countryside and have to pass through the village road every day to get to the city. We have been attacked twice in just a few days."
Jiang Yuwei pointed at the weapon on the ground and looked at Captain Huang.
"I was thinking of buying some self-defense gear, but I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Qian would misunderstand me."
Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Qian hurriedly bowed and said:
"Shopkeeper Jiang, I'm sorry for offending you. Please forgive me for my mistakes. Don't hold it against me. Take a look at these weapons and I'll give you 10% off the price. We can now say that we are friends after a fight."
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei smiled and picked up the weapon on the ground and nodded:
"Okay, then I'd better obey your command."
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Captain Huang did not want to waste any more time. After all, there were still many things to do in the government office.
Then he bowed to Manager Qian and Jiang Yuwei and said:
"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I will go ahead. If Manager Qian has any more clues in the future, I will still trouble you to run errands."
After saying this, Captain Huang looked at Jiang Yuwei again.
"Manager Jiang, please be careful when you walk on the village roads in the future. Our government has also taken over many cases of casualties and disappearances, all of which are related to those bandits."
Jiang Yuwei nodded, and watched Captain Huang and his team leave in a hurry.
Jiang Yuwei paid the money to the shopkeeper Qian and left the blacksmith shop and headed for Moxiangzhai.
As a result, as soon as Jiang Yuwei came out of the blacksmith shop, a masked man sneaked into the shop.
Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Qian quickly closed the door of the shop and looked at the visitor with a face full of resentment.
"Why are you here in the daytime? You don't want to live, but I do!"
The man glared at Shopkeeper Qian and said in a muffled voice:
"Don't talk nonsense. Do you know that woman just now?"
Shopkeeper Qian scratched his head in confusion and said:
"Which woman? Oh, are you talking about the owner of Moxiangzhai who came to buy weapons just now?"
The man nodded and gritted his teeth and said:
"That woman and her men have harmed many of our brothers. I must teach them a lesson!"
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Qian hurriedly tried to persuade him:
"You better not cause any trouble in the city! Otherwise, even my shop will be in danger! Right now, there are patrolling police officers everywhere in the city. If something really happens, you will definitely not be able to escape!"
The man snorted disdainfully.
"When is it your turn to teach me how to do things? Have you forgotten how I made you shit and piss all over the place that day?"
Shopkeeper Qian shuddered when he heard this, and said with a smile:
"Oh, I'm reporting the situation in the city to you. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle, right?"
The man slammed the abacus on the counter and said coldly:
"Stop talking nonsense, are all the things I want ready?"
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Qian nodded and said:
"Okay, okay, come with me to the backyard!"
The man simply pulled away Shopkeeper Qian who wanted to lead the way and strode towards the backyard.
As soon as he opened the gate, he saw the yard full of weapons, so he nodded with satisfaction. After he looked around, he suddenly thought of something.
He turned around and glared at Shopkeeper Qian and said sternly:
"Where's the mace I asked you to prepare? Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"
When Shopkeeper Qian saw the man was angry, he was so frightened that he trembled like a sieve and waved his hands hurriedly:
"No, no, no, I've already prepared it, but it was just bought by that Shopkeeper Jiang... With Captain Huang next to me, I dare not say that I won't sell her. I'm afraid, afraid that they will suspect me..."
After hearing this, the man kicked the iron block at his feet, pulled out a knife from the weapon rack and pointed it at Qian's neck.
"Damn it, you don't dare to offend that bitch, but you dare to offend me, right? Do you believe that I will kill you right now?"
As he said that, the man put the knife towards Shopkeeper Qian's neck, which scared Shopkeeper Qian so much that he wet his pants.
