Chapter 17 The Xu family, the donkey cart leaves the city
"Bang!"
The simple side shop next to the road slashed on the counter with a knife.
With a thud, the counter was split into two, cracked from it, and all the things placed on it fell to the ground.
The noodle shop owner who sold the noodle shop was shocked and angry, glaring at Xu Xing, shouting in fear: "What are you...what are you going to do?!"
Xu Xing had no expression on his face, but he slowly raised the hatchet in his hand and pointed at the owner of the shop: "Why do you lie to me?"
The boss of the noodles shop looked a little flustered, and his eyes were floating, "I...I don't know what you are talking about!"
Xu Xing said: "You can continue to pretend that you don't know, but I'm not sure if my next knife will hit you. Or, this note was written by you?"
Seeing Xu Xing's eyes becoming sharp and there were signs of taking action, the owner of the dough shop hurriedly said, "I don't have one, it's not me, don't talk nonsense!"
Xu Xing stared at the boss of the facial shop, his face was silent and cold.
The owner of the noodles shop shrank his neck, swallowed his saliva, and said, "You... don't do anything randomly! I... will you let me go after I say it?"
Xu Xing said: "That depends on what you said, whether it is true."
The noodle shop owner hurriedly said, "It's true! This time it's true! I will definitely not lie to you!"
Xu Xing said in a calm tone: "Say."
The owner of the noodle shop wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "It was the person who looked like a accountant and asked me to lie to you, and he also gave the note!"
Xu Xing said: "Do you know him?"
The owner of the dough shop shook his head repeatedly: "I don't know him, I don't know him! He gave me five taels of silver!" As he said that, he trembled his hands, took out the silver and handed it to Xu Xing.
Xu Xing glanced at Yinzi, took back the hatchet, and said, "If you dare to lie to me again, you know the consequences!"
When the owner of the noodle shop saw that Xu Xing did not ask for the five taels of silver, he secretly felt happy and kept saying, "I know, I know! This time it's really true!"
Xu Xing remembered that when the account room left, he was heading towards the direction of the city. It was just that it took so long that Xu Xing was not sure if he could find this person.
I entered the mansion all the way and found one shop after another, but I still couldn't find the accountant.
After searching for more than two hours in a row, Xu Xing was already a little tired. When he was about to give up, his eyes narrowed and he accidentally discovered the target.
A dozen steps away from Xu Xing, the accountant had already changed his clothes and walked into a grand business without any rushing. He said a few words to the shopkeeper in front of the counter, and turned to the backstage.
Xu Xing pretended to look at the things on the stall in front of him, but in fact he was paying close attention to the figure of the accountant.
"Hey, brother, you have been watching for so long, will you buy it?" The stall vendor couldn't help but ask.
Xu Xing was holding a small pendant made of jade. He pointed to the grand business casually and asked, "Where is that place, do you know?"
The vendor looked up and said, "You mean Xu's business! That's the largest business in Nancheng County! The things sold in it include food, clothing, housing and transportation, rare antiques, and all kinds of things! It's just that it's not good, the things sold in it are too expensive!"
Another stall vendor next to him smiled and said, "The things we sell are not expensive, but unfortunately, no one should buy them, so no one should buy them!"
The vendor in front of Xu Xing looked a little disappointed when he heard this, and said, "I said, do you buy it? You don't look good at what you are wearing. You ask what the Xu Trading Company is doing? Do you still want to go in and have a look? Just your clothes, tsk, I think you can't even get in! "
Xu Xing weighed the pendant in his hand and smiled and said, "If you can tell me about the Xu business, maybe I'll buy it."
The vendor had a little doubt in his eyes: "Really? Do you have money to buy it? This pendant is worth 300 cents!"
Xu Xing didn't say anything, but took out a piece of silver.
When the vendor saw Yinzi, he immediately smiled and said, "Since you want to hear, I will tell you!
"It is said that this Xu's business has a history of more than 600 years. It is really a century-old business among the century-old business! The things sold by their business are so expensive! But just like those high-ranking officials and nobles like to buy things from their business business. Do you think it's strange?"
The vendor who interrupted before said again: "What's wrong with it? We just don't have money. If we have money, don't you want to go in and take a look and buy one or two things to show off?"
The vendor in front of Xu Xing said unhappily: "Go and go, I didn't talk to you, why are you always fucking me!"
Then he said to Xu Xing: "Brother, don't pay attention to that guy!"
Xu Xing smiled slightly and asked, "Since this Xu's business has a history of more than 600 years, do you know its origin?"
The vendor replied: "I know, who doesn't know anyone who has heard of the name of the Xu family's business? Although the Xu family's business is now open throughout our entire Linji country, it is said that when they first started their business, they started their business by selling pearls and sea fish!
"You may not believe it. The headquarters of Xu's Commercial Bank is in our Nancheng County!"
When he said this, the vendor's face showed a bit of honor.
Xu Xing's expression moved slightly: "Oh? Is this business in front of us their headquarters?"
The vendor shook his head and smiled, "I knew you would think so, but you guessed it wrong! The headquarters of Xu's Commercial Bank is not the one in front of me, but it is in the eastern Suning County! How about it? I didn't expect it!
"Although the business in Suning County looks inconspicuous and not well-known, it is the first business founded by Xu's business six hundred years ago!
"Not only that, Suning County is also the birthplace of the Xu family. It is said that everyone in the Xu family comes from the ancestral home of the Xu family in Suning County!
"When it comes to the ancestral sacrifice every year, all the Xu clans, no matter where they are, will return to their ancestral homes in Suning County for their ancestral sacrifice!
"That scene, oh, it's so spectacular!"
Xu Xing suddenly realized: "So that's it! OK, I bought this pendant!" He handed over the broken silver.
What he thought in his mind was: "Xu's business, Xu's family... It seems that the mysterious shadow man should be inseparable from this Xu's family!"
The vendor took the broken silver, took out a small scale, and after weighing it, he heded the broken silver into two smaller pieces with a hinge. One of the larger ones was given to Xu Xing. After weighing the smaller ones again, he picked up the abacus and calculated for a while, and then retrieved dozens of copper coins for Xu Xing, and said with a smile: "Brother, this is the money I have asked you, you have collected it!"
Xu Xing was surprised to see him. He didn't expect that just a piece of silver would be so fine.
Xu Xing put away the money he had recovered from the vendor, thanked him, glanced at the Xu business store, and then turned around and left.
For Xu Xing, after pursuing this trip, it is already considered that he can know who the enemy in the dark is.
As for revenge, that is something that will happen in the future.
Xu Xing opened the note in his hand, and there was only one very short six words on it: "Hecheng County, Jishui River."
After traveling through time, Xu Xing has already known that he is in a place called Yuan Geng Continent.
On this continent, there is a river called Jishui, which winds from west to east, divides the continent into two halves, forming two countries.
To the south of the Ji River is the Qiuchuan Kingdom, and to the north of the Ji River is the Linji Kingdom.
Nancheng County is the easternmost county in Linji Country.
Under Nancheng County, there are three counties: Suning County, Yu'an County and Hecheng County.
To the west of Yu'an County is Hecheng County; further west of Hecheng County is Jishui River; after crossing Jishui River, it is another country, Qiuchuan Country.
Xu Xing looked at the words on the note and hesitated a little in his heart whether to execute this command.
Logically speaking, Xu Xing has now controlled the Xun Pose Phantom Killing Gu in his body. If he is careful to avoid those people from the Xu family's business, it will be very likely to get rid of the surveillance of the mysterious shadow man.
But Xu Xing was not sure whether the shadow man had other surveillance methods, which made him feel a little confused.
Getting rid of the surveillance of the shadow man is equivalent to breaking apart with this man and the organization behind him and becoming enemies.
But Xu Xing's strength is still far from that. If the shadow man finds it again, he may have life worries.
While thinking about the pros and cons, a group of constables ran past the street, leading the middle-aged captain Xu Xing had seen last night. He heard the man shouting loudly: "Hurry up, go back to the government office and ride on a fast horse and go to Hecheng County! You must stop them before they cross the Ji River!"
Xu Xing watched the group of people running away, pondered for a moment, and then made a decision.
There is only one life. When the strength is not enough and the situation is not very clear, it is better to be cautious.
Anyway, the group of constables from the government office have to go to Hecheng County, so they simply follow the group of people and go over and take a look.
He came to the carriage and horse shop. Xu Xing originally planned to rent a horse for transportation, but learned that the carriage and horse shop only rented a carriage and did not rent a horse, and the carriage had to be driven by the groom of the carriage and horse shop.
If you want a horse, you have to spend money to buy it. You will get at least fifteen taels of silver when you buy a bad horse. If it is a good horse, you will need thirty taels of silver to go up.
Xu Xing touched his shriveled purse, and there were only three small pieces of silver left on his body, probably less than three taels of silver.
In the end, Xu Xing chose to rent a donkey cart.
Even if you rent a donkey cart, it would cost you one and a half taels of money.
Sitting in the donkey cart and leaving the city swayingly, Xu Xing couldn't help but think of the scholar who poisoned his wounds.
If this person is right, if you really go to the treasure house hidden by the county magistrate, you may no longer have to worry about money.
