Chapter 31 Snitch
Today's Wanjiang Pavilion is full of people, and the grand occasion is far more exaggerated than the Jianfeng Tower where there was an event yesterday.
In fact, many people gathered in front of the store before it even opened in the early morning.
The carriages of various families blocked the road.
Yesterday, the news that Zhao Hanqing brought a group of wealthy young men to buy swords had already spread in the city.
Coupled with the fact that Du Yujiang secretly arranged for people to deliberately spread the word, the Wei-branded sword became famous overnight.
It attracted many people who love swords to come and check it out, which created the grand scene in the store today.
Of course, only a very small number of the customers who come to the store are those who have the ability and really want to buy the Wei-branded sword.
Most of them had heard the miraculous news and wanted to come to the store to see
what kind of sword it was that could be fought over by young masters from various families.
It's a pity that they can only come here to take advantage of the excitement and return in despair.
Because the Wei-branded swords in the store have long been sold out, there is no real object for them to taste.
"When will this sword with the word Wei be available?" asked a rich man in brocade attire.
"I'm really sorry, dear customer. It's hard to say the specific time, because it's all pre-ordered now. There are already ten pre-orders. It is estimated that it will take ten days at the fastest, and it may take more than half a month if it is slower." The clerk explained.
"It takes so long!"
"There is really nothing we can do about it, distinguished guest. After all, a good Wei-style sword needs to go through hundreds of processes, so there is no need to rush. We Wei-style swordsmiths treat every sword with great care. , but they are all made with hard work and excellence, so a good sword is worth waiting for."
"Young man, reserve a sword with the word Wei for this young master. This is the deposit..." Someone shouted from the side.
"Sir, if you want to buy it, I suggest you pay a deposit as soon as possible, and I will place a number for you, because the swordsmith Wei Zi said that he will only accept twenty reservations this month. If it is full, you can only place a reservation. Let's talk about it later."
"Okay, then I'll reserve one too!"
In the Jianfeng Tower, Qiu Xuanji looked at the endless stream of guests at the entrance of Wanjiang Pavilion with a gloomy expression.
I was also quite depressed.
He never expected that after one operation, not only did he not press the gourd, he actually gave someone a gourd baby.
Now all his plans have completely failed and all his previous efforts have been wasted.
On the contrary, Wanjiange suddenly returned to its former glory through Wei Yi.
A jewelry sword is the main product of every sword shop, and it is also the product with the largest market and largest sales volume.
Whoever can dominate this market will be the winner.
Obviously, Wanjiange has become the dominant player in this market with its Wei-branded sword.
In the courtyard of the Wei family, Wei Yi was forging the sword with great concentration, unaware of the passage of time.
During this period of time, working outdoors forged iron gave his originally fair and jade-like complexion a hint of healthy color.
But he still couldn't hide his elegant and handsome appearance and temperament.
After Wei Qing finished her housework, she went to the market with a basket to buy today's ingredients.
During this period, the blacksmith shop reopened and business gradually improved. During the day, Wei Xue needed to take care of the shop.
So the task of going to the market to purchase was given to Wei Qing.
After Wei Qing bought vegetables, meat, fresh fish and other ingredients at the market, she was about to go back when she
saw a dirty little girl kneeling on the street begging at the entrance of the market.
She looked pitiful and felt compassion, so she gave the two remaining coins to the little girl.
However, at this moment, in the crowd, a man with a sly eyebrow fell on the bulging purse around Wei Qing's waist.
But seeing Wei Qing turn around and walk forward, he immediately followed her quickly.
When passing by Wei Qing, he ripped off the purse from her waist and ran away.
"Ah - my purse!" Wei Qing exclaimed, and immediately chased and shouted: "Catch the thief, catch the thief quickly!"
However, she could not outrun the snitch, but her shout immediately attracted the attention of the people around her. of attention.
Everyone looked at the thief who was running away in a hurry.
But no one went to help chase him, but some good-hearted people followed him and shouted to catch the thief.
However, at this moment, a man in green shirt who was shopping on the roadside heard the shouts of the crowd and immediately followed them.
At a glance, he saw the snitch running into the alley.
He immediately gave chase without hesitation.
But the snitch ran so fast that he couldn't catch up for a while. "You brat, you can't run away!"
"Stop!" the man in green shirt shouted.
"Damn, you meddling guy!" The snitch cursed, but kept walking.
He squeezed the purse in his hand and felt that it was not filled with silver.
"Could it be a banknote? Haha, now he's prosperous!" The snitch thought to himself and ran faster.
He rushed out of the alley and came to another main street. With a glance, he locked his eyes on a dark alley in the distance and prepared to escape there.
However, at this moment, an extremely luxurious carriage turned around from the street.
The wooden sign of Prince Jing'an's Palace hung on the carriage, and there were four guards with swords following behind the carriage.
"Catch the thief, catch the thief!" The man in green shirt shouted immediately when he saw the guard behind the carriage.
I hope to attract their attention and help intercept the snitch.
However, the guards had not moved yet, but a graceful figure in red clothes rushed out from the carriage.
She was as light as a swallow, her skirt was flying, her silk shoes lightly stepped on the ground, and after a few jumps, she was already behind the snitch.
Kicked him to the ground.
The snitch still wanted to escape, but he heard a sharp sound, a flash of cold light, and a sharp long sword in front of him.
"Xia Xia, please spare my life, Xia Xia, please spare your life!" The snitch suddenly became frightened and directly begged for mercy.
This woman in red has a straight figure, a slender waist and long legs. Although her chest is flat, her appearance is bright and beautiful, and she has a bit of heroism.
The high ponytail is tied up with a silver hoop on the head, which makes her look even more crisp and elegant.
She stretched out her hand and snatched the purse from the snitch's hand, and angrily said: "You are a bold thief, you dare to steal other people's property in the street in broad daylight." After saying that, she kicked the
thief several times.
She was a top-level warrior. Although she did not use the blood in her body, the snitch also cried out in pain after these few kicks.
The bones will be broken by the kick.
"Xia Xia, please spare my life, Xia Xia, please spare my life, I was confused for a moment, I don't dare to do it anymore, Xia Xia, please spare me!"
At this moment, four guards had also surrounded them, and the man in green shirt who was chasing them also ran over, panting.
"Take him to the Yamen." The woman in red said sternly.
"Yes, Miss Lin." Two guards with knives escorted the snitch to the county government office.
The woman in red's eyes fell on the man in green, her brows furrowed slightly, and she saw that the purse in her hand was not for a man, but more like a girl's belongings.
He asked with some surprise: "Is this yours?"
"No, no, I just heard someone shouting to catch the thief, so I chased him. I didn't notice who lost it at the time, but I guess the owner of the purse still had it. At the market." The man in green shirt scratched his head and said.
"Where did you come from?" the woman in red asked again.
"It's the market over there."
The woman in red looked at the man's gesture.
I wanted to hand the purse to the man in green shirt, but I felt it was inappropriate. After all, he was not the owner of the purse.
If he hid it secretly, wouldn't he have caught the snitch in vain?
It would be better to go to the market by yourself and look for the missing person.
But now he is about to accompany the princess to Zhushan Residence and attend the elegant gathering, so he cannot delay for too long.
You have to go back quickly.
"Princess, I'm going to the market and I'll be back soon." The woman in red said to the carriage and ran quickly towards the street where the market was located.
"Xun'er..."
The curtains of the carriage opened, revealing a face that was so beautiful and touching.
