Xin'an Town.
It is located in a plain with developed water conservancy. It is also the only place from the south of the Yangtze River to the Holy City.
It stands to reason that with such a unique geographical advantage, both economy and commerce should be very developed.
But the reality is not as good as everyone thought.
You must know that in this world, it is not just businessmen who travel all over the world.
There are more people who are uncontrolled.
Therefore, the most common people in Xin'an Town are Jianghu people who come to the house with swords and beg for food.
Xin'an Town is not big, and there is also a government office established by the imperial court.
But since three hundred years ago, a man flew in the sky of the Holy City and wiped out more than 2,000 Tsing Yi Guard masters in the imperial court with one sword.
The government was like a frost beating an eggplant.
Yamen police officers from all over the country will stay away from anyone holding a sword. I was afraid that this group of people would shout "eliminating harm for the people" while plundering themselves for the money and food just distributed by the imperial court.
This deformed world naturally has a deformed way of life.
Take Xin'an Town as an example. You can see ordinary people holding swords bargaining with bosses holding swords everywhere on the streets.
An Xin was wearing a green robe and walking on the streets of Xin'an Town while holding a white horse.
Looking at this group of so-called "jianghu people", they didn't stop.
However, the appearance of An Xin attracted the attention of this group of "jianghu people".
This temperament, this dress. It is really incomparable to this group of "jianghu people" who wear patchwork and rough clothes.
An Xin ignored the gazes of this group of people and walked straight to an inn in the center of the town.
There is no plaque in the inn, and there are two stone lions at the door, but it seems that no one has cleaned it for a long time, and it is full of dust.
An Xin tied the horse to the stone lion on the left and walked into the inn.
The inn has three floors. The first floor is a hall used to entertain ordinary guests for meals. The second floor is a box used to greet some so-called distinguished guests. The third floor is a guest room, used to stay in the Jianghu people who have lived in Xin'an Town for a long time.
An Xin entered the inn and found that the lobby on the first floor was empty. Except for the passage from the door to the stairs on the second floor, the rest of the place was covered in dust. Spider webs are everywhere.
A young man wearing a coarse linen robe and a rag over his shoulders heard someone in the hall and looked down through the railing. He saw a young man dressed in rich clothes standing downstairs. The young man seemed to have noticed himself and looked up at him. Nodding towards him with a smile.
The young man in the burlap robe had never seen such a beautiful smile. He quickly went downstairs and saluted:
"Sir, do you want to work in a hotel or stay in a hotel?"
An Xin, after hearing the words of the young man in burlap robes, he quickly returned the greeting:
"I originally planned to eat and sleep here for one night, but you can stay here?"
An Xin did not finish her words, but looked at the dusty tables and chairs on the first floor.
The young man in the coarse linen robe looked at An Xin's eyes and said:
"Sorry, the guests who come to my place are all self-identified people. They don't want to sit down and wait in the lobby. They all dine in the private room on the second floor. As for the accommodation, I'm sorry. There are long-term guests in this inn, but there are no longer any. Extra room.”
An Anxin smiled after hearing the words of the young man in burlap robes:
"Then your inn's business is pretty good!"
The young man in coarse linen robe shook his head when he heard An Xin's words, with a wry smile on his face, but did not speak.
He led An Xin to a private room on the second floor. The location of the box was not good, there were no windows or screens.
An Xin just wanted to change rooms with the young man in coarse linen robes.
But a rough voice came from not far away:
"Qiu Sheng, where did you go? There is no wine here. Bring me some wine."
When the young man in the coarse linen robe heard the voice, his face instantly turned livid, and his lowered hands clenched slightly. But then he took a deep breath. He shouted in the direction where the sound just came from:
"Here we go, the wine will be here soon!"
After saying that, he ran out in the direction of the sound.
An Xin looked at the back of the young man running out and said nothing.
But after a while, the sound of fighting came from outside.
An Xin quickly looked outside and saw the young man in a rough linen robe being pushed out of the box. The young man stumbled and fell to the ground. Just as he was about to get up, a bench flew out of the box and hit the young man in rough robes on the forehead.
The young man in rough robe stumbled and fell to the ground again, blood immediately flowing out from his forehead.
An Xin, stunned, quickly walked to the young man in rough robes and helped him up. He glanced at the wound on the young man's forehead. He handed the young man a porcelain bottle and said:
"This is the best gold sore medicine. You can take it and bandage it."
The young man in rough robes saw the porcelain bottle in An Xin's hand, but did not reach out to take it. He shook his still dizzy head and said helplessly:
"No, I'm used to it. I can't afford this either."
An Anxin heard what the young man in coarse robes said, put the porcelain bottle in his arms, and said with a smile:
"It's okay. It doesn't cost any money. I gave it to you."
After speaking, he looked in through the box door. I saw a group of strong men standing in the box, with their chests and breasts exposed. Jiang Xi put the shining nine-ring knife on the table. He was staring closely at An Xin and the young man in rough robes.
One of the big men pointed at An Xin and the two and cursed:
"Who are you to interfere with our Northwest Xiba affairs?"
An Xin glanced at the big man in the west and slowly said:
"peace of mind"
When the strong Western man heard An Xin's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. A strong man pointed at An Xin and mocked:
"Haha, you are An Xin, Young Master Xie is An Xin? You can't hold back your bragging. If you are An Xin, I will be the Taoist Priest Wuxing."
The strong man's voice was so loud that it immediately attracted everyone in the inn. Even the guests in the private rooms on the third floor came out of their private rooms and looked over.
An Xin said nothing, supported the young man in rough robes, and walked to his box.
Seeing An Xin being like this, the big Western man thought that An Xin's lie had been exposed and wanted to escape. He was just about to pick up a big knife and teach this hairless young man a lesson.
But with a "bang", the table in the box where the strong man was sitting, the wine, food, dishes and Naxi's nine-ring sword immediately turned into powder and disappeared in the air.
When the onlookers saw this scene, they all opened their mouths and looked at An Xin in horror.
The strong man was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat and sat on the ground.
An Xin ignored everyone's gazes and said to the young man in rough robes next to him:
"Calculate the things, how much they cost!"
The young man in rough robe looked at An Xin and burst into tears. He sat down regardless of whether the ground was clean or not.
The pitiful cry immediately attracted everyone's attention.
But when the onlookers saw this scene, they were surprisingly quiet.
The young man in the rough robe, maybe tired from crying, wiped his red eyes with his sleeve, got up, walked to the room where the wine was stored, took two jars of wine and handed one jar to An Xin. He opened his mouth and said:
"You are a good person, I will buy you a drink."
After saying that, without waiting for An Xin's answer, he opened the wine seal and drank it in a big gulp. He said to himself:
"My name is Qiu Sheng, and I just want to make a living in this world, but why do you always bully me? You don't give me money to eat or stay in a hotel. You beat me and scold me at every turn, and you also say to me: Jianghu people, I don’t know what money is.”
After speaking, he took another sip of wine and continued:
"I pledged the inn to Yafang and asked them to help resell it, but they said: No one dares to buy my inn. No one dares to buy it even if I put up a tael of silver. They also said that they would help me put it up first because of my pity, but It’s up to chance whether it sells or not.”
After speaking, he pointed his finger at the onlookers and continued to mock:
"You said, you are from the Jianghu. Haha, are you worthy? You are all bandits, you are all robbers."
After speaking, he lay on the ground and hummed a ditty softly:
"Wine does not intoxicate people, people intoxicate themselves. Why do we need to make a living..."
But before he finished singing, he felt someone kicking him.
Qiu Sheng, confused, looked up and saw that it was An Xin. At this time, An Xin held a land deed in his hand and waved it in front of him:
"I just bought this inn over there at the Yafang, and they said you are selling yourself along with this inn. If what they say is true, now I am the owner of this inn, and you will be mine from now on. Dude."
Qiu Sheng was stunned when he heard An Xin's words, then stood up and said:
"Did you really buy this inn?"
After saying that, he showed a silly smile.
An Xin nodded:
"Don't tell me that this inn is quite cheap. I bought it for 1 tael. The key is to buy the inn and give the waiter a free gift. By the way, this inn will be mine from now on. From now on, all the income from this inn will belong to me. ”
After saying that, he kicked Qiu Sheng, who looked delighted, and cursed:
"You're laughing your ass off. Why don't you close the door to the inn? I heard you say that these scumbags are eating and staying in my inn without paying for it. It's a disgrace to them. "
After scolding, he said to the onlookers:
"You are already surrounded by me. If you don't want to die, give me money!"
