Chapter 303 The main thing is sincerity
Yang Bin laughed, "I did go to school for a few years, which made Zhao Shaoxia laugh."
Zhao Ya glanced at the people in the room again and said with some meaning: "It seems that Shopkeeper Yang has a high prestige."
"There's no prestige or prestige, it's just being entrusted by others and reluctantly being a steward." Yang Bin said.
Zhao Ya did not continue to struggle with this issue, but asked straight to the point: "I see that the town is very prosperous and lively. With such a good business, even if there are many disabled and widowed people to support, they will not be unable to pay the rent." Get up."
As if he had anticipated Zhao Ya's question, Yang Bin smiled bitterly and then said.
"I will tell you this even if you don't mention it. Indeed, in the eyes of outsiders, business in Nandian Town is very prosperous, but there is a reason for this."
"Our Nandian town has neither mountains nor water. The only convenience is that it is relatively close to the main road. But there are so many shops in the town close to the road. Why do people have to spend money to stay in your hotel?"
"For this reason, we can only use small profits but quick turnover and rely on low prices to attract passing merchants. That's why you will see that the business is so prosperous, but in fact there is not much profit at all."
"You can go to the town and investigate at will to find out whether I lied."
What he said was so impeccable that not even Zhao Ya could find any fault with it.
Looking at Yang Bin with a sincere face, Zhao Ya knew that he had met his opponent.
This is different from others. For example, when dealing with Hei Yunzi's gang, they would draw their swords and take action in the worst case.
But people like Yang Bin are different. Those who take the initiative have a sincere attitude and sincere expression.
But when it comes to asking for money, it’s just two words, no.
You still can't turn your back.
Because their reasons are sufficient and reasonable, you can't find anything to refute.
But the more this happened, the more Zhao Ya understood that there must be something fishy here, but he just didn't know it for the time being.
It was useless to stay any longer, because looking at the attitudes of Yang Bin and the others, he knew that he was destined to gain nothing today.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya nodded, "I see, then I'll go back and do the work."
After saying that, Zhao Ya stood up and planned to leave.
Yang Bin persuaded him, "It's snowing outside now, it's freezing cold, and the road is not easy to walk. How about Zhao Shaoxia stay in the town and wait until it clears up tomorrow before leaving."
"No need, the mere wind and snow can't do anything to me."
Zhao Ya said goodbye and left.
Yang Bin led a group of people to the door. Seeing Zhao Ya's figure completely disappearing in the wind and snow, Yang Bin said calmly.
"Go back and do your own business."
These deaf or mute disabled people turned around and left silently.
At the same time, Zhao Ya had also left Nandian Town, found a secluded forest, and began to change his appearance.
Now, with the proficiency of his techniques, Zhao Ya's disguise speed has been greatly accelerated. In just a moment, he transformed into a middle-aged man with a ginger complexion.
Then Zhao Ya concealed a sharp blade and entered Nandian Town again.
Mijia Old Store is a very inconspicuous inn, which looks very out of place among many gorgeously decorated shops.
Zhao Ya had noticed this Mijia Inn when he entered Nandian Town just now.
But before he could enter, Yang Bin and his men disrupted the plan.
After changing his disguise this time, Zhao Ya entered the inn smoothly.
The inn is very small, there are only two people in the lobby, a shopkeeper and a waiter.
When he saw Zhao Ya come in, the waiter hurriedly came up to him and said with an attentive face: "This guest, would you like to work in a hotel or stay in a hotel?"
"Stay in the hotel."
As he spoke, Zhao Ya glanced around the inn and asked, pretending to be confused: "I see that this town is very prosperous and many inns are full. Why is your house so deserted? Is it a black shop?"
The guy couldn't help but smile bitterly upon hearing this, "Master, you can't just say this kind of thing casually. It's true that we don't have many customers here, but there's nothing we can do about it."
"Oh? Why do you say there's nothing you can do?" Zhao Ya heard something in his heart and immediately asked.
But before the waiter could speak, the shopkeeper behind the counter suddenly coughed.
"Waiter, if the guests are here, why don't you go back and boil some water for tea?"
The guy responded quickly, "Yes."
Then he smiled apologetically at Zhao Ya and left in a hurry.
Zhao Ya knew there must be a reason, but the shopkeeper didn't want to say it.
He didn't continue to ask questions, found a clean table to sit down, and then started chatting with the shopkeeper.
Soon, Zhao Ya knew some basic information.
For example, the shopkeeper's surname is Mi, and his name is Mi Haichuan. He opened this inn, so it was named Mijia Inn.
At the same time, this Mi Haichuan is not a local, but from other places.
The little guy was also brought by him and was a distant relative of his.
"It's hard enough for you to go out to do business in such a cold weather." Mi Haichuan sighed at this time.
Zhao Ya also sighed, "Isn't there nothing I can do to support my family? If I had the skills like you, Shopkeeper Mi, I would also be willing to open a small inn, and then hide at home and be the shopkeeper comfortably."
Unexpectedly, Mi Haichuan just shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Everyone has their own difficulties. On the surface, you think I am very comfortable, but in fact, who knows my difficulties?"
Zhao Ya pretended to be surprised and asked: "Oh? What trouble can you have? It's just that you have fewer customers, so you earn less. To be honest, your sign is too inconspicuous, and it is difficult for ordinary people to notice it. "
"If I hadn't observed it carefully, I would have missed it. So if you want to make money, you still have to decorate it more gorgeously."
Mi Haichuan sighed after hearing this, "I don't know these things, but it's not that simple. You don't understand the secrets here. The water in Nandian Town is very deep."
Zhao Ya's heart moved, and just as he was about to continue questioning, the waiter came to serve tea.
Mi Haichuan stopped talking about this and went to arrange a room for Zhao Ya.
After serving tea, the waiter was about to leave when Zhao Ya stopped him.
"Stay here buddy."
"What are your orders, guest sir?"
"I don't have any instructions. I just wanted to ask why this small town store is so busy?"
"This is your first time coming to Nandian!" the waiter said with a smile.
"Well, this is indeed the first time to take this trade route." Zhao Ya said.
"That's right. Who among the caravans who often take this trade route doesn't know about Nandian Town? Only a novice like you would have such doubts."
Then the waiter looked around and saw that Mi Haichuan hadn't come back yet, so he leaned over and lowered his voice.
"You don't know, Nandian Town has a big background. It's not convenient for me to say what it is specifically, but you just need to remember this."
"After you come here, as long as you are willing to pay, you can get everything."
"Oh? Is it so good?" Zhao Ya was a little surprised.
"Okay?" The clerk sneered when he heard this, "It does sound good, but it is all based on the suffering of others. Take our small inn as an example. We must hand over at least 30% of the profits every year."
"why is that?"
"I don't know why, it's called management fee, but I haven't seen anyone manage it."
Thirty percent of profits doesn't sound like much, but it's actually a terrifying number.
This is especially true for a small shop like Mijia Inn.
Zhao Ya finally understood why this inn was so dilapidated. With so much money paid every year, even if he wanted to decorate it, he couldn't do it.
"But I see that the shops on the street are all gorgeously decorated. What's going on? Don't they have to pay?" Zhao Ya asked.
"They really don't have to pay, because they are Uncle Yang's property."
Although the waiter tried his best to hide it, when the three words Uncle Yang were mentioned, his face was still full of contempt.
Zhao Ya knew that he had finally gotten to the root of the matter.
No need to ask, this Uncle Yang must be Yang Bin.
But just when Zhao Ya was about to ask what was going on, a group of people suddenly broke in outside the door.
The leader was missing an arm and half of his ear, but even so, he still looked arrogant.
As soon as he saw him, the waiter's expression changed immediately. He no longer dared to talk to Zhao Ya and hurriedly greeted him.
"Master Hao, you are here!"
"Well, Mr. Yang just said something. Important people are coming today, so all the shops in the town have to be inspected." Lian Hao said with an arrogant look.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Hao. Our Mijia Inn has always abided by the law and we guarantee that there will be no problems."
"Huh, that's not something you can just say." Lian Hao sneered, then raised his remaining hand and pointed.
"Check it carefully for me."
When the men following him heard this, they immediately rushed forward like wolves and tigers.
The guy's face changed immediately.
Because if this group of people were allowed to break into the inn, they would not only disturb the guests, but also cause irreparable losses.
These people don't care about anything else. They just call it inspection. It can be seen that they will not let go of anything valuable they see.
At this moment, Mi Haichuan, who had gone to prepare a room for Zhao Ya at the back, hurried over.
When I saw Lian Hao, the most notorious top thug in Nandian Town, leading a group of people to the inn, I couldn't help but secretly groan in my heart.
But now that he couldn't hide, he could only face it bravely.
"Master Hao, Master Hao, don't you know what my Mijia Inn looks like? There's really nothing to investigate. You and your brothers should have a cup of tea."
As he spoke, Mi Haichuan handed over a piece of silver calmly.
But Lian Hao didn't even look at it, he just said calmly: "I'm sorry, shopkeeper Mi, it's official business, I have no choice but to offend you today."
As he spoke, he took a step forward and walked inside.
Mi Haichuan still didn't understand what it meant. He knew it was too little, and he couldn't help but take out another piece of silver.
"Master Hao, please let me live."
Lian Hao took it calmly and after weighing it, he showed a satisfied smile.
"Shopkeeper Mi is a sensible person. After so many years of relationship, I also know that you will not cause trouble, but this time is unusual. Master Yang personally told you to be prepared, so you'd better be careful these days, especially don't be casual. You’re talking nonsense, do you understand?”
Mi Haichuan nodded repeatedly and patted his chest to promise that he would never talk nonsense.
Lian Hao then left with his men satisfied.
Mi Haichuan sent him out the door. He breathed a sigh of relief until no one could be seen anymore, and then secretly spat.
Bah, what a dog relying on human power.
But he only dared to shout these words twice in his heart, and he didn't even dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
After all, he couldn't guarantee whether there were Lian Hao's spies among the pedestrians on the street.
This month has been in vain again!
Mi Haichuan turned around and entered the house feeling distressed and helpless. He originally wanted to tell the guest who just came today to be careful these days.
Unexpectedly, there was no trace of Zhao Ya in the hall.
The waiter said: "The guest officer just now said that he had been too hard these past few days, so he went back to the guest room to rest."
Mi Haichuan didn't doubt his presence. After sighing, he turned back to his own business.
At the same time, in the guest room on the second floor, Zhao Ya was sitting cross-legged in meditation, waiting for darkness to arrive.
He was very glad that he came to Nandian Town twice, because only in this way could he more intuitively understand the differences between the two.
The first time Zhao Ya came as a disciple of Canglong Temple, all he felt at that time was the prosperity of Nandian Town and the kindness of Yang Bin and others.
But when he came in as an ordinary businessman this time, he saw a completely different picture.
Just like this Lian Hao.
Zhao Ya clearly remembered that in that house at that time, Lian Hao was not even qualified to stand in front of the crowd and always stood behind the crowd.
And he had a simple and honest smile on his face the whole time. Compared with the arrogance in the Mijia Inn just now, he was completely different.
Especially when these people talk about Yang Bin, they always talk about it, which reveals the clues inside.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya suddenly sighed.
Because of such an obvious thing, Zhao Ya didn't believe that the people sent by Canglong Temple before could not notice it.
Even if there are inexperienced disciples who will be deceived, those experienced in the world can almost see the fishiness in it.
And I was able to find so many clues with just a little investigation. There is no reason why others can't do the same.
This can only prove one thing, that is, those who were sent were either bribed by Yang Bin or the forces behind him, or they were aware of the danger and deliberately chose to ignore it.
But the more this happened, the more interested Zhao Ya became.
Because he came here to stir up trouble, Shen Yunshen explained to him when he was at Canglong Temple that he didn't have to worry about the risks this time and could just go and investigate boldly. If anything happened, he and the elder would be responsible.
With this promise, Zhao Ya will certainly not be afraid.
In the afternoon, the snow not only did not stop, but became more and more intense.
Because of the bad weather, it was already completely dark before dinner time.
Listening to the howling wind outside the window, Zhao Ya slowly stood up, adjusted his energy and blood, adjusted his condition to the best, and then dived into the wind and snow ocean like a fish.
Sorry for the late update
