Chapter 303 The Main Point Is Sincerity

Yang Bin laughed, "I did go to school for a few years. I'm sorry to make you laugh, young man Zhao."

Zhao Ya glanced at the people in the room again and said meaningfully, "It seems that Manager Yang has a high prestige."

"It's not about prestige or not. I'm just a housekeeper entrusted by everyone and I'm just doing it reluctantly." Yang Bin said.

Zhao Ya didn't continue to dwell on this issue, but asked directly, "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 won't be unable to pay the rent."

As if he had anticipated Zhao Ya's question, Yang Bin smiled bitterly and said.

"Even if you don't mention it, I will tell you. Indeed, to outsiders, the business in Nandian Town is very prosperous, but there are reasons for this."

"Our Nandian Town is not close to the mountains or the water. The only convenient condition is that it is close to the road, but there are so many shops near the road. Why do people have to come to your place to spend money to stay in the hotel?"

"For this reason, we can only attract passing merchants by selling at low prices through the method of small profits but quick turnover, so 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 to investigate this and you will know whether I am lying or not."

This statement is flawless, even Zhao Ya can't find any fault.

Looking at Yang Bin with a sincere face, Zhao Ya knew that he had met an opponent.

This is different from others. For example, when dealing with Hei Yunzi's gang, the worst case scenario is to draw a sword and fight.

But Yang Bin and his people are different. The initiative is a sincere attitude and a sincere expression.

But when it comes to asking for money, there are only two words: no.

You can't turn your face.

Because the other person's reasons are both sufficient and reasonable, you can't find any place to refute.

But the more this happens, the more Zhao Ya understands that there must be something fishy here, but he just doesn't know it for the time being.

There is no point staying any longer, because looking at the attitude of Yang Bin and his group, you know that you are destined to gain nothing today.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya nodded, "So that's the case, then I will go back and report."

Zhao Ya stood up and planned to leave.

Yang Bin persuaded him to stay, "It's snowing outside now, it's cold and the road is not easy to walk. Otherwise, young man Zhao should stay in the town and leave after it clears up tomorrow."

"No need, the wind and snow can't do anything to me."

Zhao Ya said and left.

Yang Bin and his group of people sent him to the door. Seeing that Zhao Ya's figure completely disappeared in the wind and snow, Yang Bin said lightly.

"Go back and do your own things."

The disabled people, who were either deaf or dumb, turned around and left silently.

At the same time, Zhao Ya had also left Nandian Town and found a secluded forest to start disguising himself.

Now with his skillful technique, Zhao Ya's disguise speed has greatly increased. In just a moment, he has transformed himself into a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion.

After that, Zhao Ya hid his sharp blade and entered Nandian Town again.

The Mi Family Inn is a very inconspicuous inn, sandwiched among many gorgeously decorated shops, and it seems very out of place.

As early as when he entered Nandian Town just now, Zhao Ya noticed this Mi Family Inn.

But before he could enter, Yang Bin and his men disrupted his plan.

After disguising himself this time, Zhao Ya entered the inn smoothly.

The inn is very small, with only two people in the hall, a shopkeeper and a waiter.

When the waiter saw Zhao Ya coming in, he hurriedly came up to him and said attentively: "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"

"I'm staying overnight."

Zhao Ya glanced around the inn and asked in a puzzled manner: "I see this town is very prosperous, and many inns are full. Why is yours so deserted? Is it a black shop?"

The waiter couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Sir, you can't say such things casually. We don't have many guests, but there is nothing we can do."

"Oh? Why do you say there is nothing we can do?" Zhao Ya was moved and asked immediately.

But before the waiter could speak, the shopkeeper behind the counter suddenly coughed.

"Waiter, the guests are here, why don't you go to the back to boil water and make tea."

The waiter hurriedly responded, "Yes."

Then he smiled apologetically at Zhao Ya and left in a hurry.

Zhao Ya knew there must be a reason for this, but the shopkeeper was unwilling to say it.

He did not continue to ask, found a clean table to sit down, and then began to chat with the shopkeeper.

Soon, Zhao Ya knew some basic information.

For example, the shopkeeper's surname was Mi, and his name was Mi Haichuan. This inn was opened by him, so it was named Mi's Inn.

At the same time, Mi Haichuan was not a local, but came from outside.

The young man was also brought by him, and he was a distant relative of his.

"It's hard enough for you to go out to do business in such cold weather." Mi Haichuan sighed at this time.

Zhao Ya also sighed, "Isn't this for the sake of supporting the family? If I have the ability of shopkeeper Mi, I would also like to open a small inn and hide at home to be a shopkeeper comfortably."

Unexpectedly, Mi Haichuan just shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Everyone has their own difficulties. You look very comfortable on the surface, but who knows my difficulties in fact?"

Zhao Ya pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh? What's the problem? It's just that there are few customers, so you earn less. To be honest, your sign is too inconspicuous, and it's hard for ordinary people to notice it."

"If I hadn't observed carefully, I would have missed it. So if you want to make money, you still have to decorate it more gorgeously."

Mi Haichuan sighed, "I know these things, but it's not that simple. You don't understand the tricks here. The water in Nandian Town is very deep."

Zhao Ya's heart moved, and just as he was about to continue asking questions, the waiter came to serve tea.

Mi Haichuan stopped talking about these things, and went to arrange a room for Zhao Ya.

After serving tea, the waiter was about to leave, but Zhao Ya stopped him.

"Waiter, please stay."

"What do you want, sir?"

"No, I just want to ask why this small town store is so lively?"

"Is this your first time in Nandian, sir!" The waiter smiled.

"Well, it's indeed the first time to take this trade route." Zhao Ya said.

"That's right, which caravan that often takes this trade route doesn't know 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. I'm not convenient to say what it is, but you just need to remember this."

"After coming here, as long as you are willing to pay, you can have everything."

"Oh? So good?" Zhao Ya was a little surprised.

"Good?" The waiter sneered at the words, "It sounds good, but it's all based on the pain of others. Take our small inn for example, we have to hand over at least 30% of the profit every year."

"Why is that?"

"How do I know why? It's called management fee, but I haven't seen anyone manage it."

30% of the profit doesn't sound much, but it's actually a very scary number.

This is especially true for a small store like Mi's Inn.

Zhao Ya finally understood why the inn was so shabby. With so much money to pay every year, it was powerless to renovate it.

"But I see that the shops on the street are all decorated gorgeously. What's going on? Don't they have to pay?" Zhao Ya asked.

"They really don't have to pay, because they are originally the property of Uncle Yang."

Although the waiter tried his best to cover it up, his face was full of contempt when he mentioned the three words Uncle Yang.

Zhao Ya knew that he had finally asked the root of the problem.

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 from outside the door.

The leader was missing an arm and half of his ear, but even so, he still looked arrogant.

When he saw him, the waiter's face changed immediately. He didn't dare to talk to Zhao Ya anymore and hurried to greet him.

"Master Hao, you are here!"

"Well, Master Yang just said that an important person is coming today, so all the shops in the town have to be checked." Lian Hao said arrogantly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Hao. Our Mijia Inn has always abided by the law and guaranteed that there will be no problems."

"Hmph, that's not something you can decide." Lian Hao sneered, then raised his remaining hand and pointed.

"Check it carefully for me."

The men following behind him heard the words and immediately rushed forward like wolves and tigers.

The man's face changed at that time.

Because if this group of people broke into the inn, it would not only disturb the guests, but also cause irreparable losses.

These people don't care about anything else. They call it inspection, but they will not let go of anything valuable.

At this time, Mi Haichuan, who was originally going to the back to prepare a room for Zhao Ya, hurried over.

Seeing that Lian Hao, the most notorious number one thug in Nandian Town, came to the inn with a group of people, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

But now he couldn't hide anymore, so he could only bite the bullet and go to meet him.

"Master Hao, Master Hao, don't you know what my Mi's Inn is like? There's really nothing to check. You and your brothers should have a cup of tea."

Mi Haichuan handed over a piece of silver calmly.

But Lian Hao didn't even look at it, just said lightly: "I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Mi, I have to offend you today."

He walked in.

Mi Haichuan didn't understand what he meant, and knew that it was too little. He complained in his heart and could only bear the pain and take out another piece of silver.

"Master Hao, please give me a way out."

Lian Hao took it calmly, weighed it, and then showed a satisfied smile.

"Manager Mi is a sensible man. I know you won't cause trouble after so many years of friendship. But this time is unusual. Master Yang personally told us to be prepared, so you'd better be careful these days, especially don't talk nonsense. Do you understand?"

Mi Haichuan nodded repeatedly, patting his chest to promise that he would never talk nonsense.

Only then did Lian Hao leave with his men in satisfaction.

Mi Haichuan sent him out the door until he could no longer see his figure, then he breathed a sigh of relief, and then secretly spat.

Pooh, a bully who relies on the power of others.

But he only dared to say these words twice in his heart, and 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's work is in vain!

Mi Haichuan turned and went into the house with both distress and helplessness. He wanted to tell the guest who just came today to be careful these days.

But he didn't expect that there was no trace of Zhao Ya in the hall.

The waiter said: "The guest just now said that he was too tired these days, so he went back to the guest room to rest."

Mi Haichuan didn't doubt him. After sighing, he turned around and went to do his own thing.

At the same time, in the guest room on the second floor, Zhao Ya was sitting cross-legged in meditation, waiting for the arrival of darkness.

He was very glad that he came to Nandian Town twice, because only in this way could he more intuitively experience the difference 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.

For example, this Lian Hao.

Zhao Ya remembered very clearly that at that time in that house, Lian Hao didn't even have the qualifications to stand in front of the crowd, and he stood behind the crowd all the time.

And he had a simple and honest smile on his face throughout the whole process, which was completely different from the arrogance in the Mi Family Inn just now.

Especially when these people mentioned Yang Bin, they always called him "Master", which revealed 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 would not notice it.

Even if there are really inexperienced disciples who will be deceived, those old Jianghu can almost see the tricks.

And I can find so many clues with just a little investigation, there is no reason why others can't do it.

This can only prove one thing, that is, those people sent here were either bribed by Yang Bin or the forces behind him, or they noticed the danger here and deliberately chose to ignore it.

But the more so, the more interested Zhao Ya is.

Because he came here to cause trouble, Shen Yunshen told him at Canglong Temple that he didn't need to worry about the risk this time, just go ahead and investigate boldly, and he and the elders would take care of it if anything went wrong.

With this promise, Zhao Ya certainly wouldn't be afraid.

In the afternoon, the snow didn't stop but got heavier.

Because of the bad weather, it was completely dark before dinner time.

Listening to the whistling wind outside the window, Zhao Ya slowly stood up, adjusted his qi and blood, adjusted his state to the best, and then dived into the sea of ​​wind and snow like a fish.

Sorry, the update is late
