"It is said that the scene was so tragic that some people were so frightened when they saw the corpses all over the Jinfeng Village that they lost their souls. Some people even peed their pants and ran back crawling..."
The shopkeeper described the scene vividly, as if he had been there in person.
"Oh, there is such a thing? Hundreds of people in a village died, and no one reported it to the government?"
Chen Xuan deliberately pretended to know nothing and looked very surprised.
"Report to the authorities? What a joke! The officials would like them all to die. The authorities will not take care of this matter."
Next, the shopkeeper chatted with Chen Xuan about all sorts of things.
After all, he had accepted half a tael of gold from Chen Xuan, and he was afraid that Chen Xuan would take it back, so his main focus now was to provide emotional value.
"Boss, I need a map of Bandit Mountain. It would be best if all the bandit lairs and hilltops were marked. Can you get it for me?"
Chen Xuan didn't have time to listen to this old man playing the piano here, he had serious things to do.
"That's easy, sir. Many people who enter Bandit Mountain will buy maps to try to avoid other bandits here. A map is not cheap, but I have a connection with you, sir, so I'll give you one for free."
The shopkeeper spoke with a smile, opened the drawer under the counter, took out a parchment-like drawing and gently handed it to Chen Xuan.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round.
Chen Xuan didn't waste any words, took the map and looked at it carefully.
Finally, he saw the three words "Liufeng Village" at a glance.
This is also a bandit's den. According to the markings on the map, it is very close to Jinfeng Village, less than ten miles away.
"Boss, give me a horse."
Chen Xuan took out a tael of gold and silver and threw it to the shopkeeper again.
The shopkeeper was immediately delighted.
I really made a fortune today. I met the stupid son of a landlord and paid him with gold. It was like spending money like water!
Once the money is in place, the quality of service will naturally be in place.
Soon, the shopkeeper asked the waiter to bring a tall and handsome horse. Of course, the horse was rented to Chen Xuanqi and had to be returned.
If you don't want to pay it back, you have to pay an additional fifty taels of gold.
The price of a horse is roughly in this range.
The shopkeeper was not worried that Chen Xuan would run away on horseback, after all, the women he brought were still in the inn.
"If the girls I brought with me wake up, tell them that I am out doing something and will be back soon. Ask them to wait for me at the inn."
After climbing onto the horse, Chen Xuan gave instructions to the shopkeeper.
