Chapter 1246
Zhang Shi said very sincerely, but Xiao Dong heard the overtone in his words, and thought to himself: "Fuck, what do you say, 'Don't say that Lord Xiao is not scolding, even if Lord Xiao scolds him, he will never complain about his lordship', showing that he is not convinced, do you really think I can't hear it?"
It's just that although Xiao Dong thinks this in his heart, he also knows that he must not turn his face against Zhang Shi at this time. Since Zhang Shi has already shown weakness, he just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey. Thinking of this, Xiao Dong said: "Zhang Yuan's words are serious. I have absolutely no guilt about Zhang Yuanwai, as long as we work together, why worry about big things?!"
The two of them exchanged a few more polite words, but although they were polite on the lips, they were secretly wary in their hearts. Xiao Dong said: "Zhang Yuanwai, shopkeepers, we have been delayed for more than 20 days, if we don't repair the mast, I'm afraid we have to miss a big thing." How this matter is over, Xiao wants to hear your opinions. ”
Shopkeeper Ji turned his head to Qin Lao Wu and said, "Boat family, in this Dongliao County, except for Wei Erbao's carpenter shop, is there no other carpenter master?"
Qin Lao Wu said with a gloomy face: "This is the fault of the matter! I pounced on Wei Erbao's carpenter shop, so I thought about trying my luck in other carpenter shops. I gave the old man a few dollars and a few pieces of silver, and asked him to take us to other shops. Unexpectedly, I went to three shops in a row, but all of them were empty, and I didn't know where the shopkeeper and the man were. I'll ask the old man to help us find a carpenter to repair the mast. The old man worked in the carpenter's shop, and he knew most of the carpenters in Dongliao County. But I went to several houses one after another, and all of these carpenters were gone, and I don't know where they went. In desperation, we had to carry the wood back again. ”
After everyone heard Qin Lao Wu finish speaking, their faces changed greatly. Li Qiufeng secretly thought in his heart that if Wei Erbao was detained by Wang Jiazhuang alone, there would be nothing unusual about it. However, the shopkeepers of many carpenter's shops and the carpenters who worked alone have all disappeared, and how can there be such a coincidence in the world? But we drifted here after encountering wind and waves at sea, how could there be such a person in the world who could pinch and calculate, knowing in advance that we would drift to such a border place as Dongliao County and hide all the carpenters in the city?
When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard the shopkeeper Hu say in a trembling voice: "Is there someone who deliberately embarrasses us and doesn't want us to leave Dongliao County?"
Zhang Shi and others also had the same thoughts as the shopkeeper Hu, and when they heard what the shopkeeper Hu said, they panicked. Xiao Dong sneered: "It's only been two days and two nights for us to drift here. How can there be such a powerful person in the world, first calculate that we can encounter strong winds and waves at sea, and then know that we drift to Liaodong, and also know that we have to find wood to repair the mast. If there is such a person who is capable of doing this, he will only have to rush into the boat and kill us all, and why bother to make things difficult with the shopkeepers and men of the carpenter's shop? ”
Li Qiufeng heard Xiao Dong say this, and knew that he had the same mind as himself. Zhang Shi and the others thought about it, and they didn't know what to do for a while, and they all showed embarrassment on their faces. Xiao Dong continued: "Right now, we know that Wei Erbao is being detained in Wangjiazhuang, as long as we find him, things will be much easier." ”
When he said this, he paused slightly, turned his head to Li Qiufeng and said, "Since Zhang Yuanwai and the shopkeepers don't want to make a big deal and want to let go of Wangjiazhuang, Xiao has another way." Brother Zhu has an old relationship with that Mu Rong girl, and it just so happens that Mu Rong girl has a good relationship with the eldest lady of Wangjiazhuang. If Brother Zhu comes forward and asks Miss Mu Rong to persuade Miss Wang to hand over Wei Erbao to us, maybe we don't have to make a big deal to end this matter. ”
Li Qiufeng was stunned when he heard Xiao Dong say this. He was not afraid of Wangjiazhuang, but he promised Murong Qiushui that he would not step into the county seat of Dongliao again. Stealing up Skyscraper Ridge last night has already broken its promise. What's more, Murong Danyan is in Wangjiazhuang right now, if he goes to the village to ask Murong Danyan to do something, and Murong Qiushui knows about it, he is afraid that he will despise himself even more. Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng was embarrassed, and did not answer under the deep groan.
When Shopkeeper Hu heard Xiao Dong say this, his eyes lit up, and he said to Li Qiufeng: "Lord Xiao is right. I also hope that Zhu Gongzi will be reluctant to make it difficult, go to Wangjiazhuang, and bring Wei Erbao back to repair the mast for us. ”
Shopkeeper Ji and others also echoed their words, and everyone's eyes showed eager eyes. Li Qiufeng was embarrassed, and he groaned and did not answer. When Xiao Dong saw him like this, he thought to himself, you and the girl surnamed Mu are not clear, and at this time he pretended to be indecidable. That girl runs an oil mill at home, and she must have a huge amount of money. I thought I had already decided on my in-laws, and I just waited to pass through the door. Most of you, this kid, wanted to steal the property of the Mu family, so he hooked up with a girl surnamed Mu. Maybe the Mu family sensed that something was wrong and wanted to settle accounts with you, so you fled from Henan. The girl surnamed Mu was in love with adultery, and she left the Mu family to find an adulterer. God doesn't have long eyes, let you two adulterers** meet here! You are so pretentious, nine times out of ten, you are afraid that we will know about the ugly thing. Hmph, if you have the handle in my hands, things will be much easier.
Xiao Dong had an idea in his heart, so he immediately said to Li Qiufeng: "Zhu Gongzi, although Xiao is not a high-ranking official, but in the capital, he often has some dealings with the six yamen. Lord Yao, the governor of Henan, also has some friendship with Xiao, and in front of Lord Yao, Xiao can still say a few words. Zhu Gongzi and Miss Mu, if someone is in the way, Xiao can help Zhu Gongzi. As long as Zhu Gongzi helps us do this, everything can be discussed. ”
Li Qiufeng heard Xiao Dong speak like this, knowing that he would be wrong, and secretly thought in his heart that the surname Xiao was bent on going to Fusang, and he was already mad at this time. If I don't go to Wangjiazhuang, I don't know what kind of vicious plan he will come up with to deal with Miss Wang. This person is ruthless, if he is desperate, not only will Miss Wang be killed by him, but I am afraid that Miss Murong will also be injured in his hands. The matter is urgent, and I went to Wangjiazhuang once, and it is not a breach of promise.
Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng said: "Since Lord Xiao and the shopkeepers want to go to Wangjiazhuang for a while, they will obey the orders below." However, Miss Mu is only a guest of Wangjiazhuang, not the person in charge, whether she can help or not, I dare not pack the ticket. ”
Shopkeeper Hu and the others were relieved when they saw Li Qiufeng agree. Xiao Dong said with a smile: "I see that Miss Wang relies on Miss Mu Rong very much, as long as Miss Mu Rong speaks, Miss Wang has no reason to refuse such a trivial matter." ”
Li Qiufeng knew that everyone had ghosts, and they were all looking forward to coming forward to rescue Wei Erbao, so he coped with a few words. Xiao Dong said: "Without further ado, please ask Zhu Gongzi to go to Wangjiazhuang immediately and bring Wei Erbao back." ”
When he said this, he paused for a moment before he continued: "But since we are going to ask someone to do something, we can't do it with our empty hands. Shopkeeper Luo, I remember that you brought a box of Ganoderma lucidum and wanted to sell it in Fusang. This Ganoderma lucidum has a miraculous effect on beauty, and the girl will definitely like it. It's better to let Zhu Gongzi take it to Miss Wang, it can be regarded as a gift from us. Miss Wang was overjoyed to have such a treasure. Miss Mu Rong took the opportunity to say a few good words, and she would definitely be able to hand over Wei Erbao to Zhu Gongzi to bring back. ”
Shopkeeper Luo spent a lot of money to buy this box of Ganoderma lucidum, and he planned to bring it to Fusang to earn ten times the return. Originally, he hid the Ganoderma lucidum very tightly and kept it a secret. It's just that after drinking the wine brought on the boat by Shopkeeper Ji that night, on a whim, he actually took out the Ganoderma lucidum and made a show off in front of everyone, but he didn't want to be remembered by Xiao Dong. Shopkeeper Luo regretted it in his heart, and scolded the eighteenth generation of Xiao Dong's ancestors.
Xiao Dong saw that Shopkeeper Luo's face was ugly and silent, knowing that he was reluctant to give up the Lingzhi, he sneered: "Shopkeeper Luo, if Xiao is not mistaken, in order to get together this batch of goods, you spent a total of 47,000 taels of silver. Among them, 19,000 taels of silver were borrowed from seven large households in Huzhou, and you said that you would make two or seven points of profit, and Cai Shilang of Zhishi was the guarantor. Shopkeeper Luo, if we delay it any longer, this transaction will be yellow, and the capital of nineteen thousand taels of silver, plus two or seven points of profit, will kill your whole family. If you don't pay it back, how can you explain to Cai Shilang? The seven wives and concubines, two sons and four daughters in the Luo shopkeeper's family, I am afraid that they will become slaves of others. Shopkeeper Luo, is Ganoderma lucidum important, or is your net worth and life important? You can calculate it clearly. ”
