A knife in love

Chapter 1246

Zhang Shi spoke very sincerely, but Xiao Dong heard the implication of his words, and thought to himself: "Fuck, what are you talking about?" There is absolutely no intention of blaming the lord', you have made it clear that you are dissatisfied, do you really think I can't hear it?"

It's just that even though Xiao Dong had this thought in his heart, he also knew that at this time he must not turn against Zhang Shi.Now that Zhang Shi has shown weakness, he just took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey.Thinking of this, Xiao Dong said: "Zhang Yuanwai's words are serious. I have absolutely no grievances against Zhang Yuanwai. As long as we are united, why not worry about big things?!"

The two of them said a few more polite words, but although they were polite on the lips, they were secretly wary in their hearts.Xiao Dong said: "Mr. Zhang, shopkeepers, we have been delayed for more than [-] days. If we don't repair the mast, I'm afraid we will miss a major event. How to settle this matter, Xiao wants to hear your opinions."

Shopkeeper Ji turned to Qin Laowu and said, "Boatman, besides Wei Erbao's carpenter's shop in Dongliao County, are there no other master carpenters?"

Qin Lao Wu said with a gloomy face: "This is where the strange thing is! I wasted no time in Wei Erbao's carpenter's shop, so I thought about trying my luck at other carpenter's shops. So I gave the old man at the gate some money. Broken silver, I asked him to take us to find other shops. Unexpectedly, I went to three shops, but they were all empty. I don’t know where the shopkeeper and the clerk are. I want the old man to help us find a carpenter to repair the mast. The old man was working at the carpenter's shop, and he knew most of the carpenters in Dongliao County. But after going to several houses in succession, none of the carpenters were there, and we didn't know where they went. In desperation, we had to carry the wood back .”

After listening to Qin Laowu's words, everyone's expressions changed drastically.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, if Wei Erbao was detained by Wangjiazhuang alone, it would be nothing unusual.But the shopkeepers of many carpentry shops and the carpenter working alone have all disappeared. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?I'm afraid that someone is playing tricks behind his back and making things difficult on purpose.But we drifted here after encountering wind and waves at sea, how can there be such a person in the world who can pinch and count, who knew in advance that we would drift to such a despicable place as Dongliao County, hiding all the carpenters in the city stand up?

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard shopkeeper Hu tremblingly saying: "Could it be that someone is deliberately embarrassing us and doesn't want us to leave Dongliao County?"

Zhang Shi and the others were also in the same mind as shopkeeper Hu. Hearing what shopkeeper Hu said, they immediately panicked.Xiao Dong sneered and said: "We have drifted here for only two days and two nights. How can there be such a powerful person in the world, who first calculates that we will encounter strong winds and waves at sea, and then knows that we drifted to Liaodong, and also knows that we are looking for Repairing masts with wood. If someone has such a skill, if he wants to embarrass us, he only needs to rush onto the ship and kill us all. Wouldn’t it be a one-and-done effort? Most of these things happened by chance, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Hearing what Xiao Dong said, Li Qiufeng knew that he had the same thoughts as himself.Zhang Shi and the others thought about it for the same reason. 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 detained in Wangjiazhuang, as long as we find him, things will be much easier."

When he said this, he paused for a while, then turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng: "Since Zhang Yuanwai and the storekeepers don't want to make a big deal and want to let Wang's house go, Xiao has another way. Brother Zhu and that Mu Miss Rong is old, but it happens that Miss Mu Rong has a lot of friendship with the eldest lady of Wangjiazhuang. If Brother Zhu came forward and asked Miss Mu Rong to persuade Miss Wang to hand over Wei Erbao to us, maybe the matter could be settled without any violence. "

Hearing what Xiao Dong said, Li Qiufeng was startled.He was not afraid of Wangjiazhuang, but he had promised Murong Qiushui not to set foot in Dongliao County again.Sneaking up to Motianling last night had already broken his promise.What's more, Murong Danyan is in Wang's manor right now, if he goes to the manor to ask Murong Danyan to do something, if Murong Qiushui finds out, he will despise him even more.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng was so embarrassed that he did not answer under deep thought.

Shopkeeper Hu heard Xiao Dong's words, his eyes lit up, and he said to Li Qiufeng: "Master Xiao is right. I hope that Mr. Zhu will reluctantly go to Wangjiazhuang for a while, and bring Wei Erbao back to us to repair the mast."

Shopkeeper Ji and others also echoed their words one after another, and everyone's eyes were eager.Li Qiufeng was in a dilemma, pondered and did not answer.Seeing his appearance, Xiao Dong thought to himself, you and that girl surnamed Mu are ambiguous, and now he pretended to be indecisive.That girl's family runs an oil shop, so she must have a huge family fortune.Presumably, the in-laws have been set early, and they are just waiting to pass the door.You kid probably wanted to seize the property of the Mu family, and that's why you hooked up with the girl surnamed Mu.Maybe the Mu family realized something was wrong and wanted to settle accounts with you, so you escaped from Henan.The girl surnamed Mu was so passionate about adultery that she even left Mu's house to find her adulterer.God has no eyes, let you adulterers meet here!You are so pretentious, nine out of ten are afraid that we will find out the scandal.Hmph, if you have the handle in my hands, things will be much easier to handle.

Xiao Dong had an idea in his mind, and he said to Li Qiufeng: "Young Master Zhu, although Xiao is not a high-ranking official, in the capital, he often dealt with the six yamen. Lord Yao, governor of Henan Province, also has some friendship with Xiao , in front of Mr. Yao, Xiao can still say a few words. If someone interferes with Mr. Zhu and Miss Mu, Xiao can help Mr. Zhu. As long as Mr. Zhu helps us to complete this matter, Everything is negotiable."

Hearing Xiao Dong's words, Li Qiufeng knew that he would be mistaken, and thought to himself that the person surnamed Xiao was determined to go to Fusang, and he was insane at this moment.If I don't go to Wangjiazhuang, I don't know what vicious strategy he will come up with to deal with Miss Wang.This man is cruel and ruthless, if he puts all his eggs in one basket, not only Miss Wang will be killed by him, but Miss Murong will also be hurt by him.In an emergency, I went to Wangjiazhuang, and it was not a breach of my promise.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng said: "Since Mr. Xiao and all the shopkeepers are going to visit Wangjiazhuang, I just obey orders. But Miss Mu is just a guest of Wangjiazhuang, not the person in charge, can she help? I'm busy, I dare not guarantee it."

Shopkeeper Hu and others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Li Qiufeng agreed.Xiao Dong said with a smile: "I see that Miss Wang is very dependent on Miss Mu Rong, as long as Miss Mu Rong speaks up, Miss Wang has no reason to refuse such trivial matters."

Li Qiufeng knew that everyone had their own ghosts, and they all hoped that he would come forward to rescue Wei Erbao, so he responded with a few words.Xiao Dongdao: "It's not too late, please go to Wangjiazhuang immediately, Mr. Zhu, to bring Wei Erbao back."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "But since we are going to ask for help, we must not empty our hands. Shopkeeper Luo, I remember that you brought a box of Ganoderma lucidum and wanted to sell it in Fusang. This Ganoderma lucidum It has miraculous beauty effects, and girls will definitely like it. Why don't you let Mrs. Zhu take it to Miss Wang, as a gift from us. Miss Wang is very happy to have such a treasure. Miss Mu Rong will take the opportunity to say a few good words , will definitely be able to hand over Wei Erbao to Mr. Zhu and bring it back."

Shopkeeper Luo spent a lot of money to buy this box of Ganoderma lucidum, intending to bring it to Fusang, and earn ten times the return.Originally, he hid the Ganoderma lucidum very tightly and kept it secret.It's just that after drinking the fine wine brought on board by shopkeeper Ji that night, on a whim, he actually took out the ganoderma lucidum and showed it off in front of everyone, but he didn't want Xiao Dong to miss it.Shopkeeper Luo regretted it in his heart, and scolded Xiao Dong's eighteenth generation ancestors all over the place.

Seeing Shopkeeper Luo's ugly face, Xiao Dong remained silent, knowing that he was not willing to give the Ganoderma lucidum, and sneered, "Treasurer Luo, if Xiao remembers correctly, you spent a total of 7000 yuan to get this batch together. Two taels of silver. Among them, 9000 taels of silver were borrowed by you from seven big households in Huzhou. You agreed on a 9000/[-] interest rate, and Cai Shilang, who has become an official, is the guarantor. Shopkeeper Luo, if we delay any longer, this transaction will be worthless. Well, the principal of [-] taels of silver, plus the interest of [-]/[-], can kill your whole family. If you bite the bullet and don't pay it back, how will you explain to Cai Shilang? The seven Ruhuas in Luo's family Wife and concubine, two sons and four daughters, I'm afraid they will become other people's slaves. Shopkeeper Luo, is Ganoderma lucidum important, or your wealth and life? You have to figure it out."
