I am Fugui

Chapter 104
The next day, the sky was bright and clear, and the wind was smooth.

Xu Fugui was wearing a pair of black trousers, an off-white jacket and a wide-brimmed straw hat on his head. He put a cloth bag on his shoulder and walked towards the county town with firewood on his shoulders.

Cloth bags are sewn from unwanted clothes and placed on the shoulders to prevent the shoulders from being worn out by heavy objects.

Both of them had great strength, and they basically didn't stop a few times during the journey of more than ten miles.

When we came to the county town, the guards at the gate of the city were still strict, but Xu Fugui often traveled to and from the county town, so he got acquainted with them well.

"Don't sell lo-mei? Are you selling firewood instead? How much can you sell for firewood? Hurry up and continue selling lo-mei, so that the brothers don't have any food to eat."

These soldiers said laughingly.

Xu Fugui responded casually, paid the entrance fee, and walked into the city with Laishun.

There are still no pedestrians on the street, and many shops on both sides are tightly closed. Occasionally, I meet a passerby, and his footsteps are also in a hurry. It seems that there are dirty things on the street, so I dare not stay too much.

"Shopkeeper, do you accept the firewood? What's the price?" Coming outside the firewood shop, Xu Fugui wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Collect and collect." The shopkeeper in a black silk gown hurried out. People are unwilling to go to the city these two days, and the peasants are not in the mood to cut firewood to sell in the city.

But every household in the city has to cook fire every day, and the stock in his firewood store can't be sold for a few days, so he is very worried at this time.

As soon as he came out, he looked up, his eyebrows twitched, "Hey, are you the young master of the Xu family?"

Xu Fugui shook his head, and pointed to the two bundles of firewood on the ground, "Whether you will accept this firewood, what is the price?"

The shopkeeper then lowered his head to check the two bundles of firewood, "Hey, the bundles are really neat, right? Water paulownia wood, good firewood, let's pay the usual price, fifty copper coins?"

Xu Fugui sneered, "Shopkeeper, do you think we look like idiots? In this world, how many dare to enter the city?"

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper nodded without any embarrassment on his face, "I was negligent, so sixty copper coins, isn't that a lot?"

"Well, I'd better go to other places, your heart is dark."

Xu Fugui made a gesture to leave, but the shopkeeper hurriedly pulled him back, "Okay, okay, let's go to the head office for seventy copper coins, if there are more, I will lose money."

Xu Fugui put down the firewood with a smile, "Okay, just seventy copper coins."

The shopkeeper asked them to carry the firewood to the backyard, and he went to fetch seven strings of copper coins, a string of twenty copper coins.

"When you come back next time, it's best to tell others that the price of firewood has risen, and you can make a fortune." Putting the money in their hands, the shopkeeper instructed.

Xu Fugui responded perfunctorily, gave him the seventy copper coins that belonged to Laishun, and wanted to go out as soon as he took a step.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper stopped him suddenly, and asked again: "You are the young master of the Xu family, right? I have met you before, and I will never forget it."

Xu Fugui chuckled, "I'm not the young master anymore, what's the matter? Is there any way for the shopkeeper to make a fortune, give me some pointers?"

The shopkeeper laughed at himself, "I was selling firewood as soon as I sold it, so I could have some idea of ​​getting rich, but you, why did you become like this, it's almost unrecognizable."

Xu Fugui waved his hand, "Let's go."

The shopkeeper shouted from behind: "Come back to me after you have chopped firewood, and I will give you another five copper coins."

Xu Fugui waved his hands without looking back, "Remember, next time."

"Brother, no matter where you go, people know you." Lai Shun carefully put the copper coins away and asked.

Xu Fugui shrugged, "Who made me a prodigal son so famous, let's go, first go and find out what's going on in the prison."

When he came to the prison, Xu Fugui didn't dare to get too close, and pretended to be passing by, looking at the gate and the positions of the sentries from the corner of his eye.

After all, Yunxi County is a small county, and the security measures are not as strict as they appear on TV, but the prison is still high-walled and iron-gated, and sentries are patrolling all the time.

There was a noodle restaurant diagonally across from the prison. Xu Fugui walked in with Laishun, ordered four taels of noodles each, and kept observing the situation in the prison from the corner of his eye, jotting down one by one in his mind.

It stands to reason that the defense information in the prison is the most important, but how can he, an ordinary person, know the situation in the prison, he can only do his best.

Soon, the noodles came out, and Laishun sucked the noodles heartlessly. Xu Fugui kicked him under the table, "Don't eat it so fast."

Lai Shun let out a sound, slowed down, and looked at it from the corner of his eye, but he didn't see anything tricky after looking at it for a while, so he just didn't bother thinking about it.

After eating the noodles, the situation outside the prison was basically clear. It was not as strict as he imagined, but he didn't know what was going on inside the prison.

"Brother, are we not going to observe anymore?" Lai Shun asked in a low voice after walking out of the noodle shop.

Xu Fugui shook his head, "Don't make it too obvious, let's go and buy the things brought by the villagers first."

Take out the recorded list, walk under the hot sun, and buy everything you need one by one.

When passing by the brothel, what the two liu liuqi said suddenly attracted him.

"Bah, motherfucker, the people above are nothing. I came out of the prison and didn't show anything at all."

"Hey, we're just little ones, we can't get in the eyes of the upper class, brother, I've wronged you."

Those two people cursed for a while, the other person seemed to have dropped something and turned back to the brothel to look for it, and the other green-skinned gangster who had just come out of the prison walked towards the alley clutching his crotch.

"Shh, shh~"

He was whistling, and just as he unbuttoned his trouser belt, two iron-like arms stretched out from behind, covering his mouth and nose, and dragging him to the depths of the alley.

"No, no"

He struggled subconsciously, but he felt like a newborn baby, with no strength left to resist.

Laishun covered his mouth and nose behind his back, Xu Fugui took the opportunity to pull off his clothes, covered his head, and greeted him with fists without hesitation.

Every time a punch landed, the unlucky green-skinned gangster let out a pained grunt, and twitched continuously in fright.

After punching five or six times, Xu Fugui looked behind him to make sure there was no one there, and asked hoarsely, "You just came out of the prison?"

The green-skinned gangster replied with a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, I don't know which boss I offended, can I save my life, I can do any job."

"Hmph, I'm asking you a few questions. It's a good one. We're all in peace. I'm not a good one."

"Don't hesitate to ask the boss, but the younger one will definitely tell you the truth." Before Xu Fugui finished speaking, the man immediately stammered back.

Next, Xu Fugui began to ask him about the situation in the prison. This man seemed to have nothing to hide, most of the questions were blurted out, and a few of them were recalled.

After getting all the answers he wanted, Xu Fugui gave Laishun a look, and Laishun raised his knee and bumped the Qingpi gangster's belly, and then the two ran away.
