Chapter 143 Chapter 143: Don't Blame Her for Being Cruel
"Also, old Shen, think about it, if someone is burned to death, will you have to pay for it? If there are too many people who die, I'm afraid that people in those few villages will eat her. Let's see how that stinky woman can still be so majestic? It would be even better if Xie Lao Ba was also killed, and we will see if the Xie family will spare her?"

Hearing Master Zhuang's words, Master Shen couldn't help but feel a shudder, this is human life, how could he say it so lightly?

My family just wanted to make a name for themselves, I really never thought about risking human life.

Master Shen's expression, what is there that Master Zhuang doesn't understand?At this point, he is still hesitating, so he can't help it. After getting on the boat, he still wants to get off the boat. How can there be such a cheap thing?

"Old Shen, you and I are both grasshoppers tied to a rope, what do you mean today, please express your opinion?" Master Zhuang urged.

Seeing this, Mr. Shen felt so regretful that his guts were turning green. He had already talked about the plan, so how could he say he disagreed?That person will silence his mouth first.

After trying to understand the serious relationship, he forced a smile, "Old Zhuang, where are you going? I didn't disagree, but I was thinking about how much gunpowder to buy, so I was distracted." .”

Master Zhuang laughed loudly when he heard the words, he grabbed Master Shen's shoulders and said, "I just said that you are not so timid, old Shen, come on, come on, I misunderstood, I will punish myself with a drink." After speaking, he picked up the wine glass Just drink it in one gulp.

Master Shen picked up his wine glass with an ugly face, and he was also depressed. Now he can only pray that this matter is kept secret enough, otherwise he is afraid that he will be killed by the person in front of him.

Shopkeeper Chen, who accompanied the last seat, also took Shopkeeper Shen to drink. Shopkeeper Shen is in the same mood as his uncle at the moment. If you cheat others, you should cheat yourself first. Didn't you see his uncle?
Facing Shopkeeper Shen, he could only try his best to deal with it with a smile. Even his uncle couldn't escape, and he couldn't escape even more. If he dared to act rashly, I'm afraid that Master Zhuang and Shopkeeper Chen would just snap him off. A ruthless person can definitely do it.

The four people on the same boat immediately discussed how to buy gunpowder in batches without anyone noticing. Of course, Master Shen and shopkeeper Shen's uncle and nephew were completely tied into this carriage.

It's just that there is no impenetrable wall in this world. Those five people thought they were doing it secretly, but they were still discovered by those who had been eyeing them for a long time.

So that night, the door of the other courtyard was knocked.

Chang Xi was about to take a rest, when Hu Niu came in and said, "Miss Chang, Manager Jin has something urgent to see."

It's so late, what is Guan Jin doing here?

I'm afraid she came here for something, so Chang Xi thought about it for a moment, got up and put on her coat, brushed her hair, put on her shoes and went out.

Manager Jin paced back and forth, saw Chang Xi coming out, hurried over to meet Li, and said, "Ms. Chang, some villagers came outside, and they said they had to report something urgent, so I didn't let them in at first. It's too late, come back tomorrow, they said that they must report tonight, if I miss it, I may regret something, so I have to come here and ask for instructions, what should I do?"

It was inappropriate to see the female relatives so late, but seeing those people talking in a hurry, he was really afraid that something might happen and he couldn't take care of it.

Xie Baye and Chang's stall was too big, and there were many connections involved, so he didn't dare to act hastily.

"Then go and meet." Chang Xi said bluntly, she also wanted to hear what these people wanted to say, "By the way, Manager Jin, go to the backyard and invite Xie Jiuye over."

Upon hearing this, Guanshi patted himself on the head, "See, I'm so busy that I forgot to report to Master Jiu, I'll go right away."

He was so busy trying to curry favor with Chang's family that he forgot about the rightful owner, he really deserved to die, thanks to Chang's reminder, otherwise he would end up in charge of this other courtyard.

Seeing Guanshi Jin running away, Chang Xi immediately shook her head, and hurried out with Xiaotao and Huniu.

The few men were all standing in the courtyard cramped, and Manager Jin asked them to wait here, so they waited here obediently, not daring to act wild in this place at all.

When Chang Xi rushed over, she happened to bump into Xie Jin, and she immediately had doubts in her eyes. It stands to reason that Xie Jin must be behind her.

Xie Jin looked at her expression, guessed what she was thinking, and said, "I came here as soon as I heard the news."

It was only then that Chang Xi suddenly realized that the person who spread the news must not be Guanshi Jin, but the real man Xie Jin had placed in this other courtyard, and Guanshi Jin was just a cover for the public.

"Then let's go together." Chang Xi didn't twitch on this issue, but walked side by side with Xie Jin generously.

The two appeared together on the steps in front of the courtyard. When the men saw the appearance of the two, they immediately stepped forward to salute.

After returning the gift, Chang Xi said, "It's so late, what's the hurry for these strong men?"

Seeing how polite Chang Xi was, one of them felt a little more confident about what he asked for tonight, "Miss Chang, we didn't sign the employment confidentiality contract because we misbelieved the rumors spread by others. Now, can you...give us a chance?"

"That's right, Mrs. Chang, just give us a chance to change our ways." The rest of the people couldn't help begging.

These days, they are often scolded by their family members and laughed at by the villagers. They have had enough of these days, especially when they see their own meals with clear soup and little water, they miss the two taels of meat for every meal on the construction site.

It turned out that it was because of this, and Chang Xi didn't say anything dead, "It depends on what merits you can make? As long as the credits are enough, everything is easy to talk about."

If her tea brick workshop wants to take root here, it must establish a good relationship with the local people. This is necessary. Only with them as a barrier can it resist outside intruders.

Hearing Chang Xi's words, the eyes of the men lit up. They looked at each other and quickly made up their minds. It was the one who spoke first before saying, "Miss Chang, look at this." While taking out something wrapped in wide leaves from his bosom.

Xiaotao hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and when she opened it, she smelled a strong smell of gunpowder, she immediately frowned, but it was not dangerous, she immediately turned around and presented it in front of Chang Xi.

Chang Xi naturally smelled the smell of gunpowder, picked it up with his hand, and put it to his nose. The smell of gunpowder became stronger, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was already serious.

Xie Jin also smelled it like Chang Xi, and immediately looked seriously at the man who spoke first, "Where did you come from?"

The man who spoke first didn't know Xie Jin, but the aura of the superior was very strong and imposing, he hurriedly bent down and said respectfully, "Someone was transported by water, and then there was an internal response to carry them. We have been following them for a long time. After discovering that this was not in the right direction, I quietly picked up some of the things they were carrying, and felt something was wrong as soon as I smelled it, so I didn't dare to delay, so I hurried over to report."

The smell of fireworks and firecrackers is unmistakable to them. The village will buy a few strings to drive away evil spirits during the Chinese New Year, but there are always children who have accidents because of their fun picking up those firecrackers that do not sound. Some of them died because of it. Quite a few, so they know how powerful this thing is.

"Looking at how many times they carried it back and forth, it must be quite a lot." One of them hurriedly added.

"Yes, yes, this amount must be used to do bad things." Finally, he came to a conclusion.

Listening to these chattering words, both Chang Xi and Xie Jin understood that this was not a small matter, even if they brought a large amount of gunpowder, it would be a big deal.

"Go and keep an eye on them first, don't startle them, and you will definitely be given a chance to come back to work afterwards."

When the strong men heard Chang Xi's words, they immediately became excited, expressing that they would definitely do a good job.

Chang Xi asked Xiaotao and Huniu to send them out, and then said to Xie Jin, "Leave Xie Jiuye alone, I have my own opinion."

Xie Jin turned his head and looked at her stern expression, knowing that she was angry at the moment, so he didn't ask her how to solve it. He was still very confident in her ability to handle affairs, "I still say that, if If you need it, you can come to me."

Gunpowder is not a small matter, no matter what, he will always pay attention to it.

Chang Xi knew that he had given her the initiative and trusted her, otherwise he would have dealt with it immediately based on the large amount of gunpowder that appeared.

After thanking him, she hurried back with the two returning maids.

Xie Jiuye stood at the same place and watched her going back, no one knew what he was thinking, until her back disappeared, he turned and left.

Guanshi Jin, who was hiding in the dark and watched, dared to show up when he saw that these two people had left. The expressions of these two people were too scary before, how dare he come out and twirl the tiger's whiskers?
As soon as Chang Xi went back, she just sat there and meditated. In fact, she had always known the people who were committed to making troubles. After all, the four major shopkeepers kept sending her news about other tea merchants, and among them, those two danced the most.

Master Zhuang of Juya Tea House and Master Shen of Mingxiang Tea House, among them, Master Zhuang is the most prominent.

Thinking of this, she snorted coldly, she doesn't believe that the gunpowder matter has nothing to do with these two families?
Then don't blame her for shooting the first bird.

Originally, Xie Ming had already dug the hole. Compared with the hole she dug, the hole the two families dug for themselves was bigger and deeper, so don’t blame her for kicking the two families into the hole. Don't blame her for being cruel and merciless when you come out, she is just dealing with others in her own way.

The next day, she called Xie Ming to discuss the countermeasures again.

As soon as Xie Ming heard the word gunpowder, he broke out in a cold sweat, which was the rhythm of wanting to blow him up to death. Thinking of this, he suddenly became furious, "Chang Niangzi, just do as you said, I will go now!" Make arrangements."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly left.

Chang Xi immediately wrote a letter to Qin, saying that she would have to stay in another hospital for a longer period of time when she was ill, and asked her to forgive Yun Yun.

After Hu Niu was asked to deliver the letter, she began to pretend to be sick and not to go out.
