The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 105 Eliminate Bullies

The old man looked Murong Yunyao up and down, and said slowly: "You are a girl with bare hands, how can you help me?" After finishing speaking, he shook his head and stopped talking.

Murong Yunyao raised her hand and slapped the counter in front of the old man, the originally thick counter broke into two pieces instantly, and then shouted loudly: "What's the matter with the girl's house, haven't you heard that women don't give up their eyebrows!"

Seeing this, the two diners hurried out of the shop, and the old man broke out in a cold sweat. He pondered for a moment, and then said: "You two don't look like bad guys. Since the girl must ask, please go upstairs to the private room to explain." .” He said and made a gesture of invitation towards the stairs.Wan Jianfeng didn't want to go upstairs, but was forced up by Murong Yunyao, and entered the private room helplessly.

The two walked into the private room and sat down around a table, while the old man stood vigilantly by the railing at the door and looked around the shop, then quickly closed the door.Murong Yunyao asked in confusion: "Old man, what are you looking at?"

The old man sat across from the two of them and said in a low voice: "Little old man, let's see if Mr. Yuan has sent someone to check the store. If they run into him, something bad will happen!"

Murong Yunyao asked: "Young Master Yuan? Is this person a senior member of the court? How come this girl has never heard of it. Haven't even heard of him in the world?"

The old man said: "This Mr. Yuan is neither a high official in the court, nor a master of the rivers and lakes. He was a helpless orphan. No one knew who his parents were. Back then, his surname was not Yuan at all, but The surname is Wang."

After hearing the old man's words, Murong Yunyao became more and more confused, "Old man, what is going on, why does this girl become more and more confused the more I listen to it?"

The old man sighed, "If you really want to know, the little old man has to start talking about it 20 years ago." He paused for a while, and then said leisurely: "At that time, the best wine shop in the city was called Qian Ri Zui. Not only is the output extremely high in the workshop, but the fine wine it produces is particularly fragrant and mellow, so restaurants all over the city will go to them to buy wine regularly. The shopkeeper of the wine shop is called Zhang Sheng, who is both the shopkeeper and a buddy. Later, I went to his place There were more and more people buying wine, and he was really too busy, so he decided to take a few apprentices. His craftsmanship was very good, and many apprentices came here especially for him, including Mr. Yuan, whose parents died early. Of course, at that time His surname is not Yuan, but Gou Xiaoer. Among these apprentices, Zhang Sheng likes Gou Xiaoer the most, but Zhang Sheng has always been cold-hearted and warm-hearted, the more he likes Gou Xiaoer, the more he wants to train him, so why? All the dirty work was handed over to him. Gou Xiaoer didn't say anything at first, but as time went on, he became dissatisfied with Zhang Sheng and wanted to take revenge. He took advantage of Zhang Sheng's unpreparedness to add water to the brewed wine , Wanting to ruin Zhang Sheng's reputation. Zhang Sheng reprimanded him a few words after he found out, but he would not only leave Qianri Zuijiufang, but also Mancheng in a fit of anger. "

Murong Yunyao said angrily: "This ignorant thing, he really came back? How did he get revenge on Zhang Sheng?"

The old man continued: "When Gou Xiaoer first left, Zhang Sheng often regretted that he should not be too strict with Gou Xiaoer. But after a long time, he gradually forgot about it. How could he think that after two or three years, this Gou Xiaoer Xiao Er really came back, he changed his name to Xiao Er, made a huge fortune from somewhere, and learned a good martial art. As soon as he came back, he led a group of people straight into Qianri Drunken Not only broke the legs of his master Zhang Sheng, but also forced Zhang Sheng to close the wine shop, and ordered him to get out of the city within three days. Zhang Sheng couldn't fight him, so he had to escape overnight with the help of his apprentices. Man Cheng, never dare to come back again. In this way, we restaurants can only go to other places to drink, but that Mr. Yuan seems to be deliberately trying to make things difficult for us shops, and even took people to other wine shops to make trouble. All the wine shops couldn’t help him, so they had to close their shops and leave the city. Our restaurants were also unlucky. We had nowhere to drink, so we had to go to a distant place to buy wine. The cost of buying wine was not enough to pay for the transportation, so we had no choice but to take it back We sold it mixed with water, but fortunately, the old customers in the city still understand us, and it didn’t cause any disputes.”

Wan Jianfeng nodded when he heard the words, and stretched out his hand towards the old man, "Old man, since this is the case, then I don't want to choose the young hero, just sell me some wine mixed with water."

The old man smiled wryly, "Young man, don't be impatient, wait until the little old man has finished speaking."

Wan Jianfeng nodded slightly, and said: "Then you can continue to talk, I want to hear what inhuman things this Mr. Yuan can do?"

The old man was a little tired, he took a break and continued: "We all thought that Mr. Yuan was only angry for a while, and he will be fine in a few days, but he got worse. At first, he just didn't let the people in the city make wine, and later he didn't allow the people in the city to go out to buy wine. Wine, even the river water by the city and the well water in the city are not allowed to be taken casually. He sent his men to stand by the water day and night. If anyone wants to drink water, they must give them copper coins. , We people don’t say anything, but we have to give them five copper coins for every bucket of water we fetch. Drinking water is not like drinking wine or tea. But it can kill people! The people in the city jointly went to the yamen to file a lawsuit several times. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yuan had all the people in the yamen with his hands and eyes. In the county government, many people were arrested by the government because of this..."

After hearing the old man's words, Murong Yunyao felt an unexplainable anger in her heart. She slapped the table in front of her with a jade hand, and the solid wooden table suddenly collapsed. He, I will take his last name!"

Wan Jianfeng stroked Murong Yunyao's back lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, don't be angry! You are so hot-tempered, be careful not to kill that surnamed Yuan, and get yourself mad first."

Murong Yunyao didn't know if she was too angry or acquiesced, but she didn't push Wan Jianfeng's hand away, she just asked the old man, "Old man, where does Mr. Yuan live now? This girl went to take his dog's life tonight." !"

The old man hurriedly waved his hands, "Girl, it's not that the little old man looks down on you, you are not Mr. Yuan's opponent. They have a lot of people, if you go to kill him rashly, be careful not to kill them, but ask them to kill you instead. The little old man advises you not to die."
