The bolts of satin noodles that Xu Zizhen asked for today are worth more than 1000 taels of silver in total. If you pay ten fines, that means more than 1 taels. The fat on the shopkeeper’s cheeks trembled. , The dozens of knives shrank him back in fright, and finally obediently asked someone to take out the silver and pay it to Xu Zizhen.

Several clerks carried two large boxes full of snowflake silver to the door, and were about to put them on Xu Zizhen's car, but unexpectedly, a person jumped out of the car curtain, startling the clerks suddenly, and just about to put them in Xu Zizhen's car. When I asked, I saw that the man was holding a few pieces of fabric in his hands, and the packaging seemed to be from Taiji.

The person who jumped out of the car was none other than Liu Fengsui. He hid in the car and didn't show up because he had an appointment with Xu Zizhen. He came to the store with cloth in his arms and threw it in front of the shopkeeper Tai , sneered and said: "Shopkeeper, let's pay for these horses as well."

Shopkeeper Tai didn't understand at first, why Xu Zizhen brought so many people to slander him, but when he saw Liu Fengsui, he suddenly realized that Liu Fengsui bought a few bolts of satin from his shop in the afternoon. I also watched him speak with a foreign accent, and secretly changed his hands and feet into moldy cloth. I didn't expect that this change would attract a large swarm of wasps.

A good man does not suffer from immediate losses. Although the treasurer Tai is bleeding from distress, there are five hundred sharp knives outside the door, which cannot allow him to pay. Soon, two boxes of snowflake silver were carried out and put in together with the previous silver. into Xu Zizhen's car.

Shopkeeper Tai's face was as pale as a mourning concubine, and he begged bitterly: "Master Dutong, the little one knows his mistake, please let the little one go!"

Xu Zizhen waved his hand: "Okay, since you are straightforward, I will be cheerful too. Of course, you have lost some money today, and I will find a way to subsidize you later... Let's do this, from now on, the battle uniforms of my group of brothers will be in You ordered it here, and it counts as signing a long-term contract for you.”

Shopkeeper Tai almost spit out a mouthful of blood, long-term contract?Subsidize me?If it is really an official document saying that the work of taking the battle suits to the store, it can really make some money, but this Lord Dutong has made it clear that he has not planned to let him go, and the battle suits of hundreds of people outside the door will also be sold out. Whether it's good long johns, it's not bad if you can pay enough cost price. Doesn't this make you sign a long-term loss-making contract?

Without waiting for him to refuse, Xu Zizhen strode out of the store, beckoned to four soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, and gave a few instructions in a low voice.

Not long after, the four came back quickly with a man and a woman in their arms. It was the restaurant shopkeeper and the noodle shop proprietress who had supported the shopkeeper just now. They were obviously terrified. His feet went limp and he sat down on the ground, trembling all over, unable to even speak.

Xu Zizhen had five hundred Shenjiying by his side, completely gaining the upper hand, he didn't talk too much, and asked the restaurant manager to bring his chef to the barracks to cook for Shenjiying, three meals a day. Nutrition must be balanced. When these guys get tired of his dishes, they can come back and open a restaurant again.

As for the proprietress of the noodle shop, Xu Zizhen's words were even simpler: "You sell beef noodles, right? From tomorrow onwards, give me fifty ox tails every day, and if there is one less, I will ask you to settle the score!"

Surrounded by hundreds of knives, the two had no choice but to agree even if they didn't want to agree. The matter was basically considered complete at this point, and Xu Zizhen didn't stay any longer. common people.

On the way back, Shui Liuli couldn't hold back any longer, and asked: "It's all right if you knock some money, why did you call the restaurant manager here? Also, what's the use of your oxtail?"

Xu Zizhen chuckled: "You don't understand, I'm doing this for the benefit of the Shenji camp. We look at the prestige, but we are actually a non-staff squad. We can only eat with other people in the military camp, but our training intensity is not theirs at all. It’s comparable, but it’s not appropriate to hire a few gang leaders specially for 500 people, so let the restaurant owner do some daily coolies.”

"As for the oxtail... Hehe!" Xu Zizhen smirked, "You probably don't know the benefits of this thing, but you must know that the effect of oxtail stew is not worse than that of bullwhip. When the time comes, drink it one by one to make a big tonic and a special tonic." Yes, tsk tsk... that's right, and oxtail is not worth much in this northwest region."

Shui Liuli blushed immediately, and spat: "You let them make up too much, so how can you deal with it? Lanzhou City doesn't have so many brothels."

Xu Zizhen said solemnly: "Don't slander me, this group of boys will never have excess energy under my training, what kind of brothel is not a brothel, I didn't expect your thoughts to be really dirty..."

Seeing that Shui Liuli was showing signs of losing his temper from embarrassment, Xu Zizhen quickly changed the subject: "I haven't had time to ask you, where have you been these few days? You can't even take care of the Xixia Army when they call."

Shui Liuli gave him a hard look, and finally didn't pursue what happened just now, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's not for helping you."

Xu Zizhen wondered, "Help me for what?"

Shui Liuli said: "Go and help you find Sanjuetang's whereabouts."

Xu Zizhen immediately jumped up when he heard the words, but he forgot that he was in the carriage, and immediately hit the roof of the car with a loud bang, almost smashing his head into the carriage.

"Ouch... did you find it?"

Shui Liuli said angrily and amusedly: "You just stand and listen, lest you bump into it again... The main hall has never been found, but I have found the place of the art."

Hearing the word Gongshu, Xu Zizhen immediately thought of the majestic fireball car outside Jincheng Pass, and the oil that surprised him.

"Where is where?"

"In..." Shui Liuli saw him anxiously, and felt funny in his heart. Just about to whet his appetite, he saw a large group of people rushing past the Yamen of Lanzhou prefect who was about to arrive. All right, I immediately recognized that the leader was the shopkeeper of Taiji Cloth.

Xu Zizhen was taken aback: "How can this grandson run faster than us?"

Shui Liuli said: "They are all Lanzhou natives, so they are very familiar with the shortcuts in the city. Could it be that they came to the Yamen in such a hurry to sue you?"

Xu Zizhen curled his lips: "Whether he likes to sue...you don't want to talk about Gongshu, wait until I settle them." After saying that, he jumped out of the car and strode towards the government office before leaving. In the middle of it, he suddenly seemed to remember something, beckoned a yamen servant from a distance, and whispered something in his ear.

The shopkeeper Tai, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and the proprietress of the noodle shop all came, and brought a group of neighbors from Xiliang Street, quarreling at the gate of the yamen, demanding justice from the prefect Wen.

Xu Zizhen watched from a distance, and it didn't take long for the prefect Wen to call all the people in, and asked the yamen servant to light a candle as thick as a child's arm, lighting the courtroom as bright as day.

Prefect Wen has changed his official uniform and sat in the hall. Although it was already night, he was not angry at all, and he still had a kind smile on his face, and asked softly to everyone in the hall: "What wrong do you have to do?"

Xu Zizhen looked amused outside the hall, these grandsons must have suffered a lot today, looking for the father-in-law to sue the son-in-law, are they looking for death?
