Chapter 57
However, the reason why Mingxiang Building is more popular today than in the past is not because a certain lady is traveling.But the reason is also related to Taobaozhai on the opposite side.
The tea guests at the two tables near the window were looking at Taobaozhai's clerks who were wearing weird clothes and weird red noses as before, with smiling faces welcoming them, turning their heads together from time to time and muttering together.
"Brother Zheng, are you saying that the rumors are wrong?" One of the middle-aged men whispered to the friend next to him, "You see, this Taobao Zhai is no different from the old ones, and there are also many enemies of Xing Laosan. Could it be that someone picked it up?"
The friend surnamed Zheng who was asked was also full of doubts, but instead shook his head resolutely, "No, this Xing Laosan must have been picked up by the owner of Taobaozhai. You must know that he just came here during the day There was an incident in Taobaozhai, no one was seen at night, no one was alive or dead, and only a note was left saying that he went back to his hometown to visit his mother. As for the ruffian, those people said that they didn’t hear anything that night. Even if Xing Lao San has something urgent, he should inform his subordinates.”
"Then did he owe a debt, went out to hide from the creditor, and threw his subordinates here to take the blame?"
"Impossible, the only one who forced the creditor to death was Xing Lao San, but I never heard of anyone else he was afraid of. Didn't you know that behind his back he had a deep friendship with that Huang catcher in the yamen?"
"Really, what else is there?"
"Of course it's true. If not, how can I say that the world is going downhill?"
"Be careful, be careful. Let's drink tea and not talk about official affairs."
"Oh, I drank two jugs of old wine before I came out. I really made a mistake. Brother Zheng, don't blame me!"
The two were talking lively, but when they mentioned the court affairs, they immediately fell silent.But when it comes to gossip, it's a bit unbearable if you don't talk about it.So the two quickly paid for the tea, and then moved to a safer and more comfortable home to continue.
However, not long after the two left, a few more hooligans came in front of the Taobao Zhai gate. They were also open-chested and backless, with tattoos and tattoos, and they all looked fierce.
But the only difference is that these people are wearing green clothes, and they look more ruthless than ordinary ruffians.
Everyone in the teahouse had sharp eyes, so they couldn't help exclaiming, so everyone immediately flocked to the window to have a look.
A person who usually walks on the street saw the leader of the gangster, and hurriedly said to the people next to him, "Oh, this is Tong Bancheng's subordinate. I heard that he took over Xing Laosan's territory yesterday. Now, what are you here for today? Are you planning to eat Taobaozhai and make a name for yourself?"
"It's not certain. Originally, the world was divided into three parts, but now he occupies more than half of the country. He might have to deal with Liang Sandao in the north of the city after gnawing the hard bone of Taobaozhai." All the colors of excitement.
Even the boy from the teahouse came to the window with the teapot in hand. Last time Xing Laosan smashed the shop, he saw it thoroughly, how could he be absent today.
But to everyone's surprise, Tong Bancheng and his men had just entered the shop, and two boys with red noses walked out of the shop, standing side by side at the door, quietly watching Tong Bancheng in the shop. They smashed and smashed the shop until they had enough prestige and walked away.
The two of them entered the shop again, tidying up and cleaning quickly, as if they were cleaning for the New Year, without any trace of grief, indignation or fear.
All the tea drinkers were dumbfounded. After looking at each other, they all felt that the two boys must have been scared to death.
Those who were bored and curious sat in the tea house until sunset, but they didn't see the owner of Taobaozhai rushing over, so they could only go back disappointed.
As a result, there was another sensation in Little Qingping County on the second day. It turned out that Tong Bancheng, who just occupied most of the territory yesterday, mysteriously disappeared last night.
The same is silent, the same no one knows, just like the old Xing Laosan before.
Everyone sat in the tea house again, looking at the two doors of Taobaozhai that were quietly closed together, all of them felt a chill down their backs.It seems that the people living there are not people, but some kind of monsters, devouring people for food, and it is extremely spicy.
"What is the origin of the owner of Taobaozhai? It's too..."
Someone couldn't bear it anymore and asked a question.
A nearby newsman answered fairly well, "I heard that it is the owner of Tong Ding's carpentry shop, but the owner is from a farming family, so I haven't heard that there is any influence."
"Ding's woodware shop? Is it the one that sells soft chairs?"
A tea customer came over to inquire, but was dragged back by a friend, who advised in a low voice, "Shut up! Don't talk about this matter anymore, whoever the owner is, has nothing to do with us."
And this kind of dialogue is also resounding in a large courtyard in the north of the city.
Wearing a black jacket, Liang Sandao, who was only over 30 years old, was squatting on a chair like an old farmer and munching on noodles. After hearing the details of Ding's family from his subordinates, he raised his head and smiled honestly, "Do you also want to eat noodles?" Want to gnaw on this hard bone?"
A few hooligans who originally thought about it, when they saw the boss smiling like this, immediately shrunk their necks and argued, "Boss, Xing Laosan and Tongban City are both closed. This is a good opportunity for us brothers. And as long as Taobaozhai is convinced, we will be in Qingping County from now on..."
"What happened in Qingping County?" Liang Sandao slammed the bowl on the table, waiting for his eyes to scold, "Your brains have been eaten by dogs! How could a Ding family clean up Xing Laosan silently?" He Tong Bancheng? There is someone backing me!"
"But, Boss, if this person wants to occupy the county..."
Liang Sandao jumped down to the ground, raised his hand and slapped each of the brothers, "A bunch of idiots! You overestimate the territory of the county town, and they probably don't take it seriously. If you really want to fight for territory, It won't just take care of Xing Laosan and Tong Bancheng!"
"Prepare a generous gift. I want to go to Taobaozhai to worship the mountain gate in person. You don't have to hurry up and take over the land for me. You won't be able to come across such a good time for many years. If you ruin it casually, you will be struck by lightning!"
"Yes, yes, boss."
A few hooligans hurried out clutching their heads, so just after noon, the tea drinkers in the teahouse watched another scene for free.
The only surviving local ruffian boss in Qingping County paid a respectful visit to Taobao Zhai with generous gifts. Even though the somewhat old-fashioned shopkeeper Cheng tried his best to refuse, he still left a generous gift and led people out.
The teahouse was quiet for half a cup of tea, and at the end, everyone hurriedly picked up the teacups, and then talked about the weather, Peach Blossom Fairy's new debut girl, and where to go for an outing, but no one mentioned the opposite Taobao Zhai...
Ding Wei checked the account books with one hand and the abacus with the other, and finally looked at Cheng Dayou with doubts in her eyes, and asked, "There is something wrong with the accounts, do you have anything to say?"
Mrs. Cheng was originally happy that her child's father came back, so she brazenly hugged An Ge'er and played aside, but she immediately turned pale when she heard this, and before her man could respond, she knelt down, "Girl, it's absolutely wrong!" It's all the father's fault, you just need to punish me, please don't sell our family!"
Ding Wei couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it, and quickly reached out to help her, and finally took over the dazed and staring son, and said helplessly, "Sister-in-law Cheng, you misunderstood, I didn't suspect that shopkeeper Cheng was greedy for ink, I still know his character very well. It's just that, this month, someone was making trouble in the store, smashing the goods, and naturally lost money, but the account entry was more than before. What's the reason?"
The last sentence is to ask Cheng Dayou.
Cheng Dayou had checked several times before reporting the account with his master, and he knew it well.Without further delay, he directly replied, "When I go back to my boss, although the shop was smashed before, some customers came to buy all the things that were smashed the next day. I was smashed twice. It's all like this, and the business after that is much more prosperous than before, and the younger one can't figure out why. In addition, someone came to give a generous gift yesterday, and the younger colleague inquired about it. Liang Sandao. I dare not call the shots, but I still have to ask the girl how to deal with it?"
"What else?" Ding Wei subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the main courtyard, thinking of the blood-stained walnuts that rolled on the ground that day, she didn't know whether to be grateful or in awe, so she hurriedly told Cheng Dayou, "You don't have to worry about other things, just worry about it." Just guard the shop and sell the goods. As for the generous gift from the Liang family, you also prepare a generous gift and go to pay my respects on my behalf."
Speaking of this, Ding Wei suddenly felt moved, and changed her words, "No, it's three points less to return the gift, just let the two guys send it."
"Yes, girl." Cheng Dayou didn't understand why the master arranged it like this, but he still complied honestly.
Ding Wei chatted a few more gossips, then went back with Brother An in her arms, leaving the Cheng family couple to talk about themselves.
Today is sunny and sunny, and it is rare that the breeze blows on the body with a slight warmth.Gong Zhiming walks around the yard with crutches. He is a strong person, and he has practiced martial arts for many years, so he is in good health. However, after practicing for a few days, except for some staggering when turning, the rest of the time he has walked very steadily. up.
Uncle Yun smiled and chatted with his master, seeing Ding Wei come in with Brother Ang in his arms, the wrinkles on his face became like a chrysanthemum.
"Miss Ding is back! How does Cheng Dayou look at the shop, is it still working?"
After asking, without waiting for Ding Wei to respond, he stretched out his hand to pick up the fat and puffy Angle, and patted Angle's back with joy while laughing, "Ange is heavy again, my old bones can't bear it." I can't hold it anymore."
Although An Ge'er is not yet one year old, children are born with a kind of intuition, and they know best who treats him sincerely.
As soon as this boy was held in the arms of the old man, his little hand automatically grabbed the white beard.
Ding Wei hurried forward to rescue him, but unfortunately, the fat boy's palm was still broken a few.
"Uncle Yun, don't spoil this kid too much, he is going to become a bully!"
Uncle Yun rubbed his chin with one hand in pain, but he still refused to complain, and instead protected the fat boy, "Brother An is a good boy, he is smart, he will learn literature and martial arts when he grows up, and he will be an upright hero!"
