Chapter 134 The Incense Burner (Additional update please vote)
Sun Niuzi was domineering and domineering in Zhuangzi, which aroused the anger of heaven and earth, but one thing has to be said, the clerks in Zhuangzi were just patient and patient, and they did not rush to climb up to him.
Including the two guys who had stayed with Xu Ji, the same was true. They usually avoided them and didn't want to go over and hug them.
The reason is that after this year, Hu Ma has done things steadily and treated people kindly, and has a lot of prestige in this village.
They all subconsciously thought that Hu Ma would not suffer such a loss. Sun Niuzi was too arrogant. In a few days, he might be driven back to the city by Manager Hu, no, Shopkeeper Hu. Go, with the attitude of watching this good show in my heart.
But what they didn't expect was that Hu Ma watched Sun Niuzi making a fuss and kept looking coldly.
What the other party says is what it is, and what is asked of you is what you do.
It seems that he is still the same as when he was in charge, never saying a word.
When you were working as a manager, you were doing the job of shopkeeper on the side. Now that you have the opportunity to be a shopkeeper, are you going back?
We were thinking about it in our hearts, and we were a little confused.
But Hu Ma didn't dare to cause trouble with Sun Niuzi, and as associates, they naturally didn't dare.
After waiting until about seven or eight days, and it was almost June, Hu Ma took the initiative to enter the inner courtyard on this day, accompanied Smiley Face, and approached Sun Niuzi who was drinking on the stone table with his entourage. He smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Sun, I have something to say."
As soon as Sun Niuzi picked up the cup, he was startled and said with a smile: "What did you call me?"
Hu Ma smiled and said, "It's the shopkeeper!"
Sun Niuzi hurriedly put down the wine cup, waved his hand and said, "Don't call it that, we are just a steward."
"There are several big shots in this city, and you are the one they want to promote."
…”
Hu Ma smiled and said: "I have only been a member of the club for a few days, so what can I know? This shopkeeper must be someone who can be trusted to do it."
"I came in today because I had something important to discuss with shopkeeper Sun. Now that the blood meal for the spring has been completed, the old shopkeeper has taken care of it as soon as the accounts are settled. There is not much work to do if I stay here."
“We are eating money and food from the Red Lantern Lady every month, and we feel uneasy.”
"So I was thinking about taking a few brothers out to see if there is anything I can do to help the Red Lantern Lady."
"In the past, I was burdened by Zhuangzi and couldn't get away even if I wanted to. But now that Shopkeeper Sun is watching, I feel relieved."
…”
“You want to go out?”
Sun Niuzi felt very comfortable when he heard that Hu Ma was a shopkeeper. He slowly pinched a peanut and threw it into his mouth. He didn't even ask Hu Ma to sit down, so he imitated his brother-in-law and said, "You want to give it to me?" It’s right that the Red Lantern Queen works.”
“I just don’t know, what do you want to do?”
…”
Hu Ma smiled and said, "Don't you want to ask someone who knows?"
“Then you have found the right person, my brother-in-law... I have been learning how to do things from Master Zheng Xiang, and I know this best.”
Sun Niuzi became excited for a moment. He sat down with Hu Ma and told him one by one. In the Red Lantern Society, what did the Baixiang disciples do, what did the Qingxiang disciples do, and what did the Hongxiang disciples do? .
Hu Madu listened attentively, and only said that he planned to make a contribution and let him help recommend it. Sun Niuzi took the opportunity to smile and said: "There is one contribution, it just depends on whether you want to do it or not."
Hu Ma hurriedly said: "Please tell me, if you don't make contributions, you won't be able to stand. No one dares."
Sun Niuzi laughed and said something immediately.
But more than 200 miles away from here, there was a wealthy family. Although he was not in Mingzhou Prefecture, he was a believer of the Red Lantern Queen. Some of the Red Lantern Society's secret blood food pills came from him. Let's go and rely on his shop to sell to the surrounding wealthy families.
But this rich family was killed by someone who didn't know who killed the whole family last year. The matter has been unresolved, waiting for others to come over.
Hu Ma, who had been listening beside him, suddenly nodded and said, "I'd rather give it a try."
“If we can really solve this problem, I’m afraid it will be no less than Brother Yang Gong’s contribution.”
“Of course, the reply to the city must be written clearly. Only when you have a reputation can you just do things.”
…”
Sun Niuzi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Very good, very good."
Hu Ma looked at him and showed a kind and sincere smile.
However, when this incident spread, the guys in Zhuangzi were puzzled. Why did Hu Ma take this job? She had enough of a stable life, but she wanted to go out to find trouble?
His concession to Sun Niuzi was beyond everyone's comprehension.
Not only do you always tolerate whatever the other party says, but now at the critical moment, you are actually willing to give up your title as shopkeeper and even accept the other party's manipulation.
All clay figurines still have a third part of the fire nature, but you look worse than a clay figurine...
In confusion, Zhou Datong suddenly shut up and stopped talking.
Hu Ma didn’t even explain. He just looked like he was determined to make a great contribution.
He watched Sun Niuzi write a letter overnight, accepted the job, stamped it with Zhuangzi's seal, decided who would stay and who would go out, and then summoned the little emissary and handed it to the city.
The most important thing is that in this letter, when Hu Ma wrote that Sun Niu Zi was staying behind, he simply added the word "shopkeeper" as a suffix. Sun Niu Zi was so excited that he suddenly felt a lot better about Hu Ma and didn't even want to embarrass him anymore. I just want to tell my brother-in-law that he is a good man.
As for Hu Ma, after completing these things, he immediately started to clean up and withdraw money and food. Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang, and Zhao Zhu all took them with them, and even Li Wazi was prepared to take them with him.
But Li Wazi came over and said, "Brother Mazi, I'm useless. The stove is not strong. When I meet a wanderer on the road and blow my breath, I'm done. If I go out with you, I'm just a burden."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice again and said, "Besides, since you are out, we cannot leave the village without one of our own."
“I’ll stay and keep an eye on it for you.”
…”
Hearing what he said, Zhou Datong and others were a little hesitant.
This Li Wazi has a criminal record. You are one of our own now. Who knows if you will become Sun Niuzi's when we come back?
But Hu Ma looked at it and felt that Li Wazi was trustworthy at this time, so she agreed and gave him detailed instructions.
On the second day, he brought his things with him and received a lot of money, food, black oil, weapons and other things from the village. He also took a horse from the stable.
Because he knew how difficult it would be to get the flax, Sun Niuzi not only did not hinder him, but waved his hand and let them take it as they pleased. They changed their clothes, tied their trousers, and strode out of Zhuangzi toward the rising sun.
It wasn’t until he had walked a few miles that Hu Ma turned to look in the direction of Zhuangzi, with a smile on his lips.
“Good guy…”
…”
"Shopkeeper, the people from this village are just stupid..."
After Hu Ma and others left Zhuangzi, Sun Niuzi and his entourage suddenly jumped for joy.
Immediately ordered Li Wazi in the kitchen to prepare good wine and dishes and bring them to the inner courtyard, while laughing and chatting about the matter.
The Sun Niuzi imitated Zheng Xiangzhu's example, shook his head and said: "Haha, you think he is stupid, I think he is smart."
“He also knows that with us here, he will not be able to sit safely as the shopkeeper, so he wants to imitate Yang Gong and make a great contribution, so that he can naturally secure his position as the shopkeeper.”
“But he also didn’t think about it. It’s been so long since the family extermination happened. Why has no one been there to deal with it?”
“The Tsing Yi Gang’s people are just there, Pan Heng, how can they be solved so easily?”
…”
The attendant smiled and said: "So, not only does he not want to accomplish this feat, but he also has to ask whether he can come back?"
Sun Niuzi smiled and said, "Isn't that right?"
In his heart, he was thinking vaguely, if Hu Ma couldn't come back, how should Zhuangzi's identity be determined?
It was God who took care of him. This boy named Hu was too timid. In order to please himself, he insisted on being a small boy and promoted himself as the shopkeeper. However, what he said always did not count. He still had to look at his brother-in-law. How to arrange it there.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and asked Li Wazi to stew another chicken to go with the wine.
But such a stable day was not over for a few days. After the night patrol, he was drinking with his entourage in the inner courtyard. He also selected a few people who liked him from the clerk outside and came over to listen to his bragging.
Just when we were full of wine and food, it was still freezing. Outside the village, a gust of cool breeze suddenly blew in, and the red lantern hanging at the door also emitted a strange red light that was different from usual.
"who is it?"
This gust of wind made everyone in the village suddenly wake up from their drunkenness.
Hurrying with swords and guns, he drove out of Zhuangzi, but he was so frightened that he almost fainted and fell to his knees on the ground.
“Incense burner?”
Seeing Sun Niuzi kneeling on the ground, trembling, the other clerks also hurriedly knelt down.
They didn't know the origins of these people, but they saw that each of them was riding a tall horse and wearing black clothes. Even their heads and faces were covered by black cloth, only a pair of sinister eyes were exposed.
They hung knives on their waists, and immediately picked up a red lantern. Half of their bodies were hidden in the night, and they looked like they were half in the world and half in hell.
Other clerks didn’t know the origins of these people. They saw them carrying red lanterns. They thought they must be their own people, but they looked scary.
Only Sun Niuzi knew that these people were the most mysterious and favored people under the control of the Red Lantern Lady.
They are all disciples of Hongxiang, possess secret laws, and their whereabouts are mysterious. Only when the Red Lantern Empress personally issues an order can they act in accordance with it. Once they appear, not to mention Zhuangzi, even the owner of the incense will have to Kneel down quickly and salute.
Not to greet them, but to greet the Red Lantern Lady they represent.
The first person on the horse smelled the smell of alcohol on their bodies, and his eyes under the black cloth narrowed slightly.
The voice was cold and low: "Who is the shopkeeper in this village?"
Sun Niuzi was startled for a moment and said hurriedly: "I am, sir, what are your orders?"
“Then let’s go!”
The man on the horse said coldly: "The Queen has issued a decree to summon the shopkeepers from all over the country to go to the city overnight. I have important matters to tell you."
