Chapter 17: All were killed by him
Wen Shen was stunned, turned back and distanced himself from him.
After a stick of incense, Bai Yuan finally completely eased up. He stood up and looked around, only to find that the ditch Wen Shen said was one and a half people high. Fortunately, it was full of fallen leaves and hay, otherwise it would have been a good fall.
He couldn't help but worry: "How can you get out here?"
Wen Shen saw that he was well, so he wanted to step forward, but he was so frightened that Bai Shenteng retreated.
Young Master Wen was clear-minded, took off the outer gown and threw it away, and asked, "Okay?"
This time, Bai Cheng took the initiative to meet him, "Your old lady is also dark." I really can't see it, I'm so old, and I look like a twenty-year-old boy. ”
"Pay attention to the number of courtesies," Wen Shen looked sullen: "That's my mother, you contradict her like this today, I don't know how to end up going back." ”
Bai Yuan didn't care: "Isn't she going to drive people away? ”
"And said!" Wen Shen became even more angry: "You are making such a fuss today, and the deliberate operation in the past three months has been in vain." ”
"What does it matter. The entire Taiyongde, every place, every person, whether it is open or secret, should be you gentle. Bai Yuan said, sitting cross-legged on the ground, "Only in this way can everyone be single-minded and make good wine." ”
"It's easier said than done. Wen Shen sighed, he sat down, and his words revealed a deep powerlessness, "My current business is not even as good as when my father was alive. Ti'er came to Qianyang again, and now the money on the books can't be opened, and she doesn't even know where to make up the money......"
"Wait a minute," Bai Yuan finally couldn't help but ask, "What is this salary?"
Wen Shen: "Salary is the rule of Qianyang City, and all merchants must pay money to the King of Qianyang every year. ”
"Fu Shaotong?" The sun was already in the west, and Bai Yuan tightened his collar, "Why?"
Wen Shen got up, cleared a clean place, and then began to collect the surrounding branches, he replied as he was busy: "It is said that it is military expenses, and it is used to ensure the safety of the fathers and elders in the hometown." ”
"Fart, isn't this a robbery!"
Bai Yuan still sat in place, until Wen Shen couldn't stand it anymore and told him to get up and work, and he stepped around.
"How much do you have to pay?" Bai asked after picking it up for a while.
Wen Shen: "The old merchants pay 500 per year, and the new merchants pay 3,000 in the first year." ”
"What?" Bai Yuan's hand, which already had a few branches, fell to the ground, "Thirty cart pullers in Sijiu City ran together, and they could barely earn back three thousand yuan for a year, and he asked for three thousand yuan when he opened his mouth? Who can take out three thousand yuan casually? This year, in the whole of Shangqianyang, you are a new merchant, right?"
"It was enough," Wen Shen ignored his complaints, but said worriedly, "Now it's all taken by Ti'er to buy a car." ”
It's no wonder that when Young Master Wen was in Shengtai Restaurant, he could throw out gold casually, and if people didn't make a deal when Master Wen was alive, there would be an ocean of 3,000 yuan on the books, amazing, amazing.
What a fuss you are making?
Bai Yuan bent down to pick up the branch and threw it into the firewood, "Didn't you tell the proprietress that you would receive the money in two days?"
Wen Shen squatted down and lit the fire, "It's too late in time, the salary will be paid in three days." ”
"Discuss it with him, and pay it a few days later. Bai Yuan stretched out his hand to the fire, and it was warm, so that his voice became lazy.
"I heard that there were thirteen of them who consulted him last year, and all of them were killed by him. The heads were hung in a row at the city gate, from the Mid-Autumn Festival to Chongyang. After Wen Shen finished speaking, he stared at the firelight motionlessly.
That younger brother of yours really lives up to expectations, no matter how big Lou Zi is, he dares to stab him.
Bai Yuan pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively: "For so many years, has no one resisted in Qianyang?"
Wen Shen shook his head.
"And no one escaped?"
Wen Shen finally moved, he sat back and said, "King Qianyang has soldiers and guns in his hands, and it is basically impossible to resist. If you run away, I don't know what others will do, but I'm afraid Tai Yongde can't. ”
"Isn't it impossible," Bai Yuan hurt him without raising his eyes or opening his eyes: "Tai Yongde's family has a big business, and he deliberately pasted it on people's faces before, not staring at who you are staring at!"
For the first time, Wen Shen did not refute or reprimand him.
At this time, it seemed a little unkind to say cool words, and Bai Yuan comforted again: "Maybe there will be a turn for the better, let's go out first." ”
Wen Shen frowned and pondered, but still did not speak.
"No, even if there is no turnaround, we can't wait to die like this. "White fell and pulled him.
"That's right. The tone of gentleness was ordinary, but there was a hint of imperceptible perseverance in his eyes.
He got up neatly, looked around for a while, and after choosing the direction, he retreated and ran, rushing to the straight ditch wall in a few steps, and then grabbed the protruding stone on it, and with his arm force, the whole person instantly turned out.
Leaving Bai Fall alone at the bottom of the ditch, dumbfounded.
"You could have gone out a long time ago, what kind of fire are you making!" Bai raised his head angrily and shouted.
"You're cold, and I'm going to have to think about things. Wen Shen tossed a vine from above.
Bai fell and dragged it, tried several times, and finally crawled out before he was exhausted.
When the two of them returned to the winery, it was already full of stars.
Bai fell to the residence, and the bell cried so that his eyes were swollen, and when he saw him, he immediately pounced: "You're not dead?"
"I didn't see you go out to look for me when I died. Bai Cheng saw that he was crying funny, and deliberately teased him.
"I'm not going," the bell said in a hoarse voice, "the eldest lady has taken someone out to look for it, I'll wait here, if you have a good one, I'll stab the old lady and let her pay for your life!"
Bai Yuan laughed: "Ho, don't you see it, so righteous?"
"You're still laughing?!" the bell cried even harder.
Bai Yuan was busy coaxing for a long time, and then told what happened, and the bell relieved himself, "You too, what are you doing as a guy and getting involved in the family affairs of the owner." ”
After speaking, he reached out and touched the wound on Bai Yuan's forehead, and felt distressed again: "Wait for the next time I get food, I have to let two mice in, eat him hard, and ask that old woman to beat people casually!"
Bai Yuan smiled and let him talk nonsense, took a shower by himself, and did not treat the wound, so he fell asleep.
The next morning, everyone tacitly did not mention that Bai Shen was going to be kicked out of Taiyongde.
A guy on the other side of Chishui sent Daqu over, and in order to grab time, the big guys were all pulled to break the song.
The sun had just risen, and the temperature was just right. The second son led people to quickly clear the open space in front of the gate of the winery, and spread the yellow cakes on the ground.
The guys smashed it with pickaxes and sticks, and Bai Cheng was more aggrieved. He was given the work of grinding, and sat with the bell among the girls, and took the pestle and ground the broken pieces into powder little by little.
The girl in Qianyang has a hearty temperament, and she sings sweet love songs while working. The men not far away were pleasing to the eye, and their working arms were more open.
The group was in full swing, and suddenly there was a dripping sound.
Soon, the car stopped outside the gate, and Wen Shen got out of the car with a young man who looked a little thin.
The young man opened his mouth first: "The thing is good, but I don't know if the price can be negotiated again." I also bought this car behind my father's back, and I couldn't get that much for a while. ”
Before Wen Shen could speak, Shen Zhixing rushed out in a hurry, shouting from the side of the road: "Dongjia! Dongjia!" When he arrived at the place, he finally noticed the curious eyes around him, and turned his head to Wen Shen and whispered.
After hearing this, Wen Shen's face tightened, as if he wanted to hide from someone, he took the young man to the car, "Visit Brother Nan, let's talk in another place." ”
It's a pity that it's still a step too late.
The old lady was carried by someone, all the way through the working men, and her usual calm and grace, like the curved cake under her feet, had long been kicked to where she had been kicked and flown to.
"This is Ti'er's filial piety to me," she led a group of old mothers to block in front of the car, "which one dares to sell!"
Wen Shen looked very embarrassed, he first placed the young man who came with him aside, and then went to the old lady to persuade the old lady: "Mother, Qianyang is not as good as Chishui, and the matter of money is not a joke. This car was sold first, and after half a month, the balance payment was collected, and I will help you buy another one. ”
The old lady's eyes widened, and her cheeks trembled with anger, "Do you want to suppress your brother in everything?" The master let you do it, and the wine shop let you take care of it, and now you have to rob him of such a trivial matter as buying a car?"
As she spoke, she pushed Wen Shen back, "You can't show it in front of me, who has filial piety, I know it in my own heart!"
Her voice was so loud that she didn't even want to hide it. The people around them were busy with their work on the surface, but in fact, their ears were eager to stick to them.
"I never thought of it like that. Wen Shen tried his best to suppress the old lady's anger, "Mother, the king of Qianyang acted ruthlessly, I heard that just because the small farmer was selling vegetables, the muddy water splashed on his hands, and he had the whole village burned. The three-year-old doll's crying disturbed his purity, and he actually took a knife and stripped the child'......s skin!
Old lady: "You don't use these excuses to prevaricate me, he is a bandit, he is just asking for money, it really can't be done, and your father's box of gold is there, I don't believe he dares to do anything to us." ”
Wen Shen's eyes flashed unconsciously, and after a long time, he sighed silently, "Please go back to the backyard first, I won't move this car." ”
The old lady's expression relaxed slightly, and she said a few words with a cold face before taking people back slowly.
When she walked away, she turned back cautiously and compensated the buyer with a little sadness: "I'm sorry, Brother Nan." You also heard what my mother meant, and I made you run away in vain, so why don't I send you back first?"
"It's a pity. The young man didn't embarrass him, but there was regret in his tone, and his eyes stopped on the car for a moment before shaking his head: "I'll just go back by myself, don't bother." ”
"It just so happens that I have something to do when I enter the city, so let's go together. Wen Shen made a gesture of please.
The young man didn't excuse himself anymore and got into the car with Wen Shen.
As soon as the two left, the guys exploded.
