Chapter 52
The merchant felt that he had completed the work in the county this time, which was also very impressive, so he already had a certain understanding of how well he could get a good remuneration. After collecting the envelope and receiving the reward, he was not in a hurry to carefully clarify the specific amount in it, but instead bowed his hand to express his attitude.
On the one hand, the merchant believes that the two Gong Jian brothers must be paid a lot, so since they have received such a generous remuneration from others, they must do their jobs well. Of course, he had already made up his mind in his heart, in fact, in the past few days, the two contributing brothers no longer asked themselves to entrust him with work, and he also had to go to the inn before leaving to see if the two brothers had anything that needed to be entrusted to Zhao Rong.
On the other hand, the merchant is very sympathetic to Zhao Rong's situation. Maybe the more transparent the mind, the more they don't like those private things, so for the treatment that Zhao Rong has always received in the Zhao family, the merchant is also dissatisfied with him in his heart. If there was a chance to help the poor young master, of course he hoped that he could do his part.
After both sides finished speaking, the merchant left the teahouse one step earlier. As soon as the merchant left, Gong Yu couldn't help it anymore, and directly asked the question in his heart: "Big brother, it's okay now, why didn't you open that purse just now? ”
Seeing the second brother who was so anxious now, Gong Jian laughed helplessly. He reached out and took out the purse in his arms, took it out and threw it directly to Gong Yu. He knew that the second brother of this family must have been holding back the thoughts in his heart since just now, and he was eager to open the purse, but because he had not done it, he had been enduring his temper and waited patiently beside him.
Now that the merchant is gone, there are no outsiders, but no, he asked anxiously. But now it is better to explain anything to him than to throw the purse directly to him, so that he can see the situation of the purse himself more quickly.
Sure enough, Gong Yu took the purse with both hands, and when he immediately wanted to open the purse, he found that the purse was completely sewn to death with a needle and thread. Only then did he know why his eldest brother had not planned to open this purse since just now.
They must be in the restaurant now, and they don't have any sharp objects with them, so he can't open the purse with such a needle and thread. Even if the two of them had great strength, Gong Yu didn't dare to tear open this purse directly, who knows if the contents would be destroyed because of his efforts.
And just when Gong Yu was holding his purse with both hands and was at a loss, he was pulled up by Gong Jian, "Okay, let's go back to the inn first, let Xiao Er find us a pair of scissors, and then see what kind of information your little brother has sent to us?"
After Gong Jian's reminder, he didn't need to pull anymore, Gong Yu had already walked in front of him quickly and left the teahouse. The two brothers quickly returned to the inn where they were staying. Before Gong Jian could speak, Gong Yu had already instructed Xiao Er to hurry up and bring him a pair of scissors.
After Xiao Er presented the scissors, he was quickly sent away by Gong Yu, and he was not in a hurry to open the purse now. Seeing that Xiao Er was about to turn around and leave, he immediately reached out and closed the courtyard door directly.
The courtyard door that was almost closed outside the door, and Xiao Er, who was directly slapped on his face, still looked 'confused'. He didn't know what happened to the two brothers, especially the little boy's, how they went out once, and became so 'sexual' anxious when they came back, and he didn't know what the two of them wanted scissors for.
But these are the guest officer's own affairs, Xiao Er shook his head, he was still very glad that he reacted quickly just now and retreated in time, otherwise he would have put a bag on his head, and the boss would not let him greet the guests in front. If you arrange yourself to help in the back kitchen, it will be a hard time.
By the time Xiao Er outside the door left, Gong Yu was already holding scissors and opened the purse very carefully. He carefully took out all the contents of the purse and spread it on the table, only to find that the purse was wrapped in a piece of paper and some copper coins.
Gong Jian has been at the table, quietly watching his second brother's movements. As far as he was concerned, his second brother had never been so cautious as he was now, looking at him with scissors, cutting only some needles and threads, but it seemed that he was opening the most precious thing, for fear of destroying the contents inside.
Then, I saw Gong Yu take out a piece of wrinkled white paper from the purse, as well as some copper coins. And his second brother eagerly dug into the purse for a long time, but there was nothing in it.
Seeing Gong Yu holding those things in one hand and holding a purse in the other, Gong Jian wanted to laugh a little. He had never seen his second brother, and he showed such a nervous expression, which showed that Zhao Rong's status in his second brother's heart was really not low.
Now Gong Jian didn't want to rush to check it, Zhao Rong brought these things, anyway, his second brother was checking it. He could take this opportunity to think carefully about the information about the Zhao family that he heard from the merchant today.
The most important thing he wants to analyze is that the Zhao family has no leader now, and it is completely relying on the head of the Zhao family who is a loser, and this head of the Zhao family has no intention of 'meddling' in internal contradictions, but sits next to it and watches jokes, constantly accepting the benefits sent by others, but he does not intend to wade into this muddy water to solve the problems within the family.
To be honest, when he heard this situation, Gong Jian was greatly relieved. For such a local noble clan that has been entrenched in the county for hundreds of years, Gong Jian is afraid that they will be united internally. The population of such a local wang clan is already large, and with the strength of their two brothers, it is simply impossible to compete with such a large family.
Originally, he had been worried that such a situation would occur, but now it seems that the situation is not as bad as he imagined. As long as the Zhao family maintains this state of internal chaos, coupled with the fact that they don't plan to do things at all, it has been proven that they are definitely not a shrewd person, and such a family head will not have much hindrance to the progress of the next things.
Gong Jian was still thinking about the measure in his heart, and Gong Yu was looking through the contents of his purse. It's just that he really doesn't understand why his little brother has put so much effort into it, but the things he sent over are so ordinary.
