Chapter 21: I'm a Single, Who I'm Afraid of?

"How do you talk to people?"

Watching Li Zhutou walk into the gate of the mansion, Xie Xiang reprimanded Xia Xueyi with some anger.

Xia Xueyi rolled her eyes at Xie Xiang, and said in a weird manner: "You have to give people the money you want to give to people with the money called Huazi, is he willing to ask for it?" Dead book-reading nerds! ”

Xie Xiang was already short of breath, but he was a little unconvinced by Xia Xueyi's simple picking, and he deliberately quibbled and said: "Hmph, Li Zhutou was originally a good person, and he didn't have any benefits with us, I just didn't want to go, even if you have money, why don't you take it out and give it to him?" ”

Xia Xueyi pointed to the incense candle and firecracker shop on the street disapprovingly, and sneered: "When he finishes the matter, of course I will reward him, what's the hurry?" You'd better hurry up and buy firecrackers, that's the right thing to do...... When they arrived, they immediately landed and wanted to fire a cannon. ”

Xia Xueyi has never had a good impression of these public people, if it weren't for Xie Xiang and Ai Ye, he might not even look at Li Zhutou with a straight eye, he felt that he was already very face-saving like this.

Now it's Xie Xiang's turn to be stunned, Xia Xueyi also knows these things? He nodded at Xia Xueyi, and he saw that someone really dared to open an incense candle shop in front of the mansion.

It seems that the ancient official office is really the legendary ghost gate!

Xie Xiang hurriedly walked out with a young man from an incense and candle shop holding a roll of firecrackers; The coffin that was about to pick up Old Man Li's body had been on the shoulders of the eight generals who carried the coffin for a while.

This is very undesirable, if it is an experienced and knowledgeable owner, it has been prepared a long time ago, and the firecrackers will be set off before the coffin arrives at the designated place.

Fortunately, these people also know that since it is called to carry the longevity device here, it must be a temporary preparation, and there is no way to miss it.

Fortunately, the shoulders of these people have been trained for a long time, but the owner of the longevity shop who temporarily pretended to be the eighth general, although he carried the most weak place, he had already bared his teeth a little, and looked at Xie Xiang who walked into the incense candle light, and looked at him to come out with firecrackers as soon as possible, so that the coffin could fall to the ground.

Xia Xueyi looked at the two big men at the front of the coffin with some curiosity, and could see that they were obviously brothers, with exactly the same faces, carrying the heaviest head in front of the coffin, but they were not panting or blushing, and they had exactly the same good strength.

Xie Xiang and the incense and candle shop guys set off firecrackers, where could they care to see those spirit bearers, with an earth-shattering crackling sound, the mouths of those carrying coffins let out a burst of shouting, and then slowly unloaded the huge longevity vessel from their shoulders.

The sensible Ai Ye hurriedly lay down and kowtowed to those people, Ai Ye didn't know that he, as the grandson of the deceased, was supposed to kowtow to these people who were going to carry his grandfather to rest in peace, he just felt that these unknown uncles and uncles brought his grandfather's coffin, and he should kowtow to them to express his gratitude.

This is indeed a mistake, don't say thank you, I don't understand, it is estimated that even Xia Xueyi has no score in her heart; Standing in front of the coffin were the brothers Chen Gang and Chen Tie, who were the last to unload the rope to carry the burden, and as soon as Chen put down the burden, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Ai Ye in return, and then reached out to help Ai Ye up.

Although Chen Gang didn't know who the owner of the longevity store sold this longevity vessel to today, the rules must have given them these workers to kowtow to filial sons and grandchildren, and it was obvious that this crying child might be their little proprietor today.

He is the one who stands on the left side of the front and has to bow to the host.

Picking up Ai Ye, who was full of tears, Chen Gang couldn't help but be stunned in his heart: This little owner? Why do you look like you've seen it somewhere? This is what it looks like...... It's like a person!

Xia Xueyi has been holding her arms and looking like she has nothing to do with herself, Ai Ye is young, and Xie Xiang, who is busy setting off firecrackers with the incense and candle shop, feels that this time he can't say that he can't pull up the tiger skin to make a big flag and pretend to be the person in charge.

Looking at the people in front of him who were messing around and panting, Xie Xiang finally understood with some sadness that Li Zhutou pushed back his kindness of a few taels of silver: With so many workers, you have to mean it, right?

Chen Zhutou really wanted to take his few taels of silver and leave, not to mention rewarding these workers who carried the coffin, I am afraid that he would even have to buy firecrackers and lower with Xia Xueyi, who had a bad smile.

Xie Xiang hurriedly touched the little broken silver left after buying the firecrackers just now, and walked to Chen Gang, who was helping Ai Ye up, but before he could speak, the two of them looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.

In the end, Xie Xiang never forgot it: "Brother Chen? ”

"Gongzi Xie?"

After all, the impression in his mind was too deep, and in Xie Xiang's surprise, Chen Gang also blurted out.

Ai Ye suddenly raised his head and looked at Xie Xiang strangely, and then at Chen Gang.

"Hehe, it turns out that the second master and this son know each other?"

The shopkeeper of the longevity shop hurriedly came over while wiping the beads of sweat on his head.

No matter what, it's always good to have a familiar relationship with the owner, let alone a generous owner?

Although I don't know who they are going to collect the corpses for, but now that it is in Wuzhou, as long as there is money, the government master has not turned a blind eye.

Having said that, if it is really something that the Wuzhou City Government can't handle, the people in the government are not bastards, so the shopkeeper of the longevity shop is happy to make friends with Xie Xiang and others, and just wants to settle this business quickly and safely.

Xie Xiang smiled silently, Chen Gang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The little one once had a relationship with Gongzi Xie, he is not acquainted, he is not acquainted, Gongzi is a nobleman, how can I wait for the peddler to climb high?" ”

Chen Gang is an honest and upright person, he speaks honestly, he doesn't want to put more gold on his face, Chen Gang didn't even deliberately glance at Xia Xueyi, who was standing not far away with a cold expression.

He felt that even if he had a relationship with the owner, everyone looked like a nobleman, and he couldn't climb high for no reason.

The owner of the longevity shop suddenly felt a little embarrassed on his face, and hurriedly arched Xie Xiang and said: "Yes, yes, it's a little ignorance, it's offensive to say something, and I hope that the son will be a big **, don't care about the small population." ”

Xie Xiang listened to it interestingly, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's okay, Brother Chen, you also misunderstood, where am I a nobleman?" Last time, I took the carriage and horse from your house into the city, and I haven't had time to thank Gao Yi, but I ...... Why did you suddenly change careers and start this kind of business? ”

Chen Gang scratched his head and said with a honest smile: "I haven't changed careers, and you can't say anything to your son...... Let me tell you this, I'm just taking advantage of my youth and strength to steal more money for my future retirement. ”

As soon as Xie Xiang heard Chen Gang say silver, he quickly nodded, and stuffed the silver that he had just touched in his hand but hadn't had time to hand over because he was just talking into Chen Gang's hand: "This little meaning, you have shared it with everyone, everyone has worked hard." ”

Chen Gang was a little surprised when he saw that Xie Xiang was so generous, and hurriedly excused himself: "I have already taken the salary of the shopkeeper, if the son wants to reward tea, just give a few pennies, we really can't afford so much." ”

Chen Chengang is an honest person, seeing Xie Xiang's shot is a few taels of silver, where is he willing to accept it?

He even felt that this Xie Gongzi must have given so much silver because he had ridden his wife's carriage and horse. At that time, it was because his wife agreed to him that it was convenient for others, and if he got more money from others for this matter, it should not be.

It turns out that the ordinary people outside here are not like the wolf-like jailers in the government office, almost everyone is cultivated to drink silver with a thick throat, and they only hate the lack of silver you give.

Dare to make any kind of money that hurts the heavens and reason, and no amount of silver is too much.

The ordinary people outside the government who earn money with their strength are much more simple and content, coupled with the various new articles published in Wuzhou City one after another, the real scoundrels and singles of those gangsters have been coaxed, and those who come today are all diligent, and there are few people who are greedy for money and forget their righteousness.

They feel that such a thing has happened in someone's house, which is already sad enough, and if they ask for more reward, it is tantamount to taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Therefore, Chen Gang's refusal, everyone did not express any unwillingness.

Now it was Xie Xiang's turn to be surprised, so many people shared this silver, how? This Brother Chen isn't talking the opposite, right?

Xie Xiang hurriedly stuffed the silver towards Chen Gang with an apologetic face: "I'm really sorry, please bear with me Brother Chen......"

Chen Gang said that he would not accept anything: "Gongzi Xie, you said that you killed the villain...... If you really want to reward us with some money for drinking tea, just give us a few pennies. ”

Just as he was pushing and shoving, Li Zhutou suddenly ran down from the high steps of the mansion.

Li Zhutou saw Chen Gang who was pushing and shoving with Xie Xiang, and Chen Tie who was standing with many spirit bearers, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, thinking why did these two brothers come too?

He knew that Chen Gang had always been an amateur messenger who helped people carry coffins, and it was nothing when Chen Gang came, and if the jailers and officials who sent Li Laohan's body out for a while saw Chen Tie, they would inevitably go to the grandfather to chew their tongues: the grandfather was angry about the affairs of the Li Mansion, and he might not go to find Chen Tie's bad luck.

After all, he and Chen Tie have been old partners for many years, and some people know that he just went to find Chen Tie, and for the sake of the Li Mansion's public case, Bao Buji even involved him.

"Lao Chen, why are you here? Are your arms so neat? ”

didn't have time to say hello to Chen Gang, Li Zhutou hurriedly shouted at Chen Tie, and while shouting, he also glanced at Chen Tie, walked over and pulled Chen Tie to hide behind the longevity vessel that was about to collect Old Man Li.

Fortunately, this longevity weapon is very tall, and it can avoid two people for the time being.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you that my grandfather has been unhappy these days? ”

Li Zhutou complained in a low voice.

Chen Tie's face didn't matter, he looked like I was a single person and who I was afraid of.
