Chapter 23 of the Flying Dragon Chapter 23

After driving more than 100 miles overnight, and returning home after the city gate opened, Wang Xingping was so tired that his bones were about to fall apart.

Today, Wang Xingping doesn't want to do anything, he just wants to sleep peacefully, but he can't sleep when he lies in bed; Well, he was wondering if he should have made a promise to Zhang Heming on a whim.

Originally, he just wanted to force Gu Fengming to soften, and then hand over the grain in full, so that he could say nothing in the Futai in the future by closing the power on the cabinet at this time. Wang Xingping is not sure whether the shopkeeper Gu will be blamed for this incident and resigned, but the right to speak is always gradually taken back in these incidents again and again, the Ye family and the Gu family can strictly say things, but in terms of deference to the owner, Ye Yiwei took the lead in doing better, and in private, the Gu family obviously had more things to do, and he was like a mirror in his heart.

But Gu Fengming's reaction obviously did not go in the direction he expected.

Not only did he not say it to his face, but he didn't take the initiative to come to the door to discuss it after a day's delay, and when he came back just now, Wang Xiaoliu said that Gu Fengming was walking with him yesterday, and it seemed that he was not in the city at night.

Yesterday, he didn't come back after leaving the Chaojing Gate before closing the city, is this planning to fight with silence? Even if you don't want to fight, you have to make up the gap in the warehouse to make up for it......

With his eyes closed, but his head is spinning rapidly, could it be that the worst plan he made will really become a reality?

From ancient times to the present, whether it is the people or the officials who are in charge of the warehouse, there are not a few people who fill their private pockets, and they are forced to be anxious before the chaku, and the matter of setting fire to the granary into a white ground has not been less after the unification of the world.

He knows very well that it is not uncommon for people to do anything because of interests, but if he puts himself in Gu Fengming's shoes, he will feel that things will not end here, I am afraid that he still thinks too much, maybe when the time comes, Xi Feng's trip will just be in vain, so that Liao Si and the others will find a reason to come to Guiyang City for a private visit.

It's really because the idea he popped up is a bit illogical, the chips in the Gu family's hands don't need them to take risks, as long as they see it clearly enough, it's just a step back, and it's just a return of some of the original Caidong's rights, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it will make people desperate.

But Wang Xingping, who has experienced several changes, is convinced of another sentence, 'Reality is always more exciting than dramas, because reality is often not too logical'.

If Gu Fengming is really half a tank of water? Or was provoked in a panic, for the sake of interests, for the sake of face, it is not impossible not to take risks, thinking about it this way, then last night's rush is nothing.

'Safety first'

This is the only principle that Wang Xingping has been earnestly practicing since he came to this world, no matter how small it may be, he must be fully prepared. After all, he has a full belief in the theory of parallel worlds, saying that if he can cross, he will cross, so the statement that he can't cross again after crossing is mostly true. Wang Xingping has no motivation to verify, but he has good reasons not to want to be 'reincarnated' again.

He looked back and thought, if he hadn't been able to beat Gu Fengming this time, then he would have at least broken most of his body at Zhang Heming, and the Futai would probably really collapse, and he didn't know why he came up with such a method on impulse at that time, and completely forced himself to a dead end. Since reason is as impulsive as oneself once in a while, it is not whimsical to think of others as crazy thinking of this, thinking of this, Wang Xingping laughed on the bed.

After thinking about it again, his heart opened up again, maybe he felt that the tail of the Gu family was too big to fall off, and if he didn't put his industry in order as soon as possible, everything in the future would be hindered, so he didn't want to do anything.

Perhaps deep down, the anxiety of not achieving anything is greater than the possible threat. Gu Fengming said that there was nothing wrong with letting the governor yamen fight for profit in vain, before the autumn harvest, grain was the most profitable time, but Wang Xingping didn't expect this section, this was his negligence, and the people below didn't ask him, and he thought that if the shopkeeper Ye didn't leave, maybe he would remind him, but no one dared to say a word more if the head of the cabinet changed, it seems that this power really has to be completely grasped in his hands to rest assured.

But in any case, Wang Xingping is still glad that he still has a good hand, which can allow him to have time to think crankily in bed after a busy day.

…………

The warehouse of the Futai in the north corner is surrounded by a low wall, and there are several low earth silos of all sizes in the low wall, the local granaries have always been large and small below, and the ground looks at the low thatched roof and the civil house wall, but the underground is also nearly two zhang deep, so much grain can be contained in this small yard, and it is necessary to know that the granary here is full but it is worth a hundred percent of Guizhou Province.

The inside of the warehouse is paved with blue plaster, and there is a ditch outside, which can avoid fish wetness in ordinary times, and can be absolutely infestation outside, and can also be used for fire fighting in case of fire.

Outside the barn near the main entrance is an empty field, which will be used as a drying place for grain harvesting after farming, and the storehouse is leaning against the side.

When a set of fists and feet came up at noon, a sweat was blown by the wind, and Ding Yi was excited.

"How's my nephew's punch?" He happily showed his skills in front of his uncle, Ding Deshui ran with Wang Xingping for a few days, and only returned here yesterday, and this nephew wanted to show off again.

"It looks good, but it's only not good." Ding Deshui said as he threw a handkerchief.

Ding Yi was not convinced, "Uncle, you always say this, have you ever been in battle?" ”

"I've seen more dead people than you, don't believe it, ask Du Chun and Deng Shishi, they met with other mine owners when they were in Qijiang."

In fact, when it comes to the dead people who have seen it, Ding Deshui naturally has more say, but it was a sad past, and he didn't want to mention it in front of his nephew.

More than ten years ago, Yang Yinglong was paid for his son, and after the rebel army broke the Qijiang River, the whole army and civilians were slaughtered, Ding Deshui was lucky to escape from the pile of dead people with Ding Yi's Laozi, and later had a nephew, and his younger brother died early due to illness, and it was very sad to think about it.

The black thin man named Deng Youke took over the words, "Xiaoyi's skills are good-looking, but Uncle Ding is also right, he really relied on a ruthless word to fight, but he is not as twisted as you, who can use a knife and use fists and feet?" If you have crossbow arrows, it's better. ”

Shang Baozheng, who was fetching water from afar, walked over, but Du Chun on the side pointed at him and smiled at Ding Yi: "Second Brother Shang is a person who can fight, can you see it on weekdays?" ”

Shang Bao snorted lightly when he heard this, and went to chop wood and make a fire again without answering, he always took the initiative to undertake chores, but according to Du Chun, who was most familiar with him, this second brother Shang was a killer, and when he was working alone with the owner of the small furnace, he rushed to kill several times in conflict with the owner of the mine outside, because they were only familiar with Wang Ge, and Ding's uncle and nephew didn't know how much the rest of the people were, but he only recognized that the brothers recruited by Wang Ge were still reliable, and he also instructed him not to think about it.

On the other side of the empty field, a group of people gathered, and there were five or six, the two headed by a sharp-beaked monkey gills, Yang Shunqing with a big hemorrhoid on the left cheek, and the other with a horizontal face but few hairs was Monk Xu. On weekdays, the coolies in the warehouse are all hired separately, and there are only so many people in the warehouse here, and the people living in the north corner are all Hermes-Epitek, and ordinary Tusi people do not dare to come to the edge of Guiyang City to find themselves.

Now everyone who comes to cause trouble knows that they will be treated as a bird in the province, and Gu Fengming himself has some means on the black and white road in Guiyang, plus the Wang family still has connections in the army, so there is no need to worry at all.

After all, the grain is not as good as silver, and the grain scattered in the warehouse is not so easy to carry, unless it is really starving to death, the people and horses of the Tusi Barbarian Department will not come to the attention of the people's warehouse, even if they really want to do something, the official warehouse of the foreign government is much easier to start than the side of Guiyang City.

Originally, there was also a nephew of the Ye family in this warehouse, and this time he also went south with Ye Yiwei, the old Ye shopkeeper didn't go long, and the other two Ye family cronies in the warehouse were also sent by Wang Xingping to listen to other places one after another, Yang Shunqing and Monk Xu thought that this was Gu Fengming's doing, and they were even more sincere to the Gu family in private.

Now that the proprietor has arranged a few furnace households, it is clear that he wants to mix sand, and he is a stranger, how can he be happy? Although they don't talk about it every day, the two groups of people are separated, and the people below are even more afraid of being contaminated, and even the meals are fired separately.

Ding Deshui saw that Ding Yi was still on the rise, and he was also interested.

"If you want to talk about fighting, uncle has to teach you a few tricks, you can try it."

After saying that, Ding Deshui also started his posture, and several others gathered around to join in the fun.

Ding Deshui asked his nephew to try to attack him, and Ding Yi didn't care about his uncle's appearance as usual, but after three or two moves, he changed his mind.

Ding Deshui's skills are naturally there, Ding Yi is not untaught, his uncle has been in the iron smelting for many years, and he can still control people with brute force, but Ding Yi is also young and strong, and he did not suffer a loss in wrestling like this in the past.

But today, I saw that I was struggling, and I was easily restrained by Ding Deshui several times.

After tossing for more than a quarter of an hour, Ding Yi finally admitted defeat, and it happened that Shang Bao also cooked food, and the uncle and nephew and a few villagers sat on the edge of the house to eat and chat.

"Where did Uncle learn these hands? Haven't seen it before. ”

I didn't want Ding Deshui to laugh, but I also laughed, "I didn't expect these moves taught by the young master to be really useful." ”

During this period of time, he has relied on Ding Deshui to restrain several furnace workers, and Wang Xingping has become more and more close to this Uncle Ding, and he is familiar with each other when he goes out to do errands on weekdays. That day, I happened to talk about the thieves I met in Sichuan, and I talked about martial arts. Wang Xingping had the intention to lift Ding Deshui, so he taught him a few tricks of grappling and fighting, all of which he had learned in the army in the past.

For Ding Deshui, he only said that he thought of it randomly after listening to some storytellers on weekdays, but he was short and weak, and he couldn't verify it. Ding Deshui listened to the novelty of the tricks he said, and after trying them privately with Wang Xingping, he felt that they were all real kung fu, so he used it on his nephew today.

Ding Yi was also surprised, "It's rare to see the young master walking and jumping on weekdays, but I didn't expect it to be such a powerful character." ”

Ding Deshui said with a smile: "Actually, although the young master's moves are powerful, they may not be your opponents. ”

Seeing that Ding Yi still didn't understand, Ding Deshui explained as a person who came over, "This fight is still the same thing, although the move is the same, but if you don't have the strength, it will be versatile." ”

"The young master is a person who understands, he said, if you want to fight, you have to learn to be beaten first, you can't carry the fight, someone else will put you down with a punch, no matter how good the move is, it's useless, think about the means I used just now to change a three-year-old child to come again, can you still be held?"

Ding Yi nodded secretly when he heard this, and he was convinced.

also said that Yang Shunqing and Monk Xu over there saw that the uncle and nephew were practicing so well, and they laughed and laughed.

Yang Shunqing said: "Sure enough, they are all unassuming things, and their own people are the first to fight." ”

Monk Xu knew that Yang Shunqing was deliberately arranged, and when he saw that the rest of the people were also eating beside him, he whispered: "Let's see how long they do, so there will be a play tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”

Yang Shunqing felt strange and hurriedly asked, "Xu Liu, what did you hear?" ”

Monk Xu said: "What I heard, it is really the owner who asked for it, I heard that the day before yesterday the owner promised to raise 15,000 stone for the house, for three days, and it will arrive tomorrow." ”

"It's time to give food, isn't it because the government doesn't want to give money?"

Monk Xu smiled sinisterly, "I gave money, but you forgot that there is enough grain in this warehouse?" ”

Yang Shunqing thought about it but became worried, "A few of them are also involved, and it is good that they can't really hand it over tomorrow." ”

Monk Xu didn't care, "Gu Chaofeng is in charge of the warehousing and warehousing, and they are all doing it, what can they do, if there is really anything, there are these goods on top." ”

He didn't think that the young master of the Wang family had the leisure to see if it was millet or straw at the bottom of the warehouse, Gu Fengming was not stupid enough to let people see the problem at a glance, because now the grain in several granaries was still full.

Monk Xu nodded towards Ding Deshui, "They all came when the delivery was made a few days ago. ”

Of course, at that time, Ding Deshui and they were still in shifts, and they often followed Wang Xingping out to inspect iron smelting on weekdays. Of course, this is also Wang Xingping's intention, which is different from the current all-day duty.

Monk Xu was still talking, "It's the owner's business if he can't hand over the grain, and they don't owe him the Wang family when they eat the grain, but if something happens to the owner, these furnace households will also end well, and these rough embryos are the most annoying on weekdays." ”

Although Yang Shunqing is also a close confidant of the Gu family, he is timid after all, so it is good not to listen to Monk Xu first, but he is getting more and more scared when he hears him, and he just sees a person at the door, and immediately diverts the topic.

"Isn't that Little Liu?"

Wang Xiaoliu waited for Wang Xingping to fall asleep and then went out of the city to the north corner, and after wandering for a while, he came to the grain depot, and then he would go to Shuiwo Village to continue to stare at the grain hidden by the Gu family.

Deng Youke had already seen Wang Xiaoliu and greeted him at the door first.

"Why is Little Sixth Brother here now? It's a coincidence, have you eaten it? ”

Usually, Wang Xiaoliu always follows the young master, and it is rare to see him come out alone, and he is still in time for dinner.

Xiao Liu said: "Why don't you want me to come to you to play?" I've eaten it, and I've brought you some by the way. ”

As he spoke, he took out a few kinds of food from the food box he carried, all of which were good dishes for wine, and there were two jars of miscellaneous wine. He found a small jar and a few small dishes and sent them to Yang and Xu.

"The two managers worked hard, and the owner specially asked me to prepare."

Monk Xu put on a smiling face and excused himself, "Where do you dare to serve the little sixth brother." ”

Wang Xiaoliu pretended to scold: "Whatever Brother Xu said, this is all the grace of the owner, how can I deserve your flattery." ”

laughed with the two again, and called a few warehouses around Yang and Xu to eat and drink.

Wang Xiaoliufu turned around and greeted Ding Deshui, the two groups of people were divided into two places to eat wine at the moment, and the wine and food sent by the owner were also two, but they didn't care.

Wang Xiaoliu came back with Wang Xingping from Sichuan, except for Wang Ge, who was familiar with several newly recruited furnace households along the way, so the furnace workers were also nowhere to be seen.

Seeing that the arrangement was almost complete, Wang Xiaoliu got up and said goodbye, saying that he still had an errand to do, so he only accompanied him to eat two glasses of wine, and instructed him to put away the food boxes, cups and plates.

Ding Deshui was alert, and when he saw this, he hurriedly followed him out.

When he arrived at a secluded place outside the door, Ding Deshui took Wang Xiaoliu's hand and said, "Does the owner have any other instructions?" ”

Wang Xiaoliu put away the dignity of the hippie smile and said, "The young master only asked Uncle Ding to restrain the brothers, and he guarded the door for the past two days. ”

"By the way, the young master will make arrangements tomorrow, Uncle Ding just waits in the warehouse."

After saying this, Wang Xiaoliu was really leaving, Ding Deshui looked at his figure heading towards the east of the city, and his heart was inevitably uneasy.
