Some people are always jealous of those who are stronger than themselves, do not wait to see them, and always think about pulling all those who are stronger than themselves off the top, and then trampling them to death. In their eyes, people who are stronger than themselves must have a reason to be stronger than themselves, and sneering at others will only expose their own shortcomings and fears, as well as their weaknesses, and will appear to be like a biting dog.

Yang Fanhua and Wang Fugui belong to the latter, although they are arrogant and think too highly of themselves, but once they are subdued by someone stronger than themselves, then this arrogance will disappear. So the two of them came today, and they were determined to worship the four pots as teachers, saddle up and after the horse, and learn cooking skills.

"Master, you can take us as an apprentice!" Wang Fugui and Yang Fanhua knelt on the ground, refused to get up, and begged: "In the future, we will do what you let us do, and we will never break our word." ”

"No!" Siguo still refused, saying: "Your qualifications are too poor, I can't teach you, go home and wash the farm!" ”

Judging from the four pots, the qualifications of Yang Fanhua and Wang Fugui are really not good, and they are unwilling to deal with them. But Yang Wang and the others refused to give up, they refused to give up, and they blocked in front of several people and refused to let them go, so they wanted to apprentice.

The four pots were anxious, so they scared Yang Wang and the others and said: "If you don't leave, I will kill you, and the skin will be picked!" Unexpectedly, Yang Wang and the others were not afraid, and replied: "Let's fight, let's pick it up, if you don't accept us as disciples, you will kill us, and we won't get up." ”

Li Bai saw that it was not a solution to delay like this, so he opened his mouth and begged for the four pots for Yang Wang and the others: "Fourth Senior Brother, or you will accept them, right?" When I return to Qinglian, I will open a building for you, and let you take them to show their strength and benefit the people. ”

"No!" Siguo didn't want to deal with Li Bai here, just because Li Bai didn't let him go to see the sword dance, so he lost his temper like a three-year-old child, and said, "Unless you let me go to see the sword dance." ”

"This!" Li Bai was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said: "Senior brother, then you see that this can be done, your uncle and I will go first, and the three of you will stay here to watch the sword dance, junior brother, I will wait for you in Sichuan City, how about it?" ”

"Hahaha!" Siguo laughed: "Good! ”

Hearing this, Wu Guide and the Five Ghosts were also happy, as were Yang Fanhua and Wang Fugui. Li Bai was full of helplessness, because in this case, he would have to delay for a few more days before he could rush back to Qinglian, and he would also ask the Buddhist temple to get rid of the demon.

"Come, Fifth Senior Brother, you take this!" Li Bai took two bulging cloth bags from Hou Gui's hands, handed them to the five ghosts, and said, "The silver taels in this red cloth bag on the left should be enough for the three senior brothers to rush to the center of Sichuan City, fifth senior brother, remember not to follow the third senior brother and the fourth senior brother to make trouble." ”

The last sentence Li Bai said very quietly, although he knew that his three senior brothers were playful, they were unreliable. But relatively speaking, if you compare it, then among the unreliable, the five ghosts are the most unreliable. is also afraid that the three of them will go around the wilderness after leaving him, and then it will be troublesome.

"Don't worry, junior brother, we will go to you after watching the sword dance, and there will be no mess." The five ghosts knew what Li Bai was thinking, paused, looked at the cyan cloth bag on the right hand, and asked, "Then what is this cloth bag for?" ”

"Don't we owe some silver?" Li Bai didn't dare to mention Lu Xiaoyu's name, for fear that the five ghosts would make fun of this, and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, you will pay it back by the way, don't owe it to others." ”

After such arrangements were made, Wu Dao, the four pots, and the five ghosts stayed, waiting to see the sword dance at night. Li Bai and Hou Gui drove a carriage, chatted and complained to each other, and rushed to the center of Sichuan City.

There was nothing to say for a while, and after more than two or three days, Li Bai and Hou Gui finally came to Sichuan City to settle down and rest. At this time, the letter bureau sent a person to come to the door to apologize, because the carrier pigeon released by Li Bai was gone, and it was beaten down by a group of children with a slingshot and roasted.

After the exam, after eating, this group of children came to the letter bureau with Li Bai's creed, and said confidently: "Give, your carrier pigeon was eaten by us, but we don't want this letter, return it to you." ”

There are special codes on the creed, such as where it is sent to, or which letter bureau it flies from, and so on. It's just that these codes can only be seen clearly by people in the letter bureau, and others will only think that they are just a special and good-looking pattern, which is meaningless, but in fact it is remarkable.

Therefore, when the group of children delivered the letter to the letter office, the people inside immediately knew where the pigeon had been shot down. So he refilled it and released a pigeon to continue the message.

For people like this group of children, the people of the letter bureau are very headaches and disgusted. But there is no way, the letter bureau can't do anything to them, even if they are not children, they can't blame them, scold them, beat them, but have to thank them.

Since ancient times, credit has determined a person's wealth. There is competition in any industry, and the letter bureau is no exception, only with a good reputation, will it win the trust and love of the people, and it will also make money.

As the saying goes, there are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom.

In order to deal with all kinds of accidents in the process of transmitting letters, the letter bureau came up with many methods. For example, this group of children, it doesn't matter if they shoot down the carrier pigeon, it doesn't matter if they eat it, but they have to return the letter to the letter bureau in exchange for the reward they deserve.

This is also the reason why this group of children still believe.

The Shinji also knew that many of the people who shot down the carrier pigeons did not mean it, so they set up this system. Most people will not be idle to do nothing to hunt carrier pigeons, after all, this practice is very unauthentic, and everyone has a time when they are in a hurry.

But of course, just like what Wu Guide once said to Li Bai, he said: 'No matter what dynasty or place, there are so many scum. ’

This is true, there is only such a group of people who are full of food and support, and they don't do anything right, so they make a living by hitting carrier pigeons, and then going to the letter bureau to exchange rewards. This is a great headache for the letter bureau, and a good thing has been exploited like this.

The only good thing is that there are not many such people, only a very small part. The letter bureau is not the lord who is angry, and if you know who such a lord is, you can spend some money to invite some people, and find a secluded place to cover your head is a severe beating.

After the people from the Chuancheng Information Bureau received the carrier pigeon, they saw that the letter was sent to the Li family's firm, and they immediately knew that they were slacking. Because the Li family's business has been very strong over the years, except for the salt shop, other businesses are involved, and they have spread all over the Tang Dynasty.

And the letter bureau is actually just a branch, a branch of the dart line. The Li family's business needs a dart store to escort all kinds of goods, but the Li family has only one person, but there are many dart shops.

The people from the letter bureau saw that this was a letter sent to the Li family's firm, and when they saw that the letter had been delayed in the process of delivery, they didn't say a word, and immediately came to the door to apologize. Again, no one is a fool, everything is driven by interests.

After arriving at Sichuan City and stopping, Li Bai kept waiting for Wu Guide, the four pots and the five ghosts, but unexpectedly, four days had passed, and the three of them were still nowhere to be seen and did not come. Li Bai was so anxious that he said that he shouldn't let the three of them go, it was too unreliable.

Li Bai sent a number of people along the road to look for them, thinking that they were lost, and for fear that they would be detained by others because of what happened to them on the road. As a result, another four or five days passed, and the three of them still didn't come back, and there was not even the slightest shadow or clue.

The people sent out all found the drunken flower building, and when they inquired, they said that the three of them left the next day after watching the sword dance, and they didn't know where to go. After Li Bai heard the news, he regretted that he had not done it at the beginning, and he knew exactly where these three people must have gone, so he sent more people to find it.

Another four or five days later......

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Li Bai hurriedly asked Hou Gui, who had just come back from outside, and said, "How many of my senior brothers have clues?" ”

"No young master!" Hou Gui shook his head, raised his hand to signal Li Bai not to be anxious, sat down and said, "I have searched all the people along the road, and some people say that they did see three people dressed differently, who came to the center of Sichuan City, but we didn't see half a figure when we went. ”

"Alas! They shouldn't have been allowed to watch the sword dance. Li Bai's face was full of remorse, it was not the first time he had said this to Hou Gui, and he said anxiously: "It's been delayed for half a month, alas! ”

"Young master, don't worry!" Hou Gui flipped over the teacups on the table, drank a cup each, and then continued: "The three little masters are not children anymore, they should be free to measure, and you can't stop them, right?" ”

"Yes, they're not children anymore!" Li Bai: "It's because they've lived too long that I'm worried." ”

"Oh!" Hou Gui didn't know that Wu Gui, the four pots, and the five ghosts were already old elves, so he asked, "Young master, how can you say this?" ”

"They've ...... Alas! Li Bai swallowed back when he came to his mouth, knowing that he couldn't say three or two sentences clearly, and he was annoyed now, so he didn't want to mention them again, so he said: "Uncle No, this matter is a long story, after returning to Qinglian, let's talk with you and my father!" ”

"Young Master, you really don't need to be in a hurry." Hou Gui didn't continue to dwell on that issue, but comforted Li Bai and said: "This time, young master, you came back a little suddenly, and no one was prepared, otherwise, the master would not have gone out to run a business more than two months ago." ”

"Alas! Uncle, I really want to see my mother soon, I want to see you right away! Li Baisi was affectionate and said, "I'm worried about her health, and I want to take the fourth senior brother to see it soon." ”

"Young master, don't worry about it." Hou Gui continued to appease and said, "Didn't you say that you released a carrier pigeon?" Rest assured, nothing will happen to this one, and the letter will be brought to Madame. According to the hour, Madame should have known that you were back, and she would be happy! ”

"I hope so!" Li Bai knew that Hou Gui was comforting himself, and he also knew that it was useless for him to be anxious, so he slowly calmed down.

At this moment, a person suddenly ran in from outside the house, one of the four young entourages, holding a letter in his hand, and first said hello: "Young master, uncle! Then he said to Li Bai: "To the young master, you have a letter, please accept it." ”

"Letter?" Li Bai was stunned: "Who sent it?" ”

"Back to the young master!" The attendant shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Li Bai took the letter and began to open it, while Hou Gui waved his hand and motioned for the young entourage to go out and get busy. The attendant was very knowledgeable, did not speak, and turned around and left after giving a salute.

And Li Bai didn't read this letter, but when he saw it, Dengjian was even more angry. Holding the letter in his hand, he slammed it on the table with a 'snap', resounding in his ears. At this time, Hou Gui was picking up the teacup and wanted to take a sip of tea, but as soon as he put the tea in his mouth and didn't wait to swallow it, he was suddenly squirted out with a 'poof'.

"Humph!" Li Bai: "I'm so angry!" ”

"What, what's the matter, young master?" Hou Gui wiped his mouth and asked, "Why are you so angry all of a sudden?" ”

"Look, uncle." Li Bai handed the letter in his hand to Hou Gui and said, "Hmph! I'm! ”

Hou Gui didn't speak in a hurry, and took the letter and read it carefully. Deng, I saw that this letter was not sent by Wu Guide, Siguo and Five Ghosts, but the shopkeeper of Zuihualou. There was one thing above, saying that Wu Gui and they borrowed some silver taels from the shopkeeper of Zuihualou, no more, no less, a full two hundred and forty taels.

They didn't borrow so much at first, it was ten taels or twenty taels, and they borrowed it on top of each other. And after Wu Gui and they borrowed the silver taels, they didn't do their business, and actually took the silver taels to gamble in the gambling house amnesty of the official family, and they all lost.

After losing it all, Wu Guide and the others recorded the account on Li Bai's head and asked the shopkeeper to ask Li Bai for it. Therefore, this letter was specially to urge Li Bai to repay the money, saying that he would send 240 taels back to others as soon as possible.

"Young Master, don't be angry!" Hou Gui comforted Li Bai and said: "The three little masters are young and vigorous, and they have just left the master's door, so they must be in a panic, so they will gamble with others for a while." ”

"Them?" Li Bai: "Young and vigorous? ”

"Not really!" Hou Gui couldn't understand what Li Bai's expression meant, and thought it was useful, so he continued: "Young master, young man, impetuousness is inevitable, this is understandable. ”

"Alas!" Li Bai lowered his head suddenly: "Forget it!" ”

"Young master, you take a break first, we have to settle the accounts owed to others first." As he spoke, Hou Gui shouted outside: "Ergou, come in!" ”

Soon, the young entourage walked in and asked, "Young master, uncle, what is the send?" ”

"Here, take this!" Hou Gui handed the letter in his hand to the young entourage named 'Ergou' and instructed: "According to the address and number above, go to the account office to get enough silver taels, and return it!" ”

"Yes!" Ergou: "I'll do it!" ”

"Wait a minute!" Ergou was just about to leave, but Li Bai stopped him suddenly, as if he had thought of something.

"Young Master." Ergou: "What else is there to send?" ”

"Something suddenly occurred to me." Li Bai thought thoughtfully, turned to look at Hou Gui, and asked, "Uncle Gui, didn't you just say that someone saw the three of them?" ”

"Yes, young master, someone saw the three of them." Hou Gui's face was full of doubts, and he replied, "But I don't know where they went." ”

"Uncle Gui." Li Bai: "I think there are two people who should know where they went. ”

"Oh?" Hou Gui: "Which two?" "Hundred Plating" Poetry Immortal Sword Preface Claw Book House The latest chapter is free to read for the first time.
