Later, Bo Yao once asked Fan Li why he decided to hire Kong Ye to take care of the national wine business?

Fan Li said: "Because you need such a person, you Dazai can't come to sell bars in person?" ”

He said, "That's what I said. But if I had to arrange people, I would definitely arrange for the people I trusted most around me to do this. And will not arrange Kong Ye. ”

Fan Li said with a smile: "The people you trust the most are all in the capital Gusu, and Gusu is the most prosperous place in Wu Kingdom, the most enjoyable place, you send a person from the most prosperous place to the most remote and desolate place, in fact, it is equivalent to exile, can he be happy?" Surely you are not happy, can you do good things if you are not happy? ”

Bo Yao nodded: "This is the truth. ”

Fan Li said: "And what about Kong Ye? Because he evaded military service, he was pursued and arrested by the government, and he couldn't even eat during the escape, so it was worth relying on being a thief to survive. Such a person, you suddenly arranged him in the position of the general manager of Wu Guoquyang Dayao Monopoly, isn't he still full of gratitude, and he doesn't have to do everything to do things well? ”

Bo Yao applauded and laughed: "Young Uncle is clever! But I don't know how you can be sure that he is up to the task. ”

Fan Li said: "You mean his ability, right?" First of all, as a martial arts master of Wu State, you wasted some strength to defeat him, which shows that Kong Ye's martial arts are almost among the ranks of first-class masters, which is very important, if he encounters an attack, he can stand alone. Secondly, this matter is very simple, that is, to send and receive two things, to receive wine, to send out wine, to receive grain, and to deliver grain. Things are simple, the accounts are clear, and the third is loyalty, which is a matter of character, and the most important thing is to do so. Kong Ye has these three points, so I am sure he is the best candidate. ”

"How can you be sure that his character is fine?" He's a thief, huh? ”

Fan Li said: "This is something that adults are wrong again. Kong Ye is not a thief, he only did such a thing because he couldn't live anymore. As a thief, he must have accumulated experience as a thief, and in the future, if someone makes trouble in business, it will not be able to hide from him, and his experience as a thief has become a useful ability. ”

Bo Yao couldn't help laughing: "The young uncle sees things from a very tricky angle." ”

Fan Li said: "I'm sure his character is good, because we let him go, he left, came back, what did he do when he came back?" Show gratitude, a person who knows how to be grateful, no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad. ”

Bo Yao nodded and said, "Makes sense!" So how can you be sure that if you let him go, he will definitely come back? ”

Fan Li said: "I can't be sure. I just gambled, and it was a test for him, and he withstood it. ”

"What if he is gone and never looks back?" ”

Fan Li said: "If he doesn't look back, it is his own death, a thief like him, the final result is to be caught and killed, or sent to justice, and we have nothing to lose." We won't get anything out of bringing him to justice, and we won't lose anything if we let him go. Facts have proved that we have done the right thing, isn't Kong Ye doing a very good job in this general distribution? ”

Bo Yao sighed: "Young uncle, working with you can always learn some unexpected knowledge. ”

Fan Li smiled: "My lord praises it." ”

This is a conversation that follows. Let's go back to the scene.

As mentioned above, Fan Li thought that Kong Ye was the best candidate to sell wine, and decided to hire him, and Kong Ye also agreed to work, and the two sides agreed to settle the matter. The matter should be over here, but Fan Li had to chat a few words on a whim, and this chat brought out some unexpected stories.

Fan Li said to Kong Ye: "I'm a little curious, this time we are low-key and don't attract attention, how did you target us?" ”

Kong Ye's face was full of embarrassment: "My lord, this matter is very embarrassing, can you not say it?" ”

Fan Li laughed: "Brother, it's better to be black than to be black, let's talk about it, let us also have a long experience." ”

Bo Yao also smiled and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Zheng Dan also smiled on the side, thinking it was very funny.

Kong Ye said: "Actually, I was eyeing you a day ago. You are indeed very low-key, unremarkable, like ordinary passers-by. But I still see from your demeanor that you are by no means an ordinary person, especially from your temperament, you have a lot of background. ”

Fan Li secretly screamed ashamed, he thought he was well disguised, but he was still seen to be flawed.

Kong Ye said: "At the last station, I didn't have a chance to start, so I followed you for a day, and I finally had a chance tonight." After you stayed in the hotel, I lurked on the ridge of the roof. ”

Fan Li said: "You just lie on the roof and observe us? ”

Kong Ye said: "Yes! ”

Fan Li said: "I'm ashamed, I didn't even find you at all!" ”

Kong Ye said: "I'm sorry, my light skills are still reasonable." I will lie on the roof and watch you. Later, I saw Master Fan Li come out of the house, stand in the courtyard for a while, then open the gate and walk out into the street, and then out of the town. ”

Fan Li said: "I didn't even notice that I was being followed!" If you attacked, I might be doomed. ”

Kong Ye said: "I only want money, never kill people." I saw Master Fan walking out of town, and I thought that the opportunity had come, so I quickly returned to the store and slipped into the adult's room. That's when I heard a voice—"

Fan Li said: "Voice? What was that? ”

Kong Ye happened to be sitting by the partition wall at this time, smiled wryly, raised his hand and knocked, and the partition wall made of wooden planks made a "dong dong" sound, and said: "You see, this wooden wall, no sound can be stopped, I don't know if it's the shopkeeper or someone, who is making love with his wife." ”

Fan Li knew, Kong Ye heard the voices made by Bo Yao and Zheng Dan, he was afraid that Zheng Dan would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly said, "Don't say the sound!" And then what about you? ”

Bo Yao only felt a fever on his face, I grass! He heard it.

But Zheng Dan covered his face and ran out.

Kong Ye said: "I quietly hid in and didn't move, only waiting for no sound, I looked around, but I didn't find anything, so I slipped out, and I was found and caught by Dazai-sama." That's the way it is. ”

Fan Li faintly felt that something was wrong, so he said: "Brother, don't mention this matter to anyone in the future, can you do it?" ”

Kong Ye said: "This is not a glorious thing, I will definitely not say it to anyone." ”

Fan Li said: "Okay, now that it's dawn, we'll have something to eat and go on the road, and we'll arrive at our destination in about a day." Not far from the border, there is a small town called Fuchun. That's where we go. Brother, are you going to come with us now, or are you going to go back and pack up and come back? ”

Kong Ye said: "There are still a few small things in the future, and if you deal with it, you can always do things for adults with peace of mind." ”

Fan Li said: "That's fine, after you finish the matter, come to Fuchun to meet us." ”

Kong Ye stood up and said, "Thank you for the grace of the two adults, Kong Ye will come when he goes." Saying that he was about to kneel down again, Fan Li hurriedly stopped: "Brother, don't be like this." He turned his face to Bo Yao and said, "My lord, you rest, I'll send my brother." ”

Kong Ye bowed deeply to Bo Yao, and then walked out of the store with Fan Li. Fan Li walked and explained to Kong Ye what kind of business this is and how it should be managed.

Sent outside the town, Kong Ye said: "My lord, please go back, as soon as Kong Ye's matter is over, I will go to Fuchun to find you." ”

Kong Ye is gone. Fan Li yawned and didn't sleep all night! Hurriedly returned to the store, only to see Bo Yao greeted him in a panic and said, "Young uncle, go and see, what's wrong with Zheng Dan?" ”
