In many cases, the person who chews the root of the tongue is not terrible, but the person who chews the root of the tongue is terrible - it seems that this "tradition" has existed for thousands of years.

Since a few large families in Guwei sent food to the gendarmerie, Ding Facai, and Liu Shanxiu came back unscathed, except for those who died in vain, the whole thing seems to have come to an end. But for the Ding family and the Liu family, the story has just begun.

I don't know when these words have been circulating in the village:

"You see, in just a little time, a few girls have been spoiled by the Japanese, and the little girls of the Liu family have been detained by the Japanese for a day and a night, and it is estimated that I don't know how many people have been spoiled!"

"That's right! They didn't dare to come back during the day that day, and only came back secretly at night, for fear of seeing her being ravaged! ”

"It's really shameless, it's all a little broken shoe, and the face is back!"

"She has disgraced the faces of our village!"

"The Liu family and the Ding family are all set, and the Ding family asked for a small broken shoe, but I don't know yet!" ......

Subsequently, all kinds of gossip were endless, and there was a tendency to become more and more outrageous, and some people even said that the little girl of the Liu family promised to be a little woman of the Japanese. Steward Ding and Steward Liu retorted vigorously: "You guys are talking nonsense! When they come out, everything is fine! ”

"You saw it when you came out, and what did you see when you locked it up? I've been locked up for a day and a night, and I haven't been ravaged by the Japanese, what did you see? The two housekeepers were speechless by some people in the village.

These words slowly reached the ears of Master Ding and Master Liu.

Master Liu discussed with his wife: "Well, the daughter of the family is naturally innocent, but as the saying goes, people are terrible, after such a fuss, there are many people who chew the root of the tongue, I think it is better to go to Ding's house as soon as possible to discuss, and marry Shanxiu as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night!" ”

"Hmm, I won't marry Ding Facai if I die! I'm not afraid of crooked shadows, so I'm not afraid of people wearing small shoes for me! ”

As soon as Liu Shanxiu finished speaking, her mother said: "Little girl, what do you know, you are not afraid, but someone chews the root of the tongue every day, if the Ding family believes the nonsense said by others, I'm afraid his family doesn't have to you!" The most important thing for a woman is chastity, once it is gone, it is worthless! Don't fool around, hurry up and get married to Ding Facai, and go to his house, it's better than going to a poor family! ”

Mrs. Liu's worries were indeed fulfilled, and the Ding family naturally heard all kinds of rumors in the village and had their own considerations.

Master Ding and his wife discussed: "These things, I would rather believe them than believe them, whether they are true or not, if you marry the little girl of the Liu family, I am afraid that the son of the family will be laughed at by others for the rest of his life!" I think it's better to find an excuse and return this family! ”

Mrs. Ding also chimed in: "Yes, we can't afford to lose this person!" ”

Hearing this, Ding Facai immediately jumped up: "Liu Shanxiu was locked up next to me that day, I don't know if anyone is going!" Those people are just chewing maggots! I'm going to marry her alone, and if you quit your family, I'll leave immediately, and I won't come back for the rest of my life!" ”

Master Ding was so angry that he scolded: "What do you little rabbit know, don't you know it's all good for you, people are terrible, what's the use of you just saying it yourself?" It's not enough for people to chew the root of their tongue! I can't afford to lose this person! You're leaving, hurry up and get out, I won't pull you! ”

The next day, Master Liu really went to Ding's house and happily discussed the matter of passing through the door as soon as possible, which made Ding Facai very happy, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and he finally looked forward to this day.

But just when Master Liu was full of joy, Master Ding said: "Brother Liu, it stands to reason that you don't want to get rich and marry your daughter, and you have to marry earlier, but you see that the family is rich, a coward, and a dull mind, useless, and scared when he was caught by the Japanese devils, I think he is not worthy of your daughter, I don't want to delay your family's mountain show, I think this family business is still retired......

These words were like a basin of cold water, but Master Liu still wanted to fight for it: "Brother Ding, how can you say that your family is rich?" I think this kid is good, I don't think it's good to have a good family, Shanxiu grew up with him since he was a child, the two of them can be described as childhood sweethearts, and this pro has been decided, now say that it is quit, I'm afraid it's not appropriate! ”

Master Ding took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Brother Liu, then forgive me for being straightforward, I guess you have heard what others say about your daughter, right?" My Ding family can't afford to lose this person! ”

"In that case, then I will take my leave!" Master Liu consciously entangled further, I am afraid that he will lose his identity, and don't say that his daughter is innocent, even if there is really something, with his identity and his daughter's iconic appearance, there are more people who want to marry his daughter, why bother to beg others to marry his daughter here, and be insulted like this!

When Master Liu left, Ding Facai was completely desperate, and in a fit of anger, he really left home, fooling around in Banpu and Xinpu all day long, and never returned home since.

Some people are sad and some people are happy, I heard that this family business has been retired, and the happiest is Liu Shanxiu.

However, the root of the tongue in the village didn't seem to have been chewed yet, and soon it was rumored that the Ding family had confirmed that the Liu family girl was a broken shoe, otherwise why would she have returned the family affair? In the eyes of these people, the Ding family withdrew from this family business, and they confirmed that Liu Shanxiu had been ruined by the Japanese, so "little broken shoes" and "shameless" became the labels of Liu Shanxiu for a while.

Liu Shanxiu doesn't care about these slanders, and "the body is not afraid of crooked shadows" has become her mantra. But Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu were anxious, they knew that they had heard more of these rumors, and there were more people who believed in them, so they had to think of marrying their daughters away quickly. The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for your reputation.

They shouted to their little daughter: "Shanxiu, you see that you are nineteen years old this year, you have to put it aside, the little beard is several years old, and now everyone in the village is talking nonsense about you, we are worried that the older you get, the more difficult it will be to marry!" ”

"Yes, girl, this time I have discussed with you, first ask which family you want to marry?" Suddenly hearing this question, Liu Shanxiu was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and said, "I ......, I want to marry Brother Shizhu!" "It's a very small voice, and you can't hear it if you don't pay attention to it.

Subsequently, Mr. Liu and his wife discussed it again, and felt that although the Shi family was a single-family family, the conditions were acceptable, and it was much better than other families, and Shizhu had a good character, and he also got a good job in Banpu. So, on this day, Master Liu took advantage of the time when the stone pillar came back in the evening and asked the housekeeper to go to his house to find out.

When Steward Liu arrived, Shi Zhu was eating, and Shi Yu warmly beckoned him to sit down: "Steward Liu, why do you have time to come here today?" What a rarity! "Shi Yu's family knows that these big families, even if they are followers, generally don't come to the poor people's houses casually, and tonight Steward Liu will come over in person, there must be something serious.

"Old sister-in-law, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace! Now that I'm here, I'm not going to beat around the bush, what do you think of the little girl of the Liu family? ”

"You mean Shanxiu? This girl is good, handsome, quiet, and has gone to school, and is knowledgeable! I've been hearing Zhuang Shangren gossip about her this and that kind these days, anyway, Zhuzi and I never believe it! ”

Steward Liu continued: "Then I'll make it clear, it was actually my lord who asked me to come, and he intended to marry Shanxiu to your pillar, I don't know what the old sister-in-law thinks?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Zhu almost didn't swallow a mouthful of food, and Shi Yu's family was also surprised, they thought that Steward Liu had come for the various slanders that the villagers had recently made against Liu Shanxiu, but they didn't expect that they came for her marriage, and the dignified owner's family took the initiative to marry his own daughter to a poor family, which was really unbelievable. However, Shi Yushi instantly understood the bend in it.

Shi Yushi really likes Liu Shanxiu very much, and can't bear to see the little girl sad, but she is by no means a person who betrays her promises, after being surprised, she said to Steward Liu without thinking: "I really like that child in Shanxiu, but our two families are not the right household, and you may not know, when I went to Yongcheng thirteen years ago, my pillar and the Yamashita family made a baby kiss, although I haven't been to the house again all these years, and I don't know what is going on with the family now, but before the matter has no result, I must not do that treacherous thing, Please also ask Mr. Liu to understand! ”

Steward Liu was silent for a moment, and then arched his hand and said: "Old sister-in-law, since this is the case, I also understand, so I will go back and tell the master!" After Steward Liu left, Shi Yushi shook his head and sighed: "Shanxiu, this child, it's a pity to meet this world!" When Shi Zhu heard this, he could only smile bitterly.

After learning of this result, Liu Shan Xiu's heart was broken, and he dripped blood, hiding in his room and crying all night. She thought that Shi Zhu would readily agree to this family business, but it didn't come to pass, it was just wishful thinking, and the beautiful pictures she had once imagined in her mind were now all in vain, and they were blown by the wind and immediately dissipated without a trace.

Liu Shanxiu thought of the gossip said by the people in the village again, and all thoughts were already gray at the moment, and even at that moment, she even had the idea of committing suicide, but this was by no means her character.

Early the next morning, Liu Shanxiu resolutely said to her father: "Hmm, I want to go for a walk in the distance!" ”

When Master Liu heard this, he agreed without hesitation, although he didn't know what "going for a walk" meant, he only thought that his daughter wanted to go out for a walk, and he would come back in a few days.

The next day, Liu Shanxiu packed her luggage, brought some money, said goodbye to her parents, went to Xinpu Railway Station to get a ticket, and got on the train for the first time in her life, realizing her former dream - at that time, she was sitting next to the stone pillar and dreaming.

Since then, no one has seen Liu Shan Xiu again, and no one knows where she went or what she did until many years later.

This incident doesn't seem to have an impact on Shizhu, he goes to work as usual, and rides that bicycle here and there as usual, but every time he closes his eyes, he often thinks of Liu Shanxiu, but at this time he can only smile bitterly in his heart, after all, the two of them are not fellow travelers, but they have some past intersections in their lives. He still has his own things to do, his own way to go, and his own life to go on.

As soon as summer passed and autumn came, and by the time the leaves on the trees had fallen, the stone pillars had already put on thick cotton jackets.

This morning, Young Master Wang called Shi Zhu over and said, "Director Shi, there are some goods to be sent to Xinpu 'Drunken Immortal Building' today, you can go there yourself." After delivery, you go to the 'Xinpu grocery store', the bookkeeper will settle an account for you, and then you take the money to the Hutongkou gold shopkeeper to buy car salt back, go back quickly, we are waiting for the salt to be used in a hurry! ”

After receiving the order, Shizhu immediately packed the goods and took his buddy Gong Bangmallet to Xinpu together.

Deliveries, money, and salt were all in order, and they immediately drove the wagon back to Banpo. As soon as they left the Democracy Intersection, they saw a small group of gun-carrying men approaching, dressed in police clothes.

As soon as those people saw the salt on the stone pillar cart, they stopped the way without saying a word: "The cart is loaded with private salt, right?" Come with us! ”

When Shizhu saw that people were surrounding, he stopped in front of the carriage and scolded, "What do you want to do? Why do you say that the salt in my car is illicit? Do you dare to touch my things if you know who our owner is? Whether it is private salt or not, you will know when you go to the gold shopkeeper's house and ask! ”

At this time, one of the policemen pushed the stone pillar away and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't care who you are, say that you are private salt, you are private salt!" Come with us honestly, otherwise, even you and the car will be detained! With that, the men came up and insisted on pulling away the carriage of the stone pillar.

Where was Shizhu willing to follow, and when he saw that the policemen were going to rob his carriage, he immediately made every effort and pulled one of them to the ground. Seeing this, the next few people all came up and wanted to knock down the stone pillar, but these policemen were his opponents, kicking, tripping, pushing, fanning, kicking, dividing three times by two, and after only a while, four people were already knocked to the ground.

The two people in the back saw that the stone pillar was not mortal, and they were afraid that they would suffer if they fought hard, so they didn't dare to move forward, so they picked up their guns, pointed at the stone pillar and said, "Don't move, if you move again, I'll shoot!" ”

Shi Zhu saw the muzzles of the two black holes pointed at him, so he did not rush forward again. After a cadre of policemen on the ground got up, they immediately tied up the stone pillars, and they all cursed and cursed in their mouths, even Gong Bang mallet go, only hated that they hadn't lit the gun earlier.

At this time, there was already a circle of people watching the lively people on the side of the road, and everyone was talking about it. The leading policeman shouted at the surrounding crowd: "Don't look at it, the salt police are handling the case, everyone should do what they want!" As soon as the words fell, the people around them dispersed.

This group of policemen escorted the stone pillar, and after walking a short distance, they saw a person running in the distance, also wearing the uniform of the salt police team. When he got closer, the man beckoned and said, "Captain Yu, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" ”

The leader saw the person and said, "Hey, isn't this Captain Zhou?" You don't rest today, why are you running here? ”

The man then pulled the captain aside and whispered, "Captain Yu, this man is my brother, do you know whose guy he is?" ”

"Who's from it?"

"He's doing things for the Banpu Wang family! We can't afford to mess with it! Do you think this will work, I have some money here, so I should pay compensation to the brothers, Captain Yu let the people go and took the brothers to a bowl of bars? Immediately, the man took out some silver dollars and stuffed them into Captain Yu's hand.

Captain Yu took the money and shook it in his hand, thought for a while, and said, "Cheng, I'll give you a face today!" With that, he turned to his men again, "Brothers, untie the ropes, let's go!" ”

After a few salt policemen left, Shi Zhu said to the visitor, "Thank you brother for your help today, otherwise we will get into trouble again." Dare to ask where Captain Zhou is from? It feels familiar, but I can't remember it for a while. ”

The man laughed at the stone pillar and said, "Brother Shizhu, you really don't know me?" What a noble person forgets things! Think again! ”

Shi Zhu looked at it carefully for a while, and there were two inconspicuous dimples at the corners of the man's mouth, so he exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, isn't this Brother Zhou Xiang!" Look at me, I really didn't see it in this outfit, I'm really sorry! But Brother Zhou Xiang, aren't you in the 112nd Division, why are you here? Still dressed like this? ”

This person is Zhou Xiang, that is, the younger brother of Zhou Ji, the driver of Zeng Xiqi, when he was in the ruins, Shizhu would often see him with his brother Zhou Ji, and the two had greeted each other a few times.

Zhou Xiang shook his head, and said to Shi Zhu with a sigh: "Brother Shi Zhu, this matter is a long story, I was originally in the 112th Division, but I was bitten by a bullet when I was blocking the devil at the tip of the mast, and I lay down for a long time. Later, wasn't the division headquarters ordered to withdraw from Haizhou to aid the Wuhan battlefield, and my leg wound was not healed, so I stayed. Later, he and a few brothers were assigned to the guerrilla Eighth Army under Commander Zeng, but within a few days the Eighth Army broke out in internal strife, and then it was disbanded, and some of them were incorporated into the Eighty-ninth Army, and the rest became salt policemen like me. I didn't think that at the beginning of last year, the devils attacked Haizhou City, and we, the salt police, had to do things for the Japanese, so that now people don't look like people and ghosts! Alas! But who wants to! ”

After hearing this, Shi Zhu nodded slightly and said, "So that's the case!" Thank you so much for Brother Zhou Xiang for breaking the siege today! ”

Zhou Xiang said: "Where is it, you and I are old acquaintances, don't worry about this little thing." I heard that you helped the Wang family in the 'Banpu Vinegar Factory', and today I was also wandering on the street and happened to meet it! Then Zhou Ji was slightly puzzled, "But it's strange to say, just now Captain Yu, he is the cousin-in-law of Shen Liyan, the son-in-law of your vinegar factory Boss Wang, it stands to reason that he should know the car of your vinegar factory, and it is the first time I have seen him embarrassed you!" ”

Hearing this, Shi Zhu seemed to have figured out a lot of things all along, but it was inconvenient to reveal too much to Zhou Ji, so he only said, "Is it?" I don't know! Maybe he hasn't seen me! It's all a misunderstanding! Then, Shi Zhu looked up at the sun in the west, "Brother Zhou Xiang, I'm really sorry today, I'm delayed by this matter, you see it's not early, I have to hurry up and pull this cart of salt back, wait for it, I'm afraid I will be punished by the owner if I go late." I can't ask you to sit down to express my gratitude this time, but I will definitely come to you next time and thank you! ”

Zhou Xiang said: "Brother Shizhu, this is the outside!" It's important to get down to business, so go back quickly. If you want to find me conveniently, just go directly to the salt police compound in Yanhe Lane. ”

After saying goodbye to Zhou Xiang, Shi Zhu and Gong Bang immediately drove the carriage to Banpu and galloped away, not daring to rest all the way, but fortunately they rushed back in time and did not delay the use of salt, and then Shi Zhu explained the situation to Master Wang.

Although the matter has been successfully resolved, Shizhu recalled what Zhou Ji said, and thought of the gangsters who blocked the road when he went to Yilu Mountain last year, and then his bicycle was deflated many times, and then he was accurately stopped by the salt police when he came back from pulling salt today.

"You have to let this person show up on the spot, otherwise there will be trouble in the future!" Shi Zhu thought about it and decided to take the initiative. But if this matter is to be done, it must be approved by Master Wang himself, so on this day, Shi Zhu took Master Wang to inspect the factory, found an opportunity, and went to him alone.

After concisely reporting various things to Master Wang, Shi Zhu said again: "Master Wang, take the incident of going to Yilu Mountain to fetch spring water last year, there were no less than 20 people blocking the road at that time, but there were very few other people who went to fetch water, and that group of people seemed to be waiting for the car of our vinegar factory. The people I met with the Salt Police on Xinpu Street a few days ago were the same, and it seemed that they were prepared for a long time, as if they were waiting for us there! ”

Master Wang took a few puffs of hookah and thought for a while: "It's really a little strange to hear you say this!" But nothing like this has ever happened in the vinegar factory before......"

Of course, Shi Zhu understood the meaning of Master Wang's words, and said unhurriedly: "Master Wang, according to my judgment, these are all people coming at me, not for the vinegar factory, but you think, for me alone, the consequence of these things is to make the vinegar factory suffer losses!" If this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that there will be an incident in the future, which will be unfavorable to the vinegar factory after all! ”

"In your opinion, who is this stumbling man? And how to deal with it? ”

Shi Zhu had already guessed who it was in his heart, but he was an understanding person, and said: "I don't dare to guess without evidence, but we can find a way to set up a game and let this person fall into the net!" Then, he lowered his voice and said his plan like this, just waiting for Master Wang to nod.

Master Wang was unequivocal this time, put down the hookah, and said, "Okay, just do as you say!" But this game can't be set up in a moment, and you still need to wait for the right time! You also have to be extra careful at this time, and be careful of being taken advantage of by this stumbling person again! ”

"Thank you Master Wang for your concern, I must be extra careful!" After that, Shizhu went out and continued to work.

After the Japanese spend Christmas and New Year in China, the Chinese also began to prepare for the Spring Festival under the noses of the Japanese. Just after Laba, Xiao Han came to the factory again on this day, sent someone to find the stone pillar, and after some instructions, the stone pillar drove the carriage alone and brought four large wooden barrels out of the city. When I came back in the afternoon, the barrel seemed to be full, not as dangling as it had been when I went out, and it smelled of wine when I got closer.

After arriving at the warehouse, Mr. Wang asked the stone pillar to pick up a special place to put the wooden barrels side by side, and said in front of the workers: "This is filled with alcohol, the factory intends to try to produce the rare wine vinegar on the market, and now the situation is tight, this is a lot of effort to buy from the Japanese, you need to send someone to be optimistic, not to slack off, not to use an open flame, if there is any mistake, I remove your supervisor!" ”

In less than a day, the news of the factory's plan to produce wine vinegar spread, and Shizhu also sent people to guard it day and night, and no one was allowed to approach without permission. Needless to say, there are a lot of people coming and going in the warehouse during the day, and there is no need for special guards. At night, Shizhu deliberately arranged for two people to take turns to guard, one on duty in the first half of the night and one in the second half of the night.

On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, because it was the day of Manjushri's enlightenment, and the next day was a small year, Master Wang felt that it was a good day, so he arranged for the factory to have a meal together on this day every year, and the place was arranged in the canteen. Before the sun set, everyone went one after another.

On this day, Master Wang naturally had to be there in person, because he came with a purpose. When everyone was chatting before the banquet began, Master Wang heard someone at the next table whispering:

"You say, everyone in the factory is here, only this old high can't come, is it angry or not?"

"Yes! However, Lao Gao is on duty to look at the warehouse today, and those barrels of alcohol are expensive things, and they must not be sloppy! ”

"What, it's been more than ten days since I bought this alcohol, and it hasn't been used yet, so I have to waste manpower looking at it in vain!"

"That's right, there are already few people in the warehouse, and it's even more nervous to be tossed like this! The key is that Lao Gao can't come tonight because of this matter, you say you are not wronged! ”

After listening to these conversations, Master Wang called Shi Zhu in front of him and asked, "Director Shi, why didn't the people on duty in the warehouse come at night?" Shi Zhu said respectfully: "Master Wang, aren't there four barrels of alcohol in the warehouse, I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, the factory will lose a lot, so I send people to guard it day and night, don't dare to be careless, and the people on duty tonight won't let me come!" ”

"Director Shi, it's rare for everyone to get together tonight, you should call him over, and then go back to duty after eating, just at this time, there will be no problem with measuring it, but you can't drink too much wine!"

"Okay, Master Wang, I'll call Lao Gao!" Then Shi Zhu asked Gong Bang to go to the warehouse.

After two glasses of wine, people kept leaving the table to toast at this table and that table, during which people came and went, and no one paid attention to many details during the period.

At this time, Master Wang took the opportunity of the stone pillar to come to toast and whispered: "Director Shi, in the past few days, you have sent people to guard the treasury day and night, and you have no way to start with the person who stumbles on you, tonight the person is withdrawn, it is a rare opportunity, I estimate that this person will take this opportunity to do it, you and I might as well quietly go to the warehouse to see who it is!" ”

Although Shi Zhu drank a few glasses of wine, but his mind was very clear, Master Wang may not know who the person who made the stumbling was, but Shi Zhu already knew in his heart, and he also had his own considerations, so he said to Master Wang: "Master Wang, look, you are the protagonist today, if you leave the table at this moment, it will inevitably attract the attention of others, and I am afraid that it is impossible to enter the warehouse quietly." Do you think this will work, or will I go with the eldest young master? ”

After Master Wang nodded, Shi Zhu and Master Wang took advantage of the noise and quietly entered the warehouse through the side door.

At the same time, there was also a figure, silently left the table, under the cover of night, came to the side door of the warehouse, actually took out the key from his waist, opened a crack in the door and got into the warehouse, and then poked his head out of the door to check, and saw that no one saw it, so he slowly closed the door.

I saw that the man knew the location of the warehouse well, walked straight to the alcohol barrel in the dark, took out a dagger from his waist, touched it with his hand, and saw the gap between the wood and inserted it directly, and then the alcohol in the barrel slowly flowed out of the small opening. After all four barrels had been destroyed, the man put away his dagger and took a few steps back, a sly smile on his face.

Just as the man was about to leave, the lights in the warehouse suddenly turned on, and Shi Zhu and Young Master Wang also walked out of the corner.

The man thought that the god was unaware, but who expected that he would be seen clearly in the corner, and he was at a loss for a while, and subconsciously blocked his eyes with his hand and shouted: "Who? ”

Young Master Wang scolded at this time: "Shen Liyan, I really didn't expect that it was you!" In vain, you have been in the factory for more than 20 years, and you have done such dirty things! ”

"It's you!" Shen Liyan saw that the matter had been revealed, so he actually pulled out a dagger from his waist, patted it lightly on his hand, and said with a slight threat: "Since you have seen it, are you not afraid that I will kill you?" ”

Shi Zhu sneered: "It's ridiculous! Don't say that you are alone, even if there are ten or eight more, you can't help us! ”

"Shen Liyan, stop talking nonsense! Why on earth are you doing such a thing? ”

"Why? It's not all you! I, Shen Liyan, am also the son-in-law of your Wang family, and I have been in the factory for more than 20 years, but in the end, the old man only gave me a broken workshop director. And this surnamed Shi will give him a position as a warehouse and freight supervisor as soon as he comes, why? I'm not convinced, I just want him to retreat! ”

"Why? Just by saying such a small belly and chicken intestines just now, it is enough to show that you can't be entrusted with important tasks! You have been in the factory for a long time, but since you became the son-in-law of our Wang family, you don't want to make progress, and you want to be promoted in the vinegar factory with this identity? Don't even think about it! We want people with real skills! ”

"What are you talking about! Now that the alcohol is dripping, what if you catch me? At that time, the old man will not be condemned for a crime of dereliction of duty surnamed Shi! ”

Hearing Shen Liyan say this, Young Master Wang and Shi Zhu both laughed, and then Young Master Wang said: "Shen Liyan, you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!" It was pitch black in the warehouse just now, you can't see it, haven't you smelled it? ”

Just now, Shen Liyan just wanted to puncture the wooden barrel as soon as possible, and drank two glasses of wine, but he really didn't pay attention to this detail in a hurry, and when he heard his brother-in-law say this, he hurriedly stepped forward and sniffed it carefully-where is the alcohol in the barrel, it is clearly water!

It turned out that this was all a plan made by Master Wang and Shizhu, and that day Shizhu was actually dragged back after leaving the city according to his orders, but he poured some wine outside the barrel, which made people smell like alcohol. Then Shi Zhu sent someone to watch the warehouse day and night, so that Shen Liyan was convinced that the barrel was filled with alcohol. Tonight, Master Wang deliberately sold a flaw again, and took the opportunity to remove the people who were watching the warehouse, so that the people who stumbled would take the bait.

"Fooled! You, how do you make calculations against me! Shen Liyan was angry first.

Young Master Wang said, "Otherwise, how can I find you out!" ”

At this time, Shen Liyan sighed and said, "Since this is the case, I have nothing to say!" Kill or chop, whatever you want! ”

This made it difficult for Young Master Wang, after all, Shen Liyan was his sister-in-law, if he did it, he was afraid that his sister would be sad, if he didn't do it, how would this scene be cleaned up? It's not easy to explain to my father by myself. After thinking about it, he only came up with one sentence in the end: "Director Shi, I think it's up to you to decide how to deal with this matter!" ”

Shi Zhu already knew about this matter, and he first said to Shen Liyan: "That's good! Let me ask you, did you notify the gangsters blocking the road on Yilu Mountain and the gang of salt policemen on Xinpu Street? There are all kinds of other small actions against me, did you do it? ”

"One person does things and one person does! That's right, I Shen Liyan did it! Why, you know everything? ”

"You're kind of something! Let me tell you the truth, I have long suspected that it was you, but there is no evidence, and I dare not say anything, so I asked Master Wang to make a plan, just waiting for you to send it to the door yourself! When he was in the dining hall just now, Master Wang wanted to come and see who it was in person, but I was worried that seeing you would not only make him feel cold and disturb his old man's Yaxing tonight, but also see his son-in-law doing such a dirty thing, and his old man couldn't get over his face, so I suggested coming over with the eldest young master. After that, Shi Zhu said to Master Wang again: "Young Master, in the final analysis, these are your family affairs, I don't want to drive Director Shen out of the vinegar factory, as long as he can promise not to stumble me in the future, then only you and I know about tonight's affairs, if not, then don't blame me!" As for what Master Wang said, I won't ask! ”

With that, Shizhu left the warehouse, returned to the dining hall, and continued to drink his wine.

After a glass of wine, Young Master Wang also came back, but he didn't see Shen Liyan following. The next day, Shi Zhu saw Shen Liyan coming to work as usual, as if nothing had happened last night.

As for what Young Master Wang said to Shen Liyan that night, and what he said to Master Wang later, Shi Zhu had no way of knowing, he only knew that no one in the vinegar factory had stopped stumbling on him since then, and Young Master Wang seemed to be more serious about himself.
