Chapter 56: Take You to Meet Someone

"Uncle Wu, why are you here, please take a seat!" When Li Zhang saw Lu Wu coming in, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him, but at this time he found that Lu Wu's face was a little gloomy and seemed to be a little unhappy.

Lu Wu has never regarded Li Zhang as an outsider, and he is like his own family here, so I saw him walk up to Li Zhang and sit down with a big grin, then stared at Jin Shan and said again: "Why is Jin Daguan here, and what did you just ask me to tell Da Lang?" ”

"I ...... I'm here to thank Li Zhang for saving his life, I didn't expect to meet Lu Bantou so coincidentally, since you are here, I won't disturb your uncle and nephew to catch up! Jin Shan is also a slippery head, so he found a reason to prevaricate at the moment, and then he was ready to slip away.

"Wait a minute, what's the matter with the life-saving grace?" Lu Wu was also stunned when he heard Jin Shan's words, he still thought that Jin Shan was here to ask for debts?

"That's the case, a few days ago, when Jinshan came to buy braised meat, he suddenly fell ill, and I happened to know a little first aid to help a little, so Jinshan came to thank him!" Li Zhang also lied for Jin Shan at this time.

"Yes, if it weren't for Li Zhang, I would have confessed my life, so what, I'll leave first if it's okay, say goodbye!" Jin Shan also echoed at this time, and then he gave his hand to leave, and turned around and left after speaking, his fat body was so flexible that he left the store and got into the carriage in the blink of an eye, not giving Lu Wu a chance to leave him at all.

Looking at the back of Jin Shan leaving, Lu Wu frowned and said to Li Zhang: "Didn't I say don't get too close to people like Jin Shan, if he is unlucky in the future, maybe he will affect you!" ”

"Huh? Isn't the person behind Jinshan quite powerful, I heard that even Ding Xiang wants to give him some face, how can such a person be unlucky in the future? Li Zhang couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Lu Wu's words, just now he was shocked by Jin Shan's background, but in a blink of an eye, Lu Wu said that Jin Shan was going to be unlucky, which made him a little unable to turn around.

"Hehe, it's because the people behind him are too close to Ding Wei, and sooner or later he will be unlucky!" Lu Wu sneered and said, he doesn't like Jin Shan, but he doesn't hate it, but he doesn't have a good impression of the people behind Jin Shan.

Li Zhang was shocked again when he heard this, if it was before, he might still be suspicious of Lu Wu's words, but through the conversation with Jin Shan just now, he knew that Lu Wu's origin was not simple, since he said that Jin Shan would be unlucky in the future, I am afraid it was not groundless, but Jin Shan helped himself, although it was called to repay his kindness, but Li Zhang was still very grateful to him, did he want to remind him? If Jinshan is really unlucky in the future, what can he do?

"By the way, what were you talking about with Jin Shan just now, how did I hear him mention my name, and let you ask me something?" At this time, Lu Wu suddenly thought of the words he heard when he came in just now, and immediately asked again.

"It's nothing, isn't there always a ghost beggar robbing people during this time, so Jin Shan and I are also talking about it, but Jin Shan said that you are the team leader and must know more than us, so he asked me to ask you." As an excellent salesperson, telling lies without blinking is the most basic quality, which Li Zhang has performed particularly well.

Hearing Li Zhang's mention of ghost beggars, Lu Wu immediately patted his head and said: "I almost forgot, those ghost beggars have been rampant recently, you have a lot of children here, especially a little girl like a raccoon, be careful!" ”

"Uncle Wu, it's late to remind you, yesterday our neighbor's little girl was robbed by a ghost beggar, but fortunately, there were wild dogs, and they rushed into the sewer and snatched people back." Li Zhang sighed at this time and said, there have been many children and women lost in Tokyo City during this time, but except for Cai Niang, others don't have such good luck.

"Is the tanuki alright?" Lu Wu was also startled when he heard Li Zhang's words, and immediately asked again, he had always regarded the raccoon dog as his own daughter, so when he heard that there was a ghost beggar here, the first thing was to ask about the safety of the raccoon.

"The raccoon dog is fine, and yesterday our neighbors in this alley also pooled some money and sealed the sewer mouth with iron bars, so there should be no more problems." Li Zhang replied.

"It's okay." Lu Wu breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, and at this time, Xiuxiu also stepped forward to pour water for Lu Wu very obediently, which made him ask curiously, "Who is this girl, why haven't you seen it before?" ”

"This is Xiuxiu, Douzi's twin sister, their sister and brother were separated before, and they have only been reunited in the past few days." Li Zhang first introduced to Lu Wu with a smile, and then turned his head to Xiuxiu and said, "Xiuxiu, this is Uncle Wu, thanks to Uncle Wu's care before, otherwise Douzi and I would have starved to death." ”

Li Zhang didn't say that he was embarrassed by the Xu family before, firstly, this matter had been resolved, and secondly, he didn't want to let Lu Wu worry about everything, after all, Lu Wu was also very busy, as long as it was something he could solve, he didn't want to trouble the other party.

"Hello Uncle Wu!" Xiuxiu was not shy, and saluted Lu Wu very generously.

"Yes, yes, she is a sensible girl, no wonder I feel much cleaner at home this time." Lu Wu looked Xiuxiu up and down a few times and praised it.

"Uncle Wu, you are really amazing, Xiuxiu not only cooks deliciously, but also is very proficient in housework, since she came, our family has indeed changed a lot." Li Zhang also praised when he heard Lu Wu's words.

Li Zhang's family is full of children, most of them are orphans, no one has taught them to do housework at all, although Li Zhang is an adult soul, but as a mother's single dog, his previous life was not much better than the kennel, so he can keep these children in basic hygiene is already good, so that the home has always been messy, but since Xiuxiu came, the home has suddenly become orderly, and even has a new feeling.

Hearing Lu Wu and Li Zhang's praise, Xiuxiu also showed an embarrassed expression, and then said: "Thank you Uncle Wu for taking care of Douzi over the years, and it is also our blessing that the eldest brother can take in our sister and brother, and it is also appropriate to do some housework!" ”

When Lu Wu heard Xiuxiu's words, he also praised her again, which made Xiuxiu even more embarrassed, and ran away under the pretext of cooking, which made Lu Wu laugh again, and it seemed that he was also very satisfied with Xiuxiu.

"Uncle Wu, the ghost beggars are so rampant during this time, hasn't the imperial court made any moves?" Li Zhang asked again at this time, just blocking the sewer mouth can only be a passive defense, if you want to completely solve this problem, the government must come forward to fight these ghost beggars, otherwise it is not a matter for people in Tokyo to panic every day?

"Alas~, during this time, I drilled into the sewers almost every day, but those ghost beggars are very cunning, they are familiar with the terrain of the sewers, we can't even see half a figure, let alone arrest them, as for the court, although there are people in the court, but as far as I know, I'm afraid the court can't be ruthless to deal with the ghost beggars!" Lu Wu sighed at this time.

"Such a woman and child were taken captive, could the court just bear to watch it?" Li Zhang was also a little annoyed when he heard this.

"The imperial court also has difficulties, if you want to completely eliminate the ghost beggars, it is impossible not to send tens of thousands of people down, and the army will cost money when it moves, and the court can't come up with the money at all now, not to mention that even if it is cleaned up, as long as the sewers are still there, there will be new ghost beggars sooner or later." Lu Wu sighed again, he now felt more and more that his ability was too small, and he could only do nothing in many things.

Li Zhang also frowned when he heard this, and after a while, he also sighed, in fact, put himself in his shoes, if he stood in the position of the imperial court, I am afraid that he would also have a headache about the ghost beggars, but in the final analysis, this matter is still the responsibility of the imperial court, and it is precisely because of the imperial court's poor management of Tokyo City that so many ghost beggars have bred in the city.

"However, the imperial court is not completely without action, and now all the yamen have also taken action, checking the sewer mouths of the entire Tokyo City, sealing those that can be sealed, and adding a layer of iron fence to those that cannot be sealed, although it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, but there is no way to do it." Lu Wu spoke again at this time.

"By the way, what about your father, did you go out to do business again?" At this time, Lu Wu suddenly remembered Li Yonghe, and he didn't want to discuss the ghost beggar with Li Zhang, so he changed the topic.

"A few days ago, he took five times of money from his family, but he not only lost it all, but also owed twenty times, and now he doesn't know where he went, it is estimated that he has no face to come back." Li Zhang's face was calm and said, he couldn't help such a father, the most important thing was that filial piety was very important in ancient times, and he couldn't sever the relationship between father and son, so he could only let him go, and he wouldn't let him touch the money in the future.

"Bastard, why did you run away to gamble again?" Lu Wu couldn't help but scold when he heard this, he was much older than Li Yonghe, and Li Yonghe had always regarded him as a brother, so only he was qualified to scold Li Yonghe.

"Uncle Wu, if you have time, go and accompany the raccoon, although I didn't tell her about her father gambling again, but this girl seems to be a little aware of it, and she has been a little depressed these days." Li Zhang was also a little distressed at this time, he didn't care about Li Yonghe, but he was worried that having such a father would have a bad impact on the raccoon.

As soon as he heard that Tanuki was unhappy because of Li Yonghe's matter, Lu Wu also showed a distressed expression, and he didn't care about Li Zhang at the moment, he stood up and went to find Tanuki, the little girl was helping Douzi greet guests in the store, and she was overjoyed to see Lu Wu come in, and she was reluctant to let go of him, Tanuki had no mother since she was a child, and lacked father's love, and only from Lu Wu could she feel a long-lost father's love.

Lu Wu accompanied Li'er here for an afternoon, and waited until dinner before going back, and Li Zhang also personally sent him out, but when Lu Wu left, he suddenly pulled him to the corner and whispered: "I may have to take you to meet someone in a few days, and then you don't have to do anything, everything is up to my arrangement!" ”
