Chang Yuchun didn't expect that Wang Laohu would be so fast, and before he made a move, he had already taken a lightning speed to seize the opportunity.

When a brother next to him saw it, he hurriedly drew his knife and slashed at Wang Laohu, and saw that Wang Laohu raised his hand, pushed it out with one palm, and pushed the person out a few steps away.

"Good internal strength." Chang Yuchun knew that he had met an opponent, even if the dozen or so people present joined forces, without the help of Zhang Zheng beside him, he would definitely not be Wang Laohu's opponent. No wonder Wang Laohu has been rampant in the countryside, doing all kinds of evil, no one dares to snort, but at this time Wang Laohu is obviously merciful everywhere, if not, I am afraid that several of his brothers have already died here.

Chang Yuchun shouted: "Stop." ”

When Feng Sheng and the others heard the shouting, they all stopped.

Chang Yuchun said: "We are not your opponent, today it falls into your hands, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it." ”

Wang Laohu put down the sword pointed at Chang Yuchun's hand and said: "Brother Chang, Wang Laohu came to visit today, he has no other meaning, I just want to know one thing, why did Brother Chang come to rob me of the food for the relief of the victims?" ”

Qi Shun shouted: "I think of you, Wang Laohu, a big evil person, how can you do good deeds." We're just doing the right thing for heaven. What's wrong with robbing you of food? There was a lot of disdain in the words.

Feng Sheng immediately continued: "I heard that Wang Gongzi recently robbed a people's daughter and wanted to forcibly marry her, but is there such a thing? ”

"Yes," Wang Laohu said. He knew that such a big thing must be full of wind and rain in the city, and it was normal for it to spread to neighboring counties. If you want to think that it will make people distrustful, you will simply admit it generously.

"Okay, you Wang Laohu, see if you have anything else to say." Qishun said.

"Yes, this is true, this is not the other, and you must not use him as a reason for you to rob me of disaster relief food!" Wang Laohu said.

"It's not the other thing," Qi Shun said, "You say, these nights, what are you doing when you enter the house every night?" Don't tell me you didn't do anything? Qishun seemed to have grabbed someone else's handle, and he was proud.

Wang Laohu replied lightly: "It's true that I didn't do anything, I can't sleep every night, and I always have to go out to play for a while before I fall asleep." ”

At this time, Huda spoke: "But I heard that your food is the relief food of the court?" ”

Robbing the court's disaster relief food? This is a great rebellion, and this is a head-off thing. At this time, Wang Laohu understood that the real reason for the grain grabbing in Chang Yuchun came from this. I'm afraid it's some rumors spread by some ill-intentioned people.

Wang Laohu hypothetized: "Brother Chang, do you think that my Wang Laohu's grain is robbing the government of disaster relief food?" Let's say that I am not so bold, if I robbed the court's disaster relief food, why has the government not acted until now? ”

"I can boldly say here with a clear conscience that this grain is the private food of my royal family, and the disaster relief is also out of the benevolence of my king and tiger. My king and tiger measure the court, and when the people are suffering and suffering, it is a great righteousness to help each other. Now someone is actually saying behind my back that my Wang Laohu's private food is the food of the court, and I will definitely check the water and implement it. ”

In the process of Wang Laohu's speech, Chang Yuchun glanced at Feng Sheng and the others, Wang Laohu saw it in his eyes and said, "Do you think you can escape?" These four weeks are my family. As soon as Wang Laohu finished speaking, he saw the family who was lying in ambush outside walking out with a knife. Chang Yuchun and others had no choice but to give up.

"Although I, Wang Laohu, have done a lot of wrong things before," Wang Laohu did not deny his mistakes, "but at this moment, I sincerely ask Brother Chang to supervise the disaster relief." Justice is at ease. ”

"Since Wang Gongzi said so, we also believe it." Feng Sheng said. "It was a misunderstanding in the past."

"Then turn into a fight, what does Brother Chang think?" Wang Laohu smiled.

"That's very good." Chang Yuchun also smiled reluctantly, "I'll pack up and prepare to return to my hometown." ”

Wang Laohu made it appropriate to return to the landlord, and invited Chang Yuchun to a banquet in the county restaurant, and the brothers did not mention it.

A storm seemed to have cleared.

At night, Wang Laohu looked at the moon bud jade in his hand, quietly in a daze, this crystal clear, shining green jade in the candlelight, there is nothing unusual.

Twenty-five days after Wang Laohu's disaster relief, news finally came from neighboring counties that the flood waters had receded and that the victims could return home. This is good news, the victims said goodbye to their great benefactor Wang Laohu in front of the Wang family compound, but none of the disaster workers recruited in the tofu factory were willing to leave, and they all stayed.

The tofu workshop is a large factory, facing the street outside, Wang Laohu made him a storefront, at this moment, the container, the cash register is also according to Wang Laohu's idea, made by the carpenter, placed after the sale of the tofu products produced here. Wang Laohu also asked Xiaochun to recruit some little girls from the city, and these little girls will work as salespeople here in the future, and they are now being trained according to Wang Laohu's modern ideas.

In the middle is an aisle patio, walk through the patio, and behind it is a large workshop where future tofu products will be produced. To the left and right of the workshop are the dormitories for male and female workers. Bypassing the women's dormitory, there is a large office, which is the office area, and the large office is divided into three parts, one is the meeting room for meetings on the upper floor of the workshop; One is the office area for Xu Wan and Xiaochun, which can also be used as a rest area; The other is the account room, which will be in charge of Xu Lao in the future.

Everything is ready, just waiting for tomorrow's opening, at this time Wang Laohu and Xu Wan, Xiaochun, Wang Biao are in the office area, "Tomorrow our 'Wanchun Fang' will open, tonight I will have a banquet in Zuixianglou, I don't know if our Xu Wan CEO and Xiaochun sister will appreciate the light?" Wang Laohu said

Neither woman answered. Wang Laohu also acquiesced, and immediately ordered Wang Biao to book a box in the restaurant, and then instructed the family to go back and ask the old lady to wait.

Zuixianglou is the largest restaurant in the county, with high-end decoration and style, and the rich family will choose here for banquets. The box chosen by Wang Laohu is relatively large, and two large round tables can be placed, the old lady sits above the main table, and Wang Laohu is on one side, followed by Xu Wan, Xiaochun, He Steward, Zhang Zheng, Wang Biao, etc. Another round table is for the followers to be seated.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a clear distinction between master and servant, the master was the master, and the servant was the servant. How can there be such a reason to sit together. But Wang Laohu said: "Tonight is an exception, but it makes Steward He, Zhang Zheng, Wang Biao and others really excited. ”

The dishes came up quickly, and the dishes on the two tables were the same, where had Xu Wan, Xiaochun and those family members seen such rich dishes, let alone being able to taste them in person today. Those family members knew that this was the most sumptuous meal they had ever had in this life, and that they might never have it again.

The old lady sat at the head of the upper room, knowing that today was to celebrate the opening of Wanchun Fang tomorrow, and also understood that Wang Laohu wanted to really do something this time, and she was very happy. She looked at Xu Wan, who was not far from her. This is an extraordinary beauty, but she was born in the lower class, and there is a distance between her and the noble Wang Laohu. I thought that Wang Laohu was just acting on the spot as before, but it seemed that the son in front of him was not like this.

Facing some of the dishes that came up, Wang Laohu said: "It's rare to get together here, tomorrow it will be the opening of Wanchun Fang, everyone let go of eating, everyone is their own people." After speaking, he stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece of red fluttering chicken into his mother's bowl, and a crystal clear shrimp and put it in Xu Wan's bowl.

The old lady paused for a moment, on the one hand, how could Wang Laohu have eaten for himself for so many years? On the other hand, in ancient times, men were inferior to women, so how could men serve vegetables to women?

After dinner, it was still early, Wang Laohu asked Wang Biao, Steward He and others to escort the old lady back to the house, and instructed Zhang Zheng to continue to monitor the situation of Chang Yuchun and others, as well as the movements of the county government, after all, so long has passed, and there is no news about the food in the court. Wang Laohu himself became a messenger to protect the flowers, and escorted Xu Wan and Xiaochun home with a few family members.

At this time, in the county seat, the store part has been closed. Walking on the street that was not very lively, Wang Laohu and Xu Wan walked side by side, Xiaochun was a little behind, and Jia Ding followed seven steps away with great interest. There are some vendors selling knick-knacks like windmills, ice grain gourds, etc.

When he walked through a shop, Wang Laohu did not leave, the shop was still lit at this time, and if you looked closely, it was a tailor shop, and cloth of various colors was placed in it.
