Chapter VIII Reckoning

Piaoxiang Teahouse, Ma Pole and Liu Zhengfeng chatted with each other, each with their own thoughts.

Ma Pole prayed in his heart not to go wrong, seeing that the silver of the white flowers was about to arrive, it was too much of a loss if something went wrong.

Liu Zhengfeng was anxiously waiting for the servant's return, 1,500 taels of silver was not a small amount, almost half of his current family property, he had to determine the true identity of Steward Zhou.

The waiting time passed very slowly, and just when the two of them had nothing to talk about, the servant finally appeared on the second floor of the teahouse.

confessed to the hemp pole, Liu Zhengfeng greeted him, grabbed the servant and whispered.

Ma Zhu pretended to be indifferent, but in fact, his heart had already raised his throat, and when he saw Liu Zhengfeng who came over with a smile on his face after chatting with the servant, his heart was completely put down.

"What, Lord Liu, the silver has been brought?" Ma Pole asked nonchalantly.

"Brought it, brought it." Liu Zhengfeng put a stack of silver tickets in his hand in front of the hemp pole, one hundred and two, all of which were bearer silver tickets issued by Shanxi ticket numbers, a total of fifteen.

"Everything is up to Brother Ma!" Liu Zhengfeng said and took out another one and stuffed it into the hemp rod, which was the benefit fee promised to the hemp rod in advance. When handing out the silver taels, Liu Zhengfeng felt that his whole heart was dripping blood. One hundred taels of silver, enough for a family of several people to spend for several years, so it cheapened the scoundrel boy in front of him.

"It's easy to say, Lord Liu, you go back and wait first, you'll see it in a few days, remember to prepare the silver, and pay the other half of the money after the matter is completed." With a smile on his face and a large stack of silver tickets, he felt as if his heart had floated to the clouds.

"Brother Ma, nothing will happen, right?" At the time of separation, Liu Zhengfeng was apprehensive, and couldn't help but pull the sleeve of the hemp pole and asked.

"Please rest assured, Steward Zhou has not done this business once or twice, it depends on reputation, and he will never lose his reputation for your money, even if things don't work out, he will refund you in full." The hemp rod patted his chest in reassurance.

......

Aunt Zhang's bun shop, Chen Yue, who was full of steamed buns, squatted on the ground and helped Aunt Zhang wash the dishes, while Aunt Zhang kept instructing Chen Yue.

For some reason, in Chen Yue's heart, Aunt Zhang gave him a very kind feeling, just like a mother. Chen Yue is willing to listen to Aunt Zhang and get along with her.

The time had reached noon, and there were no guests in the restaurant, Wu Liang was sitting on the table teasing Zhang Xiu'er who was wiping the table, which provoked Zhang Xiu'er to scold coquettishly.

"Fool, today's buns are full!" Ma Zhu rushed into the bun shop and shouted loudly, squeezing his eyebrows at Wu Liang, so Wu Liang knew that it was done.

Dropped a string of copper coins and bought all the remaining buns, wrapped them in oilcloth and stuffed them in Chen Yue's arms. Ma Pole pulled Wu Liang out of the bun shop.

"Ah Yue, why did they buy you so many buns, did you do bad things with them again?" Aunt Zhang looked at the bun in Chen Yue's arms and asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, I just gave him a 'trust'." Chen Yue's eyes stared at the distant backs of the two, and replied casually.

"To?" Aunt Zhang was stunned, she didn't understand what Chen Yue meant.

"Aunt Zhang, I'll go out for convenience, put the buns in the store first, I'll get them later." Chen Yue rushed out of the store after saying a word, and followed in the direction of Ma Zhu and Wu Liang.

"Don't you think Ah Yue's brain has cleared up a lot in the past two days, and even his speech is very organized, as if he has changed as a different person." Aunt Zhang said to her daughter Zhang Xiu'er who wiped the table.

"I didn't find out, I'm still so stupid." Zhang Xiu'er said expressionlessly.

"Rich!" Returning to the lodgings, he carefully closed the door, took out the silver ticket from his bosom and laid it on the table, and cheered in a low voice.

"Really made a fortune!" Wu Liang picked up a silver ticket and looked at it carefully, his eyes radiated a greedy light, the exquisite patterns on the silver ticket were like clouds in the sky, and like the smiling face of the sister in the green building, it was so attractive. With so much silver, if you save a little money, it is enough for two people to live most of their lives!

"It's a total of 1,500 taels, half of each of us." The hemp pole is one by one with silver tickets.

"Seven hundred and fifty taels, Lao Tzu has never seen so much silver." Looking at the silver ticket in his hand, Wu Liang only felt happiness bubbling.

"Seven hundred and fifty taels for each of you, what about mine?" A voice suddenly came from outside the door, startling the two who were dividing the silver.

"Who?" The hemp pole put the silver ticket together, and looked at the closed door with a nervous face.

Wu Liang stuffed the silver ticket in his hand into his arms, took a wooden stick and hid it behind him.

In the sound of "squeak", the door of the house was slowly pushed open, and when Wu Liang raised the wooden stick and was about to smash it down, his eyes widened.

"Grass, who did I think was a fool!" Wu Liang threw the wooden stick to the ground and said to the hemp stick: "Hurry up and divide the silver ticket, I still want to go to Cuiyun Tower to have a good time." ”

The hemp pole didn't move, just looked Chen Yue up and down with a suspicious gaze.

Strange, very strange, Chen Yue is also smiling on his face at this moment, but it is no longer the signature giggle of the past, but a sneer, contemptuous smile, and the laughing hemp pole has straight hairs in his heart.

It must have been an illusion, and he shook his head vigorously, trying to drive away the strange thoughts.

"Fool, didn't I buy you a whole bun? Why did you chase it again? Ma Zhu asked casually, and a pair of eyes stared at Chen Yue's eyes.

"Although the buns are delicious, they won't last long, so it's better to give me a portion of the silver, so that I can buy my own buns in the future." Chen Yue said with a smile.

"Fool, what are you talking nonsense, go back and eat your buns, the silver doesn't have your share!" Wu Liang hadn't seen the situation clearly, so he habitually scolded, stepped forward and habitually kicked Chen Yue.

The corners of Chen Yue's mouth twitched coldly, and before Wu Liang's feet could hit his upper body, he quickly kicked out a kick and kicked Wu Liang in the abdomen, kicking Wu Liang to the ground at once, curling up and unable to get up for a long time.

"Wow!" Ma Pole gasped, stood up from the chair at once, took two steps back, and the chair behind him was hit to the ground with a thud.

Chen Yue in front of him is so unfamiliar, is this still the fool who doesn't know anything but eating?

"What's wrong? Brother Ma Pole, do you still have any money? Chen Yue walked up to the hemp pole and looked at the hemp pole in front of him playfully, like a cat teasing a mouse.

"You, you're not stupid?" Ma Zhu took two steps back, stared at Chen Yue's eyes and asked in a panic.

"I'm not stupid! So who am I? Brother Ma Zhu, I've been following you for so long, you won't even admit my mistakes, right? Chen Yue asked funny, but he was secretly amazed by the sharpness of the hemp pole in his heart, only he knew that he was no longer the former Chen Yue.

"Silly...... No, Brother Chen Yue, your head is good! Ma Zhu asked suspiciously, where is Chen Yue's performance in front of him, where is he still the fool before, which reminded him of the situation back then. A few years ago, Chen Yue was a normal person, known for his courage and ruthlessness, but he was shot in the head in a fight, and he became a fool. Could it be that the previous Chen Yue is back again?

"What are you talking about? Don't you have a penny of money? Chen Yue stopped smiling and asked coldly.

"Divide and divide!" Ma Zhu hurriedly said, Chen Yue in front of him shocked him too much, and he couldn't help but think of the situation a few years ago. A few years ago, not only him, but also Wu Liang was just a pawn behind Chen Yue's ass, and they were all used to being bullied by Chen Yue. He now suddenly remembered Chen Yue's obscenity a few years ago, and he didn't dare to resist at this moment.

"Why give it to fools? Why? I want to give it to you, and mine I don't give it to him! Wu Liang stood up with difficulty, holding the silver ticket in his arms and shouting.

"Hmm!" Chen Yue stared at Wu Liang coldly, he didn't expect this guy to be so rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and he stood up so quickly.

"What do you look at, fool? I won't give you any money! Wu Liang picked up the wooden stick from the ground and shouted at Chen Yue angrily. He still hasn't seen the situation clearly, and he still sees Chen Yue as a fool before, and being kicked down by a fool makes him very angry and annoyed.

Chen Yue didn't say anything more, but quickly flew up again and kicked Wu Liang's jaw, kicking Wu Liang, who didn't even pick up the stick, to the ground again. There was no screaming this time, because Wu Liang was kicked and fainted all of a sudden.
