Chapter 269: Trust among Colleagues

Today's Shu Shangkou is not what it used to be, and a market town was built in a deserted place. In addition to the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, there are also many businessmen gathered here, hoping to get the leftovers that fell out of the fingers of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce.

Lao Wang, the shopkeeper of the Cui family, presided over the overall situation here, and Su Ren had just left Chengdu when he got the news. Seeing Su Ren's team from a distance, Lao Wang took a few shopkeepers with a face in the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce to greet him outside the market town.

stepped forward and grabbed Su Ren's reins, and the white horse struggled twice and gave up resistance: "Mr. came to Shushangkou, I am very happy, the villain is waiting here, it is late today, so I will stay here first, and tomorrow I will send someone to escort Mr. up the mountain." ”

Su Ren looked up at the sun that was still overhead: "Lao Cui, this is Xuanbing to seize the master, this place was originally mine, why do you think I am a guest now!" ”

"Huh!" Lao Wang smiled with him: "There, this place is still Mr.'s, a few of us have been stained with Mr.'s light, and we have made some money here, so naturally we have to thank Mr. ”

"It's like a sentence! Alright, lead the way! ”

Cuixianglou actually opened a branch here, and it makes sense to think about it. Shu Shangkou was originally a gathering place for wealthy merchants, and there was no worry about no business here. When I entered Cuixiang Building, there was not a single guest, and I couldn't think about it.

Seeing Su Ren frowning, Lao Wang hurriedly explained: "Mr. came today, we discussed it, and then we chartered Cuixiang Building, so there are no guests, if it is normal, it will be overcrowded." ”

"I'll just say? Cuixianglou is the best wine shop in Shu County, and it is strange that there are many merchants here who are so deserted. ”

The runners and shopkeepers came to greet the guests, and they should have also received the news before, and those businessmen who did not go up to greet the money saluted Su Ren directly. In the hall on the first floor, the banquet has been set up, and a large round table full of all kinds of dishes is better than the Cuixiang Building in Chengdu West Market.

Su Ren naturally sat down, and the other businessmen, led by Lao Wang, sat down. After three rounds of drinking, everyone's words increased. They are all businessmen from the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and when they see Su Ren, the big boss behind the scenes, there are not a few flatterers. Su Ren was also open, said something innocuous and chatted, and chatted with this group of businessmen.

Zhang Dequan on the table on the side wanted to insert it several times, but unfortunately he couldn't invite him, so he could only stare dryly. Speaking of which, Shu Shangkou is also under the jurisdiction of Yuanshan County today, and the official county and military candidates are next to them, these businessmen turn a blind eye and only favor a Chengdu captain, and if it is placed on other people who don't know the inside story, they will naturally be furious. But now, Zhang Dequan knows that he is not qualified to eat with those businessmen.

After eating a meal for a whole afternoon, Su Ren was drunk, and Huang 13 carried Su Ren back to the room. The merchants said goodbye and left proudly, although they had already heard that the status quo of Wonsan would not change, and it was even more convincing to say it from Su Ren's mouth.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the streets, and no one scolded after the chickens flew and the dogs jumped. Zhang Dequan went out to see who was so bold and galloped in a place like Shushangkou.

From a distance, I saw more than a dozen fast horses running from the other end of the street, and the target seemed to be this Cuixiang Building. As the newly appointed Yuanshan military candidate, Zhang Dequan felt that his opportunity had come, and he drew his long sword and was about to go down to stop those guys who disturbed the business of Shu merchants.

Leng Jun grabbed Zhang Dequan: "What are you going to do?" ”

"These guys are actually riding horses in Shushangkou, and I, as the Yuanshan army, will punish them!"

"Humph!" Leng Jun smiled softly: "Do you know who is coming, and you will be punished?" ”

Zhang Dequan was stunned: "Who is here?" ”

"Your immediate boss!"

Zhang Dequan was momentarily stunned on the spot.

Sun Er Mazi took the reins of the horse, the war horse neighed, stopped at the door of Cuixiang Building steadily, turned over and jumped off the war horse, raised his feet and broke in, looked left and right and didn't find Su Ren, and grabbed the shopkeeper: "What about people?" Where is it? ”

The shopkeeper was not afraid, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Grandpa, the captain had just finished eating with a few merchants, and he was a little drunk, so he was resting in the backyard!" ”

"Grandma's, this group of turtle sons, you know how to pour wine, if Mr. has three long and two short, Lao Tzu will step on this Shu business!"

The shopkeeper nodded: "That's natural, who doesn't know Grandpa's ability, even the Qiang people are afraid of three points, please wait a while, and the little one will go and invite Captain Su?" ”

"Forget it!" Sun Er Mazi let go of the shopkeeper: "Since Mr. is drunk, let Mr. sleep, we will wait here!" ”

Sun Er Mazi didn't pay attention to the other people in the store, he didn't even look at Leng Jun, he sat at a table, and the dozen or so people who came with him also stood outside the door in a regular manner, not at all wild in the town just now.

Zhang Dequan let out a long breath, clenched his fists at Leng Jun, gently put the sword into the sheath, and sat back silently. The shop became silent, and no one spoke. Although Sun Er Mazi was in a hurry, he did not break into the backyard of Cuixiang Building.

Twelve Niang came out with the child in her arms and saw Sun Er Mazi sitting in the middle. He didn't have a cold temperament, he stepped forward a few steps and kicked on Sun Ermazi's chair: "Why are you here?" ”

As soon as Sun Er Mazi turned around, he saw that it was Twelve Niang, and his face immediately showed flowers: "Oh, I forgot you, what about my brother-in-law?" ”

Leng Jun stood up from behind Sun Er Mazi at this time: "County Lieutenant Sun only has Su Ren in his eyes, how can he see me?" ”

"Hahaha...... My brother-in-law is getting better and better at talking, but I don't know if his martial arts have improved! ”

"Humph! You can know if there is a growth ratio. ”

"Okay! Su Ren is still resting, and he is idle, let's practice? ”

Since the last battle in Shushangkou, Leng Jun and Sun Er Mazi have looked at each other unpleasantly. In that battle, Leng Jun killed dozens of brothers, and Sun Er Mazi also killed dozens of his subordinates, and the enmity between the two was settled. Although Su Ren pressed him, he did not merge with him, even if the two of them became the son-in-law of the old fox, they did not forget their previous suspicions.

Leng Jun had already put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and Sun Er Mazi was also ready. Seeing that the two of them were about to make a move, Twelve Niang hurriedly said, "You two just want to fight like this?" Then go outside the town, don't smash the things in Cuixiang Building! ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's okay, if it is broken, it will be compensated according to the price!" ”

Twelve Niang glared at the shopkeeper: "You get out of the way, it's not that you don't feel distressed, the old lady has a part in this!" ”

Huang Shisan appeared at the door at the right time, he glanced at the two of them with a dark face, and said to Sun Er Mazi: "Mr. is awake, let you in!" ”

Sun Er Mazi put down his weapon and snorted coldly: "Let's talk about it later, grandpa has something to do now, if you want to fight, wait until I finish my business!" ”

Throwing down Leng Jun, Sun Er Mazi followed Huang 13 into the backyard.

The county man, who had been sitting in the corner, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned his head to look at Zhang Dequan: "Deputy General Zhang, this is the big leader of the Yuanshan thieves?" ”

Zhang Dequan frowned, nodded, and the two difficult brothers sighed at the same time, and their hearts became cold.

Su Ren shook his drowsy head and drank a pot of tea in one go, only then did he feel a little more comfortable. Getting up from the bed with difficulty, Leng Yue hurriedly stepped forward to support her. Su Ren smiled: "I'm fine!" Get me some more water, I'm still a little thirsty. ”

Leng Yue hurriedly went out to help Su Ren get water, Su Ren took a deep breath and shouted outside the door: "Come in?" What are you still hiding outside to watch? ”

"Hahaha......" Sun Er Mazi laughed and pushed the door in: "I thought you were going to do something, but I didn't expect you to be really a decent gentleman, if someone did this to me, I would have taken it a long time ago!" ”

Su Ren smiled and motioned for Sun Er Mazi to sit down: "You just blow it, you have to dare, Banniang can pick your skin!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" Sun Ermazi's lies were exposed, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he sat next to Su Ren with a loud voice: "Don't gossip, I'm here to pick you up, everyone is waiting for you?" I haven't seen you for so long, do you know what Yuanshan has become now, tsk, you must know that there is such a thing now, Lao Tzu has already invited you up the mountain. ”

"The old fox and the old boy are now calling for wind and rain in Yuanshan with a few sons-in-law, more majestic than me and Mr. Zhou, if you hadn't handed over Yuanshan to me and Mr. Zhou, maybe you would have become an old fox now!"

Su Ren pouted: "That's your father-in-law!" Don't bite an old fox, there's an old fox's son-in-law outside! Have you seen the other two? ”

Sun Er Mazi nodded: "See, but I don't think it's good, can you do it with those two soft eggs?" ”

Su Ren smiled: "In the future, you will be colleagues, but they represent the Han court, put it well, and you will have to rely on the court in the future." ”

"I see!" Sun Er Mazi slapped it on the table: "Okay, you are still smart, you can think of this way, pull it to the court to deal with the old fox, hahaha, this method is good!" ”

Su Ren smiled but said nothing.

Leng Yue came in with water, lowered her head and poured a cup for Su Ren, and also poured a cup for Sun Er Mazi, and turned around to clean up Su Ren's bed. Sun Er Mazi smiled, and several people became silent. Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Su Ren instructed Huang Shisan to call the county Cheng and Zhang Dequan in, and to introduce them to Sun Er Mazi, which can be regarded as getting to know each other in advance.

Soon, the two of them entered the door respectfully, standing opposite Su Ren and not even daring to sit. Su Ren pointed at Sun Er Mazi: "This is the county lieutenant of Yuanshan County, you know each other!" ”

Zhang Dequan hurriedly surrendered his hand. Sun Er Mazi smiled and arched his hand.

Su Ren said: "From today on, Yuanshan will be handed over to you, I have said everything that should be said, as for what Yuanshan will become in the future, it is all up to you, I will say the ugly words in front, if you let me know that Yuanshan is smoky and miasma, then don't blame me for changing people!" ”

Zhang Dequan and the county Cheng hurriedly saluted, promising to help the county commander and the county lieutenant govern Yuanshan. After gossiping for a while, the two of them retreated with interest to make room for Su Ren and Sun Ermazi.
