Chapter 20 The mouth is honey and the sword is not seen
"Boom...... Rumble...... Oooo More than a dozen firecrackers flew up suddenly, exploded in the sky and exploded again, and a piece of fiery red confetti fell from the sky one after another, like a ball of snowflakes. In the streets and alleys, many children are running around with smiles on their faces, covering their ears and chasing red snowflakes.
The money shopkeeper pulled the rope with both hands, and a piece of red silk cloth fell in response, and the quaint plaque was engraved with the three big characters of "Fusheng Ji". Eight guys with big shoulders and round waists shouted in unison: "Open up!" ”
There are many vendors and bosses who come to congratulate them on the street, and the money shopkeeper greets them one by one, and welcomes the guests into the store with a spring breeze.
Many people on the street exchanged their heads with each other and discussed:
"Didn't the money shopkeeper run a boat before? How did you turn into a gambling house? ”
"It is said that I made a big deal two days ago, and I sold several boats in my hand to a sheep, and I made a lot of money."
"Guarding a good sea boat, I am afraid that there will be no less than three or four thousand taels for a trip back and forth to Guangzhou Mansion, this money shopkeeper is really confused."
"You know what a fart, now the king of Aoyi has ordered that all ships are only allowed to trade in Bacheng, and they have to pay heavy taxes, and the money earned from a trip is not enough to pay taxes."
"That's called Holland, the head of the East India Company. In fact, it is to let the East India Company control all the transactions, who can't see it! ”
"yes, yes, yes, that guy isn't a thing."
The people have different opinions, and they are not the same. At this moment, more than 20 young men angrily turned the corner of the street, passed through the crowd, and came straight from Ben Fu Shengji.
Some people in the surrounding crowd recognized that it was the guy on the money shopkeeper's boat, and the leader was called Lin Chu. Seeing that the other party was menacing, they all got out of the way, for fear that the city gate would catch fire and affect the pond fish.
The money shopkeeper here saw the crowd surging, and as soon as he turned around, he was blocked at the door by more than 20 young and strong men, and after looking at it, he recognized Lin Chu.
I only heard Lin Chu arrogant but secretly pleaded: "Fifth Master Qian!" We, who eat at sea, beg for food on your ship, but today we hear a rumor that you have sold all your ships, and all of us are counting on this amount of money on board, and now that you have sold your ship, what will our brothers do? What about the small families of the brothers? ”
"That's right!"
"That's it!"
A group of sailors followed suit, and the scene was noisy and shouting.
"Hmph...... Reason? Over here. The money shopkeeper suddenly raised his voice an octave and shouted: "Lao Tzu is the truth!" ”
The sailors glared angrily, and as soon as Lin Chu raised his hand, they all fell silent. I saw that the guys in the shop found more than 50 people out of nowhere, and at once surrounded the money shopkeeper and sailors in the innermost. When the sailors saw that the other party was overwhelmed, they all shut up, and only looked at Lin Chu, looking at him as the first horse.
Lin Chu frowned, quickly calculated the situation, and knew that he would definitely not be able to get any benefits today. He changed his face, and said with a flattering and slightly threatening smile: "Fifth Master Qian, if you sell your boat, the brothers can't control it, but you did this, ruining the brothers' livelihood." The owner of the ship is coming to collect the ship tonight, and the brothers will have no place to eat in the future! You are the 'dragon' on the ground of Bacheng, our brothers are just worms, please show me the way. ”
"Minglu?" The money shopkeeper laughed and said arrogantly: "Isn't it money!" Lao Tzu has it! But why am I still raising you? Lin Chu, don't think that the fifth master doesn't know anything about you at all, isn't Wang Gou Liu your former brother? Over the years, you have secretly used Lao Tzu's boat to do those 'private jobs', and I am blind when I am the fifth master? That's Lao Tzu still needs you, that little money Lao Tzu can't look down on! ”
The sailors looked at each other, feeling guilty, and bowed their heads no longer to coax.
Lin Chu didn't know that Wang Gouliu was dead, and scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "The fifth master is going to tear his face when he says this!" Brothers have come and gone in the wind and rain in the past few years, running around for your old man at sea, even if there is no merit, there is hard work! ”
The money shopkeeper shouted flatly: "Four joys! ”
"Master!" A guy in the store answered.
The money shopkeeper said: "I paid a string of big money from the account room and rewarded this group of bitter haha." ”
"Too much deception!" The sailors were furious, Lin Chu stretched out his arms and stopped him back, and replied coldly: "So, thank you for the money shopkeeper!" ”
The money shopkeeper laughed, turned around and walked into the casino with many thugs, and ignored the crowd.
"Master Qian rewards a bunch of money!" The shopkeeper shouted loudly with a bamboo basket, and then sprinkled all the copper coins in the bamboo basket on the street, scattering a large piece of it, causing the thugs to laugh.
All the sailors were angry, and they all looked at Lin Chu, but they saw that Lin Chu bowed his head and was silent, just looking at the copper coin. The sailors did not see the order, and on the spur of the moment, they rushed into the casino to find the money shopkeeper to settle the accounts.
At this time, Lin Chu instead squatted down and picked up the copper coins on the ground one by one.
"Boss Lin...... "The sailors didn't know why, so they had to stand still. Several sailors who had been following Lin Chu for a long time were the first to react, and they all leaned over to pick up copper coins, one moved, everyone look at me, I look at you, so I had to follow to pick it up, and after a while, there was no copper coin on the ground, Lin Chu smiled and said: "Let's go!" ”
The crowd was full of shame and followed.
In the half-hidden window on the second floor of the street, the senior executives calmly watched the scene on the street, nodded and praised: "This is a character who can do big things!" The money shopkeeper on the other side was afraid that his life was in danger. After that, he stretched out his hand to close the window, turned around and sat down on the round stool in the room, and the subordinate next to him stood sideways and poured tea and water, and the executive took a small sip and ordered: "Arrange for the clipper to go north immediately, and the excerpt should be sent to the master urgently, without delay for a moment." ”
"Yes, sir." After pondering, the subordinate asked, "Can the subordinates send someone to keep an eye on that group of mud-legged people downstairs?" ”
The executive didn't seem to care, and said with a smile: "That's a group of lame pirates, it's a dragon on the sea, it's not an errand for us to take care of, what should he do?" Keep your eyes on the sugar mill, that's where it kills. ”
The subordinate hurriedly agreed, and was just about to leave the room, when the senior executive seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked, "What the downstairs said just now, have you listened carefully?" ”
The subordinate replied quite proudly: "What my subordinates practice is the skill of listening to sound and distinguishing position, and they don't miss a word." ”
"What time do you hear the ship be closed?"
"That's tonight! It was the three boats that Liu Bing bought. ”
The executive understood a little, briefly explained a few words, turned around and went downstairs.
Let's say that Lin Chu left Fushengji with the sailors, turned a few streets, and entered a remote alley.
"Boss Lin! Are we just going to put up with it? ”
"Yes! Eldest brother! What do you say? Brothers, listen to you. ”
The sailors were gossiping and saying everything. Lin Chu swept over every subordinate with cold eyes, but saw the sixth elder of the Zhang family standing in the crowd and bowing his head silently, Lin Chu sneered and asked, "Sixth, what do you say?" ”
The sixth elder of the Zhang family glanced at Lin Chu and stopped talking.
Lin Chu said with a smile: "Although you only got on the boat later, you and I are brothers, but we are also brothers, now that it has reached such a point, I must have an idea, I want to hear what you mean, and then make a decision, but it doesn't hurt for you to say." ”
The sixth elder of the Zhang family said shyly: "I ...... I heard that there is a new senior brother in the sugar factory in the suburbs, who is opening an altar to accept apprentices, and a lot of people have gathered, or ...... Or...... Let's go for it! ”
Lin Chu hated it in his heart, looked at each person's face one by one, and asked, "What about you?" ”
They looked at each other and did not speak. Lin Chu immediately laughed and said: "The sixth family still has a small family to support, and it is inseparable from this Bacheng. At present, the sea is not calm, and the parties of all sides are gathered, and the momentum is very large, I am afraid that the world on the sea will be chaotic again. The sixth child is reluctant to go to the sea with me, I am not reluctant, I wanted to scrape some oil and water from Qian Lao Wu today, but unfortunately there is less, so I will simply settle down with you! After that, he took a heavy cloth bag from his subordinates and stuffed it into the hands of the sixth elder of the Zhang family.
His words have a deep meaning, and there are a few smart people who taste three points, and then look at the sixth child of the Zhang family, with a look of pity.
"Boss Lin......" The sixth child of the Zhang family was moved to cry bitterly, knelt on the ground and apologized and thanked him.
Lin Chu nodded, and asked someone to send the sixth child of the Zhang family home, but the sixth child of the Zhang family hurriedly excused himself and went out of the alley by himself.
Some of his subordinates came out in crowd and made a chopping gesture on their necks, Lin Chu pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Time is too tight, don't lose a big one because of a small one." ”
The other sailors realized at this time, and couldn't help but gasp, glad that they didn't echo the sixth child of the Zhang family.
Lin Chu asked, "What did the person who bought the boat say?" ”
"It was said that his son-in-law came to board the ship after midnight tonight and sailed directly to Guangzhou."
Lin Chu nodded, exhaled viciously, and said hatefully: "Before the end of tonight, kill Qian Lao Wu first, and when the shipowner and his party board the ship and go to sea, our brothers will kill people and rob the ship, and from now on, the sea will be free!" ”
Everyone was murderous and nodded in agreement.
The senior executives went downstairs, but did not return to Zhu's house, so they took a long detour and took a trip to Guangyu Restaurant.
From a distance, I saw Jia San sitting in the hall drinking stuffy wine, piling up smiling faces, and went straight to Jia San.
"Yo! See, see, see! Aren't these the three brothers! The senior executive patted Jiasan on the shoulder with his left hand, and said with a spring breeze on his face.
Jia San didn't expect to meet senior executives here, so he hurriedly got up to salute and said with a sneer: "Senior executives, Jia San has asked you for peace." You haven't seen your old man for a few days, how are you old? ”
Although the senior management is not in charge of many matters in the Zhu family, it is invited by the old lady of the third room, the background is a little complicated, and he rarely pays attention to the third person and others on weekdays, and does not pretend to be angry, although the third person is under the fourth grandmother Chunmei, he has no management position, which he knows very well.
When a person like Jia San pretends to be an uncle, he is certainly majestic and imposing, but when he pretends to be a grandson, he is also exquisite. So he wiped the chair next to him with his sleeve, and groveled to flatter, "Please sit down!" You are always seated! ”
The executive mockingly looked at Jia San with the corner of his eye, and sat down unyieldingly, and Jia San raised his hand again and shouted: "Man! Hurry up and change the wine, get some high-quality rice wine, haven't you seen the guests? No eyesight. Then he continued to smile flatteringly at the executives: "Jia San has never had the opportunity to invite your old man to drink, and today it is a coincidence, please give Jia San this opportunity, which can be regarded as Jia San's heart." ”
The executive laughed and said, "I said that the house praised you for the three brothers!" It's terrifying! ”
Jia San hurriedly humbled, and the senior management took the opportunity to say: "I just saw that you were depressed and looked preoccupied, what's wrong?" Who else dares to offend your three brothers? ”
Jia San didn't dare to talk about molesting Nina and being knocked over, so he just said that he was sick and came out for a drink. The senior executives know everything, but they don't say it, they only say: "Men's hearts are nothing more than wealth, power, and sex, although the elder brother is not a real manager, as long as he follows the fourth grandmother, he is loyal and loyal, and he is a steward, I am afraid that it will come naturally, and his future achievements are unlimited; This right! Positions of power and power complement each other, although your brother has no office now, he is the uncrowned king, and his majesty is tight; Then only this 'color' remains, am I right? ”
Jia San was stunned, then slapped his thigh, and said convincingly: "Brother is really ...... This one...... Expect to be like a god's fairy. To tell you the truth, my heart is really miserable......"
The senior executive was disdainful in his heart, and he didn't want to entangle with him more, so he laughed and said, "Why should the third brother be angry about this? In the future, if you become famous, are you afraid that there will be no beauty in your arms? Willing, willing, giving will be gained, as long as the masters are served well, they should be given up, and there will be benefits to be obtained in the future! ”
Jia San was stunned, suddenly pointed out, and hurriedly bowed: "Please also ask Brother Gao for some advice." ”
The executive's accident was mysterious, and Jia San pleaded again and again, so he said in a low voice: "Bacheng Zhu's family is the head of the third room, among the three rooms, in addition to the uncle, there is also the second master, although you follow the fourth grandmother to listen to the errand, it is already safe, but the fourth grandmother is only a concubine after all, if you want to be as stable as Mount Tai, you have to work the second master's side." The day before yesterday, the second master just returned home, in my observation, he is in his heyday, and there are few people around him to serve, but I am afraid of being alone, if you can choose one or two beautiful people to serve at this time, I am afraid that the second master will not remember you? The summer furnace and winter fan are not as good as sending charcoal in the snow! ”
A was clearly tempted, but his eyes flickered, and he said hesitantly: "I'm afraid that others will be reluctant, but it will be bad!" ”
"Don't be shy, just talk about the heart! When someone gives you a gift, do you remember the person who gave the gift or the gift that someone gave you? The senior executives finally took a dose of fierce medicine, closed their eyes and recuperated, and said no more.
Jia San's heart was hot, thinking of Nina and Zhu Junyi, he sneered in his heart, dare to spoil my good deeds! Then shoot it off!
