"Yo, second aunt, where did you pull this blue and white cotton cloth? Looking at this cloth, it is dense and symmetrical, is it planning to make new clothes for your three girls? ”

"Hey, my seventh aunt, I'm a poor family, who doesn't have a festival every year, where can I figure out what new clothes to make? This is the first job I have contracted to work at the front door Hu Zhuangyuan's house, and I want to make a new curtain for use in the summer! No, I went to Ruifuxiang early, pulled the cloth and hurried home to do it! ”

"I don't have to pick the material of Ruifuxiang, but the price really doesn't have to be said, it's really a penny! I said his second aunt, why don't you go to Jushe to rip the cloth? The price is a lot cheaper, but there are also odds and ends to give! ”

"Seventh aunt, do you dare to love that you don't know about the file near Zhushikouer Street a few days ago?"

"Yo, I really haven't been out these days, I really don't know what's new on the street?"

"It's just two days ago.,The car of the shopkeeper of the Chrysanthemum Society who was sitting on the street asked someone to pick it up on the street.,It's not a guy from the Chrysanthemum Society who died.,The character who started it made it clear on the street.,Said that they should have paid for the money in the Chrysanthemum Society!"

"Ju Society is such a big deal, who can owe this money? Besides, it's a matter of repaying debts, why do you still make a fuss on the street? ”

"I also heard from people who saw that scene on the street, saying that the person who attacked the shopkeeper of the Chrysanthemum Society was a bandit with an iron gun and a handkerchief! On the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, the fire on the street of Zhushikou was set by the bandits with iron guns and handels, in order to take advantage of the fire to rob! Seventh aunt and grandmother, you think about it, what kind of serious businessman can this be related to bandits outside the mouth? Besides. Can the master who should ask the bandits outside the mouth to spend money, what can the bandits outside the mouth do? ”

"Really! His second aunt, when you say this, I still figured out a reason - everything in this chrysanthemum club is a little cheaper than the traders next to it, I'm afraid this way is not very authentic."

"Seventh aunt, you are Shengming! But the master who does business in the world counts, and he has always sought profit! But if it's a business with no capital. Can't you just take real gold and sell it as cheap as brass? It's hard to say that this chrysanthemum society is the realm of those bandits outside the mouth who buy and sell stolen goods for cash! In the past, the big guys didn't know about it, but now it's spread all over the city. You said that if we go to the chrysanthemum society to buy things again, when the official situation is investigated, maybe we will have to eat and hang! ”

"That's right, yes, I'm also thinking about Jushe to buy that bit of needles and threads, so as not to save the two eldest sons, but to bring back a lot of trouble!"

After hearing such street discussions, he called Han Liangpin to clean up the name of the iron gun and handkerchief on the street, and it was already a ten, ten or a hundred in Sijiu City. The more it is spread, the more it is said that there are noses and eyes. It's only a short two or three days, and the Jushe, which was originally busy with traffic in front of the door, has become crowded.

Even those guys in the chrysanthemum club used their strength to eat milk and shout for their lives, and the water sign outside the store also changed three times a day to reduce the discount of the goods, but the customers who really walked into the chrysanthemum club to buy things were rare.

Wait until dark when the account is closed, from the early morning to the door panel when the lamp is opened, the day's flow is only a dozen big children, and this is still two ignorant children who entered the chrysanthemum club to buy a bag of snacks!

A drooping face. The newly elected steward in the Ju Society looked at the dozen or so eldest sons scattered in the cash box on the counter, and shook his head helplessly towards the Ju Society guys around him: "Everyone. That's it for today! According to the old rules, everyone took turns to keep watch at night. Those on night duty should wake up and be extra careful! ”

Qi Qi nodded in agreement, and the Ju Society guys who were surrounding the Ju Society steward suddenly scattered, and they were busy according to the division of labor on weekdays. The manager of the Chrysanthemum Society stood silently in the store for a while, and then quietly reached out and took out a small paper roll from his arms and pinched it in the palm of his hand. Fang Cai slowly moved his steps towards the backyard of the Jushe.

On the day of Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa's attack, the Jushe guy who was nailed to the chest by two iron guns was killed on the spot, and Qi Sanye, who asked Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa to kick out of the car, only knocked out two big teeth. On the contrary, it was the injury on the body of Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa, which really made people scratch their heads!

The blood groove on the face that is cut by the iron spear head is easy to clean up, but the left will leave a scar that cannot be concealed in the future. It was splashed in the big pot of hot bean juice on Sanosuke Katsumasa's face. But I don't know what kind of medicine is mixed with, and the burned place is okay, but a pair of eyes can't be opened at all, and when I open my eyelids a little, I see a little light, and I can immediately make Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa scream.

I asked the people who knew how to practice medicine in the secret piles hidden in Sijiu City, but they only said that it might be poisoning, but they didn't know what kind of poison it was. When I went to a Western doctor for outpatient treatment, several Western doctors who could be regarded as provocative in Sijiu City also shook their heads, helpless against Zuo Zhisuke's injury.

It was easy to kowtow and kneel down to beg an old Chinese medicine doctor to see Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa's injury, and the old Chinese medicine doctor took up a pen and prescribed a prescription, but he also said it in his head - this injury has already delayed the healing work, even after healing, a pair of eyes are afraid that most of them will be wasted, and it can be regarded as fate to see a figure after a dozen or so steps

Slowly walked to the door of Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa's bedroom, the housekeeper of the Chrysanthemum Society reached out and gently knocked on the door that was hidden, and whispered to the door: "The shopkeeper, the general number has a letter!" ”

Almost as soon as the voice of the manager of the chrysanthemum society fell, there was already a slightly frightened voice in the room: "Is there a letter from the general number?" In! ”

Gently agreed, the housekeeper of the Kikusha stretched out his hand and pushed open the hidden door and walked into the house, turned around and fastened the deadbolt on the door, and then walked quickly to the side of Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa's bed, and said in Japanese to Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa, who was half-leaning on the head of the bed and his eyes were still covered with ointment and gauze: "Your Excellency, I will read the letter of the general number to you?" ”

Nodding helplessly, Sanosuke Katsumasa let out a long breath and responded in the same Japanese, "Is there any other way?" What does my eye chief letter say? ”

He cleared his throat with a dry cough. The steward of the Chrysanthemum Society gently unfolded the small note that he had already held in the palm of his hand, and read in a low voice: "Temporarily suspend all activities of the Chrysanthemum Society, and order Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa to return to Fengtian immediately to report on his work!" ”

With a slam of his body, Zuo Nosuke Katsumasa almost jumped up from the bed, and hurriedly looked in the direction from which the voice of the housekeeper of the Kikusha came from and shouted, "What did you say? You repeat?! ”

With a dry throat, the steward of the Kikusha helplessly said to Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa: "Your Excellency." The order of the general number is to temporarily suspend all activities of the Kikusha, and order Sanosuke Katsumasa to return to Fengtian immediately to report on his duties! ”

Like an old cat whose tail had been stepped on, Sanosuke Katsumasa almost screamed and jumped out of bed: "How can there be such an order?!" How much effort did it take for Jushe to take root in Beiping City?! How could the general number order me to return to Mukden immediately in such a hasty manner, that means that my previous efforts in the Ju Society will be wasted! We still have a lot of things in the pipeline, and a lot more."

Looking at Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa's teeth and claws, the housekeeper of the Chrysanthemum Society sighed and grabbed Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa's arm, and half-pulled and half-supported Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa to sit back on the bed: "Your Excellency, I'm afraid this is also a last resort!" Think about it. In the recent past, we have indeed made a lot of mistakes, which must have caused dissatisfaction with the general number. In addition, in the current Beiping City, we are already a live target stared at by everyone, no matter what we do, it will not be as secret as before! ”

Struggling to shake off the slap on his arm held by the housekeeper of the Kikusha, Sanosuke Katsumasa screamed, "Isn't it because of the ambush a few days ago? So what? As long as you spend money to plug the mouths of those Chinese who are officials, it won't be long before no one remembers"

Although he knew that Zuo Nosuke Katsumasa couldn't see his movements at all. But the manager of the Ju Society still shook his head vigorously: "It won't be that simple!" Your Excellency, even those Chinese who love to be cheap on a daily basis. I don't patronize our shop anymore these days! In the rumors on the streets and alleys, Jushe has been equated with those guys with iron guns! No matter how much money we spend to buy those officials, I am afraid that those officials will not be able to openly protect us in front of everyone! Your Excellency, may I take the liberty of expressing my understanding of the general command? ”

As if he had figured out something in an instant, Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa turned his head slightly towards the Kikusha steward who was standing beside him, and shook his head gently: "No need, I think I probably understand!" When do I leave? ”

Sigh. The manager of the Chrysanthemum Society grabbed one of Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa's slaps, and stuffed the small note with the order of the Chrysanthemum Agency into Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa's slap: "Early tomorrow morning, someone will accompany you to Mukden!" ”

"So, will the person who took over the work of the Chrysanthemum Society also arrive tomorrow?"

"The person who took over your job has arrived. Now accompanied by Qi Sanye, he is meeting with some officials of the Beiping Municipal Government! Your Excellency's sacrifice for the sake of the overall situation is a last resort, but it is also your supreme honor! ”

"Is it for the sake of the big picture? I'm afraid it's a scapegoat that can only be used to clean up the mess, right? A shopkeeper who colluded with bandits absconded in fear of crime, and the new takeover can regain the peace of the Kikusha after correcting the mistakes made by the previous shopkeeper? If you can, can you tell me who will take over the treasurer of Kikusha? ”

"Your Excellency, this is not something you should have known, but Your Excellency should have heard of the name of Ishikawa Ueno-kun, right?"

"Is Ishikawa Ueno the 'Ishikawa that can't be caught'" (to be continued......)
