Xue Fucai politely rejected Chen Ping, but he was not unmoved by the salary of 500 Wen. In fact, Chen Pingkai's conditions are quite generous, not to mention in Xiatu Village, even in Liuhe County, or in Yangzhou, no one can compare this salary.

But even so, Xue Fucai still refused, and it could only be said that Xue Xiong's influence was too great.

"Since that's the case, then I won't force Uncle Xue, just let Brother Xue go to me first." Xue Fucai's worries, Chen Ping understood, and did not force it, "The salary remains the same, it is still five hundred wen a decade." ”

Xue Wangben had nothing to do at home, and occasionally sent some porcelain to the county and city, this job can be done by another person, and it is just right to go to Chen Ping. Xue Fucai rejected Chen Ping, Xue Wang thought that Chen Ping would reduce his salary, but he didn't expect that his salary had not changed.

The salary is as high as that of grandpa.

"This ...... I've only been helping in the brick kiln for a while, and I'm afraid I'm not as skilled as my grandfather. The salary is high, just like his own grandfather, Xue Wang felt the pressure and was a little frightened, "Don't be too much, just give me 200 yuan every ten years." ”

"You can't do it?" Chen Ping asked.

"I can make good bricks. Once the future of the steward in the brick kiln was still the brick kiln of the governor I went to, I don't believe you ask Grandpa. Seeing Chen Ping's suspicions, Xue Wang felt insulted, and pulled his neck to justify, "It's not for Grandpa to stop me, I can also manage a brick kiln for Master Xue now." ”

"That brick kiln is so easy to manage, with your nature, you have to offend people. The steward in the brick kiln, that is the person in the Xue master's family, he moved the kiln bricks out to sell, that is also his own business. When others saw it, they didn't say much, "What do you care about those things?" Xue Fucai trained his honest son Xue Wang, "Didn't I go to intercede and stuff some silver, you still have the life to come back?" ”

"Later, didn't Tang Gou take care of the brick kiln anymore and was transferred to another place by Master Xue?" Xue Wang is a dead man, others are good to him, he thinks about being good to others, Xue Xiong asked him to go to the brick kiln to help, Xue Wang really stared, and found that Tang Gou was selling green bricks in private, and directly told Xue Xiong about it.

In front of everyone, Xue Xiong praised Xue Wang and reprimanded Tang Gou, saying that he wanted to reward Xue Wang with some money.

But now, a year later, the money has not been cashed.

"It's true that he was transferred, but where did Tang Gou go? From brick kilns to porcelain kilns, this is a reprimand and punishment. Xue Fucai suppressed his voice and scolded Xue Wang, "Who is Tang Gou?" It's Master Xue's brother-in-law, not only did your beating be in vain, but the money I prepared for you to marry a wife was also allowed to get in. ”

After speaking, Xue Fucai sighed heavily. Chen Ping listened on the side, and then realized that there was such a reason inside. Taking advantage of the convenience of his position to make some money, this is normal anywhere.

Tang Gou is Xue Xiong's wife and brother, and some of his actions in the brick kiln are only afraid that they happened with Xue Xiong's acquiescence. It can't be said that it was because he was quite satisfied with a certain action of the Tang clan at night, which gave Tang Gou a convenient way to fish for oil and water.

Who would have thought that Xue Wang would break it and call it away in front of him. Xue Wang's beating was not said in vain, and even his wife was compensated.

"Grandpa, didn't you just give Qianwen money? How...... What is it that will ...... me? Also lost? Xue Wangne said, glanced at Chen Ping, this matter of marrying a wife was repeatedly mentioned in person, which was quite embarrassing.

"You are injured like that, and you still want to go to Tang Gou, I want to say that I have lost a lot of money, you have to let Tang Gou fight again." Xue Fucai said, "Okay, don't think about it so much." Since Brother Ping values you now, if you are willing to open a brick kiln, you can go, do it well, don't mistake people's business. ”

After a pause, Xue Fucai assured Chen Ping: "Brother Ping, don't worry, although Xue Wang has not learned my tenth-layer skills, he also has seven or eight floors, and he can still do this brick kiln." There are still some households in the village, and I will help you inquire tomorrow, and choose a few to work with Xue Wang, and you must build a brick kiln and not let your money be given in vain. ”

"Okay, as long as it's someone brought by Brother Xue, I'll also pay for work." Chen Ping nodded, this is exactly what he wants, "It's the same monthly end, and when they go to Baitu Village, I will give them another price, and I will never treat them badly." What do you think? ”

If it is an ordinary manpower, this price cannot be compared with Xue Wang, and it will be much lower. But if he really has the ability, Chen Ping is willing to spend money.

After agreeing and saying a few more words, Chen Ping and Xue Fucai, father and son, said goodbye. The sky is already dark, and the grandmother at home should be worried.

Out of the courtyard, Chen Ping walked out of the village, the houses in the village were gradually shrouded in the night, in the blur, there were occasionally a few points of light, with a few smoke, swaying out of the roof of the house, scattered in the night wind.

Chen Ping had just walked through a room, and a black shadow rushed out of the inclined place, and the two collided in one place before they could avoid it.

"Catch the thief, don't let the thief escape." Then the shouting rang out, and a group of people seemed to be approaching with something.

When the black shadow collided, Chen Ping couldn't avoid it, his hands were already blocked in front of his chest, and when the man came closer, he pushed it, and he took a few steps back and stood still without falling. The other party was not so lucky, and fell to the ground on all fours.

But the man was overturned, but he did not hurry to get up, but went to lift the hakama and hold on to his belt.

"Ding Jin?" There was a strange smell, Chen Ping frowned, looked closely, and found that the disheveled black shadow in the panic on the ground had only been seen, "Why are you not dressed properly, and you went to sleep?" ”

"It's you, boy." Ding Jin pulled his belt with one hand, pulled his robe, looked up at Chen Ping, and recognized it, the sound behind him was even closer, and there was the sound of sticks hitting and impacting, "Help me stop those people." ”

Chen Ping looked around, pointed to a latrine behind the wall and said, "Go there." ”

"Latrine?"

"Thatched pit!"

Ding Jin hesitated for a moment, hesitating.

"Don't let that person run away, you actually dare to steal something from the master's house, and if you catch it today, you have to break your leg and throw it into the water." When the man approached, he roared angrily, "Look around, look carefully in the pile of rice stalks, and the dark ground in the corner." ”

Chen Ping raised his eyes and glanced at the latrine. Ding Jin took a breath and walked over.

There was a loud sound, and a foul smell wafted out.

After a while, four or five people came over from the corner of the house with wooden sticks, found Chen Ping, looked at it for a long time, and said sharply: "Hey, that kid, have you seen a person in a robe running past here?" ”

"Is it a cripple, running up and leaning over?" Chen Ping asked.

Half-carrying a long hakama, this ran diagonally, as if lame.

"Where did that man go?" The person who came was busy asking.

Chen Ping pointed to Tushui in the east: "I saw him jump into Tushui." ”

This man should be in charge, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered: "Don't let him run away, take a fire fold, light a torch, and go all the way down the Tu Shui to me, even when you go to Xia Tu Village, you must find him for me." (To be continued.) )
