Chapter 52: A wave of unsettled waves rises again
When the wine and food are ready, Xiao Yao is not good at eating people's food plainly, so he dragged the shopkeeper to sit down and drink a few glasses of Liao to express his gratitude. Qin Mu was warm and not pretentious, so he sat down to have a few drinks with Xiao Yao.
The two were not familiar with each other, but with the incident of Xiao Yao last time, Qin Mu was very impressed by Xiao Yao, and he chatted today, so he naturally praised Xiao Yao for a while. "I don't know if today's son is interested in taking a look again, or can I have another couplet, haha"
Qin Mu originally used a few couplets upstairs to chat about some topics, but he didn't expect to hear himself mention yƬ, Xiao Yao clapped his hands and applauded. Qin Mu meditated, could it be that this person was still hidden and underestimated this person? When did Qinglong County come to such a young and handsome man? The master is employing people, and if this person can really make the next couplet, it is necessary to report this matter to the master.
The two of them had unconsciously drunk a pot of wine, and after they were full, Xiao Yao and Qin Mu came to the third floor, not looking at anything else, only looking at the second couplet: A temple, two monks, out of the three realms, escape to the five elements, clothes Baina, travel thousands of miles, travel in all directions, through the winter calendar autumn spring and summer.
Xiao Yao walked back and forth, stood still after a while, and replied: "Baita Street, yellow blacksmith, raw red furnace, burning black charcoal, green smoke, flashing blue light, quenching purple iron, sitting north and facing south to fight things." ā
Although Qin Mu is not conceited, he is also a character who is valued by the master, a well-read person, the couplet has been placed here for some days and moons, and he has been thinking and meditating all day long but he has not been able to make this couplet, I can't believe that the person in front of him can make a neat couplet between breaths! It's incredible. At such a young age, he had such an achievement, which made Qin Mu, who was also a powerful man back then, a little embarrassed.
Definitely recruiting this person for the master, this is the most direct thought in Qin Mu's heart at this time.
"The son is outstanding, full of economy, and Qin is convinced. So far, I haven't asked my son's surname Gao? Qin Mu's expression was sincere, and he asked with a sincere fist towards Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao told Qin Mu the name Xiao Qi, and did not lower his vigilance because others were lifting, and told the other party his information lightly. Xiao Yao clearly felt that after he made the second link, Qin Mu's attitude towards himself had changed greatly, although he was becoming more and more respectful, he could vaguely realize that it was not that kind of pure compliment.
The two chatted a few words, and Xiao Yao was ready to leave. There are still some things that need to be done by myself in the afternoon, and I don't want to be delayed here for too long. Before leaving, Xiao Yao knew that Qin Mu would not be able to accept his money, and he was cheeky and hypocritical, but Qin Mu could also see that it was Xiao Yao's deliberate joke, just because in the end, his sentence "I know Boss Qin won't accept it, hehe" What's even more hateful is that he just took it out and stuffed it back before he could shirk it.
As a simple ancient person, Qin Mu expressed his unacceptability to Xiao Yao's shameless behavior, and he couldn't laugh or cry, and it was the young talent who did this kind of thing that he had just been convinced.
After the joke, Qin Mu handed Xiao Yao a jade pendant, only saying that it was a gift for Xiao Yao, and asked him to put it away. Xiao Yao said goodbye to Qin Mu and went straight to the north of the city, which was where the Wang family's base camp was located.
And on Xiao Yao's way to Wang's house, the Zhao family was already in chaos at this time, Zhao Banshan, Su Huairen in the tent, and another gentleman got together, full of sadness, and there was anger and sadness hidden in the sadness.
Zhao Banshan covered his heart with one hand, feeling uncomfortable, Mr. Liu, the account clerk who had worked in the house for more than ten years, would betray the Zhao family, and even stole the most important account book of the Zhao family, and his whereabouts were unknown. This matter is even worse for the Zhao Mansion today, and the account book records most of the purchase channels and other important information of the Zhao family's business, if it is obtained by other merchants, the consequences are absolutely unimaginable.
In the secret room of the Wang family's compound, the two stood opposite each other, and there were two men in strong suits standing motionless at the door.
A fifty-year-old man stared at the person opposite with a painful expression, while the middle-aged man opposite was holding a thick ledger in his hand and looking through it carefully. "I have also handed over the account book to you, please be merciful, let my wife and children go, and someone Liu will kowtow to you." As he spoke, he knelt down and kept kowtowing to the middle-aged man, but the bleeding did not stop, and he didn't know the pain.
The middle-aged man closed the account book in his hand and smiled ruefully, "Old man Liu, you have now become a traitor to the Zhao family, and you can't go back." Don't worry, since you promised to let your whole family members, I naturally won't lose my trust in you, Gaga~" After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the man at the door came over and dragged Old Man Liu out.
After the two left, the middle-aged man gestured to another man in a power suit, and his eyes were cold. "Find a place where no one is around, be sharp, and don't leave your feet behind," the man in the suit nodded and followed.
As soon as Xiao Yao came to the north of the city, he saw a carriage galloping past him. Xiao Yao went to the side of the road and looked at the carriage, thinking in his heart who was so arrogant and galloped on the street with a horse and a cart in the daytime, and happened to look into the car through the gap in the curtain blown by the wind, and couldn't help but be stunned, wasn't that the account manager of the Zhao Mansion? Seeing him in such a hurry, why is this so?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw two men in strong suits galloping past on horseback, as if they were chasing the carriage in front of him. Well? Xiao Yao seemed to have suddenly figured out the key, could it be that the two people behind him were going to be unfavorable to Steward Liu?
The more Xiao Yao thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and in a hurry, where to find the horses, he had to raise his breath and run in the direction of the carriage.
Steward Liu sat in the carriage and sighed, when he was young, he did not do his job, he was down-and-out on the street, he was taken in by the Zhao Mansion, and he married a wife and had children at the age of forty. Looking at his wife and children on the side, his eyelids jumped, and he felt uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that something bad was about to happen. The old man is nearly fifty years old, and his life is peaceful, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would not be able to protect the late festival, and then think about Zhao Fu at this time, I am afraid that he hates himself so much, thinking of this, it seems that ten thousand pierced his heart, and he couldn't help but cry and hated himself useless.
The son moved in his mother's arms, opened his hazy eyes, and looked around, "Mother, I'm hungry." The crisp shout heard the husband and wife in their ears, looking at each other, Steward Liu felt even more heartache, but he could only comfort: "An'er, just bear with it, and wait for Daddy to buy you chicken drumsticks to eat." ā
Just after coaxing his son, the carriage suddenly stopped, and almost threw the three of them out of the car. Steward Liu opened the curtain of the door and looked out, his body was suddenly half cold, his heart beat faster, and he saw two men in strong suits riding tall horses in front of the car, black cloth masked, and their eyes were full of fierceness.
Seeing this situation, the horseman who was driving the carriage had already lost the carriage and fled in a hurry, and immediately the two of them did not intercept him and let him leave, obviously for the old man Liu's family.
"Get out of the car," one of them shouted condescendingly into the car, which was deserted and in no hurry to do anything.
Old man Liu knew that it was difficult to escape the doom today, but he could see it, but he was a little unwilling in his heart, but he also knew that he could not change the result at all with his own powerlessness, so he helped his wife and children get out of the carriage.
