After inquiring about the intention of the Dongchang fanzi, Wu Shigong knew that it was sent by Hu Ming, who was in charge of the south of the city.

Of course, Hu Ming knows Wu Shigong's background, and Wu Shigong's father-in-law can be said to be the most intimate confidant of Wei Zhongxian, the prince of Dongchang Factory. He even got a message from Wei Zhongxian, the public of Dongchang, in the morning, asking all stalls and hundreds of households in Dongchang to fully support the disaster relief work of Xue Lian and Wu Shigong Weng's son-in-law. Hu Ming himself did not know about Wu Shigong's visit in the morning, but when Hu Ming went out for lunch, he heard the guards at the gate of Dongchang tell him as if jokingly: There was a deputy commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division who came to visit him, and after that, he was driven out by the guards. As soon as Hu Ming heard it, he knew that it must be Wu Shigong, and now he was in a hurry. first shook his hand and gave the Dongchang guards a few slaps, punches and kicks a lesson. Then, he had to find a way to make up for the relationship with Wu Shigong.

But now if he goes directly to Wu Shigong, Hu Ming can't let go of this shelf, and he is afraid that if the eldest young master Wu Shigong loses his temper and gives him a look, then Hu Ming will be even more embarrassed. So, he went to his friend Li Pengfei, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, and the two jointly issued an invitation, inviting Wu Shigong to have a banquet tomorrow night, so as to make up for the relationship between the two sides. It's best to be able to form any kind of friendship.

Of course, Wu Shigong didn't know the little Jiujiu in Hu Ming's hundred households, but from the look and tone of the Dongchang fanzi who sent the invitation, he also knew that the Dongchang hundred households wanted to win over the relationship between the two parties. For Wu Shigong, this situation is of course unwanted. Moreover, Wu Shigong was going to visit Li Qianhu of Jinyiwei and get acquainted at the banquet, which would kill two birds with one stone.

In addition, the current blockade of the ruins site and the future treatment of the ruins are also inseparable from the cooperation of the two departments of the factory and health. Of course, the benefits of cleaning up the rubble are also indispensable to the benefits of the factory guard. Because, there are still a lot of possessions buried under the rubble. Although a lot of the items must have been picked up by the victims within a month after the explosion at the Wanggong factory, and some of the items cleared out when cleaning up the ruins in the future must be returned to the victims, there must have been a lot of ownerless property. Isn't that Sun Chengxiu still buried more than 1,200 taels of silver under the ruins?

So, Wu Shigong happily expressed his attitude to the Dongchang fanzi who came to send the invitation, and he would definitely participate in this banquet. And he called someone to come and gave him five taels of silver as a reward. Seeing that the mission was successfully completed, and there was extra money, Nafanzi was also happy to go back to report the news.

After that time left, Wu Shigong saw that it was almost time to fall into the office, so he called Xu Yimu over and asked him to release the people who had picked up their belongings in the morning. However, before these people leave, they should put a handprint on the pledge so that they can promise not to commit it again in the future.

Unexpectedly, there was a small accident, and everyone else obediently pressed their handprints on the guarantee and left, but there was a man in his forties, but he refused to press it, and he was still yelling. This made Wu Shigong a little angry: he let them go gently, how could there be people who didn't know what to do?

Wu Shigong asked someone to escort the man into the lobby, although he knew that he was not qualified to try the case, but today he was going to taste the taste of the old man. After letting the man kneel, Wu Shigong began to ask what had happened, making the man so unconvinced.

It turned out that the man's surname was Zheng, and he opened a cloth shop on the side of Xuanwumen. After the explosion, the cloth shop and several of the guys in the cloth shop were all wiped out. That shopkeeper Zheng had a big life, and he happened to go out to talk about business that day and escaped. But the cloth shop is the work of the shopkeeper Zheng's life, so the shopkeeper Zheng guarded the ruins of the cloth shop, trying to clean up some items and recover some losses.

Available today. A few splashes came up from the ruins, rummaging through the cloth shop. Of course, the shopkeeper Zheng stepped forward to stop it, and the two sides quarreled. It happened that Xu Yanmu led the soldiers to inspect here, so he arrested both sides into the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses. Unexpectedly, by now, the Terracotta Division had let go of those splashes again, so the shopkeeper Zheng was quite unconvinced, so he made a fuss in the Yamen of the Terracotta Division.

What's going on? Didn't he tell Xu Zhimu to send those people to other yamen for the crime of robbery? It was not easy to say much in front of the shopkeeper Zheng, so Wu Shigong still let the shopkeeper Zheng kneel, and asked Xu Yimu to follow him to the inner hall to ask what was going on.

When they arrived at the inner hall, Xu Yimu and Wu Shigong explained the reason. It turned out that Xu was not familiar with the business on the street. Those pimpies were members of a gang in Southtown. The gang is not big, but the big leaders of the gang are more fierce and vindictive, so most people are reluctant to mess with them. After Xu Yanmu caught those splashes into the yamen, some people recognized them, and in order to calm the situation, they were also detained and released when they fell into the yamen.

After listening to the reason for Xu Yanmu's treatment, Wu Shigong thought that it was understandable for Xu Yimu to do this. But he couldn't let the gang come around, so Wu Shigong wanted to send someone to the leader of the gang to warn him. looked at Xu Yanmu's obscene appearance, and thought about Jihua, who Wang Baihu had been busy planning military training for the past two days, so Wu Shigong asked Xu Yanmu to inform Wu Mian and asked Wu Mian to bring a few soldiers to the big leader of the gang tomorrow to warn him.

Wu Shigong returned to the lobby and politely asked the shopkeeper Zheng not to kneel, but to stand up and speak. He bluntly explained the reason to the shopkeeper Zheng and asked for the understanding of the shopkeeper Zheng. Of course, it doesn't hurt if the shopkeeper Zheng doesn't understand, if the shopkeeper Zheng wants to touch the stone with an egg, go to the gang to ask for an explanation. Zuihou, Wu Shigong politely proposed to the shopkeeper Zheng to send a few soldiers to escort him home, at least this practice also gave the gang a hint that it could temporarily protect the safety of the shopkeeper Zheng.

After listening to Wu Shigong's confession, the shopkeeper Zheng looked helpless, but he also knew that this was Wu Shigong's kindness, so he thanked him. After calling the two soldiers, the shopkeeper Zheng reported the address of the cloth shop where he was located. Until now, Shopkeeper Zheng has built a straw hut next to the ruins of the cloth shop to live in. But after listening to the address of the cloth shop, Wu Shigong felt that the more he thought about it, the more familiar he became, he suddenly thought of the address recorded on the note in the purse, opened the purse and took out the note, it turned out that the shopkeeper Zheng was the shopkeeper who opened the cloth shop by borrowing his shop.

This is different, after clarifying his identity, Wu Shigong invited the shopkeeper Zheng to the inner hall, and the two chatted. It turned out that the shopkeeper Zheng was a businessman, and he accumulated some money from the south to the north, plus he accumulated some contacts when he was a businessman, and he went to the capital to rent a shop and open a cloth shop a few years ago. The cloth business is also good, but the shopkeeper Zheng is also old, and he wants to go back to his hometown for a few more years, so he doesn't have a shop, so he has been renting it like this.

But this time Wang Gong's factory exploded, then Zheng's shopkeeper must have lost all his money. And he borrowed a batch of cloth on credit by virtue of his relationship, and those debts had to be repaid, and in desperation, the shopkeeper Zheng wanted to rescue a batch of cloth from the ruins, and then sold the land in his hometown to repay the debt.

After Wu Shigong heard this, he assured the shopkeeper Zheng that he would let the soldiers guard the ruins of the cloth. Moreover, he took out ten taels of silver and gave it to the shopkeeper Zheng, which was regarded as an emergency in the rivers and lakes. I don't know what kind of Jianghu person the current Commander Wu is? Moreover, Wu Shigong also needs a person with management skills now. Wu Shigong proposed to the shopkeeper Zheng: he wants to open a gambling house on the ruins of the cloth shop, and if the shopkeeper Zheng is interested, the construction and management of the gambling house can be done by the shopkeeper Zheng. After doing this for a few years, Zheng's shopkeeper's debts were paid off. If at that time, Shopkeeper Zheng wants to go home to retire, at least there is still a place in his hometown.

Shopkeeper Zheng felt that Wu Shigong's family was really good, and he was also very kind-hearted (if Wu Shigong knew what Shopkeeper Zheng said about himself, he would definitely vomit blood and die), plus he was indeed desperate, so after thinking about it for a while, he agreed.

A busy day finally passed, after the fall of the government, Wu Shigong returned to the Xue Mansion, and as soon as he arrived at the gate, he heard the porter say to him: "Uncle, Hou Ye asked you to go to his study as soon as you return to the house." ”
