Xiao Zhi heard that Xi Hongdou's shop was on fire, so he hurried over to see that no one was injured, but Xi Hongdou's safety was only temporary, and the Guo family dared to set fire to it in broad daylight now, and no one knew what they would do in the future.

"Don't come to the shop these days, let's close it for a few days." Xiao Zhi said that when the Guo family's affairs are resolved, Xi Hongdou will be completely safe.

Xi Hongdou shook his head: "The Guo family didn't go directly to the yamen in the middle of the night to set fires, but put them here in broad daylight, just to warn, if I really shut down and hid, then Guo Linjiang's old puppet really thought I was scared!" "At this time, you can't go, the fire is not small, and now the officials have reported, it's not the time to retreat, how many people's eyes are watching!

Xiao Zhi knew that Xi Hongdou's stubborn temper was coming up, so he persuaded: "It's dangerous!" ”

"I know, now even if the old man puts the knife to his neck, I will have to die standing up!" After Xi Hongdou finished speaking, he looked back at his messy shop and said: "Expanding the scale of business, isn't the Guo family so bullish because they are squires and wealthy businessmen, and they are not afraid of the sky and the earth?" After that, whatever the Guo family does, I will do whatever the business, even if I throw money, I will smash the Guo family into poverty! ”

Xiao Zhi smiled bitterly, Xi Hongdou, a fan of money, can still say the words of a loser like "throwing money", which seems to have provoked the bottom line.

"How do you smash it? The Guo family has long gained a firm foothold in Lihong County, even if you want to spend money, you have to have a place, right? "Xiao Zhi doesn't understand, but if you want to shake the Guo family's status in Lihong County, I'm afraid it's not easy.

Xi Hongdou was speechless: "I don't believe that the other bosses who do business are all living their existing lives with peace of mind, and there must be people who want to carve up the Guo family!" "The only goal of a businessman is money, even if the Guo family has business dealings now, it is also based on money, as long as the interest structure changes, then the Guo family is not a big deal in Lihong County!

Xiao Zhi listened to Xi Hongdou's words and felt that it made sense, but it was not easy to rely on Xi Hongdou alone to bring down the Guo family, and he needed to help in secret.

However, Xi Hongdou asked: "What kind of bullshit is too guarded to be the backer of the Guo family, I'm afraid it's not easy to get!" ”

"Xue Ling is a greedy person, whoever has money is his eyes on whom, if the Guo family has a disadvantage, he will not care, and for him it is just a change of person to collect money." Xiao Zhi felt that Xue Ling was not an insurmountable mountain for a while, and these corrupt officials all had weaknesses, that is, they were not profitable and could not afford to be early, Guo Linjiang died of his nephew, and it should be seen that Xue Ling had more ingredients with the mud here, and even if he had money in the future, he should not throw it into Xue Ling's bottomless pit.

Xi Hongdou and Sister-in-law Ruxiangliu picked up the shop again, and the water-stained grain Xi Hongdou was cleaned out, anyway, the yamen had so many mouths to eat, so she shipped it back directly.

"Sister-in-law Liu, it's not safe in the shop, why don't you go home for a few days first." Xi Hongdou said what Xiao Zhi said to her and to Sister-in-law Liu, maybe she would set fire to her in the future, in case she was not there, if something happened to Sister-in-law Liu, she would not be at ease.

Sister-in-law Liu shook her head: "I'm fine." ”

Xi Hongdou said: "Are you afraid that you won't come to work and won't be paid?" I will make up for you every day, if there is more, but there is always enough food and drink, it is too dangerous here, I can withstand my stall, if it is ......" Before she finished speaking, Sister-in-law Liu said: "Since I have a salary, then I have to work, I am really fine, if something happens again, I will run away, let me take the owner's money for nothing and not work, I don't want to go." ”

Seeing that Sister-in-law Liu insisted, Xi Hongdou didn't force it anymore, and he had a personal livelihood, but seeing that Sister-in-law Liu didn't seem to be an ordinary person when she talked and did things, Xi Hongdou chatted.

"My sister-in-law should have read a lot of books before, and her family used to be a scholarly family?" Xi Hongdou asked.

Sister-in-law Liu smiled: "It's true, but when I got to my father's generation, I only gave birth to one, and my parents are not in good health. I heard my grandfather say that there used to be a product of Dayuan in the family, but that was all from the previous dynasty, and now it can only be used as gossip and talk. Sister-in-law Liu smiled after speaking, if she hadn't met an owner like Xi Hongdou who didn't mind that men and women could find errands as long as they were able, I am afraid that I would really not be able to make a living too smoothly.

Xi Hongdou nodded after hearing this, in the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan has really flown into the homes of ordinary people.

When Xi Hongdou looked at the account book, he calculated the current daily flow, and the money that could be left rich was not much, and he had said such bold words in front of Xiao Zhi before, and now if he wants to do something, he really doesn't know where to start.

However, Xi Hongdou also has some ideas now, this is not far from Hui, she decided to write a letter to Daguli in Hui, she is also familiar with the barbecue stall, this north should eat more beef and mutton than Kyoto City, the barbecue stall will definitely explode in the short term!

The next day, Xi Hongdou sent the letter, and the letter also specially reminded Daguli that the convoy of cattle and sheep had better be able to fight, otherwise how many cattle and sheep would be looted in Shuobei Prefecture.

The days passed day by day, and the Guo family seemed to be obedient after that, and there was no movement at all, but Xiao Zhi knew that the Guo family would not give up, but was just waiting for an opportunity.

At night, Xi Hongdou got up in a daze, and when he walked to the thatched house, he saw a shadow flashing from the wall, and then he saw a person looking at her in amazement at the base of the wall.

"Someone's coming, there's a thief!" Xi Hongdou shouted out directly, turned his head and ran.

I couldn't see the situation inside the yamen outside the yamen, and it seemed to be calm outside, but at night, the four brothers of the Lin family took turns to keep vigil, and when they heard the shouting, Lin Da woke up in a daze, and hurriedly rushed over with his brothers.

The thief saw that he was so unlucky, so he wanted to run over the wall again, but Xi Hongdou saw that the medicine slipped away, squatted down and picked up a stone and threw it over, the thief saw that he touched the wall, and was smashed down by a stone.

Xiao Zhi arrived at this time, and needless to say, he subdued the person with three punches and two kicks, and the four brothers of the Lin family directly detained the person, and a group of people surrounded the thief.

"Which hill? Who commanded you to come? Xi Hongdou asked, holding a mallet for laundry in his hand, with the intention of lynching.

The thief naturally refused to say, so he said: "You don't need to ask, the most taboo thing for us Jianghu people is to betray our brothers!" ”

"I see that your brother is going to throw you away, your brother is so powerful, why haven't you gone out for so long, and they didn't say to save you?" Xiao Zhi sneered: "If it's a brother, shouldn't you also stick a knife in your ribs, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire should also rush in to save you?!" ”

The thief didn't say a word, he was just a little minion, just a little drill to explore the way, and now that he fell into the hands of the government, he was afraid that he would be ...... There is less bad luck!

Xi Hongdou asked at this time: "You are also a thief who dares to break into the yamen, and you don't even know your mountain and name, it's a pity, it's a pity!" When the time comes, he will be a nobody if he cuts off his head, tsk! ”

When the thief heard this, he said: "Our White Tiger Mountain is not afraid of heaven and earth!" If you don't change your name and sit down and don't change your surname, Zhou Xiami is also! ”

Xi Hongdou laughed, and directly patted Zhou Xiami's head and said, "A little shrimp dares to be so crazy!" Then he looked at Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi also knew about the surrounding bandit forces, and then said: "If you say White Tiger Mountain, it is the territory nicknamed Sun Sihu." ”

Zhou Xiami saw that people had talked about him, and his face was constipated, and then he said: "Our fourth master is different from the cowardly of Mingjiang Long, and we will be able to level your yamen immediately!" ”

Xiao Zhi smiled, it was both a dragon and a tiger, and the bandits around here were also varied, which was a bit interesting!

"Throw it in the cell first, and interrogate it tomorrow." Xiao Zhi said, Lin Da hurried to do it, and when Zhou Xiami saw that he was going to be imprisoned, he said: "You can kill me directly, I will never betray my brother!" He shouted loudly, his eyes were always floating outside the wall, so she smiled, it was estimated that there were accomplices outside the wall, and Zhou Xiami deliberately shouted to his accomplices.

The four brothers of the Lin family continued to guard, but this time they were directly outside the courtyard of Xiao Zhi and Xi Hongdou, these two people are now estimated to have been put on the black gold list, and they have been rewarded to death, the Guo family is really playing big this time, and those bandits nearby will definitely take risks for money!

Xi Hongdou couldn't sleep when he was lying on the bed, and Xiao Zhi didn't sleep directly, so he said: "I'll let you go back to Kyoto City first, now there are more than one bandits from the mountain, in case you can't prevent it, I don't want you to have an accident." "It was he who underestimated the sinister hearts of the people in Lihong County, and now he can't let Xi Hongdou fall into danger.

"I don't go, there is always a way, we are husband and wife, don't you always let me go?" Xi Hongdou hugged Xiao Zhi's arm and said, at this time, the husband and wife have to be of the same heart, she is confident that she will not lag behind, the three stinkers are still a Zhuge Liang, she, Ruxiang, and a Liu Fu plus a piece of the family are always a little useful.

Xiao Zhi hugged Xi Hongdou, and then said, "My mother also said that you should go back to Kyoto City." ”

"That means I'll go back when I'm pregnant." Xi Hongdou said, what's the urgency now?

"Then I'll have to work harder!" Xiao Zhi said that he directly lifted the quilt and blew out the candle.

The four brothers of the Lin family, who were squatting outside, were blowing the cold wind, thinking that the sky would dawn quickly, and a few of them would have a hot bed to make up for sleep!
