Chapter 65: I'm stupid, and I ask Lord Lu for advice
The surnamed Wu only brought a dozen family members, and he couldn't please him at all.
Wu Tongxing is used to being powerful, Wu Tongxing can't wait to tear up the fool who is bewitched by others, but his current situation is not good, and he can't be strong for a while, so he waved his sleeves and said angrily: "Okay, from today onwards, we will break off our righteousness, and we will see in the future." ”
A gang of bandits trekked through mountains and rivers to his territory to play tricks, and it was the birthday boy who hanged himself - he was too long.
When he turned to leave, Wu Tongxing showed murderous intent on his face, and glanced at Xia Qiu fiercely, his eyes were like two sharp knives, piercing people's chests.
Xia Qiu's face did not change, and he looked back with a half-smile without a smile.
Girl, pinching her to death is as easy as pinching an ant.
Wu Tongxing snorted coldly and walked away.
His eyes were dark, and Xia Qiu stared at his back, his face full of indifference. The surname is Wu, he has lived long enough.
The bully came with a show of strength and returned in defeat, and the applause of the people resounded at the city gate.
This thunderous applause seems to be for the good bandits who sent grain into the city, but it is actually for the county magistrate who took office as a new official. It is said that officials and businessmen collude, but Lord Lu is unique, although he hunts down thieves all over the city, but regardless of the danger, he recruits bandits to benefit the people.
Although the thieves have not been caught so far, under the wise leadership of the county commander, most of the grain they lost has been recovered, and now there is a new grain team, and finally they no longer have to be coerced by the surname Wu.
The escort fee was waived, and Xia Qiu booked a banquet in Tianbaolou to invite Lei Da's family.
Money is tight, and the bandits can eat and drink, Xia Qiu feels painful to think about, but Lu Tingxiu saw her sad face, and kindly nodded to her, "Lei Da is a big man, you respect him a foot, he will respect you." ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, and the sullenness that Xia Qiu had held back for a few days finally dissipated a lot. Even if he still has a conscience, knowing that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, Lei Da will reduce her freight by 20%, which should be what he begged for.
is afraid that Wu Tongxing has many subordinates, and he has never been able to find a chance to get rid of him. Now that Lei Da is in charge, he has three or four hundred people under him, and if he has a good relationship with these people, maybe they can help him at a critical time.
However, since the money has been paid, if you want to do it, you have to do it with great fanfare, and you have to let Wu Tongxing know who has the final say in Lin County.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, although Lei Da announced in public that he would reduce the escort fee, but after all, he was born as a bandit, even if he sincerely changed careers, those grain merchants were taboo about their previous evil deeds, and they might not be at ease to hand over the business to him.
What she has to do is to take advantage of the danger to help him, so that he can fight against Wu Tongxing in Lin County.
Xia Qiu asked Ergou to send the news out, and she not only had to do it, but also did a special one.
As soon as the news came out, many businessmen were ready to move. Don't look at Xia Qiu as just a girl, but she is a person from the county order, and the grain shop and medical hall are obviously hers, but in fact, it is all the industry of the county order.
She openly supported Lei Da in charge, obviously instructed by the county order.
Many businessmen secretly handed over prayer notes to the county order, but they all sank into the sea, and they all dug out their hearts to see Lord Lu, and now it is a rare opportunity.
So, many people sent butlers to them, euphemistically hinting that they wanted to attend the dinner.
At that time, Xia Qiu was taking a nap in the grain store, Wu Ze had never seen this meeting, and he hesitated, afraid that he would ruin the owner's business.
It just so happened that Ergou was helping in the store, and he invited people in with a smile.
Knowing their intentions, Ergou was full of embarrassment, and snorted: "Don't hide it from you, Sister Xia did book a banquet in Tianbaolou, but ...... As you know, our shop just opened, and a few days ago we were beaten and robbed, and the business did not make money but lost money. The cost of this banquet is still Sister Xia looking for Boss Zhang on credit, the table and the wine and food have been booked, I am really embarrassed to ask Boss Zhang to take credit again, please be considerate. ”
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and someone immediately took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and quietly handed it over, "My lord wants to ask Sister Xia for a recommendation, and I have business to talk to Lei Da, please be accommodating." ”
Ergou was stunned, and hurriedly stopped: "No, no, no, how can I accept your money, it's not good to spread this, Sister Xia will scold me if she knows, although we are poor, we can't accept bribes." ”
"Little brother misunderstood, what kind of bribery is this." The man smiled attentively, "Lei Da is a righteous man, and he is willing to reduce the escort fee by 30% for us businessmen, we are very grateful, this little meaning is to help Sister Xia feast." ”
"No, no, I can't take ......," he said no, but his hand clenched the silver ticket.
"Little brother, take it, let's raise money for a banquet together, and it has nothing to do with bribery."
"Really?" Ergou didn't understand anything, and looked at everyone innocently, "Let's raise money for a banquet together?" ”
Everyone echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, raise money for a banquet." ”
Ergou suddenly realized, reluctantly accepted the money, and did not forget to say loudly to Wu Ze on the side: "Brother Wu, please take down the pen and paper, write down the money donated by everyone, and then we will make up for it more." ”
Ah, can you still play like this?
Everyone was stunned, and wrote it down in black and white, so donating less and losing face?
No matter what, donate more miles, you can't let other families compare, otherwise the county magistrate will see that the owner is so stingy, and it will be difficult to get in touch with each other in the future.
is clearly donating, but in fact, everyone is clear in their hearts, and this money is paving.
The news spread secretly among the merchants. Once this matter began, many people's flowers and intestines were moved, and they all sent their henchmen to visit.
After days of worry, the matter was finally resolved satisfactorily, Xia Qiu slept very deeply, and did not wake up until the evening.
As soon as I woke up, I saw a thick stack of silver tickets piled up on the table, and the whole person was confused, and I thought that I was crazy about money, and I dreamed of money.
Ergou smiled, "Sister, it's six thousand taels, enough for us to spend a long time." ”
Seeing the donation list clearly, Xia Qiu's face turned white.
Ergou thought she was timid, and explained complacently: "Sister, you don't have to worry, I have already prevented them from playing tricks, so I only charge one hundred taels, don't do more." There were so many people on the scene, I asked them to sign and draw in black and white, they just wanted to make a fuss, what could they do with us? Now it's okay, let's hold a banquet for nothing, not to mention it, and we have won a good reputation. ”
Even if she accepts the six thousand taels, she can't arrange her forgive them.
However, she was worried that they would arrange Lu Tingxiu.
The money is collected if it is not collected, and it is impossible to return it, but it is necessary to talk to him.
When he saw the thick silver ticket, Lu Tingxiu glanced at Xia Qiu, his eyes lit up with joy and anger.
Xia Qiu was a little worried and quietly touched his nose. This money is really inappropriate, shouldn't it hold him back?
After a while, Lu Tingxiu was indifferent, "If you don't take it, then take it." ”
Xia Qiu was overjoyed, and immediately stuffed the money into his arms, revealing a flattering smile, "Lord Xie Lu." ”
Seeing her greed, Lu Tingxiu poured cold water and said: "This money is not for you, but for you." ”
The meat to the mouth, how can there be any reason to spit it out, Xia Qiu hugged the silver ticket tightly and stared at him vigilantly.
Lu Tingxiu despised her superficiality, "If you want money not to be hot, you have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds." ”
Xia Qiu leaned closer, with a thirsty look on his face, and flattered: "I'm stupid, and I ask Lord Lu for advice." ”
