Chapter 77: The First Corrupt Official (7)
Early the next morning, Mo Zi arrived as promised. With Zhou Wen, she said that she was waiting at the side door of the back hall of Zhuyuji, and she buckled the door knocker.
"Wait, I'll help people out." Zhou Wen couldn't give Mo Zi a good face because of the loss of the pair of beads, and the title was saved, so he closed the door coldly.
Mo Zi leaned on the wheels behind him, and his mood was not affected by Zhou Wen's stinky face.
"Brother Mo, how can I see what his boss doesn't want to look like?" Cen Er took the place of the stinky fish today, and the stinky fish had already returned to the steaming Xialing to prepare for the departure.
"The beads that sold us 200,000 taels at a cost price of 5,000 taels are naturally reluctant." After Mo Zi went back yesterday, except for Shui Jingzhu and Yuan Cheng's life experience that he was going to privately enter his pocket, he didn't hide other things, and told Cen Er about them.
Although Cen Er felt dangerous at first, as soon as he heard Shui Jingzhu, he hurriedly asked what Mo Zi was like. Mo Zi said carefully, his eyes lit up, and he said that it should be true. It turned out that unlike Mo Zi, who didn't know anything about Buddha Zhenzhai, Cen Erjiu heard of his name and knew the obsession of the descendants of the Min family with Shuijingzhu. Therefore, no matter what, he couldn't object, and even said happily that he thought he was losing a return fee, but unexpectedly, a big pie fell from the sky, and the God of Wealth sent it to the door. With this bead in hand, Qiu Sanniang can do whatever she wants to make a living calmly.
"Listen to you, that bead is not his, it's the first greed-" Cen Er crooked his mouth, quite despised Zhou Wen's snobbery.
"Cen Er, from now on, it's best not to say these four words." Mo Zi motioned for him to be silenced, "You can call him Mr. Yuan." "The prime minister of the former dynasty of South Germany, Mr. Cheng is still qualified.
"Look at my stupid mouth." Cen Er stretched out his hand and slapped himself in the mouth, "Don't say anything more." I mean, since Mr. Yuan is a big boss, Zhou Wen has nothing to be reluctant about. ”
"I guessed too. Who knows what the relationship between the two is. Whatever it is, if you can give us beads anyway. "If it doesn't affect herself, she won't study it, she loves to protect herself.
The door opened again, and Yuan Cheng, who was lying on his arms hanging on his fat back like a Maitreya Buddha, was still wearing a cloak and his prison clothes were stained with blood, and he was about to hang up.
"Boss Zhou, have you ever asked a doctor?" Seeing Cen Er carefully help people into the carriage, Mo Zi asked Zhou Wen.
"Your Excellency won't let me please." Zhou Wen was still a little dark-faced, but when he saw the curtain of the car lowered, he was obviously relieved.
Mo Zi saw it in his eyes, and his heart was like a mirror, "What about the adult's injury?" ”
"How do I know?" Zhou Wen's confidence became stronger, "The body of an adult is ten thousand gold, how can I and other small people look at it at will?" In short, I will hand over to you a great living person, and since you have been paid, you will get the job done. ”
Mo Zi didn't bother to bother with him, so he kicked into the car and beckoned Cen Er to come out and drive the horse. When Cen Er grabbed the reins, she bent over and entered the carriage.
This was originally a carriage for loading, but the carriage was not comfortable, and it was made of cheap wood with high hardness, and after sitting for a long time, the bones would panic. Considering that the bad guy gave her 200,000 taels for nothing, she didn't want to treat it too casually. In particular, I bought cushions and quilts, and smoked cloud grass pills prepared with white lotus to help relieve pain.
"My lord? My lord? Zhou Wen photographed the carport outside, lifted the curtain and shouted inside.
"Boss Zhou, don't you regret it and want to carry your family back again?" Mo Zi sat on Yuan Cheng's right hand.
Zhou Wengan glared at Mo Zi, ignored her, and continued to call Yuan Cheng, "My lord, then you are leaving, this ...... I ...... "slurred and spitted and had a wrong look in my eyes."
"Zhou Wen." Yuan Cheng's posture is exactly the same as yesterday's, sitting leaning, wearing his hair to block his face, and he can't see his facial features and expressions.
"Yes, yes." Zhou Wen was busy.
"You've been with me for so long, you should know who I am. Once I'm safely on board, Jewel is yours. Yuan Cheng's voice was weaker than yesterday.
"The adults have always made a promise, Zhou Wen didn't dare to doubt it, but this name change ...... "Everyone is gone, and there is no basis for what he says."
"A month later, someone will send me the title deed and a letter from the government with your name on it. From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other, you know for yourself. The corners of Yuan Cheng's chapped and bloody lips suddenly appeared with a faint smile, "Brother Mo, excuse me, let's go." ”
"Master Xie." Zhou Wenle grinned and retracted his hand.
Almost at the same time, Mo Zi heard the door closing.
"Call me ruthless?" She smiled coldly, "Lord Yuan seems to be entrusted to no one. ”
"You are wrong, if I had entrusted someone else, I am afraid that I would have been put back in prison by now. Zhou Wen, although he is not a good person, can dare to take risks for the sake of profit. I tempted him with a jewel, but he did not get any benefit, and he would definitely not betray me. Besides, he helped me make a lot of money. I left Nande and probably didn't come back for a while. The person is not there, and the shop is empty under my name, so it is better to give it to him. Yuan Cheng rested for a while, and then said, "Besides, Zhu Yu Ji has lost my Yuan Cheng, and it will soon become a grocery store selling women's hairpins, so what's the pity?" ”
Mo Zi thought to herself, too, the biggest source of Zhuyu Ji is gone, and of course the situation is getting worse. Zhou Wen was greedy for immediate profits, and he was anxious to clear up the relationship with the Qin criminals, so how could he think of a long prospect.
"If you don't mind, from now on, can I call you sir, so as not to fall into the ears of those who have a heart." The car began to jolt, and Mo Zi was ready to listen to him moan.
I didn't expect him to sit cross-legged, his back against the wall of the car and still straight.
"It's okay, Brother Mo can also call Yuan by his name." Yuan Cheng's qi is weak, and his voice is always clear.
"Sir, you might as well lie down and rest. From the city to my docking, the express train takes two hours. My carriage was originally used to pull goods, and it was not as comfortable as an ordinary carriage, and the skeleton fell apart after sitting for too long. I see that my husband is not lightly injured, so it is better to lie down and sleep more and maintain his physical strength. Mo Zi couldn't let Cen Er slow down, because it was himself who had made an appointment for everyone to leave at noon, so he couldn't be late.
"Lie down, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up; When I fall asleep, I may never be able to open my mouth. He didn't want to die, and he couldn't die, Yuan Cheng sat stubbornly, "This cushion and quilt are new, Brother Mo is kind, and Yuan is grateful." ”
In this physical condition, he can still have a keen sense of observation, and Mo Zi has really gained insight.
"Sir, don't thank me. I received the benefits, and this little thing can still be done. As long as it is not exchanged for the lives of a boatload of people, if the gentleman has any requests, he can only mention it. If it is reasonable, I will do my best to satisfy it. Mo Zi said sincerely.
In a big sense, she is like this, which may be said to be a dog's leg. However, under this hierarchical social system, what is the benefit of righteousness for a helpless woman? Even though Yuan Cheng is a thorn in the eye of the people of Quannande, now she is her black purple boat passenger. When they got on her boat, they shared their lives. And he also promised that if there was an accident, he would cut himself off and not implicate her and others.
Why be harsh on a man whose life is on the line?
