Section 125 Affection
The old man used extraordinary means to quickly solve the chaos of the Tea Bureau. He first scolded Gonggong Qiu speechlessly, so that the businessmen didn't know why, and then the businessmen who bluffed with a tough attitude bowed their heads and approved.
The mastermind behind the scenes is to be investigated, and business is to be done as usual.
Rather than be stubborn, it is better for Yun Zhaoguo to bear the guilt himself.
All the businessmen are profit-heavy businessmen, and they will naturally calculate the benefits and losses clearly!
In the afternoon, when the rain was thin, the old man transferred Yan Shun and divided the pair into eight teams to escort the merchants out of the city and back to China.
After everything was done, he found Zhu Biao to ask where Shen Mu and the others were.
Zhu Biao had already heard the report about the tea bureau in the morning, and knew that Zhu Cheng's life was all saved by the old man, and when he saw the real person, he quickly knelt down, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Thank you, old man, thank you, old man......"
The old man didn't care, and didn't help Zhu Biao, but said indifferently: "Lord Zhu, you don't have to thank me. Is there anything wrong with Brother Ling, and whether there will be anything is too early to say. What I'm doing is just what I do, and I'm talking about a rational word. ”
Zhu Biao was slightly stunned, confused when he listened, and said, "Old man, do you mean that there will be difficulties for your brother?"
The old man said: "This depends on whether he has done anything rebellious......
Zhu Biao waved his hand again and again: "How dare you, my brother is timid and afraid of things......"
The old man said impatiently, "Okay, I see." Where is the Shen Mu you invited now?"
Zhu Biao was slightly stunned: "Shen Mu, what is the old gentleman looking for him?"
The old man said, "Naturally, there is something!
Zhu Biao sneered on his face, and secretly scolded: If it weren't for the fact that you were from Murong Wangfu and saved your brother's life, how could this official allow you to be arrogant.
But he said, "Mr. Shen...... I heard that he was also at the post house last night...... The inn where they stayed was not far in front and I took my husband over ......."
The old gentleman said, "No need...... You show the way, I'll arrange it myself. ”
In the lobby of the inn, Sun Yike and the others were all grief-stricken, wiping their tears or whimpering.
Ma Linzi and Zong Ming had bandaged their wounds at this time and were lying in the guest room to rest.
Throughout the inn, the atmosphere was unusually dull.
This is sad for the shopkeeper, although this group of people is generous, but now they are all sad, like a dead father. After a circle like this, others saw it and thought it was their own funeral again, which made them still do business.
Unfortunately, he couldn't offend these people, so the shopkeeper had to sit boredly on the high stool, propping his chin and fiddling with the abacus beads.
Two people walked in from outside the store, one looking bad and the other tall. But it was the old man and his attendants.
The shopkeeper looked at the visitor, hurriedly jumped off the stool, and turned out from the account desk to greet him.
"Is the guest officer sharp, or is he staying in the hotel?"
The old man said: "Boss, if you don't hit the point, you can't live in the store, ask you someone?"
The shopkeeper lost interest and said listlessly: "Who are you looking for?"
"Shen Mu, Mr. Shen!"
Sun Yike was the only day when he was not drunk, and he listened carefully in his ears and stood up first.
"This gentleman, dare to ask your honorable name?"
The old man glanced at Sun Yike: "Are you Sun Xuexue?"
Sun Yike was surprised: "It's exactly here......! You're an old ...... Old man?"
The old man smiled faintly, he rarely smiled, as if a smile was more precious than gold: "Sun Xuexue is not drunk, but he almost can't recognize it!"
In this way, I recognized my name first!
Sun Yike hurriedly bowed and said, "Meet the old gentleman in my later life!"
The old man said, "When did you start learning all this red tape...... What about Shen Mu? Who of you is Shen Mu?"
Sun Yike's eyes were slightly red: "Old man, Mr. Shen, he ...... He didn't make it out last night!"
"Fart, if he can't even deal with that little difficulty, why should I come to see him in person!"
"Mr. Shen could have escaped, but he insisted on helping the merchants of the Eight Kingdoms, so he ...... That's why I'm in a desperate situation!"
"Hi...... Did you find the body?"
Sun Yike said: "I found it, but last night the post house was all burned to ashes, and it rained again...... Many traces have been found!"
"You Sun Scholar, if people are burned to ashes, they will eventually leave something behind......"
"What's that?"
The old man said helplessly: "The teeth are ............! I'll send someone to search for it, and don't be here to grieve, it's pointless. According to Shen Mu's plan, what should be done hurry up, don't delay the white tea business!"
Sun Yike was surprised, this old man really lived up to his reputation, and he couldn't hide anything from his eyes.
He was right, now is not the time to be sad and sad, before seeing Shen Mu's corpse, you must first make the plan that Mr. Shen originally arranged.
Shen Mu's death, Sun Yike was very guilty.
If it weren't for the fact that he was drunk and walked a little slower, if it weren't for the fact that he was caught by the people in the barracks as a drunk and delayed time, if it weren't for the fact that he encountered a small group of enemies in ambush on the way.
As long as they can get to the post station in time, the fire will not burn at all, and the merchants of the Eight Kingdoms will not die so many people, and Shen Mu will not be "missing" because of this!
Now that Ma Linzi and others are seriously injured, the white tea business of the Tea Bureau needs to be arranged as soon as possible. The old gentleman is right, if no one can stand up and preside over the overall situation now, then all Mr. Shen's hard work will be wasted.
Sun Yike said goodbye to the old man, immediately went up to the second floor, and asked Ma Linzi and the others about the arrangements of Shen Mu.
Fortunately, the gift boxes made by Shen Mu Ma Linzi and Zong Ming were clear, and Hou Cheng also knew about the rouge powder box.
Sun Yike asked Hou Chengxian to inform Duan Chao and the others of everything in Dingzhou, and asked them to come as soon as possible to decide the next matters.
And I went to the shop where the gift box was made to negotiate follow-up affairs!
Shen Mu had already walked most of the way, and the rest of the things were not troublesome for Sun Yike. What's more, there is Guo Wenyuan to help again. He had been in Fuchao Yinzhuang for some time, and he had learned a little about Shen Mu's business operations.
The two cooperated with each other, but there was no trouble.
When Duan Chao heard Hou Cheng say that Shen Mu was dead, his head was stunned all of a sudden!
didn't care about anything else, handed over all the big and small matters of the righteous qimen to Lu Laosan, Han Fei and others to preside, and rushed to Xingzhai overnight with Zong Bai and Hou Cheng.
Lu Laosan was originally coming noisy, he had a deep relationship with Shen Mu, and when he heard the news of his death, he cried loudly, and his heart was like a pinprick!
But Duan Chao was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he could only leave him behind.
was about to leave the city, Zeng Roushui drove a carriage to meet him.
Duan Chao frowned: "You...... What are you going to do?"
Zeng Roushui took a breath and plucked up her courage to say, "Mr. Shen is also my friend, I heard that he ...... I...... I deserve to go for it!"
Duan Chao said: "This is the business of the old man, what kind of fun are you having with a girl's family!"
Zeng Roushui's chin rose, and he said stubbornly: "Why can you, but I can't? If you stop me from going, I will secretly go by myself." ”
Duan Chao said helplessly: "Okay...... You go, you can go...... Zongbai, you go and drive the horse for Miss Zeng......"
"No! I can do it myself!" Zeng Roushui was categorical, raised the pony whip in his hand, and drove the horse first.
Duan Chao's head was a little bigger...... Seeing that Zeng Roushui was so decisive, she said too much but delayed the time, so she had to go with her!
This woman has a strong personality, if she hadn't met herself at that time, I'm afraid it would be difficult to be a concubine for a big family!
At noon on the second day, the group arrived at Xingzhai. As soon as he entered the inn, Zeng Roushui began to boil medicine for Zhang Rome, Lin Zi and others.
She is not interested in doing business, she just thinks that these people are all brothers of Yiqimen, and she is taken care of by Yiqimen and others, and now that they are injured, she should repay them one by one!
Duan Chao took Zong Bai to inquire about Shen Mu's news.
Zong Bai saw that his brother was not worried about his life, and he had already put his mind at ease. I also heard Zong Ming say that Shen Mu fell into a desperate situation in order to save everyone, and his admiration for Shen Mu was even greater.
However, knowing that the Tea Bureau and Xishan Dao had already taken care of themselves, how could they have time to take care of a Shen Mu.
Merchants who have died in various countries must be registered as soon as possible, and the coffins should be buried in the coffins, and the auspicious days to be selected should be sent back to their hometowns one by one.
This is what the old man personally promised, and it is also the best way to calm everyone's emotions.
In the evening, Hou Cheng introduced Sun Yike to Duan Chao, because there was no recommendation from Shen Mu, and Shen Mu's life and death were uncertain now, Duan Chao was in no mood to care about anything else, but just said "um". He did not answer any more.
Sun Yike was a little embarrassed, but it was normal to think about it. He took a sip of water, and since the morning he had been busy, it was the only thing that had gone into solitude.
"Boss Duan, entrusted by Mr. Shen, has arranged the share of the gift box for white tea today...... This is the bill, please look at it Boss Duan!"
Shen Mu once explained to everyone that he could not be called a big boss in front of others, and everything had been done in the name of business to introduce himself, so as not to cause extraneous branches.
Duan Chao said: "Since it is arranged by Brother Shen, you have full authority to do it...... Oh, by the way, just go back and talk to Hou for a while!"
Sun Yike was a little stunned, and said, "Boss Duan, I thought it would be better for you to take a look for yourself!"
Duan Chao was already upset, Shen Mu was alone in Zhang Luo on weekdays, and he didn't need to bother at all. What's more, even if he wanted to see it today, he didn't have the heart to care.
Immediately shouted angrily: "Isn't what I said clear enough? What is the use of watching these trivial things? Will Brother Shen come back after seeing it?"
Sun Yike is an old pedant with an eccentric temper. If others admire him, it doesn't matter, the more people shout at him, the more unconvinced he is.
"Boss Duan, there is real money in and out, how much expenses and how much profit there is, and you can't be sloppy at all. If you don't look at it, if something goes wrong, who will bear it? My grandson is just an idle cloud and wild crane, maybe he will go somewhere else one day, if it weren't for Mr. Shen, how would Sun take care of this Laoshizi...... Your boss Duan is no different, there are so many businesses up and down, and so many people rely on you to maintain. If you let it go, who will be able to convince the public? Mr. Shen's whereabouts are unknown now, and you are in a sad mood, why don't we? But we don't feel good in our hearts, and things still have to be done! What if Mr. Shen finds him back one day and sees that everything he has worked so hard for is in vain? What will he think? Is this an explanation to his brother?
