Chapter 109: Confrontation
Mr. Qiu is not chaotic in the face of danger, even in this situation, he is still the first to maintain the reputation of Zong Yuancheng, although Wang Fatzi is not very good at management and business, but this old Mr. Qiu, old and successful, will definitely be Wang Fatzi's right-hand man in the future.
Liu Huo pushed Wang Fatzi, and then pointed at Mr. Qiu.
Fat Wang stepped forward and bowed to Mr. Qiu.
"Thank you, old man!" Wang Fatzi said.
Mr. Qiu hurriedly helped up Wang Fatzi: "The city lord is polite, all this is a crime that he wants to add, and the city lord is innocent." The old man didn't help at all, so how did he say thank you. ”
"I thank Mr. Qiu, not only to prove my innocence in the end. Or for the old gentleman to finally save the reputation of Zong Yuan City. Thank you, sir, for that! Wang Fatzi bowed down again and said.
"Haha, my Zongyuan City is a commercial city! Reputation should be put first, this is also my business, I don't deserve a word of thanks from the city lord! ”
"I just sat in the position of the city lord of this Yuan City, and there are still many things I don't understand. The old gentleman is a person who understands righteousness. Please also ask the old gentleman to tutor me more in the future, Wang will be grateful. Wang Fatzi bowed down again and said to Mr. Qiu.
"Well, that's not quite right. When the city lord Zou was there, because I was very old, I didn't care about the things in the city, and I wanted to cultivate with peace of mind, so I resigned from Yiying's position, went home to make fun of my grandson, and lived for a long time. Now let the old decay come out to do things, I'm afraid that the old decay will have more than enough heart and not enough strength! Mr. Qiu said.
Wang Fatzi wanted to say something, but Liu Huo stabbed him in the back, Wang Fatzi didn't continue, Mr. Qiu shook his hand, confessed his guilt, and said goodbye again.
"Why don't you let me keep the old gentleman?" After Mr. Qiu left, Wang Fatzi turned his head and said to Liu Huo.
"The old gentleman has said this, what is the use of you begging him to go out of the mountain again on the spot." Liu Huo said.
"Shall we give up?"
"Nature can't give up. Although the old gentleman said that he was unintentional about this tedious matter, every time there was something, the old gentleman was still very willing to come forward. It shows that the old gentleman has not completely let go of the corresponding affairs in Zongyuan City. Have you ever heard of Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched house? Liu Huo asked.
"I've heard it, as a Chinese citizen, who hasn't heard of it."
"Since Mr. Qiu still has a heart, he doesn't want to come out to manage these things for the time being. Where you show sincerity, Liu Bei can look at the thatched house three times and pray for Zhu Ge Liang to come out of the mountain, then you will look at the thatched house three times and pray for Qiu Lao to come out of the mountain! Liu Huo said to Wang Fatzi.
"Good!" Wang Fatzi clapped his hands: "All this is up to you!" What about who is locked up where?
"Leave them alone, now that we plan to invite Mr. Qiu out of the mountain. Then we might as well ask his opinion and then make more plans! ”
"Good!" Wang Fatzi agreed.
Liu Huo had no sleep all night, and now the affairs of Zong Yuancheng have tended to be stable, and he has also discovered a benevolent person like Mr. Qiu. If Mr. Qiu can be invited out of the mountain to assist Wang Fatzi, then Liu Huo will not have to worry about Wang Fatzi in the future.
Come to think of this. Liu Huo couldn't sleep anymore, got up from the bed, ran to Wang Fatzi's house and called Wang Fatzi: "Go, don't sleep, you come with me." ”
Wang Fatzi was called up by Liu Huo for not knowing what to do, and the sleepy-eyed Wang Fatzi was pulled to Zongyuan Hall again by Liu Huo.
"If you don't sleep at night, what are we doing here?" Wang Fatzi said in a daze.
"You call a few people in, and we'll ask them for information about Mr. Qiu. Mr. Qiu is very important to you, and we must ask him to come out of the mountain to assist you. We inquired about Mr. Qiu's information, and we knew ourselves and the enemy, and we were invincible. Liu Huo said.
"That's what you're here for the night? Can't we just wait until tomorrow to find someone to inquire? Wang Fatzi's confused eyes were not fully opened, and he struggled to say.
"Yesterday, you just mentioned to Mr. Qiu that you want to invite him out of the mountain, so we had better strike while the iron is hot as soon as possible to show our sincerity. We'll find someone to inquire tonight, and we'll visit Mr. Qiu again tomorrow! Oh, you call someone in, stop the ink! Liu Huo said impatiently.
There was no way, Wang Fatzi walked to the door and said to the guards outside: "Who of you was familiar with Mr. Qiu before, and everyone who knew Mr. Qiu's information came in." Anyone else who knows Mr. Qiu will also find him. ”
After a while, a group of people gathered in the main hall and all stood below.
"Do you know Mr. Qiu well?" Liu Huo asked above.
One of them stood up and said, "When Old Mr. Qiu was still serving in Zong Yuancheng, I was his entourage!" ”
"Then do you know why Old Mr. Qiu didn't continue to serve in Zongyuan City back then?" Liu Huo has always felt that there is something strange about this matter, the age of cultivators is much longer than ordinary people, where is there any twilight and pension. During the day, Mr. Qiu said that if he wants to live for the rest of his life, it is an excuse to tease his grandson.
When the guard heard Liu Huo say, he first looked around nervously.
"It's okay, if you have something, just say it, I'll take care of it for you!" Liu Huo said.
"Yes, that's right!" The guard finally spoke: "Shortly after the death of Deputy City Lord Wang, Old Mr. Qiu and City Lord Zou had a big quarrel. Since then, Mr. Qiu has not been reporting to the city lord, but simply receiving dividends in the city. ”
"Do you know what they're arguing about?" Liu Huo asked.
"We were far away at the time, and we could only hear what you killed, what did you kill, exclude dissidents, and what new policies were? The rest is not audible. The guard said.
"New policy. Exclusion of dissidents? What is it. Liu Huo didn't understand.
But at this time, Wang Fatzi said: "Back then, the reason why Zou Tianfeng killed my father was to eliminate dissidents and implement his new policy. It seems that the quarrel between Mr. Qiu and Zou Tianfeng was also because he was dissatisfied with the new policy introduced by Zou Tianfeng back then, and the reason why he left Zongyuan City and no longer held a position in the city may be because he was worried that he would be killed like my father! ”
"Isn't Mr. Qiu on the same front as us?" Liu Huo tasted it and said.
"It looks like this now!"
"It seems that Mr. Qiu was only forced to leave Zongyuan City back then, but he has never forgotten that the people in the city are happy to live in peace. If this is the case, there are a lot of notes for everything, you and I, tomorrow I will ask Mr. Qiu again, I hope he can go out of the mountain and set things right! ”
On the second day, Liu Huo and Wang Fatzi went directly to Mr. Qiu's mansion with some gifts.
Although Liu Huo and Wang Fatzi came very early, when they arrived at Mr. Qiu's mansion, the people in the mansion told Liu Huo and Wang Fatzi that Mr. Qiu had gone out early and was not in the mansion at this time.
There was no way, Liu Huo and Wang Fatzi could only wait in front of Qiu's mansion. The pedestrians on the road all looked at these two people, like two wooden stakes, motionless in front of Mr. Qiu's mansion.
