Chapter 123: Kuroko breaks his promise
There is still a day left, and Ma Huangmao, who made an appointment with Wu Congcong, couldn't wait to come to Wujiawan to find Wu Congcong, and always pulled him to his wing, took out 200 hanging money from the waist jacket and put it on the table and said, according to what I said last time, give you 400 hanging money, now give this half first, and then give half after the fact.
Wu Congcong remembered that the sunspots in Jiangnan Town would do this business, he didn't want to do it, but wanted to make some difference in the middle, and wanted a big head.
So, Wu Congcong accepted the money and deliberately said in a low-key manner, if the business is not done, the 200 hanging money will be returned to you, and if the business is done, you can't owe it.
I have to see Wang Jiamu's body before I can pay you the other half. Ma Huangmao said as he scratched with his left and right hands crossed.
That's no problem. It's just two days to get things done. Wu Congcong said firmly.
After Ma Huangmao left, Wu Congcong was about to go out to the town to find the sunspot. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Heizi shouted in front of the door to call out to Master Wu. Wu Congcong greeted him into the door with a smile on his face, and asked what wind blew him here, Wu Congcong said, I have something to do with you.
What are you looking for me? Wu Congcong also led him into the wing room to speak.
I met a man today at the Taihe Aphrodisiac Pharmacy, and he wanted to ask a well-known lawyer to write a complaint and file a lawsuit, so I thought of you, and I have made an appointment with the man to meet at the pharmacy tomorrow evening, and you must go.
Yes, we'll talk about it in person.
Heizi was about to leave, Wu Congcong told him to wait, and then gave him half of the 200 hanging money that Ma Huangmao had entrusted him with his errands. Kuroko didn't take the money immediately, but said, the matter hasn't been done yet, why should you give me the money?
It is to entrust you to do another thing, and after the completion of the matter, I will give you a reward of 100 hanging money. Of course, I'll do what you say first, and then I'll let you do what I gave you. In order to keep it secret, Wu Congcong did not immediately explain the matter, and also told him, don't ask, I will give you a detailed explanation when the time comes.
At dusk the next day, Wang Jiamu, who had already come to the door of the Jiangnan Zhentaihe Aphrodisiac to wait, looked around restlessly, but there was no shadow of the sunspot, let alone a clever lawyer who was good at fighting lawsuits for him.
He asked the guy who sold medicine at the pharmacy if the man with a dark spot on his chin had been here yesterday, and the answer was no. The guy heard the conversation between the two of them yesterday, and smiled sullenly, you can be patient for a while, that sunspot usually doesn't break his promise, he will find you a lawyer. Besides, you won't let him look for nothing.
He introduced me to a lawyer, how much should I pay him?
Then I don't know, you can ask him.
The guy was still gossiping with Wang Jiamu, and suddenly someone said "hi" behind his back, Wang Jiamu turned around and looked, it was none other than Heizi, he smiled darkly, did not immediately talk to Wang Jiamu, but walked into the pharmacy and pretended to be affectionate to wrap around the guy, and his mouth was close to him and he whispered.
But the guy said out loud, I thought you bought the "Pinchun Xiang" brand aphrodisiac again, and if you want to buy that kind of medicine, you will give me 4 hangings.
Heizi paid the money, turned around, and before he could speak, Wang Jiamu, who couldn't wait, cast a mocking look with a little dissatisfaction, and said Heizi, didn't you promise to help me introduce a lawyer yesterday? Why are you the only one here now?
Is it necessary for a lawyer to come to the pharmacy? Kuroko asked rhetorically. He took a small packet of medicine handed over by the guy, stuffed it into his arms, and continued, I have already helped you find a lawyer, he is accepting a lawsuit in Gaojiazhuang, north of Jiangnan Town, and I will take you to him.
Have you met him?
Not only have we met, but we have already made an appointment, and he asked me to take you to Gaojiazhuang to find him.
As they spoke, they went out of the Taihe Aphrodisiac Pharmacy, and Wang Jiamu was anxious to find a lawyer to help fight the lawsuit, so he listened to Heizi and walked with him towards Gaojiazhuang in the north direction of the town.
At this time, the sunset is on the mountain, and its afterglow is so soft, but in the eyes of Wang Jiamu, who is depressed, it is so bleak, and the red luster on the body is like the color of blood.
It was slowly getting dark, and Gaojiazhuang was lit up. Approaching the house, Heizi said to Wang Jiamu, "Man, can I take you to my house for supper first, and then go to the lawyer?" Because now that he is looking for it, someone else is inviting him to dinner, and it is not good to talk about it, so it is better to go to my house first.
Wang Jiamu, who wanted to resign, felt that it made sense, so he followed him.
At this time, there were dogs barking, and it was the barking of several dogs, like the last time they came to Majiazhuang, they were coming at him. But this time the barking was not fierce enough, maybe those dogs saw that there was an acquaintance next to Wang Jiamu, a stranger, who was brought by an acquaintance, of course he was not a bad person, and the dog barked high and low for a while, and then stopped barking.
With the light, Wang Jiamu looked at the direction of the Gaojiazhuang house in the haze, which was a bow shape with an outer arch and a concave inside, which was higher and located on a mountain ridge.
Wang Jiamu suddenly had a strange idea, feeling that Gaojiazhuang was like a big tomb, especially at night.
In fact, Gaojiazhuang was quite lively that night, the men, women and children in the village had an early supper, and they moved out of their homes to sit around the arched field in front of the village to watch the acrobatic troupe from other places perform acrobatics.
This situation, Heizi is clear, Wang Jiamu is not clear, asked him why there are so many people in the front of the village, Heizi said dumbly, Zhuang Shangfa case, the county magistrate brought a group of people to handle the case, and the lawyer called the whole Zhuang people to interrogate one by one, and the lawyer I invited you may be there to accept the case on behalf of others. We didn't go for the time being, lest we go, and we were also suspected of being interrogated. Let them disperse, and the lawyer will naturally come to our house to find me, and if there is anything at that time, you can tell the lawyer.
Wang Jiamu didn't believe it, it was so late, and the people in the county had not yet collected the case? This is also unclear, the case is complicated, and it is possible to work overtime at night to investigate. In general, although Wang Jiamu suspected that what Heizi said was not very credible, there was no reason to deny it.
Kuroko's home is in the west of Gaojiazhuang, and you don't need to go through the front field of the village to enter.
At that moment, Heizi took Wang Jiamu through a narrow and damp alley, and then walked into a heavy hall to the door of the house, which was darkly lit.
Wang Jiamu asked, your parents are not at home? Heizi said that eighty percent was called to the village for interrogation by the people in the county magistrate.
Heizi took out the key to open the lock and pushed the door open, lit the soybean oil lamp, asked Wang Jiamu to sit in the room, and said that he went to the kitchen to make supper, and when it was cooked, he called him to eat.
Wang Jiamu said "um", uneasy. Seeing that Kuroko had gone to the kitchen, he wanted to quietly run to the front yard of the village to have a look, but when he slipped out of the alley, he heard the sound of dogs, and quietly returned to Kuroko's house for fear of being bitten.
At this time, Wang Jiamu smelled the aroma of pasta, and saw Heizi come out of the kitchen, put a bowl of noodles with a poached egg on the dining table, and said with a smile, man, eat! You must be hungry. After eating, the lawyer may come.
Wang Jiamu said okay, you are too polite. Seeing that Kuroko was empty-handed, he asked, "Are you?" Kuroko had already turned around, and said again, I'll go add another bowl, what a deal! Kuroko had a dark smile on his face and walked towards the kitchen.
Wang Jiamu was really hungry, and with a gust of wind and clouds, the big blue-edged sea bowl saw the bottom. He also stretched out his soft tongue to lick the noodles and soup on the side of the bowl, and the empty bowl on the table looked like it had been washed.
Now that he was almost full, of course he could eat a little, even if he had a little soup, and he wanted Kuroko to come out of the kitchen and asked him if he wanted to add more.
But Kuroko never came out, and it was inconvenient to call him.
Wang Jiamuku sat here and heard the sound of clattering metal in the kitchen, as if Kuroko was cutting something with a kitchen knife in the cupboard.
Just as he was suspicious, Wang Jiamu suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach, and then felt pain like tearing his internal organs, and he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the big bowl of noodles he had just eaten?
