Chapter 15: The Road Is Uneven

"Liar!"

"It's obvious!"

"I saw through her tricks at a glance."

"This girl is young and doesn't study well, and she still deceives people......"

"Young Master Zheng family, isn't that fool!"

Everyone's discussion fell into Xiangling's ears.

Say she can.

Say young master, no!

Xiangling crossed one hand on her waist and raised her other hand, drawing a large circle in front of her.

"You're fools! Let me ask you, do any of you dare to carry it? Bring the money. Xiangling said, and the family who came with her came to the front with a tray.

Ten ingots of silver with white flowers in a red lacquered wooden plate shimmered seductively in the sun.

This......

Someone began to hesitate.

A hundred taels of silver, for the poor who are begging for a living at the bottom of the society, ten years will not earn much.

The family has a hundred taels of silver, and it is considered a rich family.

"The silver is here, does anyone dare to carry it?" Xiangling is no longer nervous.

The more people surround them, the more they surround.

But no one went forward.

Xiangling was a little disappointed and prepared to change the next advertising office.

"I'm coming!"

A dirty middle-aged man in the crowd walked out.

"Okay, it's you." Xiangling is not verbose.

The man turned to the stake, which was an air-dried birch, six feet long and the thickness of a bowl.

It's light!

"I'll wait for you here, and you can carry it back and get the money." Xiangling shouted.

Maybe the man didn't hear it, and he didn't turn back and picked up the wood and left.

A lot of people followed the man, saying nothing at all.

The man just moved forward.

It seems that he doesn't believe it very much, he just wants to block it, anyway, the distance is not far, and the wood is not heavy, even if he doesn't give silver, he has nothing to lose.

Half a column of incense time.

The man is back.

Vigorously put the wood back on the ground.

The crowd automatically moved out of the way.

The man walked to the front.

"Where's the silver?"

Xiangling smiled and nodded, and said, "The silver is for you, one hundred taels." ”

Wow!!!

The crowd exploded.

They all regretted their intestines, they knew that the young master of the Zheng family had such a good income, let alone carrying one, even if they carried one hundred and one thousand, why not!

"I'm going to carry it too!"

"I want it too!"

The crowd went mad and rushed to the stake like a river.

"Only once, our young master is a talker, but any craftsman with various specialties can go to the east of the city to work, fifteen taels of silver per month! My young master said that if you do a good job, there will be another bonus. ”

After Xiangling finished speaking, those people were deflated.

"We still recruit powerful men, but the salary is halved, seven or two thousand ...... a month"

This time, Xiangling didn't finish speaking, and those people ran towards the courtyard in the east of the city, for fear that they would not accept it if they were late.

Thump!

The man with a hundred taels of silver was like a trance dream, until he knelt in front of Xiangling.

"The girl is really a heavenly bodhisattva......"

"Alright! Get up, this silver was given by my young master. ”

Xiangling completed the task and returned home.

In the quiet courtyard, I saw the young master sitting at the table in the window, reading.

When the young master reads, he has never been like those sour scholars who shake their heads, and they also make people's scalps swell.

Xiangling knew that the young master had always been quiet when he read books.

I like that young master, I like to make him a cup of tea, I like to stand quietly behind him and watch him...... All in all, she likes everything about the young master.

"I'm back!"

Zheng Guangzong didn't look back, and he also knew that Xiangling had come in.

"Hmm!"

Xiangling responded and told Zheng Guangzong about the matter.

"Our workers don't have to worry anymore." Getting up and rubbing his eyes, and moving his body again, Zheng Guangzong closed the book.

"Young master, aren't you studying?" Xiangling asked.

"Don't read it! You go and help me find a fierce-looking housekeeper, and we'll go out into the streets. ”

This......

Xiangling was puzzled, but didn't ask.

Zheng Guangzong appeared on the street of Huaili County with eight tall and large family members.

Wherever they pass, pedestrians avoid.

Even dogs clipped their tails and didn't dare to bark.

From the south of the city to the north of the city, and from the east to the west of the city...... Swaggering.

When passing through Yueyang Restaurant, a plain-clothed woman on the second floor saw Zheng Guangzong down.

Her eyebrows moved slightly, and she raised her hand as if she wanted to stop Zheng Guangzong.

At this time, she heard several men at the table talking.

"Hey, isn't that the stupid young master of the Zheng family?"

"I heard he's not stupid."

"Stupid and less evil, take those old people, no one dares to mess with them!"

"The evil is less on the street, and the tiger must also avoid three points!"

“……”

Hearing these words, Murong Ling couldn't help frowning slightly.

Tomorrow she will return to Beijing.

I came out to play today, and I met Zheng Guangzong, and she was a little happy! But after listening to the discussions of those few people, I saw Zheng Guangzong so flamboyant.

"The world is safe and secure, and it lives up to it!"

She couldn't help muttering, is this still the young master of the Zheng family who is talented and rich in five cars?

Just as she was pondering, there was a sudden noise downstairs.

"The money should be paid."

"Protection money, keep you safe for a month."

"If you don't pay the money, you'll smash your stall."

“……”

At first glance, Murong Ling thought it was Zheng Guangzong collecting cash.

If you look closely, it's not Zheng Guangzong's person at all.

Four or five men with slanted eyebrows and hanging eyes gathered around a trembling old man to collect cash.

The old man is selling radishes!

"Little brother, I can't make a few copper plates in this small business......"

Before he finished speaking, a man picked up the old man.

"Old thing, you don't want to give silver! Beware of my big brother going crazy and throwing all your turnips into the stinking gutter. ”

Several men are fierce.

The old man was very pitiful.

"Why? What are you doing! ”

Zheng Guangzong walked to the front with great interest.

When the old man saw it, he immediately rushed home.

The ruffians have not left, and the evil has come again.

"Oops! God, leave me a way to live! The old man burst into tears and cried to the sky: "The son of the family died in the army, and the daughter-in-law planted a few radishes with her two grandsons...... The ruffians are here! ”

Zheng Guangzong was obviously stunned.

However, he didn't get angry at the old man.

"What do you guys want to do?" Zheng Guangzong looked at a few ruffians.

A family member wearing a green hat smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Isn't this the young master of the Zheng family!" We are all brothers of Lvrentang, and we come out to collect protection money as usual! I have to see Young Master Zheng today, and we will divide half of the ...... when we meet."

The cuckold man hangs his breath.

Syllable!!!

Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Guangzong slapped him in the face.

"In broad daylight, bully the elderly, I'll beat you to death!" Zheng Guangzong waved his hand and said loudly: "Come on, don't let these ruffians run away, give me a beating." ”

So, the Zheng family rushed up and pressed a few ruffians to the ground and rubbed them.

"Young Master Ben has visited most of the county today, and he wants to get rid of violence and peace, if you dogs dare to bully people again, I will blow up your eggs." Zheng Guangzong's voice was loud.

At the window on the second floor of Yueyang Restaurant, Murong Ling showed a bright smile.
