Du Wenxing didn't expect that Ma Sancai had already set up the banquet, looking at the large table of dishes in front of him, Du Wenxing asked with a suspicious face: "Senior Ma knows that I am coming?"

Ma Sancai laughed, pointed at Ma Lan and Huang Mingfa, and said, "I heard these two say that they want to invite Du Gongzi down the mountain, so I prepared this table of dishes and waited for Du Gongzi to come." ”

"What if I don't come?" Du Wenxing was curious.

Ma Sancai smiled, "Then the two of them will be unlucky." ”

Du Wenxing glanced back at Ma Lan and Huang Mingfa, and the two of them nodded with gratitude.

Ma Lan: "Thank you Du Gongzi for helping." ”

Huang Mingfa gave a thumbs up and shook it, "Du Gongzi is this!"

Du Wenxing smiled and turned around.

The four of them went to the table, Du Wenxing was given the main seat by Ma Sancai, and he sat on the side to accompany him, and Ma Lan and Huang Mingfa sat opposite.

What makes Du Wenxing strange is that Ma Sancai did not mention the matter of compensation at the wine table, but frequently persuaded him to eat and drink.

Ma Lan and Huang Mingfa didn't even mention this stubble.

"What's the situation, shouldn't it be talking while eating?" Du Wenxing wondered.

He didn't have time to spend it on the three of them, and in two days it would be the day of Dabi, so he put down his glass and took the initiative to ask:

"Ma-senpai-"

"Don't, Du Gongzi still call me Brother Ma, Ma is not that old. ”

Du Wenxing froze slightly, and said in his heart, are we so familiar?

However, he didn't refute this person's face, "Brother Ma, shouldn't we talk about compensation?"

Ma Sancai poured Du Wenxing another glass of wine, and said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry, this is not in a hurry, I want to get acquainted with Du Gongzi now, and I hope that Du Gongzi will give him this face." ”

Du Wenxing frowned slightly, and looked at Ma Lan and Huang Mingfa, meaning that you should say something.

In his heart, he risked being punished twice this time to go down the mountain, and he came to do errands, not to make friends.

Ma Lan and Huang Mingfa didn't seem to see his eyes, they just ate food and drank wine, as if they had never eaten these "good things" on the table in their lives.

A trace of doubt rose in Du Wenxing's heart, these two people who had begged him to go down the mountain in the letter before, how could they be like this now?

Ma Lan felt very keen, and when Yu Guang saw that Du Wenxing's face had changed, he suddenly felt bad, did he and Huang Mingfa behave too much?

Not good, not good!

After reacting, he immediately wanted to remedy it, so he put down his chopsticks and said: "Mr. Ma, let's talk about compensation, my brother lost your goods, and the compensation should be paid, but the number you gave is too big, and my brother will die!"

Huang Mingfa was stunned for a moment, didn't he say that he had delayed time, why did he speak now?

Ma Sancai reacted immediately, knowing that what he had just shown was a little too much, he suddenly let go of his momentum, glared at Ma Lan angrily and said: "What you said is not right, my goods were handed over to you, you lost them, I lost not only the goods, but also time, and the profit that should be earned by this batch of goods, you calculate these and add them, is the number I gave out of line?"

Then he said to Du Wenxing: "Du Gongzi, you come to judge the theory." Although I, Ma Sancai, am a person in the underworld, I still pay attention to the rules in doing things. Although the value of my goods is only a few hundred taels of silver, it took me half a month to purchase this batch of goods, and if I want to purchase them again, I will waste half a month, and the time delayed on this road, as well as the profits generated by the goods that should have been sold at this time, I want them to compensate them for 1,000 taels of silver, is it not too much?"

was said by Ma Sancai, Du Wenxing felt a little reasonable in his heart, especially the time cost that the other party said, as a person who has experienced modern society, he agrees with it very much.

Ma Lan said with a bitter face: "One thousand taels of silver is too much, my brother is willing to buy a batch of goods for Ma senior as it is, it will only take three days to be enough, and then compensate you three hundred taels of silver, what do you think?"

Ma Sancai immediately waved his hand, "No, what do you say about other things that I have been delayed because of this matter?"

The two had a bit of a bargain, the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, Ma Sancai didn't look like an underworld boss at all, but more like the kind of small trader who had to fight for baht.

Du Wenxing pondered for a moment, this "time cost" is really difficult to define the value, you said that you were delayed, what was delayed, how much was lost?

Is this what you can say with one mouth?

Du Wenxing pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't they each give in and Ma Lan and Huang Mingfa buy another batch of the same goods for Brother Ma, and at the same time compensate four hundred taels of silver?"

Ma Sancai stopped talking when he heard this, lowered his head and muttered for a while before saying, "Four hundred taels is too little, add another one hundred taels." ”

Du Wenxing looked at Ma Lan and the others.

Ma Lan shook his head, "Four hundred taels is enough, plus three hundred taels of goods, the two of us will almost have to go bankrupt to make up for it, and our brothers will definitely not be able to take out five hundred taels." ”

Ma Sancai groaned again, and then looked at Du Wenxing, "I'll think about it, if Du Gongzi doesn't mind, I'll rest in my village for one night tonight." ”

Du Wenxing hesitated for a moment and agreed, anyway, no matter whether things work out or not, he will definitely go back to the mountain at noon tomorrow.

Seeing that Du Wenxing nodded, Ma Lan and Huang Mingfa secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Leaving Zhuangzi, Huang Mingfa glanced back, a little unbearable in his heart, he and others took advantage of the kindness of Du Gongzi and obstructed the upward channel of others, which made him feel a little uneasy.

But then he thought a little lightly: "We have completed half of Brother Hong's task, and the remaining half depends on tomorrow's play, I don't know if the 'opponents' that Ma Sancai is looking for can block Du Gongzi in Zhuangzi for two days." ”

Hearing Huang Mingfa say this, Ma Lan thought about it and replied lightly: "With this connection in the underworld, there must be no problem." But there was no joy.

Huang Mingfa glanced at him, knew his thoughts, and couldn't help but persuade: "Since you have made a decision, don't regret it." ”

"I don't regret it, it's just ...... It's just ashamed!" Ma Lan shook his head, "Forget it, I don't want to, it's all like this, it's useless to be ashamed." ”

Huang Mingfa thought of the other side, "You say, if Du Gongzi finds out the truth afterwards, will the two of us be retaliated against?"

"Hehe, that's for sure. We've delayed the future of others!" Ma Lan glanced at him.

"Looks like we're going to have to go out and hide afterwards. ”

"Can we hide for the rest of our lives? Qingcheng Mountain is over there. ”

"And what can you do?"

"I want to ......" Ma Lan looked at Huang Mingfa with strange eyes.

"What?" Huang Mingfa didn't hear clearly, and leaned over.

"I think you're going to die!"
