Li Xian took Wang Erlang to a hidden place in the woods, and then slowly let go of Wang Erlang. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Boy, I'll let you go for a while, but don't scream, or I'll beat you. Li Xian was worried that Wang Erlang would not know how to scream, so he threatened fiercely, but he didn't understand how much misunderstanding his words and actions would cause.

Wang Erlang was restrained at this time, and he had no choice but to nod his head and agree, and waited until Li Xian let go of him, and then loosened the cloth covering his face, but he couldn't help but be smart, shouted "ghost", and then wanted to escape.

Li Xian couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this, so he could only throw Wang Erlang to the ground again, and punched him a few more times, so that he understood that he was not a ghost, but a living person, and only then did Wang Erlang understand that this was Li Xian himself coming back alive, not some soul.

"Brother Li, it's great that you're still alive, we thought you were dead, and we were all sad. Wang Erlang finally understood that it was Li Xian himself who came back, and said excitedly.

It turned out that Wang Erlang's father Wang Datou was one of the best hunters in Xuwen County, Li Xian had paid a lot of money, learned the method of hunting with Wang Datou, and also learned the ancestral tiger killing knife method of the Wang family for generations, so he was much closer than other hunters, and Wang Erlang also directly called Li Xian's eldest brother, not the same as others.

"You can all come back alive, and so can I. Li Xian nodded and said, "When I fell into the sea, I actually fell on the back of a whale and survived when I reached a desert island far away.

What happened here after I left, you have to tell me clearly, and you can't hide anything. ”

"That's nature. Wang Erlang nodded hurriedly.

It turned out that after the whaling ship was smashed into pieces, everyone fell into the water, and in the end, Lin Changsheng and other strong warriors gathered everyone together, gathered the scattered wooden planks together, and made a simple small raft back to Yaluo Bay, and the casualties were not large.

Lin Changsheng and the others waited for a few days in Yaluo Bay, and when they didn't see Li Xian come back, they felt that there was a lot of bad luck, and they thought that they would tell the people in the dart bureau about this matter, so they took a boat back to Foshan, so there are no people in the dart game here.

In the whaling battle, more than 20 people were killed by Moby Dick and Zuo Lingchen, and among the dead were not only the escorts, but also hired sailors and experienced whaling masters in the fishermen's village.

These people all died in the process of doing things for Li Xian, and Li Xian should be responsible for the bereavement, but at this time, Li Xian was not there, so the soap workshop could only come forward to solve it.

The three shopkeepers in the soap workshop also understood the matter and were willing to come forward to make some appropriate compensation, but most of the money from selling soap was held by Li Xian, and the money in the hands of these shopkeepers was not very much, coupled with the secret instigation of people with intentions, this matter became a little tricky.

There were a few old men who felt that their owners had also died in this matter, and there was no one in the family, so it was pointless to force the shopkeepers to take the money and leave, but there were still several who were instigated to go to the soap workshop every day in the name of collecting pensions for their companions.

The fishermen who died and the families of the fishermen-turned-escorts were in the nearby fishing villages, and the workshop keepers were willing to pay to settle the situation, but the prices were getting higher and higher, and they could not meet their demands.

Now, hunters, fishermen, and sailors who want more money live in nearby fishing villages, and often come to ask for money at the instigation of well-intentioned people.

As for Wang Erlang, these people are still relatively simple, and there are no close relatives of their own among the dead, so they have no idea of asking for money from the soap workshop.

However, they also saw the prosperity of Yaluo Bay, and they did not want to go back to the mountains to live a hard life, so they looked at the faces of the shopkeepers and stayed in the original house.

Fortunately, those shopkeepers were not willing to force them to go, fearing that they would be desperate to get along with those who wanted husbands, so they provided three meals a day, and did not let them vacate the house, but let these people have the idea of finding a job in the workshop.

It's a normal plot so far, but the next few things are not so normal.

It turned out that after the whaling ship was wrecked, the county yamen actually sent someone over, and a government official came to investigate the fault of the soap workshop for causing the death of the local people, and demanded that the workshop give full compensation, and then said that the soap workshop did not pay enough taxes after selling soap, and that it had to pay all kinds of taxes.

In the end, he said that the soap workshop had secretly concealed a large number of foreign guns, violated the laws of the Qing Dynasty, and wanted to pull people to go to court, in short, they used various methods to ask for money.

In addition, the business of the soap workshop also went wrong, and it turned out that the things in the workshop had to be transported to Foshan by sea.

There are many pirates from all walks of life on the sea road near Leizhou Bay, and Chen Qian was there before, and he could talk to these heroes on the sea road, and every time he paid for it, the two sides were at peace.

But now, there is no one in charge of the Mixed Yuan Temple, and these pirates have turned their faces, and the money they asked for to buy the road immediately skyrocketed by more than ten times, and there are two ships of Mixed Yuan Temple's goods that have been detained.

In short, the soap workshop is now stormy, with constant internal and external troubles, Wang Erlang stammered and said not very clearly, but it was enough for Li Xian to understand the current difficult situation.

"I see. Li Xian rubbed his eyebrows, the current matter is even more tricky than originally thought.

"Erlang, you'll go back to the house in a moment.

However, the current situation is very troublesome, remember not to tell others about my return, let alone say that you have seen me, understand?" Li Xian told Wang Erlang.

"That's fine. It's just, Brother Li, do you want to continue to be this escort when you come back?" Wang Erlang patted his chest and agreed, and then asked again.

"Oh, what do you think? I remember that when the escort team used to train, you were the one who liked to complain about being tired. ”

"I'm just talking. Wang Erlang smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Actually, the escort team is very good, they eat well three times a day, and there are many people together, and it is lively."

If you still run the escort team, I still want to continue to come in and do things, even if the escort team is not open, how about you recruit me into the soap workshop to work?

I have the strength to do my job well. ”

"Let's talk about it. Li Xian smiled, "But no matter what you do, I will just think about finding you a job to do." ”

"Thank you, Brother Li. Wang Erlang said with great joy.

Wang Erlang felt that his future had been settled, put down his worries and returned to his room, and after going back, he was really tight-lipped about what he had just done, even if his companion made fun of him for taking so long to go to the toilet, whether he had kidney deficiency, he gritted his teeth and didn't say anything about seeing Li Xian.

Li Xian thought about it on the spot, and felt that the current matter was more troublesome than he had thought before, so he simply continued to take advantage of the night to go to the Mixed Yuan Temple to find out the news.

Originally, after the development of the mixed yuan temple to sell soap, the land around the Taoist temple was bought, surrounded by earthen walls, and the soap workshops were enclosed in the walls, and a large number of houses were built for the shopkeepers, men and workers in the workshops to live.

Li Xian secretly climbed the wall and saw that the place where several shopkeepers usually gathered to discuss matters was lit, and there were figures shaking, it seemed that they were discussing something.

Li Xian sneaked over as usual, leaned down to the window, and eavesdropped on what was being said inside.

After listening to it for a while, Li Xian frowned, what were these people arguing about, but the topic of the argument was a little wrong.
