Chapter 143 143: Don’t blame her for being cruel (1st update)

"Also, Lao Shen, think about it, if someone is burned to death, do you have to pay for it? If more people die, I'm afraid people in those villages will eat her. Then I will

See how that stinky woman can still gain prestige? It would be even better if we take advantage of the situation and kill Laoba Jie. We will see if the Jie family will be able to spare her."

Mr. Zhuang's words made Mr. Shen feel a chill in his back. These are human lives. How could he speak so lightly?

I just want to gain fame and reputation, I really don’t think about jeopardizing human lives.

Looking at Mr. Shen's expression, what else does Mr. Zhuang not understand? At this point, he is still hesitant, so it's up to him. After getting on the boat, he still wants to get off. How can it be so cheap?

thing?

"Old Shen, you and I are just grasshoppers tied on a rope. What do you mean by today? Can you show your attitude?" Mr. Zhuang urged.

When Mr. Shen saw this, he was so regretful that his intestines were green. He had already announced the plan so loudly, how could he say he didn't agree with it? They would first silence him.

After thinking about this powerful relationship, he forced out a smile and said, "Lao Zhuang, where do you want to go? I didn't say I disagreed, but I was thinking about how much gunpowder I should buy, and then I got distracted.

.”

Mr. Zhuang laughed loudly after hearing this, put his arms around Mr. Shen's shoulders and said, "I'm just telling you, Mr. Shen, that you are not so timid. Come on, come on. I misunderstood. I will punish myself with a drink." After that, he picked up the wine glass.

Just drink it all in one gulp.

Mr. Shen had an ugly look on his face as he picked up the wine glass and drank too much. Now he could only pray that this matter was done secretly enough, otherwise he was afraid that he would be killed by the person in front of him.

Shopkeeper Chen, who was sitting at the end of the table, also took shopkeeper Shen to drink. Shopkeeper Shen was in the same mood as his uncle at the moment. If he had known that Juya Teahouse was like this, he shouldn't have been so close to him in the first place.

If you trick others, you should trick yourself first. Didn’t you see that his uncle was riding a tiger and couldn’t get off?

Facing Shopkeeper Shen, he could only try his best to smile and deal with it. Even his uncle couldn't escape, let alone him. If he dared to act rashly, Mr. Zhuang and Shopkeeper Chen would kill him directly.

A ruthless person can definitely do it.

The four people on the same boat immediately discussed how to buy gunpowder in batches without anyone noticing. Of course, Mr. Shen and Shopkeeper Shen’s uncle and nephew were completely tied to the carriage.

It's just that there is no airtight wall in this world. The five people thought they were doing it secretly, but they were still discovered by someone who had been keeping an eye on them for a long time.

So that night, someone knocked on the door of the other courtyard.

Just when Chang Xi was about to take a rest, she heard Huniu come in and say, "Ms. Chang, Manager Jin has something urgent to see you."

It's so late, what else is Manager Jin doing?

Perhaps she had something to do. Chang Xi thought about it for a moment, then got up and put on her coat, smoothed her hair, put on her shoes and went out directly.

Manager Jin was pacing back and forth. When he saw Chang Xi coming out, he hurriedly came over to meet Li and said, "Ms. Chang, a few villagers came outside. They said they had to report something urgent. I didn't let them in at first, saying it was God's fault.

It's too late. Come back tomorrow. They said we have to report it tonight. If we miss it, something regrettable may happen. That's why I have to come over and ask for instructions on what to do."

It was not appropriate to meet the women so late, but seeing how anxious those people were speaking, he was really afraid that something would happen and he wouldn't be able to handle it.

The stall that Mr. Xie Ba and Mr. Chang set up was too big and had many connections, so he did not dare to act hastily.

"Then go over and meet." Chang Xi said simply. She also wanted to hear what these people wanted to say, "By the way, Manager Jin, go to the backyard and invite Master Xie Jiu over."

When Manager Jin heard this, he hurriedly patted his head, "Seeing as I was so busy that I forgot to report it to Master Jiu, I'll go right away."

While he was so focused on trying to please Mr. Chang, he forgot about his true master. He deserved to die, and it was lucky that Mrs. Chang reminded him, otherwise he would have been the manager of another hospital.

When Chang Xi saw Manager Jin running away, he immediately shook his head and hurried out with Xiao Tao and Huniu.

The men stood awkwardly in the courtyard. Manager Jin asked them to wait here, so they waited here obediently, not daring to act wildly in this place.

When Chang Xi arrived, she happened to bump into Xie Jin, and she immediately had doubts in her eyes. Logically speaking, Xie Jin should be behind her.

Xie Jin looked at her expression, guessed what she was thinking, and said, "I came over here as soon as I heard the news."

Chang Xi suddenly realized that the person who spread the news must not be Manager Jin, but the real manpower installed by Xie Jin in this other courtyard. Manager Jin was just a front.

"Then let's go together." Chang Xi did not hesitate on this issue, but walked side by side with Xie Jin generously.

The two men appeared together on the steps in front of the courtyard. When the men saw the two men appearing, they immediately stepped forward to greet them.

Chang Xi returned the greeting and said, "It's so late, what's the hurry for these strong men?"

Seeing Chang Xi being so polite, one of them felt a little more confident about what he was asking for tonight, "Ms. Chang, we didn't sign the employment confidentiality contract because we misunderstood the rumors spread by others.

Now, can you... give us a chance?"

"Yes, Mrs. Chang, please give us a chance to change our ways." The others couldn't help but beg.

These days, they have been scolded by their families and laughed at by the villagers. They have had enough of these days, especially when they see the clear soup and watery meals at home, they miss the two taels of meat at the construction site.

It turned out that it was for this matter. Chang Xi didn't say anything, "It depends on what contribution you can make? As long as the contribution is enough, everything will be easy to talk about."

In order for her tea brick workshop to take root here, it must have a good relationship with the local people. This is a must. With them as a barrier, it can resist outside intruders.

Hearing Chang Xi's words, the eyes of several men lit up. They looked at each other and quickly made up their minds. The one who spoke first before said, "Ms. Chang, look at this."

At the same time, he took out something wrapped in a broad leaf from his arms.

Xiao Tao hurriedly stepped forward to take it. As soon as she opened it, she smelled a strong smell of gunpowder. She immediately frowned, but there was no danger. She immediately turned around and presented it to Chang Xi.

Chang Xi naturally smelled the smell of gunpowder. He picked up his hand and put it to his nose. The smell of gunpowder became stronger. He narrowed his eyes slightly and his expression became serious.

Jie Jin also smelled it like Chang Xi, and immediately looked seriously at the man who spoke first, "Where did it come from?"

The man who spoke first didn't know Jie Jin, but the aura of this superior person was very strong and imposing. He hurriedly bent down and said respectfully, "Someone transported it by water, and then someone moved it. We have been keeping an eye on them for a long time."

, after discovering that something was wrong, I quietly took some of the things they were carrying, and as soon as I smelled it, I felt something was wrong, so I didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly came over to report it.”

They can't mistake the smell of fireworks and firecrackers. During the Chinese New Year, the village will buy a few bunches to ward off evil spirits. However, there are always children who pick up those silent firecrackers for fun, and accidents occur. Some of them die because of this.

Quite a few, so they know how powerful this thing is.

"Looking at them carrying it back and forth several times, it must be a lot." One of them quickly added.

"Yes, yes, this amount must be used to do bad things." He finally came to the conclusion.

Listening to these chattering words, Chang Xi and Xie Jin both understood that this matter was not trivial. They had even obtained a large amount of gunpowder, so what they were about to do was not trivial.

"You go and keep an eye on them first. Don't alert them. I will give you a chance to come back to work afterwards."

When several strong men heard what Chang Xi said, they immediately became excited and hurriedly expressed that they would do a good job.

Chang Xi asked Xiaotao and Huniu to send them out, and then told Xie Jin, "Master Xie Jiu, don't worry about this matter. I have my own opinion."

Xie Jin turned to look at her stern look, knowing that she was angry now, so he didn't ask her how she planned to solve it. He was still very confident in her ability to do things, "I still said that, if

If you need anything, you can always come to me."

Gunpowder is not a small matter, no matter what, he will always pay attention to it.

Chang Xi knew that he was giving her the initiative and trusting her. Otherwise, he would have dealt with the large amount of gunpowder as soon as possible.

After thanking him, she hurried back with her two maids.

Jie Jiuye stood there and looked at her retreating back. No one knew what he was thinking. It wasn't until her back disappeared that he turned around and left.

Manager Jin, who was hiding in the dark and watching, saw that these two people were gone, and then he dared to show up. The expressions of these two people before were too scary, how could he dare to come out and lightly twist the tiger's beard?

As soon as Chang Xi returned, she sat there and meditated. In fact, she had always known the people who were dedicated to causing trouble. After all, the four major shopkeepers had always informed her of the news of other tea merchants, and among them, those two were the most popular.

Mr. Zhuang from Juya Tea House and Mr. Shen from Mingxiang Tea House, Mr. Zhuang is the most high-profile among them.

Thinking of this, she snorted coldly. She didn't believe that the gunpowder issue had nothing to do with these two families?

Then don't blame her for shooting the first bird.

She had already asked Xie Ming to dig the hole. Compared to the hole she dug, the hole dug by these two families was bigger and deeper. So don't blame her for kicking both families into the hole. They will not be able to climb out when the time comes.

Don't blame her for being cruel, she is just treating others the way they want.

The next day, she called Xie Ming to discuss the strategy again.

As soon as Jie Ming heard the word gunpowder, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. This was the rhythm of wanting to blow him up. Thinking of this, he suddenly became furious, "Ms. Chang, just do what you said, I'll go right away.

Make arrangements.”

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Chang Xi immediately wrote a letter to Mrs. Qin, saying that she was ill and had to stay in another hospital for a longer period of time, and asked her to forgive her.

After asking Hu Niu to deliver the letter, she began to pretend to be sick and not go out.
