"That's natural! This isn't Ma Wu bragging! Our old lady is from Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River! Her favorite dish is this tender bamboo shoot porridge! Everyone, did you see that this basket of tender bamboo shoots is so tender?
I, Ma Wu, drove hundreds of miles of mountain roads overnight to dig the bamboo shoots at the edge of Weishan Lake! Just to nurse the old lady back to health! I, Ma Wu, would not sell them to anyone else, even if they offered me a hundred taels!
"
Small merchants like Ma Wu were the big beneficiaries after Liu Ruyi's rise, and they were considered to be the lowest class of vested interests. At this time, seeing that they were surrounded by fellow merchants, Ma Wu had long dismissed Fang Gongzi.
He threw it aside and showed off loudly to everyone around him!
"Ma Wu, you brag, are you bragging? You have traveled hundreds of miles of mountain roads? Only a ghost can believe you! Don't you just use the old bamboo shoots at the bottom of Qianfo Mountain to fool the old lady, right?" The colleagues are enemies, and the same is true on the side.
The vegetable vendor number 78 couldn't help but ridiculed.
"Wu Laoliu, you can't eat grapes, so you say their grapes are sour! Haha! Don't look at your thin skin and tender flesh, what a pity! Your bamboo shoots are not as pink and tender as your face! Don't say that!
The old lady doesn’t recognize it, and even those who built the wall don’t recognize it! Haha~!” Ma Wu replied with a smile.
This Wu Laoliu is a distant relative of Wu San, the current deputy general manager of logistics in Caishi Town. He usually supplies food to the garrison in Caishi Town. At this time, when he heard that Ma Wu was able to deliver food to the general's mansion,
He couldn't help but feel a little disgusted in his heart. Coupled with Ma Wu's arrogant remarks, Wu Laoliu became even more angry and cursed: "Ma Wu, you son of a bitch! You can sell vegetables to the general's mansion, who knows?"
Have you done some shameful things? Could it be that you sacrificed your appearance and went to sleep with the dominatrix at the back door of the General’s Mansion! Haha!”
The so-called ‘mother yaksha’ turned out to be Liu Ruyi’s confidant, Zhao Sanhu’s mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang!
Zhang was actually quite good-looking, less than forty years old, but since Zhao Sanhu was killed in battle, she had scratched her own face, worked early in the morning and stayed late at night with her children to honor her late husband!
Liu Ruyi's mother, Mrs. Zou, felt pity and regret when she saw that Mrs. Zhang was so strong, so she asked Mrs. Zhang to come to Liu Ruyi's house to work. On weekdays, she was mainly responsible for purchasing ingredients and groceries for Liu Ruyi's house! This
First of all, it can not only give her something to do, but also give her someone to talk to so that she won't be too lonely!
Mrs. Zhang is strong-willed and quick at work, and she quickly managed the affairs in Liu's backyard in an orderly manner. However, it was precisely because of her somewhat old-fashioned and stern temper that everyone who came into contact with her, both inside and outside the house, became confused.
A little afraid of her!
Especially these small vendors, they secretly nicknamed her 'Dominatrix' behind her back. However, if it were in person, no one would dare to call her that, at most, it would be this group of boring men.
, behind your back~~ have some sex!
"Bah! Wu Laoliu, you son of a bitch! A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! I'd like to! But Mr. Zhang doesn't want to do it! I'm afraid you have the thief's heart, but don't have the thief's courage! Haha!
!" Ma Wu laughed.
"You, you..." Wu Laoliu was speechless for a moment!
Everyone around couldn't help but laugh, which diluted the originally tense and depressing atmosphere in the city gate a lot. As for Mr. Fang and the others, they were like primary school students, obediently standing there without attracting anyone's attention!
When everyone was tired of laughing, Mr. Fang tugged at the corner of Ma Wu's clothes and said, "Brother Ma Wu really has great abilities! Fang admires him! But it's already dark, why is the city gate still open?"
movement?"
Ma Wu and the others bragged for a while, almost winning. He looked good and lowered his voice and said to the other young master: "Young Master, don't worry! If the other three gates of Jinan City are not open, the south gate will definitely be opened!
Please wait for a moment, there should be news soon!"
"Oh! That's all thanks to the five Lao Ma brothers! Fang couldn't be more grateful!" Mr. Fang bowed slightly, with a somewhat flattering look on his face!
Ma Wu couldn't help but feel even more proud. Even Mr. Fang treated him with such respect one day. Following the general, he really has a great future!
However, what Ma Wu didn't know was that the most wanted killer in the city was Mr. Fang, who looked like a human and a dog!
……………………
The night has turned completely dark, but drizzle is floating in the sky, mixed with the cold wind, and the temperature suddenly drops by more than ten degrees!
Everyone around him was suffering from hard work. His skin was dry and his flesh was thick, so he couldn't feel anything. However, Mr. Fang, a noble man with thin clothes at this time, could not withstand such bad weather. He shivered and leaned on two
He followed him personally, pulled his bamboo hat to the bottom with all his strength, and stood shivering in the cold wind!
Ma Wu had no time to pay attention to Mr. Fang. He carefully covered the basket of tender bamboo shoots with oil paper, as if he were caring for a woman, protecting the basket tightly under his body, for fear that it would get caught in the rain!
Everyone around them also wrapped their clothes tightly, and three or five people gathered together and took out some shochu they had brought to warm themselves. Outside the city gate, it was quiet, with only the sound of light rain!
At about the first quarter of Wu Shi, which is around seven o'clock in the evening in later generations, several fast horses came from a distance and headed straight for the city gate!
The leader of the general banner whispered a few words to Xu Xianhui, the thousands of households guarding the city!
Xu Xianhui couldn't help but feel a little angry, and punched the city wall on the side. The commander-in-chief said something in his ear again. Xu Xianhui nodded depressedly and waved his hand to the person beside him!
After a while, the city gate that was originally tightly closed finally opened a gap, and slowly opened with a "creak~crack"!
Mr. Fang kept staring in the direction of the city gate until the city gate was fully opened, and his heart also experienced several reincarnations!
At this time, a gatekeeper came forward and said loudly: "Fellow fellow villagers, today is a special situation. It has delayed everyone's business! The general has specially ordered me to apologize to everyone! Come on, let's follow the old rules and leave the city in an orderly manner.
!”
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and Mr. Fang followed closely behind Ma Wu and lined up in the center of the team!
The search outside the city is very simple. It only checks whether you are carrying sharp blades, weapons, and whether you have a business transaction certificate signed by Liu Ruyi himself. Ma Wu has completed all the procedures, so he will pass smoothly!
Speechless all the way!
It wasn't until he rushed out of Jinan City for more than ten miles that Mr. Fang's heart was clutching his heart and he finally put it into his stomach!
They came to a small forest to take shelter from the rain. Mr. Fang held his hands and said: "Brother Ma Wu, this time, Fang really wants to thank you! Come on, there are one thousand taels here. It should be a little bit of Fang's kindness! Ma Wu
Fifth brother, you must never refuse!"
After Mr. Fang finished speaking, he took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed them to Ma Wu!
Ma Wuyi was stunned. He had never seen so much money in his life. Although the bank note was very tempting, Ma Wu instinctively felt a little uneasy in his heart!
He did not put away the banknotes, but said to the other young master: "Sir, can you tell me the truth? Who did you offend in the city? Do you need to be so careful?"
Mr. Fang's expression changed slightly, but soon turned into a smile, "Hey! It's a long story! It's all the fault of Liu Hanyi, the current head of the Liu family in Licheng. This guy's domineering attitude depends on having a general.
Brother, he wanted to bully me! I couldn't get angry, so I asked my brothers to fight him! The result... Oops, brother Ma Wu, I, I suddenly have a stomachache, you, if you don't mind it
, let’s go over there and talk!”
After Mr. Fang finished speaking, he ran towards the depths of the woods nearby!
Ma Wuyi was startled, but couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart and hurriedly followed him! Listen to the grievances of these young masters and brag about them in the future. This is an important talking point!
"Master, where are you?" The forest was very deep, and Ma Wuyi lost sight of Master Fang in the blink of an eye!
"Here, come over here!" A hand stretched out from behind the woods ahead!
"Tch~!" Ma Wu couldn't help but pinched his nose and walked forward!
But before he could take two steps, a cold light suddenly flashed behind him!
Ma Wu's mouth was suddenly tightly covered by someone, and there was a sharp pain in his chest. He quickly looked down and saw that a sharp instrument as thick as a little finger had penetrated his entire chest!
Mr. Fang slowly walked out from the front, reached out and covered Ma Wu's eyes, "Brother Ma Wu, this time, Fang really wants to thank you! However, you have to do one more thing for Fang."
Okay! Hahaha!”
The attendant who had just taken back the sharp weapon said hurriedly: "Master, do you want to deal with all his followers together!"
Mr. Fang shook his head coldly, "They are still useful! Ah Da, don't you Japanese say you are invincible in the art of disguise? Can you become like him?"
Mr. Fang pointed at Ma Wu who was like rotten meat!
Na Ada took a look and said, "There are no materials here, but I can decorate him as an eight-pointed figure!"
"That's enough, move faster!" Mr. Fang said hurriedly.
"Yes! Master"
…………………………
Soon, Mr. Fang and ‘Ma Wu’ came out of the woods again!
"This crazy weather! It's so damn annoying! Come on, brothers, let's hurry up and hurry up! If the sales are good this time, we'll give you an extra tael of silver each time!" 'Ma Wu' said proudly.
The coolies were immediately overjoyed, "Thank you so much, Master Wu, thank you so much, Master Wu!"
Soon, a few people picked up the burden of vegetables and headed straight for Caishi Town!
…………………………
The vegetable market in Caishi Town is not in the city, but in a large flat area near the river to the east!
At this time, although it was already late at night, the place was bustling with people, and everyone was rushing back to buy groceries and prepare meals for tomorrow!
Mr. Fang and ‘Ma Wu’ also came to the stall originally fixed by ‘Ma Wu’, and put out all kinds of vegetables, melons and fruits!
Several waiters have been sent away by 'Ma Wu' and are waiting for the arrival of the 'big customer'!
Mr. Fang and ‘Ma Wu’, on the other hand, were standing by the stall, carefully paying attention to the surrounding situation!
Due to the light rain, the torch was not very bright, and none of the surrounding merchants noticed anything unusual about the 'Ma Wu'!
Mr. Fang carefully paid attention to the basket of tender bamboo shoots and whispered to Ma Wu beside him: "Have you added everything?"
"Master, don't worry! This is clam bone fish meal from the deep sea of the East. It is colorless and odorless. Just a trace of it can kill someone within three breaths! I have put it into the bamboo shoots, as long as they use it to make porridge
, you will definitely die!"
"Very good! Very good!" Mr. Fang couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile and shouted in his heart, "Liu Ruyi, this time, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"
At this time, the watchman came back in a hurry, "Fifth Master, Manager Zhang, she, she is here!"
