Chapter Thirty-Three Assassination, Detailed Plan (6)
"Shopkeeper Wen has always wanted to make a deal with Mr. Lu, but I would like to advise your family not to get too close to Tongpao Chen from Taizhou." Guan Qi said seriously.
Ji Shouxin thought it was true and wanted to use the power of Wen Zhong, so he laughed: "Isn't this a misunderstanding! I was about to capture that guy, and the shopkeeper has the same mind!"
He explained in detail: "I once had a concubine who committed a crime and escaped from the house. She was urgently caught and was hid by the magistrate of Chen. I expected that Chen Tongpao must have other plans and would be harmed by the Lu family sooner or later, so I kept asking for help.
I have no chance to get rid of him. I am coming back today, which is a big news."
Guan Qi's heart suddenly stirred, and he hurriedly said: "If the young master is willing to tell me, the shopkeeper will be in Jiangdu to help manage the relationship to ensure that there is no danger."
Jishou was impatient to accomplish a great achievement. Hearing this, he became even more interested and told the whole story: "To be honest, I did all these things hiding from the master. Because of the previous credit,
An account of your shopkeeper's account was paid off by County Magistrate Chen, so the master treated him
I'm very grateful. I can't do it on the surface, but I can't let go of my anger at taking away my concubine. I'm afraid that people will laugh at me for not having the ability, so I have to put him to death! When I visited him that day, I saw the female prisoner with my own eyes and listened to the news.
Chen Tongpao said personally that he wanted to marry a wife, but he was vague, so it must be her."
"Marry a wife?"
"That's right, get a wife! When Tongpao Chen has decided on the wedding date, I will let the Prime Minister of Mei County lead the army to kill him alone and keep the loot!" Lu Jishou said proudly.
Guan Qi saw that this man was ignorant and knew that he had already said everything he could say, so he stopped asking questions to avoid talking too much. He only smiled and said: "Young Master is sincere and quick to speak, which is really respectable. Since both sides
Now that my doubts have been cleared up, I won’t keep you any longer. I’d better report back to Shopkeeper Wen as soon as possible.”
"Then I won't stop you, please go back!" After Lu Jishou said this, he watched Guan Qi get on his horse, then turned and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
It only took four or five days for Guan Qi to come and go. Wen Zhong and Guo Chuzi were shocked by the speed, thinking that something had happened. After Guan Qi calmly told the story, the two of them looked at each other and laughed loudly.
Laughing: "The Lu family has heirs like this. I can't blame the industry for its decline!"
After laughing for a while, Wen Zhong thought about the marriage mentioned by Guan Qi again, and frowned: "It's probably finalized. Tongpao Chen is going to kill someone with a knife. This person is so ruthless. If it doesn't happen, it will affect us..."
"Alas," Guo Chuzi raised his head resolutely, "Since Guo Jia wants to dominate one party, he must not worry about gains and losses. We can do our best and make preparations, and the rest can be left to him, Tongpao Chen.
"
Craftsman Xu was in his house, holding the invitation sent by Chen Tongpao, and he was very happy: just because he slightly repaired the meeting hall for Chen's house a month ago, the county magistrate remembered him, wouldn't this be his own
A great blessing for a craftsman!
He walked excitedly around the house and calculated with his fingers that he would be happy in five days. Craftsman Xu was still unfinished when he suddenly saw one of his apprentices coming to report: "Master, a big businessman in Jiangdu wants to select a foundation for you."
, built a house and sent slaves."
Craftsman Xu thought for a while, then took out a piece of clothing from the back room and ordered: "Ask him to come in."
"Craftsman Xu, the shopkeeper of Jiangdu Dyeing House, Guo Da, will choose a foundation soon. I hope you will go and check out Feng Shui. Money will not be a problem."
"How much money are you willing to pay if you pass the exam?"
The slave first threw down two taels of silver and said, "Quan will be used as travel expenses. If you really want to build a house, discuss the price with the shopkeeper."
"Based on Feng Shui, how many days will it take to pay it back?" Craftsman Xu was still thinking about the beautiful thing in Chen's house.
He smiled knowingly: "Two days is enough."
"Disciple, please collect the money." Craftsman Xu stood up calmly, "I will go to Jiangdu with this guest."
Craftsman Xu walked for two days and arrived at Jiangdu as expected. When he was still rejoicing, he saw a man walking in front of him, dressed like a businessman, so Chu Zi personally picked him up and bowed his head in salute.
"Is this Craftsman Xu?" he said with a smile.
Craftsman Xu replied: "Exactly. Are you a member of the Communist Party of China?"
The man shook his head and said, "I am a friend of my brother's. My surname is Wen and my name is Zhong. I have brought a carriage and horse here to invite you to the shopkeeper's house for a chat."
Craftsman Xu looked behind him carefully and saw that there was a carriage pulled by two horses waiting there.
"Please!" Wen Zhong helped Craftsman Xu get on the car, then turned to the slave and said, "Go through the back door of the gambling house."
He saw what Shopkeeper Wen said to the servant before he stepped forward. Seeing that the servant was riding his horse, he stopped thinking and focused on looking ahead.
But after walking for a long time, he actually took several detours and headed towards sparsely populated areas, which made him suspicious. But after all, Craftsman Xu was not familiar with the roads in Jiangdu, so he timidly asked: "Wen... Wen friend, what's going on here?"
Where to go?”
"How..." Wen Zhong's tone became vicious.
This sound made Craftsman Xu frightened, and he moved his body unconsciously, as if he wanted to run away.
Wen Zhong suddenly grabbed his wrist: "Wait a minute, don't leave in a hurry."
Craftsman Xu's eyes were darting around, and his face seemed to be reflecting the light under the sun.
The car gradually drove into the darkness, and the sound of the horse's hooves suddenly disappeared. Craftsman Xu got out of the car carefully, followed Wen Zhong, opened a small door, and entered a dark and empty room. In the distance, there were countless people shouting, cursing, and collisions.
The sound made Craftsman Xu's legs tremble: Did he hit a ghost?
They walked up the stairs and walked through a section of corridor. There were no lights on the road. Until the slave opened a door, the sunlight there shone through with a gentle touch. Craftsman Xu took a big breath and walked with Wen Zhong's help.
Entering the room, he saw two big men with tiger faces standing in front of the jujube wood table on the east side, with patches of black flesh exposed on their upper bodies and two fierce eyes. Craftsman Xu almost collapsed to the ground.
"Shopkeeper Wen, a good man Wen, I am a good citizen and have never done anything wrong with you. Why do you need to put on such a show? I have never seen the world. I will never dare to violate your divine power. I hope you will spare my life! I hope you will spare my life."
!”
He was about to kneel down, but Wen Zhong caught him with a smile: "Sir, don't be afraid, we don't have any bad intentions, we are just going to keep you here as a guest."
Craftsman Xu had a sad look on his face: "I don't have much ability as a villain. What can I do if I stay here? It's all a waste of hospitality! I wish the hero could let me go home without giving up the two taels of silver."
"You must never go back," Wen Zhong winked at the two men, "We have our own difficulties. How about staying here for ten days with plenty of food and drinks?"
As soon as the two big men approached, Craftsman Xu nodded his head dozens of times.
"Arrange a house to live in, and ask Craftsman Xu to write a letter to his family, saying that it will take ten days to draw the drawings, so go ahead."
The two big men couldn't help but lead Craftsman Xu out.
