Chapter 9: With a "squeak" sound, the vermilion door opened only a crack, and a fat head emerged from the crack. The smooth forehead was full of wrinkles, which showed that he was fat and inhumane.
Comparable
"Who is it? So reckless!" The fat man who opened the door was the housekeeper Bao Aigen. His fat head was shiny. He roared angrily and wanted to say something else, but the door bounced open and was kicked open by Ma Changfa.
Then he snorted and got out like a winter melon.
"His uncle, he asked us to wait outside the door for a long time, and he still thinks it's verbose? What a fucking idiot! Why don't you ask your boss, Ma Liu, to come over?!" Ma Changfa was impatient. He had just been raped in the slums.
Laughing, I have nowhere to vent my worries
Bao Aigen got up from the ground, and before he had time to brush off the dirt on his body, he was stunned after hearing Ma Changfa's words. He knew that today's visit was not a good one. When he looked up again, he saw Ke Han in official robes staring at the door.
With a bad smile on his face, he hurriedly walked forward and bowed, smiling with his face, then turned around and ran towards the courtyard.
After a while, an old man in a green coat walked out of the house and shouted in panic: "Oh, the Lord's presence makes Pengpi shine! May I ask when did the Lord come to Taohuawu? Just
I need to give you some support so that I can be prepared! Well, this is a bit too far, I hope you will forgive me!!"
Ke Han just remained silent, waiting at the door with his hands behind his back.
Ma Changfa stood beside Ke Han with his hands on his hips and a dull expression.
Rich Man Zhang must be very familiar with the county magistrate. He wanted to get closer. After running to the door, he grabbed Ke Han's sleeve with one hand and invited Ke Han into the room with a smile.
Ke Han shook his sleeves in disgust, and Rich Man Zhang's smiling face froze, and his expression looked extremely embarrassed. He cursed in his heart: How many days have it been? Are you here again to get benefits? It was always that master who came here before. What happened today?
If you just come by yourself, nothing will happen? Oh my god!...
Rich Man Zhang quickly retracted his fat hand, trying to find a step. Then he looked at Ma Changfa, who had a serious look on his face. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, so he repeated dully: "I don't know if the eldest master is here. I'm not expecting you from afar. What's the matter?"
I’m offended!”
"Haha, where is it?" Ke Han finally spoke up. He changed the subject and said directly, "Your place is really comparable to a fairy cave. People come here and forget to return! Well, what a place. It's obviously
May you always have good fortune, and good luck only resides in the Zhang Mansion!'..."
Rich Man Zhang was already nervous enough. Being hurt by Ke Han made him even more frightened, so much so that he felt a little restless. He awkwardly wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead because he couldn't figure out what Ke Han was selling in the gourd.
medicine
Ke Han put his hands behind his back, walked into the courtyard by himself, and then walked into the hall.
Ma Changfa was also unambiguous. He followed Ke Han into the hall and quickly moved the grand master's chair in the middle of the hall behind Ke Han.
Rich Man Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then he entered the hall of his house.
"Well, Taohuawu has a nice view!" Ke Han buried his butt in the Grand Master's chair, picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp, then threw it heavily on the table.
Mr. Zhang, who followed him in and was about to sit down, was frightened. He stood up straight again at a loss, but he bowed his waist respectfully and never dared to raise his head to look at Ke Han.
Ke Han glanced at Mr. Zhang calmly, knowing that he had calmed the old man, so he said without any color: "Old Master Zhang's contribution is indispensable!"
The sweat stains on Rich Man Zhang's forehead that had not dried yet shone again, and his legs became weak and trembled slightly.
This rich man Zhang really knows the county grandpa's donkey temper. Just talking about Xiu'er. Originally, Xiu'er was meant to be kept for himself, but he took it away forcefully and let himself happily get the so-called
Although he finally recovered the gift money from Xiuer's house with Fa'er in mind, he still kept hiding his unhappiness in his heart. Could it be that he knew about it and wanted to exploit it again? Rich Man Zhang regretted his behavior at that moment.
He was stingy and impulsive. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. His heart sank and he thought: Oh, the storm is coming!
I was secretly worried about this matter, but I didn't dare not to accept the master's words, so I quickly replied tremblingly: "I don't dare, I don't dare, it's all thanks to the master's good management!"
"It's a pity..." Ke Han changed the subject as expected, but he was not in a hurry to speak frankly.
Rich Man Zhang was already frightened. He could no longer hold his breath. He was eagerly waiting for Ke Han's words.
At this time, Bao Aigen changed another pot of tea, and was about to refill Ke Han's tea cup when he heard Ke Han's dissatisfied pun: "It's good but not useful, how can this be done?"
Bao Aigen didn't know what was going on and almost poured the boiling water on his hand. He was so frightened that he quickly picked up the overturned teacup.
"Hey, please change to a bigger cup. Master, I'm very thirsty and have no time to chat!" Ke Han raised his hand, knocked off the tea cup, and shouted, "You have to do things the right way!"
"Master, please calm down, I've confessed my sin!" Mr. Zhang thought that Ke Han was really angry about the gift money, and that Xiu'er really surrendered to him in love? In this way, it really didn't happen
I was living a good life, so my head started to buzz, and I knelt down with a thud and begged, "Please give me a clear way!"
Ke Han was confused by Mr. Zhang's actions for a moment. Unexpectedly, he had unexpected gains. However, it was unclear what the old man was hiding, so he winked at Ma Changfa.
, indicating that he would put a little more pressure on this rich man.
Ma Changfa understood the idea. He stepped forward to the table, stood next to the fat man, and slashed down Bao Aigen's slightly hunched back with his knife. He directly cut off one corner of the Eight Immortals Table and also slashed Bao Aigen's back.
He brought a piece of cloth, then wiped the blade with the piece of cloth, and said with a smile: "The table with four corners is not grand enough. Hey, Master Zhang's should be more special! It's a pity that my knife is not as good as the carpenter's."
If the planer comes neatly, just make do with it.”
Housekeeper Bao Aigen had already wet his crotch, and his face turned pale with fright.
"That money, I, I will give it back right now and withdraw..." Rich Man Zhang was shaking like chaff, and it took a lot of effort to finish these words, and then he collapsed to the ground.
Ke Han was very surprised, but who would go against money? Who cares, this is an unexpected fortune!
"Okay, okay!" Ke Han had been sitting still, looking at the miserable state of the fat butler Bao Aigen and Mr. Zhang, he remained calm, paused slightly, and then said "magnanimously", "It's rare that you have
With such a high level of consciousness, if Taohuawu is managed by people like you, why should I feel uneasy?..."
Mr. Zhang smiled bitterly and kept nodding.
"Uh, what, Mr. Zhang!" Ke Han walked up to Mr. Zhang, patted his shoulder blades, then pulled him up with a smile on his face, and said calmly, "Actually, the reason why I came today is to
Look at the situation in Taohuawu. To be honest, the traffic is really a problem! Fortunately, Mr. Zhang is still very well off. Maybe there will be improvements when I come here next time?"
"That's that!" Mr. Zhang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, but he failed to express his position clearly.
"The county's expenses are also huge, and I'm afraid there won't be any support! Of course, with Old Master Zhang's reputation and style, this won't be a problem at all. In addition, I can also issue an official document and let the villagers go to work.
, offset part of the taxes and fees that should be paid, and also save labor costs, isn't it the best of both worlds? I wonder what you think?" Ke Han asked slowly
This is clearly an order, so there is no room for negotiation?
Rich Man Zhang only agreed and did not dare to disobey in the slightest. At this moment, he spoke simply and stopped being sloppy. He said in a frightened and flattering manner: "Thank you for your trouble, sir."
Bao Aigen was still looking at Ma Changfa tremblingly, watching him wipe the blade of the knife with a piece of cloth cut from his back. He was afraid that he would make another move. Then he heard the trembling voice of the rich man Zhang, as if he was reading a telegram and said urgently: "
Go quickly, get that 'snack' for the master..."
Ke Han finally asked the rich man to sit down with him, and said with an easy-going smile, "Haha, sir, I married Xiu'er from Taohuawu, and we are one of our own, why are you so polite? Don't keep it to outsiders,
It’s okay to help each other out if we have something to do! Haha, um, I really have something to trouble Old Master Zhang right now.”
Before Rich Man Zhang could sit firmly, he was startled again and stood obediently, not daring to touch the chair with his butt.
"We are all members of our own family. Why don't you ask me how I got here?" Ke Han took a roundabout way and spoke reproachfully. Although he was still smiling, it made Rich Man Zhang even more frightened.
Ke Han winked at Ma Changfa again, then closed his eyes and said nothing.
"Our master is considerate of the people's sentiments, but unexpectedly, the folks here misinterpreted his intention and destroyed the carriage that was stuck in the mud ditch. I want to end it, but the master understands the righteousness and does not pursue the case. Instead, the horse is frightened and runs away.
Tell me, how do you manage this? How do the villagers pamper you? Are you so easily irritable?..." Ma Changfa started accusing him one after another.
Bao Aigen picked up a package and crawled over. Ma Changfa stopped and took the package directly from the fat man's hand and stood next to Ke Han.
"This is the one for Xiu'er..." In panic, Rich Man Zhang opened his mouth. Knowing that he had violated his taboo, he quickly changed his words and said against his will, "This is my wife's intention. If the master returns to the county government, he will
There is also an idle carriage. If you don’t dislike it, you should treat it as a filial piety to the master. I beg the master to accept it. Being able to work for the master is a blessing to my Zhang family!!"
Ke Han opened his eyes, picked up the tea cup, and thought to himself: This is how to quench your thirst! Do you want your blessing to only be in Zhang Mansion? Humph! At this moment, he no longer drank, just took a sip of tea, and said emphatically:
"Well, the transportation, ah, roads need to be repaired, don't forget them!"
Mr. Zhang wiped his forehead, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly called for someone to cook. He wanted to make amends for the county magistrate's "scare" with good food and wine, and he couldn't afford to neglect this!
