Father Zhao and the second child looked at each other, looking a little confused. At first glance, the boss's words seemed a bit ridiculous. But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Everyone in the world knows that reading is good. But at the same time, reading is also a very expensive thing. In the past, my family was poor, so naturally I never thought of letting Zhao Gouer go to school. But now that the boss has brought back a few hundred strings, if
It is not impossible to support a dog to study.
"Brother's kindness, we appreciate it. Although we have money now to send the dog to school, it is your money after all. You still have to start a family, marry a wife and have children, and these expenses are not small. Let's forget it. Anyway, we
Our family has never produced a scholar for generations. As it is now, it is quite good." The second child interjected from the side.
The dog's eyes, which had just brightened up, dimmed again at his father's words, and he lowered his head as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
Father Zhao also echoed: "Yes, although our family is rich now, we are weak and weak. We don't reveal our wealth. If people know that our family is rich, evil spirits may come to ask for it. One more thing.
It's better to take one less thing and forget about studying."
Brother Zhao patted his depressed nephew on the shoulder and spoke confidently: "Dad, second brother, there is something we haven't had time to tell you yet."
"What's the matter?" Father Zhao was a little strange.
Brother Zhao was in high spirits, with confidence on his face, and said with a smile: "When we come back this time, we are not just going home. We came back with orders. Now our grain chief is no longer the one named Li.
It’s me!”
After hearing what the boss said, both Father Zhao and the second child had expressions of disbelief and disbelief.
But the two of them also know that there is absolutely no need for the boss to lie to them with such words. So, does that mean that what the boss said may be true?
If the boss really becomes the grain chief here, then the Zhao family will be truly prosperous!
Seeing this, Brother Zhao reached out and took out the official certificate of the grain chief from his arms, opened it and put it in front of the two of them, pointed with his thick fingers and said: "This is the official certificate appointed by the county government."
Although Mr. and Mrs. Zhao are illiterate, they know that the square red squares on this official certificate should be the official seal. In other words, this official certificate is genuine? They looked at it again and again, and raised their heads at the same time.
Looking at Boss Zhao, he was overjoyed!
However, after a few breaths, Father Zhao stretched out his hand and wiped his face vigorously. The rough palm rubbed against his face and it hurt slightly, but he didn't care at all. He said quietly: "You have become the grain chief, so now
Where is the Li family?"
Boss Zhao chuckled, carefully put away his official certificate, and said nonchalantly: "What does his matter have to do with us?"
Father Zhao, however, disagreed with his elder brother's words. He slowly shook his head and retorted: "The rabbit is in a hurry and wants to bite people. What's more, the Li family is basically a jackal. Will he willingly hand over the position of grain chief? We
Can’t see it!”
Father Zhao's expression was a little solemn. This incident was naturally a great good thing for the Zhao family. But for the Li family, it was simply a disaster.
The Li family has been the grain chief for many years, and has long been deeply rooted in the local area. It has huge influence and cannot be compared to the Zhao family.
"Dad, you are worrying too much. We have an official position in hand. From now on, we will be the chief of grain. No matter whether the Li family is willing or not, he can't change anything." Boss Zhao looked disapproving.
But Father Zhao didn't think so. He looked solemn and said in a low voice: "You have an official certificate, but the official certificate is dead, and the person is alive. If the Li family takes advantage of you just coming back, they will not be able to stand.
Steady, if we attack you directly, what will you do? If something happens to you, will the official certificate in your hand still be able to replace you as the grain chief? In my opinion, without further delay, you should go back to the county seat overnight.
It will only be safe for you to come back after the county government officially appoints you as the grain director and everyone knows about it."
The father's words immediately reminded Mr. Zhao. Not to mention, if the Li family jumped over the wall in a hurry, it was really possible. Moreover, at this moment, Mr. Zhao also understood why the county magistrate did not immediately send someone to follow him.
Let's announce our appointment together. Instead, we have to make excuses and delay it for a day.
At first, Boss Zhao was eager to go home and didn't think much about it. Now it seems that he may have offended the county magistrate.
He deliberately delayed it for a day so as to inform the Li family, and deliberately gave the Li family a chance to take action against him.
sinister!
Boss Zhao really didn't expect that that frail and frail old man could have such a cunning trick.
After figuring it out, Mr. Zhao didn't panic at all. He just smiled coldly, looked at his father and comforted him: "Dad, you just put your heart in your belly and want to do something to the child? How can it be so easy?"
"Two fists are hard to beat with four hands. We know you are not afraid, but you should avoid it. You have an official certificate in hand, and you will be a legitimate grain chief in a short time. There is no need to stay at home and take risks." Father Zhao has now
The boss is regarded as the backbone and hope of the Zhao family. Even if he is put in danger, he does not want anything to happen to him.
Boss Zhao was silent after hearing this. He knew that as long as he entered the county town, he would be safe. No matter how capable the Li family was, they would not dare to kill people on the street in the county town.
But this puts the whole family in danger. If the Li family can't find him, they will naturally look for his family. Of course, Boss Zhao can also take the whole family to the county town. Anyway, he has money now.
, the whole family stayed in the inn, and there was no problem at all for several years.
But he felt that it was not necessary, so he stayed at home and waited for the Li family to come. He wanted to see who the Li family were.
"Dad, you overestimate them. My son was on the grassland, caught in a life-and-death fight with tens of thousands of troops, and he was able to survive. How can the Li family want our lives? What a joke!" Boss Zhao said disdainfully.
After hearing this, the father could no longer persuade him. In fact, he also knew that although the eldest son was his son, he had been away from home for many years. The father and son had just met, so there could not be a deep relationship. The eldest son was unwilling to listen to him.
Yes, it was also within his expectation.
After chatting for a while, the three of them went to rest with their own worries. No matter what they had, they had to wait until dawn tomorrow.
As soon as it got light the next day, the second daughter-in-law got up and prepared meals for the family. In the past, there was no need to eat at this time, but it is different now. There are guests at home. They can not eat, but the guests cannot not eat.
.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the second daughter-in-law opened the door, she saw from a distance a group of people walking menacingly along the path towards her home.
"Master, it's not good, get up quickly." The second daughter-in-law was so frightened that she turned around and slapped the dilapidated door panel loudly, reminding everyone.
When everyone heard the noise, they quickly put on their clothes and went out.
Father Zhao saw a dozen strong men armed with guns and clubs walking into his yard aggressively. A look of fear appeared on his face. He spoke with a vibrato: "They are from the Li family. They are indeed here."
When Boss Zhao saw him, he glanced at the Li family members calmly. When he turned around, he saw that his father's face was not very good, so he waved his hand to block him behind him. He took two steps forward, with his hands behind his back and a fearless expression on his face.
To everyone.
The two people from Shanzi Camp saw that the person coming was not friendly, so they took a few steps forward.
The three of them stood side by side, with Boss Zhao in the middle, completely covering the Zhao family.
The head of the Li family was wearing a large blue satin, holding a jade tablet in his hand, standing behind a group of people, and said with a smile: "Who do I think has such courage, and dares to instigate me and try to occupy me?"
This grain chief. So it’s you? You, the boss of the Zhao family, have been dead for decades. Why didn’t you die outside? Why do you dare to come back and act like a monster? Do you think that with two people, you can live in the countryside?
Walking sideways?"
Hearing that the Li family so unscrupulously cursed Mr. Zhao to die in a foreign country, Mr. Zhao and others were furious. They understood that today, either they or the Li family would die, and there was no third possibility.
Boss Zhao was not angry. He just narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man who made the rude remarks. He said with a smile: "Chief of Grain? You are no longer the chief of grain here. We are the chief of grain here."
The Li family didn't show any anger at all. Instead, they laughed strangely like a night owl, "Are you the chief of grain?"
Before the county government officially informed me, I was still the grain director here. Before the county government officially appointed you, you were not. If you want to be the grain director, it also depends on whether you survive until then!
"
Boss Zhao squinted his eyes and looked at the Li family several times, and said loudly: "In the past, the Marquis said that people who work in car and boat shops should be killed if they are not guilty! We still don't understand what it means, but now it seems that it is
It’s you who are causing trouble to the disgusting rats in this village.”
"Go ahead and scold him, scold him hard. If you don't scold him now, you won't have a chance to scold him in the future. Tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut tut. Marquis, why don't you say you have met the emperor?" The Li family looked at the Zhao family boss like a cat playing with a mouse.
He held it calmly and said, looking at the boss of the Zhao family jokingly, and said disdainfully: "Do you think you can scare me and spare your life by bringing a Marquis out of thin air? You are dreaming, today
Even if you move the King of Heaven here, you will still die."
"You want me to die? Just you?" The Zhao family boss's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and he said sarcastically every word. When he looked at the Li family, it was as if two sharp swords were shot at him.
The Li family was suddenly startled, and was frightened by the Zhao family's boss's gaze. He was frightened away by the Zhao family's boss's look, and his face suddenly felt hot, a surge of anger surged up, and he was filled with hatred.
He waved his hand suddenly and said with a ferocious smile: "Come on, come on, beat him to death."
When the Li family yelled, the servants around them were ready to rush forward with something in their hands.
"Be brave, we are the grain chief. If you attack us in broad daylight, do you still think there is no law in your eyes?" Boss Zhao shouted and immediately stopped all the servants.
The Li family members looked ferocious and laughed wildly: "Wang Fa? I am Wang Fa here, kill me!"
Facing the Li family's orders, the servants laughed wildly and were about to rush forward.
"boom!"
Just as the servants rushed a few steps, a loud bang exploded in the yard, startling everyone.
Just when everyone was confused, a servant fell to the ground, hugged one of his legs, and let out a shrill scream.
The eldest son of the Zhao family held a revolver in his hand, and the black muzzle was still filled with wisps of green smoke.
Father Zhao, who was standing behind, could see very clearly that the things in the boss's hands were taken out of his cowhide box that was not allowed to be touched by Niu Niu.
By the way, the boss said that it contained the capital for him to settle down and make a living. Is this it?
All the servants stared blankly at their companions rolling on the ground, tossing and wailing, but they all secretly swallowed their saliva. No one dared to take a step forward, and no one dared to help the man on the ground.
"Fire gun?" The Li family's eyes suddenly widened with disbelief on their faces. They pointed at Boss Zhao and said sternly: "You dare to hide the fire gun secretly? This is a capital crime. You are doomed!"
"Hmph! We didn't hide this revolver privately. Besides, you can't accuse us." The boss of the Zhao family held his head high and said. He was too lazy to quarrel with the Li family anymore and cursed angrily: "You know better, get out of here, or else you will be killed."
I will hit you on the head once and kill you!"
When the servants saw how powerful the fire cannon was, they would knock someone down in one go. These people were fine in fighting with the wind, but when they saw a tough opponent, they immediately became intimidated and secretly retreated a little, hoping to find an opportunity to escape at any time.
"Give it to me. The fire cannon can only be fired once. If he fires it once, it will be useless. Give it to me. If you kill him, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver." Seeing that something was not going well, the Li family quickly wanted to uncover the secrets of the Zhao family.
The boss is pretending to be powerful.
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. When the servants heard that the Zhao family boss's gun was useless, and were stimulated by the reward, their eyes turned red, and they immediately rushed forward again.
Without any hesitation, Boss Zhao raised his hand and shot the Li family in the ear. When the gun rang out again, a ball of blood exploded from the head of the Li family.
When the Li family saw the firecracker bursting into flames against his head, he, who had heard about the power of the firecracker, fell into despair. Even the pain in his ears could not make him feel the slightest bit.
He only felt that it was repeated in his heart
The constant alarm bells are ringing suddenly, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die"
When consciousness returned to the body, the Li family screamed again and again, and groped their heads with their hands in a panic. After stroking for a while, they could not find the wound on their heads, and then they came back to their senses in a daze and murmured to themselves: "
I'm alive?"
Subconsciously he put down his hand, and suddenly saw the blood on his hand. He was so frightened that his limbs twitched and tensed up, "Ah! Ah~"
His two legs were jumping wildly on the ground, desperately trying to get away from the boss of the Zhao family. The clothes on his crotch area quickly soaked into a large ball, leaving a long trail of water on the ground.
When the servants saw the master being transformed into such a state, they immediately felt frightened and wanted to run away.
At this moment, when the Zhao family boss saw these servants still standing in front of him, he immediately raised his hand and fired at their feet.
"Bang~bang~bang~"
The rubble on the ground collapsed and flew, frightening all the servants to fly into the sky. They screamed and dropped the things in their hands and ran away desperately.
In an instant, the head of the Li family was the only one left in the yard.
Father Zhao is still in a daze after watching it from beginning to end. When the boss originally dismissed the Li family's revenge, he thought he was asking for help. He didn't expect that things would turn out like this. The boss actually
Really relying on his own strength, he completely defeated the Li family. Not even the boss's two colleagues came to help.
Maybe the two of them had known for a long time that these people would not be the boss's opponents, so they didn't take action, so Father Zhao thought.
At the same time, I couldn't help but glance at the firecracker in the boss's hand. Although it looked a little strange, it reflected white light extremely brightly, which gave people a strange sense of beauty.
The boss is right, this is indeed the foundation for a stable life!
The eldest son of the Zhao family, carrying a revolver and a smile on his face, walked towards the head of the Li family step by step.
At this time, the head of the Li family was full of fear of the boss of the Zhao family. Even the smile on his face seemed to the head of the Li family to be more frightening than the evil ghost's evil smile.
"Don't come here, don't come here~"
He hurriedly tried to escape, but his legs collapsed uncontrollably and he was jumping on the ground feebly.
Just when the boss of the Zhao family was about to walk in front of the head of the Li family, a voice came from the side.
"Chief Zhao, you are well."
The eldest son of the Zhao family paused and looked at the person walking in from the door. The smile on his face did not change and he said with a smile: "May I ask your surname, sir? It seems we have never met before, right?"
"Hahaha, Zhao Liangchang has never met a certain family, but a certain family has met Zhao Liangchang." The familiar visitor smiled before saying anything, then nodded and explained: "A certain family's surname is Zhang, Tian Wei
This Shiquan County arrests the head."
"I've seen Capt. Zhang." The boss of the Zhao family smiled even wider when he heard this, and saluted him with fists in his hands.
The boss of the Zhao family even understood why this catcher was here and stood up at the right time to stop him.
Obviously, this arrester had been hiding secretly for a long time, just to see what would happen to him. If he was beaten to death by someone sent by the Li family leader, then perhaps this arrester would not appear at all. Maybe even if
He will appear, and that will be after all the Li family members have left.
It's long overdue, this is also the basic operation of catching a police officer.
But if he turns defeat into victory, it is not impossible for him to jump out to stop it, or even cover the Li family on the spot.
As for why Capt. Zhang didn't jump out to protect the head of the Li family, the boss of the Zhao family could guess a little bit from how his eyes frequently fell on the revolver in his hand.
After Zhang received the order from the county magistrate, he was indeed planning to protect the head of the Li family. However, after seeing the power of the revolver, he did not dare to say the words of cover in front of the boss of the Zhao family no matter what.
The boss of the Zhao family ignored Zhang Captou, raised his hand to open the bomb bay, poured out the knocked out bullet casings and put them away, then pressed the bullets in one by one and closed it again.
