A knife in love

Chapter 1388

Hearing what Master Wang said, Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he thought to himself that if it was true what Master Wang said, it would be more difficult than going to heaven to find the big boat.He thought of shopkeeper Yin and others who disappeared with the big ship, and thought that shopkeeper Yin loved money like his life, and if he fell into the hands of pirates, he would have to suffer a lot.I went to Fusang this time, which can be said to be full of disturbances.If there is no big boat, wouldn't it be impossible to move an inch?

Seeing that Li Qiufeng was silent and his face was cloudy, Wang Zhuang knew that he was worried, so he laughed and said: "Young Master Zhu, don't worry too much. These are all my guesses. Maybe the big ship is still in the coastal waters of Dongliao County. Not sure. I have already ordered Steward Wang to lead his people to search with all his strength, and he will rush back to inform Young Master Zhu as soon as there is news. But there is one thing, I want to remind Young Master to be careful."

Li Qiufeng saw the dignified expression of the owner of Wang Zhuang, and said in his mouth: "I would like to hear the details."

Master Wang said: "Mr. Zhu has only been in Dongliao County for a few days. I wonder what kind of person Li Zhisheng, the magistrate of Dongliao County, is like?"

Li Qiufeng felt a little strange when he heard that the owner of the Wang Zhuang suddenly changed the subject.He didn't know what the owner of Wang Zhuang wanted, so he just nodded, but didn't speak.Master Wang said: "Master Li was originally an official in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province. Because of embezzling official money and taking bribes, he was reported and sent to prison. He was supposed to be severely punished. But Mr. Li's cousin married the Governor of Shandong. His younger brother, his family went to the governor of Shandong Province, spent a lot of money, and finally let him escape from prison. However, Mr. Li's reputation is bad, and he can't stay in Shandong anymore, so he asked someone to take care of it in the Ministry of Officials After a lot of research, he finally went to Dongliao County to be the county magistrate. This person is a well-known corrupt official. I will knock Mr. Zhu for a fortune. Therefore, Mr. Zhu, don’t think that everything will be fine if you find the big boat.”

Li Qiufeng said: "Thank you for reminding me. But this big boat was hired by Master Xiao Dong, and I am just a servant. If Master Li wants to make a fortune, it is also on Master Xiao, which has nothing to do with me. .”

The owner of Wang Zhuang was stunned, and then smiled: "So that's the case. As long as it has nothing to do with the young master, I can rest assured. Haha, come, let's have another drink."

The four of them drank a few more glasses of wine, Wang Yuanwai was already somewhat drunk.He said to Li Qiufeng: "Master Pan said yesterday that the Zhongkui Temple must be built as soon as possible. Do you know why he is so anxious? This bastard is not trying to appease the people of Dongliao County at all, but just thinking about Motianling He can get benefits from the construction of the temple. For this temple, I have given out thousands of taels of silver. But these corrupt officials are not full yet, thinking about getting a few more from Lao Tzu. The Ming Dynasty The officials are so corrupt, how can they be undefeated? Haha, haha."

Li Qiufeng was taken aback, thinking to himself why the owner of the Wang Zhuang hated the court so much?Just thinking about it, this person has been oppressed by officials for many years, and he has long been suffocated.In the past two days, I have been running around looking for the big ship, and my heart is getting more and more annoyed.At this time, taking advantage of the wine to scold the government, a bad breath came out of his chest.

Wang Xiaoyu saw that the owner of Wang was a little lost, and hurriedly turned to a servant woman standing at the entrance of the lobby and said, "Hurry up and bring the sober soup to the owner!"

The servant woman agreed, turned around and ran out of the hall.Wang Xiaoyu said to Mr. Wang: "Father, you are drunk, and after a while you drank hangover soup, go back to the house and have a rest."

Master Wang shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not drunk! You girl, don't talk nonsense. I still have a lot to say to Mr. Zhu, how can I go back to the house to rest? Come on, Mr. Zhu, let's have another drink .”

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass again, but his wrists trembled, and he couldn't hold it, and the wine glass fell from his hand.Li Qiufeng's hands were quick and his eyes were quick, and he stretched out his right hand, taking the wine glass in his hand.In the blink of an eye, not a single drop of wine overflowed from the glass.Seeing that Li Qiufeng made such quick moves, Wang Xiaoyu was both surprised and happy, and thought to himself that he must finalize the matter of Mr. Li teaching me martial arts today, lest he regret it in the future.

Li Qiufeng put the wine glass on the table and said, "So, the construction of the temple will start in a few days?"

The owner of Wang Zhuang laughed and said: "In a few days, the construction will start tomorrow. Although the bricks, tiles and wood materials have not been prepared yet, but if it is delayed, it will not start until the year of the monkey. Besides, those muddy legs in Majiazhuang stay There are troubles in our village every day, and there was a ghost a few nights ago, and several people died. If it weren’t for Steward Wang’s appeasement, I don’t know what troubles would happen. If I don’t start work for a day, I will give them their wages for free, and it’s better Good food and wine greets me. If it drags on for more than ten days, I will lose a lot of money. Just as Mr. Pan, the bastard, urged me, I followed suit and promised to start work tomorrow. The Zhongkui Temple will be built one day earlier, and the road will be smooth , I can continue to trade medicinal materials."

At this point, the owner of Wang Zhuang smiled self-consciously, and then said: "Mr. Zhu, this bastard, Mr. Pan, is the same as Mr. Li. They are both masters who can't walk if they see a penny. He urged I started work, but Mr. Li was in a hurry. I also asked him, what should I do if the Zhongkui Temple is completed, but Motianling is still haunted? It’s impossible to build another Hades Hall! Mr. Zhu, what do you think of Lao Pan? What about the egg?"

Li Qiufeng saw Master Wang scolding Li Zhixian and Master Pan with a smile, and he didn't have any scruples in front of him, knowing that he was drunk, although he wanted to invite Master Wang to go back to rest, but he was a guest, and it was too impolite to ask the master to rest .So he just shook his head and said: "I don't know Mr. Pan, so I can't guess what he will say."

The owner of the Wang Zhuang laughed and said: "This bastard said that as long as the temple is built well, it doesn't matter whether his mother is haunted or not. Even if Master Zhong Kui can't subdue these evil spirits, it has nothing to do with the Yamen. If the common people want to blame, they can blame it. Master Zhong Kui's mana is too weak to defeat those evil spirits. It has nothing to do with Yamen and Master Li. Listen, is this a fucking human? Lao Pan, a bastard, and Master Li have long made up their minds to build Zhong Kui The temple is just an excuse for them to collect money. Building a temple can not only get money, but also appease the people of Dongliao County, such a cheap and good thing, Mr. Li will never miss it."

When the owner of Wang Zhuang said this, he laughed so much that he almost burst into tears.Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.Wang Xiaoyu saw that Zhuangzhu Wang lost his composure, while apologizing to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan, he wanted to help Zhuangzhu Wang back to the house to rest, but Zhuangzhu Wang refused to get up.The maid serving in front of the door didn't get the order from the Wang family's father and daughter. Although she wanted to help, she shy away from speaking.It wasn't until another servant woman came back with hangover soup that the two arrived at the table together.Wang Xiaoyu ordered the two to help Mr. Wang back to rest.The owner of the Wang Zhuang quarreled and refused to go back, but was dragged out of the main hall by two servants.
