A knife in love

Chapter 1392

Li Qiufeng recognized that it was shopkeeper Hu who spoke, and thought to himself, this time he went to Fusang, shopkeeper Hu was obviously the head of the six shopkeepers.But in front of Xiao Dong, he was servile and servile, just like Xiao Dong's servant.This man has a lot of money, but he can bend and stretch. He can be regarded as a very scheming person.On the other hand, Xiao Dong is narrow-minded and domineering. Once he encounters any danger, shopkeeper Hu and others will certainly make trouble.If you walk with these people yourself, you have to be careful in everything.

Zhang Shi winked at Li Qiufeng and Qin Laowu, signaling them to speak carefully, and then opened the door while agreeing.I saw shopkeeper Hu standing in front of the door, with his hands in his sleeves, and his face was a bit ugly.Zhang Shi smiled and said: "Old Hu, you are too polite. If you want to find me, just open the door and come in. Why stand in front of the door and wait?"

Shopkeeper Hu shook his head, and said, "How dare Hu be rude in front of Mr. Zhang?"

Shopkeeper Hu looked into the house while talking, and when he saw Li Qiufeng.He was startled for a moment, then his face showed joy, and he said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Zhu is back, which is really great."

Shopkeeper Hu followed Zhang Shi into the room while talking, and closed the door, then lowered his voice and said to Zhang Shi: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xiao is a little irritable today. You need to be careful when you go to see him later." .”

Qin Laowu snorted, and was about to speak, Zhang Shi hurriedly winked at him, coughed, and then said to shopkeeper Hu: "Thank you for reminding me, Zhang must be careful, so as not to touch Master Xiao." You must be scolded by him."

Qin Laowu knew that shopkeeper Hu and Xiao Dong had a very close relationship, so Zhang Shi didn't allow himself to speak because he was worried that shopkeeper Hu would spread his dissatisfaction with Xiao Dong.It's just that he was so angry that he couldn't hold it back, and said in a rough voice: "When will our Master Xiao not be irritable? If he is not irritable, we don't have to worry about it every day."

Zhang Shi was stunned, scolding Qin Laowu for being confused, and hurriedly said to cover up for him: "Old Qin lost his big boat, and he was anxious. He couldn't even eat for the past two days, and he didn't have a clue when he talked. "Old Hu, don't tell Master Xiao what he said."

Shopkeeper Hu gave a wry smile, and said, "Mr. Zhang, I know what you mean. Right now, Mr. Xiao is so angry that I see him like a mouse seeing a cat. He dare not even say a word. Old Qin lost his big ship." , If I were him, I would still be fidgeting. We are all grasshoppers on the same rope now, and I can tell which is more important."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and then he continued: "Zhang Yuanwai, you should hurry to see Master Xiao. You might as well go with Zhang Yuanwai, Mr. Li, and talk to him about the Wangjiazhuang. You two must remember , try to say as little as possible, if Master Xiao gets angry, just listen and don't argue with him."

Seeing that shopkeeper Hu was so afraid of Xiao Dong, Zhang Shi and Qin Laowu scolded him for being cowardly like a mouse, but on the surface they couldn't stop nodding, saying yes repeatedly.

Zhang Shi said to Qin Laowu: "Old Qin, brother Zhu and I went to see Mr. Xiao, you go back to your room to rest first, and we can discuss things later."

Qin Lao Wu hated Xiao Dong so much that Ba had no choice but to go see him.Hearing what Zhang Shi said, it was exactly what he wanted.So he nodded and said: "Okay, just follow the orders of the staff."

Zhang Shi, Li Qiufeng and Shopkeeper Hu went to the door of Xiao Dong's guest room together.Shopkeeper Hu knocked lightly on the door twice, and said respectfully, "Lord Xiao, Zhang Yuanwai and Young Master Zhu are back."

I only heard Xiao Dong say in the room: "Please come in."

Shopkeeper Hu gently pushed the door open, and invited Zhang Shi and Li Qiufeng to enter.Zhang Shi wanted to ask shopkeeper Hu to come in first, but shopkeeper Hu shook his head and said in a low voice, "Master Xiao wants to see you two, I can't go in."

Shopkeeper Hu said this, with a look of resentment on his face.Both Zhang Shi and Li Qiufeng thought that Xiao Dong had been restless these past few days, and presumably he didn't have a good look at Shopkeeper Hu.Seeing him like this, I'm afraid he also harbors resentment towards Xiao Dong.

The two entered the room, and shopkeeper Hu gently closed the door from the outside, and then he let out a sigh of relief.It's just that he was afraid that Xiao Dong would ask him to do something, but he didn't dare to leave. He still stood at the door, feeling a little bitter in his heart.He thought to himself that he was a well-known rich man in the south of the Yangtze River, but now he is a lackey for Xiao Dong's gatekeeper.It's just that if everything goes well during this trip to Fusang, at least 3 to [-] taels of silver can be earned.As the so-called wealth and wealth are sought in insurance.As long as you can get money, even if you are accused by Wan Fu, what is there to be afraid of?

After Li Qiufeng followed Zhang Shi into the room, he saw Xiao Dong sitting in front of the table, playing with a teacup with his right hand, with a gloomy expression on his face.Zhang Shi bowed and saluted, and said in his mouth: "I pay my respects to Mr. Xiao."

Li Qiufeng followed Zhang Shi and saluted.Xiao Dong waved his left hand and said in his mouth: "There is no need to be too polite, the two of you should sit down and talk."

Zhang Shi said with a smile on his face: "In front of Lord Xiao, how can we sit down? Just say what you want, let's stand and wait."

Xiao Dong scratched his head, put the teacup on the table, stood up, took a few steps in the room, sighed, and said: "Old Zhang, I still don't know where the big boat has gone. If we continue to toss, Our going to Fusang has come to naught."

Zhang Shi respectfully said: "Master Xiao, Brother Zhu has lived in Wangjiazhuang for two days, but he has found some news, which may help Master Xiao find the big boat..."

Before Zhang Shizhen finished speaking, Xiao Dong suddenly turned around, walked quickly to Li Qiufeng, and asked anxiously: "Quickly tell me, where is the big boat!"

Zhang Shi heard that Xiao Dong's voice was harsh, as if he was interrogating a prisoner, he could be said to be extremely rude, and he was worried that Li Qiufeng would lose his face and would argue with Xiao Dong, but when he heard Li Qiufeng speak, his voice was quite calm.I just listened to him talking, and told about the Daxue Mountain bandits and the Dashan Island pirates told by the owner of the Wang Zhuang.Only then did Zhang Shi feel relieved, thinking to himself that Brother Zhu was more stable than Qin Laowu, who was much more reliable.

After hearing Li Qiufeng's words, Xiao Dong was both surprised and happy, and said: "Okay, okay, Brother Zhu is really amazing. He lived in Wangjiazhuang for two days and found out such important news. If we send the big ship After finding it, Brother Zhu has contributed the most."

Li Qiufeng said a few words of humility, but Xiao Dong changed his countenance again.He gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it, Wang didn't tell me about such important news. And the teacher named Pan in the magistrate's yamen also knew about these things, but he just didn't say it. We waited for two days in vain. Hmph, since these bastards are fooling us, I can't let them have their way!"

After Xiao Dong finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Zhang Shi: "Old Zhang, you just go to the magistrate's office and call Li Zhisheng, Master Pan and others over, and I will scold them severely and vent my anger! "
