No one expected that this autumn rain, which could be described as wanton and wild, could last for six full days.
The smoke and mist of the mountains and rivers is a good metaphor for saying goodbye to summer and welcoming autumn. It takes advantage of a few days of autumn rain to encourage people to add more clothes, and takes advantage of the desolation of all things to wipe out people's luck.
People in the world are often not as self-aware as they think. They have to wait until the disasters and chaos that they are lucky enough to avoid destroy their luck, and only then do they think of adding autumn clothes, only then do they remember what will happen, don’t think about it, and have no choice but to see it in the end. ending.
After all, Honglu Pawnshop is a big force that has been entrenched in the border area for many years. It has been hit many times recently, and there is a critical situation where people are drifting apart. Some people are already planning to take advantage of the momentum to set up their own business, or go to compete, but it is just a mere In a few days, the entire Honglu Pawnshop has become orderly and orderly, and people's hearts have stabilized from top to bottom. At least no one dares to do anything out of the ordinary. Many people in the pawnshop put on sackcloth, kowtowed to pay homage to the deceased leader, and then one after another asked Peng Sanzhang, who had not had much real power in the past, to take over the responsibility.
In the past, no one would believe this kind of scene, but it was Peng Sanzhang who had never been powerful and had a lack of character. With just a few days in sackcloth, he brought the entire Honglu Pawnshop to a standstill, with the intention of starting a new business. , or those who planned to lure people to defect elsewhere, most of them were killed by Peng Sanzhang, cleanly and without leaving any room.
But on the bright side, although Peng Sanzhang secretly used thunderous methods frequently, he still made Honglu Pawnshop look like a mess, and there was even a lot of cronies who wanted to leave. True or false, it made the pawnshop Most people still think that Peng Sanzhang, who has never had personal power, does not have much ability to control Honglu Pawnshop like an iron bucket of gold, and few people are sure that he can be as capable as Peng Sanzhang's brother.
On the last day of autumn rain, its momentum gradually weakened. On this day, Peng Sanzhang no longer ran around, but left the mourning hall of Honglu Pawnshop and went to the new low mound in the bushes outside. He still did not forget to call Wen Yuxing and Ding. The girl, Qiao Xuan, caught a slight cold and rested in a mansion near Honglu Pawnshop, but did not follow.
"I still have to thank my two benefactors for their help. Although in the end, I still couldn't completely resolve the crisis in the Honglu Pawnshop, but it wasn't until today that I discovered that there were many things involved here. It's not a small matter. Thank you for your hard work. It has been done here. , I will repay my kindness."
Peng Sanzhang, who was dressed in plain linen clothes, knelt down in front of the mound, grabbed a few handfuls of soil and covered it with earth. His cheeks, which were originally thick, were now thinner, and he did have a bit of power, which was different from the past.
"It seems that your eldest brother's thoughts before he left were indeed accurate about your nature."
Wen Yu did not hold an umbrella, but flicked the edge of the hat with one finger, and a lot of rainwater fell to the ground in an instant. She looked at Peng Sanzhang, who was obviously very tired but had not rested, and the mound in front of him.
In the last half of Peng Sanwu's breath, he clearly ordered his third brother to kill a sibling murderer like himself, but in the end he did not wait for the latter to take action, and killed himself, in order to eliminate the guilt in the latter's heart, and also So that the latter does not have to worry about him, even if he hates his elder brother, it is best not to have any constraints and let Peng Sanzhang shoulder the responsibility of Honglu Pawnshop. But now it seems that such a move is actually very effective.
Peng Sanzhang smiled dryly and supported his body with both hands. He did not feel any resentment at Wen Yu's very inappropriate words, "I am alone and my mind is much brighter than before. I only found out about my elder brother's intention recently. I feel ashamed." "
"When Peng Sanqi was assassinated the day before yesterday, he could have intervened to rescue him, but he still didn't. Do you ever blame me?"
"What is supposed to come will come sooner or later. The eldest brother is walking a dead end. If we compare the future scene of Honglu Pawnshop with the life of the second brother, probably no matter how many times we choose, it will always be the same."
Wen Yu smiled.
In the past few days, Peng Sanzhang's hands had been stained with the blood of many people, but apart from the so-called decisiveness of killing, what impressed Wen Yu the most was that this young man who had never experienced the world, with his extremely short time... I figured out a few ways in that time, so I secretly tested the loyal people one by one, and recalled all the deep informants that Peng Sanwu had set up in recent years, and selected a few people to discuss important matters, and simply used the rest of the All the people with real power are lined up outside, and it is almost a few people who decide the future direction of Honglu Pawnshop. In all their actions, they did not avoid suspicion, but never concealed anything from Wen Yuxing and Ding. The exquisiteness involved was extremely profound.
At the beginning, Honglu Pawnshop was just a small force among the powerful forces outside the border. In recent years, not only has its power become stronger, but it has also become involved with the government. Peng Sanwu and the man who were clearly planted by the government Peng Sanwu died together with the old servant who was clearly arranged by the officials, but he definitely could not stand against the officials. After all, although Honglu Pawnshop is powerful, it is still not as powerful as the official family in the two kingdoms. Moreover, even if everyone knows it, the old servant can't tell who the order is. What's more, after Peng Sanwu's death, Zihao, Xia Song and others came to express their condolences, but they had already completely ignored him. Even if he pinched his nose and was polite, he still couldn't act like a mantis trying to act like a chariot. In such a situation, Peng Sanzhang was able to make a decisive decision and change the amount of power at hand in the entire Honglu pawnshop. In Wen Yu's view, firstly, he could avoid the many secret spies placed by the officials in the pawnshop, and secondly, he could The whole precarious Honglu Pawnshop was able to stabilize its position in an instant. Although there were still dangers and obstacles, it was actually the best strategy.
"You have grown up, but it is not enough. You are now far better than before. If you want to deal with the officials, there is still a huge chasm."
Peng Sanzhang kowtowed to the mound three times, then stood up, tilted his head and laughed at himself: "I have never thought about dealing with officials, and the four words "revenge" have always been admired and envied by me since I was a child. I hold hands with those so-called immortals. People generally long for mountains, but if this mountain is too vast, who can have the thought of holding it with one hand? Wouldn't it be just right to take a detour, where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright."
The young man's face was not outstanding, but he had a pair of eyebrows and eyes that looked at others. They were clear in black and white, and looked very serious. At this moment, Peng Sanzhang had ascended to the head of the family, and his eyes were still as serious and peaceful as usual. Even Wen Yu Didn't notice much difference.
Once I become enlightened, the sky is the limit for me.
In the end, Peng Sanzhang did not forget to send people to guide Wen Yu and others. He was wearing linen and sitting on the highest floor of the Honglu Pawn Shop. Looking up, the sky was high and the clouds were wide, and the rain had just begun to stop.
But there were only a few trusted people standing beside him, most of them were old guys with gray hair who had worked for Honglu Pawnshop for decades. They were standing behind Peng Sanzhang in linen clothes, feeling uneasy in their hearts, which had disappeared for no reason in the past few days. Most of the time, I don't know whether it was because the young man's methods were initially reassuring, or because the dust had settled and the Honglu Pawnshop was still stable, and then I felt a little calmer. The rules set by Peng Sanzhang are tantamount to implicating the lives of these people with this pawn shop. The thunderous methods in the past few days have already suppressed several people, so in the current surrounding season, no one dares to Some of them were arrogant, but they all stood with their hands down.
The young man in linen clothes closed his eyes and rested his mind. His hands were not idle. He placed two longevity locks in his palms and rubbed them slowly. There was no trace of joy or anger at all.
"Master, today the two foreign benefactors have left, and we should see each other off. Although Honglu Pawnshop is not as big as before, we still have to give you face, not to mention cleaning up the pawnshop. These two helped each other. It would be rude to go."
Several people looked at each other, but some brave enough to step forward, bowed and asked.
"Old Fei is worried. Face is not valuable to those two people. Giving help in times of need is the most valuable thing. What's more, after this incident, there are only two consequences. One is that the younger generation has a dark heart and wants to get rid of it; the other is that the younger generation has a dark heart and wants to get rid of it; I came to Honglu Pawnshop and he and I were connected by the same fate. People knew the details of Honglu Pawnshop, and I also knew what terrible intentions these two people had. Instead of doing all the superficial things, it would be better to manage Honglu Pawnshop. Let’s prosper and be helpful in the future.”
His voice was very tired. At this time, several people around him realized that the new master had not rested well in recent days. Instead, he was running around, forcing the entire Honglu Pawnshop to stabilize its position. So they came to persuade them one after another, but... Unexpectedly, Peng Sanzhang, who was sitting in front of the window, waved his hand and ignored it.
"The eldest brother is more thoughtful and smart than me, and he is even more talented. However, he steps too fast and is forced to do nothing. The younger brother is not as clever as the two elder brothers. He is not very skilled and has little intelligence, so he can only use stupid methods. , since the official wants a running dog who only knows how to be obedient, then it is not shabby for this young running dog to do it. In the future, there will be only one rule in Honglu Pawnshop, and that is to not show off one's integrity, no matter how heavy the punishment is to establish prestige. The method requires a few people to regulate the thoughts and actions of the people in the pawn shop. If something goes wrong, grasshoppers will be tied to the same rope after autumn, and no one will be in a good position. I hope you will work hard."
Before several people could show their loyalty, Peng Sanzhang waved his guests off and sat alone in front of the window, looking down at the two longevity locks.
For several old men who had worked for Honglu Pawnshop for many years, the new head's methods in the past few days were beyond expectations, so they all resigned. No one tried to persuade Peng Sanzhang not to grieve excessively, but to just let it go. One of them sits alone in a tall building, but he should not be left idle for too long. The first word on the silver lock is the word "ware" and the word "wu". Adding the word "Peng Sanzhang" to the seal, it makes exactly three.
"Father said that life is not easy for little people like me, and sometimes they may not be able to retain any humanity. Only now do I understand why those uncles passed away, and these three longevity locks are not just for life-saving prayers. I blame the two elder brothers, it’s because the younger brother has been reluctant to wake up, and that’s why he didn’t expect what happened today.”
"It turns out that I am the Gu."
Peng Sanzhang, who was sitting alone on the highest floor of the Honglu Pawnshop, had a trembling face, crying and laughing, but he did not shed any tears in the end. He carefully passed the thread through the three longevity locks and hung them around his waist. He lowered his head for a long time, and kept saying: He didn't even raise his head.
Tomorrow and tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows, I hate the sufferings, and I hang with each other.
