Just when people in Wolong Village were panicking, the fat shopkeeper of Shizilou was also on pins and needles.
My nephew went out to do errands with six thugs yesterday, but not even one of them came back.
Worried, the fat shopkeeper didn't sleep well last night and his eyes were redder than a rabbit.
His nephew Pang Wannian is the successor he trained. He is going to Bianliang, Tokyo to open a restaurant, and plans to leave his nephew to look after the family.
Now that Pang Wannian had not returned all night, how could the fat shopkeeper sit still? As soon as it dawned, he found Hu Laoer, the only remaining thug in the Lion House, and asked him to go out to inquire about the situation.
When it was almost noon, Hu Laoer came back with a pale face and told the fat shopkeeper the bad news. He found the bodies of three thugs in the woods.
In addition, there is also an inscription left by the bandits of Heisongling, saying that he will send 10,000 taels of silver to Heisongling within a time limit to redeem Pang Wannian, otherwise he will bear the consequences!
The fat shopkeeper was shocked and angry.
He was so shocked that he had suffered heavy losses. Each of the eight thugs in the Lion House was a master that he had recruited at great cost. The death of one of them made him feel distressed, let alone three of them died at once!
What makes him angry is that the bandits in Black Pine Ridge don't understand the current affairs and don't ask where the Lion Tower is. They kidnapped his nephew and dared to kill his own men without telling him. They are really impatient!
The remaining three thugs, the fat shopkeeper thought they were captured together with his nephew Pang Wannian.
If they knew it, they would all die, and they would die of heartache!
"Hu Er, take my name card. I'm going to see the great master and ask him to send troops to suppress Black Pine Ridge!"
The elder is the county magistrate. To show respect, most people call him the elder.
"Shopkeeper, if the eldest master sends troops, what will Young Master Wannian do? Will those bandits..."
"this……"
Only then did the fat shopkeeper realize that he was on the verge of death. Unless he didn't want his nephew and three thugs, Black Pine Ridge couldn't be moved for the time being!
"Hu Er, what do you think we should do?"
Hu Laoer rolled his eyes. What's the point of asking me?
I asked you to redeem someone with ten thousand taels of silver. Are you willing?
As the second among the eight thugs in the Lion House, Hu Laoer knew the fat shopkeeper very well. This guy was born in the year of Pixiu. As long as he ate food, he would never pull it out.
Why did Pang Wannian never come back?
It's not because this guy is greedy. After spending money to buy the secret recipe of the clay leg in Wolong Village, he still wants to get back the money he spent.
It was a good thing this time. Before I got the money back, my nephew had to pay for it first, and he also lost a few capable men!
The fat shopkeeper had no intention of letting Hu Er answer. He wandered around the room for a long time like a harried donkey, and finally slapped him hard: "Straight bitch, Hu Er, go find someone to give Heisong some advice." The bandits in Ling sent a letter, saying that I, Pang Hai, promised to redeem people, but ten thousand taels of silver was too much, so let them ask for less!"
"yes!"
Hu Er was very surprised. What kind of trouble did the fat shopkeeper commit today? Why did he agree so readily, ten thousand taels of silver, just as he promised?
Straight lady, is there some conspiracy?
Well, as a superior, once he plays too many dirty tricks, even his subordinates will no longer trust him.
…
After everything stabilized, Yun Chao was ready to tinker with his own affairs.
Previously, Yun Chao bought three hundred kilograms of so-called brown sugar at Nanhuo Store in Qingyang County.
Now he was going to see if he could turn brown sugar into white sugar...white sugar.
Unfortunately, Yunchao is not majoring in agricultural chemical engineering and does not know the chemical method of decolorizing brown sugar.
However, Yun Chao knew that there was a method, which seemed to be called yellow mud decolorization, but he couldn't remember clearly. In short, it was a technique of using yellow mud to decolorize brown sugar.
The main principle of the so-called yellow mud decolorization method is adsorption and filtration.
To filter, use something like a funnel.
Yun Chao thought for a long time and found that in the memory of the original owner there was something called a tile, which was similar to a large funnel made of clay and was generally used when extracting oil.
Ordinary villagers in Wolong Village can't even afford food and can barely squeeze oil, so they can only borrow it from the old boy Lai Zhicheng. The original owner seems to have seen him use it in his memory.
Boom boom boom...
Yun Chao knocked on Lai Zhicheng's door.
With a creak, the door opened, revealing a pretty face.
"Yun...Yun Er, you know everything...ahem, who are you looking for?"
Yun Chao was startled, thinking that Lai Zhicheng's family had a beautiful snake. When he took a closer look, it turned out to be his sister-in-law.
"I'm here to borrow a tile..."
Halfway through his words, Yun Chao couldn't continue. What did the little lady mean by staring at him? Is there something dirty on her face?
Zheng Qiaoyun was extremely nervous. Ever since she heard that Lai Zhicheng and his son had conspired to plot against Yun Chao, she felt as uncomfortable as grass growing in her heart.
It's not that she has deep feelings for Yun Chao, it's mainly that the actions of Lai Zhicheng and his son had a great impact on her outlook on life.
I really can't accept colluding with bandits and plotting against people in my own village.
When she first saw Yun Chao, Zheng Qiaoyun's soul was almost frightened. She thought that Yun Er knew the truth and came to settle accounts with her sister and brother-in-law!
Hearing Yun Chao mention Wa Liu, Zheng Qiaoyun was stunned for a long time before he realized that Yun Er didn't seem to be here to settle accounts: "Oh, okay, I'll get it for you right now!"
After saying that, Zheng Qiaoyun turned around and ran away. In a panic, he tripped and fell forward with an ouch!
Yun Chao had a black line on his forehead. See what happened. Borrowing something actually caused trouble.
Seeing that Zheng Qiaoyun was about to fall, Yun Chao didn't think much at all. He quickly took a step forward and put his arms around her waist!
"Are you OK?"
It wasn't until he held Zheng Qiaoyun in his arms that Yun Chao felt that something was wrong. This was the Wu Dynasty, and we were not the ones who could buy a house just by looking at each other. As a young man, even if there was a reason, he hugged the waist of a young girl. It doesn't seem appropriate either.
Zheng Qiaoyun was so embarrassed that even in the middle of winter, when she was wearing more clothes and having Yun Chao's arms around her waist, she couldn't bear it.
His face turned red like a big apple, his whole body was stiff, and he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet...
As for quickly getting rid of Yun Er's clutches and escaping from his arms?
Sorry, I am young and inexperienced. I am only too shy to think of anything else!
Although the atmosphere of the Dawu Dynasty was not like that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations, where it was so perverted that wearing clothes and bare sleeves was a sign of indignity, it was still much more conservative than the era before Yun Chao traveled through time. Two men and women standing next to each other like this are husband and wife. They can't do it in front of outsiders.
I don't know what happened, but at this moment, the door opened and Lai Zhicheng appeared with a cane.
One step inside and one step outside, Lai Zhicheng saw a man and a woman at the door of the compound...
Hey, what's going on?
Why does that woman look so much like my sister-in-law?
Why does that man look so much like Yun Er?
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"
Lai Zhicheng exploded: "Yun Er, you are going too far! I will fight with you!"
