"Who is Master Xu?"
It was approaching night, and seven or eight officers with swords stood coldly in front of Zhuangzi. This scene made Si Hu, who was originally a little guilty, get up angrily.
"Brother Tiger, don't worry." Jiang Caiwei came over in a hurry and comforted her. Even though she said this, her raised face was clearly very nervous.
"Master, I am Xu Mu, my boss." Xu Mu smiled slightly. He knew without guessing that it must be another bitch who maliciously reported that he had an affair with those heroes.
"Look, sir, something bad happened today. I got closer and was stabbed." Xu Mu raised his arm, revealing the wound that was still bleeding.
"See, Master Xu is well rested." The seven or eight officials said in a disgruntled tone without any evidence. Seeing that Xu Mu was injured, after saying this, they were too lazy to deal with him anymore and left in the dark night.
Even from a distance, Xu Mu could still hear the sound of the shackles grinding together.
In Xu Mu's opinion, this knife that cut off the suspicion was the best gift given by the two heroes.
"Chen Sheng, leave someone on duty overnight. The rest will go back to the house to sleep. The order for a thousand jars will be busy in a few days."
Turning around, Xu Mu let out a long breath.
…
A few days later, Xia'er's matter finally faded away a bit. Silly brother Si Hu, fortunately, was not affected. He still had ten steamed buns every meal, and he should eat and drink when he should. Yesterday, he ran out and defrauded the neighbor's child of half a bunch of candied haws.
As for the little assassin, he seemed to have disappeared from the world and hadn't made a move for a long time. But this feeling was uncomfortable and made Xu Mu feel like there was a lump in his throat. I wish I could catch the assassin one day and hang him up first before giving him a beating.
The hanging corpse at the city gate was taken back after being exposed to the sun for three days, hastily wrapped in mats, and buried in a mass grave.
All this seems to have nothing to do with Xu Mu. They seem to be closely connected.
"Master, is it time to collect the grain?" Chen Sheng washed the recovered horse and turned around to speak.
"Of course I have to accept it."
The order for a thousand jars cannot be delayed any longer. With this rise in the wine market, it is estimated that the four major households will stumble again.
Not to mention that you can't get it near Tangjiang City, you probably won't be able to get it if you go to Fengcheng. The last time Chen Sheng went to Zhuangzi in the countryside of Fengcheng to get the grain back, he raised the price.
This time I go again and the granary is still empty.
"My boss, we can only go to Chengcheng. If you go forward past Chengcheng, you may receive food."
"How many days does it take to come and go?"
"Six or seven days."
There was still enough time on the 6th or 7th, and the delivery time agreed with the restaurant owners was the beginning of next month.
"Chen Sheng, don't go this time."
"Ah? What's wrong with my boss?"
"Stay in the village and be careful."
Chen Sheng is a more stable man and would be better off staying at Zhuangzi.
"I listen to my boss." Chen Sheng nodded.
"We will all stay in the village, and remember not to fall into other people's traps. If anyone has any ideas, just tell him that General Zhao over at the border will come to visit Zhuangzi in a few days."
Zhao Qingyun, a young border general, was the only official family member they knew. Xu Mu wanted to spend money to find out about Zhao Qingyun two days ago, but he still held back. No matter what, Zhao Qingyun should have his own way.
I guess he also brought the pension for the hundred military achievements.
"Master, I must be careful."
Xu Mu smiled happily. It was not that he was overly cautious, but that this was the current situation. The four major households were probably furious because they were trying to catch food from the tiger's mouth.
However, in the area near the inner city, the four major households did not dare to do such disasters as robbing villagers.
"Longbow, you stay here too and recover from your internal injuries as soon as possible."
Gong Gou sat in the corner, holding the medicinal soup prepared by Jiang Caiwei. He was silent for a long time before nodding.
In Dongfang, there are still gangsters like Heifu. Whether it's light or dark, it probably won't be a big problem.
"Xu, Xu Lang, Xia Shuang has something to say."
Just after Xu Mu finished giving his instructions, Jiang Caiwei hurried over with her maid Xia Shuang.
Xia Shuang blushed and hesitated for a long time, unable to speak.
"Xu Lang, Nujia and Xia Shuang want to go with them." In the end, it was Jiang Caiwei who spoke out.
"Follow...for what?"
"Xia Shuang wants to drop by Chengcheng to see her husband."
"Youwencai?"
Xu Mu was stunned for a moment before he remembered such a person.
"I bought some good melons earlier and dried some dried melons... He likes to eat this. Boss, I will go to the academy to meet him and come back after giving him the dried melons and clothes, so as not to delay his studies."
Xu Mu sighed in his heart.
He didn't think that only Juventus would study well in the academy. Maybe he would be drinking and drinking in some Qingguan restaurant in Chengcheng.
"Really going?"
"Master, I want to go."
"Then go, Caiwei, and you will go with us."
"Thank you Xu Lang!"
The two miserable women were extremely happy for a moment.
"Si Hu, go hitch the car."
…
Not long after, a speeding carriage rolled through the smoke and drove out from the east city gate under the early morning sunlight.
In order to prevent the little assassin's tricks, Xu Mu learned the lesson this time and put a wooden partition on the carriage window.
Unless the little assassin blocks the way and intercepts him, he will have a chance.
But along the way, they not only took Si Hu with them, but also Zhou Zun and two other young men, all of whom were riding strong horses, carrying long spears and iron bows, and faintly carrying Xiao Sha.
The wheels rolled across the flat official road very fast.
Far behind, Black Swallow on horseback swallowed two mouthfuls of smoke and looked a little aggrieved.
"After eighteen years of fame, I just want to kill a small boss. Why is it so difficult?"
"Do you recognize me? Muyunzhou Black Swallow!"
The official road is like a winding snake mark, extending between the green forest and the mountain.
Sitting in the carriage, Xu Mu sneezed for no reason, prompting Jiang Caiwei to hurriedly hand over a handkerchief.
"It's okay. I guess the thief is worried about you."
After rubbing his nose, Xu Mu raised his head, looked at Xia Shuang in front of him, and thought it would be better to get a vaccination.
He doesn't expect that bitch from Juventus to have any "a bad wife, you can't abandon it" plot.
"Xia Shuang, if you go to Chengcheng this time, no matter what, you are from Xujiazhuang."
"What does this mean, Master?"
Xia Shuang raised her head in shock, and Jiang Caiwei beside her was also a little confused.
Xu Muchan laughed, "I heard that Chengcheng is prosperous, I'm afraid Brother You might be confused."
"My boss, my husband is not like that. He studies hard every day." Xia Shuang listened, her face tense for a moment.
Studying hard day after day, holding that erotic manuscript.
"My husband said that he has a chance this year. If he wins, he will go to the official office to serve as an official. He will be promoted to a big official in one year and to a government official in three years."
Xu Mu sighed, "Did he also say that the monthly official salary will be a lot."
"How does my boss know? My husband said I have thirty taels of silver per month."
Thirty taels?
An old official from Wangzhou had been a big official all his life, and his monthly salary was only eight coins.
What a big tongue.
"My boss, my husband will have a chance this year."
Xu Mu nodded with difficulty, knowing in his heart that the little maid Xia Shuang in front of him was probably unable to persuade him.
But Xia Shuang must take this journey.
Just like Jiang Caiwei, the little maidservant's wife, she took a hard job and entered Wangzhou City alone. In these troubled times, meeting a good person is like finding a needle in a haystack.
