Guanfangqian Street is full of people coming and going. Not long after, they had formed a circle. Even though several officials scolded them four or five times, they still could not disperse the crowd.
Xu Mu sat calmly on the pony and waited quietly. If the four major households are not stupid, this matter will definitely have to be dealt with.
A guard broke away from the clue and was about to turn around and run away. However, Si Hu slapped him down with an angry palm and grabbed him back again.
Even the official did not dare to say a word after seeing this scene. The reputation of the Seven Border Heroes penetrated deep into the skin at this moment.
"My boss, we're here." Chen Sheng, who had been observing, walked back Shen Shen.
Xu Mu sneered. As he expected, the four major households would naturally send people over to deal with the aftermath.
The carriage pushed away the crowd, and Lu Zizhong slowly got out of the carriage with a serious look on his face. Seven or eight Lu family guards stood guard in front and behind with fearful expressions on their faces.
The official walked over to make fun of him and flattered him.
Lu Zizhong raised his head, took out a banknote from his arms, and coldly handed it to the official. It was obvious that he had no intention of dealing with Xu Mu.
If the four old ghosts hadn't spoken, how could he have humiliated himself at this time?
The official took the banknote and glanced at the amount, his face became increasingly unhappy. Washing the floor for a long time is not as good as putting on a show.
Xu Mu sat on the horse and had no intention of accepting the banknote. Instead, he turned around and shouted coldly.
"Si Hu, put the people in the car and go to Changyang General Office later."
"Brother Mu, I understand."
Several guards from the four major families were so frightened that they howled. If he went to the chief office in Changyang and was forced to confess, he would probably have his skin peeled off.
Lu Zizhong had a sullen face, snorted coldly, and finally snatched the banknote from the official's hand and walked forward coldly.
"My little boss, we don't know each other without fighting, so don't go too far."
No acquaintance without fighting? If Si Hu and the others weren't strong enough, his body would probably be cold by now.
The people surrounding him all had strange looks on their faces. In my impression, I have never seen such a conciliatory style of the Lu family.
"As you wish, two thousand taels."
Xu Mu didn't move, still sitting firmly on the pony.
Lu Zizhong pinched the banknote and laughed in anger. This time, he finally understood the meaning of this little Mazha.
If he had not bent down and lowered his head, Xu Mu would not have picked it up.
In the huge front street of Guanfang, there were countless people watching. At this time, many people began to whisper.
Lu Zizhong lowered his hands, raised his head and laughed. The sharp laughter shocked many people around and retreated one after another.
Xu Mu remained motionless.
He wanted to smash the faces of the four major households in front of the entire Tangjiang City.
"You said before that if I was brave enough, I would not leave Tangjiang."
"I'm staying."
Xu Mu spoke in a solemn voice, saying that the enmity between him and the four major households was destined to end. They were all blocked and killed under curfew, and they had to endure hardships to survive.
Lu Zizhong stood in front of him, his face already full of anger.
"Si Hu, count to three. After three, we will leave for Changyang immediately."
Si Hu smiled and shouted "three" angrily.
"Little boss, where do you get the confidence?" Lu Zizhong stood solemnly. In Tangjiang City for more than a hundred years, there were only three people who dared to fish for food from the tiger's mouth.
Without exception, they all died miserably.
"two."
Lu Zizhong was trembling slightly, holding two thousand taels of silver notes in his hands, his face turned pale from holding back.
"one."
"Hahaha! Okay, my little boss is pretty good!"
In front of the onlookers, Lu Zizhong smiled evilly and bent down, making a bow with his long bow, and held the two thousand taels of silver notes flat in front of Xu Mu.
"Master Lu, do you know your mistake?"
"I know I was wrong." Lu Zizhong said in a cold voice.
"You're in your twenties, it's time to learn some etiquette. Next time you mess around, I'll break a willow branch and slap you."
The people around him, including several officials, were all stunned. In normal times, who would dare to speak like this to Mr. Lu.
However, the owner of Xiaodukou dared to do so. But unfortunately, Mr. Lu, who has always had a higher level of vision, did not have any objection.
Stretching and getting up, Xu Mu picked up the little horse. Without even looking at Lu Zizhong, Xu Mu turned around and got into the carriage.
The carriage left the street and moved forward leisurely.
Lu Zizhong, who had been motionless for a long time, raised his head and his face became hateful.
…
The eighteenth year of Xingwu in the Epoch Times, May 23rd. The fourth heavy rain fell in Tangjiang City, soaking the river next to Zhuangzi and covering five sections of the monument line.
"Master, the cellar is soaked!"
Xu Mu's face darkened for a moment. Although it was convenient to get water near the river, he would be the first to bear the brunt of any flood disaster.
"Quickly, move all the distillation equipment to the roof above."
A group of people braved the wind and rain without bothering to put on their raincoats and hurriedly moved all the items in the cellar to a dry room.
"My boss, two more rooms have collapsed..."
"Move, get everything out."
Areas along the river are often the most uncomfortable during heavy rains. When all the things were moved, Xu Mu was so tired that he collapsed on the wooden board.
Beside him, plus the stickmen who came from behind, there were a dozen young and strong men, all of whom were breathing heavily.
"Master, this is going to be a flood."
Xu Mu propped himself up, stood under the shed, and looked towards the river in front of him. He didn't know when it started. Not only were there beddings, pots and pans, frightened livestock, and broken wooden sheds... they were all flowing towards the river along with the turbulence of the river. It flows forward.
A half-year-old child accidentally fell into the river and was tied up with hemp ropes by several people. He was finally pulled out.
"Brothers, please be careful these days." Xu Mu spoke solemnly. If this fell into the river, it might be swept into the Ji River below.
"Chen Sheng, go tie a few more stakes to the four-oared boat."
"Master, in a few days, it will be the Moonlight Liquor Market. Will there be any problem with such rain, right?"
How could there be no problem? If the heavy rain continues like this, the official roads outside the city may be flooded.
Fortunately, I had received a batch of orders earlier. Things happen for a reason. At worst, we have to wait a few more days for the restaurant owners to come and pick up the goods.
The previous curfew and killing incident had just ended, Xu Mu was sure that at least for a month or two, the four major households would not dare to cause too much trouble for the time being.
In this world, people who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. On the contrary, those who wear shoes sometimes worry too much.
"My boss! My boss!"
At this time, Chen Sheng's voice sounded outside.
Xu Mu was startled, and he hurriedly got up with the young men next to him, ran over in a few steps, and reached the wet wooden bridge.
Immediately, the scene in front of them shocked everyone present.
A water net that was previously hung under the wooden plank bridge was originally used to filter the distiller's grains. At this time, it was densely packed with hundreds of big fish. The entire network was so stretched that it was about to burst open.
"Dong, my boss, this is a common fish!"
"The bastard fish is the messenger of the river mother, so you can't eat it!"
Several stickmen who had lived in Tangjiang for a long time spoke in a hurry.
Xu Mu felt a little funny in his heart. According to the knowledge from his previous life, this was just a blind fish surviving in a cave in the river, not a river mother messenger.
Furthermore, this kind of blind fish... is actually very delicious.
"Si Hu, bring this person up! I'm looking forward to a good meal today!"
The monster brother roared loudly, and with one hand and the net in the other, he grabbed hundreds of big fish, including the fish and the net, while everyone was stunned.
