[Chapter 24 The Firewood and Silver Distributors]

, .

In winter, in the territory of Hebei East Road, the bark and vegetation have been dug out because of the previous experience of refugees, which makes it even more desolate and dilapidated.

But anyway, there is no previous panic, the road is bustling, noisy and lively.

In a small town not far from Daming House, people from far and near the temple fair came here to sell and buy winter firewood, rice, oil, salt, and various mountain goods.

“It’s not a good business.”

“It’s not easy these days.”

“Yeah, there was a war.”

Several firewood workers squatting at the gate of the city chatted with each other while waiting for business with their hands in their hands.

A man in his thirties was very silent among them.

“This guy has a lot of firewood.” Someone took the initiative to chat.

The man hummed, looking shy.

“I haven’t seen it before, brother.” Another stickman asked curiously.

This town does not fight, and the firewood sellers are always this group of people who come and go, and they all have some familiarity.

“Oh, it’s my first time here,” said the faceless man.

The people on both sides laughed, and they all had familiar accents from the same place.

“Weidian?” the previous person asked.

The face-to-face man nodded.

“You have too much firewood.” The person next to him pointed out enthusiastically, “You shouldn’t fight so much, it’s even more worthless when it’s wet.”

“However, maybe, I heard people say that a lot of firewood has been collected recently.” Another person said, “Deshengchang of Daming House.”

It was a rich family, and everyone was curious now.

“What do people like Deshengchang need so much wood for?”

“In addition to cooking, they don’t burn wood, they all use charcoal.”

It is unimaginable for the rich people to live a life of hardship and hunger.

“It’s funny to say it,” the man said, motioning for everyone to gather together.

The man from Weidian also squeezed over with a bit of curiosity.

“Did you hear that Deshengchang is in the branch?”

Some people have heard of it, some people don’t know, after all, for them, they never have the opportunity to deal with the bank in their entire life.

The man briefly recounted the matter.

“So now the two young ladies are sharing the ticket numbers of the Daming Mansion with the young master’s people. They are both seasoned veterans, each one is shrewd, and the young master Fang deliberately bought Chai Lai in order to make them get out of the way quickly. Burning the fire to keep warm, the whole house is smoldering, and one person coughs non-stop in it, it’s almost dead laughing.”

This is really funny.

“It’s so embarrassing.”

“What do you know, brothers and sisters settle accounts, these rich people are the most clear.”

Everyone laughed and talked until the sound of hooves stopped beside them.

“Hey, how much firewood do you have here? I want it all.” At the same time, a arrogant male voice asked.

No, is it really…

The firewood hunters looked over in disbelief.

“But I have to send it farther, to Deshengchang in Daming Mansion.” The man said, “Of course, I will give you the money for sending firewood alone.”

Sure enough, it was Deshengchang, who had good luck. The firewood collectors suddenly boiled over, and they hurriedly packed their firewood while answering in a hurry.

The Daming Mansion is much more closely guarded than before, and Deshengchang, the steward who was able to drive straight in at the Daming Mansion, had to be interrogated. These firewoodmen were no exception, and Chaidu was also stabbed with a long spear.

“Isn’t it not going to fight? Why is it so strict?” The woodman couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.

“You don’t know yet.” The people who were inspected next to him whispered, “The public conspiracy of Chengguo has absconded in fear of crime, and now they are arresting their family.”

Cheng Guogong’s name was well known to everyone, and the firewood players suddenly widened their eyes.

“How could Duke Cheng rebel?” they blurted out.

The surrounding people waved to them in fright.

“Damn, do you want to be arrested as your comrades?” they whispered.

The wood-pickers kept silent and did not dare to speak aloud, and looked terrified.

“But how could Duke Cheng rebel?” Someone couldn’t help but whisper.

This is not an inquiry, this is a denial.

This remark made everyone silent for a moment. To the people of the Northland, Duke Cheng Guogong was a god-like existence.

“How do we know about the above.” Someone sighed in a low voice.

“Okay, don’t talk about it, let’s go to the city.” The person behind urged, “Take care of your own business.”

These are the little people who have risen to the top, and it is difficult to live on their own, so how can they manage these major events.

The sadness at the gate of the city quickly dissipated when he saw the three characters of Deshengchang.

“I said from Weidian, you are lucky to get rich this time.” Someone said, looking at the man with the highest pyre in the group.

The man smiled shyly, and although he didn’t say anything, his eyes shone brightly.

“Where are you from?” De Shengchang’s steward asked casually while watching them file the firewood with their backs.

The firewood men answered one by one, and when it was the man’s turn, the man gave Deshengchang one more look.

“Weidian,” he said, after a pause, “my wife’s house is from Runan.”

Country people will not speak when they are nervous, but there are also those who talk a lot when they are nervous. The person in charge was not surprised that this man reported his daughter-in-law wherever he was, he just sighed.

The man lowered his head and carried the pyre on his back to go in, but the steward raised his head again.

“You have a lot of firewood.” He looked at it, “You have a lot of strength.”

Man swears.

The steward pointed inwardly.

“Exactly, there’s a lot of firewood in it, you go and help Kang enter the house.” He said, “I’ll give you additional wages.”

It was a really good job. The other firefighters looked at the man with envy, and the man thanked him and followed a guy to the inner courtyard.

The yard was really smoky, and the backyard was a little better. An old man in a brocade robe was sitting on the porch drinking tea.

“It’s still quiet here, I’m about to be smoked to death, and these guys can’t even carry it away.” He complained to the little servant standing in front of him, “Go to sell firewood, burn it, and burn it fiercely.”

The servant smiled and replied, the old man took a sip of tea and saw the man walking in.

“Master Zhou asked him to come in to carry firewood.” The man introduced.

The old man looked at the man.

The man lowered his head a little nervously.

“Does the old man like to play chess?” he said suddenly, gritted his teeth.

Is this a no-brainer?

Guys are a little funny.

The old man also laughed.

“You countryman can still play chess?” he asked, pausing for a moment. “Have you heard of pig chess?”

What kind of chess piece is pig chess?

The guys laughed again, what kind of pig chess is there in the world, the old shopkeeper is teasing the country people.

“I heard it.” The man raised his head and said seriously, “My daughter-in-law’s family is from Runan.”

Really?

The guys were a little surprised, and the old shopkeeper laughed.

“It’s not bad, it’s really a game over there.” He said, waving his hand, “Go, go, work.”

The man walked away.

“Work hard, this money will reward you for drinking and eating.” The old shopkeeper stopped him again, and took off the purse from his waist and threw it away.

The purse fell at the man’s feet. He was obviously too frightened to take it, so a guy picked it up and stuffed it for him.

“Our shopkeeper’s mind, don’t take it politely.” He said indifferently.

For a firewood hunter, a bag of broken silver is a lot, but for the old shopkeeper in Deshengchang, it is like fine sand.

The man thanked him again and again, and his simple and honest face could not hide the smile, which continued until he left Deshengchang.

The fellow stickman looked at the heavy purse hanging from his waist and was very envious.

He made the most money this time, but he couldn’t help others.

The inspection at the gate of the city is still very strict, and they are not spared when they go out of the city. They carefully checked one by one. Except for the money, these people did not bring anything else out. There is no problem with the money, after all, it is sold for firewood.

The guards quickly waved their hands to let them pass.

The man didn’t go very far with these wood-beaters. He said he wanted to visit a relative and left. Even if they met by chance, everyone didn’t think they would go away.

The man walked along the road with his head sullen, until the twilight was dark, and he entered a village and went straight into a yard.

The house was lit with lights, and there was the sound of a woman weaving cloth, which was as quiet and peaceful as all the households in the village.

The man pushed the door and entered the house. There were more than a dozen people in the small house or at the cargo station, and the door was closed.

“Brother, I got it.” The man looked at one of the bearded men with his head down and said excitedly, holding up the purse.

The bearded man raised his head, his face was a little old, but his eyes were young and bright.

“Really?” he asked.

“Yeah, De Shengchang’s propaganda for firewood is really waiting for you, eldest brother.” The man said excitedly, “Everything you asked me to say is right, it’s just like what you said.”

That is, it is not nonsense to talk about it.

A smile spread on the face of the bearded man, he reached out and removed his beard, revealing Zhu Zan’s face, bright and bright.

“Is it her arrangement?” he asked.

The man shook his head.

“No one was mentioned, and I don’t know if this was arranged by Miss Jun.” He whispered.

The smile on Zhu Zan’s face dimmed, but he nodded again.

“That kid is very clever.” He said to himself, “But she is still amazing. If it wasn’t for her, that kid would definitely have caught me and exchanged money.”

That’s right, the little bunny surnamed Fang would definitely do this, he was a ruthless person.

He was silent for a moment, no news is good news, he cheered up and stretched out his hand.

The silver in the purse was poured on the table, and several men held the broken silver with their hands. After a while, many pieces of silver were cracked open, and it turned out to be hollow silver, but everyone was not deceived and angry. A small piece of paper was pulled out of it.

You can see the place names and directions written on it by the lights.

The notes were placed on the table one by one, and there were a dozen or so densely packed.

Zhu Zan stood at the table, stroked the notes one by one with his fingers, and then raised his hand.

“Go, pick up the money.” He said, picked up one of them, and went straight out.

The rest of the men, like him, each picked up a file and left the room and disappeared into the night.

When the sky was bright, there were several vehicles and horses approaching from the gates of the four sides of Daming Mansion.

Seeing the sign of Deshengchang on the car, the guards opened the city gate without any doubts, and they laughed a little bit.

“Finally I can’t bear to be smoked away?” A city guard laughed.

The steward headed by Deshengchang smiled and shook his head.

“I can’t take it anymore,” he said. “That’s about it.”

The fortress shook his head.

“The richer people are, the more fussy they are,” he said.

The steward stepped forward and handed him a heavy bag of silver, which the city guard took it without hesitation.

“However, the investigation has to be investigated.” He said solemnly.

The steward smiled and stepped aside.

“That’s natural. Your lord, you’ve checked and we’re innocent. It’s convenient to travel and do things,” he said.

The general waved his hand, and the waiting soldiers stepped forward with their swords and guns. Several cars were opened, revealing the white silver bricks placed inside them. Seeing everyone dizzy, they endured the dazzling and stabbed the swords and guns in the silver bricks.

It was so full, let alone the Tibetans, that even the flies could not be stuffed, the officer waved his hand impatiently, and the soldiers put away their weapons and returned.

“Let’s go,” said the general.

The steward smiled and thanked him before jumping into the carriage.

“Come on, send the money,” he said loudly.

The general watched the carriage drive out of the city gate heavily and shook his head and sneered.

“I’m so happy to send money.” He said, ignoring it, and patrolling inside and outside the city gate solemnly and vigilantly.
