He scolded Zhili and told him to "go away". After scolding him, he turned around and went upstairs without stopping.

He was confused as to who he had offended.

The brazier in Xizhou Mansion doesn't seem to be enough, maybe we have to cross a volcano.

Zhili shook his head and walked towards his original position.

I slowly sipped tea and continued to listen to the story for a while. About half an hour later, footsteps came from the stairs on the side.

As Zhi Li got closer, he saw the fierce man coming downstairs with red eyes, disheveled and in a state of embarrassment.

Five steps behind him was the man from the northwest who had just tipped.

After walking a few steps, the fierce man turned around and asked the northwest man: "You really can't control this matter?"

"I can't control it," the man from the northwest replied.

"It's up to you to take care of it." The fierce man was not fierce at all now, "My family only has such a small amount of property, no matter how hard it is, I don't want to lose..."

He stopped and didn't say any more.

"Let's go, go quickly," said the man from the northwest.

"Will you accept half the price?" the fierce man begged, "take it away, half the price will be accepted!"

"You'd better go!"

The fierce man blinked and tears rolled down his face.

Not wanting to be seen, he hid behind a beam.

From this angle, only half of the shadow can be seen.

The man from the northwest looked impatient and turned around to leave.

But when he heard a "pop", the crying man knelt down and said: "Brother, go and talk to the branch man. One-third is fine, or the price is three times lower. You can take it!"

The big man from the northwest looked at him, waved his hand, and left.

The man cried and cried, raised his hand and slapped himself, leaned his back against the beam, and held his head in his hands.

At this moment, the storyteller, not knowing what he was talking about, clapped his hands with his ruler, and the whole audience cheered.

After crying for about half a cup of tea, the man got up, straightened his hair and clothes, and then came out from behind the pillar after he could see clearly.

As soon as he looked up, the man saw bright and bright eyes.

The man frowned: "What are you looking at? What is there to see!"

Feeling dissatisfied, he put the teacup in his hand on the table: "You feel miserable in your heart, so you can get angry at others at will. Who is spoiling you?"

"Are you looking for a fight? I'll beat you to death, do you believe it?" The man pointed his finger.

"If you can't kill me, what will you do?"

"What do I do? I go to the street and imitate the barking of dogs, and crawl from the street to the end of the street!"

Zili sneered: "Whether you like to crawl or not, I don't care about you."

Master's teachings are for self-protection and world-building, and may also be for the sake of seeing injustice on the road, but they are never for the purpose of showing off evil and fighting.

This kind of battle of spirits is extremely boring.

Zhili looked away and continued drinking tea. The man stared at him for a while and walked away.

The shopkeeper heard what the waiter said and rushed over immediately, just in time to see the man leaving.

"Young Master, did he scold you?" the shopkeeper asked hurriedly.

"No, who is this person?"

"The son of a rice merchant in our county is called Mao Zilong. I heard that something happened to the Mao family these days, but I can't find out the details. He is now looking for the branch master. It may be related to the incident at home."

"Okay," Zhili said, "but it seems that Master Zhi doesn't care about him."

"Master Zhi made his fortune from war, and he is not the immortals who rescued the suffering people behind the Changsheng Menxiang case. It would be strange if he took charge of it. Young Master, businessmen value profits over righteousness. Don't think of him as a lavish spender.

It’s a penny tip every time I give him. After all, he is a person who enjoys war dividends, so you should avoid dealing with him.”

Zhili nodded his head: "Okay."

The shopkeeper saw that there was nothing wrong, so he continued to work.

At night, the only inn in Zhujiagou Village, thirty miles southwest of Mingtai County, had its best business day ever.

From yesterday afternoon to now, several groups of people have arrived to check in.

By tonight, the inn had not enough room for this group of people. The owner did not want to give up the business, so he vacated both rooms for his son and daughter.

This last group of people is none other than Xia Zhaoyi.

Along with her, in addition to Yang Fugui and Li Man, there were also Zhan Ning, Shi Guoxin, Chen Dingshan and Xia Songyue.

The latter four were among the ten scouts who accompanied her to Shoushi.

Compared with Xia Jiajun, Xia Zhaoyi's manpower was greatly reduced this time, but in the eyes of the innkeeper, he was very powerful.

This road from Zhujiagou Village can go directly to Mingtai County without passing through Xizhou Prefecture.

It's just that few people know about this road. Many people in Xizhou and even locals in Zhujiagou Village don't know it.

Xia Zhaoyi chose this road, thinking that there would be no one there, but she didn't expect that there were other guests in the inn.

However, one of the two residents she specially ordered to come here is the Su family brother and sister who checked in yesterday.

Zuilu's lawsuit went extremely smoothly. Su Yumei helped the refugees get their wages, and the village where Ji Xiahe worked was also sued by Su Yumei.

She thought about the method of forcing her for a long time. She went directly to the Ji family and told them that they had harmed the Guo family. If it hadn't been for them, the Guo family would not have completely offended Song Zhiyi, nor would they have been attacked by the Qiu Yu camp, resulting in so many deaths.

People from the Guo family will never quarrel with Shen Lie.

She repeatedly emphasized that if this lawsuit becomes serious, regardless of whether the Guo family will come forward or not, the Guo family's reputation will be further tarnished in Zuilu.

When the time comes, what will the Ji family have to pay back?

It was just a Zhuangzi, and the Ji family couldn't afford it. In the end, they gave up the wages and Zhuangzi in a serious manner to calm the matter.

Now, those refugees live in that village and eat with their own hands.

The lawsuit was successfully concluded, and there happened to be a raging war in eastern Huazhou. Xia Zhaoyi sent someone to deliver a letter to her, letting her choose where to go.

Should we go to find the main force of the Xia family army, go north to Youzhou to find Mr. Qi, or go to Mingtai County in Xizhou.

If she goes to Mingtai County in Xizhou, she will wait for her in Zhujiagou Village. The letter also includes several exquisitely drawn small maps.

Su Yumei finally chose to come to Mingtai County, Xizhou, because she found that by following this girl, she seemed to be able to do more meaningful things and trigger more opportunities.

Su Heng, on the other hand, didn't really want to come.

Su Yumei didn't ask why. She didn't want to come if she didn't want to. The brother and sister just separated. Su Heng finally followed.

Now, as soon as Xia Zhaoyi entered the inn, Su Yumei happily went downstairs to greet her.

The two girls were sitting by the window in the lobby downstairs of the inn, talking and laughing about what they had seen and heard in those days.

Su Yumei was extremely happy when she saw the little fat girl. She raised her hand to touch it: "It's so cute!"

The little fat boy was "well-informed" in the military camp. He was not afraid of strangers and was not aggressive at all. He enjoyed Su Yumei's head touches very much.

The innkeeper specially mixed the fish with gruel and brought it to the little fat boy.

The little fat boy happily jumped to the ground, gobbled it up, and huffed and puffed.
