Hua Ye did not faint. Seeing Xu Zizhen squatting next to him, his face turned pale with shock. He was about to struggle to get up when he heard a shout: "What's going on? What are you doing here?"
Everyone looked back and saw a team of police officers patrolling the city. They were walking over majestically with steel knives and fast boots. The leader was a big man with a beard on his face, but it was Captain Lei.
As one of the tyrants in Suzhou City, Hua Ye naturally knows Lei Captou and has dealt with him countless times. It’s just that Lei Captou is inexperienced and very difficult to deal with. Every time something happens to Mr. Hua’s people, he will fall into trouble.
He never got anything good in his hands, and Capt. Lei tried to bring Mr. Hua to justice more than once, but Mr. Hua was as slippery as a fish, and he got away every time.
Mr. Hua's black face turned awkward. No matter how well he managed, he could not fight against the officials. He was really unlucky today. He couldn't run away even if he wanted to.
Mr. Lei walked over quickly, glanced at Xu Zizhen, but pretended he didn't know him, and looked at Mr. Hua with disdain, saying coldly: "Hua Zhenhong, it's you again? You have no reason to say this time, right? Let's go.
Go back to the Yamen with me and explain." As he spoke, he took off an iron chain from his waist and put it around Hua Ye's neck.
"Hey, Master, wait a minute." Xu Zizhen suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Excuse me, why do you want to lock him up?"
Mr. Lei was stunned. He didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd. He raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "What? I can't catch him?"
Xu Zizhen said cheerfully: "Catch it, catch it, it's just that we guys just sparred here a few times. It's because I didn't do it lightly, and that's why everyone in this place was upset. If it affects the city's sightseeing, I admit it."
, but locking people up is out of the question, right?"
After saying this, not only Lei Captou was surprised, but even Hua Ye was also greatly surprised. The onlookers were also baffled. The busking girl took a step forward and was about to speak when she saw Xu Zizhen winking at her. Although she didn't understand
What do you mean, but you still kept your mouth shut.
"Sparring?" Captain Lei looked at the rogue lying on the floor, frowned, and suddenly snorted coldly, "Next time we want to compete, don't make so much noise." After saying that, he waved his hand and led his agents.
Turn around and leave.
"It's over, it's over. Why are you making such a fool of yourself while others are arguing?" Jin Yuxi followed behind Lei Captou and dispersed the crowd of onlookers. Before leaving, he secretly winked at Xu Zizhen.
Soon the crowd dispersed, leaving only the dumbfounded Mr. Hua, the trio of buskers who couldn't figure out the situation, and Qian Tongzhi, who was speechless.
Hua Ye finally struggled to get up. Most of his younger brothers had already run away, and now only a few of them stayed with him, and all of them were too scared to run.
"Brother, what do you really want?"
Xu Zizhen smiled slightly: "Master Hua, I heard that you are doing well here. I have no other intentions. I just have this opportunity today and I just want to make friends with you."
If he couldn't beat him, Hua Ye would have cursed people a long time ago. What's the way to make friends? Beat me and my people up first? But Hua Ye is also a figure who has been in the world for many years. He knows that a good man will not suffer the immediate consequences, so he said forcefully
: "It's a blessing for me to have friends like my brother. I wonder what I call my brother?"
Xu Zizhen helped him up with a smile and patted the dust on his body: "My little brother Xu Zizhen, I have just come to Suzhou, and I have some troubles that I would like to ask Mr. Hua for help... Let's do this. Please go back first and apply the medicine that needs to be applied.
I’ll come back and have a chat with you later.”
Hua Ye was even more depressed for a while, but he didn't know what Xu Zizhen wanted to do. He didn't believe that this dragon crossing the river beat him like this just to ask for his help, but now he had to endure it and agreed: "Okay, Brother Xu
Go and get busy first, then come back and find me at Panmen Jixiang Casino."
Several gangsters and flower masters helped each other away, and then the middle-aged entertainer came over, clasped his hands in his fists and said, "Thank you, strong man, for drawing your sword and helping me."
Xu Zizhen smiled: "You're welcome."
The older girl and the young man followed behind, with somewhat uncomfortable expressions on their faces. Xu Zizhen knew that they were dissatisfied with him for letting Master Hua go. He didn't bother to explain. He nodded with the middle-aged man and turned around to walk to Qian Tongzhi.
beside.
Qian Tongzhi was already dumbfounded. He only knew that Xu Zizhen was good at writing, but he didn't expect that his skills were so fierce. He could kick someone ten meters away with one kick. I'm afraid even Lei Captou didn't have such skill.
Xu Zizhen lifted his chin up, closed his mouth for him, turned around and left without saying anything. Qian Tongzhi finally came to his senses and sped up to follow him, and the two of them disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.
"Dad, why don't you ask him why he let those rogues go?" the eldest girl asked, feeling a little angry.
The middle-aged man's eyes were deep and he said in a deep voice: "This young man is agile, but he is also calm and experienced. I'm afraid he has other plans when he lets those rogues go."
The eldest girl opened her mouth and wanted to say something more, but she still held back. There was just a trace of anger in her eyes. This person didn't even know to tell his name before leaving...
Xu Zizhen actually wanted to strike up a conversation with the eldest girl and tell her her name, but he was still thinking about the strength Rong Xi lent him, so he hurriedly left to find her to find out and see if he could do anything in the future.
I often ask her for help.
It's just that Rong Xi left at some point. Xu Zizhen walked around a few times and saw no one, so he gave up the idea angrily. There was no way to continue wandering around aimlessly, so he and Qian Tongzhi first looked for him.
After eating randomly at a small restaurant, I found an excuse to go to Changmen alone.
As expected, the business in Xie Fuchun's store was deserted. It was just after noon, which was supposed to be a good time for business, but there were only two or three female customers in the store choosing rouge.
Mo Xie was in the store. She was stunned when she saw a male customer coming to the door. When she saw that it was Xu Zizhen, she couldn't help but smile. The "Mother" she heard yesterday was so vivid in her memory.
"Hey, where is Auntie?" Xu Zizhen greeted quickly with a smile.
Mr. Mo Xie stood up and came forward to greet her. She also smiled and said, "Master Xu, are you here to look for Li'er? Please wait a moment. I'll call her right away."
Xu Zizhen stopped her with a smile: "Auntie, I'm here to see you today."
"Looking for me?" Mo Xie was slightly surprised.
Xu Zizhen took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, which was his masterpiece last night - mascara.
Mo Xie took it in confusion, opened it, looked at it, and smelled it: "What is this?"
"This is……"
Xu Zizhen was about to explain, but he saw Mo Lier coming out from the back of the hall. She looked up and saw him, and said in surprise: "Brother Xu, are you coming to see me?"
"Hey, Li'er came just in time." Xu Zizhen didn't care that Mo Xie was right next to him. He took Mo Li'er's little hand and said, "It's a new thing, let's try it."
Mo Li'er's face suddenly turned red, and she secretly glanced at her mother, but she still meekly allowed herself to be manipulated by Xu Zizhen. Seeing this, Mo Xie could only sigh helplessly.
Although the mascara brush was a bit rough, Xu Zizhen was able to use it more skillfully after giving Rong Xi the training last night, and carefully applied Li'er's makeup to the bright areas.
After a while, he put the porcelain vase away, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Li'er, show it to Auntie."
Mo Lier only felt that Xu Zizhen was playing with something on her eyelids, but she couldn't see it. After hearing what Xu Zizhen said, she quickly turned to look at her mother.
"ah!"
A series of exclamations sounded out, including Mrs. Mo Xie, Sister Wu and Sister Sun, as well as the female guest who was originally choosing rouge. They were all stunned and looked at Mo Lier blankly.
Mo Lier didn't know why, so she quickly ran to the counter, where a bright mirror was set up.
"Ah!" Even she herself was shocked at this time. She was originally a beauty with bright eyes and white teeth. Although her eyes were a little less energetic than Rong Xi's, they were almost the same, but now she saw herself in the mirror with eyelashes.
Slightly upturned, long and dense, looking extremely charming.
Xu Zizhen chuckled: "Li'er, do you think you've become beautiful again?"
Mo Lier was surprised and delighted: "Brother Xu, what... is this?"
Xu Zizhen proudly waved the small porcelain bottle: "This is called mascara. As long as you apply it a few times, your eyelashes will become thicker, longer and slightly curved, and your eyes will naturally look bigger and brighter. This is exclusive
I am the only one in the world who has the recipe.”
Before Mo Li'er could say anything, the female guests who were watching had already gathered around. They didn't care that Xu Zizhen was a man. They all wanted to see the new thing in his hand and asked if they could part with it and sell it.
One bottle and two bottles.
How could Xu Zizhen refuse to sell? This is the purpose of his coming here today, but it is not a good time to open today. Mascara is easy to make, but eyelash brushes are too difficult for a man like him, so he made a plan in his mind early in the morning.
"Slow down, take your time, this mascara will be officially on the shelves at Xie Fuchun in three days. Let me first state that this is the only one. If you are interested, you might as well come early, because... Hehe, the production of this product is extremely complicated.
So there’s not a lot of inventory.”
There is no woman in the world who doesn't love beauty. After seeing the magic power of mascara, those female guests couldn't help themselves. They immediately pestered Xu Zizhen and insisted that he go to the counter in advance. Xu Zizhen was forced to have no choice but to finally agree.
On sale tomorrow at noon.
Several female guests left full of longing, and before leaving, they did not forget to remind Mo Xie that they would sell the goods on time tomorrow. Xu Zizhen sent them out with a smile, but when he turned around, he saw Mo Xie's eyes twinkling slightly.
