Hu Xiaotian put on airs and said: "Serving as an official will bring benefits to one party. I came to Qingyun to do good things for the people."
Song Shaofu complimented again: "Your Excellency, coming to Qingyun is really a blessing to Qingyun and a blessing to the people."
The flattery was so comfortable that Hu Xiaotian smiled and took advantage of it. He took the tea from Liu Kuohai, took a sip and said, "Does Shopkeeper Song have any suggestions?"
Song Shaofu said: "The younger ones will be the first to support the affairs organized by the adults. I have a preliminary idea. I will gather the people. Then we will open twenty tables in Hongyan Tower. All the food and drink expenses will be borne by me. Even if
It’s me who contributes to Qingyun.”
Hu Xiaotian secretly praised Song Shaofu for his understanding. Wan Boping was right in recommending him to him. He went to gather people and took care of all the food and drinks. This meant that he didn't have to do anything and only had to sit back and enjoy the fruits. It was really good.
Hu Xiaotian was overjoyed and immediately wanted to recruit. This charity sale was regarded as a test for Song Shaofu. If he could complete this matter successfully, he would develop him into his core team in Qingyun in the future.
.
The biggest advantage of Hu Xiaotian is that he is not tyrannical or dictatorial. He has a consciousness that is more advanced than most people in this world. He understands that no matter how strong a person is, his ability is limited. Only by gathering the wisdom of everyone to do things can he get twice the result with half the effort and do it with ease.
.You have not seen that in the five thousand years of Chinese civilization, no matter how wise the emperor is, he cannot escape the word "arbitrary" in the end. Due to consciousness, absolute power means absolute corruption. A truly wise leader is not how capable he is, but how capable he is.
How much ability do you have to mobilize the enthusiasm of others? Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, did a good job in this regard. Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but think that he should be much better than Liu Bang, right? Liu Bang was a country scoundrel, and he was a doctor of medicine. Liu Bang was in trouble.
In the past, the most I could do was to be the head of a pavilion in Sishui, and I started out as the Prime Minister of Jiupin County. Based on this, my future achievements should be greater than Liu Bang's.
He was distracted. Even Song Shaofu saw that this guy was distracted. He thought that Hu Xiaotian was not satisfied with his suggestion just now, so he coughed and said: "I will take out a jar of thirty-year-old osmanthus brewed in my store.
Come to the charity sale.”
Only then did Hu Xiaotian react. He laughed and said, "Of course you have to keep the good wine for yourself. Shopkeeper Song, you have done enough."
Song Shaofu also laughed.
At this moment, Hu Xiaotian realized that Zhou Wenju still hadn't arrived. He couldn't help but become a little anxious. He asked Liu Kuohai to go to the door to take a look. Before Liu Kuohai could reach the door, he heard the sound of carriages and horses outside the door. He laughed and said
: "Here he is, Mr. Zhou must be here."
But contrary to expectations, it was Liang Dazhuang who walked in from the outside. There was no one else around him.
Hu Xiaotian was a little surprised and said: "What's wrong, where is Mr. Zhou?" Seeing that Zhou Wenju did not come with him, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little strange. Although he was hosting tonight, Zhou Wenju proposed the meeting. He must have wanted to ask for advice.
I have medical issues, but I don’t know why I missed my appointment.
Liang Dazhuang said: "I heard from people in Wanfu that Mr. Zhou went out early in the morning and has not returned yet."
Hu Xiaotian was a little confused. Could it be that Zhou Wenju had forgotten this matter? Logically speaking, no. Zhou Wenju was rigorous in his work and did not seem to be such a casual person.
Before the host and guest arrived, Song Shaofu, the unexpected guest, seemed a little embarrassed. He was thinking about whether he should leave. Hu Xiaotian said: "In this case, let's eat and wait." It was already getting late. Zhou Wenju still didn't arrive. , so many people cannot wait endlessly.
Song Shaofu unintentionally acted as a substitute, and several people had a great time drinking that night. The banquet lasted for almost two hours, and Hu Xiaotian got a lot of useful information from Song Shaofu. He found that Song Shaofu was deliberately getting closer to him, and there were also some The meaning of temptation is that the interaction between people is a process of getting to know each other and testing each other.
Hu Xiaotian had just seen off Song Shaofu when someone knocked on the door. He thought it was Zhou Wenju who was here, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Come at this time, the day lilies are already cold."
Liang Dazhuang walked over and opened the door. Standing outside the door was a young man in green clothes. Hu Xiaotian recognized this young man as the medicine boy beside Zhou Wenju. The medicine boy said, "Is Mr. Hu here?"
Liang Dazhuang let him in. The medicine boy came to Hu Xiaotian and bowed deeply: "Master Hu, my husband specially asked me to come to treat you."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Didn't we agree to come over for dinner tonight? Where has Mr. Zhou been?"
The medicine boy said: "That's right, my husband went out for medical treatment today and met a critically ill patient. He hasn't found a solution until now, so he specially asked me to ask Mr. Hu to come and help."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile bitterly. Zhou Wenju would definitely cause trouble for him. It seems that the friendship between the two of them is not at this level. You, the miracle doctor of Xichuan, treat people, why do you have to let me get involved? He was hesitating whether to refuse.
The medicine boy said again: "Master Hu, the patient is a relative of Mr. Zhou's family. Mr. Zhou told me to ask you to come over and help."
After all, Liang Dazhuang had been with Hu Xiaotian for a long time. Seeing the hesitation on Hu Xiaotian's expression, he immediately said: "It's so late today. My adults have to rest. If there is anything, we might as well wait until tomorrow to discuss it."
The medicine boy said urgently: "Human life is at stake, we must not wait until tomorrow." Seeing that Hu Xiaotian still had not decided, he said again: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. The injured are in danger, sir!"
Hu Xiaotian frowned, finally nodded and said, "Okay, if it's not far, I'll go with you."
The medicine boy said: "It's not far, it's in Saint Alley."
Hu Xiaotian whispered: "Sure, I'll go over with you and take a look."
Liang Dazhuang said: "I will go with you."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "That's fine!"
The medicine boy led the way with a lamp in front, and Hu Xiaotian and Liang Dazhuang followed behind. Because he and Song Shaofu had drank a lot just now, their heads were somewhat dizzy. When they came outside, they were greeted by a gust of cool night wind, which made them feel much clearer.
Hu Xiaotian was still not very familiar with the geography of Qingyun County. This was the first time he heard of Sage Alley. He asked the medicine boy: "Where is Sage Alley?"
The medicine boy pointed to the alley not far away and said, "It's just two streets away from where you live."
Hu Xiaotian did not expect that Sage Lane was so close to Sande Lane where he lived. It only took a cup of tea to walk there. He couldn't help but smile and said: "It's actually so close!"
The medicine boy smiled and said, "Yes!" He paused briefly at the entrance of the alley and waited for Hu Xiaotian to follow him before turning into the alley.
It was late at night, and most of the residents in the alleys had gone to sleep. Only one or two houses were still lighting up. Hu Xiaotian suddenly felt that something was strange about this matter. Zhou Wenju was so close to him. Even if he didn't come over for dinner tonight, he should let Yao go. Tong came over and asked, why did he have to wait until now? Is he a little rude when he invited me so kindly? From what he knew, Zhou Wenju's behavior should not be like this. Thinking of this, doubts arose in his heart, and he suddenly stopped.
The medicine boy noticed that there were no footsteps behind him and quickly turned around.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr. Zhou is in here?"
The medicine boy nodded and said, "Yes, that's the house at the end of the alley."
Hu Xiaotian had no intention of moving on and said with a smile: "Then ask Mr. Zhou to come over and see me."
The medicine boy was obviously stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "Mr. Zhou is busy treating people and can't get away. Please take two more steps. It's in front of you."
Hu Xiaotian's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said coldly: "How dare you lie! Do you believe that I will take you down and punish you?"
The medicine boy was frightened by him and trembled obviously. The lantern in his hand unexpectedly dropped. The candle lit the paper lantern and it suddenly burst into flames. The medicine boy said in a trembling voice: "Master Hu... why are you doing this? "
Hu Xiaotian always paid attention to the expression of the drug boy. From his panicked expression to his sudden change of expression when he was scolded by him just now, he realized that there must be something fishy about this matter. He said to Liang Dazhuang: "Dazhuang, let's go back!"
Liang Dazhuang didn't know why Hu Xiaotian suddenly got angry, but he had always obeyed Hu Xiaotian's orders. Since Hu Xiaotian wanted to leave, he had to obey, so he immediately turned around and left with Hu Xiaotian.
When the medicine boy saw that the two people were unwilling to go, he was immediately at a loss and said hurriedly: "Sir, don't leave!"
Hu Xiaotian not only ignored him but also quickened his pace. The drug boy's abnormal behavior made him feel that great danger was approaching him. Suddenly he felt something moving above his head. He hurriedly looked up and saw a large black net falling from above. After coming down, Liang Dazhuang discovered this matter later than Hu Xiaotian. The two of them only paid attention to the movements around them, but ignored the danger from above. They were caught off guard by the big net, and before they could struggle out, they escaped from the wall. Two figures flew up and down, holding the blue steel sword against their bodies. One of them said coldly: "You better be obedient, or I will stab a few transparent holes in your body."
Hu Xiaotian secretly complained in his heart, drinking really caused trouble, why didn't he see through such a low-level scam? If he had discovered that something was wrong earlier, he would not have become a prisoner of others.
The medicine boy stood there, obviously frightened. He said in a trembling voice: "I...I brought the person...don't hurt my husband."
When Hu Xiaotian heard what he said, he really couldn't laugh or cry. He dared to believe that this medicine boy had tricked him here to exchange for Zhou Wenju. Liang Dazhuang said angrily: "If you know the current affairs, let my master go as soon as possible, otherwise..." Before he could finish his words, he said Someone hit his mute point, and he opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound. (To be continued...)
