Huo Laosi would never have thought that the person who was tricked by the boss could come back alive.
There was meat in today's dinner. It seemed that the boss was very kind to Huo Laosi's family and at least gave him a reward for buying meat. Su Ren hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Eating meat was definitely a luxury in Han Dynasty. Beef
You can't eat it. It's a crime to eat it. No one eats pork. It's too dirty. Only mutton or game hunted in the woods are edible meat.
Su Ren didn't mind it, so he took out a piece of meat from a basin and stuffed it into his mouth. It was mutton, and the taste was really unpleasant. After the light salty taste, the smell of sheep was left. Su Ren immediately spit it out: "
It tastes so bad? How did you make it? Doesn’t it taste too bad? You are a salt seller and you don’t put more salt in it.”
Huo Laosi immediately fell to his knees, lying on the ground and kowtowing continuously. The woman beside him was holding her two children and sobbing. It seemed that she also knew that her husband had offended someone who should not be offended.
"The villain really has no choice but to take risks in order to survive. I also ask the two young masters to forgive me and please let my husband and two children go." Huo Laosi lay on the ground and said in a crying voice: "
I, Huo Laosi, am responsible for all my work and I can do whatever you want with me. I just ask you to take pity on my children and not care about their affairs."
Su Ren still had a smile on his face, watching Huo Laosi lying on the ground and kowtowing. His forehead, which was not smooth yesterday, was broken again within a few strokes.
"You are a man! Get up!"
Huo Laosi was trembling with fear. He kept saying a few words of mercy, and he knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.
"Get up!" Su Ren shot several cases, which frightened Huo Laosi's woman and child into tears. Su Ren said with a dark face: "Grandpa, I'm here to take revenge. You kid actually betrayed us, okay!
Look who's taking care of who? He's still eating meat, do you think grandpa is dead?" He kicked the two pots on the ground away, and the gravy and vegetable soup inside were spread all over the floor.
Huo Laosi stood up tremblingly. His muscles were loose and flabby, showing no energy at all. He turned back and glanced at the woman and child next to him: "I'm sorry for you. After I die, you can take your children and remarry!"
The woman cried even harder, dropped her two children and fell at Su Ren's feet: "Young master, please let us go. My husband really has no choice. Even if there is no way, I would not dare to murder the young master. Please."
, just spare my husband, if you want to die, I will die for my husband."
The woman flew towards the pillar on the side and quickly grabbed her with cold eyes and quick hands.
Su Ren had never been a villain. He originally wanted to scare Huo Laosi and imitated the bullies on TV. He was so happy that he didn't expect that Huo Laosi's wife was actually going to be killed. A vulgar and interesting moment.
It’s gone. In front of you is a family of four, busy with life every day. In the eyes of others, they are like a group of ants. In order to survive, they will try their best to climb up if they have the chance, but the results are often not good. Just like this time, Huo
The fourth child really had no intention of murdering Su Ren and Leng Jun, he just became a victim of the fight between Su Ren and Liu Wen.
"Okay, okay! You are really dead! Am I the kind of bully who drives people to death?" Su Ren was a little impatient and did not dare to provoke these two common people anymore.
"Come here!" Su Ren waved to Huo Laosi and sat down on the wooden pier beside him. I don't know when, there were two more sesame seed cakes in his hand, which were the leftovers from their afternoon meal. He was holding the sesame seed cakes in his hands.
He wandered in front of the two children for a while, and smiled: "Eat, I kicked your dinner, this is compensation."
The two children were already trembling with fear. Looking at the sesame cakes, they wanted to take them but didn't dare. Their small eyes kept looking at Huo Laosi behind Su Ren.
"Why? Don't want to eat it? Don't worry, there is no poison in it!"
Huo Laosi nodded at the two children. The two children then grabbed the sesame seed cakes and ate them with big mouthfuls, with tears still on their faces.
Su Ren chuckled. These two children reminded him of his little nephew. The same thing happened to that kid. When he cried, he would stop immediately and smile with tears on his face as long as there was something delicious to eat.
"Tell me? How many benefits did your boss give you? Let me also hear, for how much money, you were able to murder two people."
Huo Laosi quickly dug out a clay pot from under the stove: "Master Mingjian, I really don't want to murder you. The boss gave me ten dollars and asked me to take you there. I don't know anything else."
"Only ten dollars? Are our two lives worth ten dollars?" Su Ren sighed: "You're too fucking cheap."
Huo Laosi shrank his head and held the clay pot in his hand, as if he was afraid that Su Ren would take it from him.
Su Rendao: "I'll give you twenty dollars. You go and call your boss over now and tell him that I have something to ask him. If he doesn't come, don't blame me for being rude."
Huo Laosi didn't move. He didn't want to go. No matter it was Su Ren or their boss, in Huo Laosi's eyes, he was a big shot. Their boss controlled all the smugglers in Wenshui County. This Su Ren could still walk out after entering the cell.
Such a thing has never happened before. Although Huo Laosi is rude, he is not stupid. He can see his weight in front of others. Anyone who wants to kill him is like crushing an ant to death.
"What? You don't want to do this? Do you think I won't kill you?" Su Ren's face darkened again.
Huo Laosi waved his hand quickly: "I don't dare, it's just..."
"Just what? You still think that I am not your boss's opponent?" Su Ren adjusted his sitting posture and faced Huo Laosi: "To tell you the truth, from today on, when I sell salt, it will be official salt, and you will also sell my salt.
I have seen that as long as I lower the price a little bit, not to mention your private salt, even Liu Wen's official salt will not be sold."
Su Ren took out the salt certificate and waved it in front of Huo Laosi's eyes twice: "For the sake of helping me, I want to give you a way to live. Since you don't want to, it's fine. Mr. Zhang is outside. As long as
When we walk out of this room, the official will come in immediately. You should be very clear about the crime of selling smuggled salt."
"Sir, spare your life, I'm going, I'm going right now!" Huo Laosi completely softened, dropped the jar, got up from the ground and ran out the door.
Su Ren quickly stopped Huo Laosi: "Wait a minute, do you know what to say? Tell him that he only needs to come here alone. Tonight is not yesterday. I have many people in Baihua Lane. If he dares to bring people over, this business will be over."
No need to talk about it."
"I understand!" Huo Laosi hurried out the door.
Leng Jun threw the woman to the ground, and the two children rolled and rolled into the woman's arms. The mother and son hugged each other and cried. They never imagined that such a disaster would befall them.
The fourth Huo family was so poor that maybe that meal was the first time they had eaten meat in their lives. There was no place to buy meat in Wenshui County, and Su Ren even saw it when he was wandering around the county. No.
I know where Huo Laosi’s meat comes from.
Waiting until the middle of the night, Huo Laosi limped back. His head was swollen like a pig's head, and there was blood in his nose. He covered his eyes with one hand and couldn't speak fluently with his tongue.
"Sir, the boss said he won't come!"
Su Ren chuckled: "I guessed this." He took out twenty pieces of money from his sleeve and threw it on the ground: "Whether he comes or not, your mission has been completed. These twenty pieces of money are
It’s yours.”
Huo Laosi shook his head quickly. Su Ren looked at Huo Laosi's pig-headed appearance and found it funny. This guy is still an honest person. If he is a cunning person, he must go out for a walk and then come back to tell his boss that he is not coming.
No matter how stupid you are, you should know that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Su Ren and the boss have already started a war. As the boss of the smuggling salt trade, with the so-called advantage, he will definitely not take risks and will definitely not come. Huo Laosi was
The fact that he was beaten like this shows that he must have gone to see the boss.
Su Ren said to Huo Laosi: "Since you don't come, don't blame me for being dirty. Huo Laosi, I'll give you a discount. You can sell my salt blatantly for three yuan per pound of salt."
Forget it, the nearby mountain villages can sell it however they want, do you want to do that?"
Huo Laosi was stunned, covered his face with one hand, and looked at Su Ren with swollen eyes. He was a little hesitant. In the past, smuggling salt was done secretly, and the price and site were all agreed upon by the boss. He struggled for a month
, in the end, it was only enough for a family of four. What Su Ren gave him was an opportunity. Su Ren’s salt was good and the price was low. Even if he didn’t increase the price, he would still have a balance of two yuan. Don’t sell more every month, just sell.
At only four or five kilograms, it is enough to feed and clothe a family.
But Huo Laosi is also afraid. He knows best what kind of role the boss is. After working with the boss for so many years, all the disobedient people are either dead or missing. He doesn't want to disappear without any reason. The whole family is still counting on him.
Woolen cloth.
Su Ren knew Huo Laosi's difficulties and patted Huo Laosi on the shoulder: "I never do things to perfection. I asked you to go to your boss just now. I really gave him a way to survive. He was unwilling. Now I
I'll give you a way to survive, but you have to think clearly. If you follow your boss all the way to the dark side, don't say I didn't warn you. I'm afraid that within a few months, your family will suffer from the northwest wind."
Huo Laosi said nothing, still struggling deep in his heart.
Su Ren nodded: "Okay, in this case I won't force others to do anything, you can just do it yourself!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door coldly.
"Master, stay!"
Su Ren let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He came here tonight just to get Lao Huo to join the gang. Regarding the matter of selling salt, whether it was Su Ren who was an outsider or Leng Jun who grew up in Laojunguan, both of them had their eyes open.
Blind. Apart from Huo Laosi, Su Ren really doesn't know any other salt sellers in Wenshui County. If Huo Laosi joins them, their official salt business will definitely occupy the market quickly.
Su Ren turned his head and looked at Huo Laosi. Huo Laosi knelt on the ground with a bang: "If you don't mind me, I, Huo Laosi, will follow you from now on. If you have an assignment, Huo Laosi will go through fire and water."
Without hesitation."
Su Ren quickly helped Huo Laosi up and laughed: "Okay, with your help, our official salt business will definitely prosper." (To be continued)
