Chapter 904: Don't be accidentally played by him again
Of course, Balong can wait until the next time he buys supplies before leaving the house, but who knows when it will be. What if he misses the important event of the young master?
Judging from the message sent by the young master, the matter must be very urgent and must be completed as quickly as possible!
While pacing around the house, Barong thought of something.
Through chatting in the past few days, he learned from the servants who were cleaning the courtyard together that in addition to supplies, there would be a group of people in the Jiedushi Mansion to buy food every day.
After all, the Jiedushi Mansion has a vast area, a large population, and so many mouths. Not to mention rare items such as snacks, even vegetables and meat need to be purchased every day to ensure the quantity and freshness.
But because there are too many servants, and they take turns in batches, Balong doesn't know when it will be his turn, so can he make a fuss about it from other people?
With his eyes flickering uncertainly, Barong secretly gritted his teeth.
Early the next morning.
From a group of simple houses, some neatly dressed servants walked out one after another. They were all the people responsible for purchasing today. This is the rule of the Jiedushi Mansion. When it is the turn, no one dares to delay.
Everyone gathered in the front yard while discussing small matters in the house in low voices.
But after a while, a middle-aged man came in a hurry, walked to a bungalow, and knocked on the door: "Hey, Yuan San, why don't you get up? Have you forgotten what day it is today? Butler Liu
If I can't call your name, I'll get angry."
Yuan San's weak voice came from inside the house: "Brother Zhang, I'm sick. I'm afraid I won't be able to go today."
While they were talking, the door opened, and a pale face was revealed, without any color, which startled the middle-aged man.
Seeing Yuan San staggering back and lying on the bed, the middle-aged man tried to ask: "Are you okay?" In fact, he was worried that if he couldn't call people, he would be scolded by the housekeeper.
"It's okay. Maybe I have a bad stomach. But Brother Zhang, I really can't go. Please explain it to Butler Liu for me."
Yuan San tossed and turned on the bed, big beads of sweat streaming down his forehead. He had no time to worry about whether he would anger Butler Liu. For some reason, his stomach started to hurt since last night, as if someone had cut him with a knife.
, it is difficult to walk even a few steps.
The middle-aged man outside the door sighed and did not dare to waste time. He told Yuan San to have a good rest, then closed the door and hurried back to report to Butler Liu.
Who would have known that he was not the only one who couldn't be called out? There were actually ten people absent from the purchasing team today. It was said that they all had stomachaches. Someone reported that these ten people were sitting together for dinner last night, and they might have eaten something.
Bad stuff.
It doesn't matter if one or two people are missing. If there are more than ten people missing, procurement will be a problem. Butler Liu is afraid of being blamed by the superiors, so he makes a prompt decision to ask people to call more people, including those who can't take their turn for the time being.
The man surnamed Zhang ran to the area where Yuan San was and knocked on the door one by one. After learning the whole story, people who were woken up from their sleep would inevitably complain.
Among them is Balong, whose room is next to Yuan San.
Although they felt very unhappy, all the servants could only curse a few words in secret. When they got to the front yard, they lined up and followed Butler Liu out of the mansion obediently.
At noon, although there is heavy snowfall in Weiyu City, the streets are constantly flowing with traffic and vendors, showing its prosperity.
A woman selling sugar-roasted chestnuts from a cart was walking down the street when she suddenly focused her eyes and discovered messy scratches in an inconspicuous corner of the wall.
Ordinary people would only think it was a child's graffiti when they saw it, but this woman had a solemn look on her face, quickly looked away, and walked past as if nothing had happened.
After that, she paid extra attention, and sure enough, she found several more marks nearby. The marks were messy, but an expert could tell the direction, and finally the woman arrived at the door of a cloth shop.
There is the last mark left on the side of the store. The reason why it is determined to be the last mark is because the previous marks are all engraved on the long wall, only this one is connected to the store.
"How do you sell sugar-roasted chestnuts?" A lazy man came over and asked, seemingly critical.
"Twenty coppers and half a catty, you are a good boy. Can you please have some as a distinguished guest?" the woman said with a smile.
The man curled his lips, asked for half a catty, pressed the copper plate into the woman's palm, and strode away with the wrapped chestnuts. The woman also pushed the cart forward, but there was something extra in her hand.
Not long after, it was still the pavilion at the back of the huge manor on Wei Yu Road.
Aunt Lei raised the paper in her hand and said with a sneer: "That little thief Zhuo Mufeng is really capable. Even though everyone is locked up in the Jiedushi Mansion, he actually sent a message to me through my Qingshaliu secret code. It's amazing.
ah!"
The few people who were called were wondering, and upon hearing this, their expressions changed.
Everyone present was deeply aware of the strictness of the Jiedushi Mansion. They could not imagine what method Zhuo Mufeng used to spread the news.
If he is not imprisoned, it is impossible. Although the Demon Sect is hiding in the dark, its development for more than three hundred years is not a simple one. There are also their spies in the Jiedushi Mansion, and they are well aware of Zhuo Mufeng's current situation.
Condition.
Wasn’t that man flirting with his wife all day long, making love in front of others? It was said that he even performed intimate scenes in public, and was so shameless that it became the biggest news in the Jiedushi Palace.
As a result, now, people have spread the news without saying a word. How can everyone not be surprised?
Yao Wu whispered: "Could it be that there are also people from the Sanjiang Alliance in the Jiedushi Mansion?"
This is the most reasonable explanation, but it is actually unlikely. Although the Sanjiang Alliance was the top power in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it might not have dared to reach out to the Jiedu Envoy's Palace during its heyday.
Once it was found out, it was no joke. Wu Guanting was almost impatient when he was trying to make a living on someone else's territory but dared to attack the Jiedushi Mansion.
What's more, the two parties have no intersection and no conflict of interest.
Wan Jian Yan Luo said: "Could he be one of Zhuo Mufeng's own? Although that guy has been relying on the Sanjiang Alliance on the surface, but secretly, who knows what he has done."
Everyone agreed with this statement.
Before the battle in Gusu City, how many people in the world knew that Zhuo Mufeng was so deeply involved with the Demon Sect? Not to mention outsiders, even the core of the Demon Sect were kept in the dark?
If that kid has other arrangements, it's very possible.
Thinking of this, even if everyone hates Zhuo Mufeng, they can't help but marvel at this boy's extraordinary methods, just like a spider, with tentacles everywhere on his body.
Seeing some eyes looking at her, Aunt Lei curled her lips, knowing that these people were very dissatisfied with her concealing the fact that Zhuo Mufeng was a demon disciple. She slapped the paper in her hand on the table and changed the subject: "What do you have?
Opinion?"
The paper was passed one by one, and everyone was silent after reading it.
The content is very simple, with only one word: three.
You may not understand it at your leisure, but at the moment of negotiation with Zhang Jiaquan, Zhuo Mufeng, as one of the protagonists, what purpose could there be in passing this word.
They just want them to deceive Zhang Jiaquan, saying that the Heavenly Puppet Formation only has three Demon Emperor Pearls.
Butcher Li suddenly laughed ferociously and said, "Don't you think too highly of Zhuo Mufeng? Maybe that kid has been cornered for a long time and secretly joined forces with the Zhang family to deceive us and others."
"Cheating? What are the benefits of doing this to Zhuo Mufeng?" Yao Wu asked.
When asked this question, Deli Butcher hesitated and couldn't answer. He simply couldn't stand Zhuo Mufeng and didn't want others to think he was powerful. He also knew in his heart that Zhuo Mufeng's actions were meaningless.
Heart-Destroying Yama ignored the two of them and pondered for a moment: "In my opinion, there is no need to pay attention to that kid! Although we will give Zhang Jiaquan an answer sooner or later, but think about it, Zhang Jiaquan obtained the Demon Emperor Pearl. In order to prevent the news from leaking, it must be impossible.
Let Zhuo Mufeng go, but he can't do anything to us!
At that time, we only need to ask him to hand over part of the Demon Emperor Pearl to silence us, and he will definitely make compromises and concessions. After all, no matter how powerful Zhang Jiaquan is, he can't compete with the Twelve Holy Lands!
The Twelve Holy Lands did not touch him before, firstly because the cost was too high, and secondly because there was not enough reason and they just didn't want to go to a lot of trouble.
Even if one hundred thousand troops besieged Gusu City last time, Zhang Jiaquan still took advantage of it, which is reasonable and reasonable. And when Zhuo Mufeng was rescued, in fact, the only one who was really angered was the Dongfang family.
But once the Demon Emperor Pearl is involved, the Twelve Holy Lands will immediately work together, and Zhang Jiaquan’s head is not that hard-headed!"
After hearing this, many people nodded in agreement, and the butcher Li immediately praised Yama, the Destroyer of Hearts, and encouraged everyone to use this plan.
Du Yuehong glanced at the silent Yao Wu and asked: "Smelly scholar, what do you say?"
Yao Wu: "In my opinion, it's better to just do what Zhuo Mufeng said." Before the butcher could get angry, he took the lead in explaining: "I think Zhuo Mufeng is by no means an innocent person. He came here to do this."
News, there may be a way out.
In this way, when he escapes, we will have a handle on him. By then, even the Zhang family will not protect him, and he will never dare to play tricks on us again! Instead of seeking skin from the tiger with the Zhang family, and may not get much, it is better to choose
The weaker Zhuo Mufeng."
In fact, when Zhuo Mufeng tricked them and switched to Zhang Jiaquan, if they really wanted to take revenge, they could have directly publicized the news about the Demonic Emperor Pearl.
But they won't do this unless they have to. Otherwise, with the Twelve Holy Lands disrupting the situation, there will really be no hope of getting the Demon Emperor Pearl. Not to mention, it will severely damage Zhang Jiaquan, a partner, and affect the Demon Sect's plans.
However, Yao Wu's words awakened Zhuo Mufeng. If Zhuo Mufeng could successfully deceive Zhang Jiaquan, no one would be able to compete with them for the remaining five Demon Emperor Pearls. So why bother telling the truth and sharing them equally with Zhang Jiaquan?
get.
Yao Wu continued: "The above is a good thing, but even in the worst case scenario, the worst case scenario is that Zhuo Mufeng is exposed, but does it have anything to do with us? Zhang Jiaquan has nothing to do with us. When the time comes, will we tell the truth?
Late."
After hearing what he said, there was a moment of silence in the pavilion, and then Wan Jian Yan Luo's cheers rang out: "This is a wonderful plan!"
Even Li Butcher, after thinking about it again and again, had to admit that Yao Wu's words were more reasonable. However, when he thought of this, he inevitably fulfilled Zhuo Mufeng's wish and coldly snorted: "I advise you to be careful, but don't do it again."
Got played by that kid!"
Angry Yama Luo was filled with murderous intent: "What a fool! If he dares to cheat again this time, I will not stop doing anything and make the news public directly. At worst, the fish will die and the net will be broken!"
After hearing his statement like this, Butcher Li finally stopped talking.
As for the ignorant monk, this bald donkey defended Zhuo Mufeng over and over again and was already isolated by everyone. When they encountered anything about Zhuo Mufeng, they all tacitly agreed not to inform him.
