Chapter 32
"Tao Li, are we really going to let it go?"
The eight lower-level incense masters who were seized by Cui Sike and finally drove out of the inn, after leaving the Yuelai Inn in a slightly embarrassed manner, they did not go too far. They found a secluded alley at the corner of the street and crawled in.
After avoiding the eyes and ears of others, the group of people finally stopped pretending to be coolies. The younger Xiangzhu, who had a slightly hot temper, couldn't help but speak directly after just entering the secluded alley. He asked the Xiangzhu, whose hair was already gray, with a somewhat aggrieved and dissatisfied tone.
"Shut up!"
The oldest incense master, who was called Litou, heard the inquiry without any repression at all, his face immediately changed color. Before the other party could finish his inquiry, he immediately stopped the other party with a straightforward harsh yell and fierce look.
"If you want to die, go to the Six Gate Offices to fall into the trap yourself. Don't implicate so many brothers present, and so many disciples under your command."
Looking at the person who was scolded by him, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his face and indifferent in his eyes. Xiangzhu, who was called Litou, spoke more and more fiercely and shouted again.
Of course, despite his strong tone, he suppressed his voice twice, deliberately lowered his voice, and at the same time he did not forget to carefully observe the situation around him.
"Zhou Hang, Li Tou is right. Be careful and you will be fine. It is better to be as careful as possible when you are outside."
Some of the other incense masters may also think that Li Tou was too cautious, but no one was really stupid enough to stand on the side of the scolded incense master named Zhou Hang.
After all, as they are, you really need to be careful when doing things.
Although there has been no sign of reappearance among the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang men in the past few days, who can guarantee that they did not use more secret means to change their faces and lurk quietly, just waiting for them to make mistakes because of carelessness?
"snort."
Zhou Hang snorted lightly, obviously still a little dissatisfied, but he still didn't refute anything again, as he recognized Li's scolding of him.
"Tao Li, although Zhou Hang is a little anxious, what he just said makes some sense. We can't just let it go, right?"
After calming down a little internal conflict, a group of people finally talked about the main business after confirming the safety of the place.
"That's right, Lu Mouse, Zheng Vegetable Man, Oil Mouse, and the other three, and Kang Jinlong, were all in the guest room in the backyard of Yuelai Inn. Just now, this was also what you saw with your own eyes. If we just let it go, their conspiracy will definitely continue. After today, when they really discuss what conspiracy they have made, we will be passive."
"Yes, Li Head, we can't just watch it!"
The others also agreed.
"Ha, what are you anxious about?"
Li Tou, who was constantly bombarded by the seven people with words, put away the serious expression on his face before, and a smile appeared on his face. After glanced at the seven people, he replied in an indifferent tone.
"Tao Li, you!"
He was as impatient as Zhou Hang, and seeing Li Tou's appearance, he was impatient to explain the threat contained in it to him again, and even got stuck because he was too anxious.
"Tou Li, do you have a backup plan?"
But after seeing Li Tou's appearance, a few people who were calm and thoughtful, they couldn't help but think, and then stared at him with a little surprise and asked.
"Backhand?!"
After hearing this, Zhou Hang and others turned their heads and looked at the person who asked the question. After reacting that only Li Tou could answer this question, they immediately turned around and stared at Li Tou with a strong smile on his face.
"Hey, why do you think I only brought you seven of you?"
Seeing that everyone else was looking at him without blinking, the gray-haired Li head finally spoke again and asked the seven people.
"Hmph, Cui Sike thought he was planning to do it. He was probably proud at this moment, but he didn't know that the plan I set this time was a series of plans one by one. If I hadn't been worried that I would run into that playboy when I went back now, I would have returned to take a closer look at Cui Sike's face, hahaha."
Li Tou, who snorted lightly, before the seven people could answer, he spoke again with a slight pride. Perhaps because he was too proud in his heart, he couldn't help but open his mouth and laugh.
"Hey, what Li Tou said is just a playboy who is ignorant and arrogant because of some wealth in the family. Why should Li Tou be afraid of him?"
When the seven people heard Li Tou's words, they were naturally curious about what the subsequent plan was, so they belittled Bai Shier one after another, trying to instigate Li Tou to take them back to watch the fun. At the same time, they looked at what the plan was like one after another.
"Hey! Didn't you just tell you that being careful in everything is the best?!"
When Li Tou heard the seven people talking but holding the same thought, he seemed to feel deeply tired. After gaze on their faces, he felt a sense of "hate not to make steel".
The seven people who have the same status as Li Tou, who only see his qualifications and experience as the leader for the time being. When he heard that he seemed to treat them as subordinates, his tone of lessons taught by his juniors, his face immediately became unpleasant.
...
Not to mention the sudden conflict between the eight people in the lower class who wanted to rent, Bai Shier, who was a huge sacrifice this time, did not immediately look for the traces of the eight people after walking out of the Yuelai Inn. Instead, he said in the harsh words he had said to Cui Sike in the inn before, and ran straight to the direction of the county government.
You have to do a full set of acting.
What's more, in order to win the trust of others, he deliberately pretended not to know martial arts, and first got kicked by Li Tou, and then fell into a very embarrassed manner.
Moreover, from the situation he saw in Yuelai Inn before, he roughly guessed the identities of the eight guys dressed in coolies.
Therefore, in order to allow Kang Jinlong to get into the North Pole Heaven as soon as possible, and then use this Yuelai Inn as a springboard, he mingled with the middle and high-level staff of the North Pole Heaven and found out the identity and position of the Lord Xuanwu of the North Pole Heaven. He also wanted to finish the play and ask the people in the yamen to help him stare at the eight guys, so that they would not dare to show up again in the recent period, so as not to come out again to make trouble for Cui Sike and Kang Jinlong.
As for how to enter the county government and how to get the people in the county government to do it obediently, it will be easier.
He has always kept the horse cards of Jinyiwei and the horse cards of Dongchang. With these two horse cards representing their identities, he dare not say that the county magistrate in the hall obediently obediently obediently, and that the yamen runners who parade the streets all day long sell him a favor is not a matter of holding it in his hands.
It’s a pity that Bai Shier didn’t know that his mind was destined to fail.
Because there is never only one group of people making trouble, he can use his "personal grudges" with the previous eight lower-level incense masters to make the county yamen runners trouble the eight people, but what influence does it have on the other group of people who arrive later?
...
Just as Bai Shier had just left Yuelai Inn, when other old diners were about to say goodbye to Cui Sike when they were getting late, Yuelai Inn, which had gradually become deserted, ushered in a series of "big deals".
"Woman, do you still have a guest room here?"
Looking at the ten customers in front of me, I saw that there were just ten people. Xiaohan, a guy who was scared by the warning from the shopkeeper Cui Sike, didn't know how to answer for a while.
If Cui Sike followed the instructions before, he would naturally immediately answer that there were no guest rooms and they were all full!
But the old diners in the store who were chatting with Cui Sike just now saw the calm customers in the backyard. If he really answered like this, wouldn’t he be immediately missing the stuffing?
Therefore, even if he saw several familiar faces among the so-called "guests" who wanted to stay in the hotel, he knew at a glance that the other party was heading for Kang Jinlong in the backyard and the three upper-level incense masters who had quietly entered the store from the back door, he would not dare to immediately say he would reject them because the guest room was full, so he could only ask for help from the incense master Cui Sike.
"Shopkeeper, the customer is here!"
Cui Sike, who was chatting with several familiar diners, saw it when the group outside arrived at the door of the store. At that time, a slight premonition of something bad had arisen in his heart. Now, when he heard the guy singing with a hint of tremolo, he had already become better because he finally drove away eight opponents from the lower class, but he suddenly became nervous again.
When the forced smile was half-pushed by the guests outside the door and forced to take them into the inn, Cui Sike's heart, which was originally beating violently, immediately completely calmed down.
Because the people who come are all his "old acquaintances".
Not long ago, he had just had a "kind and enthusiastic" exchange of words with some of them.
‘These mud legs are really lingering!’
Of course, the people who came were also from the lower class. The difference is that the eight people who came before were all Yishui'er's incense masters. This time, except for the four incense masters who led them, the others were their subordinates.
Obviously, this quantity is based on the number of incense owners on the upper level who entered the inn from the back door before, and has long been calculated.
Four to four, everyone has the same number, we will not take advantage of you in terms of quantity.
When he met the leader's eyes, Cui Sike seemed to be able to hear the other party's thoughts at this moment.
"Oh, Manager Cui, you haven't had so many residents in these years."
What made Cui Sike even more annoyed was the joking words blurted out from the old diners who had not left.
"Yes, Manager Cui, this Yuelai Inn has been open for so many years, and today it finally looks like an inn, hahaha."
"Hahaha, who said no, Shopkeeper Cui, this is a good sign. Maybe your inn will be transferred this year."
The old diners who don’t know the truth are teasing each other, but they are indeed happy for Cui Sike.
But what they didn't know was that Cui Sike didn't have any thoughts of being happy about this at this moment. On the contrary, he was even willing to use the price of the guests who had never stayed in the hotel in the next year, no, three years, or even never had a hotel in exchange for the disappearance of the more than ten customers in front of him.
But unfortunately, this wish in his heart was impossible to achieve, so he could only respond to the jokes of these old diners with a smile and register these guests who came to "stay in the hotel".
However, as the old diners who had already finished their meals and were just bored and sat and chatted with Cui Sike for a few words, saw that Cui Sike was busy and left the inn one after another, the smile that had been forced to make a fuss on Cui Sike's face became lighter and shallower. Finally, with the last old diner's departure, they completely disappeared, and replaced by fierceness.
"What do you want to do?!"
Seeing that there were finally no outsiders in the inn, Cui Sike, who was almost unable to hold the brush because of his anger, threw the brush in his hand at the leader with a hidden weapon. At the same time, he lowered his voice, but gritted his teeth and asked.
"Ha, it's time to do this. Does Master Cui Xiang continue to pretend to know nothing?"
The leader turned his head slightly, gently avoided the brush thrown by Cui Sike, grinned and asked with a sneer on his face.
"Or, Master Cui Xiang thought we were all blind and fools?"
"Hmph, when we were discussing, none of you agreed with my proposal. Why? Now, when you see something wrong, you start to regret it?"
With a cold snorting, Cui Sike went back without hesitation.
"Just, you acted alone from beginning to end. Have you ever asked us what we thought before you act?"
"Haha, ask?"
Cui Sike looked at the other person with a look of a fool and smiled disdainfully.
"Why do I ask you for your opinions when doing things? Who do you think you are? Which star lord? Or the Xuanwu Lord?!"
"Ha, since that's the case, why does Master Cui Xiang still ask about our purpose?"
The other party's ridicule of Cui Sike was not annoyed at all. Instead, he immediately spoke up and attacked.
"Just like Master Cui Xiang, you said, what do we do, do you have to ask Master Cui Xiang for your opinion first?"
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and the sneer on his face became stronger. He returned the replies that Cui Sike had mocked him before and kept returning.
"Master Cui Xiang, who do you think you are?!"
"This is my territory! You have crossed the line!"
When Cui Sike saw that the other party actually used his own words to block his mouth, he felt even more angry and stopped going around with the other party and directly scolded him sternly.
"What's this about Manager Cui? We just came to your Yuelai Inn to stay in the hotel, where did you cross the line? We didn't give you room money."
The leader looked at Cui Sike in surprise on his face, but he had already changed his title.
Chapter completed!
