"Second brother, have you listened to too many operas? These three came out and you made them come out. Those who didn't know thought you thought you were Lu Bu!"

Liu An was a little happy on the sidelines. He had always been despised by Sun Zhuo.

I finally caught the opportunity, but I didn't want to let it go.

Jia Daoquan said angrily and coldly, and Liu An did not dare to say a word, but his eyes were darting around, and his eyes were still scanning Sun Zhuo's face from time to time.

Logically speaking, after the lie has been exposed, it is natural to tell the story of what happened. The right and wrong must be told. But Sun Zhuo groaned and did not intend to speak.

This angered Jia Daoquan. He raised his finger and pointed at Sun Zhuo, angrily saying, "If you don't tell me, I'll open my mouth and ask!"

Generally speaking, people with nicknames are ruthless people. At least they have a high status in their own industry and field. If the matchmaker who protects the matchmaker adds a nickname like "Iron Mouth", it doesn't matter whether he is a man or a man.

Women, all have high reputations in the matchmaking industry.

The same is true for Wenren. Wenren are well-informed people who inquire about information.

They make a living by buying and selling news.

But there are exceptions, such as when they are asked to inquire about information, because the Wenren's network of connections is too exaggerated, and the originally unknown information will be spread all over the world.

Of course, there is a premise: the news is exciting enough.

When Sun Zhuo heard that Jia Daoquan wanted to buy information from Zhang Dazui, his face turned pale with fright. Although he always felt that the possibility of Jia Daoquan doing this was unlikely, but what if it happened? If he really wanted Zhang Dazui to find out about his bad luck, it wouldn't take two seconds.

God, everyone in Yingzhou City knows that he is the number one hero in Yingzhou. How can he still survive after being bullied by a child? Sun Zhuo complained endlessly: "Forget it, it doesn't matter what you say. It's better to be embarrassed in front of your brothers than to be embarrassed in front of Ying."

The city is famous."

As a last resort, Sun Zhuo could only talk about what happened that day.

That day, he found that there were officers and soldiers blocking the door of Changpingcang, and he went out to argue. As for the rudeness of the exit, it didn't matter. The warehouse supervisor was not popular, but the imperial army was even less popular. If it was the Xiang army, then

It's the most unfashionable thing in the world, and there's no difference between it and the other way around.

Unexpectedly, a boy rushed out. Without saying a word, he started fighting with him. After this fight, he discovered that the opponent's kung fu was quite powerful. He was beaten and hit without paying attention, and he was restrained.

Living.

"You mean, you were beaten by a child?"

Jia Daoquan couldn't believe it. Although Sun Zhuo's kung fu was not very good, he could easily deal with ordinary soldiers. How could he be beaten by a child until he had no backhand power?

The corner of Sun Zhuo's mouth showed the bitterness of grievance, and he bravely corrected his elder brother Jia Daoquan's judgment, and defended in a low voice: "It was a sneak attack by a man who looked like a child."

This guy is working hard to save his own face. If he fights with adults, his skills are inferior to others. But if he fights with children and loses in the end, it is called collapse. The reputation he has accumulated throughout his life will become sour and smelly.

"Is there any difference?" Jia Dao was so angry that he didn't even have the energy to talk to this guy. What's the point of talking about it now?

face?

Is face really that important to a man?

"Yes!" Sun Zhuo, who usually spoke with a strong voice, was also speaking softly at this moment, as if an eggplant had been beaten by frost and was wilting.

When anyone has to accept a very painful result for them, most people would rather be deceived than bullied in the process. This is due to the fact that the results are the same, but the psychological processes are completely different.

.

Sun Zhuo can no longer be arrogant, but he still needs to maintain the face of a man.

Jia Daoquan didn't care about Sun Zhuo's face. He was a strong person, and he always spoke the truth. He glanced at Sun Zhuo with disdain, waved his hand and said to the servant: "Send the second master to the guest room."

Rest. Don’t be scared away during this period. Although the weather in Yingzhou has not changed, the wind has picked up. You are a reckless person, and there is a high chance that they will take advantage of you."

Sun Zhuo felt sad and thought about this. But he didn't know at all that Li Kui didn't act according to common sense. He beat him because he didn't like him. Who made him arrogant?

But without Su Shi's instruction, it was entirely Li Kui's impromptu idea.

Only then did Sun Zhuo realize that because of a disastrous defeat, he had no chance to discuss with Jia Daoquan. He felt a sense of rejection and neglect. He turned to look at Liu An, who was still intact, and said angrily: "Liu An, your usual

Do you still have the closing position in hand?"

Liu An looked at Sun Zhuo in confusion. He understood very well that this second brother had lost face and couldn't get any back from him. However, he didn't care about this little face. After all, Sun Zhuo usually used words to stimulate him.

It's not just once or twice. If he really couldn't stand a little excitement, he would have fallen out with Sun Zhuo long ago.

He shook his head slightly and said, "It was taken away by Xu Rang, the general judge."

"Don't you know how to resist? Although Changpingcang is under the joint jurisdiction of the state capital and the Changping Division, we are not officials of the state capital, but officials of the Changping Division. How could you not even say a word?

, just give up my authority by changing hands?"

"Second brother, I don't have the time to get close to you, so I can't beat you!"

It seemed that Liu An said something very useless, but to Sun Zhuo's ears, it was quite harsh.

It was like hitting a soft nail, the skin and flesh were unscathed, but the heart had been stabbed and bloody and torn apart.

After the servant sent Sun Zhuo away, Liu An secretly glanced at his second brother Sun Zhuo. There was despair in his eyes, which made him feel pity in his heart.

awful!

It's too awful!

Thanks to the general judge Xu Rang I met.

Liu An originally resented Xu Rang very much. The old man could just be his general judge, but he was also troublesome and always had trouble with them. But now, he is extremely grateful to Xu Rang. If he had changed the team, he might have suffered a loss.

It was not Sun Zhuo, but himself. At the same time, he also had a better understanding of Su Shi in his heart.

Who said that scholars and great writers are easy to talk to?

Sun Zhuo's unlucky appearance is a lesson from the past.

"Third brother, third brother!"

Jia Daoquan shouted two or three times in succession before Liu An came back to his senses. After being shaken, he asked in hindsight: "Brother, what are you calling me?"

"Are you scared?"

Jia Daoquan was extremely disappointed with Sun Zhuo. He was originally a good soldier who could charge into battle for him, but he didn't expect that it was a silver spear with a pewter tip, which was useless.

As for Liu An, he didn't count on him at all. But now, Sun Zhuo's face was gone, his bones seemed to be broken, and even his spine was bent, so he couldn't count on him at all. But although he would be better than Liu An when he came forward

It's much better, but as the person in charge, he can't always be alone. He needs someone to help him share some of the pressure.

Liu An hurriedly shook his head and said: "Brother, please forgive me. I was thinking just now, who would do such a painful thing to my second brother?"

"This matter is not important. We will find out later when the spies bring the news." Jia Daoquan said worriedly: "Now Su Shi has taken action. He holds nearly 40,000 shi of grain. Although he is not a big threat to us, he is still

We can't sit back and wait for death. For the current plan, we can only attack first. Third brother, we need you to take action this time."

"Brother!" Liu An's voice was trembling. How could he be a unique figure?

Jia Daoquan did not give Liu An an excuse at all, and said directly: "In previous years, the price of food at this time was relatively stable, but this is the prerequisite for us and the state capital to be in peace. But this year is different. Su Shi has obviously been suppressed by Xu

Let's persuade them, they have already taken action, we can't just watch. Otherwise, we don't know how we will die in the end. Only by coming and going can we know the level of means, and the only thing we can control is the price of food. It happens that spring plowing is about to happen, and the people

There are many people who are short of food, and the price of food is enough to give Su Shi a headache."

After saying that, Jia Daoquan walked up to the pavilion with his head held high, leaving Liu An with an undoubted determination.

"Brother, if we take action rashly, what if... in the end... why don't I go talk to those people?" Liu An was really scared. He only got the job of a warehouse supervisor because of the kindness of his ancestors.

Official positions are not considered promising even for young people. How can a junior official of the eighth grade compete with a bachelor of the third grade?

Are you really bullying Su Shi for being a scholar and not understanding anything?

In the past, they succeeded because the governors of the prefecture did not care about anything and did not care as long as there was no civil unrest. Moreover, there were floods in Yingzhou in previous years, which more or less distracted the attention of the governors.

.I have no time to estimate how many of them there are.

This year is different. Su Shi's domineering behavior has made Liu An feel uneasy. He is deeply afraid that provoking Su Shi again and again will cause greater pressure from the government. That's why he thought of foreign aid. The big family in Yingzhou are not

There are only a few of them, Jia Daoquan. Speaking of which, they are considered to be nouveau riche, and their accumulated land was only purchased in recent years. It may not be appropriate to say that it was purchased, and plundering may be more appropriate. But the group of people who get the greatest benefits will always

They are not pawns who rush to kill. To those people, Jia Daoquan and others are real pawns, the kind who would not regret their death.

Now that the matter was urgent, Liu An thought of those meat-eating bosses. They were the real local snakes in Yingzhou. Once they came forward, Su Shi would definitely be under great pressure.

However, Liu An's suggestion was immediately opposed by Jia Daoquan, and his tone was quite tough: "Those people, wherever we can get close to them, even if you come to our door, you will be eaten up and no bones will be left."

.Instead of doing this, it is better to give it a try. Maybe, we can still fight our way out."

Jia Daoquan said these words completely with emotion, and his mood was quite resentful. Obviously, he had suffered from those people.

However, after he finished speaking, he calmed down and continued: "Third brother, you don't have to worry about the reactions of those people. Although we have never had contact with them and have avoided contact with them, but think about it, we have

If there was any movement, how would they react?”

"Almost every time, the reaction is the same as ours. A day or two at most?" At this point, Liu An suddenly became frightened: "Brother, are you saying there are people from them among us?"

"Silly words, who are we? What are their identities?"

Jia Daoquan laughed at himself: "We are just low-level people. If things are exposed in the future, it will be our fault. But as long as it is not a huge case, they will keep us. Because they will get more benefits."

We are eating soup, they are eating meat."

Liu An asked nervously: "What is a huge case?"

"The civil uprising, the riots caused, and the military suppression, if such an outcome is to occur, I am afraid that our lives will be at risk! But as long as there is no civil uprising, we don't need to be afraid."

Only then did Liu An understand that his eldest brother had been gambling and gambling with his life. If he won the bet, he would get a century-old family legacy. If he really lost, it wouldn't be too miserable.
