Twilight Boundary

Sun Niuzi was domineering and domineering in Zhuangzi, which aroused the anger of heaven and earth, but one thing has to be said, the clerks in Zhuangzi were just patient and patient, and they did not rush to climb up to him.

The same goes for the two guys who were once left behind by Xu Ji. They usually avoid them and don't want to go over and hug them.

The reason is that after this year, Hu Ma has done things steadily and treated people kindly, and has a lot of prestige in this village.

They all subconsciously thought that Hu Ma would not suffer such a loss. Sun Niuzi was too arrogant. In a few days, he might be driven back to the city by Manager Hu, no, Shopkeeper Hu. Go, with the attitude of watching this good show in my heart.

But what they didn't expect was that Hu Ma kept watching Sun Niuzi with a cold expression.

Whatever the other party says is whatever it is, and whatever is asked is done.

It seems that he is still the same as before when he was in charge, never saying a word.

When you were in charge, you were also doing the shopkeeper's job. Now that you have the opportunity to be the shopkeeper, why don't you go back?

They were thinking in their hearts, and they were a little confused.

But Hu Ma didn't take the initiative to get into trouble with Sun Niuzi. As clerks, they naturally didn't dare.

After waiting until about seven or eight days, and it was almost June, Hu Ma took the initiative to enter the inner courtyard on this day, accompanied Smiley Face, and approached Sun Niuzi who was drinking on the stone table with his entourage. He smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Sun, I have something to say."

As soon as Sun Niuzi picked up the cup, he was suddenly startled and said with a smile: "What did you call me?"

Hu Ma smiled and said: "It's the shopkeeper!"

Sun Niuzi hurriedly put down the wine cup, waved his hand and said, "Don't call me that, we are just a steward."

"There are several big shots in this city, but you are the one they want to promote."

"..."

Hu Ma smiled and said: "I have only been in the club for a few days, so what can I know? This shopkeeper must be someone reliable."

"I came in today because I had something important to discuss with shopkeeper Sun. Now that the blood meal for the spring has been completed, the old shopkeeper has taken care of it as soon as the accounts are settled. There is nothing much to do if I stay here."

"We are eating the money and food from the Red Lantern Lady every month, and we feel uneasy."

"So I was thinking about taking a few brothers out to see if there is anything I can do to help the Red Lantern Lady."

"In the past, with this Zhuangzi as a drag, I couldn't get away even if I wanted to. But now that Shopkeeper Sun is watching, I feel relieved."

"..."

"You want to go out?"

Sun Niuzi felt very comfortable when he heard that Hu Ma was a shopkeeper. He slowly pinched a peanut and threw it into his mouth. He didn't even ask Hu Ma to sit down, so he imitated his brother-in-law and said, "You want to give it to me?" It’s right that the Red Lantern Queen works.”

"I just don't know, what do you want to do?"

"..."

Hu Ma smiled and said, "Don't you want to ask someone who understands?"

"Then you have really found the right person. Our brother-in-law... I have been learning how to do things from Master Zheng Xiang, and we know this best."

Sun Niuzi became excited for a moment. He sat down with Hu Ma and told him one by one. In the Red Lantern Club, what did the Baixiang disciples do, what did the Qingxiang disciples do, and what did the Hongxiang disciples do? .

Hu Madu listened carefully, and only said that he planned to make a contribution and let him help recommend it. Sun Niuzi took the opportunity to smile and said: "There is one contribution, it just depends on whether you want to do it or not."

Hu Ma said hurriedly: "Please tell me, if you don't make merit, it won't stand. No one dares to do it."

Sun Niuzi laughed and said something immediately.

But more than 200 miles away from here, there is a wealthy family. Although he is not in Mingzhou Prefecture, he is a believer of the Red Lantern Queen. Some of the secret blood pills of the Red Lantern Society earlier came from him. Let's go and rely on his shop to sell to the surrounding wealthy families.

But this wealthy family, in the last year, was killed by someone unknown. The matter has been unresolved, waiting for others to come over.

Hu Ma, who had been listening beside him, suddenly nodded and said, "I'd rather give it a try."

"If we can really solve this matter, I'm afraid the contribution will be no less than that of brother Yang Gong."

"Of course, the reply to the city must be written clearly. Only when you have a reputation can you just do things."

"..."

Sun Niuzi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Very good, very good."

And Hu Ma looked at him and showed a kind and sincere smile.

However, when this incident spread, the guys in Zhuangzi were quite puzzled. Why did Hu Ma take this job? He had enough of a stable life, but he wanted to go out to find trouble?

His concession to Sun Niuzi was beyond everyone's comprehension.

Not only do you usually just tolerate whatever the other party says, but now at the critical moment, you are actually willing to give up the name of the shopkeeper and even be manipulated by the other party.

Clay figurines still have a certain amount of fire, but you look worse than a clay figurine...

In confusion, Zhou Datong suddenly shut up and stopped talking.

Hu Ma didn't even explain, he just looked like he was ruthless and wanted to make great achievements.

He watched as Sun Niuzi wrote a letter overnight, accepted the job, stamped it with Zhuangzi's seal, decided who would stay and who would go out, and then summoned the little emissary and handed it to the city.

The most important thing is that in this letter, when Hu Ma wrote that Sun Niu Zi was staying behind, he simply added the word "shopkeeper" as a suffix. Sun Niu Zi was so excited that he immediately felt a lot better about Hu Ma and didn't even want to embarrass him anymore. I just want to tell my brother-in-law that he is a good man.

As for Hu Ma, after completing these things, he immediately started to clean up and withdraw money and food.

Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang, and Zhao Zhu all took them with them, and even Li Wazi was prepared to take them with him.

But Li Wazi came over and said, "Brother Mazi, I'm useless. The stove is not working well. If I meet a wanderer on the road and blow my breath, I'm done. If I go out with you, I'm just a burden."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "Besides, since you are out, we can't live without our own people in Zhuangzi."

"I'll stay and keep an eye on it for you."

"..."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Datong and others were a little hesitant.

This Li Wazi has a criminal record. You are one of our own now. Who knows if you will become Sun Niuzi's when we come back?

But Hu Ma looked at it and felt that Li Wazi was trustworthy at this time, so she agreed and gave him detailed instructions.

On the second day, he brought his things with him and received a lot of money, food, black ointment, weapons and other things from the village. He also took a horse from the stable.

Because he knew how difficult it was to get the flax, Sun Niuzi not only did not hinder him, but waved his hand and let them withdraw it as they pleased. After they changed their clothes, tied their trousers, they strode out of Zhuangzi toward the rising sun.

It wasn't until they had walked a few miles that Hu Ma turned to look in the direction of Zhuang Zi, with a smile on her lips.

"Good man..."

"..."

"Shopkeeper, the people in this village are really stupid..."

But after Hu Ma and others left Zhuangzi, Sun Niuzi and his entourage suddenly jumped for joy.

Immediately, he ordered Li Wazi in the kitchen to prepare good wine and food and bring them to the inner courtyard. At the same time, he laughed and talked about the matter.

Sun Niuzi followed Zheng Xiangzhu's example, shook his head and said: "Haha, you look at him as a fool, but I look at him as a smart man."

"He also knows that with us here, he can't sit still as the shopkeeper, so he wants to imitate Yang Gong and make a great contribution so that he can naturally secure his position as the shopkeeper."

"But he also doesn't want to think about it. It's been so long since the family extermination happened. Why has no one gone to deal with it?"

"The Tsing Yi Gang's people are just there, Pan Heng. How can they be solved so easily?"

"..."

The attendant smiled and said: "So, not only does he not want to achieve this feat, but can he come back and tell me?"

Sun Niuzi smiled and said, "Isn't that right?"

In his heart, he was thinking vaguely, if Hu Ma couldn't come back, how should Zhuangzi's identity be determined?

It was God who took care of him. This boy named Hu was too timid. In order to please himself, he insisted on being a small boy and promoted himself as the shopkeeper. However, what he said always did not count. He still had to look at his brother-in-law. How to arrange it there.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and asked Li Wazi to stew another chicken to go with the wine.

But within a few days of such a stable life, after the night patrol, he was drinking with his entourage in the inner courtyard. He also selected a few people who liked him from the waiters outside and came over to listen to his bragging.

It was just when we were full of wine and food, but it was suddenly cold. Outside the village, a gust of cool breeze suddenly blew in, and the red lantern hanging at the door also emitted a strange red light that was different from usual.

"who is it?"

This gust of wind made everyone in the village suddenly wake up from the drunkenness.

He rushed out of Zhuangzi with his knife and gun, but was so frightened that he almost fainted and fell to his knees on the ground.

"Incense burner?"

Seeing Sun Niuzi kneeling on the ground, shivering, the other guys hurriedly followed suit and knelt down.

They didn't know where these people came from, but they saw that each of them was riding a tall horse and wearing black clothes. Even their heads and faces were covered by black cloth, only revealing a pair of sinister eyes.

They hung knives on their waists, and immediately picked up a red lantern. Half of their bodies were hidden in the night, and they looked like they were half in the world and half in hell.

The other waiters didn't know the origins of these people. When they saw them carrying red lanterns, they thought they must be their own people, but they looked scary.

Only Sun Niuzi knew that these people were the most mysterious and favored people under the control of the Red Lantern Queen.

They are all disciples of Hongxiang. They possess secret laws and their whereabouts are mysterious. Only when the Red Lantern Empress personally issues an order can they act in accordance with the order. Once they appear, not to mention Zhuangzi, even the owner of the incense will have to do so. Kneel down quickly and salute.

Not to greet them, but to greet the Red Lantern Lady they represent.

The person on the horse, the first one, smelled the alcohol on their bodies, and his eyes under the black cloth narrowed slightly.

The voice was cold and low: "Who is the shopkeeper in this village?"

Sun Niuzi was startled for a moment and said hurriedly: "I am, I wonder how many adults, what are your orders?"

"Then let's go!"

The man on the horse said coldly: "The Queen has issued a decree to summon the shopkeepers from all over the country to go to the city overnight. I have important matters to tell you."
