Chapter 38 Moving Grain
"Can you unlock the door?" Zhou Yunshu asked again helplessly when she saw Du Mazi looking at her as if she was stupid.
"Yes, yes, I will Mr. Zhou!"
He is so good at unlocking things!
Time waits for no one. Zhou Yunshu said, "Open all the locked doors before they come back, and find out where the food is stored."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, leave it to me!"
When Du Mazi went to unlock the door, Zhou Yunshu observed the two courtyards in front of her. The whole courtyard was dark, with only a light on in the back house of the first courtyard.
However, these did not prevent Du Mazi from unlocking the door, especially now that it was a little brighter.
Du Mazi didn't know whether he had practiced this before, but in the time it took him to drink a cup of tea, he had opened all the locked doors in the yard.
One of the courtyards was filled with grain; the second courtyard contained grain as well as some gold, silver, jewelry, antique utensils, cloth, medicinal herbs and other things.
When Du Mazi opened the door and saw so many good things, his eyes turned red. He would be rich if he took any of them!
Just when Du Mazi was about to lose control of his hands, Zhou Yunshu walked to the door and closed it, blocking Du Mazi's sight.
Du Mazi turned his head stiffly and said in a hoarse voice, "Sir?"
So much money, so much jewelry, I want it so much!!
"The most important thing for us now is to move the food. Go and move the food."
Du Mazi was anxious when he saw the gold, silver and jewels so close to him. With red eyes, he looked at Zhou Yunshu and said, "But there are so many gold and silver beads..."
Zhou Yunshu looked at him and said, "Those thugs are coming soon. Do you want to be exposed and die here?"
Du Mazi looked at Zhou Yunshu's cold eyes and became much more sober.
"Don't forget the purpose of our coming here." Zhou Yunshu added.
Du Mazi almost cried when he saw the closed door. It was such a rare opportunity to make a fortune!
"I understand, Mr. Zhou." Du Mazi forced himself to turn his eyes away from the closed door.
Seeing that Du Mazi still listened to her, Zhou Yunshu said, "I will pack a bundle as the reward from the county magistrate to the Red Lotus Envoy."
Du Mazi's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhou Yunshu with energy.
Zhou Yunshu patted Du Mazi's shoulder and looked at Liang Laosan, who was also jealous but could still hold back, and Qingfeng, who couldn't take his eyes off the herbs, and said, "Don't worry, I never treat my own people unfairly."
After hearing what Zhou Yunshu said, the three of them immediately said, "Mr. Zhou, let's go move the food!"
Zhou Yunshu looked at them and nodded, "Go."
After Du Mazi and the other two went to the front yard, Zhou Yunshu pushed open the door and walked back in.
There is a saying that goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed.
Although it doesn’t sound nice, Zhou Yunshu is now this “thief”.
She never had too much money or food.
…
Wei Zhong was worried about Zhou Yunshu, so he kept a cold face when he and his thugs went to Fengyue Tower. The thugs saw that Wei Zhong's momentum was not inferior to their boss at all, and they were more convinced that they were the county magistrate's men, so they got another mule cart.
Wei Zhong and his two brothers each drove a car, and the thug drove two more cars with his two brothers.
When they returned to the private warehouse, Du Mazi and Liang Laosan had already moved a lot of food to the door.
Du Mazi nonchalantly called on his thugs to help them move the food. Wei Zhong looked around but didn't see Zhou Yunshu. He frowned and asked, "Where's Mr. Zhou?"
Just as Du Mazi was about to speak, Zhou Yunshu's voice came from behind Du Mazi and the other man.
"I checked the private vault." Zhou Yunshu looked at the guards looking at her and said, "You guys are doing a pretty good job. The yamen is short of runners right now. I'll consider putting in a few good words for you."
Zhou Yunshu also heard about the shortage of yamen runners from the backyard of the government office. After hearing what Zhou Yunshu said, the thugs worked even harder and didn't even bother about the bundle in Zhou Yunshu's hand.
They didn't ask, but Zhou Yunshu still wanted to say a few words, "This should be enough for the Red Lotus Envoy's travel expenses."
As she spoke, she looked at the thug who had opened the door for them at the beginning and said, "I have locked the door of the private vault again. Be careful. The world outside is very chaotic. Don't let anyone take advantage of the situation and steal the food and money. Understand?"
The thug nodded repeatedly. As expected of the county magistrate, he considered a lot!
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. We are not stupid. How could we let others take advantage of us so easily?"
Du Mazi: “…”
Wei Zhong: “…”
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "Well, I think you have a bright future."
The thug's eyes curved when he heard this, and he quickly said attentively, "Thank you for your appreciation, sir!"
"Move quickly, don't keep the adults waiting for too long."
"Alright, sir, we brothers may not have anything else, but we have plenty of strength!"
In order to show off, the thugs kept grabbing the work, and Wei Zhong and his friends didn't do much.
Zhou Yunshu was not idle while they were working. She was chatting with the three thugs who were working hard.
"Why are you brothers the only ones here at night?"
The man who opened the door for Zhou Yunshu was called Hu Zi. He was 18 years old, strong and muscular. He rubbed his head and said, "It's because we brothers are not well-liked. We are orphans and have no connections!"
"But it's a blessing for us brothers that the master can remember us." Hu Zi said flatteringly.
How can he grow up by himself and become so strong if he can't speak?
Zhou Yunshu's eyes moved slightly and she asked, "Are you all?"
The other two nodded and said with a smile, "Let's follow Brother Huzi. Sooner or later, we'll be able to live a good life with a wife and children and a warm bed!"
In just a few words, Zhou Yunshu revealed all the secrets of Hu Zi and the other two. The man who was said to have gone to the toilet heard the noise and rushed over drunkenly and swearing.
But before he could rush to Zhou Yunshu, Hu Zi had already run over to stop him, and explained the origins of Zhou Yunshu and her group.
The man seemed to be a manager or something. He sobered up a little when he saw the token in Zhou Yunshu's hand, but when he heard that Zhou Yunshu could get a position as a yamen runner, he felt like he was dreaming.
Isn’t this a piece of cake?
He knew that the county government was recruiting yamen runners!
In order not to offend the "big man" from the county government, the man kicked Hu Zi and asked him and the other two men to move the grain quickly, while he himself acted like a good boy next to Zhou Yunshu.
While Zhou Yunshu was perfunctorily answering the man, she watched as everyone filled five mule carts and a horse carriage with grain.
"Sir, we are done!" Du Mazi asked for credit.
Zhou Yunshu pointed at the two carts and said, "Full."
Wei Zhong frowned, "But we..."
Zhou Yunshu was of course aware of his concerns, so she pointed at Hu Zi and the other two and said to the man, "They look quite strong, so is it okay for them to help transport some food?"
After hearing what Zhou Yunshu said, the man felt that there was nothing wrong with her, otherwise she would not dare to use her own people.
The man patted his chest and said, "Of course, no problem, sir, you can order me around!"
When Zhou Yunshu and the others were about to leave, Wei Zhong was about to raise his whip when he heard someone shout from behind, "Wait!"
Du Mazi swallowed nervously and thought: Damn, no one will find out!
