"Yesterday?"
"Yes, it was yesterday. When we were waiting for Li Erniu yesterday, we happened to see them entering the city. It is not difficult to guess that we will definitely meet them today."
This explanation is reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.
Mr. Wan San always felt that it was not that simple, but he did not intend to dig deeper.
Everyone has their own secrets, there is no need to know everything.
In life, it is rare to be confused.
At the same time, on the official road leading to Linzhou Prefecture, ragged people with their hands and feet tied were walking forward one after another.
There were thugs constantly urging them on, and anyone who fell behind would be whipped by the thugs.
"Hurry up, we must get to Wangjia Village today."
"Anyone who dares to slow down the process will be chopped off and fed to the dogs."
Even though their legs were weak, these slaves did not dare to stop for a moment because they kept their words.
Su Xiaozhong rode a horse and walked at the front of the team, while Li Xing, the team leader who had recruited him, was still walking behind, responsible for guarding the slaves.
Li Xing's subordinate looked at Su Xiaozhong in front of him and felt jealous, so he walked to Li Xing's side.
"Brother Li, we all misjudged him. We thought Su Zhong was honest and simple, but we didn't expect him to be ungrateful."
Li Xing didn't say anything, but his face looked unhappy.
No one wants to see that his former subordinates have become the favorites of the second shopkeeper in the blink of an eye and surpass themselves.
Humph, I really don’t know whether it’s his luck or his cunningness and planning that led to this.
No matter which one it was, it made him very unhappy.
"This Su Zhong is really a piece of shit, trying to curry favor with the second shopkeeper. Brother Li, he is clearly stepping on you to climb up."
Li Xing turned his head and glared at the other person fiercely.
"That's because he has the ability. If you have his ability, you can also climb up."
The man laughed dryly, "Haha, Brother Li, you must be joking. I don't have that ability."
"Hmph." Li Xing flicked his sleeves and left.
After walking a few steps, his face became more gloomy and terrifying.
He was right about one thing: he had indeed misjudged Su Zhong.
I used to think that the other person was honest and simple, but I never expected that in the blink of an eye he would become a favorite of the second shopkeeper.
Su Xiaozhong felt an unfriendly gaze staring at him from behind.
He turned his head seemingly unintentionally, and when he met Li Xing's eyes, he immediately gave him a kind and honest smile. He looked so honest and simple, as if he was completely unaware that he had offended someone.
Su Xiaozhong waved at him with such enthusiasm that people who didn't know the truth would only think that the two of them had a close relationship.
Li Xing suppressed his nausea and smiled back at him.
When Su Xiaozhong turned around, the smile on Li Xing's face suddenly disappeared.
Su Xiaozhong was different. He still smiled and turned his head to look at the people around him. "Second Brother Ma, can't I let Brother Li Xing ride my horse? Brother Li Xing has done me a favor. I feel uneasy when he walks downstairs."
The tall and thin man named Erma glanced at him and said, "Li Xing is not a good guy. Don't let him sell you out and then just count the money. If you really want him to ride a horse, then go ahead."
Su Xiaozhong seemed to have received an order. He happily dismounted and waited for Li Xing.
As soon as Li Xing arrived, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Li, please get on the horse and ride for a while. I'll take care of it for you."
“Isn’t this bad?”
"fine."
Under Su Xiaozhong's enthusiastic invitation, Li Xing reluctantly took up the task.
After a day's walking, his legs could no longer bear it, but his status was too low to afford a horse.
Su Xiaozhong took over his job and chatted enthusiastically with the brothers around him, saying all kinds of irrelevant things.
Li Xing looked at Su Xiaozhong who was working loyally for him in the rear and suddenly felt guilty.
He used to think that Su Xiaozhong was not a good person, but now it seems that he was narrow-minded.
No, it's all the fault of that gossiper.
Just when Li Xing was feeling guilty, the second shopkeeper came hurriedly from the back and saw Su Xiaozhong working diligently, while Li Xing, who was supposed to stay in that position, was riding a horse and looking very comfortable.
The second shopkeeper frowned slightly. This Li Xing was becoming more and more outrageous.
Su Xiaozhong had already noticed that the second shopkeeper had arrived, but he pretended to know nothing and continued doing what he was supposed to do.
When the second shopkeeper walked past him, he caught a glimpse of his expression out of the corner of his eye and knew that this time he had won again.
He now seems to be a favorite of the second manager, but in fact he is nothing and has no real power at all. However, after killing Li Xing, he may have a chance.
As long as he becomes a powerful figure in the organization, he will be able to move more freely and will not be constantly watched.
"Second shopkeeper."
"Second shopkeeper."
As they spoke one by one, Li Xing was so frightened that he quickly called out, "Second Shopkeeper."
The second shopkeeper patted Li Xing on the shoulder and said, "Li Xing, you are very good. How about this, you stay by my side from now on, and the work in your hands will be handed over to Su Zhong."
Li Xing was stunned for a second, and then he was terrified, "Second Shopkeeper, I..."
The second shopkeeper squinted and glanced at him coldly, "Why, do you have any objections to my arrangement?"
"No, no problem."
Soon Su Xiaozhong found out that he would take over Li Xing's job and be in charge of twenty younger brothers.
The twenty younger brothers, knowing that their superiors had been replaced, came one by one to flatter Su Xiaozhong.
Su Xiaozhong waved his hand, "You and I are brothers, we all work for the second shopkeeper, there is no distinction between you and me, big or small. Please don't call me like that, it's too distant."
"Brother Su, when we get to Wangjia Village, we'll set up a table for you to celebrate."
Su Xiaozhong waved his hands repeatedly, "Absolutely not! How can I let you guys spend money? I should be the one to arrange it. When we get to the capital, I will get the money and then treat you guys."
"Everyone, please go back to your seats and don't delay anything."
The crowd dispersed.
Li Xing watched it from beginning to end and was very angry.
This Su Zhong is really lucky!
If he hadn't known that the second shopkeeper's return date was uncertain and that Su Zhong didn't have the ability to reach out to the second shopkeeper, he would have suspected that this person was deliberately designing to frame him.
Wangjiacun
Everyone had rested, but Su Xiaozhong couldn't sleep, so he walked towards the only house in the village where the oil lamp was lit.
As I approached, I heard several voices talking in the room.
"I just received a message from the higher-ups, ordering us to find a group of people."
"Who?" the second shopkeeper asked.
"In Xinghua Village, Dongtu County, Meizhou, there is a man named Yang Shu. He is five feet tall, sturdy, and has a huge appetite."
Xinghua Village!
Su Xiaozhong's pupils shrank slightly. That was not his eldest daughter's uncle's house.
Oh no! If they are targeted by this group of people, the girls will definitely be in danger.
It seems that we have to find time to kill all of this group of people.
Before that, we need to find out who these people are working for.
As soon as Su Xiaozhong turned around, he saw a man standing a few steps away, staring at him with a smile.
