Jia Youcai said with a smile: "How come you figured it out? Do you want to report it to the higher-ups so they can investigate?"
Er Mazi waved his hands hurriedly: "Sir, I didn't see anything. Everyone on the street knows this Xueru Silk Shop. They are all honest merchants. They pay taxes on time and manage every aspect clearly. They are simply excellent model merchants in our Daqianmen area.
There's no need to investigate anything. I guess Boss Chen was dyeing cloth when Zhao Tianhu broke in and blackmailed him, so he accidentally spilled the dye on the table.
Today, we brothers didn't see the street, and it was all our fault. Master, please give us a chance and let us make up for it.
We brothers will help you clean up the house right away, and then you can be magnanimous and give us a chance to atone for our sins, is that okay with you?"
Jia Youcai looked Ermaizi up and down in surprise. What a talented guy he is. He can read people's expressions better than the dogs in his Jiajia Village.
The dogs in Jiajia Village would avoid Jia Youcai when they saw him, otherwise they would be slapped. They were all bullies who only feared the strong and bullied the weak.
Jia Youcai smiled and nodded: "Okay, that's interesting. You are very smart. I think you are a smart person. You just need to know what to see and what to say.
Grandpa won't make things difficult for you. We all just want to make a living. So, just find a mop and a rag to clean the table and the floor.
See the cabinet next to you? Each of you take a few feet of silk and go back to make clothes for your family. All of it will be your reward. If you have any news in the future, just let me know at the tavern in front."
After hearing what Jia Youcai said, Er Mazi was somewhat happy. This old man did not make things difficult for these low-ranking patrolmen. He even gave them gifts while they were working. He was very open and honest in his work.
He quickly arranged for several brothers to start working, and he walked to Jia Youcai, looked at him cautiously, and whispered: "Master, you are going to kill Zhao Tianhu, you'd better hide quickly.
The people behind Zhao Tianhu are not to be trifled with. They have been with the Japanese since they occupied 49% of the territory until now.
He has not only Zhao Tianhu under his command, but also the three brothers of the Ma family who sell opium, guns and ammunition in East City, and Liu Sanniang, the leader of the Green Gang who runs a brothel in West City.
"Thank you, Master, for looking up to us, my brothers. I advise you to stay out of the spotlight. I think the situation in Sijiu City will change soon. When you come back, you will still be a scoundrel."
Jia Youcai was even more surprised. He really didn't realize that this guy Ermaizi was not only a wonderful person, but also smart and able to see the situation outside clearly.
You can make friends with real old hands at the bottom. After all, to get ahead in the society, you have to have more people and more money. However, in Jia Youcai's eyes, smart people are much more important than money.
If you lose money, you can "borrow" it, but it's not certain whether you can find talent. After all, although Jia Youcai has a bit of luck in traveling through time, it's pointless to be alone, so he has to find some useful younger brothers.
It's still the Republic of China now. Even though there are only two months left, it's still the Republic of China. You have to look presentable when you go out, just like the dandy young masters in the Republic of China in the storybooks.
When you go out, you need to have thugs to protect you, companions who flatter you, and a few errand runners to help you.
When I return home, I need a housekeeper and an accountant. It would also be reasonable to marry a few young ladies and have more children.
The young lady must be accompanied by a pair of twin maids to serve her, so the two of them just lay down on the recliner.
Two maids served each other, massaging her legs and shoulders. No one was allowed to tease the maids. At night, they also had to help the young mistress stay in the room. This was the life a master should live.
Could it be that after traveling back in time, I have to eat cornmeal steamed buns? That's not even as good as the food in modern prisons.
Jia Youcai patted Ermazi's shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, that's thoughtful. I recognize you as my friend. Tell me who lives behind Zhao Tianhu. I'll definitely come to make friends with him someday. I'll have to prepare a generous gift to be worthy of his status."
