Chapter 121 Mr. Wu
"Boss, think about it carefully, or talk it over with someone. You won't lose out if you cooperate with my master."
The man did not forget his purpose before leaving.
Rong Bingwu thanked the other party and said that they were from a small family and should just earn some money and live a peaceful life. They should not dream of climbing up the social ladder and seeking benefits. They did not dare to have such a dream.
The man thought he was moved and scared, and was about to make another attempt, but then he remembered that the other party had just said he was a county magistrate, so he decided not to act rashly and decided to observe first.
After sending the person away, Rong Bingwu's face turned dark.
These guys saw that their business was doing well and wanted to get a piece of the pie.
Oh, no, this is not a question of getting a share of the pie, it's about taking away their pot and, by the way, overturning the bowls of rice that have been prepared in advance.
"Dad, what should we do now?" Lan Xin and the others were busy in the backyard at the time, but after so long, they also understood what had happened before.
In fact, they had considered the possibility of encountering such a situation before they even opened the business, and at that time, everyone worked together to figure out how to deal with it.
Even if you are mentally prepared, you can't help but feel angry and upset when it really happens.
Although Rong Bingwu was angry, he didn't really take these people seriously. He waved his hand and said, "Is everything packed? It's closed."
Seeing him like this, they must have made up their minds, so they stopped asking questions, checked the doors and windows, made sure they were closed properly, and then got on the carriage from the back door and left.
When Rong Bingwu said he was going to see the county magistrate, he was not just saying it casually.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the county government office. He gave a few instructions to the people in the carriage, jumped off the carriage, and entered the government office.
"What did you think Dad was doing at the government office?" Rong Ziyu opened the curtains and looked in the direction of the government office. "Is he talking about those people?"
Lu Yao and the others shook their heads. If the other party didn't say anything, they couldn't guess for sure. They would know when he came out.
Rong Ziyu lowered the curtains and thought back to the people who had come to the store to cause trouble. He frowned and said, "What should I do if those people don't give up?"
Lu Yao and Rong Ziyu sat in opposite seats. She lifted a corner of the car window curtain and glanced in a certain direction, her lips curled slightly. "Those people won't dare to come anytime soon."
No matter who my second uncle went to the county government to find or what he wanted to do, those people would be cautious.
after all,
Ordinary people didn't even dare to pass through the gate of the county government office, but the owner of Rongji not only walked towards the county government office without any care, but the guards also let him in. This is not something that anyone can do without connections and relationships.
He slapped the younger brother who followed him and said viciously, "What are you looking at? Go back!"
The master is still waiting for their good news. Now it seems that Rong Ji is not simple and they cannot understand him.
The man's master was a wealthy family in Xikang County. In his early years, he was just a small-time gangster who roamed the streets stealing things and followed his boss to collect protection fees in the county town.
Later, the gangster disappeared for a while. Everyone thought Xikang County would be peaceful from then on, but unexpectedly, the gangster came back and opened a shop specializing in making some special food.
The business of the shop was very good. Later, he opened some other shops one after another. Each shop had its own characteristics. Gradually, he became a wealthy man in Xikang County, and his past was gradually forgotten.
He has a group of people working for him, all of whom are idle second-rate people from the city or surrounding villages, and they specialize in helping him do some shameful things.
The man who took the lead to Rongji was called Li Ergou. He had been following his master Wu Yuanwai for several years. During these years, he was always at his beck and call. Because he was capable, he was highly regarded by Wu Yuanwai. Many "important" things were assigned to him personally.
For example, bringing warmth to Rongji and "purchasing" Rongji's recipes and industries.
But they didn't expect that they, who had always been successful, would hit a wall today.
If Rong Ji really knew the county magistrate, then they would have to make a long-term plan.
Hearing Li Ergou's words, Wu Yuanwai's eyes darkened. "Are you saying that the man entered the county government office? Or did he enter through the main gate of Yanmen?"
Li Ergou nodded repeatedly: "I saw it clearly."
A flash of jealousy flashed across Wu Yuanwai's eyes. For so many years, he had never missed paying his filial tribute every year and thought he was very familiar with those people in the yamen. But until now, every time he went to the county yamen, he entered through the side door and had never entered through the main gate openly. How could he remain calm?
He took a deep breath and asked again, "How long have you been gone?"
"This..." Li Ergou hesitated and stammered, "I saw him enter the government office and knew this was a serious matter, so I reported it to you immediately."
Mr. Wu's voice was a little cold: "So, you didn't even wait for that person to come out?"
"Little one..."
"Don't make excuses for me, Master!"
Li Ergou wanted to explain but was interrupted by Wu Yuanwai. These excuses were just what he had left over.
"I'll go find out right now," Li Ergou said hastily, making amends. "I'll definitely find out everything this time."
"Remember what you said!" Mr. Wu waved his hand and asked people to leave.
Li Ergou left the study quickly as if he had been pardoned. Only after he left the study and closed the door did he wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Don't be fooled by the master's usual gentleness, that's because no one dares to offend him. If he gets angry, his aura is not something that ordinary people can withstand.
The younger brother waiting at the door saw him come out and hurried to greet him: "Boss, where are we going now?"
Li Ergou slapped his younger brother: "Do I need to tell you? Of course, we need to check on the situation of those people from Rongji!"
His younger brother was too stupid. If he hadn't considered that the other party was still useful, he wouldn't have let this person follow him.
Li Ergou and his younger brother went straight to the vicinity of the county government office, hoping that the Rong family had not left, but they were destined to be disappointed.
"Big brother, what should we do now?" The younger brother looked at the boss with an ugly face and felt a little worried.
"Go find someone, do you need me to teach you?" Li Ergou was very annoyed and roared viciously.
"Yes, it's Big Brother," the younger brother replied timidly, then asked cautiously, "Where should we look for it?"
"You ask me, I..." Who should I ask?
He swallowed the last few words.
I had briefly researched this family before and learned that they were exiled prisoners. Several of them had been rehabilitated, but so what? Being ordinary didn't mean they could regain their former glory.
It's not that they are self-righteous. They have also investigated and understood the situation of this family in the past few days.
They found that these people did not make any movement after being rehabilitated. Not only were they not eager to leave like other people, but they continued to do what they had to do as usual and did not seem to want to leave at all. The only difference was that a relative had been exiled here, and they opened a shop together to make money.
If he was really a remarkable person, how could he continue to stay in this remote place?
Only after understanding the situation clearly and knowing that these people have no strong backing and are sure that they will not cause trouble will they take action.
I just didn't expect that this family is still so tough even in this situation.
Humph, just wait, there will be a time to deal with them.
Li Ergou thought about it and decided to ask the people in the yamen first whether they had any relationship with the county magistrate and what the relationship was like. He would know by asking.
However, when he thought of those petty officials, he couldn't help but tighten his purse.
However, Lu Yao and others left the government office and went straight to the market to get food before returning to Fushan Village.
Because of the delay, I got home at noon.
The food was ready, but none of the three children, including Huaibai, Haohao and Yueyue, started eating. They were all waiting for Lu Yao and her group to come back.
Rong Bingwen and his colleagues were studying the waterwheel in the yard next door. After a period of hard work, they made a waterwheel that was larger than the model but smaller than the real thing. According to the progress, it could be completed today. They planned to take it to the lakeside to try it out later when the sun was shining brightly at noon and there was no one outside. If they were sure there were no problems, they could start making a large one.
Because they were about to witness the results of their hard work, the Pu family father and son did not go back. They were doing the final finishing work in the yard.
Liu Manyun brought her three children to play in the yard of the Rong family. Knowing the importance of the waterwheel, no one disturbed them.
Haohao and the other two were not in the mood to play because they had to wait for their mother to come back. They sat at the small table and read the books specially prepared for them.
"Brother, why hasn't Mom come back yet?" Little Xinyue lay on the table, her brows furrowed. "They would have come back by this time before."
Huai Bai, who was standing by, said with a smile, "Can Yueyue tell the time now?"
Little Xinyue rubbed her stomach. She was very hungry, so of course it had been a long time.
But she wasn't hot or hungry, so she could hold on for a while.
Xiaoyun rubbed his sister's head and said, "Brother, can I get you something to eat?"
Lu Tao and his family prepare a lot of cakes and snacks for the family every day so that adults and children can find something to eat if they are hungry.
"No," Yueyue shook her head, "Mom and the others will be back soon."
As he spoke, he habitually looked towards the village entrance.
As if to confirm her words, a familiar carriage appeared at the exit.
Xiao Xin stood up joyfully and shouted to her brother happily, "Mom and the others are back."
Not only Xiao Yunhao, but even Huaibai, who was always reserved and quiet, stood up happily.
He likes the feeling of picking up his mother and grandfather every day.
In the next yard, the small waterwheel was finally finished, and they agreed to go test it after dinner.
Mr. Pu did not stay and planned to go back to eat first.
Rong Bingwen asked them to stay: "The food is ready, please eat here."
Mr. Pu and Pu Zhiwen shook their heads and refused at the same time, "It's already been prepared at home."
They already feel bad for doing so little work for their wages every day, and now they have to eat, which is absolutely unacceptable.
Seeing that the two men insisted, Rong Bingwen thought that as long as they waited for the water to be ready, they would also be able to make a profit from it, so he stopped forcing them.
The carriage slowly stopped at the doorstep. Lu Yao and the others got off the carriage and walked into the house surrounded by their children.
Everyone was hungry, so Qin Tianxiao brought out a basin of water. Everyone washed their hands and went straight to the table to eat.
At this time, Liu Manyun asked, "Is business not as good as before today?"
Ye Jiayue responded: "Business is good."
"Then why..." so late?
It would have been fine if they hadn't asked, but when it came to this, several people had something to say.
Rong Ziyu said angrily: "Mom, you don't know, we met a bad guy today."
"Bad guy?"
When Huai Baihaohao and Yueyue heard Rong Ziyu's words, they raised their heads at the same time.
