Chapter 175： Mysterious mask man

With outsiders around, Zhao Chen couldn't hold the obedient little guy in his arms and kissed him, so he only pulled his hand.

Upon seeing this, the middleman smiled and sighed: "Young Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao are really affectionate."

Chen Jiu was so embarrassed by him that he dropped his head slightly and did not dare to look directly at them.

Zhao Chen smiled calmly.

The house has been settled, and Zhao Chen signed an agreement with the Zhongren and paid the deposit. The rest of the matter only needs to be handed over to the Zhongren, and the middleman can help with the land deed.

The house matter was settled, and Zhao Chen took Chen Jiu back to the restaurant.

After a rest in the restaurant for one night, early the next morning, Zhao Chen retired from the restaurant’s room, took Chen Jiu and Sun Jin for breakfast in the restaurant, and rode a carriage to the place where Zhao Chen bought it last time.

Yesterday Zhao Chen sent a letter to Guan Shi, saying that he would bring his wife to Zhuangzi today.

Guan Zhao didn't dare to neglect, and he led someone to the door of Zhuangzi to wait early. Seeing the two came, he hurried forward to salute, "Master, madam."

Zhao Chen nodded, exchanged a few words with him, and entered Zhuangzi.

"Guan Shi, what's the situation in Zhuangshi recently?" On the way, Zhao Chen led Chen Jiu and Guan Shi Zhao forward, looking at the rice where Zhuangzi had grown ears, and asked.

Guan Zhao talked about the crops in Zhuangzi beforehand, and then talked about people.

"The people in the yard are pretty safe. At first there were a few noisy people. They were also safe after being warned. Now they are all doing things according to the son's instructions, and there is no daring to make trouble."

Zhao Chen nodded and began to ask about other things.

Guanshi Zhao took them to the main courtyard. After they were settled, he brought a booklet and said to Zhao Chen: "My son, the situation of these people has been recorded by your subordinates according to your instructions. You Look."

Zhao Chen took the booklet and opened it. The purpose was to enter the elegant lower case characters, which clearly recorded the performance of everyone here during this period, and the more special places were marked with a cinnabar pen.

After turning over the booklet, Zhao Chen probably understood the situation, remembered a few people, and asked: "Guan Shi, who is responsible for writing this?"

When Guan Shi heard his question, he knew that the person in charge of recording had caught Zhao Chen's eyes, and he smiled: "It's Jiang Duruo. She writes well, and she's also peaceful, but she's a little colder. ."

Zhao Chen had a bit of an impression of this person. When the contract was signed with this group of people, the woman who was the first to ask questions was originally from a scholarly family, but she became a plaything of Master Zhang because of her aunt's frame, and she persisted in surviving. The main reason is to find revenge for her aunt who harmed her one day.

Later, the Zhang family was ransacked, and Master Zhang was asked to cut her. She left the devil's den, but was almost homeless.

After being brought here by Zhao Chen, she came here to express her gratitude. She was a woman who knew how to measure.

Guanshi Zhao said that, he must have a good impression of her.

Zhao Chen nodded and nodded Jiang Duruo. There are seven other people who have also been framed by those who have intentions and have not yet reported their grievances. People who have performed well during this period of time come out and say to Guan Zhao: "You let these people come over."

Guan Shi knew that he was going to promote those people, and quickly said, "Okay."

Soon, Guan Shi went to call someone.

After a quarter of an hour, all the people named were brought over.

They were pointed out by Guan Shi on the way here. At this time, they were naturally ten thousand careful. Although they were slightly taken aback when they saw the faces of Zhao Chen and Chen Jiu, they quickly realized that they all saluted politely: " Son, madam."

Then he lowered his head without squinting, and let the person sitting on the main seat look at them.

Zhao Chen looked at them for a while, and saw that they were still calm. Only then did Guan Zhao go down and say to them: "I know you are all in hatred. Now there is a chance for you to go back and avenge yourself. Are you willing? "

Everyone was shocked, and subconsciously looked up at him.

Zhao Chen was not in a hurry, drinking tea quietly, waiting for a response.

Jiang Duruo and others couldn't believe it at first, but thinking of what Zhao Chen asked them to do these days, they felt that Zhao Chen had this ability.

They will become like this now, and they are all harmed by those people.

If there is a chance for revenge, why would they not want it?

Jiang Duruo remembered that she was **** by her aunt and gave it to Master Zhang. The father who petted her concubine was not anxious at all. Instead, he nodded and bowed to Master Zhang like a dog. He continued to please the scene, clenched his fists slightly, and stepped forward. , Bowed his head and said: "The son, the servant is willing."

After a pause, he asked, "I don't know what the son needs a servant for? As long as he can get revenge, the servant is willing to do anything!"

"Don't worry, you won't be too embarrassed, let alone treat you like the Zhang family." Zhao Chen put down his teacup and said.

Jiang Duruo breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately knelt on his knees: "But according to the son's orders!"

Others also echoed.

Zhao Chen nodded and said unhurriedly, "Starting tomorrow, for the next seven days, you will walk around Zhuangzi ten times a day, staying where you can, and going back to work if you can't."

Jiang Duruo and others didn't know why, but they didn't dare to violate his meaning.

"Yes, son."

Zhao Chen turned his head to look at Ma Hao and Li Xiaotang: "Ma Hao, Xiaotang, you two are responsible for supervising them. Don't be resigned."

These days Zhao Chen told them a lot. Ma Hao and Li Xiaotang now also know that Zhao Chen is in urgent need of employment. These people may join their small group in the future. They dare not neglect, and said quickly: "Yes, son!"

Seven days later, of the eight people who participated in the training, only six remained. The other two couldn't bear the hardship, so they went back to work.

In these days, Zhao Chen had already obtained the land lease of the Fucheng Mansion, but there are still many places in the mansion that need to be repaired, and it may take a while to move in.

When asking someone to repair the house, Zhao Chen went to see shopkeeper Yan and delivered the jewelry accumulated during this period of time. At the same time, he cooperated with shopkeeper Yan to open a Shiwen shop near Zhenbao Pavilion.

The business model of Shiwenpu is similar to that of Shiyuandian. Everything in the store is within ten cents.

Zhao Chen deliberately selected the things to sell, and did not conflict with the surrounding shops, and the competition would not be too great.

As for the future, it is difficult to say.

The shopkeeper at Shiwenpu is a right-hand man under Shopkeeper Yan. The guy also invited him from Fucheng. Zhao Chen didn’t take much effort. He only needed to send someone some goods that only he could take out from time to time, and then sit and collect them. The money is made.

Initially paving the way for Fucheng's business, Zhao Chen said goodbye to the treasurer Yan.

After that, he used three days to pretend to send Chen Jiu back to Moshui County. In fact, he stayed in space for a few days and gave instructions to Chen Fu and Li Wu.

Three days later, he returned to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, and Sun Jin, Yang Xuan, He Dahu, Jiang Duruo, etc., plus a total of fifteen people who left the city, arrived in the large forest between Dali and Dansang in the south, and carried on the devil. training.

Five months later, the old calendar is November.

Even Dansang Country, which is located further south of Nanda Province, has entered the winter, and the breath that people breathe is full of white mist.

Dan Sangguo suffered a locust plague this fall, and a large number of crops were swallowed by locusts.

Not only did the king not open the warehouse to release food, but because of the war with the neighboring Atti State, taxation and labor were aggravated, resulting in the people's lack of livelihood and starvation. If you are lucky, you can get a full meal. If you are not lucky, you can only become food for beasts.

Today there are also a few courageous hungry people hunting in the forest, holding daggers and short bows and wooden arrows in their hands, slowly and vigilantly into the dense forest, trying to find their prey.

They were lucky. Although most of the animals outside the forest were slaughtered by people who entered the forest before, and the rest had to migrate inside the forest, they walked deep in the forest for most of the day and finally caught a litter of fat hares. .

The group of people was hungry for a long time, and they didn't care about so much. They just sat down on the spot, some of them guarded to prevent large beasts from attacking, and some of them worked together to set fire to the rabbits.

They are all familiar hands, and it didn't take long for the hares to release their scent.

"Mother, I finally got something to eat!" The headed person was wearing a tattered clothes. Even though the fire was burning at this time, the cold winter wind penetrated through the broken opening, and it was still shivering with cold.

But looking at the hare whose hands were roasted with oil, my heart became warmer again.

"Yeah, now you can only have food if you take risks." One of the guards replied, "Boss, maybe we have been in the forest, and we don't have to walk around every day."

"You are crazy!" Before the boss spoke, another companion hit him with his arm. "There is food in the forest, but there are more people eating. If there is a pack of wolves, we will be completely finished!"

"But is there any way, we can't always go back and forth."

The guard frowned, and then cursed, "Damn the king and the minister, they will enjoy themselves, regardless of whether we ordinary people live or die!"

"From ancient times to the present, when ordinary people are not living a hard life." Old Dadao, "Okay, the rabbit is cooked, let's eat first!"

He threw a rabbit leg at each of them.

The two took it quickly. The rabbit legs were half-baked, but they didn't care about that much anymore. It would be nice to eat them, so they quickly put them in their mouths and started eating.

Four rabbits and nine big men are not enough to eat.

After eating, the group of people replenished some energy, and they stood up to continue looking for food.

However, their good luck seemed to come to an end. Not long after they walked out, they found that there were green eyes staring at them in the grass, and the roots of hairs were erected.

Since the famine, they have often partnered to find food in the forest, and they have long trained a set of defense methods, but unfortunately, under the siege of more than a dozen wild wolves, any defense method is useless.

Thanks to their quick response, they temporarily avoided the first attack by the wolves.

But soon, one of them was scratched by wolf claws.

"Ah!" The old roared loudly, trying to pierce the wolf's throat with a dagger, but the wolf quickly avoided, and he only pierced one of the wolf's front legs.

"Wow!" The wolf was enraged, speeding up the killing of its prey.

The boss quickly bit his thigh, painful and sweating on his forehead.

He felt that he was going to die, but fortunately he ate the rabbit before he died, otherwise he would be too bad.

Most of his companions also thought this way, but fortunately they became a ghost.

Just when they thought they were going to see the Hades, a dozen figures appeared like ghosts. The ferocious wild wolf seemed to be just a weak hare in their hands.

Scarlet blood filled the mountains, and the boss to the old nine didn't care about the injuries on his body. They only stared wide-eyed at the dozen or so masked men who suddenly appeared in black night clothes, in horror and awe.

The author has something to say
