Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 289

[Chapter 285 Chen Luo: I Only Have One Great Confucian Accompanying Me!]

Leya City, Pingbo Wharf.

Several porters sneaked behind the pile of goods, looked around vigilantly, and then took out crumpled bank notes from their pockets and handed them to one of the leaders.

“Brother Chu, this is my share!”

“This is my share, and I have saved it for half a year!”

“Brother Chu, this is mine!”

At this moment, an old voice sounded: “Everyone is here!” What are you doing?”

Everyone was startled, turned around, and saw an old man with an old face walking over with a dry pipe in his hand.

“Father…” Brother Chu lowered his head and called out when he saw the old man, and the others also respectfully called “Uncle Chu”.

His name is Chu Xiong, and he is the foreman of the Pingbo Wharf. He is well-known among these porters. Although he is sixty years old, his momentum has not diminished. Fold the bank notes and read them one by one.

“Ten taels…”

“Ten taels…”

“Tsk tsk tsk, there is actually a twenty taels…”

Chu Xiong glanced at the group of young men in their early twenties: “I can’t tell, my subordinates are all Rich son!”

Chu Pingbo stepped forward and explained: “Father, this is the money they saved…”

Chu Xiong pulled out a cigarette stick and hit Chu Pingbo, cursing while smoking: “Of course I know these are Their hard-earned money!”

“You bastard! You actually lied to your brother!”

“Do you know how much they have to carry to earn a tael of silver!”

“You bastard, you bastard, you Little bastard, you gave birth to a son without an ass hole…”

While hiding, Chu Pingbo shouted: “Father, stop scolding, you’ve scolded yourself. You guys, come over here and stop me!”

Only then did the stunned porters come to their senses, and stepped forward seven hands Pulling Chu Xiong back with all his might, Chu Pingbo rubbed the place where he was beaten, and muttered, “Father, you are really good. Apart from yourself, you even scolded your grandson in the future!”

“Bah, bah, bah, bah !” Chu Xiong spat three times on the ground, “You heartless, let me ask you, did you owe any debt outside and came here to cheat your brother’s hard-earned money!”

Chu Pingbo looked helpless: “Dad No matter how wicked I am, I will never lie to my brother’s money. You guys, please help me!”

The porters who hugged Chuxiong immediately reacted and explained one after another—

“Uncle Chu, no. Brother Chu is You want to help us earn money.”

“Yes, yes, Brother Chu said, invest ten taels this year, and you will get it back next year, with interest.”

“Brother Chu said, make sure to make money!”

Chu Xiong’s expression became even more ugly, and he raised Struggling to break free from the crowd while holding the cigarette stick, he yelled: “I’m fucking your mother!

” Damn you bastard !”

Chu Pingbo also looked helpless: “What did you all explain!”

“Father, it’s this, this…” As he said, Chu Pingbo took out a grass newspaper from his arms, Handing it to Chu Xiong, Chu Xiong took the newspaper and smashed it to pieces, “Your father is illiterate, don’t fool me!”

Chu Pingbo looked at the shreds of paper flying all over the sky, wanting to cry without tears, but seeing the swearing Chu Xiong, who was not stopping, could only use his trump card –

“Father, I am not your own!”

Chu Xiong and everyone were stunned, and the scene fell silent.

Chu Pingbo quickly explained: “Father, that’s the prospectus of Leya Seaport. It says, ten taels of silver per share. The principal will be refunded at the end of the year, and dividends will be collected every year. Isn’t this a business that does not lose money?”

“There is the big seal of Marquis Wu on it. Marquis Wu will never lie to us little people.”

Chu Xiong calmed down a little when he heard Chu Pingbo’s words, and twisted left and right. Chu Pingbo signaled everyone, Only then did everyone let go. Chu Xiong picked up the cigarette stick, and Chu Pingbo subconsciously wanted to run away, but Chu Xiong just sucked dryly on his mouth and squatted down.

“Really?”

“Really! If you can’t do it, I’ll find another newspaper!”

Chu Xiong poured some tobacco into the pot, Chu Pingbo lit the pot quickly, Chu Xiong said “Smash it” a few times, After exhaling a puff of green smoke, he said slowly, “Return the money to the big guys, we won’t participate in this matter.”

“Why?” Chu Xiong opened his eyes wide, “Father, are you afraid of those big families? It’s okay , Master Hou said not to publish the name, just give a certificate. I know someone, so I can secretly connect with you!”

Chu Xiong called everyone to sit down, and sighed: “You guys… are too young. Marquis Wu is too young, Do you really think that after dealing with a few wealthy families, you can build up the harbor?”

Chu Pingbo looked surprised: “Otherwise?”

Chu Xiong took another puff from his cigarette holder: “Our harbor in Leya City has been abandoned, so why? Are there so many seafoods on the market every year?”

Chu Pingbo was taken aback, then looked at Chu Xiong: “Father, what do you mean…”

Chu Xiong tapped the soles of his feet with a cigarette pot: “You also have the benefits of seafood. Clearly. So the enemies of the seaport, besides those on land, are also at sea!”

“I heard from a great man that behind those people at sea are powerful forces that Leya City doesn’t want to provoke!”

“So, let’s see Let’s see.”

Everyone fell silent when they heard Chu Xiong’s words.

At this time, Chu Xiong looked at Chu Pingbo again: “There is another matter.”

“Father, what is it?”

“You son of a bitch, whose breed is it!”

“Ah? Dad, listen to me, I…ah, dad, stop beating me, I am my own…ah! Dad, I was wrong…ah, dad, I…ah…”

…

the He family mansion.   Why don’t you mean sitting alone in the backyard, pouring yourself a drink, and an old lady came slowly, why didn’t you mean get

up and salute quickly: “Mother.”

Brother?”

Why don’t you pour a glass of wine for the old woman: “I asked Steward Yu to deliver a letter. Brother said some time ago that he was bored in Bihai and wanted to go ashore for a walk.” The

old woman took a sip Wine, said: “Is there any danger?”

Why not shake his head: “According to the report, that Marquis Wu brought a Confucian who had just been promoted this time, and he must have thought that Leya City was not in danger.

” Here, why don’t you let out a sigh: “My son underestimated the enemy. At first, I thought that Wuhou was nothing more than a nobler status and a greater reputation, so I regarded him as an ordinary disciple of a sage, thinking that he would be no match for the general situation.” Don’t bow your head. After all, back then, when King Jing was still the heir, he also tried his best to protect Cangwu’s shipping, and he still failed to achieve his wish.”

“But I didn’t expect him to have such a big influence in less than half a year. You can create a big trend by yourself.”

“It’s like playing chess. Although we have the upper hand, he is unreasonable and plays several moves in a row. This is something that my son did not expect.” The

old woman shook her head: “No Same. King Jing wanted the whole shipping line back then, but this Lord Hou only wanted Leya, so the counterattack he received was different.”

“Those inland families are naturally willing to sell their favors.”

Why not just nod: “Mother is right. That’s why I ordered my eldest brother to do it this time. The purpose is to frighten the people and families

in Leya City .” Nothing.”

“After all, every family has a share in the group of siren soldiers under the elder brother!” The

old woman nodded slightly, and said again: “Remind your elder brother not to hurt Marquis Wu. The bamboo forest lineage is a bit unreasonable. ”

Your eldest brother is at the critical moment of promotion and needs a lot of resources. After this time, tell those families that my He family will increase the share of the seafood. Let them not forget who it is They have kept their way of getting rich!”

Why not nod: “Naturally. If the eldest brother can advance to the second rank like mother, my He family can make a big step forward.” The

old woman smiled lightly: “Don’t worry, your eldest brother may It’s not your elder brother, but as long as I’m here, he will still recognize the He family.”

“Son, I don’t dare to think about it.” The

old woman waved her hand casually, and her figure disappeared. .

Why not just raised his head and poured himself another glass of wine.

“Mother really loves elder brother more.” Why don’t you sigh in your heart, “After all, elder brother and mother are of the same family.”

No one knows that the crocodile sage who is tossing the river in the sea is actually his mother’s illegitimate child!

…

The sky was clear and the moon was bright, and Chen Luo came to the abandoned harbor of Leya City.

A man dressed like a master craftsman came up to meet him: “Master Hou, why are you here? It’s too dangerous.”

Chen Luo glanced at the other party, and was immediately amused.

This is one of the twenty great Confucianists who stayed behind in Dongcang City.

Chen Luo looked around again, and the other masters who were carefully studying the terrain were all in disguise.

Among the twenty great Confucian scholars, Wu Litao attracted eighteen of them in one go.

If you get closer, you can hear their discussions have nothing to do with the construction of the harbor.

“Hey, can those sea monsters eat?”

“Why can’t you eat it, just treat it as a fish. The old man told you, if the Yuluo clan hadn’t become an ally, I would want to get one and eat it.

” The taboo of great Confucianism!”

“What…what are you afraid of, just say that the city lord invited us to eat.”

“It makes sense!”

Chen Luo pretended not to hear their intentional voice, and walked to a tall stone tablet. On one side of the stele, the names of various families are densely engraved, and there is a pattern behind each name.

These are the family seals of each family, and if you use the other party’s family seal without permission, it is a big enmity. Therefore, the engraving of family seals also shows the authenticity of the support of each family on the stone tablet.

Xiang Jixuan sat beside the stone tablet, looked at Chen Luo, said with a hoarse voice, “Master Hou, leave this place to us, you can go back and rest.”

Chen Luo raised his finger to the sky, and Xiang Jixuan knew it was fog Li Tao guarded in secret and didn’t say any more.

Chen Luo looked up at the tall stone tablet, and sighed: “There are sixteen Confucian scholars in Leya City, including three of the second grade. How could they let that crocodile make waves?”

Xiang Jixuan knew that Chen Luo’s words were not true . Asking himself, he saw the stranger behind Chen Luo wearing a bamboo hat, and a strange voice came from under the bamboo hat.

“First, the sea is vast, and the crocodile will flee if it is defeated. No one dares to go deep into the blue sea to pursue and kill it.

”

“Thirdly, the crocodile dragon has the blood of the Canglong, and no one wants to offend the Canglong family.”

“Fourthly, it depends on the interests. Why not live in a wealthy family while suffering the common people? Even my family has benefited a lot from it. ”

Chen Luo chuckled, and squinted at the person behind him: “You are quite daring to speak. So I was used as a knife by you.”

The man bowed slightly, and said respectfully: “Master Hou is a world-renowned tool, and I dare not hold on to it in the future if he wants to rectify the world. It’s just a coincidence, and it’s my luck in three lifetimes to see Lord Hou’s majesty. ”

“Well.” Chen Luo nodded, “If you can talk, talk more.”

At this moment, a dark cloud covered the bright moon, and the sound of the waves on the sea became urgent.

Xiang Jixuan stood up, looked at the dark sea, and said, “Here we come…”

What are you eating!
