Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 11 Undercurrent
When he thought of this, as the saying goes, he was so bold as to be extremely lustful. Gong Tianwu's Adam's apple twitched up and down, his heart immediately became hot, and he opened the door immediately.

He was immediately surprised to find that the person standing at the door was none other than Zhou Goudan’s wife, Hu Erjie, holding a large piece of black braised meat in her right hand.

At this time, Hu Erjie's eyes were red, and she was sobbing with her head buried. There was no trace of her former pride and boldness.
At this moment, a unique scent of women's powder rushed into Gong Tianwu's nostrils, making his heart suddenly flutter.

Gong Tianwu was still a little hesitant and nervous at first, but at this moment an evil voice suddenly shouted in his mind:
"Still hesitating? It's time to be mean and shameless!!"

As soon as he thought of this, Gong Tianwu's Adam's apple twitched up and down, and his greedy eyes quickly passed over Hu Erjie's curvy figure. He immediately grabbed Hu Erjie's arm and said with a drooling face:

"Oh my, you have to trouble me to come here in person to deliver a piece of braised pork. You are such a jerk, Zhou Goudan. It's freezing cold out here. Come in and sit down."

At the same time, Gong Tianwu was also a little restless. After all, he could feel how soft Hu Erjie's arms were even through her coat.

Sister Hu shuddered all over and hastily pushed him away, then cried:

"No, don't."

At this moment, the young woman's fierceness had completely disappeared.

Gong Tianwu exerted more strength on his hands, fiercely dragged him to his side, and then lowered his voice and said viciously:
"It's the dead of night. Don't you know what Zhou Goudan meant by asking you to deliver the meat? If you make trouble again, your whole family will be killed!!"

It was obvious that Gong Tianwu was bragging at this time.

But after he resurrected Tian Dachun, he obtained most of his memories, so his personality would definitely be affected to a certain extent. Tian Dachun is a scoundrel, a hooligan, a bastard who doesn't recognize his relatives and bragging is a common occurrence!
Poor Hu Erjie, this little country woman had no knowledge. She was already extremely frightened and uneasy at home. When she was frightened, she immediately felt like urinating and her whole body went limp. She was involuntarily dragged into the gate by Gong Tianwu, and then the door was slammed shut.

As a result, in less than five minutes, the door of the Tian family was opened again. Sister Hu's face was flushed, her eyes were red and swollen, her hair was messy, and she began to walk out slowly. Her walking posture seemed a little weird.

As a result, just as she was about to go out, a hand grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back:
"Damn it! Are you in such a hurry to leave? Cook the meat for me first."

Hu Erjie screamed, her legs went limp and she was pulled back.

An hour later, Gong Tianwu tiptoed to open the door, and then prepared to go out panting.

Suddenly, a white and tender little hand reached out from behind him and grabbed his shoulder, and a lazy and charming voice was heard:

"Don't go, the meat isn't cooked yet..."

***
at the same time,

In Maoshan County,

The lights at night seem particularly bright.
In a spacious main room, there are armchairs, eight-immortals tables and other ornaments, as well as the four treasures of the study.

In the center of the main hall hangs a pair of beautiful calligraphy:

Be quiet to cultivate yourself, be frugal to cultivate virtue.

Right below the word "thrifty" is an indigo-blue square-mouthed wind-listening bottle, with a market value of four hundred and thirty silver treasures. If this money is saved, it can be enough to provide food for more than a thousand disaster victims for three months.

There are three people in this room. The one sitting at the head is Luo Jiang, and the one standing is his disciple Xie San.

Standing below was a fat man wearing a satin shirt and with a deathly pale face. He was Song Ji, the owner of the pawnshop Hengchangtai.

The floor of the main room was paved with high-quality lotus-patterned water-ground blue bricks, but there was a pool of blood in front of the blue bricks, and there were two pale fingers, which looked a little creepy.

Luo Jiang bent his fingers and tapped lightly on the coffee table next to him, making a "da da da" sound. After a long while, he said lightly:

"Song Ji, I said on the 8th of last month that I would take out a dividend, why haven't you done anything yet?"

Boss Song remained silent.

Xie Sanduan shouted:
"Song Ji, my master is asking you a question!!"

Song Ji suddenly looked up, showing a smile that was uglier than crying and said:

"Master Luo! Five years ago, when I opened a shop here, you took away 40% of the shares without paying a penny. Since then, you have been asking me for dividends non-stop, at least three times a year. It's a pity that I didn't even make any money. I can only rely on my capital to fill this bottomless pit of yours!"

"Now that your dividends have been advanced to the end of next year, what else can Song say now? What can I dare to say now?"

Xie San coughed and said:

"Boss Song, that's not what I meant. My master took the shares, so you can run a stable business in Maoshan. He also helped you earn a lot of reputation during the day and punished the sneaky guys. Isn't this 40% share not worth it?"

It would be better if we didn't mention this. Once Song Ji mentioned this, he felt like crying but had no tears. He said angrily:

"As the saying goes, all businessmen are dishonest! Our business relies on selling low and selling high, making a living by looking for the best price, bargaining for the lowest price, and redeeming the most expensive pawn! What's the point of a pawnshop having a good reputation? Does a prostitute on the red-light district need chastity? The customers who come to the pawnshop only care about the price we offer."

"What did Xiao Song do wrong? If you hadn't pushed him too hard, and he felt the pressure was too much and wanted to share my worries, how could he have been caught by someone?"

"Besides, even if he did something wrong, is it necessary for you to catch him, beat him up and then cut off two of his fingers?!"

Listening to Boss Song's angry shouting, Luo Jiang suddenly said calmly:
"Third brother, it seems that Boss Song is very resentful. Okay, I will withdraw my shares! You calculate how much money it is!"

After hearing this, Song Ji's face was immediately filled with ecstasy, and he immediately said: "The total is 6,100 silver treasures, I don't want the change. You..."

Song Ji was halfway through his speech when he suddenly became speechless.

Because he saw the blood on the ground and the two broken fingers, his mind suddenly became clear and a chill ran down his spine.

Then he could only say with a bitter face:

"Master Luo, you are joking. I will definitely send you the dividends for the year end of next year within three days, but I really can't afford it in the next eight months!"

Then Song Ji walked out with a painful look on his face.

Looking at Song Ji's leaving back, Luo Jiang's face gradually darkened:

"It seems that this guy really doesn't have much money left. Third brother, go and prepare. Let him have an accident. Hengchangtai's land is still worth some money."

Xie San said expressionlessly:

"Yes."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door, but halfway through he suddenly said:
"There is one more thing I would like to ask Master Luo for advice on."

Luo Jiangdao:
"You said."

Xie Sandao:
"I have already investigated the identity of the man in the afternoon. His name is Tian Dachun, and he is a scoundrel from Shimen Village in this county. Because he suffers from a serious heart disease, he had no choice but to risk his life to go to the ice sea to hunt corpses. It was probably all due to luck that he was able to get the corpses back."

"Now that Liu Laizi's group has successfully created momentum, the county is praising Master Luo for his kindness, approachability, and humility, so can we follow the old rules and take back the plaque and money?"

Luo Jiang pondered in silence, but was stroking something in his hand.

Xie San persuaded in a low voice:
"Tian Dachun's heart paralysis is very serious. He has had several attacks in public, so it is only natural that something unexpected would happen. Master Luo does not need to worry about any mistakes."

Luo Jiang snorted coldly and said word by word:
"I want him to live well! Do you need me to say it again?"

Xie San said nothing more, bowed slightly, and then stepped back.

Luo Jiang's eyes were slightly closed. He sat there for a while before he sighed and said:
"Alas, Xie San also has selfish motives. What a pity for such a good knife that is easy to use!"

At this time, a beautiful woman came out from behind the screen, covered her mouth with a round fan and laughed softly:

"It's just a knife. There are countless people in Maoshan County who want to make this knife. You are really worrying too much."

Luo Jiang was silent for a few seconds:
"Fang Fei, how is the thing I asked you to do going?"

The beautiful woman smiled and said:

"Of course I take your instructions seriously. I have asked four experienced jade craftsmen to examine the hairpin. They all said that the material is not jade. Your inference is correct."

Luo Jiang's eyes showed memories:
"Sure enough, I remembered it correctly."

***
The next day at noon,
Tian Yun came to the front door and knocked on it loudly.

After a while, Gong Tianwu, yawning and rubbing his waist, came to open the door and complained sleepily:

"Big sister, I was beaten half to death yesterday, and you can't..."

When Tian Yun saw Gong Tianwu at this time, he was immediately shocked and couldn't help but say:

"What happened to you? Have you been sucked away by an evil ghost?"

Because Gong Tianwu looked extremely haggard at this time, the dark circles under his eyes were deeply sunken, the bags under his eyes and dark circles were extremely obvious, and he spoke weakly, as if he had aged by ten years overnight.

Hearing Tian Yun say this, Gong Tianwu was suddenly choked and wondered how could it be like this?
It's only a loss of 0.8 grams of weight each time, and the total weight loss is 3.2 grams. Why is the impact so big?

He was also very embarrassed at this time, and could only avoid the topic:
"Isn't this an old problem? I was injured yesterday and was recuperating when you woke me up. What's the urgent matter?"

At this point, Tian Yun's face suddenly turned ugly and he said:
"The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family jumped into the river."

After hearing this, Gong Tianwu was shocked and said:

"What??!"

He immediately remembered that the two brothers of the Zheng family came to cause trouble for him last night, and Zhou Zhizhong also came to cause trouble. The root of the problem was that someone spread rumors that he had stolen the Zheng family's sheep.

He also asked Zhou Zhizhong the name of the person who spread the rumor, and found out that she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family.

She had always been at odds with Tian Yun. Most likely, she was upset because she saw her giving the leg of lamb to Tian Yun, and combined with her past style of doing things.

As for the motive, there is no need to say much. They are afraid that their neighbors will suffer less, and they are even more afraid that their neighbors will drive a Land Rover. Once they find that their poor neighbors are doing good things, they will of course find ways to destroy them.
