Chapter 190 Watching the Fun

Niu Niu pricked up her ears and listened, her head stretched out, her big eyes purring, looking like a kitten jumping up and down.

"Okay, it's none of your business. You need to recover from your illness. Just lie down in the room and have a good rest. Don't run around." Zhang Yunniang said.

But Niuniu scratched her head and scratched her head, thinking about the excitement outside.

"Mom, I want to go out and have a look..." Niu Niu followed Zhang Yun Niang pitifully and acted coquettishly.

Zhang Yunniang couldn't stand her sweet and soft little daughter treating her like this.

"That's all, you can watch the excitement if you want." Zhang Yunniang said.

Niu Niu suddenly beamed with joy.

Zhang Yunniang changed the topic and said: "It's just that I'm here to watch for you. You must be good in the house. If you don't, I won't tell you what's going on outside."

Niuniu's face suddenly fell.

Zhang Yuniang looked at her daughter like this and found it funny, and said: "You are only six years old, why do you like to watch the fun so much?"

Niu Niu sighed and said, "I don't know."

Zhang Yuniang soon knew the reason. She saw two familiar faces in the bustling center.

Mrs. Gu and Gu Zhao, two faces, one big and one small, all watched the excitement intently.

"Mom." Zhang Yunniang squeezed past with great effort.

Mrs. Gu squeezed out a vacant seat and said, "You can see clearly from here!"

Zhang Yuniang had no choice but to squeeze into the empty seat. She could only be grateful that there were many people in the family, and Liu Xiaoru and Gu Yan could keep an eye on Niuniu and Dad Gu to prevent the old and the young from running around.

"What happened?" Zhang Yunniang asked her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Gu rushed over immediately, so she probably understood the cause and effect. She pointed at the surrounded gentlemen.

"These wealthy men are dressed like men and dogs, but in fact they don't do anything. That day, Jiaxing finally spent money to hire a man and a boatman to deal with the water thieves. It's better for these men hiding behind, they said Pay double the money for these people to protect them.

"By doing this, they almost killed Jiaxing and Mingda. Three boatmen were killed that day, and several others were injured and lying there all the time. If it weren't for the young general's accurate marksmanship, Mingda would probably be lying there with the doctor now. "

"These gentlemen have robbed people, and now they are reluctant to part with the money. They don't want to give out double the money. They are really doing the same thing in front of their faces and behind their backs. Why don't the water thieves give them a knife!"

When Mrs. Gu talked about these things, her teeth itched with hatred.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunniang's eyes towards these people became unkind.

But these rich gentlemen are still arguing: "You have no enemies, you are just standing next to us, why do you want sixty taels of silver from us?"

With so many people asking for sixty taels of silver each, wouldn't it cost them their lives? They even regretted that if they had known that the navy would come so quickly, they shouldn't have invited them. Then the person paying now is Sun Jiaxing.

"Repent of what you promised, brothers, throw them into the water!" A short man among the young men shouted loudly.

When the other ordinary young men heard this, they were instantly inspired and struggled to push forward.

"Where's the boatman? Where's the steward? Isn't there anyone on board to take care of the trouble?" the gentleman shouted.

But the stewards pretended not to know. When the boatmen thought of their dead companions, they all wanted to rush up and beat them together.

The leading gentleman has been lifted up by the young men and has been moving towards the water. He is about to be thrown down.

"Here, come, come on, why don't I give you money?"

The gentlemen finally compromised. They only regret that they are still on the boat and have no response every day. If they get off the boat, who will be angry with these reckless men?

The young men lifted the person up for a moment.

"Give me the money now, hurry up!" The short man urged to settle the payment on the spot.

There are still some people among the gentlemen who have reached this point and are thinking of playing tricks.

"I really don't have that much money on me. Think about it, who takes a boat with a box of silver? Don't worry, I will give it to you when you get off the boat!"

The young men were stunned for a moment. Many of them were still naive and actually believed this.

But the short man seemed to be the brains of these young men and shouted directly: "No! If there is no cash, there are also banknotes. If there is no banknote, we will use valuables to offset the price. Whoever can't get it will be thrown away!"

The other young men only needed to obey blindly when they heard the voice, and immediately lifted the old man up.

The faces of the gentlemen suddenly turned green. They only hated that their servants were useless and were no match for these young men.

"Okay, okay, give me the banknote, give me the banknote!"

There are also people who are unwilling to give up and want to play tricks during the money-giving process.

But this time I really met my opponent.

"There will be a discount when exchanging silver notes. If you give me a hundred taels of silver notes, it will only count as eighty taels of silver."

The old man was dumbfounded and cursed: "Why are you more evil than the bank? The bank won't take 20% of it!"

"Who knows what material this jade pendant you gave us is made of. Anyway, we don't understand what is ice type or not. This thing is only worth a tael of silver in our eyes."

The man who took out the jade pendant was confused when he heard this and said: "How can it be worth only one tael of silver? I still bought it for five taels of silver!"

When the short man heard this, he immediately cursed: "You originally wanted to bargain with us for fifty taels of something you bought for fifty taels, but I knew none of you were honest! Even one tael of silver is too much for me. Ten cents is too much." !”

But now all the young men listen to the short man, and this short man is difficult to deal with. No matter how full of clever ideas the old men have, they will only be defeated when they encounter such a smart team.

After a long time of fussing, how could the masters tolerate the items they bought at a high price being mortgaged by the short man at a low price? One by one, they didn't know where to get a lot of gold and silver.

After the short man and his brothers got the money, he sneered at the masters: "Look, they don't have no money, they just don't want to give it to us!"

As soon as the short man said this, a group of people immediately glared at the masters.

Relying on the money from the masters, the short man now has a lot of people in the lower cabin, and his prestige is very high. Almost at his command, these people will chase him.

The young and strong people go out to make a living to earn money. Now they have 60 taels of silver in their accounts on the boat, and many people have the idea of ​​returning home on the spot.

The short man did not stop them, but took the initiative to say: "Brothers, I happen to have a lot of connections in Beijing. If you still want to go to Beijing, you might as well follow me to find a job. With me here, I will never let you go hungry."

For those who were determined to return home, the short man did not stop them, but advised them to get off the boat at the next dock to avoid being retaliated by the masters on the boat.

Perhaps because of his excellent performance in asking for wages, after his combination of punches, more than half of the young and strong were willing to follow him.

The excitement ended and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Just as Zhang Yunniang was about to return, she suddenly saw Gu Mingda and Sun Jiaxing in the crowd. Not only did they watch the excitement themselves, they also carried Xie Xingchuan on their backs!

The excitement of watching the excitement on their faces had not yet subsided, and they saw their family members not far away, and they were immediately embarrassed.

Zhang Yunniang glanced at Gu Mingda, and then looked at the old lady Gu who was excited to share gossip with her son, thinking that it was no wonder that Niuniu loved to watch the excitement so much, it turned out that the reason was these two people.

"This Wang He is indeed a character. Either he wants to cheat the brothers out of the sixty taels of silver, or he can really lead this group of people to make a name for himself in the capital." Gu Mingda said.

Wang He is not someone else, but the leader of the young men, a short young man.

Sun Jiaxing looked strange. He was the one who organized the young men in the lower cabin that day. He always had a good memory, and now he finally expressed his doubts.

"When I organized people to meet the enemy that day, I didn't seem to have seen this person."
