Chapter 32

Make a living

Author: Stephen the Thunderman

Make a living

When the watch clock outside struck for the second time, it was already Hai hour tonight.

Everyone had to take care of their livelihood tomorrow. Although they didn't have all the fun, they still knew what was right and they dispersed.

Later, another person came to talk about Fang La. Liu Bang didn't hear anything, but Lao Wangtou and the other three who came from behind applauded him.

After Old Wangtou and his son, Ji Wu, sent the three girls to the hospital, they were taken over by people from Sibei Tower.

So they don't know the extent of the injuries of those three people.

But when people from Sibei Tower offered reward money, Lao Wangtou arrogantly refused:

"My son-in-law is also an official. I am just trying to save people. Don't use those things to tarnish my reputation!"

He was so heartbroken that Ji Wu and Wang Xiaoer kept tugging at his sleeves, but they couldn't get him to take his words back.

The three of them are still living with Yue Yun!

Although he knows that his son-in-law is capable of eating and drinking from others, Prime Minister Qin's reputation is too great.

The three of them did not dare to go home without being absolutely sure.

Under such circumstances, Lao Wangtou was still thinking about his face...

Ji Wu didn't know how many times he scolded the old man in his heart.

Sibei Tower was not far from where they lived. Liu Bang originally wanted to call Yue Yun over, but he didn't expect that this guy was still busy contacting the ministers of the DPRK and had no time at all.

In this way, the three of them were attracted.

Seeing this scene, Ji Wu couldn't help but look at Lao Wang's head.

From the moment the old man put his butt on the chair, the corner of his eye never left his son-in-law.

He always felt that although his uncle-in-law was no different from usual people and was talking and laughing with everyone, there was something wrong.

He seemed very unhappy.

He sat very close, yet seemed far away.

I'm afraid this is what others call official authority.

I didn’t think so before, but now I’ve looked at it carefully…

It is indeed true.

Ji Wu's eyes almost cramped, but Lao Wangtou didn't say anything.

After a long time, the boy finally couldn't sit still anymore, raised his glass and said:

"Brother-in-law, thanks to your care, we are not worried about by the people in Prime Minister Qin's Mansion. This glass of wine is just a small toast to you."

The first half of the sentence was decent, but in the second half, Ji Wu finally missed the point.

After all, he didn't have a good face towards this adult before.

Liu Bang didn't show up, took the wine from him, and asked:

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I hate people who beat around the bush the most."

Ji Wuhan smiled and said: "Look, it's not a problem for me and my godfather to be outside all the time. The job of guarding Qiantang Gate..."

"This matter..." Liu Bang thought for a while and then replied, "My father-in-law is so old, so I don't want to be exposed to the wind and sun. It seems that I, the son-in-law, have no conscience.

"

Old Wangtou thought he had rejected him, so he hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, I am thick-skinned and thick-skinned. I just like doing this job."

Liu Bang rolled his eyes at him: "Old father-in-law, I'm not very good at beating around the bush, so I'll just tell you the truth."

"As a guard at a city gate, you are asking for property from passers-by. Those who give the property are released, but what happens to those who don't give it? You don't let people pass by?"

"At the very least, you are greedy for gain, but at the most serious level, this is dereliction of duty."

Lao Wangtou was very surprised. When he asked the monk for money that day, he clearly helped him with the conversation.

Why did you change your words like this today?

Liu Bang didn't stop, and said to Ji Wuda: "You are even more outrageous. You even talked about rebellion on the ship that day. I finally understand today. The story told by the storyteller in Lin'an City, you are I really don’t listen too much!”

"If my father-in-law is derelict in his duties, then you should be beheaded!"

As soon as the word 'rebellion' came out, Liu Qi's eyes lit up and he stared at Ji Wu.

If he dares to move, Mr. Liu promises that he will be killed immediately.

The two of them were scolded by Liu Bang, their faces turned red and white, and they felt bad after all.

But soon, Liu Bang's next words made both of them doubt whether they were dreaming.

"Then don't do the errands of guarding. You can do some business. This Sibei Tower..."

He looked at the person upstairs, who also noticed him and raised a fist towards him from a distance.

"The business of Sibei Tower will be left to you."

"This... uncle, this..."

Old Wangtou either didn't believe in his ability, or he knew that even Prime Minister Qin couldn't touch him, so he was so worried.

Could it be that my son-in-law wants to take over other people's jobs?

If this is true, then he is no longer the same person as Gao Qiu and Qin Hui!

Regardless of how beautiful these people look on their faces, their backbones have been exposed behind their backs.

At most, Lao Wangtou only has the guts to take advantage of others, so asking him to plan such a big business is almost the same as giving him a lesson about Wang Xiaoer's first prize.

Before anyone could react, Liu Bang stood up and said to the other side:

"Master, I'm sorry for disturbing you."

Liu Li smiled and said: "Master Xin, what are you talking about? Seeing you again seems like a dream to me."

After saying that, he scolded the people around him: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that Mr. Xin is here?"

Liu Bang waved his hand: "I came here specifically to listen to the storyteller. I didn't want to trouble my boss."

The two of them chatted for a while, and Liu Li recognized Lao Wang and the other three, who were the ones who sent the three girls to the hospital, so she didn't think anything was wrong.

Instead, it was Liu Qi... His attention had always been on Liu Dushi.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that Mr. Xin would be so trusted by the emperor. Not only was he fine, but he was even promoted."

This news was only announced in the early morning, and he didn't even get the appointment letter from the Ministry of Personnel.

Liu Li really has an ear for everything.

"Having said that, what I said to the adults before still stands. As long as you want, everyone in Sibei Tower will go all out to help."

"So..." Liu Bang looked around and said, "I really want to ask my boss for help with something small."

"Oh? It's an honor. Sir, feel free to speak out."

"My father-in-law has offended Qin Hui, so I can't do the job of guarding the city gate. You see, they came to me and wanted me to make a living for them."

Liu Li was a little disappointed, but his smile did not change: "It's simple, as long as a few knights don't mind it, the kitchen, lobby, flowers and boats are all fine, and the Sibei Building can accommodate people."

Lao Wangtou wanted to speak, but he looked at his son-in-law and just moved his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

"Hey, how can I let them do those things? After all, they are my relatives. It doesn't sound good to say this."

Liu Li frowned and said, "What does Master Xin mean?"

"What I mean is that it's better for my boss to be kind and hand over the Sibei Building to them."

"Xin...Master Xin is joking."

"Do you think," Liu Bang put away his smile and stared into the man's eyes, "do I seem to be joking?"

Liu Li didn't expect that the righteous man he fancied would be such a greedy person, and he only felt a little discouraged.

But Liu Bang's next words made him freeze in place, unable to move any further.

"Liu Li, or should I call you...Marshal Guo?"
