"ah?"

When they first heard about this reward, everyone in Zhuangzi was excited, as if they were in a dream.

The silk cloth and green food are already good things. The blood wine is also a drink made from Tai Sui's blood in the Red Lantern Lady Club. Drink it and you will feel strong, full of qi and blood, and the golden gun will not fall down. If you are injured, Rubbing the burnt wound also has a miraculous effect on relieving pain.

If I sell it to the market, I'm afraid I won't get ten taels of silver per jar.

The most important thing is that the blood food pill...could it be a pill made from blood Tai Sui?

This thing is worth more than gold...

Earlier, they saw Hu Ma go out in the middle of the night and bring Yang Gong and others back. They also knew that this must be a big event, but Hu Ma never talked about it afterwards, but they didn't know what was in the jar.

Now that Leng Buding heard about this reward, he was suddenly shocked. No matter from which point of view, this reward does not seem to be for the manager, but like it is for the shopkeeper...

"Then Yang Gong was promoted to Sanxiang?"

Hu Ma also thought to herself that when they, the disciples of Hongxiang, first joined the association, they burned a stick of red incense.

After performing meritorious service, he was promoted to the second level. Earlier, Yang Gong was only one level. Now that he has accomplished this meritorious service, he has been promoted to two levels in a row?

Disciples of Sanxiang can already be regarded as the people close to the Red Lantern Empress...

"Thank you for your gift."

In fact, Hu Ma's heart was already more than enough for three blood food pills, but on her face she could only show that she was very satisfied and wanted to say thank you to the empress.

But then I thought about it, they are all things that can see the light, and they are indeed not bad.

"Haha, this reward is just a small thing."

The man on the horse smiled again and said, "We came here for another reason."

"As you may well know, shopkeeper Wu in your village recently took stock of the money and food, handed over his seal, and resigned. But he left, and the village must not be left unattended. Before he left, he recommended you as his replacement. Do you know that he holds the position of shopkeeper?"

"..."

Although there had been speculations before, everyone couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised after hearing what the messenger said with their own ears.

Especially Zhou Datong, who almost jumped up with joy and punched Li Wazi.

Hearing him mention this, Hu Ma hesitated slightly and said in a deep voice: "The shopkeeper mentioned it, but after all, I am new to the industry and have little qualifications..."

"Haha, it doesn't matter."

The messenger laughed and said, "Are you from the Sui Shou family?"

"It is an old rule for people to watch the year and pass it on from master to disciple."

"Old shopkeeper Wu Hong was hired from outside by our Red Lantern Lady Club to be the shopkeeper. We have supported him with money, food and blood for so many years. Even if he made a mistake, we did not hold him accountable. This is reasonable. "

"We won't embarrass him if he asks to resign because of something, but he originally has an obligation, which is to train a disciple for our Red Lantern Lady Association."

"..."

When Leng Buding heard this, the guys were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

Hearing this, Hu Ma was also a little surprised. If it weren't for Erguotou's reminder, she would have jumped for joy at this moment.

But now...

I was thinking silently in my heart, but suddenly I heard the incense master say: "However, the shopkeeper of Yi Zhuangzi is no small matter. Zheng Xiangzhu also said that after all, you are too young and have only been in the association for a short time. I am afraid that you have not learned many rules.

."

"I thought it would be too much for you to take care of a village by yourself, so I'll assign someone to help you first, and then I'll let you go after you learn it well. How about that?"

"..."

"ah?"

The sudden words made these guys feel like they were off a cliff.

He didn't react for a moment, but when he did, everyone was stunned.

Why did the messenger go round and round in his words? One said that Brother Mazi was the shopkeeper, which was reasonable, and the next he said that he was not qualified enough and needed to send someone over to help...

So is this shopkeeper, or not the shopkeeper?

However, there were quite a few people in the group who came with hidden smiles on their faces.

It was as if they had been listening for so long just to hear the expressions on these people's faces when the last sentence came out.

"Master Zheng Xiang?"

And when Hu Ma listened to his words, something suddenly flashed in her mind.

I have offended someone invisibly...

Yang Gong has indeed become a master, but before he became such a master, he had been oppressed by his immediate superior. Now that he has made such a great contribution, it is not easy for his immediate superior to provoke him at this time.

Unexpectedly, his immediate boss turned his attention to himself, and without his noticing, he had already stirred up the affairs of his shopkeeper...

I want to be the shopkeeper because I want to be at ease and do things conveniently.

In the end, he sent someone over. So what is the difference from when the old shopkeeper was here?

Maybe, it’s even worse!

The old shopkeeper at least left everything to himself before and never pointed out the problem. Now, I'm afraid he won't be as easy to deal with as the shopkeeper.

Thinking about the details here, I felt for a moment that the Red Lantern Lady Guild was just a blood-eating gang that worshiped evil spirits, but there was quite a bit of intrigue inside. Suddenly, I thought of what Erguotou told me, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge in my heart.

Grinning...

"Sun Niuzi, come out!"

While Hu Ma was thinking about it, the messenger had already called a name with a smile.

Behind the crowd, someone picked up the reins of the horse and slowly took a few steps forward. It was a short and fat man.

He looked to be about thirty years old and was wearing loose clothes. He did not dismount, but looked at Hu Ma from the horse and said with a smile:

"Shopkeeper Hu, Master Zheng Xiang asked me to come over to help you and remind you of the rules in the red lantern club."

"From now on, we will be closer and closer..."

He had that half-smiling expression on his face, which made all the people around him, including Zhou Datong and others, feel frightened for a moment.

Before this man even got off his horse and entered Zhuangzi, a shadow seemed to be cast over his head.

But listening to this man's neither yin nor yang words, Hu Ma slowly raised her head, looked at him on the horse, and smiled on her face: "Yes, you really need to get closer and closer."

"..."

This smile made Sun Niuzi, who was riding a horse, stunned for a moment, feeling vaguely that something was wrong.

Why does the smile on this man's face seem to come from his heart?

…

But except for Hu Ma, all the waiters in the Zhuangzi were indeed in a low mood. After talking about their business, they invited these envoys and others to come to the Zhuangzi for dinner. They had hosted such a big banquet with great joy, but now they all tasted gloomy.

.

Sun Niuzi, on the other hand, seemed to have returned to his own home, invited the envoy to sit on the throne, accompanied him, and started eating and drinking happily.

Hu Ma's face remained as usual, he drank two glasses of wine with her, and showed no reaction to the looks from the people around him.

It wasn't until after a few drinks that someone borrowed the toilet and hid with Hu Ma, whispering: "Brother Hu, I worked with Manager Xu, do you think you still remember me?"

"The old man asked me to follow him to remind you that he originally wanted to help you with the matter of being the shopkeeper of Zhuangzi. It's a pity that Master Zheng Xiang sent a message and sent his brother-in-law here. This Master Zheng Xiang is in charge of personnel affairs. Others

But I can’t say anything…”

"..."

This manager, Xu Yaoxu, was the young mustache manager who had taken over the job from the second master.

Of course, now that the beard has grown longer, it is already a medium beard.

Seeing Hu Ma's future, he had been talking to Hu Ma since childhood and regarded Hu Ma as one of his own.

In the Red Lantern Empress Association, there are three incense masters. One of them is in charge of the Blood Food Mine. He is the most powerful and trusted one. He was born as a Hongxiang disciple and is away from home all year round.

One is in charge of the distribution of money and food, and the operation of blood and food.

And this Master Zheng Xiang was Yang Gong's former immediate boss. He was in charge of the affairs of each village. With his words, Manager Xu would naturally be unable to say anything.

But he was quite nice, and even asked someone to come over to remind him.

Having said that, if things went well, he would probably come over in person and tell Hu Ma the good news.

Hu Ma then smiled and said, "I know, thank Uncle Xu for me."

"It's because I didn't go to the city in time. When I got the chance later, I went to the city to make up for it."

"..."

"Yes, when you are free, go to the city and go sit with the steward first."

After the two of them agreed, they went back to drink.

That night he stayed overnight with all the people who were offering rewards and sent them back, and Zhuangzi was empty again.
