Chapter 98 Enemies and Friends

Zhang Noi chatted for a few more words, got up and left. The three of them walked to the door and said goodbye. Zhang Noi turned to the back door of the city lord's mansion, where four horses of Lord Xinling were tied. Zhang Noi raised his eyes and looked at the back door.

It doesn't matter, Mr. Xiahou was using a stone sickle to chop a large pile of straw in the backyard. The finely chopped straw fell on a broken mat in front of him and piled up into a small pile. Zhang Noi walked over and saluted.

After calling “Mr.

Zhang Xian said: "I heard that Mr. Xiang is a car driver, but he is so busy. There are other people in the house, so why do you have to do it personally when it is a small matter of feeding the horses?"

Mr. Xiahou said: "The people in the house are unpredictable, and a little manipulation of the grass can cause serious trouble. It's better for me to take care of it myself." As he spoke, he picked up the broken mat and poured the small pile of grass into the urn next to him.

, and added: "The owner of this family seems to know a lot about horses. He has a lot of fodder in the backyard. He has not been so good at it all the way. He is also itchy and can't bear it."

Zhang Ye came forward, picked up the stone sickle, and said, "Mr. Wushu, can you use it?"

Mr. Xiahou laughed and said: "How dare I!" But he seemed to understand what he meant and did not refuse. He spread the empty shabby mat again, sat aside and pounded the grass in the urn with a wooden stick.

Using a stone sickle to chop straw is also very suitable.

Zhang Ye said while cutting: "Sir, is there something interesting to do with the coachman?"

Mr. Xiahou said: "How can it be boring? We have come here lightly, with no baggage. Three liters per day, three kilos for a hundred people. Sir, do you know how much the transportation will bring this time? Thousands of kilos of rice, and fifty ox-carts. This is what we need to live in."

It’s been a long time!”

Zhang He said: "I am also very confused. Captain Daliang came alone, but there are other young masters accompanying him. Oh, what about Er Lu?"

Mr. Xiahou said: "Er Lu and I still have a relationship."

Zhang Nou raised his eyebrows and asked, "How to communicate?"

Mr. Xia Hou said: "Who do you think the two Lu are? The Lu family actually came from Qi Taigong. Qi has always been rich in fish and salt, and has many mulberry trees and hemp. It wears hats and clothes and walks around the world. Its wealthy family is often involved in politics and business. Yan

The Tian family, the Guo family, the Bao family, the Luan family, the Gao family, and the Qing family are all like this. Even the Tian family started their careers in Gongzheng. After the Tian family succeeded the Qi Dynasty, the Lu family dispersed, and most of them were wealthy businessmen. Daliang City Underwear Belt

, there are many Lu family members in the Guanlu family. But Er Lu was originally a salt horse dealer in the Western Kingdom. It has been difficult to make a living recently, so he moved to Daliang and wanted to marry Jia Mi. The people who lived there were the Lu family's treasures in the square."

Zhang Xian asked: "What is Lu's Treasures selling?"

Mr. Xiahou said: "It's just a plaything. It's made of pearls, tortoise shells, tooth leather, horn shells, and quarrying stones. Many dandies in beautiful clothes return to it, although they are forbidden. There are even some women in the boudoir who come to visit in disguise and seek their help.

Play well. In Daliang City, you have a good reputation. You can go in and out of high gates, your carriages and horses are beautiful, and you can rival the princes."

Zhang He said: "How can such a rich man bow down to us?"

Mr. Xia Hou said: "Your Majesty is frugal, has no fancy clothes, and has no contact with Lu Zhenwan. Although Er Lu lives in Lu Zhen's house, he wants Jia Mi. Rice and rice do not come from the nursery, and he is well-known in the world. Er Lu Gai wants to make friends.

The royal family, therefore, first pays homage to Mr. Huang, hoping to introduce him to the king. Mr. Huang knows that Lu Zhen is not good at playing, and really does not want to associate with him. However, there are many young masters who recommend him.

day."

Zhang He said: "I don't know that. There are many Mr. Huang in your residence, but I don't know who you are worshiping."

Mr. Xiahou said: "It's just Huang Jia who is purchased from the government."

Zhang Ye said: "It turns out to be Mr. Huang Jia, that's it. Mr. Huang Jia is in the purchasing business and often interacts with merchants. Mr. Lu wants to be introduced by his disciples, so it is Mr. Huang's advantage."

Mr. Xiahou said: "It would be natural if they were just acquaintances between merchants. But from what I heard, Er Lu was actually introduced by a certain young master, but I don't know the details. Therefore, Mr. Huang can't shirk it."

Zhang Noi asked: "Is Mr. Huang Jia's family the head of the family?"

Mr. Xia Hou said: "Mr. Huang Jia is actually from Qi. He used to travel from Mengchang to Wei and has stayed there to this day. He always wanted to trace his roots back to Qi, but Qi's government was so bad that he had to live in a foreign country. I have never heard of him having a home in Daliang."

Zhang He said: "There is no family in Daliang? Is there anyone who can help me?"

Mr. Xiahou said: "There may be some servants in charge of purchasing and buying, but if they don't live in the mansion, we are not allowed to hear about them. What's wrong with this, sir?"

Zhang He said: "The person who mediates Er Lu and Daliang Wei is from Huang Mansion!"

Mr. Xiahou was surprised and said: "So effective? But I have never heard of it."

Zhang He said: "This is a suspicion. Let's put it aside for now, but talk about Er Lu. What does Mr. Xiahou think of Er Lu's arrival?"

Mr. Xiahou said: "Er Lu and I have no doubts about it, but fifty cart drivers are quite unusual. Sir, if you think about it, a hundred people can only ride in one baggage cart, carrying ten stones of grain, which is enough for a hundred people to eat in three days; the rest have clothes, armor and equipment."

It belongs to us. There are three hundred of us, and we can only carry three chariots, and ten of them can only carry thirty chariots. How many times as many chariots are there today, and twice as many as twenty stone chariots. What can I do?"

Zhang He said: "I'll explain it to you sir: Erlu is a Jia, and it's true that Jia can't count a hundred or ten stones. In order to get a good price, it's normal for a Jia to have a thousand stones."

Mr. Xiahou said: "This is Mr. Ting. Both of them are Xingyang, a small city. The place where the Four Battles were fought attracted the attention of all parties. Due to the limited layout, it is difficult to have a big exhibition. How many cars can there be in the city? Fifty carriages are prepared overnight.

Who is Lu, who has this power?"

Zhang He said: "I will explain it to you again: as long as you get a good price, there is nothing wrong with it. In order to make friends with Lord Xinling, Er Lu did not hesitate to pay for it."

Mr. Xiahou said: "This is also the case, Mr. Ting Ting. Among the three, the carriage drivers are all in their prime, more than eight feet tall, and none of them is weak. They are familiar with etiquette and advance and retreat in a coordinated manner. They even have the current situation in mind and can handle the world. Such a hero should be born.

What family? Sir, can you explain it to me!"

Zhang He cut it on the grass with his strength and said: "Is this true?... I don't understand it. I hope you can teach me."

Mr. Xia Hou said: "It is rare to find such a strong and heroic man. Fifty people gathered in Xingyang. What did they do? They were hired by the Lu family. Who is the Lu family?"

Zhang Zuo was shocked and said: "How can Mr. He be so comfortable in such a dangerous situation? I will report it to you in person to take precautions!"

Mr. Xiahou said: "Mr. Zhang must have a strategy!"

Zhang Ye calmed down and said: "Sir, there are so many, I am not as good as me. I hope you can teach me!"

Mr. Xiahou said: "I also have something to think about. Fifty strong men must die, no, no? They must be righteous, no, no? They must be chivalrous, no, no? The king is a good man, and he can inspire you, no?

"

Zhang Jue said: "Sir, you have far-reaching ideas, and I am not as good as me. I understand your superiors' intentions. I feel your superiors' intentions, secondly you are friends with them, thirdly you are friends with them, thirdly you are releasing them, and thirdly I am punishing them below. Fifty strong men, it is difficult to punish them all."

If he is a righteous man, the whole world will be his enemy..."
