Datou's brute strength was used for working. Qin'er couldn't help, so she went to the room and brought some peanuts and red dates for the three of them to eat. She hid in the room doing needlework and eavesdropped on the men while doing it.

What.

The first thing is to settle accounts!

Zhu Zhu took off his robe from his shoulder and poured the gift money he received yesterday on the Eight Immortals table. There were Beijing coins, coins and small coins, a total of five large and small bunches, and then he took out three silver notes from his arms.

One big string is half a string, which is 500 copper coins, and five big strings is more than 2,500 copper coins. Add in the small string, and you can tell how much it is at a glance.

Pan Er, however, arranged his abacus like an accountant, opened the account book, pretended to count the copper coins on the table, and then began to calculate in front of the account book. After calculating for half a stick of incense, he raised his head and said: "Fourth brother, we collected all the money yesterday.

The gift of two thousand seven hundred and sixty yuan, whoever gave it, I have all the accounts here, the money has been counted, and the accounts are correct, you can check it first."

Nowadays, money is less and less valuable than before. For more than 2,000 copper coins of varying quality, you can only exchange them for one tael of silver at a bank.

However, Han Xiufeng didn't think that his uncles and brothers in the yamen were stingy, because they had helped with the expenses before. He took the account book and took a look at it: "Brother Pan, I can rest assured that you are doing the work. There is no need to read it."

"Okay," Pan Er said without being pretentious, pointing to the banknotes on the table: "These ten taels of banknotes were sent by Zhu Er, the leader of the tea gang. They said they were a congratulatory gift, but they were actually money to calm you down and apologize for your sins."

.He and the guest manager of the Huguang Guild Hall made a guarantee with Guan Baotou at the door before leaving, saying that they would strictly control the Wu brothers. They also said that because of the Wu brothers' legs, he could control the Wu brothers for a while.

The first brother who lives in the Wu family. Discuss with Guan Baotou whether we can send Datou to another place, so as not to cause trouble again if he doesn't look up and looks down."

Han Xiufeng was happy, picked up the banknote and said with a smile: "It has been decided how Wu Da died. If the Wu brothers have trouble again, they will have trouble with the county magistrate. If they really let them make the matter bigger and finally overturn the case, the county will

The grandpa will be prosecuted for the 'crime of error' (meaning to judge the guilty as innocent)."

Pan Er also understood this truth and couldn't help but laugh: "They came to apologize just because they were worried that the big boss would find out."

"What did Uncle Guan tell them?"

"Of course Guan Captou will help us. Guan Captou said it's okay to send Da Tou to fly away, but who will pay for the trouble of sending Da Tou to fly away?"

Han Xiufeng asked: "What then?"

Pan Er said with a smile: "Zhu Er said that no one from the Tea Gang was held accountable for his death. The Sichuan Gang should deal with all the emotional and legal issues. Guan Baotou said yes, and let him go find the husbands of the Sichuan Gang.

Discuss. How could Zhu Er go to Jiang Liu to discuss it? Even if he did go, nothing could be achieved through the discussion, and maybe there would be another fight."

"What happens next?"

"Then the guest manager of the Huguang Guild Hall spoke up and said that Guan Baotou couldn't ignore this matter. Guan Baotou said that he wanted to take care of it, but could he? In turn, he asked the guest manager of the Huguang Guild Hall. Every time the Tea Gang and the Sichuan Gang

Have you discussed the fight with him and asked him to take charge of it?"

"That's true. Uncle Guan can't control it even if he wants to."

"The president of the Huguang Guild Hall was anxious and said that he didn't care anymore. If the Wu brothers want to seek revenge, let them go and leave. Guan Baotou is angry. Tell them that if they want to seek revenge, it's better not to.

Qiu will kill people. If they don't die, the arresting team will have nothing to do. Let them quickly go to Datou to seek revenge."

Pan Er smiled and continued: "Because the tea gang has already spent hundreds of taels on Wu Da's matter. If the Wu brothers really do it, they don't know how much money they will spend. Not only will they cause a lot of blood, but they will also offend.

Mr. Zhu Er has no choice but to admit that he is unlucky and agrees to give Datou another ten taels of silver as payment."

There were not many opportunities for the Tea Gang to suffer a loss. Zhuzi could not help but laugh and said: "Zhu Er sent someone to deliver the banknote early in the morning, and this is it."

There was another episode in this matter. Pan Er said again: "Although Zhu'er promised to send ten taels of silver when he left yesterday, there were conditions. As soon as the silver was delivered, Datou had to leave. Guan Baotou said no,

It is said that Datou will not be able to leave until ten days at the earliest, because once he leaves, he will not be able to come back, and he has to settle his family affairs."

Han Xiufeng couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's nothing if the big head wants anything, it's just a family matter!"

"Zhu Er said the same thing. Guan Baotou said that Da Tou has no family, but Da Tou didn't just pop out of the cracks in the rocks. He also has ancestors, and he has to go to the grave to burn some paper before leaving. Zhu Er can't help it.

, I can only agree, but before I leave, I also say something harsh, saying that the tea gang will only protect the boss for ten days, and he doesn’t care whether the Wu brothers will seek revenge on the boss after ten days."

"Ten days is just ten days, making ten taels of silver in ten days. Where can I find such a good thing?"

"Yeah, anyway, we can only stay in Ba County for ten days at most." Pan Er smiled, pointed to the remaining banknote and said: "You know these twenty taels, they were forced by Ambassador Liu and the second master.

Ren Juren's blood will be shed. That turtle son is too bully. I don't want this money to be wasted."

If it hadn't been for Ambassador Liu and Princess Bo, I don't know how humiliated Ren Juren would have been yesterday.

Han Xiufeng got angry when he mentioned this matter, but he thought that Ren would go to the capital soon. If his son really could pass the Jinshi examination and become a high official like Mr. Gu in the future, not only would the Han family be in trouble, but also

The Duan family is implicated.

Han Xiufeng didn't want to do anything wrong, so he looked at the banknote and muttered: "It's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. I can't take this banknote. Brother Pan, could you please go to Shenxianfang this afternoon and help me send this banknote back to him?"

, say a few more nice words."

"Fourth brother, if you send him back, he won't bear any grudge against you. Is it useful to say a few nice words? You must know that in his opinion, this is the hatred of seizing his wife. Moreover, he humiliated you yesterday, but he was also treated by Ambassador Liu and Wang

The Lord has been humiliated in front of so many people!”

"Whether he remembers me or not is his business, and whether I send him the banknote or not is my business."

Seeing that Han Xiufeng insisted on sending the banknote back, Pan Er could only nod his head, thought about it and then closed the ledger and said: "Fourth brother, besides, the wine money given by your father-in-law has not been used up, and there is still one thousand, four hundred and twenty."

Five coins. I haven’t finished the wine I bought yesterday. I counted it when I was packing it up last night, and there were still six and a half jars left.”

Han Xiufeng murmured: "There are so many left, I'm not worried enough."

Those people in the yamen knew best how to drink. They couldn't help but laugh and said: "It should be enough, but there is not enough left. The main reason is that Master Gu, Ambassador Liu and the second master of our county yamen are here, so they don't dare to drink freely."

"I asked why there are so many left. It turns out it's because I'm afraid of Mr. Gu."

"Fourth brother, that's what I think. I can't return the remaining wine, and I haven't used up the wine money your father-in-law gave me, so I might as well go to Zhuzi's house to set up a few more tables and invite the neighbors over there."

Pan Er paused for a moment, then continued: "Calculate the days, your father and Zhuzi's mother will be able to arrive in the dark. It's such a big event for you and your sister-in-law to get married. They didn't make it yesterday, so if they go to Zhuzhu's house to set up a few tables today, they will just make up for it.

They will be able to catch up."

Yesterday I invited the neighbors from the paper figurine shop, but the neighbors there were worried that their business was too unlucky and didn't want to come over to annoy others. They simply asked the pillars to bring the gift money, but no one came. Han Xiufeng also

I thought about going over to give some wedding candies later, but I didn't expect Pan Er to have a better idea, so he agreed: "Brother Pan has thought carefully, so that's it."

Zhuzi was the happiest when he returned home to prepare a banquet. He stood up immediately and said, "Fourth brother, why don't I go back to Si Niang and the others to help arrange the banquet. Whether there is wine, food, etc., we have to go out to buy them, as well as pots, pans, ladles, tables, chairs, and benches."

Go and borrow it quickly."

"We'll go back after eating and taking lunch."

"If I don't eat, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."

"Okay, you go back first, we'll go there after lunch."

After seeing Zhu Zhu off, Pan Er got down to business again: "Fourth brother, I asked about it. It's not easy to go over the Qinling Mountains and from Shaanxi to the capital. We have a lot of luggage. I think it's better to take the waterway."

"That's what I think too." Han Xiufeng subconsciously looked at the east wing, touched his chin and said, "Otherwise, Qin'er and I will go back to Zhuzi's house after lunch, and you can go to Shenxianfang to deliver the banknotes first, and then

Let’s go to Chaotianmen Wharf and find Jiang Liu, asking him to help us hire a speedboat to take us to Yichang. He is familiar with those boatmen and knows which boatmen are reliable, so it’s easier to negotiate than if we are self-sufficient.”

"Okay, I'll go after lunch." Pan Er agreed immediately. After thinking about it, he asked puzzledly: "Fourth brother, why do you only go to Yichang? How about just letting the boatman take us to the capital?"

Upon hearing this, he knew that he had never traveled far. Han Xiufeng peeled some peanuts and explained: "Our area is full of Sichuan ships. Whether they are sending people or transporting goods to the east, they can only go as far as Yichang, and they are not willing to leave any further east.

First, we don’t know the water conditions, and secondly, we can’t carry people or cargo when we turn back east. Not only us, but we also have to change ships to transport Yunnan copper to Yichang.”
