Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

Mr. Bai Er knew the truth of the matter on a sunny morning the next day. It was not the old accountant in Qiaotou Town who came to report the letter, but Li Tongqing and Li Wuye.That night was really strange. The old accountant was riding an old donkey and met a ghost Daqiang. He didn't turn out of a spooky miscellaneous forest in the east of the town until dawn.When the old accountant rushed to the Bai family's mansion in a daze, Mr. Bai Er had already learned everything from Li Wuye. Mr. Bai Er was very surprised to see Li Wuye in Mohe City, but he was even more surprised to see Li Wuye at his house early in the morning.Li Wuye and Uncle Wang both run coal kilns, and they are enemies. The owners of the three kilns seldom communicate with each other.Li Wuye came all the way from Qiaotou Town overnight, so he must not be here to announce the good news.Therefore, as soon as he met Mr. Li Wu, Mr. Bai Er instinctively knew that there was nothing good to do, and his heart suddenly became aroused.

The first thing Mr. Bai Er thought of was not the internal strife in his own kiln, but the fact that Baijiayao and Lijiayao had started to work together.When calling his family to serve tea, Mr. Bai Er was thinking of fighting with Li Wuye.Mr. Li Wu is an outsider after all, and he is not yet a rich and powerful owner. Mr. Bai Er thinks that no matter whether he is in Qiaotou Town or Mohe City, a fight with Li Wuye is always more than enough.Unexpectedly, the first sentence Li Wuye opened his mouth was: "Hey, Second Master Bai, what are you planning? Do you still want to open the kiln in Qiaotou Town?"

This is a strange question.If he doesn't want to open a kiln, why does his Bai family buy so many kiln land in Qiaotou Town that only grows wormwood but not crops?Why did he recruit so many kiln workers?Mr. Bai Er has not only opened the current largest Baijia Kiln, but also plans to open a new kiln. Mr. Bai Er proudly told Li Wuye what he thought in his heart. After hearing this, Li Wuye said: "...Since this is the case, how can you encourage the kiln workers in your own kiln to fight like this? Then beat them desperately! They all killed people! You can just knock them down on your own kiln. Take all the brothers from our Li family and Wang family kilns to beat them too! The trouble caused you to stop the kiln, and it also made us all follow you to stop the kiln. Uncle Wang and I don’t understand why, hey, you go like this Chess, what kind of routine is it? Uncle Wang and I wanted to come to ask your brother for advice——Uncle Wang also wanted to come, but he has bad legs, so he let me come first."

Mr. Bai Er was dumbfounded, and asked again and again: "Fifth Lord, what are you talking about? Why didn't Third Master Zhang tell me?" It was Li Wuye's turn to be dumbfounded.Mr. Li Wu thought that Mr. Bai Er was more cunning, but he didn't expect Mr. Bai Er to be so cunning. When things got into such a mess, this master could still pretend to be so. Li Wuye no longer believed that Mr. Bai Er would be completely unaware of so many things, so he held back his anger, pretending that Mr. Bai Er didn't know, and told Mr. Bai Er exactly what he had heard. I have said everything I saw, from resting kilns to fighting.Mr. Li Wu did not order Mr. Bai Er, but only Mr. Zhang. He said that Mr. Zhang sent a guy to the local kiln worker. On the Kuzipo.The gangsters were not cowards, they fought desperately together, and one of them was killed.After the death, the gangsters carried the body and rushed into Qiaotou Town overnight. Now that the town was in chaos, they were afraid that they would carry the body into the city to see the officials.

Finally, Mr. Li Wu said: "...Second Lord, it's not like you don't know that Mr. Wang, the magistrate, has always been dissatisfied with our three coal mines, saying that our coal mines are full of criminals hiding filthy places. He always wants to find someone It’s an excuse to close our kiln. If those gangsters on the slope really carry the corpse to the city, I’m afraid our three kilns won’t be able to open!” Only then did Mr. Bai Er understand it, but it turned out that Mr. Zhang, whom he had always trusted so much, had made a big mistake for him, and it might bring disaster to the entire coal kiln industry in Qiaotou Town.Li Wuye came to him in such a hurry, just because he was afraid that the catastrophe would happen to him.But he couldn't figure it out after much deliberation, why did the kiln make such a fuss?The trouble has come to this point, why didn't Zhang Sanye come and talk to him?What does Mr. Zhang want to do?Why did Third Master Zhang let the disciples rest from the kiln?Why don't you hug that guy surnamed Xiao?He went to Qiaotou town to collect charcoal and cash almost every month, and he had to talk to Zhang Sanye about this Kuzitou, and Zhang Sanye always said it was very good.Since it is very good, why would you kill someone?What does Zhang Sanye mean when he persuaded the local kiln workers to hit Kuangzipo?The more I think about it, the more I feel that Mr. Zhang is hateful, and the more confused I become.

At this time, Mr. Li Wu also saw that Mr. Bai Er really didn't seem to know the inside story, so he said: "...Second Master, if all of this is not your idea, then I think it is your kiln shopkeeper Zhang San who is uneasy and kind. No. It’s not that I, Li, talk too much. Mr. Zhang is smiling on the surface, but he is afraid that he will be dissatisfied with everyone in his heart, as if everyone owes him. Second Master Bai, you have to guard against him Woolen cloth……" At this point, the old accountant stumbled in and reported to Mr. Bai Er panting. Mr. Bai Er listened patiently and felt that the matter was roughly the same as what Li Wuye said. Peaceful.

Mr. Bai Er asked the old accountant: "Then tell me, why do you blame Xiao Taiping?" The old accountant said: "The cause of the incident was that a person was crushed to death in our kiln, but in fact it was not the case. In fact, it was Xiao Taiping who made trouble. After the death in the kiln, Xiao Taiping came to look for Mr. Zhang in the middle of the night. Xiao Taiping wants to blackmail our kiln with the dead..." Mr. Bai Er asked: "Why did Xiao Taiping threaten our kiln?" The old accountant said: "He wanted to hire our kiln, and he said that you always agreed."

Only then did Mr. Bai Er suddenly remember the wish he made casually back then. The old accountant showed disdain on his face: "Can a kiln flower from outside be able to contract the kiln? Mr. Zhang will naturally ignore him and let him continue to go to the kiln to carry coal. Xiao Taiping said that he has been in the kiln for five months. , when the accident happened, he was plowing coal under the kiln, and he was almost crushed to death..." When Mr. Bai Er heard this, he couldn't help being startled: "Hey, why would Xiao Taiping carry and plow coal under the kiln? Didn't I tell Mr. Zhang that? As long as there are more than two hundred kilns under the head of the kiln If we get our kiln up and down, I don't want him to do anything, but give him the kiln wages of the three of them!"

The old accountant is still speaking for Mr. Zhang: "Mr. Zhang is also kind! How can we raise idlers in our kiln? Xiao Taiping is the head of the kiln, not the head of our kiln. Mr. Zhang asked him to work in the kiln. It also makes sense..." Mr. Bai Er couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and he slapped the table: "This... this Zhang Laosan is doing my best! Bai Jiayao's surname is Bai but not Zhang. Don't do his Zhang Laosan's business!" Only then did the old accountant see that Mr. Bai Er was dissatisfied with Zhang Sanye, and then the tone of the report changed, saying that Zhang Sanye had always hated Xiao Taiping, and always wanted to put Xiao Taiping and those two hundred or so sons together. Run away, openly said, "It's hard to find three-legged toads, but there are plenty of people with two legs..."

At this moment, Mr. Bai Er had already made up his mind, so he didn't let the old accountant talk any more. The old accountant took out the letter dictated by Xiao Taiping and showed it to Mr. Bai Er. After seeing it, Mr. Bai Er said to Li Wuye: "Fifth Lord, it seems that I have to go to Qiaotou Town." Li Wuye said in agreement: "Yes, I have to go immediately!" He also reminded Mr. Bai Er meaningfully again, "I'm afraid that your kiln shopkeeper is a troublemaker!" Mr. Bai Er hated Mr. Zhang very much in his heart, but he said: "No, no, Mr. Zhang was confused for a while. It is only a petty account, but he has no bad intentions." After finishing speaking, he ordered his family to prepare Sedan.While waiting for the sedan chair, Mr. Bai Er said to Li Wuye again: "Fifth Lord, don't be afraid. If the matter comes to me, even if the trouble comes to an end, it will not go to the official Wang Sir again. You and Wang Master, you should let go of your eighteen hearts, the government will not be able to seal off our kiln in Qiaotou Town."

Li Wuye asked: "Second Lord, why are you so sure?" Mr. Bai Er said: "Haven't you understood? The root of the matter lies in Xiao Taiping, the head of the gang, and Xiao Taiping can't do without me. Does he just want to contract the kiln from me! That's good, I'm planning to I will open a new kiln in the coming year, as long as he has this diamond, I will give him a porcelain job, what else is he making trouble..." Although he said so, Mr. Bai Er didn't think so in his heart.Sitting on the sedan chair heading for Qiaotou Town, with the rhythmic vibration of the sedan chair bars, Mr. Bai Er fell into deep thinking before making a decision. The faces of Mr. Zhang Sanye and Xiao Taiping shook alternately in front of his eyes. It's strange to say that Mr. Bai Er only met Xiao Taiping once in Kuazipo more than five months ago, but his impression was so deep that he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.Mr. Bai Er sees people deeply, and he can see two major benefits of Xiao Taiping at a glance: one is convincing the public, there are more than two hundred brothers who listen to him.The second is to have winks and know how to express one's respect, love and obedience to the silver and the owner of the silver.It is precisely because of this that Mr. Bai Er casually made a wish for Baoyao to Xiao Taiping.When making this wish, although the words are insincere, it cannot be said that there is no sincerity.Xiao Taiping could really contract out the kiln and earn a lot of money for his Bai family, why wouldn't he do it?However, what made Mr. Bai Er angry was that this Xiao Taiping was really too arrogant to cause trouble for Bao Kiln.Mr. Bai Er couldn't believe that Xiao Taiping, who had only stayed in Baijiayao for more than five months, would have the ability to make a kiln. Zhang Sanye is not arrogant, but he is obviously hateful.How can this bastard run on Xiao Taiping and those gangsters?It's clearly a run on their old Bai's money.He has money and land, but what he lacks right now is animals to drag the coal up from the ground, and Mr. Zhang wants to drive away these good animals.Is this just because Mr. Zhang is short-tempered?I'm afraid it's not that simple.There is a faint smell of conspiracy here.It's not that Mr. Bai Er is suspicious, the matter is clearly there, Zhang Sanye wants to spoil the big event of Baijiayao, even Li Wuye can see this. Mr. Bai Er seriously recalled the history of his relationship with Mr. Zhang, as if he saw the first time Mr. Zhang came to see him more than three years ago.The Third Master Zhang at that time was no different from Xiao Taiping now, or even worse than Xiao Taiping.Although Xiao Taiping has no money, he still has more than two hundred people. What does Mr. Zhang have?With only two paws and a deceptive smiling face, he makes a living by showing others Feng Shui.Yes, the idea of ​​opening the kiln was first put forward by Zhang Sanye, and their Bai family started with mining outcropping coal and built a small kiln.It is also because of Mr. Zhang’s initiative at the beginning and his honesty and duty that Mr. Bai Er used Mr. Zhang as the kiln shopkeeper and paid Mr. Zhang one hundred and twenty taels a year. Huahua's money, and watching Zhang Sanye earn extra money from Shibajie's flower boat. The Bai family opened a kiln and made a fortune, and Zhang Sanye also made a small fortune, so Mr. Bai Er always thought that Zhang Sanye should be satisfied.Now it seems that Mr. Zhang is probably dissatisfied!This bastard was dazzled by piles of black charcoal and letters of silver, so he didn't know the severity, and wanted to ruin their old Bai's affairs.This bastard might think that he is really so indispensable, how could he know that in front of a world where money is so cheap, he is not even as good as a dog.As long as there is money, the Bai family can open any kiln, and any kiln manager can afford it... The idea of ​​driving away Mr. Zhang has already appeared in his mind-Mr. Bai Er believes that this will not only help calm the anger of Xiao Taiping and the gangsters, but also fundamentally eliminate a potential scourge.Thinking about it again, I felt wrong again.In this way, isn't it tantamount to admitting that the kiln made a mistake, wouldn't it fuel Xiao Taiping's arrogance?Before the kiln was contracted to Xiao Taiping, it fueled Xiao Taiping's arrogance. What will he, the kiln owner, do in the future?I'm afraid that if one disaster is eliminated, another disaster will be born.Furthermore, is Xiao Taiping really capable of contracting out his kiln?If he doesn't give him a bag, how will the matter end?Will these gangsters really go to the county's parents, Mr. Wang? Thinking about it hurts his brain and he doesn't think of a reason, so Mr. Bai Er stopped thinking about it, and only planned to deal with it according to the situation.The principle of disposal is, for the sake of the black charcoal and silver constantly growing in the Baijia kiln, the situation must not be allowed to continue to escalate... With a strong idea of ​​pacifism, Mr. Bai Er's sedan chair floated into the chaotic Qiaotou Town tremblingly.
