Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system
Chapter 130: Demand Increases
There are two reasons why Mr. Ma San came to this conclusion.
The first point is that Lu You is a very ruthless person!
When asking around in the village, the villagers' evaluation of Lu You was surprisingly unanimous, all saying that Lu You was well-educated and well-mannered, but also fragile.
But at the same time, they all mentioned that Lu You and her two siblings beat up Lu Sanhu and demanded a hush money from him.
Being frail and being unable to take care of oneself are two completely opposite extremes.
Under normal circumstances, Zheng Xiezi would definitely think that it was Lu Ming and Lu Yi who did it.
But when he recalled that Lu You had nailed the blood-stained sword into the middle pillar of the roof beam, Zheng Xiezi realized that the mastermind behind the beating of Lu Sanhu must be Lu You.
He is strong and ruthless, but he has been pretending to be weak for more than ten years.
Almost instantly, Zheng Xiezi equated Lu You with the word "cruel".
Before, Zheng Xiezi sent two of his men to follow Lu You. Because they were beaten up by Lu You, the two men felt ashamed and did not tell the truth when they came back. They just said that they lost him.
During the interrogation this afternoon, the two men finally described the events of the day in detail.
Based on the two people's description of Lu You's agile skills, Zheng Xiezi realized that Lu You was actually a martial artist.
In this case, Master Ma San had to treat it with caution.
Moreover, because of his relationship with County Magistrate Lang, Master Ma San also knew some things that others did not know.
That's the business of soldiers and bandits.
Zuo Yunfeng and the villagers of Heyuan were going to the government office to report that they had killed many soldiers and bandits and asked the government office to collect the bodies.
But when the government sent people the next day, they found that the weapons and even armor of the soldiers and bandits had disappeared.
They suspected that Zuo Yunfeng did it, but they didn't dare to pursue it.
After all, Zuo Yunfeng had revealed his identity before and told County Magistrate Lang that he was from the Zuo family of Liangzhou Prefecture.
Although Jianhe County is only a county in the southwest of Qingzhou Prefecture, it is a thousand miles away from Liangzhou Prefecture.
But after all, more friends mean more paths, so County Magistrate Lang still did not make things difficult for Zuo Yunfeng.
Master Ma Sanye and County Magistrate Lang talked about this matter over a drink. At that time, County Magistrate Lang said that it was a pity that the weapons of the soldiers and bandits were not confiscated.
This time Lu You took out a sword!
Master Ma San immediately combined the two things together.
Especially when Zuo Yunfeng rode on a tree branch at Lu You's house and howled like a ghost two nights ago, half of the town couldn't sleep well.
It is almost certain that Lu You must have a close relationship with Zuo Yunfeng.
Master Ma San even suspected that Lu You might have participated in killing those soldiers and bandits!
As for this speculation, although Master Ma San was afraid of Lu You's martial arts, he did not care too much about it.
After all, ordinary warriors, even if they know some fists and feet, can be directly surrounded and killed as long as they are equipped with bows and crossbows.
As for Zuo Yunfeng, the place is far away and even if he is killed, the news may not be able to get back to the Zuo family.
What worries Master Ma San is the second point that Lu You thinks is the most impossible: Zhao Wenbo.
The household registration book of the government office shows that the small courtyard at No. 3, Buhou Street is the property of Zhao Wenbo.
The fact that Zhao Wenbo lent his yard to Lu You to live in shows that he cares very much about this younger generation.
A scholar is not even in the eyes of Master Ma San. Even if Zhao Wenbo has many friends in the town, no one can shake County Magistrate Lang in Jianhe County.
But scholars can’t do this, but juren can!
County Magistrate Lang once said that Zhao Wenbo was quite talented and would most likely stand out in this autumn examination.
If Zhao Wenbo really passed the imperial examination and came back to find out that he had stolen Lu You's secret recipe, then things would be really troublesome.
It was precisely because of this that Master Ma San lowered his posture and chose to cooperate with Lu You.
He is waiting for the results!
If Zhao Wenbo fails the exam again this time, he will become the scholar who runs a restaurant again.
Then he would not give Zhao Wenbo another chance to turn things around.
He wants to get the recipe for pancakes and the recipe for golden crisps.
He even wanted to take away Zhao Wenbo's wife, Liu!
This is what Master Ma San really wants to do!
However, Master Ma San didn't tell anyone about these thoughts. Even his most caring friend Zheng Xiezi was unaware of it, let alone Lu You and the others.
Although he knew that Zheng Xiezi and others must be plotting against him, because he couldn't figure out their true thoughts, Lu You could only take one step at a time for the time being.
For two consecutive days, Lu You asked Lu Ming to deliver cakes to Changlefang at noon on time.
The daily deposit of one tael and two cents was delivered to Lu You without any error.
The two sides cooperated harmoniously and everything seemed very harmonious.
These two days were also the two most relaxing days that Lu You had experienced since he traveled here.
Lu You just basks in the sun every day, learns how to make pancakes from Widow Zhou, and when he gets upset, he squeezes Lu Yi and reaps a wave of negative emotions. His life is so comfortable.
Plus Tiantian who comes to chat with her every day, and Luming who acts silly when he sees Tiantian, it’s so fun to see Luyou and his couple on the spot!
Even Lu You hoped that his life would go on like this.
Even if it can only last for three to five months, it would be fine. After all, the two businesses of sesame cakes and pancakes can bring her a two-figure income every day.
She only needs to maintain it for a hundred or eighty days. Even if Zheng Xiezi and others turn against her, she can take two or three hundred taels of silver and run away with her whole family.
But according to the law that time travelers must have a lot of things to do, how could Lu You possibly have time to spare?
Sure enough, at noon on the third day, after delivering the pancakes, Lu Ming returned to the courtyard with a strange look on his face.
"Second sister, this is the deposit for tomorrow's pancakes."
As he spoke, Lu Ming reached out and placed the purse in his hand on the table.
Lu You hummed and was about to put the purse away, but when he reached out to touch it, he was stunned.
Because he has been handling silver every day these days, Lu You has become more and more sensitive to the weight of silver.
How can this be just one or two taels?
It feels like it weighs nearly half a pound, and it feels a bit heavy when I hold it in my hand.
Feeling something was wrong, Lu You quickly opened his purse and poured out the money inside.
This was not a big deal, as there was no broken silver in it. All that fell out were whole silver coins of one tael each, six in total.
"Six taels of silver?"
Lu You looked at Lu Ming in confusion.
"What the hell is going on?"
Hearing this, Lu Ming also shook his head slightly: "I don't know, Zheng Xiezi just said that we can make as many pancakes as we can."
"He used this money to reserve 100 tickets first."
"He told us to just do it and if we didn't have enough money, we could always ask him for more!"
What the hell is this Zheng Scorpion doing?
Hearing Lu Ming's words, Lu You couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Isn’t it just to boost the morale of gamblers?
Is it necessary to reserve 100 tickets?
Could it be that Zheng Xiezi has really started to act as a general agent and supply goods to all the casinos in Qingshi Town?
