The reborn cannon fodder

Chi Tianyun met Mu Sigui for some reason, and the two of them stayed together, unable to leave by the sleeves of a plump and round uncle, and there was a thin man beside the uncle, crossing his arms. The waist scolded the two of them until they spit.

"What's the matter with you, a young man who doesn't look at the way when you walk? This is passed down by my grandfather. It's an antique. Do you understand the antique! It's worth a lot! It's going to be given to the nobles! You just broke it like this How to pay? Ah, how to pay!"

Chi Tianyun: "..."

"The two of you can come with me to estimate the price..." Mu Sigui's voice was too low, and he was interrupted by the scolding voice just after speaking.

"And you, the younger generation, too. Since you are on the same road, why don't you pull people a little bit! You bump into people without thinking! What's wrong with your eyes slanted! You still have to estimate, that's ours. The livelihood of the whole family depends on it, can you estimate the price?"

Mu Sigui: "..."

"Here, here, I went well, young master, obviously you rushed out by yourself..." When Chi Tianyun saw that Mu Sigui was also being scolded, he was so anxious that his head was sweating.The last time he was scolded like this on the street was when he was misunderstood by the old doctor in Hongye County, but the old doctor is a gentleman, so he would not scold him too badly, let alone make trouble for no reason.

It's a pity that his voice was too low, and he couldn't finish his sentence, so he was interrupted by the fat man's crying.

"My life is miserable! My family's livelihood! It's so broken! How can I live!"

People around were laughing, discussing, complaining, and helping both sides of the conversation, buzzing and buzzing for a while.

Mu Changyun managed to squeeze in front of the people, and just asked, "What's going on?" Mu Sigui and Chi Tianyun showed the same expressions of "I see a savior!" and rushed towards him.

Mu Changyun was startled by the exaggerated actions of the two, and couldn't help but take a half step back, and immediately there were two shouts to prevent him from leaving.

"Brother Changyun!"

"Big nephew!"

Everyone's eyes were drawn over at once.This feeling of being watched by so many people... really makes the scalp tingle!

"Brother Changyun! Come and judge! I..."

"Big nephew! Come and help! They..."

"Oh, you have another helper, what do you want! My master..."

Mu Changyun's head hurt from their quarrel, with a stern face and air-conditioning all over his body, he raised his hand, calmed down the chattering of several people, and then said, "Uncle Tang, you go first." After a pause, he added, "Be concise!"

"I ran into Mr. Chi just now, and I went swimming with him. Unexpectedly, I walked well, but I was squeezed by the crowd by mistake, and that's it."

"So you didn't see exactly what happened?"

Mu Sigui nodded obediently: "Well, there were a few people between us at the time, blocking it."

"...Brother Jingyan, tell me." After a pause, he added, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Master, uh, I was pushed a few steps away by the crowd just now, and then these two people rushed out of the alley suddenly, I couldn't stop, so I bumped into each other, and then he was holding a bag Something fell to the ground."

"Did it come out suddenly?"

Chi Tianyun also nodded obediently: "Well, I wanted to go back to Mr. Mu at that time, so I looked around."

Mu Changyun turned his head to look at those two people, one was still sobbing, and the other was indignant, and said to them: "You two, the city is crowded, so it is inevitable to bump into each other. Since the two of you just rushed out of the alley by yourself, bumped into each other. It’s too much for someone to be so recalcitrant.”

"Hmph, you and them both are in the same group! Why don't you just say what they say! Which eye of yours saw us rushing out of the alley and bumping into people?!"

Seeing that there were more and more people around, Mu Changyun felt that it was inappropriate to stay here, and then said: "The two of you might as well go down to a secluded place, so that we can slowly discuss the solution."

"Hmph, let's go with you, isn't that what you want to do?!"

... For a moment, Mu Changyun was helpless. It was hard to deal with this skinny man's mischief, but if they just agreed to pay the money, who knows how the other party would open up?After thinking for a while, he said again: "I don't know what was broken, Your Excellency?"

"That's a family heirloom of our master!" The skinny man got excited when he mentioned it, "It's a screen decoration carved from a whole piece of fragrant flower rock crystal! I am reluctant to take it out as a gift to ask for help!"

Hearing this, Mu Changyun was startled, is it the screen again?

No wonder he is overreacting now. In fact, Master Pei almost died trying to find out what happened to Shi Pingfeng before, and the mysterious Ding Hui just said that if he wants to investigate Xingzhi Villa, he needs to start with Shi Pingfeng. And now, another screen appeared?

It may not be such a coincidence, but this suspicious point must not be let go, Mu Changyun feels that this matter needs to be explored further.

"You two, I know the owner of the restaurant on East Street, why don't you let him be a witness, I will definitely not blackmail you two, but this is not a place to talk about things after all, please come with me The East Street restaurant, sit down and discuss?"

The thin man wanted to say something, but the fat uncle interrupted him while wiping his tears and said in a low voice: "Look, you are also reasonable people, since the young master said so, I am willing to take this trip with you. "As soon as he finished speaking, the thin man didn't say any more, he just picked up the burden on the ground with his master, packed it up again, put back the pieces, and then went to the food shop with a few people.

Mu Changyun originally thought that the two would continue to entangle, and planned to ask a guard to find the money shopkeeper of the food shop to come and help, but he didn't expect that the fat uncle would simply agree, which was a bit unexpected.It seems that this fat uncle is not an unreasonable person, and although this skinny man is difficult to deal with, he still listens to the master's words.

A group of people walked into the restaurant all the way, and Mu Changyun probably told the shopkeeper about the matter, and was led to the back hall behind the restaurant for receiving guests.

After finally sitting down, shopkeeper Qian asked the servant to bring tea to people, and after that, the few people began to talk about business.

"You two, I wonder if you can tell me the ins and outs of the whole thing?"

The fat uncle seemed to have calmed down after walking all the way, took a sip of tea, sighed, and said: "Oh, I know that a few young masters were rude just now, but now, I really have nowhere to ask for help!"

It turned out that about half a year ago, this uncle surnamed Zheng had a distinguished guest at his home.The distinguished guest said that he liked all kinds of screen decorations very much, and wanted to buy his family's ancestral Fanghua rock crystal carving screen with a lot of money.The fat uncle still has some property in his family, and his ancestors were officials. Now that he is in business, although his talents are mediocre, he is still considered a small rich family.Uncle Zheng always valued family heirlooms and was not short of money, so he rejected the man's request, treated him well for a few days, and then politely sent him out of the house.

I thought the matter was just like this, but who knew that three months ago, those small businesses of his family suddenly began to be suppressed frequently. Someone from the government said that he was handed a certificate and owed a large amount of business money and did not pay back. If this continues, all his family's property will be confiscated to mortgage the debt. If it is not enough, the house will have to be ransacked.

Uncle Zheng was frightened immediately, but he didn't know which god he had offended. Finally, he found the county clerk and gave him a lot of gifts before he let out a word, saying that he had offended the wife of the owner of Xingzhi Mountain Villa. Only one of the stewards in the house will end up like this.

After Uncle Zheng heard this, he was still puzzled. Xingzhi Villa is the biggest force in Tianci County. He is a small family, and he has never seen their housekeeper. How could he offend him?

The clerk shook his head when he saw that he was so clueless, and finally couldn't bear it, so he reminded him that half a year ago, he drove away a guest from his home...

Only then did Uncle Zheng suddenly realize that he had offended no one, but because of the screen, if he couldn't buy it by force, he had to grab it by force!

Although he was angry in his heart that the other party was bullying others, there was nothing he could do.Now, in order not to let the whole family go to drink the Northwest Wind, he has no choice but to hurriedly take this heirloom with him, and rush to Fengdu City to send the things out, just begging someone to give him a way to survive.

As a result, he came out too hastily, and forgot about the large festivals in the past few days. When he first arrived here, he was shocked by the crowds of people. He was afraid that something might happen to the things he was carrying, so he tried to take the path as much as possible. .

Unexpectedly, there was an accident and was blocked by a few bastards at the entrance of the alley.Seeing that he was nervous and protecting the bundle in his arms, those people wanted to snatch him. He fled in a hurry under the cover of his servants, but he ran too fast and couldn't stop, so he bumped into someone on the street, and his things disappeared. After falling, I was full of despair for a while, and then wept bitterly.

"Master, it turns out that the noble person you want to give the gift to is the one who harmed us! This person is really devoid of conscience!" It was only at this time that the skinny man knew the reason for this, and when he slapped his thigh, his angry lips trembled.

"Hey, so what can we do? Our family can't afford to offend them." Uncle Zheng couldn't help but smile wryly. When it came to this kind of thing, he turned his head and said to Mu Changyun and others, "I also know what happened before. I really can't blame this young man, but there is really no other way. That person only asked for this screen by name, but now It was broken, and there is really no way out!"

When Chi Tianyun heard this, he was a little bit embarrassed for a while, but he was no longer angry about being scolded in the street before.

But Mu Sigui and Mu Changyun looked at each other, and also thought of Beiye's matter in his heart, and became suspicious.

They both come from the ancestors, are the same stone screen ornaments, and are also related to Xingzhi Villa. Except that the screen material of this family is more valuable, the rest of the similarities are too coincidental!Even if Mu Sigui didn't meet that Dinghui like Mu Changyun, he could smell the unusual meaning in it.

There must be a mystery in these screens!
