As Manager Mao walked down Tianbei Street, he was actually still in a dilemma.
In the end, does my wife care more about her sister or her own family?
Is my wife's plan to get back the two hundred taels of silver really reliable?
But it's useless to dwell on it.
Anyway, my family's fortune is gone now.
If I don't take the path pointed out by my wife, I can't think of any other way.
Thinking about it again, it actually doesn’t matter.
The risk is really not high.
Isn't it just to find the same people from last time and throw a few torches?
Manager Mao had already made up his mind.
If the five torches couldn't light the fire, he would kill him without adding any more money and continue to throw it away.
This is probably some kind of compromise.
Throw five sticks in.
If it doesn't light up, it won't be a big deal.
If it is lit, how can it be related to myself?
Those gangsters may not be caught, and even if they are caught, they cannot identify themselves, they have not passed their names, and they have already gone far away.
With this thought, Manager Mao felt at ease again.
The restaurant where Manager Mao and Hei Xiaolong's brothers agreed to meet was still the same.
The restaurant was closed, of course, but the door was still open.
The room was dark, and an oil lamp on a table was like a bean, reflecting the faces of the people around the table with an erratic and gloomy look.
Manager Mao checked and found out that the gangster he had discussed with him that day was indeed the gangster.
He immediately took out three taels of silver, threw it on the table, turned around and left.
"Hey," one of the people who had previously negotiated with Manager Mao shouted: "Why are you leaving?
Didn't we agree that you should follow us to the backyard wall of Mu Zhaotang, and we will throw the torches at you and count them.
If there are five torches, If the torch can't light the fire, you need more money."
Why was this man talking so verbosely and even telling all his plans?
Manager Mao frowned and hesitated: "Now I have changed my mind.
I won't add any more.
Just five of them, you can do whatever you want."
"That won't work."
He refused and said, "Look, we have six or seven brothers here.
If we only throw out five, one won't be enough for each person.
We should do as we originally agreed.
It's just a matter of a few steps."
Son, if you are not willing to go here, who knows if you have set a trap over there, waiting for us to take advantage of it?"
As he said that, another person suddenly stood up from the table, walked to Manager Mao, and said with a smile: "You gave me two taels of deposit before, right?
Now you give me three more taels, which adds up to five taels."
Right?"
The smile on the man's face seemed to be a model of smiling but not smiling: "How about this, it's still one tael of silver and one torch.
You count it on a per-person basis, and each person throws one.
How can we not let any brothers go in vain?"
Well."
Manager Mao suddenly had an inappropriate feeling in his heart.
If he didn't stay and watch, these people should be happy.
Maybe they would just steal five taels of silver without throwing away any money.

Why didn't they let him go?
What kind of trap could I possibly set on them?
What kind of trap could I have laid on them?
He was already a little hesitant, so he simply stopped talking at this time, just shook his head, then increased his pace and rushed towards the door.
He didn't make it to the door.
Because there was a hand on his shoulder.
That hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and Guanshi Mao could no longer move an inch.
Something must be wrong.
Manager Mao's heart was pounding, and Black or White could only turn around with a sad face, and just took something out of his arms.
It's just a few pieces of silver, maybe two taels.
"Brothers, why don't I admit it?
I'll take all the money and there's no need to deal with anything."
At this point, Manager Mao can only hope that he'll get bitten by these gangsters.
Unexpectedly, the hand on his shoulder retracted, and when it stretched out again, there was an extra waist card in it.
The door of the cabinet next to me that was originally used to store tableware was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
I saw that all the partitions inside had been removed, and a man came out of the cabinet with a pen and paper in his hand.
He was still talking about something black and white.
He didn't know whether he wrote it clearly, which made the gangsters angry.
Laughed.
It's over, it's white.
Manager Mao suddenly collapsed to the ground.
No one paid much attention to him, only loudly asking the shopkeeper to bring two more jugs of celebration wine, as if there was a dead person on the ground.
"Damn, I heard this guy did this for money."
A gangster spat at Manager Mao on the ground, "He really wants money rather than his life."
"So, places with oil and water are the slipperiest."
Another gangster said sincerely: "The more money you have, the more careful you have to be.
Everyone should know this."
Hahaha, everyone burst out laughing.
Only Manager Mao also opened his mouth wide, and what flowed into his mouth were salty and bitter tears.
Xia Xiaodong felt a little helpless, casually twisting a piece of silk cloth around and twisting it like a twist.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lu Yunzhi sat opposite her and was stacking pieces of materials: "Don't you think that planning a strategy five miles away is not as good as being a thousand miles away?"
Xia Xiaodong forced a smile: "Sister Yunzhi, I really can't be happy at all."
"Why?"
Lu Yunzhi was a little confused: "Guanshi Mao and Madam Geng, together with their two children, have been locked up and will not be dealt with until the first month.
Don't worry, I will definitely not let them go lightly."
Xia Xiaodong sighed, slowly untied the twist in his hand, and tried to smooth out the wrinkled fabric again.
"You're not thinking about the reputation of the Lu family, are you?"
Lu Yunzhi continued to guess: "The government office has not opened yet.
The team leader was hired with extra money to make a scene, so the matter will not spread."
"I'm worried about offending Fifth Aunt because of this matter."
Lu Yunzhi said flatly: "You won't worry about this.
Besides, don't look at Yun Jie as a bit heartless, with a slow head and a quick mouth, but Fifth Aunt is smart, so she doesn't It will be difficult for you because of the two servants.
Besides, on your side, she should be worried about offending you. " "Okay, okay, don't make random guesses."
Xia Xiaodong folded the wrinkled handkerchief in half, placed it on Lu Yunzhi's fold of fabric, and said with a smile, "Actually, I don't have anything to do."

"It was you who came up with the idea of letting people hide in the cupboard and write down what they said.
It was also you who told people to mention all the causes and consequences when talking."
Lu Yunzhi said curiously: "Nowadays, everyone It’s used, but you don’t even smile, how can you say it’s nothing?”
"Actually," Xia Xiaodong decided to just say it.
Lu Yunzhi might understand.
"I just don't understand why the couple are so vicious.
We don't have a life-and-death grudge, so why would they set a fire?"
"" Lu Yunzhi opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at Xia Xiaodong strangely
