he walks in the world

Chapter 15 Master, such a master
Cooperation!
The Juyi Gang really cooperated with the Nanshan Gang!
None of the people present were fools. Du Ruo's words had clearly expressed the cooperation between the Nanshan Gang and the Juyi Gang.

Everyone looked at the leaders of the Zhongxin Gang and the Changfeng Gang without showing any trace, as if watching the excitement was not a big deal.

These two are also very wealthy people. Others don't know how they feel in their hearts, but the faces of these two are normal, as if this matter has nothing to do with them at all. The county magistrate cupped his hands and said: "Master County, it is a good thing that the Nanshan Gang and the Juyi Gang can put aside their grievances and join forces to promote the development of our Shuixi County!"

County Magistrate Song nodded with great interest.

In the ensuing discussion, there were almost no accidents. The people who came had their own plans and were sure, otherwise they would not receive invitations. The only exception was the Nanshan Gang, which also had problems after the Juyi Gang expressed their cooperation. Easy to solve.

The atmosphere on the big Tai'an ship was very peaceful.

Du Ruo is also listening carefully, and will participate in the discussion from time to time, but basically they will say something irrelevant. After all, this summit is hosted by Song County Magistrate. Officially, Shuixi's interests.

Du Ruo couldn't help admiring the magistrate Song's vigor and vigor. The county magistrate Song was indeed a man of great skill. The official territory is still under his control.

Of course, this is indeed inseparable from the general trend of the world today. The world of Qin is majestic, but it has been firmly suppressed by the imperial court. This also allows most local governments to also take advantage of the situation to suppress the rivers and lakes.

However, County Magistrate Song's means are beyond doubt.

This black-and-white meeting in Shuixi didn't end until the afternoon. There were those who were satisfied and those who were dissatisfied, but under the general trend, those who were dissatisfied could only hold back. He has already obtained the wharf freight qualification issued by the government that the Juyi Gang needs most.

The next step is to receive the cargo ship from the Nanshan Gang and start arranging cooperation with the Nanshan Gang. Although he and Deng Fangzhou are only in a verbal alliance, he is not at all worried that Deng Fangzhou will break the contract. After all, in this general situation, black and white is just empty talk. Really useful, only environmental pressure.

Today's Nanshan Gang urgently needs the help of the Juyi Gang, Deng Fangzhou is impossible and dare not do anything that digs his own grave in the matter of cooperation.

In addition, Du Ruo has more important things to do, which is to prepare for the next three state township examinations, and strive to win a job title. Of course, it doesn't matter if you fail the exam.

The sun gradually began to set in the west, and the people on the Tai'an big boat began to gradually disperse. Some people had dark faces, some were full of glory, some didn't even say hello, and some people greeted each other in small groups. .

Except for Hu Yuan, the chairman of Changyuan Chamber of Commerce, a group of people bid farewell to Du Ruo, and some of the others came to greet Du Ruo, but most of them didn't have much contact with Du Ruo. After leaving, Du Ruo also greeted Heitou and prepared to leave.

Just when Du Ruo was about to disembark, County Magistrate Song was also about to disembark. When the two met, Du Ruo took the lead in saluting, "Your Excellency."

County Magistrate Song said with a smile on his face, "Shanjiang, what do you think about this Dragon Boat Festival?" As if afraid that Du Ruo might misunderstand, County Magistrate Song said again: "You and I are both scholars, not businessmen, let's be honest. To be honest, don’t make up some good words to perfuse me.”

Du Ruo smiled slightly, and said: "The students don't have much thought, the only feeling is that they admire the magistrate of the county. It's not that I deliberately flatter you, but to seek truth from facts. I was in Shuixi County when I was very young, and I know what this place is like. Yes, in just three years, the great changes have really shocked people.”

County Magistrate Song stroked his chin with a short beard, looked at the bank of the Tai'an River where the crowd gradually dispersed, and said, "Then, Shan Jiang, what do you think about Shuixi?"

Du Ruo narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "My lord, you probably know the reason why a student becomes the leader of this gang. It's more suitable for me to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, haha!"

At this time, both of them had disembarked and reached the shore.

Du Ruo cupped his hands and said, "My lord, if nothing happens, the student will leave."

Magistrate Song nodded.

When Du Ruo left, Magistrate Song kept watching his back with deep eyes.

…………

In Wutong Town, mist filled the air in the early morning, covering the entire Wutong Town from the mountainside, and at a glance, it was only hazy, adding a bit of a different atmosphere. However, the sun has not yet When I came out of the mountain, the town was already full of people.

Ling Xiaoxiao, who was dressed in red, crossed a long bridge with a bunch of candied haws in his hand, muttering in his mouth: "You are a wandering rivers and lakes, and you study in the house every day, why don't you go to take the first prize? Don't accompany me!"

After biting off a candied haws in one bite, she muttered again: "What kind of bullshit boss, let this lady wait for you here for so many days, you better pray that you don't fall into my hands, I want you to look good..."

Before she finished speaking, Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly froze. In the mist, she saw a woman under a willow tree by the river not far away, walking towards the river with her hunched body. diving.

She rubbed her eyes, swallowed her saliva, immediately dropped the candied haws in her hand, and shouted: "Don't jump!"

A little under her feet, her body is as light as a leaf over the railing of a long bridge, leaning like a swallow skimming the water and floating towards the river, with her toes touching the surface of the water, there are slight ripples, and a drop of water is taken away from her shoes, with a ticking sound Falling, splashing a splash on the calm river.

"Don't jump!"

Ling Xiaoxiao skimmed across the water, stretched out her right hand to hug the old woman who just jumped down and was about to touch the water, then her right foot touched the water again, the ripples were big, she gently stretched out her left hand, and grabbed a willow branch , pulled hard, and with the willow branch as thick as a little finger, unexpectedly threw the two of them to the river bank.

Slowly falling to the ground, Ling Xiaoxiao let out a long breath of relief, and hurriedly asked: "Auntie, is there anything you can't take care of, why are you looking for death, isn't it good to be alive?"

The old woman looked at Ling Xiaoxiao, dumbfounded, and it took her a while to recover, she knelt on the ground with a "plop", and cried loudly: "Fairy, what are you doing to save me, I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore. It doesn't make any sense anymore, my husband is dead, and now my son is dead, what am I doing in this world... Please let me die, I beg you!"

Ling Xiaoxiao squatted down, helped the old woman to sit under the willow tree next to her, and comforted her: "Auntie, my condolences have changed, no matter if it is your husband or your child, their spirits in the sky will not be willing to see you like this... "

The old woman quietly looked at Ling Xiaoxiao's attire, a strange look flashed in her eyes, she burst into tears immediately: "They...they were murdered by traitors, pity me...I can only helplessly Seeing that traitor get away with it, but I can't avenge them and let their spirits rest in peace, I... I can only die!"

"Auntie, tell me that the government doesn't care, and I will help you!"
