Engaging with power

"Oh, it's like this, since the young master's handed over the wine shop to the old master's. The old master didn't know how to get the supply of Qing Mao wine from the only inn in the cottage."

Qing Mao Liquor, also known as Qing Zhu Liquor, was created by the patriarch of the Gu Yue clan. Among them, Qing Mao has the meaning of unifying Qing Mao Mountain. It can be said that it is the first good wine in the Gu Yue village.

Fang Yuan thought for a while: "It seems that Gu Yue Dong Tu probably got the supply from the inn because of Fang Zheng's help. Ha ha ha, it's a good plan, but Gu Yue Man Shi often comes here to drink. Is it really for the Qing Mao wine, or is it something else?"

On the other side, the second shopkeeper had already brought over the wine jar containing Qing Mao wine. This wine jar was only half the size of a normal wine jar, but when the seal was opened, a mellow aroma of wine wafted out, filling the entire wine shop.

The old man sitting by the window drinking alone also turned his head because of the aroma of the wine and put his eyes on the jar of wine. It was indeed a good jar of wine.

"It's really not bad." Gu Yue Man Shi smelled the aroma of the wine overflowing from the wine jar, and couldn't help but admire, and then left after mentioning two jars of wine.

"Gu Yue Man Shi really doesn't seem to have any other thoughts. He just doesn't know how he killed the four Bai clan Gu Masters and regained his strength..."

Fang Yuan naturally knew news of Gu Yue The Man Shi's return, but he really didn't know anything about the capital that made him return, the heads of the four Bai clan Gu Masters.

After recovering from his contemplation, Fang Yuan found that the old shopkeeper was still standing beside him. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go down, there is nothing to do with you here."

The old man didn't leave, with a hesitant look on his face, hesitant to say anything.

In the end, he mustered up his courage and said:

"Young Master, can you bring this wine shop back? The little one and all the guys want to work under you. You don't know, when the old boss came back, he deducted a portion from us. Most of the remuneration, just relying on the monthly primeval stone, it is difficult for the little ones to support their families."

Fang Yuan shook his head expressionless:

"I have sold this restaurant to him. According to the agreement, I can't get it back. Besides, I don't want to run the business of this restaurant. You go."

"However, Shaodong's family..."

The old man stopped, thinking that Fang Yuan was the kind of weak and deceitful person who would change his decision as long as he begged.

Fang Yuan frowned in displeasure: "Remember, I'm no longer your young master! Don't call me that anymore."

He had previously raised the salary for these people, but just wanted to mobilize their enthusiasm for work and use it for himself. These people think that he is good at talking, so they have to move an inch, which is extremely stupid.

Now by selling vital leaves he can only be self-sufficient. I have been worrying about bitter wine all the time, why should I go back to the liquor store for these people?

"But the young master, we really can't live anymore! You are so kind and compassionate, have pity on us." The shopkeeper thumped and fell to his knees, begging bitterly.

This noise immediately attracted the attention of the drinkers around.

 Fang Yuan sneered, picked up the wine jar on the table and smashed it on the head of the shopkeeper.

A compliment.

Immediately, the body of the altar shattered, the wine splashed, and the old man's head was bleeding.

"I really thought I wouldn't dare to kill you? You don't wink, get out." Fang Yuan's eyes were cold and murderous.

The old shopkeeper was agitated by this murderous aura, his whole body trembled in an instant, he woke up suddenly, and hurriedly retreated.

No matter which world there is, there will always be a group of weak people who beg for alms from the strong, but they don't know how to behave. It seems that helping them is the style of the strong and not helping them is wrong.

The weak should have the appearance of the weak, either accept their fate and be humble as slaves, or work hard and work hard in a low-key manner.

The strong help the weak,

It's just a charity when you're in a good mood. The weak do not work hard and they beg the strong with shameless face, and there must be a result, and they are entangled. Then it's justified to be rejected.

People who are willing to be weak and do not spontaneously work hard and just want to beg from the strong are not worthy of sympathy at all.

Gu Yue Man Shi came to a luxurious mansion with two jars of green thatched wine and the servant at the door greeted him respectfully when he saw him.

This is the mansion that Fang Zheng had given to him after he became the young patriarch. The patriarch Gu Yue Bo had carved beams and painted buildings. It could also be ranked in the top ten in the entire Gu Yue village. There were also seven or eight servants to serve him, which can be said to be very enjoyable.

"Isn't this the great hero of our Gu Yue clan?" Fang Zheng sat in the lobby and looked at Gu Yue Man Shi, with a half smile.

Gu Yue Man Shi put two jars of green thatched wine on the table, scratched his head and said with a smile:

"Master Fang Zheng is serious, I am only your subordinate, and only you are the real hero of our Gu Yue village. "

Fang Zheng didn't answer the question, just motioned Man Shi to sit down with his eyes. He got up and opened the Qing Mao wine on the table. As soon as he opened it, a strong aroma of wine permeated.

"Yes, yes, it's refreshing and delicious, that's what it tastes like." Fang Zheng poured a bowl of drinks and took a few sips, then said: "I don't dare to be a hero, I'm just seeking self-protection. By the way, let you inquire about the news. How's it going?"

Since the last time Fang Zheng gave gifts, Gu Yue Man Shi has been invested in Fang Zheng's command, acting as the eyes and ears of Fang Zheng, buying Gu materials and doing things that Fang Zheng is inconvenient to appear in person.

"I've already found out that Fang Yuan has been working on collecting bitter wine. I don't know what I want to do right now, but give me a while, and I'll definitely be able to investigate it." Gu Yue Man Shi continued: "As for the actions of the Gu Yue Chi Shan's group against the River Swallowing Toad, it will be three days later, and there will be a family member to guide him."

After three days?

Fang Zheng drank all the wine in the bowl and started planning in his heart. He got up and wanted to pour a bowl of Qing Mao wine again, Gu Yue Man Shi got up and helped Fang Zheng pour the wine. Fang Zheng chuckled: "Senior Man Shi, you are very proactive."

"Wuzhi Kong is a hundred years old, the young clan leader, I can't bear the word senior." Gu Yue Man Shi even had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. These days, he really realized Fang Zheng's methods, from Since entering the mansion, it has been trembling.

Fang Zheng put down the filled wine glass, looked at Man Shi and said with a smile, "Is it hot?"

"It's neither hot nor hot." Gu Yue Man Shi quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, but he felt like he was shedding more sweat.

"Don't worry, I'm still very kind to my people." Fang Zheng knew that his recent tactics were cruel, and Gu Yue Man Shi still has lingering fears. Stone some favors too. The old man Gu, which he injected with his true essence into the aperture, released tons of primeval stones, which immediately covered the table: "These are 2,000 primeval stones, which are the funds for your mission this time. Now, I don't care. What means do you use, you must let the Gu Masters and mortals in the whole village know that in three days, Gu Yue Man Shi will go down the mountain to drive out the rank five Gu insects and swallow the River Toad. As long as Man Shi can complete the task, the remaining primeval stones will be I'll give it to you."

"As long as the task is completed and the news is spread, the rest is mine?"

Gu Yue Man Shi looked at the primeval stones piled up in front of him. These were two thousand primeval stones. You must know that even if he was the leader of the Man Shi group at the time, he would only be able to receive 50 primeval stones in half a month. Performing the task, that is also the acquisition of 3 to 5 stones, how long does it take him to accumulate such a large amount of wealth. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said "Don't worry, Young Patriarch, I promise to complete the mission."
