Everyone knew about Huang Ermaoer's stupid character. Even Su Wang, who was scolded, didn't take it too seriously and pretended he didn't hear it. Liu Xu changed his words and continued to look at the others and asked, "Do the rest of you have any opinions?" After Zheng Hongyun hesitated for a moment, he said, "Liu Shuai, I think this matter is a misunderstanding. Maybe it's a misunderstanding." Huang Xiaomao offended the group of Chu soldiers with his words. There is no need to go to war with them over this trivial matter. These people are desperadoes and they will fight to the death. We who have a family and a family don't have to worry about this. Fighting them for a trivial matter." Upon hearing this, Huang Ermao immediately became furious again, pointing at Zheng Hongyun and yelling: "Zheng Hongyun, is it such a trivial matter that your fucking brother was beaten so badly? , he is still a hired worker that we all hired together. Now he is being beaten, and it is because of our business. We, the employers, must come forward to seek justice for him. " "Er Mao, you can't say that." At that time, he also said, "Your brother really doesn't count as an employee of all of us. We didn't hire him. He just sells for us and can only be regarded as a business partner. Besides, this kind of guaranteed profit Everyone is rushing to do the business, and we don¡¯t have to ask your brother to do it. If you want everyone to stand up for your brother, it is completely a personal vendetta. You can find someone to help you seek revenge alone, but there is no need to involve everyone. I want to fight with you, don't you think? Guifa, you and Er Mao have the best relationship at all times. You can definitely go with him to settle accounts with those Chu soldiers, but my relationship with Er Mao is only average, but we are not willing to go. " As soon as Qi Liulang said this, the other two Wu Hous immediately agreed, saying that this was Huang Ermao's own family matter, and there was no need to lead everyone to fight. As a result, there are four people who object to everyone going over to seek revenge. Li Maocai also said at this time: "I think, although this matter is not a big deal, it is not a small matter either. After all, Ermao's brother was beaten while selling candied haws, and Ermao's brother also said that those Chu people They have to charge him a monthly salary, and the lion wants to give them 500 yuan a month. Doesn¡¯t this mean that we will all have no way to make money in the future? This will cut off our financial resources and must be solved. " Huang Ermao couldn't help but rejoice when he heard this: "Yes, yes, these Chu barbarians want to cut off all of us' money. If we want to continue doing business somewhere in the future, we must teach them a lesson. " Li Maocai. Then he quickly shook his head and said: "Er Mao, that's not what I meant. It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. We have all seen that group of Chu barbarians. They are very fierce. Last time, several people who competed with them for territory were killed. I heard that many people were killed by them. There is no need to confront them head-on. In my opinion, peace is more important than anything else. Sit down and talk slowly. Five hundred dollars a month is too much. More, less, one or two hundred dollars, we can¡¯t afford it. I even think we might as well just transfer the candied haws business at the pier to them and let them sell it for us, so that everyone can make money.¡± Huang Er Mao was stunned when he heard this. Li Maocai's suggestion was approved by at least five or six people, including Yu Pengfei. Huang Ermao was so angry that he shouted: "You are all cowards! After all, we are also Wuhou and have official status, why are we afraid of those Chu barbarians?" Li Maocai smiled bitterly and said: "Er Mao, it's not like you don't know that behind these Chu barbarians They also have some backers, otherwise how could they be able to gain a foothold on the other side of the river? I heard people say that they pay ten taels of silver to the Navy Yamen every month. They have the Navy as their backers, so how can they be afraid of us, a little guy like us? Wu Houpu. Therefore, we still value peace, and it is best for everyone to be friends." Li Maocai's words attracted another echo. Huang Ermao couldn't say anything to refute for a while. "Then what do you think?" Liu Xu asked a few people who had not expressed their opinions yet. Wang Wu hurriedly said, holding up his hands and saying: "Liu Shuai, I listen to you. If you say to fight, fight, and if you say to make peace, make peace." Chen Gui also quickly followed up and said: "Me too." Yu Bingcai, who was dull by nature, also handed over his hands and stuttered. Parrot imitated and said: "Me too." When these three people expressed their opinions, the other people couldn't help but curse in their hearts, and at the same time, they also slightly regretted that they just talked about the matter to death. After all, this matter ultimately depends on the decision of Liu Xu, the commander-in-chief of Wuhou. Liu Xu nodded and glanced at everyone again. Just as he was about to express his position, Jiang Maocai quickly bowed and said, "Liu Shuai, I also listen to you. If you want to fight, I will support you." He took the lead, and the others , even Zheng Hongyun, who had a personal grudge against Huang Ermao, quickly came to his senses and expressed his willingness to obey Liu Shuai's orders. Liu Xu said to himHe was quite satisfied with his expression, so he raised his head slightly to stop them from continuing to express their loyalty, and said: "My meaning is very simple, that is one word: fight. Since this group of outsiders have bullied us, You still want to collect our protection fees and cut off our financial resources. How can it be so cheap? "Liu Xu's statement made the previous leaders and factions change their colors slightly. Seeing this, Liu Xu had no choice but to continue: "What Maocai just said makes sense, but do you think these Chu people will honestly make money with us in peace? If they know our daily profits, they will definitely go further and say They may try to blackmail us even more. If we sue for peace, it will make them feel weak and easy to bully. In this world, everyone bullies the weak and fears the strong. If you want to compromise, don¡¯t you understand this simple truth? From now on, you will have to drink the northwest wind. If you are greedy for life, you'd better resign immediately and go home to take care of your children. I have finally found a fortune for you, but you can't let it go. Today, these outsiders are giving us a bargain, and tomorrow the locals will come and give us another blow. In the end, none of us will have to do this business. " Liu Xu's words are very simple, and everyone will think about it carefully. Understand immediately. Jiang Maocai was the first to say with a look of shame: "Liu Shuai is still thinking long-term. My subordinates just focused on the present, but forgot about the future. If we agree to the blackmail of those Chu barbarians this time, there will definitely be other things tomorrow and the next day." If someone blackmails us, they will think that we are easy to bully. "Yu Pengfei also said sternly: "That's the reason. Liu Shuai thinks it through. We are all short-sighted and don't think carefully enough." "You are a poor scholar who is short-sighted. Don't get involved with me." Su Wang joked loudly with a proud smile, "I took the lead from the beginning. Although the Chu barbarians have some skills, I think it is still easy to deal with them. "Wang Meng also said: "Monkey is right, isn't it just a few of Ma Chu's rebels? I killed several of them back then. I think it's better to kill them now. These rebels who have fled from other places have no roots, so even if they are all killed, it won't matter much." Wang Meng's murderous words made many people's faces change color again.
