If the Water Margin

Chapter 243 Carnival Before the Road of No Return

Ximenqing

When Ximen Qing returned to Ximen Pharmacy, it was already time for lunch.

Far away, he saw Wang An standing in front of the door, stretching his neck and looking around. He didn't know what he was doing, but when Ximenqing approached, Wang An didn't see it until Ximen Qing came to Wang An, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you doing?" Wang An just reacted.

"Dear owner, where have you been?" Wang An's tone was very anxious.

"What's wrong?" Ximen Qing's heart turned around. What he was most worried about was that the situation had changed during his departure. In this kind of change, the most terrible thing is that the Wu brothers did not actually leave Yanggu. This thought made his fingers tremble a little.

"We are all worried that something will happen to you. You said that you can't do anything at this time. Otherwise, who can we count on?" There were some complaints in Wang An's tone.

Ximen Qing's heart slowly calmed down. Oh, I just went out for a simple walk and wanted to see if I could hear any new news. In fact, I was also very excited after listening to you in the morning. Although I didn't break the door panel like you, I had to blow a cold wind outside to calm down. Does it still hurt?" Ximenqing pointed his finger at his nose. He saw that Wang An's face was still red and swollen, and he did hit it in the morning.

"It's okay, just a little injury. There is no use for you to go out to inquire about news. I simply send people out, and the key thing is that I will go by myself. At this moment, you can't make a mistake at all. Don't stand on the street. There are many people and eyes. Go back quickly. Wang An made way to the door.

Ximen Qing quickly walked into the door of the pharmacy. In fact, think about it now, Wang An is also a good person. At least he is loyal to Ximenqing, but what's the use of loyalty? For Ximenqing, silver is the most important thing. There is no doubt that those who spend a lot of money on their lives (harmonious) in inexplicable places must die.

After Ximen Qing entered the door, he found that today's situation was a little different. In the past, as long as he came to the front, the guys were busy, but today's guys stood there, with their hands on both sides of their bodies, and there was no other movements, as if they were standing here waiting for Ximen Qing.

"This...what's going on?" Ximen Qing turned his head to ask Wang An.

Wang An also entered the door behind Ximenqing. Dongjia, that's the matter. The medicinal materials operated by our Ximen Pharmacy for so many years have been sorted out. Most of them have been sold and replaced with silver, and a small part of them have also been booked. Just waiting for the final transaction, the work of the guys is basically finished. Everyone has to tell you after the work is over. I calculated that you should be able to come back at noon, so I gathered all the guys in front and waited for your instruction. Wang An explained.

"Oh? Have all the medicinal materials been sold? How much money have you sold? This is what Ximenqing was most concerned about. He did not wait until later to ask Wang An alone, but chose to be in front of the guys, which also minimized the possibility of Wang An embezzling silver.

"This is the account book." As soon as Wang An raised his hand, a clerk next to him handed over a hard paper notebook as a leather notebook, and Wang An respectfully handed it to Ximen Qing. A total of 3,266 taels of silver were sold, and every detailed transaction is recorded in the account book.

Ximenqing opened the leader and took a rough look. He did not check the corresponding number in detail, because according to the shrewdness of people like Wang An, who dared to give himself the account book, then he must have found no problem in the accounts. Moreover, in front of so many guys, if you check them one by one, it will inevitably chill some people's hearts. Ximen Qing wants these people to be very useful. Don't put the cart before the horse because of this money.

What's more, this silver is much more than Ximen Qing expected. He didn't expect that Ximen Pharmacy has so much inventory. In the case of emergency sale, he can still discount more than 3,000 taels of silver. If it weren't for the bottom of 30,000 taels, Ximen Qing would be ecstatic to hear this number, but now Ximen Qing's identity has been different. He is already rich with 30,000 taels of silver... Thinking of this, Ximen Qing's heart seemed to have been hit by a hammer. No, it's not 30,000 taels. Now it's only 20,000 taels, and the 10,000 taels of silver was exchanged for two pieces of waste paper by the loyal person in front of him.

It took Ximen Qing several breaths to calm his anger. But once there are so many guys who have nothing to do, it is inevitable that something will happen if they stay at the Siemens pharmacy.

"Everyone has been working hard these days, and I also see it. However, don't worry, I, Ximenqing, swear to the gods here that all the people present are my brothers. In the future, with my Ximenqing's meal, I will never starve everyone. If I, Ximenqing, are rich and noble, I will definitely help everyone to be rich together. If what I say is wrong, then heaven and earth will be destroyed. Ximenqing's generous statement.

Of course, he doesn't believe in ghosts. If there were ghosts in this world, he would have been punished 10,000 times. Oaths only have a binding effect on those who are still clean. The vows made by those who are already dirty are just deceptive tricks. The reason why it is called a trick is that this useless thing has a surprisingly good effect on most people.

Sure enough, the staff at the scene were in high spirits and shouted the name of Ximenqing, almost shouting out Long Live.

Ximenqing stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet. The time limit for conscription in the imperial court is before the year, and now there is still a month left. In this way, I will give everyone a vacation first. After all, we are about to leave the country. I don't know how long it will take to come back. Although some words are depressing, I have to say that some of us will die in other places, but I think all people should have the confidence and determination to strive to be those who survive. This holiday, we can't let everyone be empty-handed. Wang An." Ximen Qing turned to Wang An. Send 30 taels of silver to each guy for the holiday.

Then Ximenqing faced the crowd again: "Don't save this money and have fun. If you have a family and want to leave money for your family, ask Wang's account and give you another 30 taels as a living expenses for your family. Before we hold the lights on the first night of December, we gathered at the Ximen Pharmacy. It will expire. All I can say is that you missed the best opportunity to realize a man's dream. Ximen Qing laughed.
