"Choose me!"

"Choose me!"

"Please choose me..."

"Hehehe, I feel like they will choose me..."

The four running tour guides looked at the migrating team eagerly. They each took out a sign from their arms, held it high in their hands and waved it vigorously.

Their faces showed their eagerness to attract business.

In their eyes is the expectation that they will be chosen.

However, what is surprising is that although their faces were full of eagerness and expectation, they did not show any fighting. They seemed to abide by a certain rule and had strict constraints on each other. They fought for each other and did not force themselves.

fight.

The most important thing is that they do not undermine each other. For example, the price required to hire them, the four people shouted in unison was fifty cents.

Fifty cents.

Hire for one day.

I have to say that the price is shockingly expensive.

The women were obviously distressed and subconsciously looked at the government officials. They kept hinting with their eyes that they wanted the government officials to reject these people.

Even the men in the team had expressions of pain on their faces at this time. Some couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "For fifty cents a day, I want to do this job too. How dare you

The asking price is simply a steal..."

Although the man's complaint was low, it was still heard by the four tour guides. However, the four tour guides were lifeless and they continued to stand there with smiles on their faces.

Several government officials in the team looked at each other quietly, and they all saw the cautious look in each other's eyes. After all, they had more knowledge than ordinary people, and it was easy to see what was fishy about these tour guides.

One of the yamen servants immediately walked towards the bullock cart and first glanced at the cowboy driving the cart. Then he walked to the side of the bullock cart and looked at a woman sitting among the pots and pans.

This woman is Zhao Laosi's eldest daughter-in-law.

The yamen servant coughed lightly to clear his throat, cupped his hands and cupped his fists and arched towards her. After performing the courtesy, he dared to come closer and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law Zhao Si, I'm afraid there's no way to avoid this situation. Then.

Four tour guides have been standing in the middle of the road, obviously determined to get us to hire one."

He paused for a moment before continuing to lower his voice and said: "As for the hiring of tour guides, several of us government officials think it is acceptable. The postmen kept giving instructions before leaving, and one of them also mentioned hiring tour guides.

Those postmen are kind-hearted, and their instructions will definitely not harm us..."

"Then hire one!"

Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law was quite decisive and said that she agreed to do this. However, she was a woman after all, and she felt a little worried about money when the matter came. She couldn't help but whispered: "It's just that the price is too scary. You have to pay for a day's employment."

Fifty cents. Can you guys go over and negotiate the price and try to bring the price down as much as possible?"

The government officer was startled for a moment, then turned to look at the tour guide over there.

Then he turned back again and said with a bitter smile: "I'm afraid it won't work. These four people are very vocal. It seems that fifty cents is a minimum limit, or it may be a rule in Youzhou City. They are obviously in a hurry.

They wanted to attract business, but they didn't express any intention of lowering prices..."

At this time, Niu Wa intervened and also lowered his voice: "If it is normal, if four people compete for business at the same time, the price will definitely drop. But I just observed it secretly for a long time and found that they have no plan in this regard. Obviously, fifty cents is really worth it."

is the bottom line.”

Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law sighed and said helplessly: "Then, then, that's all we can do. Let's hire a tour guide."

The yamen servant quickly nodded in agreement, but his face showed a look of fear, and he said again: "Sister-in-law Zhao Si, this money, this money..."

He suppressed the blush on his face, and finally gave it all, and said bravely: "We government officials are very poor, and we have spent a lot of money along the way."

Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law nodded, reached out and took out a package from her side, and sighed again: "I will pay for this money."

The yamen servant's face became even more astonished, and he lowered his head, looking extremely ashamed.

Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law raised her head and looked over there, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "There are four of us, who should we hire?"

The yamen servant quickly raised his head, with a flash of shrewdness in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "We have already known this in our minds, so we hired the tallest man. As for the reason, it is also very simple. His accent has a local flavor from Shandong.

, so he is probably a Shandong fellow who fled the famine and came to Youzhou."

Zhao's fourth daughter-in-law immediately understood and nodded repeatedly: "Since he is a fellow countryman, let's choose him."

As she spoke, she opened the package beside her and carefully took out five copper coins. Under the bright sunlight, the copper coins flashed. She handed the five copper coins to the yamen servant and said: "This is today's employment money. Take it."

Make a promise to him..."

The yamen servant was slightly surprised, his eyes fell on the five copper coins, and he said obviously distressed: "Sister-in-law Zhao Si, why did you take out the ten coins?"

When it comes to ten pieces of money, one piece can be worth ten cents.

Just because gold was added to this coin when it was minted, its value is much higher than ordinary copper coins.

However, he saw Zhao Laosi's fourth wife looking decisive and said solemnly: "Since you have decided to spend money, then spend it sincerely. We will pay him ten bucks directly, hoping to make him feel the feelings of the Shandong fellows..."

The officer nodded thoughtfully and said, "As long as you are not a ruthless person, you will definitely not deceive others when you see us being so sincere."

Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law also nodded and said: "That's what the slave family means."

…

The yamen servant no longer hesitated, picked up five large coins and turned back.

Soon he stood in front of the four tour guides again and pointed at the tall man without hesitation.

Suddenly!

"well……"

"really……"

"It's him again..."

He sighed three times in a row, looking quite disappointed.

However, although the three unsuccessful tour guides were disappointed, they did not show anger. Instead, they still had smiles on their faces and politely said goodbye.

Before leaving, the three of them did not forget to tease the tall man, saying: "Brother Tan, you have taken advantage of nostalgia again. Your accent sounds like you are from Shandong, and they really regard you as their fellow Shandong fellow."

...Hahahaha, if they knew that you were from Hebei Province and had committed road robbery before, I would probably be shocked."

This was obviously a joke before leaving, but the migrating team was really shocked.

Fortunately, the man spoke in time, smiled and cursed at the three tour guides: "Get out of here, if you dare to beat you to death again. If you scare my employer, be careful, I will go to the government office and file a complaint against you..."

The three tour guides laughed loudly and walked away along the official road.

At this time, the man turned around, with a solemn expression, he bowed his hands to the migrating people, and said: "Employers, you don't have to worry. Our name is Tan Shijiu, and we are from the Youyun Gu family. If even my status is compromised,

If you are worried, then no one in Youzhou can make you feel at ease."

A government official slowly approached and asked with a gleaming look in his eyes: "Those people just said that you had been a bandit before?"

"Not bad, I did it!"

Tan Shijiu did not shy away and nodded directly to admit, saying: "Not only have we been bandits, but we are also a tough bandit. Not only are we a tough bandit, but all the more than a thousand men in our family are tough bandits. This matter

To be honest, many people here in Youzhou know it."

The yamen officer's eyes flashed, and he quietly took a step back. At this time, several other yamen officers stood with him at the same time, testing together: "Since you have been a bandit, won't Youzhou Yamen arrest you?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Tan Jiujiu burst out laughing and suddenly reached out to grab his trouser leg. He pushed the trouser leg up with force, revealing a large scar on his calf.

He laughed and added: "Look at my legs, they were broken by my lady. At first, we were disobedient and unruly and opposed the lady's decision, so the lady was furious and broke it with a stick.

my leg……"

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "My legs were broken, and I was supposed to be a cripple for the rest of my life, but we were lucky enough to find a good head of the house. The head of the house's sister is a fairy, and she wields

The broken leg was reattached with just a wave of my hand."

Everyone listened with strange expressions on their faces, but they didn't understand the meaning of what he said.

Fortunately, Tan Shijiu spoke again, pointing to his calf with pride: "With my broken leg, who in Youzhou City wouldn't envy me? With my broken leg, who dares to question our origins?"

?I, Tan Shijiu, am a branch of the famous Youyun Gu family..."

A descendant of the Youyun Gu family?

These words were immediately caught in the ears of the government officials.

Niu Wa jumped out of the car, walked in and stood in front of him, and asked carefully and tentatively: "You said you are a descendant of the Youyun Gu family?"

Tan Jiujiu raised his head proudly and said: "Our Tan family originated from Wuyang County, Hebei Province, and all of them joined the Youyun Gu family six years ago. Everyone knows this, and we can't fool you."

Niu Wa and several government officials quietly looked at each other, and they all saw the relief in each other's eyes.

Since Tan Shijiu was born in a branch of the Youyun Gu family, he would definitely not be able to commit road robbery again.

Just at this time, I suddenly heard the voice of Zhao Wuji from the team, saying with great solemnity: "The Tan family in Wuyang, Hebei Province was once a rich man in the green forest. The family inherited the twelve Tan legs. At its most prosperous time, it occupied the

The thirty-mile hills bordering Hebei Road and Henan Road have tens of thousands of acres of land, which can be called a large family."

This man named Zhao Wuji obviously came from a green forest. He supported his injuries and walked slowly to a few government officials. He stared at Tan Jiujiu and said: "If we say they are gangsters, they were indeed gangsters in the past. But six years ago, they were gangsters."
