But Lu Jianguo said nothing. He just put his palm on Shen Cong's shoulder and pinched it hard.

Chen Cong took out the small blue porcelain bottle from his arms.

"Mr. Wu Boyang, the accountant in Yipinlou, he wants me to poison it. This is the poison he gave me."

He looked into Lu Jianguo's eyes. He was determined to confess everything, but he was still a little scared. He was afraid that Lu Jianguo would get angry because of this.

"Since he gave it to you, you can just keep it." Lu Jianguo's expression was dull and there was no turmoil.

"But……"

"You won't do that anyway, right?"

"...Yes." Chen Cong lowered his head. He didn't dare to look at Lu Jianguo because he felt guilty.

Although he won't do that now, he did have that plan before.

"Put it away, it might come in handy in the future."

Chen Cong looked stunned.

Lu Jianguo's words always make people confused, and his methods of doing things are always unexpected.

But there is always one thing he feels unchanged, that is trust. When he decides to believe in someone, he will never doubt him.

So, Chen Cong tightly held the small bottle containing poison, and he swore in his heart that he would never let Lu Jianguo down.

That night, Qi Xiaomao came back very late.

At this time, Chen Cong was already lying on the bed to rest, but when he heard a noise outside, he couldn't help but prick up his ears and listened. He was not malicious, but was just curious out of instinctiveness.

Two young men, Wang Dazhuang and Cheng Zengzhu, came back in the carriage with Qi Xiaomao.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Jianguo smiled and went up to him, helping everyone pull the carriage to the backyard, "Have you all eaten?"

"I've eaten, the shopkeeper." Qi Xiaomao jumped out of the carriage.

Lu Jianguo praised: "Are you two little brothers really strong?"

"His name is Wang Dazhuang." Qi Xiaomao introduced: "His name is Cheng Zengzhu, and he is my sworn brother."

Lu Jianguo secretly wrote down the names of the two. The young man with square face was called Wang Dazhuang and the young man with Shaobing face was called Cheng Zengzhu.

"Okay, but it's a bit late today." Lu Jianguodao: "Qi Xiaomao, you can take them to your room for one night first, and send them back tomorrow morning. Their wages will be paid on the counter tomorrow morning."

"Shopkeeper?" Qi Xiaomao was a little stunned.

When he came, he thought Lu Jianguo wanted to take both of his brothers into the store as a friend, so he patted his chest and promised Wang Dazhuang and Cheng Zengzhu that the shopkeeper would definitely keep them.

Because of this, the adults from both families killed the leader and put on a big drink to treat him.

He had even eaten food, but Lu Jianguo turned around and wanted him to send Wang Dazhuang and Cheng Zengzhu back.

How could this be done? Qi Xiaomao scratched her head in a hurry.

Wang Dazhuang and Cheng Zengzhu's faces also turned dark.

"What, what else is there?" Lu Jianguo had already taken a few steps and then turned around and asked when he heard Qi Xiaomao calling him behind his back.

"Uh, uh..." He wanted Lu Jianguo to keep the two of them in the store, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to turn around and said, "What do you want us to bring so much food back to do? Should we unload it now? Maybe we will have to use a car tomorrow?"

"That's right." Lu Jianguo slapped his head, "You will send them home tomorrow. I'll leave this matter, so let's unload the truck first."

Qi Xiaomao didn't mean this, but now she felt as if she was eager to send the two away.

"Discharge the grain in the warehouse first." Lu Jianguo said, then took out the key and walked into the warehouse door in the yard.

I saw Lu Jianguo entering the warehouse.

Wang Dazhuang asked hurriedly: "What should I do if my brother is going to do? The shopkeeper will not keep us and will send us back tomorrow. What should I do?"

Cheng Zengzhu also said: "Yes, brother, this kind of cowhide has been blown away. Everyone in the village knows that we are apprentices in the big restaurant in Jiangzhou City. If we just go back like this, we will not be too scared."

"Don't be anxious first." Qi Xiaomao said no, but he was more anxious than anyone else. "I'll talk to the shopkeeper when I have the chance. You two, work harder when unloading the truck, and take advantage of the shopkeeper's attention to how much force he has."

"Hey, I understand, brother." The two agreed one after another.

By the time Lu Jianguo finished sorting out the warehouse, the two of them had already been waiting in place with a big bag.

"Qi Xiaomao, why are you standing there? You just teach others how to do such a heavy job?"

As he said that, Lu Jianguo himself got a big bag from the carriage.

Qi Xiaomao quickly stepped forward and grabbed it, "Shopkeeper, I'll do it." He winked at Wang Dazhuang while talking.

Wang Dazhuang received the hint and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, we both have the strength. These little things don't need you to interfere with my elder brother, we will finish it in one go."

"Yes, yes." Cheng Zengzhu also said immediately: "We both have strength."

"Haha, okay, I'm really young and strong." Lu Jianguo said with a smile: "Then after entering, get the goods neat."

"I understand, shopkeeper."

Wang Dazhuang and Cheng Zengzhu hurried into the warehouse with a big bag, and then ran out hurriedly, fearing that they would be slow.

Lu Jianguo watched from the side, feeling very happy, "Qi Xiaomao, don't forget to give them more wages tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Wang Dazhuang and Cheng Zengzhu looked at Qi Xiaomao together. They really wanted to stay and be friends, and they didn't want to stay at home for the rest of their lives.

Qi Xiaomao threw down the sack and fell to his knees on the ground.

"Shopkeeper, can you keep them in the store? They are both capable and able to endure hardships!"

Wang Dazhuang and Cheng Zengzhu also knelt down and said, "Please accept us, please."

But Lu Jianguo said lightly: "There is no shortage of manpower in the store."

"Shopkeeper, I..." Qi Xiaomao wanted to speak out but stopped. He knew that he had no reason to ask Lu Jianguo to do this, but he still wanted the two of them to stay, so he didn't know what to say.

"If you really want to plead for them, I can give them a chance, but it's all for your sake."

"Thank you, the shopkeeper." The three of them quickly thanked.

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Lu Jianguo continued to say to Qi Xiaomao: "If you want them to stay in the store as a mate, I won't pay them wages. You have to pay their wages. Are you willing to let them stay now?"

Wang Dazhuang and Cheng Zengzhu looked at Qi Xiaomao together.

Qi Xiaomao said without hesitation: "Ten taels of silver per month, we can share it equally with the three of us." In his opinion, ten taels of silver is enough, and he can't use that much by himself.

Lu Jianguo asked the two of you, "What about you two? If you two think that the ten taels of silver and three people are too small..."

"A lot of them are already enough in the shopkeeper." Wang Dazhuang hurriedly said, as long as Lu Jianguo agreed to let him stay, everything would be easy to say.
