Chapter 172 Teaching by precept and example
When Hu Da finally could see the light, he found himself in an underground secret room again.
There were no windows, no wind, no other sounds, and there was only a dim oil lamp in my eyes, a smell of mold and an iron door that seemed to never open.
Hu Da has been hiding underground for some time recently, so he is very familiar with this environment. In the past, he would have thought it was safe to hide underground, but now he is tied up with his hands and feet and thrown into the cold cellar, but when he clearly feels a sense of depression and suffocation.
If you have been a master for a long time, you will suddenly become a prisoner in a cage. Even if you are replaced by someone else, you will not be able to calm down at this time, right?
Because the underground secret room was dark all day long, Hu Da was kicked and fainted again, so he had no idea what time it was. Anyway, since he was thrown into this secret room, no one has come to ask about it, as if he had forgotten him.
Of course, Zhou Chengye would not really forget Hu Da, the culprit who caused him many troubles. At this time, he had already dealt with all the miscellaneous matters and was sitting leisurely in the study dedicated to the Zhou family's head drinking tremlin seed soup, listening to Zhang Yan and Zhang Xiu's face-to-face report.
Zhang Ying said: "The mission assigned to us by Erlang has been basically completed. The Zhou Mansion staff had zero casualties. Seven Qingchi Gangs were killed and two people were captured, and the remaining Qingchi Gangs were earned 95 people. The situation is now completely under control."
Zhang Xiu continued: "Before and after this operation, twenty taels of gold and one thousand taels of silver were spent. The various gold and silver fines and soft incomes were worth 1,520 knots. Because Hu Da is an extremely important target, he has been detained underground after being arrested. He has not yet taken any measures to inquire about him, and he will be decided by Erlang."
"Well. You did a very good job this time! Not only did you plan in detail, but you also became more and more skilled in your cooperation. It can be said that it completely exceeded my expectations. This action can be evaluated excellently!"
Zhou Chengye's affirmation made the Zhang brothers smile happily.
"Don't rush to interrogate Hu Da. Put this guy in the cellar for a few days. Give him some water and food every day, so don't suffocate him. You can help Wang Cheng completely digest and integrate Qingchi. By the way, you can learn about Hu Da's past experience in detail. When you formally ask him, try to hit the key points and don't let him have a trace of luck! I need to know all the information that Hu Da can explain. The more detailed the better!"
"Erlang, don't you interrogate Hu Da personally?" Zhang Xiu asked in confusion.
"Yes, aren't you gritting your teeth for this guy? If you can deal with him with your own hands, you will definitely relieve your boredom!" Zhang Ying said with a smirk.
"Stay there!" Zhou Te rolled his eyes and explained: "It's true that I hate Hu Da. Don't Hu Da hate me, who is so miserable now? There is a saying that enemies are particularly jealous when they meet. When Hu Da sees me, it will definitely arouse the anger in his heart, and the torture that he couldn't hold on. Maybe he will grit his teeth and survive, so I won't give him the chance to scold me in person."
The Zhang brothers then learned another skill, that is, never give your opponent a chance to hate you.
"This time we are the two of us responsible for the interrogation?"
"You don't have to come forward directly. Just teach the Green Rat some means of torture and confession. It must be easier for Green Rat to ask Hu Da than us. After all, they have been together for several years and are very familiar with each other, so they don't have to waste time around."
"But if Qing Rat and Hu Da still have an old friendship, wouldn't it be very dangerous if they secretly conveyed some information during the conversation, deliberately hiding or providing us with wrong information?" Zhang Xiu asked with some concern.
"Haha, I just said you should not come forward directly, and I didn't say you wouldn't participate in the inquiry. Since the Green Rat has been enabled, I just took this opportunity to test him. If you can't hear from the conversation between them, you can only blame you for not learning the skills!"
The two brothers then understood what Zhou Tuesday said, thinking about how to teach the Green Rat both ways to inquire, but not teach the Green Rat all, so as not to teach the disciples and starve the master to death.
Zhou Chengye finally asked: "What's the movement between Huangcheng's two heroes?"
"Feng Yun's injuries have basically improved. He came over to meet Feng Quan a few days ago. At that time, we put Feng Quan out of the cellar and set up a banquet for them in a wing room. He Fusheng and Ma Qing were accompanied by him, while Sun Ze and Xu Feng led people to set up an ambush outside the room to prevent them from leaving."
"After the two brothers hugged their heads and cried, they said a lot, and finally agreed to take their little family from Huangchengshan to Chang'an according to Erlang. Feng Quan went to Kaifeng to rescue the master's family in Kaifeng instead of Feng Yun. At present, Feng Quan has left Chang'an, and Feng Yun has moved into the underground secret room with the best conditions. His mood is very stable. He drags the guards in the mansion to play cards with him all day long, and it seems that he is enjoying it."
"Well, that's good. After Feng Quan sent their little one to Chang'an, remember to arrange for people to find a suitable courtyard to place them, and send people to deliver enough food, rice, oil and salt every month, so that they can obviously feel that they are under house arrest in Chang'an."
"You brothers and brothers should remember that it is true that it is true that people and things should be strategic, but don't really understand human nature, don't talk about human nature, and lose humanity. Since the Feng brothers have fulfilled their promises, we cannot break our trust. Although we are using them, we should try our best to retain self-esteem and hope for the other party when conditions allow, which is definitely more effective than the constant coercion and intimidation."
The Zhang brothers then remembered Zhou Chengye's words in their hearts. The reason why they were able to grow up quickly was that they gained many rare life experiences and insights in this seemingly plain dialogue.
Because Yanzuoli was about to open, Zhou Chengye stayed in the mansion for not long before leaving.
Now Cui Yimin has heard some bad news and is running around to save the black hat on his head; He Yuxiang and others in Yunmengju were completely confused by the sudden outbreak of Si Jiyuan, and were planning to rely on Si Jiyuan to resist the westward advance of Cheng'en Tower; Hyena Luo Xishi was shocked by Zhou Chengye's strong warning and temporarily hid his whereabouts. He did not want to inexplicably become one of the missing persons registered in the Chang'an Prefecture.
When Zhou Chengye rushed to the Chengen Building branch that was about to open in Yanzuoli, he happened to see the old shopkeeper Cui from Boyixuan and his apprentices working day and night to complete the golden signboard of "Yanzuo Chengen Building". Chen Guiyun and a group of shopkeepers were watching around the signboard, and people often praised him.
"This sign looks so majestic!"
"That's more, this is the name of the store written by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Looking at Chang'an City, which restaurant can win this honor!"
"Just put this golden signboard in a prominent position outside the building, I'm afraid the old shopkeeper can wait for the money to collect!"
"Hehe, if I were the shopkeeper, I would put a big bucket directly at the door of the store. If you want to enter our store, you can fill the big bucket with gold and silver first!"
"Ha...ha, if you say so, wouldn't the old shopkeeper become a stingy person who only recognizes money but not people?"
Just as everyone was having fun, Zhou Chengye walked into the store.
"Shopkeeper Cui's craftsmanship is indeed extraordinary. This sign can only be achieved by Boyixuan!" Zhou Chengye stood outside and praised Shopkeeper Cui's craftsmanship with everyone.
"Erlang is here!" Everyone heard Zhou Chengye's voice and made a clear way and turned their attention to Zhou Tuesday. It seemed that he was more attractive than this golden sign.
Speaking of which, in Cheng'en Building store, Tuesday's influence is really greater than the golden signs given by the emperor. Not to mention that the two signs given by the imperial pen were obtained because of him, only most of the children in the building were bought back from the human teeth with money, and the remaining adults who helped were all guards of the Zhou Mansion.
Although the emperor's imperial pen is beautiful, it is not as good as Tuesday's smile in the eyes of children and guards. As long as you smile happily on Tuesday, everyone will feel comfortable and have the energy to do anything. If you have a dark face on Tuesday one day, everyone will be uneasy, worried that it will make the owner angry because they have not done it well.
In everyone's eyes, Tuesday is their heaven and earth. As for His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how many layers there are.
"My husband, are everything ready?" asked Tuesday.
"Well, you're all ready. Just wait for all the VIPs to arrive in three days before you can open the door!"
"Okay! We must give Chang'an a surprise then!"
"Haha, as long as Erlang says that, it must be a big surprise!"
So what exactly is the so-called surprise mentioned in Tuesday? But he spent a lot of effort to specially invite two super awesome people from other places to come to Chang'an from other places to shine for generations!
On Tuesday, he was busy with the opening of Yanzuoli, but the Zhang brothers had quietly pulled the green rat back to the Zhou mansion.
Qing Rat, the new deputy leader of Qingchi Gang, was about to throw his arms around and do something big, but Wang Cheng ordered him to return to Yongping. The affliction in his stomach was imagined. However, when he saw Zhang Yan and Zhang Xiu looking at him with a smirk, he couldn't say a complaint.
Qingshi knew how terrible the two little demons smiling at him in front of him were.
"I wonder what's important to call me back when the two guys called me back?" Qingshi asked nervously.
Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiu were secretly happy, so they said, "Well, as Erlang ordered, I invited you back this time, but there is an extremely important thing left to you to do! As long as you do this, brothers, please make sure you are so delicious and delicious!"
