Sigua's wife put the tea bowl on the table in front of Xu Ning.
Xu Ning was also polite, and took two mouthfuls.
"Old Feng, you have suffered this beating, and you have been implicated by me."
Xu Ning knew very well that when Pan Du came looking for him, it was with emotion.
Seeing Feng Sigua obstructing him, he did it on purpose.
"My lord, you are too serious."
When Feng Sigua heard about it, he quickly said: "I was only doing what I was supposed to do at the time, how can I be implicated by you, it's just that the Pandu guards were cruel and cruel, that's why I received this beating."
From Feng Sigua's mouth, Xu Ning didn't hear a trace of resentment.
Feng Sigua might also feel that the beating had something to do with him, but he didn't blame himself for the beating, he just regarded it as Pan Du's atrocity.
"And, my lord, you also vented your anger on my behalf."
Speaking of this, Feng Sigua is still warm-hearted: "You beat Pan Du worse than me. At that time, I didn't have any complaints, and my heart was very happy."
Feng Sigua has often recalled that scene recently.
Master Xu Ning went to beat up another black-armored guard for his own sake. As a humble self, he had never had such an experience in Weiyi.
Although he is a small person, Feng Sigua also has dignity, but when facing the reality, he needs to restrain it properly.
But when someone really stood up and defended his dignity, Feng Sigua also felt respected in personality.
Xu Ning also smiled slightly when he heard Feng Sigua say this.
"Afterwards, we went back to Wei Yi, and we should hide when we see Pan Du."
Xu Ning said: "This person can shoot you without any scruples, obviously he has no bottom line, and it is impossible for me to protect you all the time."
"But Lao Feng, don't worry, if Pan Du dares to touch you, I won't stand by and watch."
Xu Ning's words were very confident.
Now I have clearly separated from the other black armored guards in Fengliu Lane Weiyi. When my own interests are damaged, it is normal to use some strong opposition methods.
As long as he didn't take the initiative to pick things up and destroy the greater principle, and with Qu Dayou as his backing, Chen Ren and the others wouldn't dare to touch them at will.
"Thank you, my lord."
At this time, Feng Sigua had turned to Xu Ning wholeheartedly.
This was not simply because Xu Ning had given him respect. In addition, Feng Sigua, an old fritter, also saw the potential in Xu Ning.
Before the Chinese New Year, Xu Ning was only seventeen years old.
At that time, he could easily beat Pan Du down.
Now that the third camp has just been established, and the position of captain is vacant, Xu Ning has every chance to take the position when he fills in later. At that time, his identity and status will also change accordingly.
Feng Sigua felt that this process would take at most five years.
Xu Ning sat by the oven, talking with Feng Sigua, feeling the warmth of the flame.
Although Xu Ning has been promoted to the Inner Prosperity Realm, even if he wears single clothes in winter, he can still resist the cold, but the instinct of the human body is still willing to let him get close and warm in the cold weather.
After sitting for only a quarter of an hour, Xu Ning didn't plan to stay any longer.
If I stay here for a long time, Feng Sigua and his wife will feel uncomfortable.
Xu Ning got up, and before going out, he took out a one hundred taels of silver note from his shirt and stuffed it into Feng Sigua's hand.
Feng Sigua looked at the bank note in his hand in surprise. The amount of one hundred taels made his heart beat faster, which was almost equal to his monthly salary for a year.
Sigua's wife next to her saw her eyes gleaming even more.
"My lord, you are..."
Feng Sigua was still a little confused.
"Keep it."
Xu Ning patted Feng Sigua on the shoulder.
Feng Sigua was stunned, and quickly declined: "My lord, it's not necessary, it is not necessary."
With that said, Feng Sigua put the banknote back into Xu Ning's hand.
He knew that Xu Ning's monthly salary was only fifty taels, and even with subsidies, his income was only over two hundred taels. Although it was a lot of money for him, for a newcomer like Xu Ning who was under the pressure of assessment, These resources may not be enough to buy medicinal herbs.
Although Feng Sigua wanted to follow Xu Ning, he could earn more when his status improved in the future.
However, in my estimation, that is three to five years later, and it is too early now.
"I understand what you mean."
Xu Ning said: "But you followed me and did things carefully and thoughtfully, which saved me a lot of trouble. I also want to thank you. Moreover, after I gain a foothold in Weiyi in the future, there will definitely be more things to deal with. At that time, if you handle chores for me, it will cost you money."
"Take it."
Xu Ning put the banknote back into Feng Sigua's hands.
"Then... then thank you, sir."
Feng Sigua felt that being able to serve as a guard on the day Xu Ning entered the guard post was the greatest opportunity in his life.
Feng Sigua and his wife sent Xu Ning out of the residential area before returning home together.
At this time, one hundred taels were placed on the table, and Feng Sigua and his wife stared at it.
Although Feng Sigua also has ten taels of silver in his account a month, the price of goods in the county is too high, and there is not much money that can be saved after excluding living expenses and children's learning martial arts.
One hundred taels was a lot of money for them.
"Why, don't you say that I didn't get any benefit from Mr. Xu and was beaten?"
There was sarcasm and ridicule in Feng Sigua's tone.
After hearing this, Sigua's wife didn't complain: "Don't dare to say it, don't dare to say it anymore."
Seeing this, Feng Sigua felt relieved, and he immediately collected the one hundred taels of silver notes.
"you… "
Seeing this, Sigua's wife was a little anxious, and she wanted to save the money under the box.
"What are you, do you want to collect this money?"
Feng Sigua looked disgusted: "Use your brains, what did Master Xu say just now? He said that he would let me do more errands in the future! We can keep the money, but use this money to make Master Xu's affairs beautiful. It's a smarter choice!"
Sigua's wife also reflected: "You are right, you are right..."
…
In a festive and warm atmosphere, the New Year has passed.
The Black Armor Guards have six days of vacation, but they are on duty during the period.
But Fengliu Lane Weiyi is used to idleness, so there is no such regulation.
Afterwards, on the first day after the holiday, Xu Ning went to Weiyi.
What surprised him was that none of the black-armored guards in Weiyi came, and Chen Ren didn't show up either.
The flowers and plants in the yard are a little wilted because they haven't been cared for by him for a long time.
Xu Ning didn't care about this either, he can just do his own job right now.
Apart from patrolling the city guards every day, dealing with the disputes in Fengliu Lane, and completing the miscellaneous tasks assigned by the above, Xu Ning has nothing else to do for the time being.
During this period, the people of Dayuan Commercial Bank no longer had contact with him.
Xu Ning lived like this day after day, finally, after Xu Ning was clean for five or six days, Chen Ren came back.
When Xu Ning saw Chen Ren, he was still superficially courteous, and Chen Ren also returned to his previous appearance. The conflict between the two seemed to be over like this.
But Xu Ning knew very well that this was all temporary.
According to what Qu Dayou said, they will soon take action against Dayuan Commercial Bank and plan to reduce the power of Dayuan Commercial Bank and Cai Qinghan.
It is definitely impossible for the opponent to be captured without a fight. At that time, there will definitely be another turmoil in the Black Armored Guards.
The apparent peace now is actually more like the calm before the storm.
It was another evening, and it was time to pay off.
Xu Ning left the study and said goodbye to Feng Sigua.
Feng Sigua came back on duty two days ago, which made Xu Ning a lot easier.
Xu Ning left Feng Sigua to handle some official documents and more complicated affairs.
Feng Sigua dealt with it, and then submitted it to Xu Ning.
During these days, Xu Ning also discovered a change in Weiyi.
When he and Chen Ren were on the same occasion, the city guards on duty in Weiyi would deliberately keep a distance from him.
But in private, these city guards seemed to be more enthusiastic about themselves.
Xu Ning also knew the reason.
The previous dispute between himself and Chen Ren has spread in Weiyi.
There is Qu Dayou behind him, but these city guards have no background.
Except for Feng Sigua who was already bound to him, the rest of them didn't want to be hated by Chen Yan because they were too close to him.
After all, Chen Ren is still the school lieutenant of Weiyi in Fengliu Lane, the most powerful person here.
But because he was willing to stand up for his subordinates who were also city guards, everyone felt that Xu Ning was upright and trustworthy, so they all wanted to get acquainted in front of Xu Ning.
After leaving Weiyi, Xu Ning didn't go back to the camp directly, but went to a roadside stall to eat wontons.
Kangyun County is the business center of several nearby counties. There are many people coming and going. Even at night, the flow of people is very large, so many individual peddler businesses have developed.
Years ago, Xu Ning happened to eat a bowl of wontons here. He felt that the wontons made by the stall owner were similar in taste to those made by Xu Lian, so he came here often.
Xu Ning arrived at the booth.
The stall owner is a young couple. They make wontons together before the meal time. When the meal time comes, the wife is responsible for cooking the wontons, while the husband is responsible for carrying the bowls and cleaning the table. They cooperate very skillfully.
