Chapter 111 Borrowing a Knife
The next day,
Xiahe County, Wei Mansion.
Simple and plain, but extraordinary in the study room.
After a day, with the energy of the Wei family, it was natural to find out the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that Fang Wuju's cousin got drunk in Chunlou, spent all his money, and went to Sifang Gambling House to borrow money from usury. After Qi Yishou, the shopkeeper of the gambling house, knew this person's identity, he wanted to scheme against Fang Wuju's industry.
This kind of thing has been done by gambling houses before.
Even if the borrower cannot repay the money, if the borrower's relatives are wealthy, they will lend the money out.
As long as the borrower cannot repay the money in the end, the gambling houses will go out to the relatives' homes to collect the debt.
This person is your relative, and this is your guarantee.
Isn't it just right for you to pay back the money?
This method is not clever, even very crude. But it works very well, because as long as you are shameless and cruel enough, you can make the evidence solid.
Aren’t there cases of unjust, false and wrongful convictions in the yamen?
This kind of matter has naturally been dealt with from top to bottom. Even if the victim complains of injustice, the Yamen will not accept it.
Alternatively, ‘the evidence is all there’ and the Yamen will order the other party to pay compensation.
Anyone who operates similar industries will probably do this.
It’s nothing more than that their plan is just to come to the gambling house and have a relationship with the gambling house to lend money. There is no backing and powerless people.
As long as you keep your eyes open and don't offend those truly powerful people, ordinary country rich people are not just left to be slaughtered.
So, this time Shopkeeper Qi learned Chen Liang’s identity.
I was immediately moved. After all, Fang Yue was disabled and the other left the martial arts gym. Fang Hu and Zhang Boyang, the only two people who had a close relationship with him, would not be able to come back in a short time.
Isn’t this a God-given opportunity?
Now that the disaster has recovered, the value of the property under the name of Fang Yue, a martial arts scholar, has increased dramatically. How can this not make people excited?
The crippled Wuju man's family has only been prosperous for two years and has no foundation yet.
Isn’t this kind of person the best piece of fat?
Wei He said to himself that if it were him, standing in the position of shopkeeper Qi, he would probably be tempted.
"One hand at a time, I think one hand is missing. I dared to take action without asking clearly. I really thought that a martial arts practitioner is easy to handle!"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Wei He's face turned pale immediately.
In fact, shopkeeper Qi had asked him for instructions before.
It’s just that at that time, his thoughts were all on his aunt, and he dismissed her hastily. He only knew that this person had planned to deal with a rich man in the countryside.
He was sent away without asking in detail. Who would have thought that shopkeeper Qi was actually going to deal with Fang Wuju.
"What's even more despicable is that this person dared to act without permission without reporting it. He was arrogant and deserved to end up like this."
After Wei He finished venting, he looked up at Wang Quan and continued: "You just now He said that Shopkeeper Qi and the others were detained in Daliushu Village to farm for the Fang Yue family? "
The Sifang Gambling House run by Shopkeeper Qi is secretly controlled by his Wei family.
Actually, not many people in Xiahe County know about this matter.
After all, the Wei family still has to take care of the appearance of their good family, so how can they be connected with a gambling house that has harmed countless people.
However, shopkeeper Qi is now detained in Daliushu Village.
Others in the gambling house are not sure about their relationship with the Wei family, but shopkeeper Qi knows a lot of things.
If it spreads, it will have a great impact on the reputation of his Wei family.
Thinking of this, Wei He felt a strong murderous intention in his heart, but he quickly restrained himself.
You can’t kill Shopkeeper Qi yet, at least not yet.
Over the years, this person has all the money in the gambling house, and 30% of the profits are also in his hands.
If he was killed like this, it would be difficult to find the money.
"You find someone to report to the official, and say that the remaining bandits from Moshan are going to attack Daliushu Village and bring those 'bandits' back."
Wei He thought for a while, It is not suitable for the Wei family to come forward now. His father is active in Fucheng and planning to find him an official position in the guard. It would not be good if any unfavorable news comes out of the Wei family at this time and affects major events.
This time, I asked someone from the Yamen to take action. These people have received so much filial piety, so they should contribute.
"Yes, young master."
Wang Quan bowed and bowed, then exited the study.
"Damn Fang Yue, you are actually getting better! And the level of martial arts has also improved, and the four levels of martial arts have changed the marrow!"
No one was around, Wei He's face was originally indifferent. and calmness disappeared, replaced by jealousy and resentment.
He and Fang Yue took the martial arts examination in the same year, and he was also the first in the martial arts examination, surpassing Fang Yue in terms of strength and reputation.
Fang Yue's only advantage was that he was young, a few years younger than him.
Later, this man's behavior was really different from ordinary warriors.
Especially this guy made fried tea.
It’s ridiculous that Huang Ziyou really thought that the fried tea was made by the White Tiger Boxing Gym!
I thought I could seize this thing by finding a few tea-making masters.
Who would have thought that Baihu Tea Company would immediately take countermeasures and come up with higher-grade roasted tea with better taste, and its marketing methods were clever. In a short period of time, it occupied all the teahouses and restaurants in Xiahe County, and even... Fried tea was promoted to the yamen.
Especially in the end, the Yamen sent a box of fried tea to them, the military examiners.
In this way, the people in the whole city, and even the business travelers who came to the county from all over the country, also knew about the existence of this kind of fried tea.
The various methods may have come from Fang Yue's hands.
So, if such a person cannot be a friend, then he must be killed.
Not to mention that later, when he was ready to surrender, the other party would not give him face at all and did not take him seriously.
Wei He naturally hated Fang Yue.
But before he had time to deal with Fang Yue, something happened to Fang Yue and he became disabled.
At this time, Wei He naturally gave up his thoughts on dealing with Fang Yue.
After all, let a genius who once had greater potential than him watch him achieve higher achievements.
How accomplished and satisfying this kind of thing should be.
“I’ll let you go this time, and then I’ll deal with you properly after this thing is done.”
Wei He smiled coldly, and then began to give advice to his father write a letter.
~~~~~~
Daliu Shu Village.
The Fang Family Courtyard.
"Brother He, go and persuade my mother. She hasn't eaten much in the past two days. How can she hold on if she continues like this!"
Fang Cheng and Fang Lan came to the village. Outside on the edge of his own field, he said to Fang Yue, who was supervising the work of shopkeeper Qi and others.
At the beginning, Fang Yue, Fang's father, and Fang Cheng, agreed that the details of this matter could not be told to Chen.
Mr. Chen cannot be allowed to know that it was his natal brother and nephew who took the initiative to harm Fang's father and Fang Cheng. Just treat them as if they were forced to do so.
This is because she is afraid that Mrs. Chen will not be able to bear this blow. After all, anyone who is tricked by his brothers and sisters in this way will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Ms. Chen is already over forty years old this year. At this age and in this era, many people are considered to be old, and even those with poor health will not survive this age. However, even if Fang Yue did everything he was supposed to do, Chen was still able to learn the truth of the matter in the end.
Hearing what happened, Mrs. Chen cried for a whole day.
Her brother and nephew cooperated with outsiders to seize her family's property, and even asked her husband and son to take action.
This kind of thing is simply a huge blow, no one can bear it.
"Okay."
Fang Yue spent most of the past two days watching Shopkeeper Qi and others to prevent them from causing any trouble while he was away.
So, I spend less time at home.
However, if there is time, I will definitely come to persuade Chen.
But every time when he was around, Mrs. Chen was fine. When he left, Mrs. Chen became taciturn again, refusing to eat or drink.
Come to the courtyard where my parents live.
Father Fang sat in the yard with a sad face. There was a tray in front of him. There was porridge and three stir-fried vegetables on the tray.
"Dad, how is my mother?" Fang Yue asked.
"It's still the same, that is, she can still eat some when you come." Father Fang sighed.
The Chen family must be strong and kind-hearted. When something like this happened this time, Fang Yue and others did not blame Chen Kang, Chen Liang and his son much.
It’s just that the two families will definitely not interact with each other in the future.
When she married and followed her husband, Mrs. Chen knew which was more important and which was less important. She would definitely not go back to her parents’ home in the future.
Ms. Chen even completely severed ties with her natal family.
But don’t do this.
But only you know the pressure you feel in your heart.
Fang Yue nodded, picked up the food, and entered the house.
There were no windows in the room, and the curtains were drawn, making it very dark.
However, Fang Yue still caught sight of Mrs. Chen who was half leaning on the bed.
"Mom, it's time to eat. Today's meal was made by my father. I just tasted it. It's delicious."
"Xie'er, just put it on the table. I don't want to eat it now." Mrs. Chen responded, but she looked weak and had no intention of eating at all.
"Mom, you have to eat no matter what. This is what you taught me before. Besides, if you don't eat and become hungry and thin, Xiao Tiedan won't be able to recognize you in the future." Fang Yue continued to persuade. road.
Little Tiedan is exactly the nickname of his nephew.
Tiedan finally sounds much better than this pig.
"Hey, your uncle and the others have done such a thing, how can I face you?" Mrs. Chen said, her voice choked up.
What is this kind of thing?
The mother's family plots against their own family, and they will also plot against the family and their families.
If it weren't for the fact that Xie'er was in good health, he would have captured all those people and made them work in the fields day and night.
Then, the other way around.
If Xie'er doesn't get better, how will these people deal with them?
I didn't dare to think about it at all.
"Mom, my uncle and cousin were also confused for a moment, and they were also deceived by others. Mom, please don't hurt yourself because of this trivial matter."
Chen Kanghe What Chen Liang did was certainly abominable and he even deserved to be killed.
But here in the Chen family, Fang Yue still has to be cautious.
"Mom doesn't think about anything now. You have to stop caring about Chen Kang and the others in the future. Just treat it as if we don't have this relative in our family."
Mrs. Chen lamented and continued: "The only thing that I feel is a pity is that I won't be able to see Shi'er get married and have children. Alas"
"Mom, if you eat well now, you will definitely live a long life. Ahem, As for getting married, it depends on fate. If fate comes, it will be a matter of course. Not only will the mother be able to see it, but she will also take care of the children." Fang Yue said.
Marrying a wife and having children, at least he has not yet had this idea in his mind.
After all, how old he is now, not yet twenty-five.
No one over thirty years old in the previous life would get married.
"You are really planning to wait until your mother is a hundred years old before you get married and have children. Oh, you are such an unfilial child."
Xu Shi talked about Fang Yue's marriage and children, and Mrs. Chen's mood improved a little. Some.
Turn around and stared at Fang Yue and said:
"However, if you want to let your mother eat, it's fine. Even if someone introduces you to a girl this time, you must go and see it. You can't do it again. "I've put it off."
"I know, mother, don't worry." Fang Yue had no choice but to agree.
Chen was indeed in a much better mood at this time.
I have an appetite and start eating.
It’s just that Fang Yue, looking at Mr. Chen who had a good appetite at this time, felt a little suspicious in his heart.
Could it be that his mother was just trying to get him to get married, and then she acted as a "bitter flesh trick"?
~~~~~~
After persuading his mother, Fang Yue returned to his small courtyard.
I came to the study, spread out the letter paper, and started writing a letter.
This is a letter to Fatty Bai.
Tell the other party about the current tea garden. Of course, more importantly, the thousand acres of tea garden outside Xiahe County.
Because the tea trees are all old trees, they have completely recovered these days, and new leaves have begun to grow.
Obviously, it will take less than two months for new tea to be produced.
These tea leaves will definitely become the first major product of the business they cooperate with, so they have to discuss a charter with Fatty Bai.
Say some things upfront to save yourself trouble later.
~~~~~~
Shanyang Fucheng, among the government offices.
"Brother Liu, why did you offend Young Master Bai? Now that the other party has spoken out, no one dares to do anything about you." The middle-aged official looked at the banknotes in the other party's hand with some greed, but in the end he restrained himself. Thoughts on my head.
Some money can be taken, and some money is hot, but he still knows the priorities clearly.
Liu Chuanzhi offended the young master of the Bai family, and he offended him severely.
Now in the entire Shanyang Mansion, no one wants or dares to facilitate Liu Chuanzhi.
Of course he won’t do it.
Otherwise, if it reaches Young Master Bai's ears, his future life will not be easy.
"Brother Qiu, please add another five hundred taels? What do you think about this?" Liu Chuanzhi tried his best to show a kind expression and begged in a low voice.
When they came to Shanyang Fucheng, their family had already paid a lot.
Especially the land in the village was sold at a low price, resulting in huge losses.
Now living in Fucheng, spending money every day is like water. If he can't complete his father's affairs, then how can his family survive.
"Haha, what you did was unethical. It's not good to offend anyone, but you offended Young Master Bai. I will also suffer from it. Don't come to me in the future. It's really unlucky to see you."
< br>The middle-aged official waved his hand and drove Liu Chuanzhi away like flies.
