62 plotting to seize the property

Guang Sen looked at the stone wall in astonishment and asked, "Can we still go in?"

Yuan Rong shook his head and said, "If you go in again, it's already an afterlife." ”

Guangsen said regretfully: "Your Buddha statue still has one eye that has not been carved, although mine is carved, but the wrist is broken, is there any indication of this?"

Yuan Rong sat down on the ground and said, "Although I have the magic of the world, it is unpredictable. In the future reincarnation, there will be a lifetime in which you and I will change from normal people to disabled people. Your wrist will be broken, and I will lose a left eye. ”

This matter was no longer conceivable, and the two had to return to Leiming Temple and concentrate on taking care of the temple affairs.

At this time, Harmony has long been famous. Dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen, and ministers of the dynasty have come to ask for good fortune. In addition, Guanyin is very effective, and he asks for thousands of answers, and asks for all kinds of spirits. For a time, people came and went, incense was flourishing, the merit box was full every day, and the excess money flowed to the ground. This magnificent scene was seen by a wandering monk. It was itchy for a while, so he scratched his ears and cheeks and made up his mind.

The wandering monk's name is Zhao Xin, a native of Heilongjiang, and his ancestors were all roast chickens.

In his father's generation, relying on ancestral secret recipes and century-old soup, the aroma of roast chicken is in short supply. actually earned a fortune of tens of thousands.

As his father grew old, in order not to lose his skills, he recruited his four sons and passed on the secret recipe by hand.

In the end, Lao Zhao pointed to the pot of hundred-year-old soup and instructed: "In fact, the real secret of our Zhao family's roast chicken is this pot of old soup that has been passed down for several lifetimes." Whether it is natural or man-made disasters or war chaos. When the ancestors of the Zhao family fled for their lives, they could leave everything behind, but they would definitely bring this pot of braised soup. Because as long as this pot of soup is still there, it will definitely be able to make a comeback. You've all memorized it for me, and you have to keep this pot of soup at all times. ”

Lao Zhao couldn't afford to be sick, and the sons originally wanted to wait for their father to pass away, so they would fairly divide the family and live another life. Zhao Xin, the youngest but most scheming, had a different mind.

When Lao Zhao's business was at its most prosperous, his brothers just followed his father to work hard, but Zhao Xin secretly calculated: "My own business is good because there are no competitors." As far as the roast chicken industry is concerned, this place relies on ancestral recipes and old soups. There will be no opponents in the short term, but after the death of the father, it is not necessarily, and the four sons will definitely have four identical roast chicken shops. Roast chicken made from the same old soup must be of the same quality, and there is only price competition to sell it. It is simply impossible to make money as easily as your ancestors. The only way is to let the three brothers quit and continue to dominate the business themselves. He hung his head and thought about it for a long time, and finally had an idea.

He first found his eldest brother and secretly said, "Boss, Daddy is dying, the next step is to divide the property." It stands to reason that the eldest son, like the father, should have half of the inheritance, that is. All the family property is divided into two, you inherit one alone, and the other share can only be divided equally between the three of us. That pot of ancestral old soup is only inherited by the eldest son. The greedy boss who was teased by the words suddenly became greedy.

Lao Zhao was dying, he was speechless for a long time, and his four sons were discussing the future around the sickbed.

As he spoke, he turned the conversation to the distribution of the inheritance.

The eldest said arrogantly: "The eldest son is like a father, according to the rules, the eldest son needs to be chosen first when distributing the inheritance." You can only inherit the rest of the items I picked. ”

The second child jumped up and shouted: "Fart, they are all the same mother's compatriots, why do you choose first?"

The third gang said, "That's it, why?"

Zhao Xin shook his head contrivedly and said, "Don't fight, before Daddy has lost his breath, you will start fighting in the nest, this property and the ancestral old soup will really be given to you." It won't be long before the light is corrupted. ”

The second child blushed and scolded: "What are you? The person sitting here, the one with his feet up, is taller than your head." Where's your turn to speak?"

Zhao Xin wept and said, "I don't mean anything else, I just don't want the brothers to hurt the peace." Haven't you heard of it? Brothers are united in their own interests. My father is about to ascend to heaven, but my mother is still there, are you fooling around like this, aren't you afraid that the old mother will be sad?"

The third child scolded loudly: "Riding a watermelon across the river, what kind of big egg are you? If you have the ability, you will give up your inheritance? Let the three of us divide it." ”

Zhao Xin said angrily: "Give up, give up, the ancestor is penniless, didn't he still create this huge family business?" As long as you promise not to fight for family property and not hurt your feelings, I will give up my inheritance." ”

The crowd was noisy again,

Mother Zhao couldn't help it, stood up and shouted: "Shut up, your father's bones are not cold, and you are making such an ugly appearance." ”

At this point, she took out a will and said, "Your father has already handed over to me the power to distribute the inheritance. After finishing your father's funeral, I will naturally find a son who is generous and loyal and filial to entrust me with important responsibilities. ”

After finishing Lao Zhao's funeral, Zhao's mother found a respected person in the clan to supervise the distribution of the inheritance. The family property and ancestral house are divided into four, and each person has a fair share. Only the pot of old soup that can make money every day, according to Zhao's mother's meaning, was directly distributed to the youngest Zhao Xin.

The eldest and second and third were really anxious now, and they rolled up their sleeves and folded their arms and shouted to express their dissatisfaction.

The patriarch was furious, and under the pretext of unfilial piety, he drank the clansmen and beat the three of them violently, and the matter was calmed down.

After the three of them went back to recuperate from their injuries, they got together to sum up the matter, and as soon as the cause and effect were thoroughly explained, everyone understood what Zhao Xin was doing. The three of them were furious and went to their mother to complain about their grievances.

Zhao's mother was skeptical after hearing this, but the boss was not usually greedy for money. It's just that his performance that day disappointed him too much, the fourth Zhao Xin usually likes to be smart, but the kind of open-mindedness that takes care of the overall situation at a critical moment really impresses him. Therefore, after thinking about it, she decided to hand over the ancestral old soup to Zhao Xin. Only in this way can the old Zhao family's stunts continue.

After listening to the three sons' stories today, Zhao's mother realized that all the turmoil was instigated by Zhao Xin. His heart was full of remorse and anger.

He said to his sons: "Everyone come with me now, and let's confront the fourth child together." If it is really him who stirs up trouble and then pretends to be a gentleman to deceive me, I will naturally give you an explanation.

The four of them came to Zhao Xin's workshop to make roast chicken, and the merchants outside the door lined up to buy roast chicken, and the guys inside were busy. Zhao Xin was lying on a rocking chair with a delicate tea table next to him, shaking with his eyes closed and humming a little song comfortably.

Zhao's mother pushed Zhao Xin and said, "The fourth child is up, I have something to ask you." ”

Zhao Xin opened his eyes and was startled. He quickly stood up and bent down and said, "Mom, are you here?" ”

Mother Zhao said with a calm face: "Don't sit down, I'll ask you a word, when your father was seriously ill, was it your eldest brother who you instigated to let him fight for the family property?"

Zhao Xin looked at everyone and laughed: "Haven't all the family property been divided?

Zhao's mother said uneasily: "I want to verify, am I blind to the wrong person?"

Zhao Xin stretched out his arms and turned around comfortably, and said with a smile: "Yes, I persuaded my eldest brother to fight for the family property." The eldest brother is soft-hearted and insatiable, I just gossip, and he was greedy. This kind of fool, if he really inherits the ancestral old soup, he will fall if he can't keep it for even one generation. In order not to destroy the signboard of the old Zhao family in the hands of the eldest brother, I stepped forward and turned the tide. Use clever tricks to bomb him into battle and become a target. Then I replaced him in one fell swoop and became the only successor of the Zhao family brand. ”

Zhao Xinzheng said happily, and the old atmosphere slapped him with a leaky air.

Zhao Xin was caught off guard and fell to the ground after being beaten.

At this time, Zhao Xin was wealthy, how could he endure such an insult? He felt a brick from the ground and smashed it against the boss. It's also a matter of course, the brick is impartial, and it is smashing on the back of the boss's head. The boss stared at the dead fish's eyes, fell straight to the ground, and couldn't get up.

When Zhao Xin and the boss were fighting, the second and third were summing up, and the two of us couldn't get cheap anyway. It's better to ruin this pot of soup, and no one wants to monopolize it.

It just so happened that there was a stone at the entrance of the workshop. The two looked at each other and had the same heart. Lift the stone, break into the workshop, and smash the stone directly at the soup pot.

It's a pity that this priceless soup is boiled every day with big ingredients and has been passed down for 500 years. It was ruined.

The two rushed out of the workshop and saw Zhao Xin smashing over the boss with a brick. Mother Zhao was crying with her arms in her arms.

The two brothers were so energetic that they rushed forward to grab Zhao Xin and shouted at their neighbors: "Come on, Zhao Xin has killed someone." Hurry up and report the case to the county office. ”

When Zhang Qing, the county magistrate, heard that someone was in a lawsuit, he immediately came to his senses.

He recently accepted a new concubine, who is not only outstanding, but also proficient in poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I only like what Zhang Qing likes, and I don't know how to be good.

But this is a bottomless pit, and it didn't take long for my savings to be spent, and a lot of famine was spent. When the money was not available, the concubine changed her face, and her cold words smashed over like hailstones, making Zhang Qingchou sleepless. Helplessly, he has limited money and no business to get money, so he has to look forward to who will fight a lawsuit, so as to take the opportunity to blackmail a sum.

There was a commotion outside, and Feng Bantou led the officials and dragged Zhao Xin into the county office.

Then hand over the on-site report to Zhang Qing,

Zhang Qing carefully read the report and asked happily: "Isn't the victim dead?"

The man who came to the scene replied: "No, it's just that the right hand and foot can't move, and I have completely lost the ability to take care of myself." ”

Zhang Qing secretly calculated that as long as it was not a life lawsuit, Lao Tzu would be able to get more money.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qing patted the stunned wood and asked: "Zhao Xin, your four brothers are originally compatriots of the same mother, why don't you think of family affection and be ruthless? ”

Zhao Xin lay on the ground, struggled to move forward and cried: "Lord Qingtian, I was wronged." ”

Then he told the story as it was.

Finally, he quietly stretched out four fingers and shook them at Zhang Qing before saying: "The family property has already been divided, and they regretted it afterwards and broke into the house to cause trouble, so that today's catastrophe happened." ”

Zhang Qing closed his eyes and pondered the meaning of Zhao Xin's four fingers.

After a long time, he said vaguely: "What you said is also reasonable, since the family property has been divided, how can you regret it at will?"

"They are also guilty of breaking into people's houses and smashing down the heirloom soup. But you plan to seize the family property first, and smash your eldest brother with a brick to the point of cripple in the back. How can such a viciousness be forgiven?"

"Someone is coming, except for the boss of the Zhao family, who is seriously injured and can go home for treatment. The rest of the Zhao family members were all imprisoned. Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for a slow lawsuit. ”
