Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Evil Slave
Wang Zhuangtou followed behind Shopkeeper Li, and the two of them slowly walked out of Rongguo Mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two of them, one fat and one thin, although they were both dressed in coarse linen clothes, they did not give people the feeling that they were afraid to pass by the high-ranking families like the poor.
It gives people the feeling that they often go in and out of the rich and noble homes.
Wang Zhuangtou was a little uneasy at this time. He lowered his head and looked around. Only then did he say with a little uneasiness.
"Brother Li, looking at the appearance of the eldest lady Fang Cai, you said that she couldn't have seen something from the book, right?"
After listening to Wang Zhuangtou's words, your shopkeeper's chubby body stood in the snow, and he was not in a hurry to leave!
"Brother Wang, I don't know what you're worried about. We've been like this for so many years. Even in the early years, the lady didn't notice anything wrong. She was taught by a lady, a little girl. You have to have that ability to do it!"
Listening to Shopkeeper Li's words, Wang Zhuang's heart relaxed a little. There is still a little unease in my heart.
"What if she finds out? What should we do? You know, in the early years, when we did this, we just relied on the Zhou family to make a mistake, and we were not in Beijing!"
"Now the Zhou family has entered Beijing and lives in Rongguo Mansion. You must know that this Rongguo Mansion is not easy to mess with. Well, and our deed is still in her possession. ”
When Shopkeeper Li heard the words "body deed", his originally somewhat proud face suddenly stiffened. I forgot that my family still signed a slave contract.
After so many years of not being around, he is also used to living a free life, calling slaves and calling maids, and he has taken "Ruyi Fang" as his own industry to operate, and "Ruyi Fang" is now a little famous in the capital.
The energy I have paid in it is not even comparable to the master's family! In addition to the necessary dots, I don't want anyone to come again and intervene in the income of the "Ruyi Fang."
Shopkeeper Li, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. But an evil thought came out of my heart. The tone in his mouth couldn't help but soften, with a little temptation.
"The news we found out before is that the two sisters and brothers are just two children. We tricked them into Zhuangzi. ”
Shopkeeper Li said and gestured with his hand on his neck.
"When the time comes, halfway through, there will also be a car overturning or something. God doesn't know it, even Rongguofu can't hold us accountable. ”
"We have made a lot of money over the years, just buy a deed, as long as no one pursues it, it is also feasible!"
Wang Zhuangtou was frightened by Shopkeeper Li's words, and sat on the snow, even his voice trembled.
"This ...... This...... This is...... Absolutely unacceptable......"
Shopkeeper Li felt more and more feasible about the plan he thought, and the whole person even fell into a state of madness. Hearing Wang Zhuangtou's objections, he was angry in his heart.
Approaching Wang Zhuangtou, who was sitting on the ground, he asked in a tone that almost gritted his teeth.
"The two of us are now two grasshoppers tied to a rope, why can't you tell me?"
Seeing that Shopkeeper Li was almost red-eyed, Wang Zhuang's head and body shrank back, and he said intermittently.
"The two of them are now living in Rongguo Mansion, that is...... It's ......"
Shopkeeper Li stared at Wang Zhuangtou tightly, "What's it?"
"Even if they are gone, Rongguofu will also take back the Zhuangzi and the shop, and we will not get any benefits. Wang Zhuangtou was frightened by Shopkeeper Li, and when you said it, others sat on the ground panting.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he burst out laughing.
"Wang Changgui, Wang Changgui, in the past ten or twenty years, the money you have been ignorant of is enough to buy two such big Zhuangzi. This Zhuangzi is to let Rongguo Mansion take it, and it can be exchanged for the life and freedom of the family, which is also very cost-effective, why can't you understand it?"
Looking at Xiuwen kneeling on the ground, Zhou Muqing felt that there might be something wrong with his ears.
"Tell me more about what you're going to find out. ”
Xiu Wen took a look at the people in the room, Zhou Muqing and Zhou Mufeng sisters and brothers were sitting on chairs, and Ziyuan and Zhou Mama were waiting in the room, and Bai Su was waiting. In the end, he spoke.
"Girl, let the slave go to check on Shopkeeper Li and Wang Zhuangtou, the slave has been running outside every day for the past few days, but he has inquired about a lot of things!"
"The Ruyi Fang managed by the shopkeeper Li, the servants have been guarding the door for two days, but the business is very good, but it is impossible to say that it is a loss. ”
"And the shopkeeper Li also bought a three-entry house on Kangning Street, and the family also called slaves and maids, and asked the people below, and his family property was estimated to be more than 100,000 taels. ”
"That Wang Zhuangtou is also similar. Although he did not buy a house in Beijing, his family lived in the house on the Zhuangzi of his wife. ”
"I pretended to be a passer-by from a foreign country, and went to the village over there to inquire about the situation, and the rent set by the head of the Wang Zhuangtou for the tenants was very high. I heard that in the past, the wife set a rent of three points, but Wang Zhuangtou gave the tenants five points. ”
"In the past ten years, I have never heard of any disasters, but the tenants have lived a very hard life, and many families in the Zhuangzi have borrowed usury. ”
Speaking of this, Xiuwen was a little hesitant, and he didn't know whether to say or not to say the rest of the words.
Zhou Muqing looked at Xiuwen's slurring appearance, and knew that he must have something to say.
"If there is anything else, you can tell me cheaply, I plan to go to Zhuangzi in a few days to have a look, and I will know when the time comes!"
When Xiuwen heard Zhou Muqing say this, he turned his heart on his head and completely said what he had heard.
"There are a few families in Zhuangzi who have borrowed usury. Even if the family sells their sons and daughters, they can't afford it. There is even a family that has been ruined. ”
"The slave inquired, but the usury was the second grandmother of Rongguo Mansion......"
A room full of people were stunned there, just like this, Rongguo Mansion was like this, a scene of wealth and prosperity. There are still loan sharks outside?
Doesn't Grandma Lian know that this usury not only hurts yin and morality, but also the laws of this dynasty are expressly forbidden. Once the usury was discovered, the light one was dismissed, and the heavy one was exiled for 3,000 miles......
When Zhou Muqing heard this, he realized that he had forgotten something again.
In the end of Dream of Red Mansions, his current cheap cousin was indeed betrayed and exiled, in addition to the crime of stopping his wife and remarrying, it seems that Wang Xifeng's usury was also counted on his head.
It seems that it is necessary for me to sort out my memory of the Dream of Red Mansions. Looking at the surprised looks of the other people in the room, it seems that the laws of this dynasty should also be carefully taken a closer look?
