Chapter 35: The bully is beaten
After saying that after Liu Yan left under the excuse, Li Shen looked a little unhappy in the restaurant, sat at the table, picked up the unfinished tea and drank it all, and became more and more depressed.
Seeing that the servant who was standing on the side saw his master like this, he immediately bowed his waist slightly and stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, do you want a villain?" The servant made a gesture of wiping his neck and signaled to Li Shen to kill Na Liu Yan.
Li Shen turned his head slightly, and glanced at the servant with sharp eyes, and the servant knew in his heart that he was talking too much, so he immediately retreated and stopped talking.
Li Shen pinched the teacup in his hand and said angrily: "The wind and rain are fluttering, how can it be so easy to be alone? Hmph, since your Liu family is a family, how can you not choose a boat?"
This Li Shen was born in this Jiangdu and grew up in this Jiangdu since his father Li Shou was crowned as the queen. Because of his noble status, he naturally has been able to come into contact with the dignitaries and famous families in the Jiangnan area since he was a child.
Although Li Shen's father and son have been in the Jiangdu business for nearly 20 years, they secretly operate their own business and have their own forces. However, this Jiangnan is really special, the family clan is huge and complicated, this kind of problem has not been solved as early as the previous dynasty, after all, the strong dragon is also difficult to entangle the ground snake, although it is under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, but this is still far from being able to shake his royal family.
Therefore, Li Shou was enshrined at this time, and his actions were the same as those of the vassal kings who had always been enshrined here, and they were all trying their best to win over and intertwine with the clans of Jiangdu, and at the same time, the power of Jiangdu became more and more complicated.
Although on the surface of this royal and family is the relationship between the monarch and the minister, but the family here is still proud of its nobility, folk nursery rhymes and proverbs have "the daughter of the family marries the royal family for the next marriage, and the royal woman marries the family for the high climb". However, this is the subconscious in the dark after all, as long as the family and the royal family do not stab each other, the two will maintain each other.
This Li Shen has known these since he was a child, he is also ambitious, although he has no military power, but he is not willing to be just a vassal king, so he is in harmony with the family on weekdays, trying his best to win over, looking forward to the support of the major families, and he also has some power and bargaining chips to speak politically.
However, I didn't expect that this time to win over the Liu family, Li Shen secretly signaled to win over, but this Liu Yan repeatedly pretended to be confused, avoided talking about it, and wanted to shirk and seek perfection.
On the surface, the intention of the Liu family is very obvious, that is, they don't want to wade into this troubled water, but since the Liu family is a family, how easy is it to be alone?
Li Shen will not attack the Liu family for a while, this is to probe the other party first, after all, the person who is really in charge of the Liu family has not yet said it in person. So when the servant who followed Li Shen said that he wanted to kill Liu Yan, he was reprimanded by Li Shen and refused.
Besides, Liu Yan excused himself to come out of Manxianglou, and he already knew in his heart that although he deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, he pretended not to know what he meant. But this Li Shen is not a fool, as the saying goes, he can hide from the first day of junior high school, but he can't hide from the fifteenth, family affairs, not to be underestimated, this matter must have a result after all, so Liu Yan thought about going back to the house first, and then discussing with his old father, so as to make a decision.
Along the way, Liu Yan was preoccupied, and he didn't have time to dodge, so he collided with a person. After a moment, this Liu Yanjing's heart returned to justice, his eyes tightened slightly, he was a martial arts master after all, so he was distracted, and he was careless for a while, which attracted the thief's concern.
A young man in a white cloth shirt was holding a bag full of money, and he was happy.
This young man is Jiang Tong, he and Liu Feng have been looking for a day, but they haven't found a job, and now they are already tired, seeing that the day is about to pass again, and they are watched tightly by Liu Feng. If he went to steal again, this Liu Feng would turn his face and tell the children that this Jiang Tong didn't want them to know this, so he never left Liu Feng's side.
No, just now Liu Yan hurriedly walked out of the restaurant, Jiang Tong saw a gorgeous figure in the distance, and he didn't see who it was, but he just looked at the dress from a distance, and knew that he was a nobleman, and he must have some money on him, so he had a bad heart. told Liu Feng that he wanted to solve his internal urgency, and when he left, he would repeat his old tricks and pick up again.
Just when Jiang Tong was secretly rejoicing that his hand was successful, suddenly a person behind him slapped his hand on his shoulder, Jiang Tong was happy at this time, and slapped it away and said, "Don't make trouble, I'm not free." ”
As soon as the words were spoken, the person behind him turned him around forcefully, Jiang Tong was shocked, and when he was at a loss, he saw that the person who came was Brother Hai, and he was already trembling with fear. My heart was suddenly full of doubts and helplessness, and I secretly scolded in my heart: Damn, it's like this every time, and I met him as soon as I succeeded.
Brother Hai smiled and said, "Little boy, what's the matter, so happy, and you don't share it with Brother Hai?"
Jiang Tong knew that he had nowhere to escape, and seeing that the money he had just received was about to be handed over to others, or the person he didn't want to see the most, he felt uncomfortable, so he had to hide the money bag behind him, revealing a flattering face and saying: "Brother Hai, I was about to look for you, you see how you came in person." ”
Seeing him hiding behind him, Brother Hai grabbed it and raised his hand, only to see that he was holding a bulging bag of money in his hand. Brother Hai's eyes lit up, snatched the money bag, opened it and took a look, patted Jiang Tong's shoulder with a smile and said, "Little boy, you did a good job, you have gained a lot today, continue to work hard, and you will soon be able to pay off the money and interest owed to me." ”
Jiang Tong made a bitter face, forced a smile on his face, where did he not know, this Hai Ge is insatiable, if it weren't for his first time, he was inexperienced, he was caught, and he wouldn't be bullied and squeezed by him, how could there be any arrears of money and interest, it was just a crime imposed by him, this is a bottomless pit, I don't know how much he has taken?
"Yes, I'm not going to look for you and give you money. That, Brother Hai, you see, I have gained a lot today, I haven't eaten it yet, or you can leave some for me, so I can fill my stomach, and I will have the strength to fish for you tomorrow. Jiang Tong pleaded with a look of despair.
Brother Hai smiled when he heard this, and said with a little seriousness: "Little boy, I know your ability and cleverness, what is this? It's still early, maybe you can find another wronged boss and get some food money, then you Brother Hai and I, I won't bother you, let's go first." After saying that, Brother Hai turned around and left with a smile on his followers.
Jiang Tong was physically and mentally exhausted at this time, kneeling on the ground, looking at the back of Brother Hai and the others leaving, there were words of suffering, only hating himself for being unlucky and incompetent, facing Brother Hai, he couldn't even say a trace of the words he was fighting for, although he knew that even if he said it, it was useless.
Although he was unwilling in his heart, what could he do? Jiang Tong still got up and prepared to leave, and at this moment, there was a sound of fighting in the direction where Brother Hai and the others left. Jiang Tong was also very curious in his heart, and hurriedly ran over there and hid in the corner to spy on it.
I saw two figures dressed as domestic servants, with smooth movements and agile skills, and within a moment, Brother Hai and a few big men were knocked to the ground by the two people dressed as domestic servants. Brother Hai lay on the ground and begged bitterly: "Master Liu, I really didn't steal this money bag, if I knew that this money bag was yours, I wouldn't want it if I killed it." Brother Hai pleaded as he held the money bag high and begged for mercy.
The two servants took the money bag and respectfully came to a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, and this middle-aged man was Liu Yan.
Jiang Tong recognized it at a glance, which made Brother Hai begging for mercy The old man Liu was the one who Jiang Tong stole just now, Jiang Tong was a little flustered at this time, how did he know that this was the dignified old man of the Liu family, if he knew it earlier, he would not have attacked him. Although he was very scared in his heart, Jiang Tong still hid tightly behind the corner, wanting to see this rare picture in front of him.
Although Liu Yan didn't recognize the face of this Hai Ge, he also knew that he should be the local ruffian hooligan, and he didn't see the face of the person who hit him carefully, but after all, he still knew something about the ruffians in this Jiangdu city. I think it should be that the little minions under Brother Hai don't know themselves, so they have the audacity to steal themselves, get the silver taels, and hand over the silver taels to this Hai Ge.
If it weren't for Liu Yan's own momentary distraction, being a thief, and feeling undignified, he wouldn't want to recover it, after all, these are just a few points to him.
Liu Yan saw that this money bag was not a penny, so much money, it should be a lot of money for them, the little brother who stole the money was a great achievement, and this brother Hai thought that he should not reward his little brother. I knew in my heart that this person must be an insatiable and domineering person, so he said in a stern voice: "Although the money was not stolen by you, you cannot escape the blame, seeing that you should be a barbaric person, and the people under him are not a good thing, today's beating is a lesson for you, if there is another time next time, I will call you ......"
As soon as Brother Hai heard this, he knew that his life should be saved, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Liu, I don't dare anymore, there will be no next time." Behind him, a group of men already bowed down with him.
Liu Yan turned around and left, leaving only Brother Hai and his party, Jiang Tong in the dark saw that Brother Hai and his party were all disabled, such an appearance really made Jiang Tong's heart happy, he really didn't expect that this Brother Hai would have today.
Jiang Tong came back to his senses and knew that although Master Liu would not trouble him, but Brother Hai would definitely sprinkle that anger on himself after eating this beating, if he met Brother Hai in the future, what should he do? Jiang Tong was worried and scared for a while, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he immediately ran away, or go to find Liu Feng first, and go back to the broken temple, but fortunately, Brother Hai didn't know where he was hiding, so he could be at peace for a while.
Jiang Tong ran all the way to find Liu Feng, and he couldn't care about anything else, he was thinking all the way that he had caused such a disaster because of a momentary thought. Although most of Brother Hai and his party are disabled, after all, there are many of them, and they also recognize Liu Feng, if they meet, Liu Feng must be in trouble.
At this time, Liu Feng waited for Jiang Tong for a long time, and when he saw that he had not come for a long time, he was afraid that he would come again, so he went to look for him, and continued to look for a livelihood while looking for Jiang Tong during this period. Liu Feng saw that it was not early, and his stomach was also hungry, thinking that Xiaowen and they were also waiting for them at home, but now Jiang Tong didn't know where they were, and his heart began to be anxious.
Fortunately, Jiang Tong found Liu Feng in time, but he didn't tell him what he was going to do, he just said to leave quickly, so he grabbed Liu Feng and rushed to the direction of the broken temple.
