Chapter 114: Two Choices
When Mrs. Liu San said this, everyone couldn't help but look at Liu Yujiang. Mrs. Liu is nothing, but Mr. Liu is frowning slightly.
“…… I just entered the city, I think I saw it wrong. Liu Yujiang was very calm, and didn't seem to take Mrs. Liu's words to heart, but responded lightly.
"I think it's a mistake to think of Brother Zhang as a big man." Mrs. Liu laughed.
Mrs. Liu San laughed twice, but didn't argue again. The family talked with Mrs. Liu again, and Mrs. Liu said that she was tired.
"Da Lang has been busy outside these days, so let's go and rest early." Mrs. Liu deliberately said to Liu Yujiang.
"I'll accompany the old lady again, I haven't seen you these days." Liu Yujiang laughed with a smile.
Mrs. Liu was coaxed by Liu Yujiang to be more and more happy, but the idea of feeling sorry for her grandson prevailed.
"I'm an old woman, but what do I have to accompany." Mrs. Liu smiled, "Go back quickly, and you should have a good talk to your daughter-in-law." Tomorrow, you will come back and talk to me the same. ”
Mrs. Liu sent Liu Yujiang away, and then, everyone dispersed one after another.
The next day, Mrs. Liu took Liu Ruoxi's housework with her, and as soon as she was free, Liu's grandmother came over, and she was a little thoughtful and gossiped for a long time before leaving.
Second Mrs. Liu is a little strange.
"What's wrong with Grandma/Grandma today, it seems that there is something to say or not?" Mrs. Liu said to Liu Ruoxi.
"Looking at today's extraordinarily thief eyebrows, looking around, I will ask my father, and I will ask Brother Wen, I think she heard the rumor and inquired about the news." Liu Ruoxi said.
In the past, because the conditions were not yet ripe, they only hid the matter of succeeding Liu Yuwen to death, but now the conditions are becoming more and more mature. So although it was not publicly stated, it was no longer so deliberately concealed.
"Those two people came over yesterday, there must be a fine person in this mansion who noticed something." That's why Liuda/Grandma came to investigate.
Since it was an inquiry, it only knocked on the side, and did not ask a word about the succession. This doesn't fit Grandma's personality. Moreover, in the eyes of Liu Yujiang and Liu Da/Grandma, they have long regarded the position of the heir of the second room as something in their pockets, and according to Liu Da/Grandma's personality, they should ask the second Mrs. Liu directly.
"Don't you have any scruples?" Mrs. Liu said.
"Perhaps. It's something else. Liu Ruoxi said, yesterday Liu Yujiang quietly returned home, and left quietly, and only came back when the lamp was held. Where he went and what he did, no one in this house knows.
"No matter what he is, nothing can change anything." Liu Ruoxi said, this is her determination, and she also has this confidence. At the same time, it is also to comfort Mrs. Liu.
"Cheng Han, this kid, I don't know how things are going?" Mrs. Liu looked out of the door and remembered Rong Chenghan.
It was he who took the initiative to ask his father for this errand, thinking that although he ...... Not so much. But such a thing can't be smashed. "Otherwise, Rong Chenghan would have lived in vain all these years.
The matter of dealing with Liu Yubo and Ma Da/grandma is handed over to Rong Chenghan, and Liu Ruoxi is very relieved. This man may not have any other merits. But he walks the talk, and he does what he says. Since he said that he could do it, he would definitely be able to do it. No need to worry about it at all.
……
In an ordinary farmhouse courtyard in Liushuzhuang outside the capital, today is a little unusual, on the willow tree outside the far gate, a few tall horses are tied, just look at the horse's posture and spiritual head, you know that it is not an ordinary family livestock.
The neighbors on the left and right knew that early this morning, there were guests in the courtyard of this farmhouse.
The people who live in this farmhouse are naturally Liu Yubo and Ma Da/Grandma's family. At this moment, in the main house, Liu Yubo and Martha/Grandma were kneeling on the ground, with tears and snot on their faces, and their bodies were shaking like sifting chaff. On the bench in the middle of the room, it was the killing god in their minds.
I met once in Liufu yesterday, and Liu Yubo and Martha/Grandma recognized it at a glance, this person was Rong Chenghan.
Rong Chenghan didn't come alone, he also brought a few relatives, each with long shoulders and round waists, with waist knives, and a fierce and vicious face. There was no need to make a sound, as soon as these people stood in this house, Liu Yubo and Martha/Grandma both had weak legs. Fierce as Ma Da/Grandma, when a short man draws/pulls out his waist knife and wields it, he is also dumb in fright.
"You say, someone came to you last night?" Rong Chenghan sat on the bench and looked at the two people kneeling on the ground.
Such two people, in Rong Chenghan's eyes, are almost the same as chickens and ducks outside. Over the years, although he has been the little prince of Yongjing Palace, he has come from the bottom step by step to the present. Liu Yubo and Martha/Grandma are like people, he hasn't seen them before.
Such a person doesn't need to reason with him at all, and he doesn't need to use any brains. Don't look at these two people who rushed in front of Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu, the lion opened his mouth, but when they came to him, they all became gourds with sawed mouths. What he said, these two people did not dare to refuse. Because, such people are actually the most discerning, and they know that people like Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu will not do anything to them. However. Rong Chenghan and these few can do whatever they want to do to them.
It was Liu Yubo who replied this time, because Martha/Grandma was scared, and he couldn't speak anyway.
"Yes...... It's ......," Liu Yubo pale with a pale face, for fear that a few people around him would draw a knife and cut him, while talking about the fact that someone came to find their husband and wife last night. The man who came did not let them promise to pass Liu Yuwen over, and said that if they did so, they would have money to take. If they refuse, then they have a choice of whether to die or go to jail.
It was also after a fright last night, and today it is even worse, and the dream of wealth and wealth of the two people has not yet been completed, so they have gone face to face with Lord Yama.
"What do you say?" Rong Chenghan thought about it and asked.
“…… Don't dare not ......agree," Liu Yubo said, on his back, there was a whiplash on the fire, and the people who came also threatened them with their children.
"I want you to agree now," Rong Chenghan listened, and didn't seem to care at all, "I'll give you the conditions." promised to take three hundred taels of silver, and in the future they would be treated as relatives. Promise to succeed, take three thousand taels of silver, and from then on cut it in two, and you will draw a pledge on the document that you have sold. ”
"How, which one to choose?" A few men around asked in a rough voice. These men still belong to the short and long ones, and the other likes to use knives to swatt flies, and there is a slap-long scar on his face, which is a little more vicious than the evil ghosts in the temple.
Liu Yubo and Martha/Grandma both cried.
"My children, my children's lives ......" Although these two are greedy and mean, they still have some feelings for their own children, and they are still a little bit humane.
"What a mess, our commander asks you which one to choose. If you don't choose, grandpa is used to drinking human blood with this knife, and he has been thirsty for many days, so it is better to take your two sacrificial knives today! The scar-faced man said, and as he spoke, he was already out of the sheath.
"You, you ......, no, no Wang Fa......" Martha/Grandma was worried about her children, desperate for her last bit of courage, but she was not full of energy, obviously she knew in her heart that the so-called Wang Fa was nothing in the eyes of these people in front of her, just like the lives of the two of them, as well as the lives of her children.
"Choose one, or else, I'll hand you over to him." Rong Chenghan said, and pointed to the man with the scarred face.
It doesn't mean that if they say yes, they will help save their children, but they are given a choice. The lives of children are still theirs. Three hundred taels, or three thousand taels.
In Rong Chenghan's eyes, people like Liu Yubo and Martha/Grandma are not worthy of the slightest sympathy. In the face of such people, only absolute coercion is the most effective.
Liu Yubo struggled with Martha/Grandma for a while, and Martha/Grandma fainted and was woken up by splashing cold water again. At this time, it seems that Liu Yubo's heart is harder. In the end, the couple finally faced reality.
Things don't have to be chosen.
"Yes, three thousand taels!" The couple's answer to this question is unanimous.
Rong Chenghan didn't say anything, just took out a document from his sleeve, this was discussed between Rong Chenghan and Liu Er Master yesterday, three hundred taels and three thousand taels were two choices, which were Liu Ruoxi's idea. Rong Chenghan watched Liu Yubo and Ma Da/Grandma sign and sign the paperwork, and then carefully tucked the paperwork into his sleeve and came out of the house first.
"Don't-don't kill us." Liu Yubo and Martha/Grandma were all frightened, thinking that the silver that Rong Chenghan had just said was a lie to them, and now that the paperwork was in hand, they were going to kill them.
"Kill you?! The master is still afraid of staining the master's treasure knife! The scar-faced man said disdainfully.
"Hurry up and pick up and take you into the city. If you want to meet the nobles, don't embarrass you! The stout man said.
Liu Yubo and Ma Da/Grandma trembled and changed their clothes, freshened up a little, and were stuffed into a carriage. Rong Chenghan was on the horse and whispered a few words to Scarface, and Scarface took two people to beat the horse and left first. Rong Chenghan then took the carriage and went to the city.
By the time Rong Chenghan arrived at the gate of Liufu, it was already close to noon.
Second Master Liu had already gotten the news and rushed back from the Hanlin Academy. Rong Chenghan asked people to bring Liu Yubo and Martha/Grandma to meet Second Master Liu.
Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi naturally came over to meet.
Rong Chenghan handed over the documents that had been drawn to Master Liu, who read it, shook his head, and handed it to Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi. This result was something they had expected a long time ago. Liu Yubo and Martha/Grandma admit money but don't recognize people, so ruthless. On the other hand, it also saves a lot of trouble in the future.
