Chapter 14: Betrayal

Along Qingluo Creek, go downstream for about 20 miles, is Xikou Town.

The shops in Xikou Town are densely populated, and most of them are relatively wealthy, among which the most prominent wealth is the Liu family in the west of the town.

The Liu family has been an official for three generations, and they are good at management, so their wealth is not ordinary.

Liu Taigong, who has passed away for many years, is the official to the former head of the Qing Officials Department, which is a Beijing official, extremely noble and honorable.

The old lady Liu, who is still alive, was also an official of the former Qing Dynasty, and he was sentenced by Lin'an Mansion, which was the world's first-class fat shortage, and he was so rich that he was oily.

After entering the Republic of China, Mrs. Liu stayed at home and ignored mundane affairs for many years.

Now the Liu family is in charge of Liu Kezhao, the eldest son of Master Liu. Liu Kezhao was impeached for corruption, retired from the position of senator in a county, and has been at home for two or three years. The gongs and drums in the countryside are played in the countryside, and the things on the official side do not damage the reputation of the township, and he is still called Master Liu from far and near.

At noon, an uninvited guest, Wang Jiagui, the chief of Qingluo Village, came to Liu's house.

Because it was lunch time soon, and Wang Jiagui did not indicate the specific reason for asking to see him, Liu Kezhao decided not to see him without thinking.

The man had already obtained a small piece of tobacco from the Wang family, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said: "Master, it's better to see it, the matter seems to be related to the little young master of the second master's family....... In the morning, the little young master took people out, and it was said that he was going to Qingluo Village to make trouble........"

"Troublemaker?" Old Man Liu frowned, and said strangely, "Isn't Qingluo Village his uncle's house?" At this point, he paused and blinked, "That being the case...... That's the second child's private matter, and I don't want to ask about it. Take them to him. ”

"Yes, sir." Menzi bowed and retreated.

Not long after, Wang Jiagui met Liu Kejun, the second master of the Liu family, in the flower hall of the side courtyard.

"Bandits? This is a big hat! ”

Liu Kejun has a fat head, big ears, and a fat body, holding a cigarette gun in both hands, like a bear breaking a corn cob. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the servant came in with tea, and just after listening to Wang Jiagui's intention, Liu Kejun jumped up from the chair as if he had a spring on the bottom of his buttocks, his fat white face was flushed, and his eyes were round:

"Big, big worm, what's going on now?"

Liu Kejun is more than half a hundred years old, and has a son and three daughters under his knees, the only son Liu Daworm is his original wife Hui Niang, who has always been the meat on the tip of his heart, after Hui Niang passed away, he spoiled this only son more and more.

Some time ago, Liu Daworm said that his cousin Chen Qinghua had discovered tungsten ore in the mountains, and he had pulled a group of Japanese to invest in mining. Liu Kejun naturally knew that this was a good deal, so he moved his mind to buy shares. was about to go to his uncle's house in person to find out the situation, but his son Liu Daworm patted his chest and took the matter down, saying that no matter what, he would also get this thing done.

Liu Daworm has always been unlearned and idle, and suddenly changed his sex, which can make Liu Kejun, who wants to be a Jackie Chan, overjoyed. So I agreed to him.

No one expected that this time as a cousin, he would have a closed door at his cousin's place.

His cousin, Chen Qinghua, said that the capital and technology needed to open the mine all depended on the Orientals. From the beginning, there was a cooperation agreement between the two parties, and the Japanese were fully responsible for the mine. Therefore, as a shareholder, I only have the right to dividends, and I cannot interfere in the operation and management of the mine, let alone introduce others to become shareholders.

The matter was rejected cleanly, and there was no room for negotiation.

After listening to the report, Liu Kejun took the case. In anger, he decided to use his family connections to teach this ignorant nephew a good lesson, so that he could know which one had the final say.

The father and son discussed it again and again, and decided that the son would come forward to make a fuss first, and wait until the matter was unresolved, and then the father would come forward to clean up the deadlock...... According to the experience of the Liu family, as long as they do this, nothing can be done.

Who would have thought, this time there was another government commissioner, and he directly detained everyone.

Liu Kejun's first reaction was to worry about his son's situation, he was worried and distressed, since he was a child, how could this child have been wronged like this?

"Uncle, don't worry too much," Wang Jiagui also stood up and said earnestly, "Although Young Master Biao crashed into the hands of the government commissioner, my Wang family nobleman is soft-spoken, and there is nothing I can do about it." But no matter what, Young Master Cousin is also the nephew of our Qingluo Village, with me here, how can he suffer too much?! ”

Wang Jiagui looks like he is shouldering morality with iron shoulders,

"When I arrived, when I arrived at the ancestral hall, I took a look at the empty space and untied a few of them and arranged them in the firewood room. When I came, I told the family to cook and send it quickly. Speaking of this, Wang Jiagui paused, and said with some embarrassment, "It's just that the family is poor, so I cook some ordinary meals, and I don't know how many young masters there are, can you get used to eating?" ”

"Hey, Wang Baochang is too worried," Liu Kejun saw that Wang Jiagui was sweating on his forehead, and knew that he was in a hurry along the way, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's good that someone is delivering food." This bastard boy...... If you can't understand Wang Baochang's hard work and dare not eat, it would be better, starve him to death, like this..... I can also save snacks and live a few more years....... Hehe, Chief Wang, let's sit down and talk! Sit, sit. Don't you know, this scourge has broken my heart since my mother left...... Come, drink tea, drink tea. ”

The two of them sat down again and picked up their teacups.

Looking at the pampered fat man in front of him, he was hammered into a mess by the news he brought, and Wang Jiagui felt a burst of happiness in his heart. Hmph, the three generations of your Xikou Liu family are officials, and their wealth is powerful, so what? This time, you were subjected to a special commissioner from the government who wanted to put the Qing Dynasty aside, that is, the minister who had been ordered by the emperor. I want to see, this time is your Liu family domineering, or is it a powerful official from the Nanjing government?

At this time, I saw Liu Kejun take a sip of tea, and suddenly remembered something, frowning: "Chief Wang, how many people are there in this commissioner's party?" ”

"W-this....."

When Wang Jiagui heard this, he muttered...... It can't be said that this commissioner paid a private visit and was attacked by bandits in the mountains, and his entourage was lost in the bandits' den...... If you tell the truth like this, it will seem that this commissioner is not pompous enough, and it will inevitably make the second master in front of him look down on him; Second, let the second master know that the commissioner had no relationship with Qingluo Village before, and according to the Liu family's nature, it is inevitable to retaliate against Qingluo Village afterwards...... Third, I can't show the value of sending charcoal in the snow today......
