Chapter Seventy-One: Qingpu Xu's Family
In the dimly lit room, Chen Xian sat quietly in front of the dilapidated bed, looking at the pale maid lying quietly.
Next to him was Yue Yue, who was wrapped in a strip of cloth on his head, and the boy looked at the unconscious hedge, and said loudly: "I'm going to find Mr. Su, I'm going to let him teach me kung fu, so that no one can bully my father and mother anymore......"
But before he finished speaking, he revealed the essence of a child, his eyes were red, and he cried a little when he spoke: "Sister Xiaoli is the best for Yue Yue, and she will give Yue Yue pastries ......to eat."
Chen Xian rubbed the child's head, then waved him out.
Chen Xian stayed on the little girl's blue and purple neck for a moment, then turned around, comforted Lu Xiaochai with a sad face, and said, "Xiao Xian should have been choked by the carotid artery, or it won't be long before he wakes up." ”
Lu Xiaochai pursed her lips and nodded, and sat on the edge of the bed gently, her head drooping slightly, without saying a word.
Seeing her cowardly appearance, Chen Xian smiled gently: "Xiao Hai don't worry, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it." Don't you still believe in your officials' abilities? Speaking of this, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Do you remember the gangster who made a fuss in Hangzhou City years ago?" Later, she met Ben Daxia and was caught by me with a crossbar! ”
Lu Xiaochai was amused by his words and wanted to laugh, but thinking of Xiaoli's injury and the current crisis, he could only laugh reluctantly, and was about to respond to his lover, but heard Chang Heiniu's loud voice from the door: "It's negotiated!" Miss Xu is really a good person! ”
Chen Xianyi raised his eyebrows, he knew that the Xu family used to be the largest household in Qingpu and raised dozens of fishermen, and Yue Zheng's wife, Yue Sun, used to be Miss Xu's maid, but because the fishing industry has not been prosperous in recent years, many fishermen have changed their livelihoods, and the Xu family has gradually declined.
But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if the Xu family declines, it can still afford to hold up more than a dozen big boats.
After thinking about it, Chang Heiniu walked in with a grin and said with a smile: "Miss Xu said, let's go to his house to hide for a night, and then Ming'er will send you to Songjiang with an idea!" ”
"What about you?" Chen Xian looked sideways at the cute black-faced man in front of him.
"Oh!" Chang Heiniu scratched his head and complained: "Let's settle you first, alas, I don't know what Lao Yue thinks, what kind of trouble did I bring you over!" ”
Chen Xian stood up, paced in the room with his hands behind his back, and only after a moment did he look up at Chang Heiniu and said, "Tell me about the situation of the Bao family in detail." ”
Chang Heiniu didn't know why, so he could only tell Chen Xian what he knew one by one.
It turned out that the Bao family used to be close to the Yue family, and they were all small fishermen with some surplus money in their hands, and other fishermen couldn't make much money in the past two years, but the Bao family's business was getting bigger and bigger, and they grabbed 30 big boats from the surrounding fishermen, and did not let ordinary fishermen go to sea.
As for why these oppressed fishermen don't report to the official, it is because the Bao family has three brothers, the third is named Bao Lishi, who served as a pawn in the county government of Shanghai County, although the pawn history of this county government is a small official who is not in the stream, but he is in charge of a county's arrest and prison, and in the eyes of ordinary people such as Yue Zheng and Chang Heiniu, he is definitely a big man.
The Bao Hong who came up at noon is the only seedling of Bao Lisheng, the head of the Bao family, who is usually arrogant and domineering, but today he kicked Chen Xian's iron plate and was beaten into that miserable appearance. It is worth mentioning that the Bao family also has a second child named Bao Linong, who usually wanders around the street with nothing to do, and is afraid that there is no work to do at home.
Chen Xianzheng frowned and thought about it, but was interrupted by the little maid who woke up leisurely.
Xiao Liang woke up slowly, the first thing that caught her eye was the dirty roof, she turned her eyes to look at the side, but saw her own young lady was looking at herself in a daze, at this moment the eyes of the two made contact, and a trace of surprise flashed between the young lady's eyes.
"Xiaoli, you're awake!" Lu Xiaochai happily reached out and pulled the messy hair on her forehead for the little girl.
Xiao Fence tilted her head again, only to find that even the young master was accompanying her, her heart warmed, and the corners of her mouth raised and said, "Miss, don't worry, Xiao Fence is real!" ”
After saying this, her tone weakened, and there was a little more shame in her big eyes: "Xiao Liang didn't protect Miss, it's really useless......"
Lu Xiaochai looked at the bruises on the neck of the small fence, pursed her lips and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Chang Heiniu's arrogant voice: "Hey, it just happened that this little girl woke up, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome when the Bao family finds it!" ”
Along the way, Chang Heiniu introduced the situation of the Xu family to Chen Xian and the others, and Chen Xian suddenly understood why the Yuesun family kept saying that the Xu family would help, because now the head of the Xu family is the eldest lady of the Xu family, Xu Bijun.
Xu Bijun is not very old, only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he had a husband-like gentleman in his early years, but unfortunately died early when he went to sea.
It is said that she not only supported the huge family business alone after the death of the master of the Xu family, but also was as beautiful as a flower, and Bao Hong, who was beaten into a pig's head by Chen Xian at noon, also asked someone to ask for a kiss a few times, of course, don't refuse.
Chen Xian listened to Chang Hei Niu chattering all the way, and secretly summarized in his heart: This is a widow with a beautiful appearance and certain leadership skills.
The Xu family's mansion is in the south, although it is a three-entry courtyard, it is more than twice as large as Chen Xian's old house in Zhugan Lane, Chen Xian's old mansion is located on the west side of the street gate, and the east side is the adjacent road. On both sides of the door of Xujia Street are long inverted houses, this kind of high-rise family that has been precipitated for many years, even if it is now thin, is obviously much more magnificent than Chen Xian, a small nouveau riche.
At this moment, in front of the dark red gate, Fan Dingbo and Mi Yu were arguing about something, and when they saw Chen Xian and a few people coming from a distance, Fan Dingbo shook his folding fan, took two steps to greet him, and said: "Okay, you have to give me a comment!"
"Oh?" Xiao Li's awakening made Chen Xian's mood better, he smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Before Fan Dingbo could speak, Mi Yu walked over and interjected: "Okay, I said I was going to report to the official!" Dingbo disagreed, I think he was poisoned by Su Cheng! ”
"Who poisoned him!" Fan Dingbo was furious, as if he had been greatly wronged, and stomped his feet and said: "I think you just don't know the times!" ”
"Why don't you know the times! In this case, shouldn't you report to the official? The state capital and county government set up by the imperial court, what do the magistrates and judges do! ”
Fan Dingbo said angrily: "Then the third child of the Bao family is the classic history of Shanghai County, if I wait to report to the official, wouldn't I be caught in the net?" ”
"Humph!" Mi Yu also stomped his foot angrily: "The history of the canon is just a subordinate of the county, can he still cover the sky with one hand?" ”
These two obviously took out the energy they were holding back after the defeat and loss in the debate with Su Xinqi yesterday, and at this moment, no one backed down.
