036. Unplanned
Master Li was very efficient, and on the day Luo Yunshi found him, he sent someone to record a confession and retrieve the physical evidence. The next day, he sent a few catchers to bring them back to Nangong Dingkang.
Nangong Dingkang was very cooperative, admitting that the waist pendant was an ornament for Nangong's disciples, but did not admit that he set fire to hurt people. However, on the day of the fire, no one proved his whereabouts. Master Li also simply put him in the prison of Quanzhou Mansion.
Of course, this stems from the fact that when Luo Yunshi asked him, he gave Master Li five thousand taels of silver tickets.
Quanzhou Mansion Prison.
Li Songran checked the cell boss before he was allowed to come in and visit.
There was a high window hole in the cell, which let in sunlight and smelled a little, but it was not very dim. Nangong Dingkang stood quietly with his hands in his hands, and his spirit was not bad.
"Uncle, your ......, I just went to find Master Li of Quanzhou Mansion, saying that he was out and would not come back until the day after tomorrow." Li Songran was a little frustrated, and his voice was anxious.
"It's okay. Actually, the conditions here are good, there are tables and chairs, and there are single rooms. Nangong Dingkang laughed and teased.
"I really don't know what he thinks, why is he doing this!" Li Songran was very angry.
"Don't be angry, it's okay." Instead, it was Nangong Dingkang who comforted him.
"While calling Brother Peng Sheng over and over again, he ...... that anyone really wants to take advantage of him and deliberately leave me to eat, I thought he had figured it out, and I thought he was interesting. Actually, actually, I want to ....... The more Li Songran thought about it, the more angry he became, and he punched the wall hard.
"Songran, you are outside, they don't have much evidence for this. I'll be locked up for a few days at most. Nangong Dingkang thought about it, shook his head, and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that he also has such a good relationship with the government." Now, maybe he didn't even think about what to do with it himself, hehe. By the way, has Peng Sheng's money been returned? ”
"Do you want to pay it back?"
"Of course, I have to pay it back, the Peng family suffered a disaster, and this money is to send carbon in the snow. No matter how much, let's go and pay back some of it today. ”
Li Songran lowered his head, still a little angry.
"Relax, calm down. After returning the silver, Peng Sheng will put pressure on him, after all, Peng Sheng is the bitter master of the Peng family. Do you know how to do this? ”
Li Songran exhaled deeply and nodded.
"That's right, go ahead." Nangong Dingkang said with a smile.
**********
When Peng Sheng saw Li Songran at the Hometown Inn, he was taken aback. Seeing that Li Songran took out a box of silver tickets and handed it to him, he burst into tears. "This, this ......, but ......."
"It's part of the ship, and part of it, and I'll get it later. Although the ship has sunk, the cost of shipbuilding should still be paid as agreed. I also know that these three ships are under the name of Xiang Kee. If the ship comes back, of course, it will have to be handed over to Xiang Ji, and if you can't come back now, forget it. Li Songran said lightly.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Li, this ......." Peng Sheng's hand holding the box trembled.
"Rest assured, we will definitely find out the truth about the arson, and we will be responsible for it to the end. Boss Peng rest assured. ”
"I, I also told Xiao Luo, this matter, this matter may be a false accusation, I know that the Nangong clan has always had a good reputation, I believe in you. I'll look for Xiao Luo, no, look for Master Li, this matter must be framed. It's just, it's just that the contract documents I have here are gone, Li Gongzi, it's really ......, yes, I'll write a receipt to Li Gongzi. ”
When Li Songran left with the receipt, Peng Sheng was still behind him.
Not far away, seeing Luo Yunshi coming, Li Songran ran a few steps quickly, "Nangong Jin!" As he spoke, he slammed his fist into the door of Luo Yunshi. Luo Yunshi slid to dodge, and directly clasped his vein with his right hand, and whispered in his ear: "I want to fight and go outside the city." There are a lot of people here, I'm afraid you don't look good. ”
Li Songran didn't listen to him, and struggled a few times, "You, it's a big rebellion!" You don't deserve the surname Nangong at all. ”
"I'm sorry, in Xia Luoyunshi, did you make a mistake?"
"Why?!" Li Songran was furious.
"What, why? But just eat prison food for a few days, and besides, you will send it every day, can you use it so much? Luo Yunshi said it lightly.
"Why? Why? Why?! Li Songran stared at him angrily.
Luo Yunshi sneered, his voice indifferent, "Hehe, eldest young master, do you think it's bad to be in prison?" Do you know that some people deliberately steal and rob in order to have rancid soup to eat and a place to sleep, and they beg to spend a few nights in prison, but unfortunately, they are often beaten. Do you think this makes you angry? Do you know what anger is? I haven't eaten for four days, and someone else gave half a steamed bun, but someone snatched it away and stepped on the ground fiercely, that person just wants to see how angry you look. Master, when you are in despair, you will know that these are not a problem. Still want to fight? If I don't fight, I'll let go. ”
Li Songran did not move, nor did he make a sound. Luo Yunshi let go, Li Songran didn't make any more moves, just turned his head and stared at him coldly.
Luo Yunshi ignored him and walked away.
**********
In the living room of Xiangji, Peng Sheng had just left, and he calculated that after taking the money, in addition to paying off his debts, there would be enough for him to rebuild a mansion that was not as big as before. Of course, his main purpose was still a share, Luo Yunshi didn't ask him for a penny, so Peng Sheng said that he had met a good person, and left happily.
Luo Yunshi stood in front of the window, looking at the crowded street downstairs.
Just now, he instructed the account office to settle the previous debts, of course, after giving Master Li 5,000 taels, there were less than 20,000 taels, which was not enough to repay the debts. Fortunately, before this, he took over several warehouses under the name of Xiang Ji, which was almost enough. As for the personnel, those who can be dismissed were dismissed last time. The old grandson of the account room is an old man of Xiang Ji, a little old man in his sixties, no family, usually eat and live in Xiang Ji, do not want to go, Luo Yunshi simply gave him the deed of Xiang Ji, and when he left, he rented or sold with him. But Lao Sun refused to accept it, and always said that it was for safekeeping. There is also that one percent of the paperwork, wait back to Yanzhou, and return it to Ling Zheng.
Although he took other people's money and became a boy who scattered wealth, Luo Yunshi was not in a good mood.
The ship is coming back soon, anyway, I thought it should have come back a long time ago, no wonder Zheng Shu said it was uncontrollable before, alas, ....... Forget it, it's not bad for a few days, give the boat to Bihaitang and leave. No matter what troubles the three ships will have, it has nothing to do with him, isn't the big boss in Quanzhou, he will deal with it.
That's it, that's it. Anyway, I was suspended, so I just forgot it casually, packed up and went back to Yanzhou.
The more he thought about it, the more painful his chest became, and Luo Yunshi leaned on the chair and sat down. When did you have this problem? Looking for a doctor? Alas, let's go back to Yanzhou.
"The owner, the owner, Mr. Luo ......." Lao Sun has always been stable, but this time he almost rushed into the reception room.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Lao Sun was sweating profusely and panting, "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”
Lao Sun was relieved and said anxiously: "Boss, Wang Shuigen is back!" ”
"Who?"
Only then did Lao Sun remember that Luo Yunshi didn't know this person, and hurriedly explained: "He is from Tantou Village." The first mate on the Yongjin, he's not dead! ”
"He's the only one? Where is it? ”
"He's the only one, in the Rejuvenation Hall Medical Hall."
**********
Luo Yunshi didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and by the time he arrived at the Rejuvenation Hall, there were already many people at the door, and he only let him in after reporting his name.
"Where's Wang Shuigen?" Lao Sun was more anxious than him.
The snow-white haired old doctor on the side nodded to Luo Yunshi, "Young Master Luo, we met last time." ”
"Doctor Yu." Luo Yunshi also nodded.
"Two, go this way. He's not badly injured, and we're still dealing with it. However, there should be no worries about your life for the time being. ”
When he saw the person in front of him, Luo Yunshi was still startled. Thin to the point of not being human-shaped, mixed with various wounds, one leg turned black, Dr. Yu said that it was because the injury had not been treated for too long, and if he wanted to save his life, he had to amputate his leg. This situation, Luo Yunshi has seen before - abuse!
"He, didn't say what's going on?" Luo Yunshi asked softly.
"He said he found it on the side of the road, and he was in a coma since he was brought over. We looked for it, but we didn't have any luggage, paperwork. If it weren't for the tattoo on his arm, we wouldn't have recognized him. Now that his family hasn't arrived yet, ...... Gongzi Luo? Doctor Yu looked at Luo Yunshi, waiting for him to make an idea.
Luo Yunshi took out fifty taels of silver tickets from his arms and handed them over, "With the best medicine, I want him to live." ”
"Not so much." Doctor Yu took one. "We're going to save his life. Feel relieved! The two of them go out first and so on. ”
Who did the abuse? How can there be only one person, and the others? Is this the style of the military department? Zheng Shu and Ren Yinsheng didn't say, what reason was used to detain the boat? Where is the buckle? How could this be the case, the ship?
Luo Yunshi and Lao Sun sat in the patio of the medical hall, and the doctors and doctors in the surrounding medical halls were busy with Wang Shuigen, who suddenly appeared.
"...... the owner, Young Master Luo?" Lao Sun looked at Luo Yunshi and muttered as if he couldn't open his mouth.
Luo Yunshi was slightly distracted, "Huh? What's up? ”
"That's the case, some things ......, Lao Sun doesn't know if Luo Gongzi has ever done shipping before?" Lao Sun didn't seem to know what to say.
"Old Sun, if there's anything, just say it directly."
"That's ......." Lao Sun was still hesitating, "Alas, I know that some things may be detrimental to the crew, but I also know that Luo Gongzi is a good person and will not really care." Right? ”
Luo Yunshi smiled helplessly, "I also want to know, what the hell is going on?" ”
"The owner, going to the ocean, has a high income, but it is also risky, so the recruited crew members have signed a death contract. That is, if a person dies, it doesn't matter. said that the ship was sunk before, and the family only came to ask for news, and did not ask Xiang Ji for compensation. But now the situation is different, people ...... alive, the owner, I know that this is a big burden, but you have to save them. When Lao Sun spoke, his expression was still very entangled.
When Luo Yunshi heard this, he was stunned, looked at Lao Sun and asked, "Are you afraid, I will want them to die?" ”
"These are the crews recruited by our Xiang Kee, one hundred and fifty people on one ship, and four hundred and fifty people on three ships, all of which have a roster. The owner, this Wang Shuigen is from Tantou Village, he is a good hand at going to sea, I have known him since he was a child, and my hometown is in the next village. These 450 people are basically from the villages of beachhead, beachtail, dongkeng, Haizhou, Dazhong, and the foot of the mountain, and they are all good and skilled in going to sea. Even many brothers, fathers and sons were on board. Landlord....... The old grandson chattered, looking anxious, and looking at Luo Yunshi with a hint of hope.
After a while, Luo Yunshi took a breath and said, "When Wang Shuigen wakes up, let's ask about the situation." ”
