According to legend, the ancestors of the Bai family started as mountain bandits, and later washed their hands in the golden basin, took advantage of the troubled times to occupy a piece of land, and since then they have multiplied, of course, the Bai family does not admit this statement, saying that the ancestors have been good for generations.

In Bai Qing's generation, the Bai family not only has a lot of good land outside the city, but also takes over several gambling houses in the city.

The construction of Qingyuanzhuang is also based on this purpose, Bai Qing bought this place and turned it over, it is intended to hype it up, and use it as a gathering place for Pengcheng County's clans, dignitaries, and officials, so it is not cost-effective to keep improving both inside and outside, otherwise it will not be cost-effective for Bai Qing to spend so much money.

Unfortunately, such a move did not get a response from the clan, and only a few officials came over occasionally, but in addition, it attracted many debtors to come and plead.

Now, after listening to Chen Zhi's praise from the family, the old man immediately showed a happy look, he usually looked down on Chen Zhi, but Chen Zhi's identity was valued by him, and such a contradictory heart was directly reflected in his attitude towards Chen Zhi - arrogant but humble.

Chen Zhi could feel that the old man in front of him despised him, so that from the time they met to the present, it seemed that he was polite and thoughtful, but in fact, his words and deeds were not respectful, but he was extremely nervous when he was waiting for himself to evaluate Qingyuanzhuang, and faintly regarded Chen Zhi as an authority.

Shaking his head, Chen Zhi no longer paid attention to this person, and took a step to leave.

"Bai Qing has persecuted, seduced, and used a lot of methods to deceive the former Chen Zhi many times in the past, the decline of his predecessor family, and he can't get rid of it, and a lot of fields have been seized by this person, and now as soon as he is instigated, he will immediately repeat the old tricks, if he asks me to pay back the money according to the rules, then that's it, if I have other ideas, I can't say that I can only do it, and I want to appease the Chen family afterwards, how can there be such a cheap thing! To settle with him today, it can be regarded as seeking justice for the predecessor and sorting out the trivial matters, if Bai Qing doesn't know how to advance or retreat, it will be no wonder to me. ”

He left this time because of the legacy of his predecessor Chen Zhi, he couldn't help but come, he came to end it, but he would also give Bai Qing a chance to choose, it depends on whether the other party can seize it.

As soon as Chen Zhi entered the main hall, he was greeted by a famous businessman on both sides, these people were dressed very elegantly, each of them looked extraordinary, sitting on his seat and looking at Chen Zhi.

In the innermost, the landlord Hao Qiang Bai Qing was wearing a black fur coat, and he sat on the main seat with a golden knife, and the seat was specially raised, so that he was higher than others and looked down on the spot.

As soon as he saw Chen Zhi come in, Bai Qing's Guozi face showed a faint smile, and then glared at him, with a kind of vicious meaning, with the rich lobby and the stairs on both sides, creating an illusion of overwhelming momentum and overwhelming the audience!

"Chen Zhi, you can be regarded as coming, if you don't come again, I will have someone arrest you again!" He smiled coldly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was unceremoniously, "How about it, you brought all my twenty taels of gambling debts?" ”

As soon as he saw that Chen Zhi could take the money, he immediately raised the asking price, so that he could wait for himself to seek land and property, although Xu Fang asked him to help, but Bai Qing didn't plan to help in vain, he still had to have a harvest.

"When did it become twenty taels? Your interest rate is going up too fast! ”

Chen Zhi stopped, looked slightly, and saw the clue.

"What a hype! This hall is laid out by feng shui, with hanging ladders on both sides, imitating the posture of the green dragon arching, white and green sitting in the center, surrounded by two dragons, worshipping a master, gathering wealth and many sons, so great ambition. ”

Dragons are not available to the people, but some layouts can simulate dragon shapes, creating a similar atmosphere, such as the two long staircases on the left and right of this hall. In addition, the businessmen sitting in it, all with cold faces, like three sessions of trial, staring at Chen Zhi solemnly, majestic and solemn.

Ordinary people, in this environment, are timid at first, as soon as the momentum falls, they can only retreat step by step, and finally lose the initiative, but Chen Zhi laughed instead, he knew that next, Bai Qing would first come to a majestic question, and then talk about his Bai Qing's power, and then praise each other with other gambling house stall owners, create an atmosphere, and then talk about gambling debts.

"Routines have existed since ancient times, just to make people's hearts."

Thinking about it, Chen Zhichong Bai Qing arched his hand and said: "I have seen the white stall master, I have been taken care of in the past, and the Ming people don't say dark words, the statement of twenty taels, you should take it back." As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd.

Not counting the guards standing behind the chairs, there were a total of eight people present, four on one side, counting Bai Qing, that is, nine stall masters. Chen Zhi's predecessors all owed debts in their gambling houses, but they had instructed Chen Fu before and agreed on a one-month period, but these people collectively rebelled in order to put Chen Zhi in trouble.

No one noticed that when Chen Zhi entered the door, a small sachet slipped from the cuff and fell to the ground, bouncing twice, emitting a faint smell.

The smell is too faint for ordinary people to detect, and the sachet is also small, blocked by Chen Zhi's body, and everyone else is making a gesture and can't notice it.

In fact, after Xu Fang left, Bai Qing also sent someone to investigate the situation of the dinner in Zhang's Mansion, but the time was too short, and the news had not been fed back, but he knew that Chen Zhizi was good and was praised by the elders, in addition, he didn't know much, considering the strength behind Xu Fang, Bai Qing felt that he still had to give some face, after all, he had already promised, in case he didn't honor it, and when the time came, there would be constant trouble, and he didn't know that Xu Fang was no longer there.

"Today's current affairs are to give Xu Fang an explanation, and then get the last dozen acres of Chen Zhi's family's land, and then just accuse the Chen Mansion, no matter how good he Chen Zhi's words are, he has to be controlled by the Chen Mansion, I heard that Chen Erye is also planning Chen Zhi's field, and the big deal is to transfer the good land I took to him, just make friends, empty gloves white wolf."

Bai Qing's idea is the result of limited information, in his eyes, Chen Zhi is just a son of a family, there are no hometown products, but the background is fearful, so as long as he reconciles with the Chen family behind him, Chen Zhi can't do anything, as for Chen Zhi lost his land, what is the fate of the family, it is not for him to worry about Master Bai.

Bai Qing is a huge rich squire, and he is afraid of the Chen family, but he is not even afraid of the family, otherwise he would not have set Chen Zhi before and encroached on the other party's property.

Thinking of this, Bai Qing laughed: "You said twenty taels let me take it back?" Joke! This is your debt, how can you say that you will take it? ”

Chen Zhi shook his head, took out the bag of silver, and said: "The silver is here, as much as it should be, and there is no need to say anything threatening, just take it." Don't use this set of price increases in front of me, I used to gamble, only today, but there is also a way to steal, do things according to the rules, don't be too ugly, since you have no sincerity, I have nothing to say, don't talk about it. ”

"You ......"

Bai Qing opened his mouth and stammered, he was going to suppress this family and show his prestige with words, but as a result, everyone took out all the money, and this sentence made the set of threatening words he prepared useless.

"It's nothing, I'll leave first, it's rare for you to have a party, eat and drink well." Handing the package to a servant of the Bai family, Chen Zhigong was about to leave.

If he leaves, if it goes well, nothing will happen tonight, and the grievances between himself and Bai Qing will be settled.

Pity......

"Wait!"

Seeing that Chen Zhi was about to walk out of the hall, Bai Qing suddenly came back to his senses, thinking of the good things he had said before, the threat of the Cao Gang and Wang Mi, so he could only bite the bullet.

"What's the matter with the stall owner?" Chen Zhi stopped, turned around, and waited for the next step with a smile.

"...... you" Bai Qing was stopped by the question, and could only pretend to be angry and laughed: "I thought that if I sent the silver, it would be fine?" The threat in his words was palpable.

Chen Zhi squinted slightly, there was still a smile on his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Isn't it okay?" Your white stall owner runs a gambling house, and what you owe is silver, and it is not a deed of sale, I have brought all my things, what else are you going to do? ”

"I owe it for so long, don't give an explanation? It's not for the sake of the Chen family's face, the interest in these few days alone is more than ten taels! Bai Qing will finally find a feeling, the feeling of being in power, life and death is coming, looking at Chen Zhi condescendingly, his temper is calm.

"It's you who should be the one who should be in charge," Chen Zhi responded unhurriedly, "The evidence in black and white can be violated, who would dare to believe your words?" I won't say anything about it now, but give you the money, and you let me go, and you and I will pay off the money and debts, if not......"

Bai Qing sneered: "Money and debts? Joke, my debt and yours are not just a matter of silver, how can this matter of interest be calculated? You don't have to talk to me about Han Law, I don't listen to these, it's a big deal to find the Chen family, I heard that you still have a few acres of land in your family......"

Show one’s true colors in the end.

Chen Zhi squinted slightly, and said: "It seems that the white stall master asked me to repay the debt is fake, and it is true that he wants to use me to establish authority, you are trying to show your authority?" Tell Pengcheng? Provoking the family? Okay, let's draw a line. ”

These words are heart-wrenching, and as soon as they are spoken, the lobby is silent.

The rest of the stall owners, you look at me, I look at you, it's not easy to interject, but I can't help but be afraid in my heart, I feel that this famous absurd man is really taboo-free, and he dares to say anything.

"What a sharp tooth!" Bai Qing's face was pale, and his liver was full of fire, "But you can't be saved by mouth, today is just the beginning, I heard that you have some skills in calligraphy, so leave me a picture first, otherwise you don't have to think about paying back, don't think about going out tonight......"

This is clearly an insult to Chen.

How well do you write? Okay, then honestly leave a word for me, and I'll settle the matter of interest and gambling debts with you.

Bai Qing obviously didn't understand how good Chen Zhi's handwriting was, otherwise how could he, a local tyrant who was eager to improve his political status, treat a calligrapher like this?

Treating artists well has always been one of the shortcuts to fame!

"Hey, hey, hey......" There was laughter from the lobby, and I saw Chen Asan walking over slowly, holding a bright short knife in his hand, "Young Master Chen, we met again, this time I want to see what else you have to say, and you want to scare me with that set of Chinese laws?" It doesn't work! If you don't follow the words of Master Bai, don't blame the sword for having no eyes! Today is your trespass in Qingyuanzhuang, and no one pays attention to the official, hahaha! ”

He was speechless, fearless, and felt a bad breath - he was scolded by Chen Zhi in front of so many people during the day, how could Chen Asan think about it.

Chen Zhi shook his head, pointed to the short knife, and said: "The texture of your short blade is not good, although you use the frying steel method, it is not transparent, the carburizing is uneven, it is a defective product, the handle is too long, wrapped in cloth, the handle is black, there is a fishy smell, it should be the blood stains of livestock, repeatedly infected, dried up many times, and the blade is missing into a tooth, it is from the butcher's stall, right?" It's a shame to swagger with the stolen things. ”

Chen Asan's face suddenly turned red, although he is a scoundrel, he usually doesn't want to be faceless, but in front of so many stall owners, he was told to break the ugly thing, where to put this face, and he was angry and angry, so he had to step forward and do it.

Many stall owners were also surprised, surprised that Chen Zhi was just a face, and he could see so much.

"Stop!" Bai Qing stopped Chen Asan, and then looked at Chen Zhi in disbelief, "Chen Gongzi has good eyesight, Bai Mou underestimated you, I didn't expect you to have the ability to trace back to the source!" ”

Chen Zhi didn't answer, restrained his smile, and said coldly: "Bai Master, don't you need to say so much, don't you want words?" Chen will write one for you! ”
