"Young master, I found out, Master Liu was plotted against when he was doing a jewelry deal, and he lost all his money, so the creditor sued the yamen last month and took away all the Liu family's property, including the house."

Soon after returning to the Li family's mansion, Rou'er inquired about what happened to the Liu family, after all, the affairs of the Liu family are not a secret in Baihe Town.

"Master Liu has been up and down in the business sea for more than 30 years, how could such a thing happen!" Li Hongyu's brows furrowed, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, feeling that things were too unexpected.

Liu Youcai, who was just a small helper in a jewelry shop in Baihe Town 30 years ago, later quit his job and followed people to the south, and when he came back more than ten years later, he had become a famous jeweler in Baihe Town, which can be called an inspirational model for the people of Baihe Town.

Li Hongyu believes that an old fritter like Liu Youcai, who has been in business for decades, has extremely rich social experience, and he will not be deceived easily, and there must be some unknown privacy in it.

"Young master, according to rumors, it was a friend of his former business who plotted against Master Liu, and he used fake jewelry to defraud Master Liu of a large sum of money."

Rou'er didn't know exactly what happened to Liu Youcai, and after a while, she said, "In order to complete this business, Master Liu not only gave the property to others, but also received a part of the deposit in advance, and as a result, as soon as the business went wrong, the creditor came to the door." ”

"Where do they live now?" Li Hongyu's brows furrowed, he didn't expect Liu Dongfu's luck to be so bad and encounter such an unlucky thing.

"A relative's house in town." Rou'er hesitated for a moment when she heard this and said, "It doesn't seem to be doing well." ”

"People are warm and cold, the world is hot and cold!"

Li Hongyu couldn't help but smile, he was not surprised by this, don't look at Liu Dongfu usually follows many people in the town to call him brothers, but now that his family is in trouble, I am afraid that those people will avoid it, this kind of wine and meat friends can obviously only share the joys and sorrows.

"You go and prepare, let's go see Liu Dongfu after dark, no matter what, he once blocked the wine for me, if you can, you can help him." Then, Li Hongyu said to Rou'er in a deep voice.

Although Liu Dongfu had ridiculed him before, he was just addicted to it and did not put it into action, after all, Li Hongyu was in a worrying situation at that time, and it was not surprising that he was ridiculed by others.

Because of his introverted personality, Li Hongyu has no friends in Baihe Town, so Liu Dongfu, who once blocked him from drinking, can barely be counted as half.

In this case, Li Hongyu naturally can't see death without help, he must reach out and pull Liu Dongfu a hand, Liu Dongfu's nature is not bad, and the two have been classmates for many years, they can be said to know the roots, and in Li Hongyu's opinion, it is worth befriending.

After nightfall, Li Hongyu did not stay at home to accompany Zhao to dinner, but took a car to meet Liu Dongfu.

The Zhao family naturally knew what happened to the Liu family, so it didn't stop Li Hongyu from saying that Liu Dongfu was also Li Hongyu's classmate, and she was very relieved that Li Hongyu could visit the Liu family at this time, which meant that Li Hongyu was not the kind of person who was unkind.

Liu Dongfu now lives in his cousin's house, on the west side of Baihe Town, in a magnificent-looking courtyard house.

The relatives of the Liu family were originally farming in the countryside, and after Liu Youcai became rich, those relatives followed a lot by the way, and this courtyard house was bought by Liu Youcai and given to his cousin.

Speaking of which, the Liu family has been passed down for two generations since Liu Youcai's generation, so Liu Youcai attaches great importance to the kinship with the family brothers, after all, the local competition is the clan power, so he tries to help the people in the family as much as possible.

"Say, when are you going to let them leave, this big family lives in to eat and drink, and to serve those who collect debts, this kind of life doesn't want to go on."

After arriving at the courtyard, Li Hongyu got out of the car and just walked to the courtyard gate, when he heard a burst of fist-slashing shouts coming from the empty courtyard gate, as if someone was drinking, and then a woman's spicy voice sounded.

"Daughter-in-law, be quiet, our family can have a cousin who relies on everything today, if it weren't for the cousin, we would have such a big house to live in, and we could afford to open that tavern." Then, a man's nervous voice came, as if to persuade the previous woman.

"We didn't do anything unseemly, why should we be quiet!" Hearing this, the woman couldn't help but raise her voice, "It's not that our family has benefited, why have you lived in our house for more than a month, and you can't let people live." ”

"My aunt, don't say it, no matter how you say it, my cousin has helped us so much, and our family is in trouble now, we can help a little." At this time, the man seemed to cover the woman's mouth and did not let her continue, otherwise there might be something unpleasant to say later.

Li Hongyu shook his head, pushed the door and walked in, only to see two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, standing in the courtyard, the man was covering the woman's mouth, it seemed that they were the ones who spoke just now.

Moreover, Li Hongyu also determined the origin of those fist shouts, and saw a wine table in the living room of the main house, and several big men were pushing glasses around the wine table to change glasses, drinking happily.

"Case Chief Lee!" After seeing Li Hongyu who came in, the man was stunned for a moment, and then quickly let go of the hand covering the woman's mouth, and greeted him with a smile on his face, "The head of the Li case is here, I don't know what happened." ”

When Li Hongyu and the others returned to the town, it was empty, and all the people in the town came out to greet them, so the man knew Li Hongyu.

"I'll come and see Brother Dongfu." Li Hongyu waved his hand to the subordinate who was carrying the gift box behind him, looked at the man with a smile and asked, "Brother Dongfu is there now?" ”

"In, in!" Hearing this, the man hurriedly shouted at the West House in the courtyard, "Dongfu, Case Chief Li sees that you are here." ”

"Li Hongyu?" Hearing the man's shout, Liu Dongfu walked out of the house quickly, and when he saw Li Hongyu, he was stunned, looking at him in disbelief, he didn't expect Li Hongyu to come at all.

"Who are those?" Li Hongyu was very satisfied with Liu Dongfu's reaction at this time, smiled slightly, looked at the people who were drinking in the living room, and asked Liu Dongfu quietly.

"Debt collector." Liu Dongfu's eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment when he heard this, and he said with a wry smile.

Although they lost all their property, the Liu family still owed a foreign debt, and the debt collectors naturally had to follow them so that they would not escape, and the man who was talking in the courtyard before, that is, Liu Dongfu's cousin, had to eat and drink to serve those creditors.

said that it was a creditor, but in fact, it was an underworld hired by the creditor to collect debts, and the people of the Liu family couldn't afford to provoke them at all.

"It's just too much." Li Hongyu's face turned cold when he heard this, and he walked to the living room.

"Brother Li, it's too noisy here, let's talk in another place." Liu Dongfu was stunned when he saw this, and hurriedly chased after him, he didn't want his affairs to involve Li Hongyu.

"Go back and tell those creditors that my son will be a guarantee, and the Liu family will return the potential to them with principal and interest in two years, and don't disturb the life of the Liu family before that." Li Hongyu ignored Liu Dongfu, strode into the living room, and said to the drinking men.

"Two years? Which green onion are you, and what kind of guarantee do you have? The big men were already a little drunk, and one of them glanced at Li Hongyu and said with disdain, "Do you know how much foreign debt the Liu family owes?" If you can't pay it then, you will bear this debt? ”

"Shut up!" As soon as the big man's words fell, another big man stopped him, then stood up and said to Li Hongyu with a smile on his face, "It turned out that the head of the case Li said it, then I will go back and tell those creditors later." ”

Saying that, the big man waved his hand, and led a few guys who were drinking to leave in a hurry, obviously he recognized Li Hongyu, the Li family is the leader of Baihe Town, how dare they provoke Li Hongyu, who is now in the limelight.

"Brother Li, I understand your intentions, to be honest, our Liu family owes too many foreign debts, and we can't pay them back in two years anyway."

After the big men left, Liu Dongfu arched his hand to Li Hongyu, and said with a gloomy face, he was born and has only spent money and has never earned money, so he is unable to repay such a large debt.

"Brother Liu, how can you know if you can't do it if you don't try?" Seeing that Liu Dongfu had no fighting spirit, Li Hongyu smiled and said, "Now that Master Liu is sick in bed, who else in your family can count on him besides you?" ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Li, I used to patronize eating, drinking and having fun, and I have never been in contact with business matters, and now I am penniless, and I can't make so much money without eating or drinking in two years." Liu Dongfu knew what Li Hongyu meant, and replied with a wry smile, he really couldn't see the slightest hope of turning over.

"There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!" Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, looked at Liu Dongfu and said, "Brother Liu, have you heard of Ji Tailai, Brother Liu's luck has been extremely bad, then God will naturally give you a chance to turn over, if Brother Liu doesn't seize it, then no one can help you." ”

"What the head of the case Li said is right!"

At this time, a voice sounded from outside the door, and I saw a sick middle-aged man walking over by a middle-aged woman and a maid ring, panting and saying to Liu Dongfu, "Instead of sitting still, it's better to give it a go, so that there can be a way out." ”

"Dad, I have neither capital nor connections, how can I make so much money in two years." Liu Dongfu's face showed a depressed look, and he looked at the middle-aged man helplessly and said, this middle-aged man is Liu Youcai.

"Brother Liu, it's man-made, how do you know if you don't try?" Li Hongyu groaned for a moment when he heard this, looked at Liu Dongfu quietly and asked, "If I remember correctly, Brother Liu is a prisoner, why not take advantage of this township test to visit Wuchang City, maybe there will be an accident." ”

"Wuchang City?" Liu Dongfu was stunned when he heard this, if Liu Youcai hadn't had an accident, he would definitely have joined in the fun, but now that there is such a big thing at home, where does he still have the heart to go to Wuchang City.

"Brother Liu, don't worry about home, our Li family has a grocery store in the town, the front sells goods and the back lives there, there are ready-made guys in it, if Uncle Liu doesn't think that place is crowded and shabby, you can rent it, and the rent can be settled for half a year."

Li Hongyu knew that Liu Dongfu was upset now, so he arched his hand to him and said, "Brother Liu, tomorrow we will leave for Wuchang City, and I hope that Brother Liu will pack up and salute, don't miss the time to sail." ”

As he spoke, Li Hongyu arched his hand to Liu Youcai again, and led Rou'er and the others to stride away.

"Dongfu, you have met a nobleman, Case Chief Li has already arranged everything at home, you will follow him to Wuchang City, Dad will not be mistaken, Case Chief Li is a benevolent and righteous person, you will definitely not suffer in the future if you follow him."

At the gate of the courtyard, watching Li Hongyu's carriage disappear around the corner of the street, Liu Youcai instructed Liu Dongfu beside him earnestly.

With that grocery store, they not only have a place to settle down, no longer have to send people under the fence, but also have a livelihood, as far as he knows, the Li family's grocery store is doing very well.

In this way, they can be regarded as self-reliant, at least they live more at ease, and the taste of being under the fence is really uncomfortable.

"Hmm!" Liu Dongfu nodded with a complicated expression, his heart was mixed, he never imagined that the person who would lend him a helping hand in times of crisis would be Li Hongyu, and he felt embarrassed when he remembered the ridicule of Li Hongyu before.

Moreover, Liu Dongfu felt that the imposing Li Hongyu who appeared in front of him tonight made him feel extremely strange, and there was a world of difference from the cowardly and cowardly person who was bullied before, and they were completely different people.
