Li Feibai put down his wine glass and said, "My two shops can't live in them after they are converted into banks, and I bother my brother to find me a courtyard." ”

Ma Kun also said what was the matter, it turned out that it was just a trivial matter such as looking for a house, and said with a smile: "Brother Feibai is also a rich man now, and the courtyard to be bought this time must be small!" ”

Li Feibai said with a smile: "Originally, there was a Hou Yanmin, and it was already a lot of inconvenience for the two of them to live in a small house, but now there is another Tang Zilan, who is a beautiful lady, and the layout of the courtyard cannot be too small, otherwise it will not be able to enter the eyes of others." ”

Ma Kun smiled playfully and said, "I will definitely help you find it carefully in the next few days." ”

Li Feibai knew why Ma Kun was laughing like that, and he must have thought about what would happen to him and Tang Zilan. As long as he is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and doesn't care what others think, he doesn't explain, points to the window, and says: "Behind Tianxiang Building, there is a large vacant land, and there are several dilapidated courtyards, which add up to hundreds of acres, I don't know which industry's property it is." ”

Ma Kun let out an "oh" and said, "Brother Feibai is also interested in these?" ”

Li Feibai said: "Since I bought Tianxianglou, I wanted to make Tianxianglou bigger and stronger, and turn it from a small restaurant that only cooks into a big restaurant for catering and accommodation. So, I wanted to buy that vacant lot and those dilapidated courtyard houses. ”

Ma Kun said: "Okay, I'll also help you inquire." ”

Li Feibai said: "Let Brother Ma bother!" ”

Ma Kun said: "Why should our brothers be so polite. ”

The two drank two more glasses of wine, Ma Kun thought that Li Feibai asked him to stay for these two things, but Li Feibai said again: "Is that Deng Bao still locked up in prison?" ”

Ma Kun blamed Deng Bao for leaving him alone to reap the benefits, and he was angry, so he couldn't wait for Deng Bao to be unlucky. But later, when I remembered the love between the two brothers, especially the fact that Deng Bao had saved his life, I couldn't bear to see Deng Bao unlucky.

There were many times when he wanted to intercede for Deng Bao and let Li Fei spare Deng Bao for nothing. However, when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't open his mouth.

After all, in order to collect taxes, Deng Bao almost ruined Li Feibai's family, and with such a big feud, how could Li Feibai give up easily. Therefore, he dragged this matter down, thinking that after some time, Li Feibai would forget the grievances between the two, and then move it with affection and reason, so that Li Feibai would spare Deng Bao for a while.

It's only been a long time now, how can Li Feibai forget the grievances between the two, it's definitely not the time to intercede for Deng Bao. But since Li Feibai mentioned it, he had no choice but to plead and say:

"Deng Bao and I have been brothers for decades, and we know him very well. In fact, his nature is not bad, but his brain is a bit of an axis, so he will force Brother Bai's family to pay taxes with his conscience, all because of his bullshit hobby! ”

Li Feibai said: "So he is not acting out of nature, but for another reason?" ”

Ma Kun sighed and said, "If people don't go crazy, they can't live!" When Deng Bao was a child, he once saw soldiers fighting guns, and he was deeply impressed by the power of guns. For this reason, he once infiltrated the barracks, stole the gun home to study, and accidentally caught fire, accidentally injuring a neighbor's life. Can weapons be stolen at will? Murder is a capital crime, if it were not for his young age, and his parents sold their property to go around, so that his life would have been spared, otherwise the hug of the tree at the head of the grave would be thick.

"He didn't have money to buy guns, so he made them himself. There was no money to buy gunpowder, so he made it himself. In order to make gunpowder, my family has been burned many times, and on several occasions I even almost confessed to myself, my wife and children. If he has money, he buys things to make gunpowder, and the things at home are often burned, even the gold and silver mountains are not enough for him to make this, so he has been poor and can't eat meat twice a year.

"We often persuade him to stop tinkering with these losers, and it's better to live a small life in peace. He laughed at our birds, and they knew the ambition of Honghao. It turned out that he had always had an idea to create the best gun in the world, so that he could dedicate it to the Ordnance Bureau, and then it would be impossible to get promoted and make a fortune. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Feibai, tell me, is he a fool's dream?" The firecrackers were all made by the officials of the Ordnance Bureau, and these people were all stars in the sky, so they created the powerful firecrackers, how could a small person like him make them? ”

Li Feibai smiled and said silently, "What happened later? ”

Ma Kun said: "No matter how hard we tried to persuade him, he ignored it. Even if you promise not to make guns in person, it is still a violation of yang and yin, and you will continue to recreate it behind your back. So, we gave him a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and there was no money to borrow, and there was no fat difference who could get money, so that he would lose his heart to make a gun. Unexpectedly, he did a bad thing with good intentions, so he made a desperate bet, sold his property, and got a job collecting taxes, so that he could earn hundreds or thousands of taels of silver and continue his dream of making guns. Who knew that the oppression of the people was squeezed on your brother's head, and he was sent to prison instead. ”

He looked at Li Feibai's face, saw that Li Feibai was smiling, and seemed to be in a good mood, and then said: "Brother Feibai, you seem to be a product like him with a lack of brains, do you spare him?" ”

Li Feibai said: "Then let him go!" ”

Since ancient times, it has been the people who do not sue the officials and do not hold them accountable. Deng Bao forcibly collected taxes, and no one came to the yamen to complain, so Ma Kun did not give a complaint to the county order, but temporarily detained Deng Bao in prison, trying to find an opportunity to let Li Feibai no longer pursue Deng Bao, and then the big thing can be turned into a small matter.

He estimated that with the feud between Li Feibai and Deng Bao, he had to persuade Li Feibai repeatedly, and after several twists and turns, Li Feibai agreed not to pursue the matter anymore.

Why is Li Feibai so happy, not to give him face? Otherwise, how could he rely on a few simple words from him to no longer pursue Deng Bao.

When Ma Kun thought of this, he was very grateful to Li Feibai, and arched his hand and said: "Brother Feibai is so generous, he has nothing to say when he is a brother." Da En is not grateful, I will let Deng Bao personally come to the door to take the blame another day. ”

Li Feibai said: "No! After a pause, he said, "I don't know where Deng Bao's family lives?" Tomorrow morning, I want to visit! ”

Ma Kun suddenly felt that something was wrong, and felt that Li Fei had something in the vernacular.

Deng Bao bullied the weak and almost forced Li Feibai's parents to death, and even Li Feibai was almost killed by Deng Baoquan, is there a gift for not repaying this kind of big hatred? Comparing his heart to his heart, he will not let Deng Bao go easily. Therefore, Li Feibai must be blaming him for dragging this case along. Because of his face, Li Feibai couldn't do business, so he thought about business?

What's going on with business? With Li Feibai's identity as a friend today, not to mention that Deng Bao's identity as a servant is now lost, even if he doesn't lose it, there are countless ways to ruin Deng Bao's family.

But Li Feibai asked about Deng Bao's address, and he couldn't help but say it, so he had to tell Deng Bao's address. Thinking of asking for two more words of love for Deng Bao, Li Feibai had already gotten up, and he had no choice but to get up.

Li Feibai said: "It's not early!" Brother Ma will work hard again, go to the prison and let Deng Bao go home! ”

Ma Kun had no choice but to agree, sent Li Feibai out of Tianxiang Building, turned around and said, "Shopkeeper Yuan, settle accounts!" ”

Yuan Guigui was feeling sorry for himself in the kitchen, touching and touching around, and sighed that Tianxianglou would not be his own from now on. Hearing the shout, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I will invite you for this meal, how dare you accept the money?" After a pause, he said: "When Master Li leaves, will there be any explanation, will Tianxiang Building be open tomorrow?" ”

Ma Kun knew what Yuan Guigui meant, ostensibly asking if Tianxianglou was still open, but in fact, he was asking him if the matter of the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou had been decided. He was worried about Deng Bao's affairs in his heart, how could he have the heart of leisure sentiment, and said: "Tianxiang Building is about to be demolished, what else to open!" ”
