Chapter 279 boiled one after another

Hou Xiaofeng didn't want money, not because he didn't need money, but because Lin Mingde's money was not enough to pay off the bill. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He knew very well in his heart that even if he could come up with five hundred taels of silver now, those people might not be able to let him go.

Give them one hundred and thirty taels, and they will ask you for five hundred taels, and if you give them five hundred taels, they will be able to ask you for one thousand taels.

Hou Xiaofeng's biggest worry now is not whether the store can be saved, what he is worried about is whether they can really let him go even if he gives the store to them.

Yesterday, Zhou Ning framed the couplet with him and gave him dozens of taels of silver, plus the fan that Zhou Ning painted for him, he really felt that there was hope to be able to jump out of the fire pit.

Today, when those people went and returned, they opened their mouths and asked him for five hundred taels of silver, and he suddenly understood that the root cause of his suffering for so many years was not that he owed money to others, but that people had taken a fancy to his shop.

The greed in the depths of the human heart is terrifying, and the desire is insatiable. The pit of hope is deeper than the sea, and it is really not enough to fill it.

Getting involved with these brutal and unreasonable robbers may be their own fate, they are like a sheep about to die, they are like fierce tigers and wolves.

The flesh and skin were fed to them, for fear that they would bite his bones. Hou Xiaofeng didn't know what evil he had done in his previous life, and he was bullied by them like this in this life.

"Huh?" Lin Mingde was very surprised, he couldn't see that Hou Xiaofeng was quite backbone, and he didn't need someone to pay off his debts for him.

Lin Mingde's eyes slowly moved to Zhou Ning's face, Zhou Ning's face was indifferent, it seemed that Zhou Ning had helped him, otherwise how could he refuse his kindness?

Lin Mingde secretly praised Zhou Ning in his heart, he was very upright as an official at a young age, and he was also very upright, and he was kind in his bones.

"I, I" Hou Xiaofeng was so nervous that he couldn't speak, he raised his head in a panic and looked at Zhou Ning. Zhou Ning didn't know what he meant, so he said, "Tell the truth." ”

Zhou Ning framed the couplet with him yesterday and gave him an income of dozens of taels of silver, and the fan that Zhou Ning painted for him was confident that he could sell it, and it shouldn't be difficult to get enough for one hundred and thirty taels.

There's nothing that can't be said, Zhou Ning is not afraid of losing face, isn't it just painting a fan for money? Whoever loves to laugh is ashamed, Zhou Ning doesn't think there is anything here, painting a fan is also labor, why can't you ask for money if you contribute? Why is it insulting?

Isn't it just that the couplet given to Xiang Ye is only a few dozen taels of silver? Whoever loves criticism will be criticized, and he didn't plan to take the opportunity to bribe. Birthday celebration is to express a heart, and the gift is just exchanged. If you laugh at me for being poor, it doesn't mean that I'm really poor, and if you laugh at me for not understanding human feelings, it doesn't mean that I really don't understand.

Zhou Ning's simple four words 'tell the truth' gave Hou Xiaofeng a lot of strength, Hou Xiaofeng quietly took a deep breath, adjusted his nervous mood and began to tell the truth.

"I have scraped together enough 130 taels of silver today, and they say that I owe the owner 500 taels of silver, and they have smashed my shop without saying anything."

Hou Xiaofeng remembered their vicious appearance, and now he still had a sense of aftershock. "I was really cornered by them, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come to Xiangye's mansion to redress my grievances, and ask Xiangye to make decisions for me."

Lin Mingde was stunned by what he said, what is the situation? It is not surprising that he has scraped together enough one hundred and thirty taels of silver, Lin Mingde guessed that Zhou Ning probably took the money for him, maybe it was given to him or it was borrowed from him, and he would never ask for his interest.

How could a debt of one hundred and thirty taels suddenly become five hundred taels? Debt collection must be based on evidence, can it be counted without an IOU?

The store was smashed in the blue sky and daylight? That's too much, isn't it? Don't you have any royal law in your eyes?

"They say you owe five hundred taels, and you admit it? They smashed your store, why didn't you report it? Lin Mingde said that he remembered that there was no yamen in the capital who ignored the people's words now, and he came here to sue.

"Which month do they not smash five, seven or six times? Only this time there was no grabbing. "Hou Xiaofeng's shop is really nothing, there is nothing to grab, of course, if it weren't for the three princes, they wouldn't have left empty-handed if they grabbed the fan.

Hou Xiaofeng didn't dare to say the Third Highness, and he tried not to say anything about it. What kind of character is Lin Mingde? Can he hide it if he wants to?

The so-called easy to change the temperament is difficult to change, why did the people who were predators suddenly change their sex?

"Since you're used to robbing, why didn't you rob this time?" Lin Mingde stared at Hou Xiaofeng fixedly, Hou Xiaofeng turned his head to look at the third prince, he didn't know what to say.

Zhou Ning's heart was also shocked, his store was smashed? In the morning, Lu Qing also said that those people had been there, and they didn't bother him.

How did he get involved with the three princes? What happened in just half a day?

The third prince turned his fist casually, and said lightly: "I didn't have time to rob it, because they were all beaten away by me." ”

The third prince said that the entire East Flower Hall suddenly boiled, and it immediately boiled. This is incredible, the third prince came out and fought with someone for that person?

"What? Prince Jin couldn't hold the fight and moved his fist? ”

"Presumably it was the Jinyi Guard who beat people away."

"His Royal Highness's martial arts are outstanding, maybe he really did it himself."

“……”

The third prince didn't have any scruples, and he told the ins and outs of the matter. The East Flower Hall, which had just boiled once, was boiling again.

The last boiling point was that the third prince actually fought with someone for the little shopkeeper of the fan shop, which is really unbelievable.

This time there are more boiling points, some people are surprised how the fan painted by Zhou Ning was sold at a sky-high price, some people are surprised that the third prince wants to buy the fan painted by Zhou Ning at a high price, and some people wonder how the third highness beat away a group of people by himself?

Lin Mingde was also thundered, this Zhou Ning helped people paint fans and taught people to sell fans, and really succeeded in selling them at a high price, it seems that he is not only good at judging cases, but also can't make mistakes in business.

No one can be sure of the ups and downs of the sea, and anyone who is an official lives a precarious life. It is difficult to say that a high position must be tilted, whether it is honest and honest, whether it is corruption or corruption, they are all the same trembling and trembling like walking on thin ice.

The vast majority of officials are scholars, and they can't pick up their shoulders or hands, and the so-called useless ones are scholars.

The most feared thing about being an official is to dismiss an official, once he is dismissed, he doesn't even know how to live, and he can't even support himself without a skill.

Even if someone like Zhou Ning is dismissed, don't worry about him, he has a way to make himself live well.
