Chapter 050: The East Window Incident (I)
Li Wencai lied to his future father-in-law of three hundred taels of silver, and he was very happy, this money is not a small amount, he is now about to expand his business, and he wants to annex Yi Xiangli, but he needs a lot of money, and he can pit a little.
I don't know how the shopkeeper Mo is doing now, anyway, when he woke up, the daylily was cold, so Li Wencai walked quickly towards Dengxian Tower, and pondered how to tell the shopkeeper Mo about it when the time came.
Shopkeeper Mo actually woke up a long time ago, and woke up more than once, every time when he opened his eyes and sat up, he felt a gust of wind in the back of his head, and then a big wooden stick smashed on the back of his head, his eyes were black and fainted, turned over and over several times, Mo's head was knocked as a wooden fish, and later, Shopkeeper Mo woke up but didn't dare to move, closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious, the situation was quite miserable.
Young Master Jia is very serious, holding the wooden stick in his hand tightly, to be honest, he is really a little unbearable, there are already several swollen bags on the head of the shopkeeper, and he can't bear to fight anymore, he just hopes that Li Wencai will come back soon.
Just when the two people in the room were tormenting each other, the door creaked, and Li Wencai poked his head to look in, and at this time, the two people in the room shouted as if they saw a savior: "You are back." ”
Young Master Jia threw away the big wooden stick and said as if he had been reborn: "Brother Cai, you are back, and I have conscientiously carried out everything you told me to do." ”
Li Wencai glanced at Shopkeeper Mo and asked suspiciously, "Dare to ask who this brother is?" ”
"I ...... It's me, I'm the shopkeeper. Shopkeeper Mo pointed at himself, his nostrils were still bleeding, and there were several swollen bags on his head, and it was difficult to identify the shopkeeper Mo who looked like this.
Li Wencai howled sadly: "Oh, you are the shopkeeper Mo, why were you beaten so badly, I rushed back to tell you unfortunate news." ”
"What's the news, don't scare me." Shopkeeper Mo looked at Li Wencai's appearance, as if he was crying and mourning, and suddenly felt that something bad had happened in his heart.
"Shopkeeper Mo is going to the county government today to sue Liu Yuanwai for the case of defrauding the grain store?"
"yes, what time is it, I'm going to go out." When Shopkeeper Mo heard Li Wencai say this, he became anxious in his heart, thinking about not delaying the big event.
Li Wencai grabbed the shopkeeper Mo, sighed and said: "The shopkeeper Mo is going to hit the muzzle of the gun now, just now I heard that the yamen was very lively, so I went over to take a look, did you not see the cannibalistic appearance of Liu Ruhai of the county magistrate at that time, because the shopkeeper Mo did not go to the yatang to try the case for no reason, even if this case gave up the opportunity to sue Liu Yuanwai, and the magistrate Liu Ruhai thought that you were deliberately playing with him, and was about to let the magistrate arrest you and go back to play dozens of boards." ”
When Shopkeeper Mo heard this, his legs were weak, and the whole person squatted on the ground like mud, it was all over, this matter was messed up by himself, how to talk back to Master Jia, I had promised Master Jia before, who would have thought that things would have come to this.
Li Wencai looked at the shopkeeper Mo crying sadly, so he touched it in his arms for a long time, and finally reluctantly took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper Mo and said: "This is the compensation that Liu Yuanwai asked me to give you. ”
Shopkeeper Mo took the ten taels of silver, his brows furrowed, as if he thought of something, he jumped up from the ground and shouted, "Which bastard was hiding behind me just now?" ”
Li Wencai and Young Master Jia glanced at each other, and said blankly: "It's really hateful that someone sneaked up on Shopkeeper Mo. ”
Young Master Jia couldn't get over his conscience, so he still took the initiative to stand up and said: "Don't worry, shopkeeper Mo, I have promised my father, this matter is up to me, you can go back, I will go back and explain to my father." ”
Shopkeeper Mo nodded, since this is the case, this matter is not his own business, so Shopkeeper Mo arched his hand to Young Master Jia and Li Wencai and left quickly, since he drank with these two people yesterday, strange things have happened one after another, and Shopkeeper Mo feels that it is better to leave quickly.
Watching Shopkeeper Mo leave in a huff, Li Wencai finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this matter was finally done perfectly, and the whole thing was a classic example of stealing beams and changing pillars.
"Shopkeeper Mo was really beaten like that by you?" Li Wencai asked Young Master Jia with some disbelieving.
Young Master Jia nodded and said: "Who else can there be but me, I will squat under the bedside and watch the shopkeeper Mo, as soon as he wakes up, I will knock him out with a stick, and I have been beaten several times, and even I can't do it." ”
Li Wencai glanced at Young Master Jia meaningfully, then stretched out his thumb and said, "It's really awesome, let's go back to Jiafu now." ”
"That's not right, Brother Cai, what did you say about Liuyuan's affairs?" Young Master Jia came out with Li Wencai to do errands, but he just knocked people with a stick, and he didn't do anything else.
"Didn't you see it, Shopkeeper Mo was drunk and didn't go to court, so he smashed this matter, it's not your responsibility at all, just tell your father the truth when you go back." Li Wencai and Young Master Jia went out, and the two of them said a word as they walked.
Young Master Jia scratched his head in distress, always feeling that something was wrong in his heart, like why did he use a stick to knock out Shopkeeper Mo.
Entering the gate of Jia's mansion, Li Wencai showed a triumphant return, his hands on his waist, and swaggered towards the front hall of Master Jia, while Young Master Jia next to him lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, no matter what, this matter failed, and he didn't know how his father would punish him.
"I said, young master, you look like a soldier who has suffered a defeat, the responsibility is not ours, you have to hold your head high, raise your legs and stride, that's it." Li Wencai taught Young Master Jia, and the two of them had a triumphant smile on their faces, striding forward with great momentum.
As a result, when the two people were walking hard, a yellow-haired dog suddenly ran out in front, and after the two people saw the yellow-haired dog, they immediately looked like wilted cucumbers and couldn't stand up. This dog is Mr. Jia's pet dog, Rhubarb.
Rhubarb seemed to have been waiting for the two real criminals to come back, standing in front of the two of them blocking the way, and his eyes were quite unkind.
"Rhubarb, what are you doing, we are good comrades-in-arms who are blessed and share difficulties, you can't rebel." Li Wencai saw Rhubarb like this, revealing the cute appearance that everyone loves, and made a grimace at Rhubarb.
When Rhubarb saw Li Wencai's appearance, he was even more unhappy, his lips rolled over, his sharp canine teeth were exposed, and he let out a whining roar.
"What, rhubarb, we've got one more step ahead." When the two of them saw that this rhubarb was crazy, they hated themselves so much, so they should flash first.
Seeing that the two real murderers were about to run, where did Rhubarb agree, and there was a burst of screams behind the two people, which attracted a lot of people, Li Wencai and Young Master Jia sweated like rain, could this rhubarb be said to have taken aphrodisiacs, so crazy to vent.
"Young Master Jia, the master asked you and Li Wencai to go to the front hall, I have something to say." Manager Wang appeared behind the two of them, with a straight face and no expression could be seen.
"It's over, it's really over, rhubarb, this beast is very human, and eighty percent told my father about the two of us stealing canaries." Young Master Jia was so frightened that he leaned over to Li Wencai's side and whispered.
Li Wencai's face changed greatly, and then he saw that the rhubarb bit more fiercely, and said with a complicated look: "Don't say it so mysteriously, I've seen a dog who understands people, but I really haven't seen a dog that can talk." ”
"I don't mean this, Rhubarb is estimated to have been beaten by his father, so he complained about the two of us in his heart, so he kept biting us."
"I'll see your dad in a while, look at my eyes and act on my feet, and act on the fly."
"Okay."
After the two of them discussed, they walked into the front hall, and at this time, they saw that Master Jia's face was as dark as a rainy day, so Li Wencai and Young Master Jia were nervous, knowing that something was wrong.
"How's it going?" Master Jia asked in a deep voice.
"Back to ...... Back to my father, this matter has been nine out of ten, who knows what is going on with this Mo shopkeeper, he actually overslept, and the case of the grain store was not tried, so this case was not resolved, and the child was also very angry. ”
"Yes, master, yesterday the shopkeeper met an old acquaintance, and when he was happy, he drank too much, and we couldn't stop it." Speaking of this, Li Wencai let out a long sigh: "Hey, it's all because we didn't take good care of the shopkeeper Mo, and as a result, even we drank too much, and we made a mistake after drinking, and we made a mistake after drinking." ”
Li Wencai was heartbroken, extremely ashamed, and his appearance of admitting his mistake was quite sincere.
"You two don't take the old man for a fool, there must be fraud in this matter, I will investigate it carefully." Old Man Jia roared angrily, but he didn't believe what the two people said, these two people stayed together and acted in an embarrassed way, and they had never seen them do anything good.
Master Jia paused for a moment, and then said: "Yesterday, the housekeeper found that a few canaries in the garden were missing, and as a result, he found a pile of bird feathers and a pile of ashes next to the rockery. ”
Li Wencai and Young Master Jia glanced at each other, and then screamed in unison: "There is such a thing, who is so bold that even the canaries in the mansion are stealing." ”
"Pretend, then pretend, the butler will go and get the torture instruments." Master Jia was impatient, and asked the housekeeper to get the torture tools, in the ancient great family, it was a normal thing to lynch his subordinates.
Li Wencai and Young Master Jia trembled, their faces turned pale with fright, and the incident of stealing canaries had happened, how could it be good now. At the gate of the front hall, Rhubarb squatted at the door, squinting his eyes, wagging his tail, and looking at everything in front of him with great enjoyment.
