He Gui shook his head with a smile and said with a smile: "You go home and ask Yu Guihua, how much money he lost in the 'Silver Hook Gambling House' that night half a month ago!" And then who will help him pay off the debt! ”

After Zeng Laojiu heard this, he couldn't help muttering: "No wonder I think that girl has become more well-behaved in the past two days, and even her fiery temper has improved a lot, what did I think at the time, it turned out that this stubble happened!" ”

Zeng Laojiu's heart began to think quickly, since this money is owed by Yu Guihua, of course he has to pay it back, but this 1500 taels of huge money, with his annual salary of 50 taels, it will take 30 years to pay it back, it is estimated that it is difficult to borrow it from Zhang Dehai, how should he pay it back?

Thinking of this, a frightened thought suddenly popped up in Zeng Laojiu's mind, suffered! It seems that my whereabouts in the past few days must have been monitored and tracked, and Yu Guihua must be the same, it seems that this Liu Gong must have been staring at himself for a long time.

However, looking at his actions and practices, there is no malice, nothing more than trying to force me to comply, and there is also the matter of redeeming Ren Hongmei, which itself is to befriend myself, if I don't obey them, then good things can be done to this point, and bad things can be done, I can't be careless.

But such a big deal to buy people's hearts will definitely not be something that can be repaid by a simple trivial matter.

Zeng Laojiu's face was very ugly, he walked to the chair on the side in a daze, sat down on it with his buttocks, and said weakly: "Say, what do you want me to do for you?" ”

Liu Jing saw that Zeng Laojiu was submissive, he walked to Zeng Laojiu's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask you about something!" ”

Zeng Laojiu raised his head, looked at Liu Jing in surprise, and said very puzzled: "What? Did I hear me right? One thing is worth 1500 taels? ”

Liu Jing replied with his hands behind his back: "Yes, just one thing, the value of this one thing is far more than this number, and when the matter is completed, I will give you another sum of money, which is enough for you to support your wife and this Miss Ren!" ”

Zeng Laojiu's heart began to pound, although he didn't know what Liu Jing was talking about, but he knew that this was definitely not a trivial matter, and this matter might even take his life.

Zeng Laojiu's lips moved slightly, he shook his head, and said with both body and mind: "Say, say, what do you want to ask, what do you want to inquire!" ”

Liu Jing didn't speak, he returned to his seat and glanced at He Gui.

It was He Gui's turn to get on the horse, and he said without hesitation: "Next month is the day when the Zhang family presents Zhang Wen's gift, and we want to get the specific date and route of the dedication!" ”

When Zeng Laojiu heard this, he was shocked like five thunderbolts, this matter is a top secret, if it is leaked out here, after Zhang Dehai knows about it in the future, won't it destroy his whole family?

This dilemma made Zeng Laojiu not respond for a long time, he is an open-minded and righteous person, although Zhang Dehai is notorious and does bad things, but he is still fair to him, let him betray Zhang Dehai, he still has some unbearable heart.

Liu Jing saw Zeng Laojiu's uncertain look and knew the entanglement in his heart, and at this moment he could only understand it with reason and affection, only in this way could he open the door of his heart.

So Liu Jing spoke: "The Zhang family father and son have dominated the house county for decades, which of the people in the house county does not feel deeply disgusted with him?" They all want to gnaw their bones, eat their flesh, drink their blood, and pump their tendons. You are also from a poor background, do you just watch the Zhang father and son have been riding on the heads of the common people?

How many poor people were forced by Zhang Dehai to have their families ruined and their wives separated? How many of the elderly, the young, the weak and the disabled are not cared for as a result? Is this still a small matter? Although you have said that you have been conscientious all these years, do you know that you are doing something for the tiger, and if you continue like this, it will be impossible for you to die well!

I know that you have read the book, you are a person who understands righteousness, you must be decisive in the face of major rights and wrongs, we are all for the people of the house county, you don't have to feel guilty about this matter! ”

Zeng Laojiu heard Liu Jing's words, his heart suddenly brightened a lot, he looked at Liu Jing excitedly, the muscles on his face kept twitching, suddenly he knelt down, sobbed: "Liu Gong is really a righteous person, I have been a man from the house county in vain, I have only known impartiality for so many years, but I have forgotten the teachings of the saint, I will definitely assist Liu Gong, you can rest assured, I will definitely assist you!" ”

Liu Jing hurriedly stood up, helped Zeng Laojiu up, and said approvingly: "This is what the eldest husband did, it's not early, you go back early, so as not to make others suspicious, Miss Ren Hongmei, I will take care of you first, and when the matter is done, I will let you continue him as a concubine." Don't tell anyone about our meeting, not even your wife, remember that things are done in secret, words are defeated, you know! ”

Zeng Laojiu held Liu Jing's hand tightly and said firmly: "Okay, you just wait for my news!" After speaking, he glanced at Ren Hongmei, and it just so happened that Ren Hongmei was also looking at Zeng Laojiu with approving eyes, Zeng Laojiu nodded at Ren Hongmei, and said goodbye to Liu Jing and left the 'Yuelai Inn'.

On the tenth day of October, the sky had just darkened, and a bright moon hung high in the dark sky.

At this moment, the courtyard of the Zhang family is already brightly lit, today is a special day for the Zhang family, and this is the only day this year is enough to attract the attention of the Zhang family and his son, because today is the day to give a big gift to Zhang Wenjin, the leader of the Zhang family.

Five carriages were parked in the courtyard, each filled with large heavy chests full of gold, silver and jewels.

Zhang Dehai stood beside Zhang Chonghui, his face was proud against the flickering lights, it seemed that the whole person was so energetic, he looked at the carriage and horse and said with confidence: "Dad, this dedication is the most in the past, it is three times as much as three years ago, we have gathered a lot of treasures while we are in chaos, and this time it can be used on the blade." This time, Zhang Wen received a gift from our family, and he had to propose a big official to his father! ”

Zhang Chonghui's originally smiling face was immediately tightened, and he reprimanded Zhang Dehai: "What kind of official? You don't understand! Do you know why Daddy came to this house? You don't know, you don't know much! ”

Zhang Dehai was stunned when he heard it, and he was very puzzled: "Dad, what are you talking about?" Who doesn't want to be a big official? How do you say I'm getting more and more confused? ”

Zhang Chonghui looked at Zhang Dehai and said disapprerovingly: "Do you think your father has no ability to come to this house first?" Confused? Hmph, you are wrong, Fang County is one of the largest counties in Jizhou, with a large population and rich places, and it is definitely a good place to be an official.

And the county official is the local soil emperor, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and he is not subject to the control of the above, so we can reap unlimited benefits without worrying about being punished, because the people above have long been too late to take care of it. Layer after layer, they still use the efforts of the people below us, without our human, material and financial help, it is difficult for them to do things, do you understand this truth? ”
