Chapter 177: Murder
Li Zhen helped the young man up, and the onlookers got out of the way.
Except for one or two who really care about the teenagers, the rest of the people are watching the play. The appearance of Li Zhen makes this play even more interesting. They regarded Li Zhen and the young man as followers, and slowly walked towards the county office. Li Zhen supported the young man, and while walking slowly, he asked softly, "Little brother, what is your name?" ”
The boy replied, "My name is Ye Chengxin, and I am a clerk at a grocery store. ”
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, and a person named Ye Chengxin in history suddenly appeared in his mind. However, Li Zhen did not reveal the thoughts in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Xiao Ye is from Cixi, Zhejiang, was he born in Zhenhai?" ”
The young man looked strange and said, "Uncle, how do you know? ”
Listening to the word 'uncle', the corners of Li Zhen's mouth twitched slightly.
He was only in his early twenties, but he was only twenty-three years old, and even if he had a mustache and two faint whiskers on his lips, he would not be so old! Li Zhen looked at the young man's clear and flawless eyes and said: "Uncle can pinch and calculate, he knows five hundred years before, and five hundred years later, so he naturally knows your birthplace." It is precisely because of this that Uncle administers justice to you! ”
In fact, Ye Chengcheng is definitely a famous existence in the history of the late Qing Dynasty.
However, Ye Chengxin is in the business world, not the political world.
Historically, Ye Chengxin can be described as a legend in the business world.
When he was less than ten years old, Ye Chengxin dropped out of school due to the poverty of his family and stopped studying, and became an apprentice in an oil mill. At the age of fourteen, he went to Shanghai and worked as a clerk in a grocery store, which is now Ye Chengxin.
It didn't take long for Ye Cheng to quit his job and drive a sampan to deliver goods and sell them to make money. Although Ye Chengxin didn't read much, he was studious, had a flexible brain, learned English, and got to know some foreigners.
When he was twenty-two years old, Ye Chengxin opened his own shop and operated hardware parts.
In a few years, it has been a huge rich.
After Ye Chengcheng made his career, he was not satisfied with the status quo, and expanded the scope of Ye's business and began to operate kerosene. At that time, most places still used oil lamps, and Ye Chengxin took advantage of this to make money and become a fire oil tycoon. Even, Ye Chengxin's business also involved munitions, steel and coal, shipping, land, matches, reeling (SAO) silk, and finance.
The scope of coverage is staggering.
Such a person, the scenery is infinite.
Historically, someone has counted Ye's family property, and combined the money and wealth of all aspects of Ye Chengxin's business, the movable property is more than 8 million, plus the real estate owned by Ye Chengxin, it has exceeded more than 10 million, which is not huge.
It is a miracle that a teenager who dropped out of school became a generation of super-wealthy.
Not only that, Ye Chengxin has won praise before and after his death, and has been praised as 'being a man like Ye Chengcheng', which can be seen. Li Zhen looked at Ye Chengxin, who was skinny and bloodstained beside him, and his heart was extremely excited. Accidentally, he actually saved a cowman, and he couldn't help but have the idea of changing the historical fate of this cowman.
"Xiao Ye, you came to avenge your grievances, do you have any grievances?" Li Zhen asked in a harmonious voice.
Ye Chengxin said: "The owner of the grocery store where I am located was robbed by officers and soldiers, and was killed by officers and soldiers. I asked the Lan County Commander to avenge my grievances, and after the Lan County Commander listened to my description, he actually asked the officials to beat me out. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Cheng's immature face showed a resolute expression, and said, "I won't give up, if Lan County doesn't care, I'll go to Lord Daotai." If Michidai-sama doesn't care, I'll go to the governor-sama. ”
Li Zhen asked, "You are a little child, aren't you afraid?" ”
Ye Cheng puffed up his chest and said, "I'm already a man!" ”
Li Zhen's mind flew to the officers and soldiers that Ye Chengxin said, and asked: "Since you said that they are officers and soldiers, can you remember their appearance?" What are the memorable features. ”
"Of course I do!" Ye Cheng said excitedly: "The four officers and soldiers all carried guns on their backs and shaved the hair on their heads, and they were vicious. They come to the grocery store to buy something, take it and leave, and don't give money. The proprietor looked for the officers and soldiers to theorize, but they were beaten to death, these people who killed a thousand knives, I must let them pay for their lives. ”
After Li Zhen heard this, he was a little unconvinced, and asked again: "Is it really shaved hair?" ”
Ye Cheng nodded heartily and said, "Well, the four soldiers are like this. ”
Li Zhen patted Ye Chengxin's shoulder and said, "Xiao Ye, you are not afraid of power, and you are loyal to seek justice for the owner, not bad." Go, I'll avenge you. Murder pays for life, and the person who kills your owner will definitely be punished. ”
"Really?" Ye Chengxin asked again.
Li Zhen nodded and said, "Really! ”
As they spoke, the two of them had already ascended the steps and came to the gate.
"Boy, why are you here again, get out!"
When the official guarding the door saw Ye Chengxin coming, his face suddenly fell, and when he looked at Li Zhen, he was even more vicious. Even, the hand of the official was already pressed on the hilt of the knife, and there was a tendency to draw the knife.
Ye Chengxin was a little frightened and said, "Uncle, what should I do?" ”
Li Zhen said: "Don't worry, everything has me." ”
Seeing this, the official yelled: "Boy, don't you want the dog to meddle with the mouse, get out of here, don't make the uncle unhappy." "This official doesn't even have an official rank, but he relies on the county government to make a fortune.
Li Zhen said coldly: "When did the county government become your opening, is there still a royal law?" ”
"Wang Fa?"
The official laughed and said: "The county lord is the king law, and the Shanghai Daotai Li is the king law." ”
When Li Zhen heard this, he was a little embarrassed.
However, Li Zhen couldn't be happy, he didn't expect Lan Weiwen to be such a bastard! Li Zhen shouted: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, let Lan Weiwen come to see me immediately." ”
"Who do you think you are, you can see as much as you want?"
The official sneered twice, with a look of disdain.
The quarrel between the two made the resting officials in the county government come out, and there was also a head catcher. This head catcher has seen Li Zhen, because when Li Zhen beat Yang Fugui, the head catcher was present, and naturally he can't forget it. The head catcher saw Li Zhen standing at the door with the young man in his arms, his feet were weak, and his body was almost falling.
Fortunately, the official beside him helped him stabilize his figure. The head catcher broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly ran to the gate, knelt down and saluted, and said, "The villain has seen Lord Daotai!" ”
This salute made the official standing at the door stunned.
"Plop!"
The servant's legs were weak, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "My lord, the villain has eyes and no beads, and he collided with the adult, please forgive the adult." As he spoke, the official trembled and kept kowtowing to admit his mistake.
The people who followed Li Zhen were dumbfounded, feeling that this person was still a Daotai master in Shanghai.
Ye Chengxin is not very old, but his mind is flexible, and he knows that the person next to him is Li Zhen, so he is even more sure. This time, the owner's revenge will definitely be avenged. Ye Chengxin also knelt down and said loudly: "Lord Li, please make decisions for the grass people." ”
Li Zhen picked up Ye Chengxin and said, "I will make the decision for you." Let's go, follow me into the county office. ”
Ye Cheng hummed heartily, and a smile appeared on his face.
