Chapter 174: The Old Man
As soon as Ye Chen came downstairs, he heard Xiao Er's voice coming: "Ye Gongzi, what have you been doing lately, you are so powerful, the shopkeeper will be happy to know this news." ”
"Brother, what are you doing, why don't we know?" Already asked below the red makeup.
Ye Chen smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a lesson to the magistrate, you eat first, I'll go to the money shopkeeper to have a look, you are here and wait for me to come back." ”
Hongmakeup promised: "Brother, don't worry, we will be obedient." ”
"Let's go, you lead me in front." Ye Chen said.
Xiao Er hurriedly put down the things in his hand and went out to lead the way for Ye Chen, the place where the money shopkeeper lived was in the countryside outside the county seat, and Ye Chen took a carriage for two hours to arrive.
"Ye Gongzi, wait a minute, I'll call someone for you." Xiao Er got out of the car and smiled.
Ye Chen also asked Xiao Er's name, but he told Ye Chen to call him Xiao Er, because he was the second in the family, and everyone called him that, and over time, this was also one of his names.
Knock knock.
"Who?" A middle-aged woman's voice came from inside.
"It's me, Xiao Er, Madame, open the door quickly, I'll bring guests to the shopkeeper." Little Erdao.
Bang dang.
The door slowly opened, and the middle-aged woman who had just spoken poked her head out and said, "There are guests you bring to the store, what are you doing here?" ”
After speaking, he looked at Ye Chen a little vigilantly, and it could be seen that they were not doing well now.
"Chunli, did Xiao Er bring someone here, let him come in." The voice of the money shopkeeper came.
Ye Chen also walked to the door at this time and said, "Money shopkeeper, I am Ye Chen, do you remember me?" ”
"Ahem, Ye Chen, it turned out to be you, I didn't see you last time you learned about it, but I didn't expect you to come back now. Ahem, Chunli, go fry a few dishes, get a pot of wine, I want to have a drink with our Xie Yuan. The money shopkeeper said excitedly.
Since his accident, many friends have not dared to contact him, for fear that they will be troubled, and now they are still very surprised to see Ye Chen.
Then the woman let down her vigilance, went to bring a pot of tea, put it up, and then went to stir-fry and cook.
Ye Chen looked at the money shopkeeper in front of him, thinking about the time when the two people just met, they were completely two people, the money shopkeeper two years ago was full of red light, although it was not fat-headed and big-eared, but it was also a state of wealth.
But now the money shopkeeper not only has a lot of gray hair on his head, but also looks very thin, and the most dazzling thing is that his right leg was broken by Fang Xing's people, and now he can only use crutches every day.
"Money shopkeeper, I'm sorry, this matter is still because of me after all." Ye Chen said guiltily.
He learned that if the money shopkeeper had pretended not to know anything at that time, there would have been no such thing at all.
Xiao Er also retreated silently at this time, and ran to the kitchen to help cook, leaving time for Ye Chen and the money shopkeeper.
After listening to Ye Chen's words, the money shopkeeper laughed and said: "Little brother Ye said that it is funny, this matter has nothing to do with you, my old mother also passed away last year, now don't talk about maiming me, even beating me to death, I can't watch him do this." I want to kill him now and avenge my poor daughter, ahem. ”
At the end, the voice of the money shopkeeper became crazy, and the coughing continued, Ye Chen hurriedly asked: "Money shopkeeper, how is your health, do you want me to ask the doctor to come and help you take a look." ”
The money shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "I've been fine for a long time, it's just that Gaohe's bastard county order is there, and I don't want to go." Alas, it's a pity that Lord Yang left in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't have left such a mess. ”
"Don't worry, there will be no more Gao He in the future, and when the meal is over, the money shopkeeper will go back with me." Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Brother Ye, what do you mean by this, could it be that Gao He was transferred away as soon as he came?" The money shopkeeper asked.
Xiao Er happened to come over at this time, and when he heard the question of the shopkeeper Qian, he answered first: "Shopkeeper, that scum of Gaohe has been killed by Young Master Ye, and even the Fang Mansion has been burned by him." ”
"What?" The shopkeeper exclaimed, he couldn't believe what Xiao Er said, Gao He was the emperor of the soil here, how could he be killed by Ye Chen, and Fang Mansion, although there were only a few people left, but not everyone could move.
The money shopkeeper looked at Ye Chen and continued to ask, "Ye Chen, are these true?" What have you been doing in the past few years, to be so promising. “
"It's nothing, the money shopkeeper just needs to enjoy peace of mind in the future, and there is no need to be like now." Ye Chen replied.
"Okay, good, it's good to have a chance, I thought you weren't an ordinary person at the beginning, and now it seems that I am indeed not mistaken." The money shopkeeper said with tears.
Unexpectedly, because of the kindness at that time, now in exchange for such a return, Ye Chen didn't drink much today, but the money shopkeeper has been depressed for too long recently, and he vomited and diarrhea when he drank.
When Ye Chen left in the afternoon, he took out 50,000 taels of silver tickets and handed them to the wife of the money shopkeeper, which was regarded as a reward for them, hoping that they would not have to live as hard as they do now in the future.
The most important thing is that it is estimated that once they say goodbye this time, they should never meet again, and there is nothing worth remembering in Hexian County.
Xiao Er did not stay in the money shopkeeper's house, but returned to the store with Ye Chen, although his relationship with the money shopkeeper for so many years is called the master servant, but in fact, the money shopkeeper has treated him as half a son, and now he has handed over the store to him to manage.
Ye Chen was recognized as soon as he entered the city gate, and everyone stood on the side of the road and watched Ye Chen's carriage and talked quietly.
"Have you heard, our county magistrate was killed by Ye Chen, and Fang Mansion was burned by him." There is humanity.
"I've heard about it, and no one has troubled him yet, could it be that this Ye Chen's background is also very big?" Someone next to him said.
"Impossible, what kind of family is the Fang family, how dare he burn it, not to mention that the magistrate is an official of the imperial court, how could he be killed by Ye Chen, you are a rumor heard there, be careful I will go to the official mansion to sue you." A man who looked like a scholar said.
The people next to him glanced at him and no one paid attention to him, this kind of person is a typical nerd, I don't know how long I haven't gone out, and I just look like I know the world's major events.
"Why don't you speak, are you being told by this son?" The man smirked.
He was a candidate who took the township exam in the same year as Ye Chen, although his ranking was not as good as Ye Chen, but he was also a showman, and now when he saw and heard everyone praising Ye Chen so much, he couldn't help but sneer.
There are so many talents in the world, and there are countless people, but these are useless, only a very small number of people who have passed the palace examination have the opportunity to enter the court as officials, so in his eyes, Zhixian is already a great figure, how can he be killed if someone says kill.
