[Fourth Friday! ] 】

Chu Fan never expected that as soon as he returned to his home in Wanzikou, before his buttocks were hot, two people came to the door to ask him for help, and the things they asked for were almost the same, they were all to save people.

The first to come was Zhang Xiaoyi's mother-in-law, who fell to the ground crying and worshipping as soon as she entered the door, shouting "Childe help".

Chu Fan frowned patiently and listened to her cry for a long time, and finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that since this Xiaoyi was divided into 3,600 taels of silver, he was bent on buying a house and land near Wanzikou Village; He was a fisherman, and after he became rich, he was inevitably arrogant, not only boasting about how rich he was, but also Chu Fan was also made a god by him - although under Ge Bi's stern admonition, he didn't dare to say how to make money, but he still talked a lot about how Chu Fan was rich, and he gave himself a little bit of money and he had a million family fortunes.

A man like him, who has been poor and rich for a long time and has no foundation, is the favorite of the inferior gentry, and several times he dug a pit and tried to cheat him out of money in the paper contract, but he was seen through because he learned a lot of words when he went to sea.

Although he didn't have a way, he also offended the dry oil official in the Yahu House in Penglai County, so when the rich man in Fangjiazhuang in the west of Penglai County found Zhang Xiaoyi, he didn't remind him at all. This rich man is actually a servant of Xu Xianchun, who was originally a Penglai person, and after Xu Xianchun developed, he bought a large piece of house and land in his hometown; Now that the master's family is in trouble, this servant is in a hurry to cash in and run away, so he will give Zhang Xiaoyi a mere 3,000 taels of silver.

In fact, this matter is no secret in Penglai, and no one who knows a little bit of the inside story dares to wade into this troubled water, and only Zhang Xiaoyi is greedy for cheap and takes it - the person who gets rich and likes to show off is the most hateful, and no one reminded him in the whole process, let alone the oil officials in the county yahufang, who wished that this stupid and bold man would be planted in the pit.

As a result, he Zhang Xiaoyi and Zhang Da Rich took over for only a month. Even the tenants were arrested before they could admit it all-Beijing Xu Xianchun was robbed of his house and imprisoned, and his subordinates naturally couldn't escape, so he found Penglai County, where there was still a lot of "stolen goods", how could Zhang Xiaoyi get it if he wasn't arrested?

After listening to the cry of the Zhang family's mother-in-law, Chu Fan felt a little sad and angry in his heart.

In the era of the Ming Dynasty, which was highly hierarchical. If you don't know how to keep your head and be a man with your tail between your legs, you will inevitably become the object of scheming and chasing from the powerful to the small officials.

It's just that his matter is now quite tricky, and the so-called murder of money and death, why is it connected is because the money-seeker wants to cut off future troubles. That's why the killer hurts; Now that people want to seize this homestead, if no one comes forward, Zhang Xiaoyi's little life will definitely not be saved.

Zhang Xiaoyi's impression of Chu Fan is quite bad, this person is a typical small citizen, with the unbearable vices of the lowest Chinese: the slightest thing will be coaxed into the sky; There is really something to come, and I don't take responsibility; When the wind is down, he rushes up to grab credit, and retreats at the slightest setback; The most chilling thing is that this kind of person is not only like this, but also has to find a way to pull the people around him to the same level as him. As the saying goes, "a rat" is it.

However, even though Chu Fan had such a bad impression of Zhang Xiaoyi, he still decided to reach out and help.

Originally, Chu Fan could have asked that Cai Zhifu to come forward. At most, you can fish people out for a little money, but Chu Fan decided not to do it - it is one thing to let Zhang Xiaoyi suffer a little hard and learn to be obedient, on the other hand, he also wants to give a warning to the people below through Zhang Xiaoyi's matter: This world is not only rich in this world, and everyone has to follow him to form a group in order to have a life flower!

So he told the mother-in-law of the Zhang family. Let Zhang Xiaoyi bring a message, asking Zhang Xiaoyi to stop dwelling on the matter of buying a house and land, and show that he is willing to give up that piece of homestead, and in addition, he will not admit any crime. The so-called "three don't open their mouths, the gods are difficult to start", no matter how slippery the old official is, he is afraid of a mouth that can't be pried.

In the end, Chu Fan also planned to tell Penglai County through the Dengzhou Mansion that Zhang Xiaoyi had followed him through the Wa Kingdom, and his subordinates would be merciful.

With this statement, if Zhang Xiaoyi can also cooperate well, his life should be saved - if Zhang Xiaoyi is still not interesting and it is difficult to give up good money, then Chu Fan will have no choice.

Of course, Chu Fan would not say this to the mother-in-law of the Zhang family, and after a few words of good words of persuasion, he watched the woman wiping her tears go out of the door.

Before he could turn around, a chubby figure appeared at the gate, hunched over and looking into the courtyard, and when he saw Chu Fan standing in front of the hanging flower door, his round face was immediately filled with flattering smiles, and he nodded and stepped over the threshold and came in, followed by a woman in her forties with red eyes.

It is Chu Hong, Chu Fan's uncle, and the patriarch of the Chu clan.

"Yo, isn't this an aunt and uncle, what kind of wind blew your two old men here?" Chu Fan greeted with a faint smile, and his words were full of ridicule - when the second room was in trouble, what this uncle did made him extremely cold, the patriarch, when the Zhang family came to ask for it, he was embarrassed to take out a mere twenty taels of silver and sent the Zhang family away; He, the eldest brother-in-law, has this attitude, and those in the clan who tend to be inflammatory, and naturally fall into the ground, but Chu Fan and his mother didn't borrow a few money, not to mention, and fell into a state of anger.

Since then, Chu Fan has warned the Zhang family that he has almost cut off the contacts of other Chu families except for the third room, so as not to be angry - he returned from the Wa Kingdom this time, except for his third uncle, these clansmen of the Chu family have come a few times, and the other families, including Chu Hong, can't see the shadow of people, and even when Chu Qin was married, they all put down the congratulatory gifts and hurried away, probably because they didn't have the face to see Chu Fan.

Therefore, Chu Fan said that "what wind" blew Chu Hong here, but it was not entirely sarcastic, but it could be regarded as the truth.

"Yixian Xian's nephew, I ......" Chu Hong's fat face, smiling was more ugly than crying, and he was stunned for a long time before he said, "I ...... We can't live with you...... Your family ......"

"Hey, uncle, let's not talk about the past, okay?" Chu Fan saw that he was going to turn over those Chen sesame rotten grains, and quickly interrupted him, "You have something to say." ”

Chu Hong wanted to speak and stopped, his originally oily and slippery hair was now messy, the red light on his face was gone, and the green silk robe on his body had not been washed for a long time, exuding an unpleasant smell mixed with sweat and sourness, how could there be half of the Chu family patriarch's high-spirited appearance.

"Don't hide it from your immortal nephew, your eldest brother ...... He's tied up! (To be continued.) )
