Chapter 8 The Past of the Money Shopkeeper

"Young master, are we just back?" Fang Dong asked cautiously, obviously already knowing what had happened.

"What if you don't leave, you waste, you will be all knocked down by people before you react. If it weren't for my wit, young master, we probably wouldn't be able to come back now, so help me see how my injuries are. Fang Xing said unwillingly while lying on the bed. This group of subordinates was not beaten much, only they were beaten for a long time there, and they all blamed Zhang Lan for telling herself that the little beauty's brother was an idle waste that made him so ugly.

"Young master, were you really beaten, you didn't have any injuries on your body?" Zhang Dong asked a little skeptically.

As soon as Fang Xing heard this, if it weren't for the unbearable pain all over his body, it was estimated that Fang Dong would be beaten to death: "Are you blind, Young Master Ben is like this, and he is not injured yet." With that, Fang Xing slowly got up and looked at his body, but there was really no scar at all, but why did it hurt so much.

"Young Master, could it be witchcraft?" Fang Dong asked on the side.

Fang Xing scolded: "Demon tricks, it's estimated that it's the same as those jugglers, I don't know what tricks to do, wait for the young master to take part in the township test in a few days and clean up that kid." Don't spread the word about this today, it's too embarrassing, you all go down. ”

"Yes, young master."

Fang Xing's father deliberately found a relationship this year, and spent a lot of money to help him get a reputation, and after a few years, maybe he could get a half-official position. So now he is very strict with him, let him study at home more, and don't let him go out to cause trouble, otherwise Fang Xing would have been wronged so much and would have gone to find someone to help him get angry.

After Ye Chen went home, he sat in the courtyard alone, not knowing what he was thinking, he was not worried about Fang Xing going and returning, after all, he used the method of interrogating prisoners in the secret department, but the pain was unbearable but it would not leave scars. And as long as the government doesn't send troops to come, only those few subordinates, Ye Chen is completely fearless. What Ye Chen is worried about now is Zhang Qian and Uncle Li, after today's incident, Ye Chen has a deep understanding that no matter where you are, power and power must be in your hands, otherwise even if you don't bully people, someone will bully you.

"Brother, why are you so cold outside?" Zhang Qian looked at Ye Chen alone outside in a daze and asked.

"It's okay, my brother is in good health, you see that my brother just beat them away in a few clicks, you are fine." Ye Chen looked at Zhang Qian and said dotingly.

Zhang Qian shook her head and said, "I'm fine, brother, will they come again, Qian'er is a little scared, it's all because Qian'er didn't listen to her brother and went out and was seen by that Young Master Fang." As he spoke, his eyes turned red. Originally, Fang Xing didn't care about Zhang Qian, he didn't think it was anything, how good-looking a girl from a poor family could be, since he saw Zhang Qian waiting for Ye Chen to go home at the door that day, Fang Xing couldn't help it as if he saw a fairy, and asked Zhang Lan to hurry up and help him facilitate this matter, but that time he was interrupted by Ye Chen's return. This time, Zhang Lan deliberately saw that Ye Chen was not there, so she went to call Fang Xing, who was drinking.

Looking at Zhang Qian, who took all the blame on himself, Ye Chen felt uncomfortable in his heart. "Qian'er don't cry, my brother has already signed up for the township test today, after the township test, my brother will help you find a way to guide us to leave here and go somewhere else, as long as my brother has a meritorious reputation, they don't dare to plot against him." Ye Chen said with relief.

"Ye Chen, Qian'er is fine, cough cough, I just fainted and I don't know what happened." Uncle Li said at the door.

Ye Chen and Zhang Qian hurriedly walked over to help Uncle Li, Ye Chen looked at Uncle Li, who was coughing non-stop, and said: "Grandpa Li, they were all driven away by me, they shouldn't be here recently, how are you living here recently, you are going back after your injury." ”

Uncle Li shook his head and refused: "No need, I'll go back and take it, people like their own places when they are old." ”

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Ye Chen took out five hundred taels of silver tickets after sending Uncle Li back, handed them to Uncle Li and said, "Grandpa Li, you take this, this is what I just took from the person surnamed Fang." You put it away, buy something delicious and keep it for yourself. "Anyway, I didn't give Uncle Li a chance to refuse, and left.

Ye Chen deliberately looked at Zhang Lan's house next door, and kept locking the door, it seemed that Zhang Lan was hiding.

As soon as it got dark, the money shopkeeper of Jufu Building asked Xiao Er to bring the food that Ye Chen wanted.

"Little second brother, is it okay to ask you something." Ye Chen took out a tael of silver and said.

The little second brother put it away and said with a smile: "Little brother Ye, you can ask casually, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you." ”

"I want to know why the money shopkeeper asked you to come to report to me, and I don't seem to have a particularly deep friendship with the money shopkeeper?" Ye Chen asked puzzledly, he had been thinking about this question for a long time and couldn't figure it out, and he didn't understand why the money shopkeeper would risk being retaliated by the young master of the Fang family to help him.

"Ugh." The little second brother sighed and said: "It's not easy for our shopkeeper, two years ago, the shopkeeper had a daughter, who was just thirteen years old and was accidentally seen by Fang Xing's brute, but if it weren't for the fact that the shopkeeper was all here, he would have been looking for that bastard desperately." ”

Ye Chen was relieved and somewhat understood the money shopkeeper's approach. nodded and said, "Thank you, little brother, you hurry up and go back, thank you for me." ”

"Brother, that sister is so pitiful. Why is the surname Fang so bad, no one has come to arrest him? Zhang Qian asked.

Ye Chen didn't speak, just hugged her in his arms, and said secretly: Someone will punish him, if others don't come, then come by yourself, sooner or later he will let the Fang family die.

The township test starts on February 1 every year, and the test site is on a vacant lot next to the county office. The state government will send someone to supervise the exam, and the exam will last for one day, and then the examiners will decide the ranking for three days. On the fifth day, one percent of the total number of candidates admitted each time was released, and the first name 'Xie Yuan' was given the identity of Xiucai.

"Qian'er, tomorrow I will go to the township for the test, you and I will go together, and then you will wait for me outside the county office. I'll come out as soon as I finish the exam, and I'm not worried that you're home alone. "I'm going to take the township test tomorrow, but after what happened last time, Ye Chen didn't dare to let Zhang Qian be at home alone now.

"Well, Qian'er listens to her brother, and my brother will definitely pass." Zhang Qian said obediently.

Ye Chen counted the silver tickets that he had grabbed from Fang Xing that day. A total of 2,800 taels, excluding the money shopkeeper and Uncle Li, 2,200 taels were saved, Ye Chen found that he became a rich man overnight, which is probably equivalent to more than 200,000 yuan at the beginning, and the money in ancient times was worth more than the original money because there was no inflation. Ye Chen put all the money on himself, there is nothing valuable in this family, Ye Chen asked, as long as he has a reputation, he can go to the county government to guarantee Qian'er and give her a road guide, as long as the problem of Qian'er road guide is solved, Ye Chen plans to leave here immediately, and he will have the opportunity to come back in the future.
