When the eldest son saw that the gold was "returned to Zhao", he was very proud in his heart, thinking that he had both people and money. However, how did he know that although Zhuang Sheng was very poor, he had always been known for his "honesty and uprightness", and even the king of Chu respected him as a teacher and respected him very much. For this gold, Zhuang Sheng had no intention of using it, but was ready to return it to Fan Li after the matter was completed. But being tricked by his eldest son, Zhuang Sheng felt humiliated.

So, Zhuang Sheng met the king of Chu again and said to the king of Chu: "I heard that the people talked about it, saying that the ministers around the king of Chu had been bribed by Tao Zhugong, and the amnesty was only for his son, not for the people of Chu. ”

Hearing Zhuang Sheng say this, the king of Chu was furious and immediately ordered the son of Tao Zhugong to be beheaded first, and then issued an amnesty order.

The eldest son had no choice but to return to Taoyi with gold and the corpse of his younger brother.

When she returned home, her mother and fellow villagers were saddened when she saw this, but Fan Li looked up to the sky and laughed. He said to his eldest son, "I have heard about your behavior in the Chu State, and I know that you will definitely kill your younger brother. It's not that you don't love him, it's because you started a business with me since you were a child and experienced the hardships of life, so you can't give up on money. If it were your third brother, it wouldn't be like this, because he had lived a rich life since he was a child, and he never knew that money was hard to come by, so he could spend a lot of money. At the beginning, this was the reason why you were not allowed to go, and now, you have harmed my brother for money, which is also something I expected a long time ago, and there is no good way. ”

After telling the story, Li Tao sighed: "The era in which the ancestors lived was a difficult time full of crises. People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and it is not easy to protect oneself. The ancestor scattered his family wealth three times before and after, and helped those poor fellow villagers and old friends, which certainly had the intention of keeping a low profile to scatter wealth and protect himself, but more than that, he was calm and detached in the face of wealth, 'the moon is full, the loss is full, the prosperity is declining', 'the surplus is not overflowing, and the prosperity is not arrogant', these are the laws of heaven. In the eyes of our ancestors, doing business was nothing more than a pleasure in life. Money is something outside of the body, and insatiable greed often backfires. Know how to use money to get money, this is the way of the ancestors to make money! ”

After a long time, Fan Hefu came to his senses, and he sighed slowly: "Li Xiaolang, I have been taught!" He seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Li Tao: "You sit down for a while, I'll come when I go!" ”

After a while, Fan Hefu came in with some copper coins and handed the copper coins to Li Tao: "Li Xiaolang, this is two guan money, if you can earn two thousand guan money in half a month, Jiulang will follow you in the future, I won't say half a word!" ”

Li Tao was stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "Uncle Fan is worthy of being the descendant of his ancestors, and he can see things clearly. I don't want to lose a friend like Jiuro, so I'll admit it! ”

"Daddy, what are you ......" Fan Changfeng saw that Fan Hefu was so embarrassed, and Li Tao suddenly became anxious.

Li Tao stopped Fan Changfeng, and he said goodbye to Fan Hefu: "Uncle Fan, then I will leave first, and I will come to visit again!" ”

"Li Xiaolang, let's go! Jiulang, you send Li Xiaolang for me! Fan Hefu said politely.

"Ah Tao, what does my father mean by this?" As soon as he went out, Fan Changfeng couldn't help but ask.

"Your father is doing this for your own good, he is afraid that if I am the Zhao Kuo who talks on paper, he will ruin your future in the future, so he intends to test me!" Li Tao said with a smile.

"Then you ......," Fan Changfeng said worriedly.

"I don't want to lose a friend like you, let alone two thousand guan, even if it is twenty thousand, I have to try it with all my might!" Li Tao patted Fan Changfeng on the shoulder.

"Tao ......" Fan Changfeng felt that his nose was sour, but he couldn't say anything.

……

Fan Hefu's temptation completely disrupted Li Tao's plan.

Originally, Li Tao was ready to fight steadily, and then challenge Wang Lihui when he was fully sure. But now that Fan Hefu is in the file, he has to change his plan and challenge Wang Lihui in advance. Only by taking care of Wang Lihui's affairs can he settle down and earn the two thousand yuan.

This day, Li Tao ate breakfast early, and then returned to his table in the private school to think carefully, one would be a challenge, and the other would be how to earn two thousand yuan, which made him irritable. Fan Changfeng was by the side and didn't speak, he knew Li Tao's difficulties at the moment.

"Even if you can somersault clouds, you can't fly out of the palm of the Buddha's hand!" At this moment, there was a commotion outside the private school.

Li Tao secretly wondered: How could this voice be so familiar.

When the two came in from outside the private school, it turned out to be a "little brother" of Wang Lihui and Lu Yue'er.

Li Tao's heart moved, and he stopped talking.

After getting out of the private school in the afternoon, the children still came to Li Tao's house to listen to the story.

"Ah Tao, where is Uncle Yue?" The children looked around.

They had now formed a habit of knowing that they would be able to listen to stories after they had fallen Pei Yue.

"Wait! I want to ask you one thing! Li Tao said quietly.

"What's the matter, Atau!" The children asked.

"Who leaked the story I was telling?"

"Atau! What's going on? One of the children, Dazhu, asked.

"Some of you leaked the story I told you to Wang Lihui, if it were someone else, you know that Wang Lihui is my sworn enemy, but you did such an unkind thing, it really makes me sad!" Li Tao's face was ugly.

"How is this possible? We're not going to do anything like that! Dazhu swore solemnly.

"Even if you can somersault clouds, you can't fly out of the palm of the Buddha's hand! This is a sentence that Wang Lihui unintentionally said when he was playing, if you haven't heard the story I tell, how can you know about somersault clouds? And how do you know about the Buddha? I have only told you this story, and it is told in my courtyard, is he Wang Lihui not able to listen to the wind? Li Tao's words suddenly made Dazhu speechless.

"Who did it? Stand up for yourself! The annoyed pillar looked at his friends.

The children looked at each other, and no one would admit it.

Li Tao smiled bitterly: "You guys are like this, how can I be in the mood to tell you stories again?" ”

"Atau! I did it, if you want to blame me, blame me! At this moment, a voice said timidly.

"Ah Can? It's you, how could you ......" Dazhu gritted his teeth.

Li Tao stopped Dazhu and asked calmly, "Ah Can, who did you talk to?" ”

"In addition to Wang Lihui and Lu Yue'er, there are also Hua Jingjing and Hua Wenxuan! Oh, and Master Cheng! Since he admitted it, Ah Can didn't hide it, and he said it all in 1510.

"Master Cheng?" Everyone was taken aback, they didn't expect that Master Cheng, who was usually unsmiling, would be willing to listen to Li Tao's story.
