Chapter 17: Brilliant Scheme
was said by Zhang Ke, Qiao Fu was also stupid, if the horses, stoves, and skins were all lost, the trip to Guangning would be tantamount to losing all his money. Not to mention wealth, the debt of twenty taels alone cannot be repaid.
He didn't care about the roots of his legs that were grinding and bleeding, and ran forward lifelessly, Zhang Ke and Qiao Gui also followed, ran through the two streets, and now a tall gatehouse appeared, with vermilion pine pillars, stone lions with teeth and claws in front of the door, and blue brick walls on both sides, more than a zhang high, looking at this posture, it is a big family.
"Brother Ke, this is it!" Qiao Fu gasped and slammed on the door.
"Open the door, open the door!"
slapped twice, but there was no sound at all, Qiao Fuyue was impatient.
"Open the door for Lao Tzu, and if you don't open the door again, a fire will burn you!"
Ahem, there were two coughs.
The side door was pushed open, and an old man dressed as a family poked his head out, with a big red rosacea nose and a broom in his hand. glanced at a few people outside the door, and immediately frowned.
"What are you little bunnies yelling about?"
Qiao Fu looked at it and immediately frowned, "Isn't it Steward Wang who guards the door?" I want to see Master Zhou, take me to him. ”
As he spoke, Qiao Fu rushed inside, and the old man swept his broom and stopped him unceremoniously.
"Boy, there is no Steward Wang, and there is no Master Zhou, you are in the wrong place!"
"How could I find the wrong one, just an hour ago, your Master Zhou invited me in for tea and chatting, and said that he would help us find a place to live and help us sell skins, where did the others go?"
The old man sneered slightly: "There is such a good thing, how can I sue the old man, if you want to slander someone, you can also make up a decent excuse." Our family has a big business, and there are few people who come to recognize their relatives and climb high branches one day. ”
"Fart, the master wants my things, my horse, and the skin, all put it in it, hurry up and return it to me!"
"Yo Yo Yo, it's really hard, if the little rabbit cub dares to make trouble again, I'll whip you!"
Qiao Fu was so angry that he reached out and grabbed the old man's clothes, and raised his fist.
"Old thing, if you don't return the master's things, I'll kill you!"
"Stop!" Zhang Ke finally spoke.
The most worrying thing is still born, Qiao Fu was deceived!
Zhang Ke has the heart to complain, but can he blame Qiao Fu? The first time he went to Quang Ninh, where did he know that people's hearts were sinister. The top priority is to find a way to recover the loss, and the longer the delay, the lower the hope of getting it back.
Zhang Ke held back his anger, and when he arrived at the door, he pushed Qiao Fu's hand away and bowed to the old man.
"Sir, my brother is not sensible, please forgive me. The three of us are all from the countryside, and we have exchanged our lives for a few wolf skins, and several mouths at home are waiting for the New Year. ”
The old man tidied up his clothes and sneered: "This is still like a human saying, my old man also hates to cheat people out of money, you should go to the government now, don't waste time here." ”
"Slow, old gentleman, my brother said that he was seeing the person, and he put down his things, and in a blink of an eye, the house changed its owner, you had better explain one or two, or else you will ask you to go to the government for a trip."
When Zhang Ke spoke, his right hand pressed on the handle of the knife, perhaps fighting with the wolves, and there was a murderous aura all over his body, and the old man couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Young man, tell you the truth, our lord's surname is Jin, this is just an annex, and we only live for a few days a year. According to his instructions, we usually rent out, but two people came three days ago, and it seems that there is a man surnamed Zhou, who rented the house. Just now he came to me in a hurry, saying that he had left the room in a hurry. I don't come out to check the furniture and clean it, and here you are! ”
Rent a house!
Qiao Fu suddenly slapped his face, opened his bow left and right, and pumped his mouth.
"Stupid, stupid to death, why don't you have long eyes!"
Within a few clicks, Qiao Fu's face was swollen, and blood was pouring from the corners of his mouth.
"Hold him!"
Zhang Ke gave Qiao Gui a look, and then took a deep breath.
"Sir, in any case, if a liar rents your mansion to cheat, you are always guilty of negligence. I don't dare to blame you, but please help me tell us everything I know, and then let us go into the house to have a look. ”
"Yes, I have to catch that liar, and I must break the corpse into pieces!" Qiao Fu's eyes were red.
The old man looked at them and said helplessly, "Count me unlucky, you all come in." ”
Zhang Ke and the others followed the old man into the courtyard, and after walking in, Zhang Ke observed left and right, this courtyard is indeed spacious and bright, and the building is exquisite, no wonder Qiao Fu was fooled. Walking on the cobblestone road, I came to the main hall.
"Brother Ke, that's where we drink tea. The man surnamed Zhou told me that the house was his, and any furnishing in the house cost hundreds of taels of silver. I just thought that he was so rich, how could he lie to me, I was so stupid! ”
The old man looked at it and smiled proudly: "Young man, he really didn't lie to you, the things in this house are indeed priceless." See, this double beauty picture hanging in the middle is Tang Yin's handwriting, it is said that the painting is two famous prostitutes in the south of the Yangtze River, when my lord comes over, he always has to take a look. ”
Qiao Fu glared and gritted his teeth: "I don't care about anyone's things, anyway, Lao Tzu's things are lost here, so I will use this thing to pay back!" ”
As he spoke, Qiao Fu rushed up to take off the scroll.
"Little bunny, do you want to eat a lawsuit?"
Zhang Ke's hand was quick, and he grabbed Qiao Fu, but he was still unconvinced.
"Brother Ke, don't care, this is a den of thieves, I smashed them!"
"Brother Gui, help me keep an eye on him!"
The two of them grabbed Qiao Fu tightly, and Zhang Ke smiled at the old man: "Thank you, old man, when we find something, we will definitely repay it!" ”
"Let's go!"
The three brothers turned and walked out of the mansion, walked two hundred meters, and came to the bottom of a large willow tree.
Qiao Fu suddenly broke free and slammed into the willow tree.
"Qiao Fu, you bitch, stop me!"
Qiao Fu's face was full of tears, he glanced at Zhang Ke, and cried: "Brother Ke, I'm a waste, I lost everything, let me die!" ”
"Qiao Fu, if anyone makes a mistake, they will look for death and life, but I am afraid that there are not many living people in this world!"
"Brother Ke, don't comfort me, the stove and wolf skin are our hope to repay our debts, and I lost them, which is equivalent to harming your family!"
At this time, Qiao Gui had already walked behind Qiao Fu, stretched out his slap, and slapped Qiao Fu four times in the mouth.
"You still know that things are important, three-year-old children know to beware of bad people, why are you so heartless!"
"Big brother, you kill me, I don't have the face to see people!"
Zhang Ke looked at Qiao Fu, who was crying profusely, and suddenly laughed: "It's nothing to eat a trench and grow wise, and I have an idea to recover what I lost!" ”
"Is there really a way?" Qiao Gui and Qiao Fu both widened their eyes and asked in horror.
Zhang Ke smiled: "I don't dare to say that I am 100% sure, let's find a place to talk about it." ”
Qiao Fu couldn't care about crying, and followed Zhang Ke to a dilapidated land temple, and the three brothers sat on the ground.
Zhang Ke sorted out his thoughts and said, "Is there anything wrong with your current housekeeper?" ”
"Isn't that right? I don't know. ”
Zhang Ke said: "According to him, he helps the master look after the yard and occasionally rents out the house." Imagine that you two are the housekeepers, if you hear that there are scammers living in and deceiving other people's things, how should you react? ”
Qiao Fu frowned and said, "I, I should take a look at the house first, whether I have lost anything or not!" ”
"Clever, that house is indeed painted with carved beams, and the furnishings are valuable, and the liar doesn't even let go of our little things, so how can he let go of the things in the house!"
"There is only one explanation, that is, the liar and the housekeeper are familiar, and even say that they are in the same group!"
Zhang Ke said his judgment, and Qiao Fu suddenly slapped his thigh, and suddenly brightened.
"I'll just say that the old guy is not a good thing, and the monk can't run the temple if he can run, Brother Ke, let's go back now, and force the old guy to hand over our things, otherwise I won't be done with him!"
"Don't worry." Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "According to my speculation, that liar should be a habitual offender, he must have discussed it with the housekeeper, and if he uses their family to set up a trick and rush over, he will definitely not be able to get a bargain." ”
Qiao Gui said, "Go find the government." ”
"Hahaha, the entrance of the yamen is open to the south, don't come in if you have no money. A few of our poor boys from other places don't bother to pay attention to us! What's more, when we sue the government, we may not have to toss for a long time, can we afford to wait? ”
"So, what then?"
Zhang Ke thought for a while and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, find out the situation first, and plan before acting." ”
……
"Old man, these fritters are fried so well, crispy and crispy."
"Hehe, I've been doing this for almost thirty years, and if it wasn't delicious, the old customers would have driven me away a long time ago."
"Old man, I'm afraid of deep alleys when the wine smells, why don't you find a place with a lot of people to set up a stall. I think the big mansion in front of me is very good, so magnificent, there must be a lot of people who are sent there. ”
The old man who fried the fritters laughed when he heard this: "Young man, you don't know, Master Jin is not at home, but a few family members are guarding the house." Alas, what a good house, ruined! ”
"Old man, how is this house ruined?"
The old man frowned suddenly, looked at the curious Zhang Ke, and suddenly shook his head and said, "What the old man said nonsense, I know that there is a lot of money for fritters, and I don't know anything else!" ”
Zhang Ke put his hand into his arms, took out a small piece of broken silver, and put it in the old man's hand.
"Old man, I bought all the fritters!"
The old man looked at the silver, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly put it into his arms. grabbed the oil paper and helped Zhang Ke wrap the fritters.
"Hey, this person's heart is fickle, Butler Niu behaved a few years ago, but then he gradually made friends with some indiscreet people, and there were several lawsuits. But they all relied on Master Jin's big face, and the officials didn't dare to care, so they became more and more presumptuous! ”
When Zhang Ke heard this, he was even more aware of it, and returned to the Land Temple with a large pile of fritters.
"I inquired, the housekeeper's surname is Niu, it's really not a good thing."
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go and settle accounts with him!" Qiao Fu is going crazy.
"Don't be busy!" Zhang Ke grabbed him again, "Steward Niu bites to death and doesn't admit it, what can we do!" Or find out the liar, he took our skins and stoves, and we have to ship them, and we will get all the stolen goods. ”
Qiao Gui shook his head: "Zhang Ke, what you said is very good, but I am not familiar with life, how to find it?" ”
"Hahaha, mountain people have their own tricks!"
