Chapter 64: A Sense of Justice and Interests
On Zhao Yichang's table was Renda Qianzhuang's flying ticket, with a total of 30,000 yuan. This is the result of his busy work for most of the past half a year, and it can be regarded as a huge amount of money in the Great Song Dynasty.
With a slightly trembling hand pressed on this stack of flying tickets, Zhao Yichang didn't know what to say for a while. Since he was a teenager, he has always hoped to have a fortune. It was only this year that he was almost forty years old, and Zhao Yichang's biggest feeling was that it was unreal. The hardships along the way are so real, and the sadness and disappointment along the way are very real. Only the end result is so unreal. made Zhao Yichang feel as if he had a dream.
The hand trembled slightly, and tears moistened the eye sockets and welled up in them. Raising his hand to wipe his tears, Zhao Yichang sobbed in the face of the huge money.
"Daddy. Why are you crying? The milky call made Zhao Yichang raise his head, and a small figure was reflected in his blurred teary eyes. Wiping away his tears, Zhao Yichang saw that his daughter had entered the house at some point.
At this moment, Zhao Yichang only felt that his heart was about to melt. He stood up and took a few steps forward to hold his daughter in his arms, and then looked at his wife hiding outside the door. Zhao Yichang walked out of the house with his daughter in his arms and hugged his wife in his arms. He said with joy and sorrow: "Our family is rich!" You'll never run out of money again! I promised you a house, jewelry, a sedan chair. Now we can buy it when we have money. ”
Zhao Yichang's wife didn't expect Zhao Yichang to say such a thing, and her nose was sour, and tears flowed down. Marrying Zhao Yichang is not a choice, and Mrs. Zhao Yichang has not struggled in her heart. After getting married, Zhao Yichang, who thinks highly of himself, also said many big things that were impossible to achieve at that time. This also disappointed Zhao Yichang's wife.
However, today, everything Zhao Yichang said has actually come true, and Zhao Yichang still remembers his previous promises. This made Zhao Yichang's wife have mixed feelings in her heart, and she couldn't help crying.
Seeing that her parents were in tears, Zhao Yichang's daughter hurriedly wiped her parents' tears. But the husband and wife were so emotional that they couldn't stop their tears. Seeing that her efforts were fruitless, the little girl flattened her mouth and cried aggrievedly. Seeing his baby daughter crying, Zhao Yichang finally stopped choking.
Finally restored peace to the family, Zhao Yichang called his wife into the house, and the two sat face to face on both sides of the table, with the 30,000 flying tickets in the middle. Zhao Yichang took out 5,000 yuan and pushed it to his wife, and said with emotion: "You have worked hard all these years, and now there is no shortage of money, you can buy whatever you want." If you don't have enough money, ask me. ”
Zhao Yichang's wife didn't take the money, she shook her head lightly and said, "Da Lang, the family is used to this kind of day, and you don't have to change it in such a hurry." I heard from you a few days ago that you could invest money in Zhao Zhizhou's ship. I wonder if there is still such a chance? ”
After listening to his wife's investment advice, Zhao Yichang showed his own expression, "I'm not old yet." It's not to the point of confusion yet. For the rest of the money, I am going to buy a boat from Zhao Zhizhou. This time I went south, and I had to take the boat south. Earn your money on your own no matter what. ”
"Don't do that. This money is enough for us to eat and drink in this life. If you still want to take the risk, then you might as well leave it in our own hands. Zhao Yichang's wife obviously did not support Zhao Yichang's impulsive decision.
However, Zhao Yichang never listened to his wife's advice, and at this time, he had money in his hand, and decided to act according to his heart. Stuffed the 5,000 tickets to his wife, and asked his wife to collect the other tickets, Zhao Yichang went out of the house and went straight to the boat. Along the way, his mood also began to calm down, so he couldn't help but regret it a little. The tin shipped back did sell at a good price, but it did not have the 'Lin'an price' that Zhao Yichang imagined.
The merchant who bought tin admitted that the price in Lin'an was indeed relatively high, but he informed Zhao Yichang that the taxes along the way were also very high. If Zhao Yichang had duty-free ships available, he could do whatever he wanted. If not, you might as well make a move early. Zhao Yichang chose to make a move in Quanzhou, although Zhao Yichang had some regrets about the past, he didn't have to worry about it.
When they arrived at the boat, someone immediately led Zhao Yichang into a room. Zhao Yichang thought that he was going to talk to him about business, but he didn't expect the people inside to ask about the murder case on Zhao Yichang's ship. When he mentioned this, Zhao Yichang's expression became cold. He really didn't want to mention it, the owner's cousin's bad bastard really made Zhao Yichang disgusted. This time, he resolutely did not plan to cooperate with others again, but he had a shadow in his heart.
The person who asked had a businesslike expression on his face, and his voice was also very flat: "That man and his four minions have been caught." This time, we want to ask Zhao Guanren if he is willing to come forward to testify against this person. We heard that when the man killed someone, Zhao Guanren witnessed this. ”
Hearing this request, Zhao Yichang's first reaction was to try to refuse. It must be said that Zhao Yichang was very happy to hear that bastard was arrested. If that guy fell into the hands of Zhao Yichang, he also had the intention of killing that bastard. But this doesn't mean that Zhao Yichang has to come forward to testify against that bastard. If he did, it would mean a turnaround with the shipowner's family. The government did not give Zhao Yichang any benefits, why should he help the government to uphold justice.
"Zhao Zhizhou wants Zhao Guanren to come out and testify." The person questioning told a fact, which made Zhao Yichang stunned.
"If it was someone killed on another family's ship in the South China Sea, Zhao Zhizhou would definitely not know, and naturally he wouldn't be able to control it so much. This time, someone killed people in Zhao Zhizhou's fleet, and such things cannot be let go. The murderer dies, and the wounder is punished. This has been true since ancient times, not to mention that the person who was killed did nothing wrong at all. Zhao Zhizhou felt that Zhao Guanren should have righteousness in his heart. Just like the cages on the streets of Quanzhou, flies fly everywhere, and the scourge is not a single one. As long as the flies don't die, no one can escape the scourge. ”
Listening to the facts and reasoning told by the questioners, Zhao Yichang did not take it to heart. The fact that someone killed people in Zhao Jiaren's fleet seems to have angered Zhao Jiaren, which is easy to understand, and now he is killing people on his own ship. If not, what will happen in the future? Did you kill Zhao Jiaren's crew?
Now that Zhao Yichang doesn't speak, he is thinking about interests. At least now Zhao Jiaren has not made any conditions for Zhao Yichang, and it has never been Zhao Yichang's personality to pay for justice in vain. If he had such a strong sense of justice, he would not have been involved in the sale of illegal salt at a young age.
Seeing Zhao Yichang's expression of waiting for the price to sell, the inquirer said: "Zhao Zhizhou said that he sent someone to the house to talk to their head about this matter. If their head of the house is willing to make the murderers confess, we will allow them to join the Voyager Guild. Zhao Guanren is the same, if you are willing to identify the murderer, you can also join the Navigation Guild. ”
