Chapter 49 is only for self-preservation
Since the bustard didn't want to say it, Shu Yu didn't want to force the bustard, so he asked:
"Tell me about the letter! I made your Qinglou yellow for you, logically speaking, you should hate me, how can you remind someone who wants to harm me. β
The old bustard's face was full of sorrow, sighed, and said a little depressed and complaining:
"It's because I'm unladylike, and I'm to blame, the reason why I help you is also for myself, I'm a small Qinglou, and I've been targeted by so many people, since I have nothing, it's better to die and break the net, maybe there is a glimmer of life."
Shu Yu didn't understand what the bustard meant when he said this, he looked at the bustard quietly, and felt that these words didn't seem to have anything to do with writing a letter to remind him, so he asked puzzled:
"Are the two related?"
The old bustard went on to say:
"The girl doesn't know, it turns out that I run this green building in Yuegang City, it's not big or small, it's more than enough, since Zhao Chongwen came, my green building is getting bigger and bigger, and the business is getting better and better."
Shu Yu was puzzled, from the bustard's point of view, the bigger the business, isn't that a good thing? Why did he sigh, Shu Yu didn't ask, but quietly waited for the bustard's next words.
Sure enough, the old bustard spoke again, and continued:
"Although the business is getting better and the venue is getting bigger, the actual income is not much more than before."
Shu Yu was curious and couldn't help asking:
"Why is that?"
The old bustard shook his head with a wry smile and said:
"Because there is a wolf that can't be fed, it seems that in Yuegang City, my Wanzilou family is the only one, but in fact, the income is divided by Zhao Chongwen, he is the real Wanli, eating people without spitting out bones."
Shu Yu finally understood why the old bustard was so arrogant before, and he kept shouting that he had the support of a big man behind him, it turned out to be Zhao Chongwen, no wonder he came so quickly yesterday, and he wanted to arrest people without asking about it.
Shu Yu motioned for the bustard to continue.
The bustard continued:
"Just forget it, I didn't expect someone to see my Wan Zilou getting bigger and bigger in the past two years, and it actually ......"
The old bustard suddenly shut up at this point and did not continue.
Shu Yu just heard half of it, so the old bustard didn't continue, and asked curiously:
"How...... There are also people who want to get a piece of the pie in Wanzilou? β
The old bustard knew that he almost made a mistake and almost shook out the other big man, so he quickly adjusted his mood and said slowly:
"That's not important, the key is that you made a big fuss about Wanzilou yesterday, Lord Zhao took advantage of the fire to rob and almost wanted to swallow my Wanzilou alone. If I don't agree to his terms, I'll have to change the business. β
Shu Yu didn't pay attention to the bustard's sudden change of topic, and asked thoughtfully:
"According to what you mean, the person who designed to harm me is Lord Zhao?"
Shu Yu also heard the clue at this time, according to the old bustard's meaning, it was not the old bustard who wanted to harm him, but Lord Zhao, who stabbed Lord Zhao's golden nest.
The bustard nodded and said:
"That's right, last night Lord Zhao came to me to discuss the matter of Wanzilou, and finally Lord Zhao offered to help me go back to Wanzilou, but he wanted to take eighty percent of the profits, if I didn't agree, he would occupy my Wanzilou and drive me out."
Shu Yu was puzzled and asked suspiciously:
"Mother Su, there is one thing I don't understand very well, Wan Zilou's deed of sale has been torn up by me, those people are already free, how can Lord Zhao re-operate Wan Zilou, as long as those people are unwilling, he can't do it."
The old bustard shook his head and explained:
"According to the law of our Song Kingdom, if the deed of sale is damaged, as long as there are official documents, the deed of sale can be redrafted and is still valid. In addition, I have many official slaves in Wanzilou, and if there is no official pardon, I still can't get rid of the slave status, so the deeds of sale that you tore up yesterday can be done by Zhao Chongwen with a piece of paper. β
Shu Yu only understood at this time how naΓ―ve and ridiculous his thoughts were yesterday, thinking that he had done a great thing, and he thought that he could save everyone by tearing them up by selling them, but he didn't expect that those people still couldn't get rid of the fate of being controlled.
Shu Yu became more and more aware of the truth of the matter, and also wanted to understand why Lord Zhao had already found a way to restore those deeds of sale, and he still wanted to harm himself.
Shu Yu understands that it is because her identity is a person from the Shizi Mansion, and yesterday she said that she would provide jobs for those people, and she is a person from the Shizi Mansion, and the Shizi Mansion is also a member of the official government, and she also has the right to get rid of the slavery of those people
Lord Zhao didn't dare to blatantly follow him, as long as he was dead or missing, there was no way to provide jobs for the people in the Qinglou, and the people of the Shizifu would not help those women regain their freedom, so those women would naturally become his tools to make money.
Shu Yu figured it all out and said slowly:
"This makes sense, I didn't expect this Lord Zhao's methods to be so vicious, he was just asking for money, and he actually sent someone to assassinate me."
When the old bustard heard that Shu Yu had been assassinated, he looked surprised and asked:
"The girl was assassinated?"
Shu Yu looked at the old bustard puzzled, and asked suspiciously:
"Don't you know Lord Zhao's plan?"
The bustard replied truthfully:
"The old slave didn't know, this Zhao Chongwen only talked to me about the conditions and drove me away, and didn't tell me the plan, in addition, in order to verify your identity last night, Zhao Chongwen sent the human trafficker and your father ...... No, it was Lu Shuang'er's father who called over and asked for the truth. β
Shu Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard Zhao Chongwen ask Lu Shuang'er's father to ask for the truth, and couldn't understand what Zhao Chongwen was trying to do?
Seeing Shu Yu frowning, the old bustard said:
"Girl, the old slave has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not."
Shu Yu was thinking about the problem, and when he heard the bustard say this, he motioned for the bustard to continue.
The old bustard sorted out his thoughts and said slowly:
"The old slave thinks that today's girl's assassination should have nothing to do with Zhao Chongwen."
Shu Yu looked at the bustard inexplicably, and asked rhetorically:
"Why do you say that?"
"Zhao Chongwen is just asking for money, there is no need to offend the Shizi Mansion because of a Wan Zi Lou, if you are really killed, the Shi Zi Mansion will definitely dig into it to the end, and then he will gain more than he loses, I think, he only needs to make you unable to provide a job, he will naturally have a way to restart Wan Zi Lou, and he doesn't have to ask for your life at all."
After hearing this, Shu Yu also felt that it seemed to make some sense, and suddenly wondered if today's incident was really a coincidence.
The bustard continued:
"Isn't it true that the girl has offended others, or that the people who are traveling with her have offended others?"
The old bustard's words were enlightened, Shu Yu instantly thought of something, the whole thing, Shu Yu was preconceived, thinking that those mountain bandits were coming for themselves, and now after being reminded by the old bustard, he also thought of some details, and suddenly felt that there were more strange things in this matter.
