Chapter Thirty-Six: The Wicked Are Hard to Treat
Pan Zongqiang saw that they were about to go away, and suddenly shouted: "Do you want to inquire about the eighth master and Kuai Diancong who married Miss Du?" ”
Hu Xianxian nodded when he heard him say this, and dragged Cheng Haofeng to Pan Zongqiang's room, "You tell us everything about this Kuai Diancong." ”
Pan Zongqiang stared at her holding Cheng Haofeng's hand: "Xianxian, you are not small, it is better to be solemn." ”
Hu Xianxian shook off Cheng Haofeng's hand, "Don't talk nonsense, say it quickly." ”
Pan Zongqiang smiled at her: "Xianxian, I don't think you're old." You are born delicate, more tender than a fifteen-year-old girl. ”
Hu Xianxian was so anxious that he didn't know what to say, and Cheng Hao said coldly: "She was still young." In another world, let alone twenty-one, even thirty-one is a little girl. ”
"Another world?" Pan Zongqiang pulled his rat whiskers, "Thirty years are still little girls, aren't there many people who live to be seventy or eighty?" ”
"It's not uncommon to live to be a hundred years old." Cheng Haofeng said seriously: "I have seen what the future will look like, and at that time, mortals will be able to run faster than the immortals at this time." ”
Hu Xianxian stomped his feet vigorously and shouted anxiously: "Where are you going?" I'm getting down to business, I'm going to ask about Kuai Diancong's situation. I thought about it all night yesterday, and in order to properly solve the affairs of the Du family, we must understand the person who forcibly married Wanzhi. ”
Pan Zongqiang began to seriously talk about Kuai Diancong's situation, and Cheng Haofeng stopped interjecting.
It turned out that this Kuai Diancong was the eighth son of the wealthy Kuai Mori Xiong in the capital, just because he was born to a servant girl, and his status in the Kuai family was not high, so he wanted to do something to make the master pay attention to him.
Hu Xianxian wondered in his heart, this Kuai Diancong is also the son of a rich man no matter how much he is not valued, why does he bother to do this?
Pan Zongqiang saw that Hu Xianxian was wondering about something, and he continued with a wry smile. This old man has more than ten sons, and each of them shows his ability, which is their way to fight for the family business.
Pan Zongqiang had dealings with Kuai Diancong, because there was a jade mine in Yuezhou to be resold, he and Kuai Diancong both took a fancy to him. But Zou Zukuan, the original owner of the jade mine, said that he was once Kuai Senxiong's apprentice when he was a jade carving craftsman, and the master and apprentice had a conflict, and he was unwilling to sell it to the Kuai family.
Pan Zongqiang bought the jade mine at a very low price, and Kuai Diancong didn't fight with him after he found out. Why did he go to great lengths to get the jade liquor shop, Pan Zongqiang couldn't guess it.
After hearing this, Cheng Haofeng had a stunned expression on his face: "You said that Kuai Diancong and you have a crush on the same jade mine?" The original mine owner transferred it to you at a very low price? ”
Hu Xianxian's mind also flashed with inspiration: "Pan Zongqiang, is the jade mine that the people of Panlong Village forced you to hand over is the jade mine you collected in Yuezhou?" ”
"yes." Pan Zongqiang's face turned a little pale, he might have thought of something.
He pondered about the jade mine, and then said, "The price of the jade mine is too low, and I am afraid that the original mine owner will regret it and put the contract in the bank, and the people in the bank will not take out the contract if they don't see my silver medal." I also put my seal in the ancestral hall of my hometown, and they even wanted to break the contract without my seal. If there is a contract, I am not afraid that he will regret it. Those bandits forced me to make a fake contract, and they forced me to stamp it. Hmph, where can they find my chapter? Without my stamp, the people under me wouldn't listen to their nonsense. “
Hu Xianxian patted Pan Zongqiang's shoulder, "Have you figured it out?" The original mine owner didn't think about repenting at all, since he had been Kuai Mori's apprentice, he knew that they were ruthless. He just wanted to sell the jade mine as soon as possible, and take some cash and fly away. Hey, you were so greedy that you almost lost your life. ”
Cold sweat oozed from Pan Zongqiang's forehead, obviously feeling afraid: "That Eighth Master Kuai is polite and polite, and he didn't say much after learning that I had already purchased the jade mine." They don't lack silver, do they? Colluding with bandits is a felony, and he is not afraid of leaving nothing? ”
Hu Xianxian smiled "hehe": "You are not short of silver, but do you think you don't want to ask for any more silver?" I used to think that three hundred taels of silver would be able to block Ye Zan's mouth, but did it end up? Man's greed is insatiable. ”
Pan Zongqiang wiped away his sweat, shook his head and said: "Say that I am a profiteer, I am greedy for money, and I am not benevolent to the rich!" Hey, what's the comparison with these guys? Damn, dare to rectify Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu went back to Taixing Dusi Mansion to sue him. ”
Hu Xianxian waved his hand: "You have no evidence to prove that he instructed the people of Panlong Village to kidnap you, but you can go to the Land Temple to make incense and sue him." ”
Pan Zongqiang looked at Cheng Haofeng, "Can it be done?" ”
Cheng Haofeng nodded and said seriously: "Yes, but I can't get justice for you right away." It has to be reported to the heavenly court by the earth immortals, and then verified by the day and night gods. ”
Pan Zongqiang rolled his eyes when he heard this, and Hu Xianxian said: "Master Pan, you can go to the Land Temple to make incense, and we will find a way to do the rest." ”
The three of them drove to the Land Temple, where Pan Zongqiang took incense and told him about being kidnapped and forced to hand over the jade mine.
Gui Chongxu took the two of them to Deling Prefecture quickly, and at the junction of Anhui Prefecture, Ma Mingfeng took the two of them to the land temple in Dewan Prefecture soon.
Ma Mingfeng asked them, "I'm going to send someone to detain that Yang Soul of Kuai Diancong to interrogate, right?" The sixth junior brother has been in love for many years, and I am really afraid that he will go mad and cause trouble. ”
Hu Xianxian and Cheng Haofeng agreed, and solemnly followed Ma Mingfeng into the main hall. In addition to being darker, this main hall should be furnished like the official mansion in the world. After three "mighty" sounds, two black-clothed ghost guards escorted a brocade boy about thirty years old to the hall.
"Who's kneeling? Register your name. Ma Mingfeng's angry appearance reminded Hu Xianxian of the judge on the stage, and he couldn't help laughing.
The man said, "You don't even know who I am, so you dare to arrest me?" Tell me which yamen official you are? ”
Hu Xianxian laughed out loud, Cheng Haofeng glared at her, and she immediately straightened her face: "My lord is an Anhui Dixian, Ma Mingfeng and Ma Zhenren, do you understand which yamen you are in?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "It turned out that a group of little ghosts kidnapped the uncle, and I said how I drank tea well and was pulled into the yamen." I am Kuai Diancong, a native of Beijing, because Xinna married a concubine to Jingyang County, Wanzhou, I don't know what happened to the offender and was arrested here? ”
Ma Mingfeng said angrily: "Coaxing the owner of Jingyang Jade Liquor Workshop and forcing his daughter to be a concubine, what do you think you should be guilty of?" ”
"Great immortals, small wrongs. It was Du Chuan himself who wanted to hire me as his bookkeeper, not me who forced him to hire me. I'm a rich boy who has worked hard for him for more than half a year, why did I still coax him? His third daughter was also promised to me by him, she ran away from marriage, how much effort did I spend to find her? I didn't complain that she didn't keep her promises, how could she force her to be so lenient? ”
"Then you also colluded with bandits to kidnap Pan Zongqiang, a businessman from Taixing Mansion!" Ma Mingfeng threw out a piece of paper.
Kuai Diancong picked up the paper and looked at it and said: "I am the most unfavored child in the family, because I want to please my father, I want to buy back the jade mine that was occupied by one of my father's criminals, so as to please my father." Who knows how Pan Zongqiang said that the person refused to sell the jade mine to me, but transferred it to him at a very low price. I'm quite dissatisfied, but how could I collude with bandits to kidnap him? It's okay to buy it back at a high price, and it's not that my Kuai family can't get the money. ”
Ma Mingfeng looked at Hu Xianxian and then at Cheng Haofeng, and then said to Kuai Diancong: "You are a great filial son with nowhere to show filial piety?" The relationship between you and the bandit leaders of Panlong Village is extraordinary, and this immortal can hear with his own ears that they are very jealous of your Kuai family. ”
Kuai Diancong looked very aggrieved, not like being tried, but like venting bitterness to his friends: "Of course they are afraid of my Kuai family." We do business on this trade route, how much oil and water do they fish? We business people inevitably have to deal with people in the underworld, but they are all squeezing oil and water from us, how can we collude with them? ”
Ma Ming was so angry that he was shocked: "I really know how to quibble!" Ben Xian will let you go back for the time being, and when the ironclad evidence arrives in the hall, see how you quibble. ”
Kuai Diancong was escorted away, and Hu Xianxian sighed: "I think too simply, no wonder as the saying goes, 'gods and ghosts are also afraid of wicked people', this wicked person is really difficult to treat." “
