Chapter 10: The True Spirit
Zhou Xun delayed at home for three days. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"At the master's house, you have to concentrate on preparing for the exam, and you can't forget the things I told you, you know?"
Zhou Xun nodded yes.
Then, sitting on the ox cart, Zhou Xun spread out a book and looked at it slowly.
The subordinates drove the cattle and drove on the avenue, but fortunately, the road surface was tamped with loess, and it was quite smooth, but there were slight bumps.
Zhou Guimu sent his son out, and this time he is expected to live outside for three months until he returns from the exam.
Since the time was not short, Zhou Gui first let him read the book and memorize the words and pictures before letting him go. That's why it's delayed for three days.
"Let's hope it goes well・・・・・・"
When it came to separation, Zhou Guicai felt that he was always at ease, and he always felt that his son would suffer outside.
"If the jade is not cut, he should always be given the opportunity to go out and work hard, there is always such a day."
Ning Shi was quite open-minded.
"Besides, Xun'er went to Kaohua County, and it is only ten miles away, so it is not troublesome to go a few times in time. Xunfuzi's family are all easy people to get along with, and Xun'er is his closed disciple, so he won't treat Xun'er harshly. I'm not worried about this mother, what are you worried about? ”
Ning took her husband's arm, snuggled him, and pulled him home.
"Last month, the income of the family's needlework shop, rice shop, and oil mill doubled, and the running accounts were all there.
Zhou Gui raised his eyebrows, took the account book, turned it page by page, went through the accounts, closed his eyes and did the calculations, then opened his eyes and sneered, and threw the account book on the case.
"Don't look at it more, there is a problem with the account of the oil mill!"
"Some people have big hearts! It's a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds! Eat me, use me, receive my favor, and actually raise a white-eyed wolf! ”
"Humph! How dare you show me a fake account! Deceive the upper and lower levels, the methods are sophisticated, and it is really a killing! ”
Zhou Gui had a sinister look on his face, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he looked like he was not allowed to enter.
Ning knew that her husband was really angry, and stepped forward to hold his hand.
"It's not your fault, you haven't been to the oil mill, I don't know what it's like. You can't see it on the books alone, you have to know the oil mill very well. This comes and goes, and it can swallow five hundred taels of silver per year, which is still less・・・・・・"
With his wife, Zhou Gui walked quickly to the back door, called someone, and got into the carriage.
"This time, I'll go and see for myself that those who have black hearts dare to swallow my silver!"
Ning was also a little angry, and said.
"Isn't the person in charge of the oil mill Xing Deyi? Could it be him? ”
"Even if it's not, it's because he doesn't supervise it well! I don't think he can do this position! ”
"No matter who dares to hack my money, he will be killed with a cane, and if he turns around and hands over a post to the county, he will say that he has a cold."
"My Zhou family has been too tolerant in the past few years! I really thought that Zhou would not dare to kill! Now I think the Zhou family can be bullied? It's really a bunch of cheap bones! ”
In this year, the death of a slave who signed a deed of sale was only a fine of 100 yuan. Even if it is a hired subordinate, if it is really killed, it will only lose some money, and the other party's family will have to be grateful to Dade.
A human life is only five taels of silver・・・・・・ most of the time, there is not even this price, maybe only seven or eight hundred yuan.
Human life has a price, the life of a family is expensive, and the life of the poor is cheap, at this time, morality has always been like this, even if a gentleman sees it, he can't say anything.
While the carriage was galloping, the coachman knew that the master was in a bad mood, and beat the horses again and again.
After a short time, the two arrived at the oil mill.
When Zhou Gui got out of the car, someone greeted him, and the concierge knew that it was the main family as soon as he saw the car, and he dared to stop it.
The seven or eight strong men who followed the retinue, armed with sticks, knives, and iron cables, followed the master's house in silence without saying a word.
"Well, this is going to happen・・・・・・"
When the porter saw this situation, he was secretly frightened.
"It's happened, I don't know who is going to be unlucky this time."
"Xing Deyi, this old man, isn't he making fake accounts? Was this discovered by the Lord's family? ”
"It's rare to see the old man angry, this time it's a big deal!"
When I entered the oil mill, there was a smell of sesame oil.
Zhou Guili ignored the guys who came up, took care of himself, found a Taishi chair outside, and sat down.
"What about Xing Deyi? Come out for me! ”
After a while, a rich old man in a silk robe came out, trembled, pounced, and knelt down.
"Hit me hard left and right!"
Two strong men stepped forward and pressed Xing Deyi's limbs, and the other two took wooden sticks with thick bowls and hit Xing Deyi on the legs.
One stick after another, a muffled sound could be heard every time, Xing Deyi fainted in pain after screaming twice, but Zhou Gui did not stop.
Then keep fighting!
Zhou Gui brought all the family members who belonged to him, and if he didn't stop, he would definitely keep fighting!
Zhou Gui saw that the old man in front of him was beaten to death, his legs were blurred with flesh and blood, and he was useless, so he just watched coldly.
Ning was soft-hearted in the end, and secretly pulled Rafujun's sleeve.
Zhou Gui looked at her, and finally stopped it.
"Carry him down first, and take away his steward from today!"
"Go to a few people, search for me!"
Then the four strong men came out in response, drew their swords, and commanded the frightened men to lead the way and search the steward's residence.
A few people went in, but there were not enough people, and they came out and called a few guys.
Zhou Gui was carrying a sword, closing his eyes to recuperate, and Ning Shi also pressed it on the hilt of the sword casually.
In this year, if you want to gain a foothold, you can't do without martial arts, and the Zhou family has so many business shops, and there are few lives under their hands that can't be saved at all.
Then the men came out to reply, and the guys came out with big boxes.
"Old man, that Xing Deyi hid a large box of silver, as well as a number of account books and documents."
Zhou Gui looked at the box first, there were layers of silver taels on it, and it could be seen that they were all remelted, about 200 pieces, and there were tens of thousands of taels.
He sneered a few times.
"A mere steward, there is such a family background! Yes, that's great! ”
He glanced at the men around him, and they fell to their knees in fear. ‘
They finally remembered the person in front of them, the prestige of the Zhou family's master, and they didn't dare to say more than half a word, for fear that their hands would fall with a knife and blood would be splashed seven feet・・・・・・ their own master had really been on the battlefield and killed people!
Then there are account books and documents, and account books are just that, which are nothing more than a necessity for deception and concealment to make fake accounts.
Zhou Gui flipped through the paperwork, and then quietly tucked it in his sleeve.
"It seems that the penalty is still light・・・・・・"
Then he pointed to a person.
"Fan San, now you are in charge of this!"
"I'll give you one thing! This Xing Deyi, deceived his superiors and subordinates, embezzled the property of the master's family, and his crime is unforgivable! You, now give me a copy of his family! Then find someone to sign the death deed, and sell it to me in the hook bar! ”
The man named Fan San was trembling all over his body, excited.
"Yes, sir!"
Then he got up quickly, called his fellows, took all his sticks, and rushed out in a murderous manner.
"Husband?"
Ning asked quietly.
"I'll talk about it later."
Zhou Gui also whispered softly.
However, Zhou Gui's hand in his sleeve was already clenched.
"Yuqing Dao, what do you want to do!"
It was quiet, and no one could know what was going on in his mind.
In the distance, unbeknownst to him, Zhou Xun was lying on the ox cart and had been asleep for a long time.
Suddenly, he sat up and looked fixedly.
"It was really a big dream, and now I'm really awake!"
"The young master is awake, and he is almost in the county seat."
When the charioteer heard this, he did not look back, but said.
"Well, I've woken up, and this dream is a long time."
The young man's eyes were dark, and he looked at a place, where the lower courtyard of Yuqing Dao was located.
