Shengyuan rice shop, this is it.

It happened that a carriage carrying grain and rice came and blocked the street at the door, and the shopkeeper shouted at the men inside, and hurried out to carry the grain and rice.

The guys had just had time to eat breakfast, and they had to put down the porridge bowl in their hands and rush out to work. It's not easy to find a job that can support your family, and if you slack off a little, you'll be fired, so no matter how hard and tired you are, no one dares to complain.

A white-skinned scholar struggled to carry the rice bag on his shoulder, and the weight made his legs tremble a little, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Hurry up, don't get in the way here!" The man waiting in the back urged impatiently, still thinking about his bowl of hot porridge.

The scholar gritted his teeth, but his steps were still a little staggering, hindering the way of others.

"Liang Shunna, this job is really not done by you as a scholar, if it weren't for the fact that you often took care of my business before, I really don't want to hire you, this shoulder can't be picked, the hand can't be lifted, a pot of rice, others will have opinions." The boss couldn't help but complain.

Liang Shun was squeezed aside by the people who rushed over from behind with his elbows, trying to stabilize his body, and then he had time to nod his head: "Thank you for taking the shopkeeper in, although I am not as strong as them, I am willing to rush to do this dirty work, and the big guys are more tolerant." ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and continued to check the accounts with his pen.

When Liang Shun took off the rice bag on his shoulder and trotted out, Noya, who was dressed as a man, walked over and threw the silver in his hand to him: "Follow me." ”

Liang Shun was a little puzzled, and looked at Noya and the two cold-faced clay guards behind her with vigilance.

"To give you a chance to make a fortune, will you come with me?"

Liang Shun looked at the silver in his hand, which was his income from fighting against the big bag here for nearly a year, gritted his teeth, and didn't say hello to the shopkeeper, so he followed behind Nuoya and went to the teahouse next door.

The shopkeeper shouted angrily behind him, but he only turned a deaf ear and did not look back.

"Who are you, what are you looking for me?" Liang Shun devoured the eighth bun before asking.

"You've been staying in Kyori and rarely go out, so it's no wonder you don't know me. But I've heard your uncle talk about you a lot. Noah said leisurely.

Liang Shun raised his head suddenly: "Do you know my uncle?" ”

Noya nodded: "I am from the Cui family of Cangzhou Mansion." ”

Liang Shun suddenly said: "I have heard my uncle mention it more than once, and he is an old friend of the Cui family." ”

"The head of the Cui family is the father of the next family."

Liang Shun arched his hand at Nuoya: "Fortunately, I heard my uncle say before his death that his business in Cangzhou Mansion is thanks to the care of the Cui family." ”

Noya smiled: "Master Liang also mentioned to me that his business in Beijing is also thanks to you. Thou art literate and hyphenated, but his right and left arm. ”

Liang Shun looked down at the dirt on his body, smiled bitterly, and changed the topic: "Cui Gongzi came to Beijing this time, why did he come to Beijing?" ”

"To tell you the truth, before Master Liang hurriedly returned to Beijing, he owed my Cui family a sum of money. Because he had a good relationship, he didn't make any written evidence, but only verbally agreed to send people from the palace to send him after he returned to Beijing. We've been waiting for almost three or four months, and we haven't heard from us.

We have always known that Master Liang is a person, and he is true to his words, but I am afraid that something will happen to the people of your mansion halfway, and we will be entangled in the future, so this time we came to the capital to buy goods, and deliberately went to the house. ”

This Liang Shun is the son and nephew of Liang Yuanwai who died unjustly, because his wife was jealous, he had nothing to do under his knees, so he was taken into the house since he was a child and raised as a stepson. He has always been clear about Liang Yuan's business dealings, and knows that the house has a good relationship with the Cui family in Cangzhou Mansion, so he has already believed Nuoya's words.

He sighed and said, "Now that you have seen it, I have been kicked out of the Liang family, and I still need to work as a coolie to support my family." The Liang family owes you a silver tael has nothing to do with me, and I can't help it. You just have to go to the tigress who deserves to be killed and ask for it. ”

Noah took a sip of tea and said with annoyance: "I naturally understand these truths, but we haven't made any evidence, your aunt is cunning and rude, and she doesn't admit it, so she pushes it clean." ”

Liang Shun snorted coldly: "That's the master who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, if you want to take out the silver taels from her hand, it's not easy." ”

Noya sighed: "We have only been friends for decades, and it is too raw to set up a note, who would have expected that Master Liang would die of a violent illness and leave so suddenly." Nowadays, even a lawsuit is difficult. ”

Liang Shun smiled bitterly: "Thinking that you invited me to tea and dinner, and gave me two taels of silver, I will advise you, simply admit this loss, roll up your luggage and go back to Cangzhou Mansion." ”

"Why?" Noya said unconvinced: "It is natural to repay debts. ”

Liang Shun poured a bowl of tea and wiped the corners of his mouth: "If there is heavenly reason, I don't have to run to the grain shop to fight the big bag, now I am the one who sits at Liang's house to eat and drink spicy food, where is the tigress's way to live?" ”

Noah couldn't help but be a little curious: "Why did Brother Tai say this?" ”

"The concubine of the Lian clan is now a person in the court, and the officials protect each other, where is there fairness at all?"

"It's only been a few months since Master Liang passed away, so how can the Lian family get a new love?!" Noah was indignant.

Liang Shun has always been accustomed to wearing fine clothes and food, showing off his might, but now he has fallen into such a depressed situation, swallowing his anger, and he has long been resentful in his heart. Therefore, he was not afraid, gritted his teeth and said: "Let's tell you the truth, do you think my uncle really died of a violent illness?" He was beaten to death by the tigress's concubine! ”

"Huh?" Noah was startled: "How is it possible?" ”

Liang Shun was inevitably a little distressed when he said it: "Uncle is running around all the year round, and the tigress water-based Yanghua has already hooked up with a man at home." I couldn't look past it, so I wrote to my uncle for a while.

The uncle came home alive, and happened to meet the pair of dogs and men, and in anger, he was furious. Who would have thought that the wild man was a little skilled, and he actually beat his uncle to death and declared an emergency. He also colluded with the Lian family to drive me out of the Liang Mansion and rob my Liang family's Wanguan family property. ”

"Are you telling the truth? Are there witnesses? Noah looked incredulous.

"When my uncle was carried out at that time, although the blood stains on his body had been cleaned up, I heard from the subordinates who wrapped him that his ribs had been broken, and I am afraid that his internal organs were not complete, and his neck bones were also broken alive, and his death was miserable."

Noya was so angry that he patted the case: "Is there any royal law in this?" As a nephew, Master Liang has the grace of nurturing you, and you don't take revenge, and you watch the enemy live happily. How can your uncle rest in peace under the Nine Springs? ”

A sentence hit Liang Shun's sore feet, and he said indignantly: "Do you think I am willing to be the unfaithful and unfilial son and nephew, and be poked in the back, do you think I am willing to watch the adulterer and the woman seize the property that should belong to me, but I need to look at people's faces and sell coolies to earn a living?" That adulterer is a Beijing official, and he has power in his hands, and I can't even enter the door of the yamen! also provoked a board in vain, what else can you do besides swallowing your anger? ”

Listening to Liang Shun speak like this, Noah knew that he was also a mercenary villain. He kept saying that it was for his uncle's revenge, but he was afraid that it was just to plot the Liang family's property. Noah, who was still a little soft-hearted, sneered in his heart and became more determined in his plan.

She leaned back in her chair and pinched her eyebrows with her fingertips, making a thoughtful hesitation. Then he gritted his teeth and said: "If there is someone in my capital, he can accept your case and judge it impartially, do you dare to sue?!" ”

Liang Shunhu looked Nuoya up and down suspiciously: "Are you willing to help me?" ”

Noah understands that such people are more suspicious, and they can't afford to be unprofitable, and they usually think about others with such a mentality, so they shook their heads calmly: "No, I'm helping myself." ”

"Yourself?"

"Yes!" Noah leaned over and whispered, "I'll take care of your case for you, and promise to win this lawsuit and bring the dog man and woman to justice." In the future, the Liang family's Wanguan family property will naturally belong to you. But, ...... the money you owe your uncle for the goods? ”

"I'm out, I'm out, naturally I'm out!" Liang Shun couldn't wait to nod his head to cater to him: "As long as I inherit my uncle's inheritance, I will pay all the expenses and double them!" ”

"Okay, refreshing! That's it! Nuoya called the guards outside the door and ordered to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone: "I'm sorry, Liang Gongzi." Words have no evidence, and we stand up for it. ”

Liang Shun has no doubt that he has him, if the Liang family's family business can be owned by himself, what if he talks about a little silver tael, even if he divides half of her? He is tantamount to a desperate situation, gearing up, and a little impatient.

"Everything is subject to Cui Gongzi's arrangement."

The guards brought in pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Noya groaned slightly, but only a few strokes: There are now 10,000 taels of silver owed by the Liang family's warehouse.

Sign the next month, the day, and after receiving the pen, hand the IOU to Liang Shun for a look.

Liang Shun was speechless: "So many? Cui Gongzi has a big appetite. ”

Nuoya smiled slightly: "The Liang family does not count the cash in circulation, only the land and shops are accounted for, how much is the value, I believe Liang Gongzi should know better than below." ”

Liang Shun is also a person who has been in the business field, and hesitated: "The matter has not yet been resolved, if I fight this IOU, what if you don't believe in your words and only ask me for silver taels?" ”

Noya scoffed: "Squeeze your bones dry, you won't be worth this ten thousand taels." What's more, what is marked on my IOU is the Liang family's warehouse, and the debt is owed by the Liang family's family. If I can't help you get your uncle's property back, the IOU has nothing to do with you. ”

Liang Shun secretly calculated in his heart how many fields and shops the Liang family still has now, and he was silent for a while, and it was difficult to decide.

Noya accepted the IOU and sneered: "I originally thought you were cheerful and a person who planned big things, but I didn't think you would be so indecisive." If you don't want to do this deal, I have someone above me, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to get back the 10,000 taels of silver from the Liang family? ”

Liang Shun hurriedly stood up, blocked Nuoya's way out, and nodded like pecking rice: "I sign, I sign!" ”

He took the IOU quickly, signed it, pressed his handprint, and handed it back to Noah with both hands full of hope.

"Look, when is the right time for me to go to the Yamen?"

Nuoya accepted the IOU and smiled slightly: "I'm going to visit a few elders in Beijing, check up and down, and send someone to the grain store to inform you later." You hurry up and prepare the papers and evidence, keep it strictly confidential, and we will be caught off guard by killing the concubine, so as not to have many dreams at night. ”

Liang Shun didn't lift his buttocks: "Is the work of the grain store done by me as a dignified person?" I'll be waiting for you right here. As for the witnesses, I have a spectrum in my heart. ”

Noya was not reluctant, so she explained clearly to Liang Shun like this, and went straight out of the teahouse.
