Chapter 5: Debt Repayment

"Ahem......"

Coming out of the eunuch's mansion, the sky was like ink, and there were only faint lights on the street.

Xu Qian put his hands behind his back and coughed desperately.

Deng Jian immediately said nervously: "Xu Xiaoguan, your body is fine, if you don't take a break on the road, the villain will give you a beating on the back." โ€

Pounding the back...... Xu Qian looked at him gloomily, he was afraid that Deng Jian would beat him to death if he was cold.

"Not necessarily." This time it was Xu Qian's turn to speak very briefly, then he paused, cleared his throat, and said, "There is still ......"

"What else?" Deng Jian smiled heavily, although he didn't know what happened between Xu Qian and Wang Gonggong, but he recognized the current shape very clearly, Xu Qian was now his top boss, Xu Qian asked him to go east, he had to go east. As a good lackey, he had to adjust his mindset to adapt to this complex and ever-changing society.

Xu Qian said very sincerely: "Brother Deng, you just called me Xu Guanren, and you claimed to be a villain, which is too foreign." What are we? We are brothers! As a brother, there is no afterlife in this life, how can you see the outside world like this, you just said this, my heart is cold when I say it, I have always respected you and respected you, when you are my big brother Deng......"

Deng Jian was moved, although he didn't know if it was true, but at least he pretended to be very similar: "No, no, I should call you Brother Xu, although the younger brother is a few years older than you, but in my heart, you are like my dead brother." โ€

Bastard...... Xu Qian pulled down his face, this guy actually said that he looked like a dead ghost.

However, Xu Qian obviously didn't like to go straight with a single knife, so he patted Deng Jian on the shoulder: "With your words, I'm relieved!" โ€

Deng Jian grabbed Xu Qian's arm and burst into tears: "Brother Xu......"

Xu Qian immediately said: "By the way, what about my money bag, the money bag was just handed over to you for safekeeping, I don't know if it's still there?" โ€

Deng Jian patted his forehead, as if he suddenly remembered, and hurriedly took out Xu Qian's money bag, and said with a smile: "Fang Cai is afraid that you will lose, so I, as a brother, will keep it for you for the time being, and now it will be returned to Zhao." โ€

Xu Qian took the money bag, flipped through it, and then his face was not good-looking.

Deng Jian hurriedly said: "Why is Brother Xu depressed? โ€

Xu Qian sighed and said, "I obviously remember that I have a total of fifteen or sixteen taels of silver in my money bag, why are there only four or five taels of silver and dozens of copper plates left now?" โ€

"Heaven and earth conscience, doesn't Brother Xu suspect that I took your silver? I, Deng Jian, am anxious and righteous, and never do anything unscrupulous, obviously when Brother Xu gave me the money bag, there was only so much silver in it, Brother Xu must clearly see that he can't wronged me, my reputation is like my chastity, it is very important. โ€

Deng Jian hurriedly explained that he was 'kind' to keep the money bag for the surnamed Xu, but the surname Xu directly added ten taels of silver to the money bag, ten taels, where did he have the money to compensate?

Xu Qian's face changed as soon as he said it, and said: "What do you mean by this, it seems that I don't talk about brotherhood and deliberately framed you?" So that's what you think of me? No, I'll go back and ask the prince now......" He shook his leg and turned to leave.

Deng Jian was taken aback, and hurriedly reassured him, saying: "Naturally, I didn't doubt what Brother Xu meant, and slowly, slowly, there is something to say." Okay, I admit it, it's me who is not good, I ate lard and was blinded, I'm sorry for my brother, in fact, I was cheap for a while, and I took Brother Xu's silver to the gambling house, and I lost a mess, and I admit to the ten taels of silver that are still missing. I'm so bad, I've lost my conscience, how can I gamble with my brother's money, Brother Xu has a lot, don't worry about me, by the way, what is the relationship between the prince and Brother Xu...... Why? โ€

Xu Qian said solemnly: "Don't ask more questions that shouldn't be asked." โ€

Deng Jian stopped asking for a moment, and glanced at Xu Qian in awe, this kid really has to be sรจ now, and he actually knows the secrets of the prince, it seems that he can't be offended.

Xu Qian's face softened, and said, "Since you want to compensate, I won't stop you, and my brother still has to settle accounts, right?" โ€

Deng Jian burst into tears, and the chick pecked the rice and nodded.

Xu Qian said again: "By the way, do you have pen and ink on you?" โ€

"Pen and ink, what do you want to do with pen and ink?" Deng Jian became vigilant again.

Xu Qian said: "Naturally, it is good to write an IOU, in black and white, it's not that you can't trust your own brother, but you really need to have a rule for everything, no?" It doesn't matter if you don't, you send me home first, and when you get to my house, you can write, don't be unhappy, manly man, cheer up. โ€

Deng Jian desperately stopped the tears that were about to spurt out, and forced a smile: "I am very cheering, I am very happy, I have the honor to burn yellow paper with Brother Xu as brothers, the ancestral grave of the Deng family is smoking, haha...... Haha......"

Xu Qian shook his head, it was too fake.

A lone lamp, a pot of old wine.

After a bowl of wine, Xu Chang, who was drinking, grunted, and his eyes were a little sluggish.

The corners of his mouth showed a little misery, Ying Ming I, gave birth to such a son, if this son learned half of his shrewdness, how could he cause such a big disaster?

In fact, after the incident, Xu Chang was not idle, he was busy all day today, first in the yali, the master and the warden in the yali were well comforted, and then went to the street to arrest a merchant who resold medicinal materials, and framed his medicinal materials for being adulterated with poison.

The reason why I went to arrest the merchants was because the merchants were outsiders after all and had no background in the local area. And the merchant resells medicinal materials, which can be a lie, saying that the root of the problem is not in the prescription, but the person who bought the prescription at the same time to catch the medicine, and the real problem lies in the medicinal materials.

The people in the yamen waited for some benefits, so everyone turned a blind eye, anyway, it was just fooling, the county lord wanted to fool, so couldn't the eunuch and the prince fool?

I thought that the matter would end soon, with a scapegoat, there were also people on the prince's side to take it to be angry, everyone was happy, the only thing that was not so lucky was the merchant, but Xu Chang didn't care, who called him unlucky and came to Qiantang to sell medicine?

But when Xu Chang came back, his son was gone, and the neighbors inquired and said that the prince had been invited, and what Xu Chang was most worried about still happened.

Not to mention the day's hard work, and a lot of floating wealth, but the most important thing is that his son is still gone.

My son is gone, is home still home?

After a lifetime of hard work, there is nothing left.

Wronged, wronged, what kind of sin did I create in my previous life, this unfilial son, unfilial son.

Xu Chang sighed in his heart, another cup of bitter wine, now most of this unfilial son has been beaten to death by the prince, I hope to leave a whole corpse, tomorrow I should order a good coffin......

Suddenly, Xu Chang suddenly stopped moving, his aftermath was only halfway through, and then his jaw was about to fall, and his whole body was petrified.

At the gate, Xu Qian suddenly appeared and looked at the stunned Xu Chang with a signature smile.

"Dad, I'm back, why didn't I even close the door of the compound today, what if I entered the thief? There are so many bad people now, our Xu family is a good family, and we have been robbed...... Are you drinking again? I have said a long time ago, don't drink alcohol, a pound of wine is more than ten dollars, with this money, it is better to think about marrying a daughter-in-law for me, now marrying a daughter-in-law is getting more and more expensive......"

Xu Chang was still dumbfounded, still motionless.

Xu Qian was frightened, and hurriedly rushed up to stroke Xu Chang's chest, shouting: "Dad, what's wrong with you, you can't die, I still count on you to support me for a lifetime, marry me a daughter-in-law, and buy me a house......"

Xu Chang woke up all of a sudden, not only did he wake up, but even the wine woke up, his face was twitching, wronged, wronged, why did he give birth to such an unfilial son.

Xu Chang's way of greeting his son was very special, he took out the ring ruler on his waist very shamefully, and then slapped Xu Qian without hesitation, and then scolded: "You are not a filial son, you are not a filial son!" โ€

Xu Qian hugged his head and ran out, broke out of the door, and after a while, he looked into the house with his head probed, and saw that Xu Chang's anger had subsided, so he came in cautiously and said, "Dad......"

"Come in." Xu Chang was deflated.

Xu Chang also found Deng Jian, who was gloating on the side, his brows furrowed again, and said, "Who is he?" โ€

Xu Qian said: "His name is Deng Jian, and he is me...... My righteous brother. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, it's just a miscellaneous." โ€

Deng Jian burst into tears, and hurriedly saluted Xu Chang, saying, "I've seen Uncle Xu." โ€

"Hmm...... Hmm...... "Xu Chang is a very snobbish person, but he still can't figure out Deng Jian's identity, and Xu Qian's words are very unreliable, so he still put on a very pleasant appearance and said: "No courtesy, no courtesy, don't be so polite." โ€

Deng Jian is energetic, one thing drops one thing, the thief surnamed Xu eats him to death, and Xu's father can stop this thief, he has to take a good stammer, maybe he can use it.

He was about to stammer, but Xu Qian said to him: "Brother Deng, you go out, help us take care of the home tonight, your brother Xu is too upright, so he has offended a lot of bad people, I'm afraid that someone will come to assassinate you at night, you are not allowed to be lazy, watch honestly." โ€

Deng Jian scolded in his heart, Uncle Deng dignified the third-class thug under the eunuch Wang Gonggong to show you the family nursing home, do you have the value of being assassinated? His face twitched, and in the end he was determined to swallow his anger, the thugs of the prince's family were not only powerful in fists and feet, but also had a lot of ability to steer the rudder when he saw the wind.

As soon as Deng Jian left, Xu Changcai asked worriedly: "You saw the prince, why did you come back intact?" Also, this surnamed Deng doesn't look like a good person at first glance, what is his origin? Didn't Dad tell you before? Don't bring all the indiscriminate people to your home, make bad friends, and be unlucky for a lifetime. โ€

In fact, Deng Jian did not go far, and Uncle Xu's evaluation of him vaguely came into his ears. His whole body was cold, his eyes were blurred, he raised his head at a forty-five degree angle, looked up at the starry sky, and a tear the size of a bean slid down his cheek, dripping wet his clothes. Then he took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "The surname Xu really doesn't have a good thing." โ€
