Chapter 55: The Old Fox (Seeking Follow-up)
Pei Hongyu sneaked back to the Song family's house.
After learning that my sister had slept because of a tiring day, I was relieved, passed by the inner house, and before I could return to the house, I heard an angry voice behind me: "Stop!" ”
“……”
Pei Hongyu's heart trembled when he was called by this voice, and when he turned around, he saw his old father looking at him with an unkind expression, and his heart was raised to his throat...
"Where have you been today?"
Pei Yingli looked his line up and down, and reprimanded him coldly: "Do you know that today is the day of your sister-in-law's funeral?" Well? ”
"I... I ......"
Pei Hongyu was already worried in his heart, but now he was even more flustered when he was reprimanded by his old father, and stumbled and said: "I... I met a few friends here and went to drink with them. ”
"Drinking with friends?"
Pei Yingli sneered when he heard this, and said, "I see that you didn't go to eat and drink with your friends, but to the gambling house, right?" ”
It is said that knowing his son is Mo Ruo's father, Pei Yingli knows that his son has been spoiled since he was a child, and he has been infected with gambling habits, and he can't quit...
In the past few days in the Song family, he also knew that his son would often sneak out of the door to play a few games in the gambling house.
But because every win or loss is not big, and he also has something to do, he turns a blind eye to it and does not take it to heart.
But today is the day of Old Man Song's funeral, this kid actually slipped away to gamble again, and he came back unkempt and secretly, obviously he was beaten, which is enough to show that the gambling is not small! And it caused trouble!
How can he, as a father, not be angry?
"I... I ......"
Pei Hongyu owed a huge gambling debt of 30,000 taels of silver, and he was already flustered, but now that he was reprimanded by his old father, his eyes were evasive, and he stumbled and didn't know how to answer.
"Bastard thing!"
Seeing his posture, Pei Yingli also strengthened his guess, and said coldly: "Are you causing trouble outside!" ”
"Dad, you save me!!"
Pei Hongyu saw that the old father had seen his situation, so he ran over and knelt on the ground, hugged the old father's legs, and cried with snot and tears: "Dad, you must save me!" ”
“……”
Seeing this, Pei Yingli's heart suddenly suddenly, he subconsciously looked around, and after seeing that there was no one around, he reprimanded in a suppressed voice: "Shameful things, get up!" Go to the house and say! ”
Although Pei Hongyu is not smart, he also knows that outside is not the place to talk, and when he saw his old father walking into the room quickly, he hurriedly wiped the tears on his face, got up and followed...
When you get to the room...
Pei Hongyu's mother, Xu Shi, saw that the father and son looked different, and hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Master, Hong'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
Pei Yingli locked the door, and saw his son hiding behind his mother with a worried look wiping his tears, and he was even more angry, and immediately scolded loudly: "Bastard, you give me an honest explanation, what are you causing trouble outside!" ”
“……”
Xu was because his mother was beside him, Pei Hongyu also had some confidence to speak, and said with a dodgy look: "Just... I owe some gambling debts. ”
"Just gambling debts and nothing else?"
"Nope..."
“……”
Pei Yingli heard that he only owed some gambling debts outside and didn't cause anything else, so he was also secretly relieved and asked, "How much do you owe?" ”
"Three ......"
Pei Hongyu stretched out his hand and three fingers, but he didn't dare to say the word 'ten thousand taels' after three.
"Three thousand taels?"
Pei Yingli raised his eyebrows when he saw this, thinking that he owed three thousand taels, so he pointed at his nose angrily and scolded: "When did you gamble so big, a loser!" Well? On your knees! ”
“……”
Pei Hongyu fell to his knees under the frightened feet, and said tremblingly: "Dad, it's not three thousand taels, it's... It's thirty thousand taels. ”
“……”
Pei Yingli was stunned when he heard this, stared at his eyes and asked with a slightly deformed voice, "How much?" ”
"Three... Thirty thousand taels..."
Pei Hongyu closed his eyes, shrunk his neck, as if he didn't dare to look at his old father's gaze anymore, and said, "Dad, I... I owe thirty thousand taels! ”
"Sir...... Master!! ”
Pei Yingli was so suffocated by a breath that he almost didn't catch his breath, his eyes rolled and he was about to fall, and his wife screamed when she saw this...
"Daddy!!"
Pei Hongyu was also frightened by his old father's state, and hurriedly leaned over to help, smoothing his chest and beating his back...
And Pei Yingli came back to his senses, raised his hand and slapped him in the face, and scolded with a little trembling voice: "You brute!" ”
Seeing his son covering his cheeks and falling to the ground, and spitting out a bloody broken tooth in his mouth, Pei Yingli still felt that the beating was too light, and he stepped forward to kick two more feet to vent his anger...
"Master, I can't help it, I can't help it!"
Seeing that his son was beaten and vomited blood, Xu's heart was like a knife, and he cried and stepped forward to hug Pei Yingli and shouted: "Master, Hong'er is still young, I can't help it, I can't help it!" ”
While she stopped Pei Yingli, she admonished her son: "Hongyu, you quickly admit your mistakes with the master, you quickly admit your mistakes with the master!" ”
"Dad, I was wrong. I really know it's wrong! ”
Pei Hongyu turned over and knelt on the ground again, crying with a handful of snot and tears: "Dad, I won't dare next time, I'll never gamble again, save me..."
"You loser! Brute!! ”
Pei Yingli also knew that his family relied on such a son to continue the incense, and he couldn't really kill him, so he calmed down a little after kicking a few feet to vent his anger.
He breathed a deep sigh of relief, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and scolded: "You can repeat to me the things you have encountered in the past few days and the people you have come into contact with from beginning to end, and you can't leave any details behind!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Pei Hongyu nodded like pounding garlic, and honestly told all the things he had encountered in the past few days, the people he had met, the prosperity of his luck and the things he thought in his heart.
Pei Yingli's eyes condensed slightly...
He is also an old man, and when he heard that his son has been prosperous recently, he has made friends, and he can borrow 30,000 taels of silver from the gambling house, so he naturally sensed that something was wrong...
"Anything else missing?"
Pei Yingli roughly guessed in his heart that his son must have been killed as a pig, and asked with a cold snort: "For example, before this, did you provoke anyone?" ”
"Mess with whom?"
Pei Hongyu blinked blankly, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and responded, "It's gone." ”
"Be honest!"
When Pei Yingli saw his posture, he thought he was hiding it, and stepped forward to slap him again...
Seeing his son covering his cheeks aggrievedly, he reprimanded impatiently: "You rammer is obviously set by someone, when the pig doesn't know it, it's all dying, do you dare to hide it?" ”
"Really... Not really! ”
Pei Hongyu sobbed aggrievedly: "I'm not familiar with life here, usually except here, I have only been to the gambling house, I know that my father and mother have some plans, so I am polite to everyone, and I have never made enemies with others." ”
"Master, stop fighting..."
Xu Shi on the side wiped his tears in distress, and said hatefully: "It must be those who are indiscriminately in the gambling house who look at Hong'er with a simple mind and deceived him, if you want to find them, you can find them to be angry, what to do when you beat Hong'er..."
"Stupid!"
Pei Yingli saw her mother hugging her head and crying, and she waved her sleeves and paced angrily, and her old face was twisted into a ball...
"If this loser inadvertently provokes someone who can't be messed with outside, let's find someone to make peace from the middle, and it's not difficult to do."
"The key is that this loser didn't provoke anyone, but he was killed as a pig in the gambling house, which is a big problem!"
"Use your pig brain to think about it, how much money does the gambling house make a year by pumping water? Can you casually take out 30,000 taels of silver and lend it to others? ”
Pei Yingli took a deep breath, cleared his thoughts and muttered, "Who is playing tricks on us?" ”
"Who's behind the casino?"
"Before we came to Heyang County, the forces of the rivers and lakes here had already been unified by the Qingsha Gang..."
"Behind the gambling houses of all sizes in Heyang County, there should be people from the Qingsha Gang..."
"If the people of the Qingsha Gang are behind the scenes, it is understandable that the gambling house can take out 30,000 taels of silver to set up a pig killing plate..."
"It's broken!!"
He seemed to suddenly think of something, and said with a slight gaze: "I suspect now that someone in the Qingsha Gang is eyeing us, or rather, someone in the Qingsha Gang is eyeing the foundation of the Song family!" ”
"That's... That ......"
When Pei Hongyu heard his old father's speculation, he also shrunk his neck and asked, "Then how are we okay?" ”
"How's that good?"
Pei Yingli snorted lightly, and his slightly condensed eyes were like a treacherous fox...
He seemed to have thought of a countermeasure, and sneered: "The people of the Qingsha Gang also covet the Song family's beautiful soup, but it is not in vain that I thought of a strategy to ensure both drought and flood before I came......
