Chapter Forty-Seven: Sending Charcoal in the Snow
"This Liu family is actually like this...... It's a bit unkind. Hearing Kang Youfu say this, Zhu Shencheng's face was not good-looking, and he immediately felt unfair for Kang Youfu.
"Besides, the relationship between the two of you for so many years, it is really unreasonable not to give this little affection. Moreover, even if Liu Shancheng refuses to help, there is no need to send you away in this way, right? The difficulty is to put it bluntly, it's better now, first fool you, and then not let you in? ”
"By the way, what are you talking about, who is Liu Qi? Is he from the Liu family? ”
"Liu Qi is the chief of our side, I heard that he was related to the Liu family, and he brought someone to our Kang's house that day, and later took my father and younger brother away." Kang Youfu replied.
Zhu Shencone slapped his thigh, and suddenly realized: "That's right!" Maybe there is a shadow of the Liu family behind this matter, otherwise how could it be so coincidental? ”
"Wouldn't it? Although Master Liu is not a good person, there is no need to harm our Kang family, besides, their Liu family is a rich family, and our Kang family is a businessman with small crafts, so there is no reason to do this. Kang Youfu was stunned for a moment, and felt strange for a while.
"Hehe, Liu Shancheng may not look down on your Kang family's little business, but what about Liu Qi? Can you guarantee that he didn't look at it? The more I think about this, the more strange I feel, I have heard of choking people to death when eating in the world, but it is the first time I have heard of eating tofu and eating dead people. ”
"Once the matter of your Kang family's tofu eating dead people is really decided, do you think the Kang family's workshop can still protect it? And your father, your brother, this crime is at least a prison sentence, and the Kang family will definitely not be able to defend it at that time. ”
"I see that your workshop and this shop, the market is not bad, no matter how bad it is, it is worth more than 100 taels, right? If you don't do a tofu shop, no matter what kind of business you do, you won't be bad if you change the storefront, not to mention that there is a house in the back. ”
Zhu Shencone's words made Kang Youfu's face cloudy, Kang Youfu is a smart person, there was such an incident at home before, which made him mess up, and he has been busy trying to find a way to solve this matter for the past few days, but he didn't think of these for a while.
Now that Zhu Shencone has helped him analyze it, the more Kang Youfu thinks about it, the more it makes sense. Especially what kind of person Liu Qi is, what kind of relationship he has with the Liu family, plus his Kang family's tofu workshop and backyard house, as well as the interactions between the Kang family and Liu Qi over the years, etc., thinking about it, his face became darker and darker.
"Liu Qi! The Liu family! Kang Youfu gritted his teeth, he now concluded that this matter was a trap that Liu Qi gave to the Kang family from beginning to end, and as for Liu Shancheng, there is a chance that Liu Qi is also Liu Qi's accomplice.
The Kang family and the Liu family have been friends for several generations, especially Kang Youfu often sends tofu to the Liu family, and is very familiar with the Liu family, and knows very well how the Liu family started in private, and understands the dirtiness behind the glamour of the Liu family more than outsiders.
But he definitely didn't expect that the Liu family would actually help Liu Qi deal with their Kang family? When the truth was revealed, the anger in Kang Youfu's heart was about to ignite, he gritted his teeth with hatred for Liu Qi, but what he hated even more was Liu Shancheng and the Liu family, if it wasn't for Liu Shancheng, a hypocrite, where would Liu Qi have the courage to set up this situation for their Kang family?
Gritting his teeth, Kang Youfu really wanted to find a knife to chop Liu Qi and Liu Shancheng alive.
It's a pity that this is just a thought, not to mention whether he can do it, even if he can do it, what good will it do for the current thing? You must know that his father and younger brother are still locked up in the yamen, the Kang family has reached the point of storm, he can't watch his father and younger brother, including the entire Kang family, end like this, right?
Taking a deep breath, Kang Youfu tried to suppress his anger, and after his mind calmed down, he felt a wave of powerlessness hit him again.
Even if he knew that the Kang family's affairs were done by the Liu family and Liu Qi, what about him? Their Kang family is just a small common people, but the Liu family is a big family, the two are not of the same level at all, let alone revenge, now even their father and younger brother are pinched in the hands of others, no matter how you want to rescue people is the most important thing.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Shencone asked with concern.
Kang Youfu told Zhu Shencone what he was thinking with a sad face, and after he finished speaking, Zhu Shencone did not speak immediately, but sat quietly and pondered.
After a while, Zhu Shencone suddenly said that he might have a way to help him solve this problem.
"Sixth Master, you ...... What did you just say? How can you help? Did I hear me right? Kang Youfu felt for a moment that he had a problem with his ears? I couldn't help but ask.
"You heard it right, since the county magistrate hasn't come to court yet, maybe I can help ......." Zhu Shencone is colored.
As soon as the words fell, Kang Youfu knelt up at Zhu Shencone with a plop, and his head hit the ground with a bang: "Sixth Master, as long as you can help our Kang family, I will make you a cow and a horse in the future!" ”
"Hey, what are you doing here? Get up, get up! Zhu Shencone was taken aback, he didn't think that Kang Youfu would kneel when he said he would kneel, and he would kowtow when he said kowtow. By the time he reacted and dragged Kang Youfu to get up, this kid had already kowtowed to himself several times.
Dragged him up, looking at his already swollen forehead, Zhu Shencone didn't know what to say for a while. He patted Kang Youfu on the shoulder and said, "Why bother? You and I have known each other for a few days, and we are all friends. Since something like this happened to your family, wouldn't it be normal to help as a friend? Besides, I just said that I might be able to help, but I have to find someone to help that step, whether I can help, or whether I can completely clear the grievances of your Kang family, I don't count. ”
"Sixth Master, just with your words, I am so grateful." Kang Youfu clenched Zhu Shencone's hand with tears in his eyes, and said excitedly: "I really can't do anything about this, I can only ask you, don't worry, whether you can help or not, I still owe you this favor, if I can really bring my father and brother back and get through the difficulty of the Kang family, I will be blessed with you as a cow and a horse in the future, and let you move." ”
"It's heavy, it's heavy......." Zhu Shencone patted his hand lightly and comforted: "Don't worry about this, how about Rong and me for some time?" ”
"Okay, please Sixth Master." Kang Youfu nodded again and again, with a grateful face. But then he looked a little embarrassed, he asked Zhu Shencone to sit for a while, went to the back first, and came back after a while to get a dozen taels of silver and some leather money, he was embarrassed to tell Zhu Shencone that the family has entrusted a lot of relationships with his father and younger brother these days, and has also done a lot, and there is not much money in his hand, so he can only make up for these, I hope Zhu Shencone does not dislike it.
If it is not enough, Zhu Shencone said a number, he will find a way to borrow some, and he will have to save his father and younger brother no matter what.
Looking at these broken silver, Zhu Shencone sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said that there is no need to do this, since it is to help, there is no need to do this, and whether this thing can be done or not is said twice, and it is not too late to talk about it when the matter is done.
Listening to Zhu Shencone say this, Kang Youfu was even more moved, their Kang family has been in Pingyang for many years, and they really do tofu trading on weekdays, the main focus is word-of-mouth and honest management, whether it is the original great-ancestor or to his father Kang Tai, including Kang Youfu himself, all of them are kind and do not cause trouble.
But who would have thought that when the Kang family encountered something, an old customer like the Liu family, who had been with him for decades, not only did not help but also fell into the ground, but Zhu Shencong, a friend who had known him for a long time, drew a knife to help at this time, and even refused to accept the money he specially took out.
Although the money given was not much, he was blessed and kept an eye in advance, and did not take out all the money left in the family, but only took some of it. But a dozen taels of silver is not a small amount, and if ordinary people save money, it is enough for a whole year.
At this moment, he told himself in his heart that if Zhu Shencone could really help the Kang family escape this difficulty and save his father and younger brother, then what if he gave Zhu Shencone more than 100 catties?
The grace of saving his life is greater than the sky, he is blessed not to be ungrateful, a dignified man, a mouthful of spit and a nail, and the words he said smashed on the ground.
