Chapter 288: A rake
Bai Xiwan frowned, and said: "Now that the incident happened suddenly, it is difficult for us to let go of the important things and find out who framed us. β
"That's what you're talking about. Bai Yongchun sighed when he heard this, and said, "Otherwise, I will tell the woman in the house the most annoying thing about this kind of thing first." Before they could wait for the matter, they told them that they blew up the pot first, and they couldn't think of a solution to the problem, and they only knew how to hold them accountable on the sidelines. So why don't they go to support their families if they have the ability, but they have to rely on our masters at this time. β
Bai Xiwan felt a sigh of relief in her heart when she heard this. Bai Yongchun said so, as if she was busy raising her family on weekdays. In fact, when he is a son, doesn't he know what his father is like?
It's as if he has paid for this family, but in fact, since he can remember, he doesn't remember what this father has paid for the family, but he often makes some troubles. The patience of his life has been used on women, and when he is rarely close to his children, he touches his head when he is happy and kicks away when he is unhappy. What would their children have if they hadn't had a grandmother and a mother? This father clearly treats his children like kittens and puppies.
If it is said that he is raising a family, this person has never done serious things. But almost every year, the family has to take out a large amount of money to entertain him. In the past, when I was an official, I often lingered in the eight alleys of Qinlou Chuguan, eating flowers and wine was commonplace, and it was common for me to make a secret knot with people outside, and it was common to rely on silver to settle the incident.
Bai Xiwan felt that his father, with him and without him, the fundamental difference was with, if there was no this person, the family might be more peaceful.
Bai Xiwan thought about it a lot, in fact, it was just between the electric transfers, no matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, he didn't dare to conflict with Bai Yongchun Listening to Bai Yongchun say that the Zhang family and the old lady, he also nodded very headedly, "What my father said, you are the head of the family, don't really worry about them, anyway, it is up to my father to solve the problem in the end." The woman's opinion is not to be worried. β
Bai Yongchun's words were very ironing in his son's words, and he was no longer angry at this time, and said instead: "You said that we were cheated, I actually feel this way, but I really can't think of anyone who will do this to us, the deposit is six thousand taels of silver, which is enough for your sisters to go out of the cabinet twice." With so much money, many families can't save it in their lifetime, what kind of people are so perverted and use silver to trap us. β
Bai Xiwan only cares about reading, although he socializes with people, but most of his friends are similar to his status and habits, and he rarely participates in family affairs.
Bai Xiwan was silent and said, "Could it be my father's opponent in officialdom?"
"No, it won't. Bai Yongchun rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "Although your father doesn't have any great ability, he has been kind to people all his life, and he rarely has been a human road, let alone doing some unvirtuous things such as digging graves and digging graves. Isn't it too naΓ―ve to say that this counts the people of our family? β
Bai Xiwan also felt that what Bai Yongchun said made sense. Although his father is not a good man and a woman, and it is impossible to be completely kind to others, but in the end he is not a person who causes trouble everywhere, and it is impossible to do things that go too far.
But......
Thinking like this, Bai Xidu's heart beat a drum.
Could it be that the father has trampled the big girl of whose family? The family holds a grudge, and they can't get a bargain when they denounce it in person, and they can't get angry in their hearts, so they use silver to smash it?
Bai Xiwan immediately felt that his analysis was possible for his friends, Bai Yongchun couldn't do anything else to kill people and set fires, but it was really very likely that Yu would do such a thing in terms of women.
Bai Xidui thought about this, so he peeked at Bai Yongchun.
Bai Yongchun was also frowning and pondering at this time. As soon as he saw Bai Xiwan looking over, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "What did you think of?"
Bai Xiwan shook his head and said: "No matter who this person is, his methods are too vicious, and we still have some foundation in our family. β
When Bai Yongchun heard this, he nodded and said, "That's right." The question now is whether to report it to the government. β
Bai Xiwan thought for a while and said: "The report to the government must be told, but these things should also be disposed of, you said that there are so many cattle and sheep, where are we going to put them, we still have to find the government to help think of ideas." β
Bai Yongchun nodded.
"Do you think it's possible that this person didn't come to pick up the goods because of the temporary delay? Maybe he couldn't get the remaining 14,000 taels of silver?
"This ......" Bai Xiwan thought and shook his head: "Didn't you say that this family and everyone had moved? It wouldn't be so completely hidden, even if they were going to move, our Hou Mansion hadn't moved the place, couldn't they come to deliver a letter? I think it's better not to take chances." β
Bai Yongchun sighed heavily.
"It's come to this, and I really can't take chances. β
Speaking of this, Bai Yongchun looked at Steward Zhang, who was standing silently with his hands down.
"Old Zhangtou, you said, you are also a lot of old people, how can you still see this kind of thing?"
Bai Yongchun asked very usually.
However, Bai Xiwan and Steward Zhang both raised their eyes in surprise and looked at Bai Yongchun.
Steward Zhang laughed with him, and a layer of sweat was already breaking out on his body, "Boss, you are really joking." Didn't you decide this matter at the beginning? When I came into the capital quickly, you also met the person surnamed Zhou, which was the paperwork, and you nodded to sign it. β
Bai Yongchun snorted and said, "I can trust you old men, but I can't hold back you old men and refuse to fight for me." Now that there is a good chance that someone is harming our family, how can you trust you, how can I not suspect that you are colluding with those people?"
Steward Zhang's face was already suffocated, and his breath was suffocated in his chest, and he couldn't breathe for a while.
Bai Xiwan hurriedly helped Steward Zhang to sit down on the side, patted his chest to give the old man a relief, and he already disagreed with his father's approach.
This old man is also a person who has followed their family all his life, and he is very upright, although he will also fish for oil and water on weekdays, but in this position, he should have this heart as the owner, and allow his subordinates to get some oil and water.
If you look away in business and fail, that's a problem of your own vision, because you don't have the ability, where can you put all the fault on your subordinates?
What's more, you still have to rely on such a large amount of money to an ordinary person?
Although their family will lose tens of thousands of taels of silver because of this mistake, maybe even the shop will have to be sold out. But in the end, the family will not be ruined, and there is still the possibility of turning over if you slow down.
But an ordinary person, if such a large sum of silver is pressed on his head, he will not be able to turn over in a few lifetimes. An ordinary person may not be able to earn two taels of silver a year, that is, those big girls in their family, although the monthly money is higher, it is twelve taels a year, and they can save less than 1,000 taels in a lifetime without eating or drinking.
Tens of thousands of taels at once, isn't this not leaving a way for people to live! If this fault is left to Old Man Zhang, I am afraid that their whole family will have to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river!
"Steward Zhang, don't take it to heart. My father said it casually in anger. Bai Xiwan comforted Old Man Zhang.
Bai Yongchun snorted: "Did I say it casually? Which ear did you hear that I said it casually? This kind of dog minion, he didn't do things carefully, and he came to report at will without finding out the situation, and I had to be tricked, should I let him go easily?"
When Steward Zhang heard this, he was already in tears, full of anger and injustice, and he didn't dare to say it in front of Bai Yongchun, so he only dared to scold in his heart: "I have eyes without beads, and if I follow such a master, is it good for the master's eyes? The master is blind? β
Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't dare to say it in my mouth. Steward Zhang sobbed and said, "The owner is angry." You also know that our family is a servant of the Marquis of Anlu, and we have been in the pasture in the northwest since the old lady's generation. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and when it comes to me, it has been a hundred years with the Bai family. We are subordinates, although we are incompetent, but a brave and loyal heart is completely dedicated to the Bai family, this time something happened, I have no eyes, but the decision is made by you, Master Hou, you, how can you put all the fault on me. Aren't you trying to force us to die!"
When Bai Yongchun heard this, he slapped it on the table and got up angrily, "If you have that steel-hearted character, I wish you were dead headlong, don't do errands if you don't have the ability to do errands, and now the entire Bai family will be defeated, you still have a word, I will go to the high-ranking officials of Shuntianfu, I will first sue you that this old vegetable melon colluded with foreign thieves and cooperated to deceive me! I see how you get started!"
Steward Zhang's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he almost fainted.
Bai Xiwan hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Bai Yongchun's big legs: "Father, stop your anger!"
