Chapter 55: A Tragedy Caused by Unequal Intelligence

From the village to live in the county, it is a huge leap in this era--- in fact, it is the same after more than a hundred years--- the people in the village are very envious, the owner of the tofu shop who forced him to quit the marriage, it is said that his intestines are green with regret.

Of course, at this time, the information was not smooth, and Zhao Dagui's family never told the people in the village how much money they made, at most some people found out a little bit from Zhao Xiaohu and Zhao Xiaomei, knowing what secret recipe they sold and earning more than 100 taels of silver, and they didn't know Zhao Dagui's follow-up situation.

Moreover, no matter how big the brains of the villagers of Sanlipu are, it is impossible to think that the Zhao family will earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a few months, even if they can meet with the Taoist master a few times (Zhao Dagui: Whoever wants to see him, he has to pay thousands of taels of tariffs every time, am I easy).

However, just knowing that the Zhao family earned hundreds of taels of silver was enough for the villagers to envy for a while.

After Huo Daya learned about this situation, he was naturally surprised, and felt very happy, his loan shark of fifty taels of silver could be begged, and he tried to scare it, and he might squeeze out some more money.

said that he lent the Zhao family silver a few years ago, that was because the Zhao family's background was still there, Zhao Dagui was still a child, and he could pay back the money, and later Zhao Dagui wanted to see Lang Zhong after being beaten, Huo Daya didn't want to borrow money at all, and even wanted to collect debts.

Fortunately, the money and grain family wanted to take the opportunity to completely collapse the Zhao family, so that Zhao Dagui could not turn over forever, so he secretly gave him twenty taels of silver to help lend out, and set the interest high, and the repayment date was short, so that Zhao Dagui's family would be ruined within a few months, and let his sister go to the Qian family to be a maid.

If Zhao Dagui hadn't crossed over and supported the family on behalf of the original owner, the outcome of the three Zhao brothers and sisters would be self-evident.

Sanli Village is just across the river from the county seat, Huo Daya asked people to inquire, and soon found out where the Zhao family brothers and sisters lived, knowing that they lived in the courtyard of the Yao family lane in the west of the east gate, and it seemed that they usually went to work in another bigger yard or something.

Huo Daya felt that those two courtyards must be the courtyards of a large family in the village, and if the three brothers and sisters of the Zhao family could live there, it must be Zhao Dagui who climbed up to a certain big man and acted as a shopkeeper or something, and by the way, he took his younger brothers and sisters into the courtyard to live.

From Huo Daya's point of view, this is the best explanation to explain Zhao Dagui's development.

Huo Daya knew that he was just a gangster, and for those big families, he was just a little person who could pinch to death with a finger, so he didn't dare to go to the place where the Zhao family brothers and sisters lived to directly break in to collect debts, but waited outside the courtyard, waiting for the three brothers and sisters of the Zhao family to go out.

It was also appropriate for the accident, Zhao Dagui went out to run errands very early on this day, Huo Daya came later, missed Zhao Dagui, and then waited on the street corner for a long time, only to see Zhao Xiaohu and Zhao Xiaomei come out of the Zhao family's courtyard together and walk in the direction of the Yao family's courtyard in the west.

Zhao Xiaohu and Zhao Xiaomei worshipped Meadows as their teacher during this time, and they had to go to the British Consulate every day to learn all kinds of knowledge from Maadox and other missionaries, but Huo Daya would not know this kind of detail.

Huo Daya took a few people to the county seat in order to force debts this day, and when he saw the two children going out, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and only appeared after following two streets, asking them to help him find Zhao Dagui and solve the loan shark matter.

It's just that Zhao Xiaohu and Zhao Xiaomei are still young, and their impression of Huo Daya still exists when he collects debts, and Zhao Xiaomei's heart disease is that Huo Daya wants to forcibly snatch himself away and sell it to others as a maid, so he has cried and woken up several times in his sleep.

As a result, Huo Daya stopped the two children, didn't say a few words, and as soon as he mentioned the matter of usury, Zhao Xiaomei thought that Huo Daya was coming to rob people, so she pulled Zhao Xiaohu back and ran, and ran back to Zhao's courtyard, looking for the person in charge to cry that someone wanted to rob her to be a maid.

Huo Daya was stunned for a moment when he saw the Zhao family brothers and sisters turn around and run away, thinking that I just wanted to use good words to collect debts, what are you still running, and then felt that since this was the case, it was better to make it clear to the Zhao family, so he took four or five of his subordinates to chase after him, and he chased him all the way into the courtyard of the Zhao family.

Then, Huo Daya and his men were tragic.

Zhao Dagui made a fortune during this time, the family hired several housekeepers and servants, and experienced a battle with the water bandits, and attached great importance to safety.

So, here's what happened.

"Oh no, there are bad people who want to arrest me and sell me as a maid!" Zhao Xiaomei pulled Zhao Xiaohu into the family's shop, and then cried to the housekeeper.

"Young Master and Miss, what's going on, you can't catch your breath. The new butler felt inexplicable and wanted to pull the two children to talk.

At this time, Huo Daya had a fierce face, and broke in with four or five people, not knowing the severity, and wanted to hold Zhao Xiaomei: "What are you running, I'm here to ask your brother for debts, not to sell you as a maid." ”

When the housekeeper saw that he ran into five or six gangsters who were not good people at first glance, and wanted to hold his young lady's hand, he was immediately startled and pulled Zhao Xiaomei behind him.

It's just that in this way, Huo Daya saw an inexplicable old man, inserted between himself and Zhao Xiaomei, and he was dizzy for a while, so he pushed the old housekeeper to the ground.

After pushing people down, in fact, Huo Daya also felt that something was wrong, this old man looked like he was mostly a big housekeeper of a big family, and he was more than a little stronger than himself, a rural gangster, how could he be easily offended.

Huo Daya paused, and wanted to go over to help Shopkeeper Chen up, but this scene fell in the eyes of others, that is, Huo Daya pushed people down, and he had to go up and continue to cause harm.

"Dare to beat our young master and housekeeper, the big guy the guy!" A few young people in the family saw that it was not good, so they copied the guy and stepped forward.

Then, the young men who worked as domestic servants on the Zhao family's side and the dart masters who took care of the home also stepped forward, relying on the strength of the crowd, beat Huo Daya and the others severely, and beat the people down, and then caught them in the courtyard and interrogated which mountain was the strongman who dared to kidnap his young master and young lady in broad daylight.

Huo Daya had a chance to explain at this time, saying that he was not a bandit, just an ordinary loan shark, because the Zhao family owed some money before, so he came to collect debts, and he definitely did not come to kidnap.

The housekeeper didn't believe it at first, thinking to himself what is the identity of our owner, that is the person who does hundreds of thousands of business when he sells, when will it be the turn of a small deflated three to recover the debt of dozens of taels of silver, if it is said that the leader of a certain group of bandits outside the city, he deliberately wants to come over to kidnap people and earn some ransom fees, then it is more reliable.

However, as soon as I confirmed with Zhao Xiaohu and Zhao Xiaomei, there was really such a thing, so that the shopkeeper Chen, who was accustomed to the wind and waves, couldn't say it for a while, his master was really born in Weihan, but he only took a few months to achieve the current scale of the business, where did this come from, is it a fantasy.

When Zhao Dagui heard the news of the accident at home and hurried home, he saw Huo Daya and others being beaten and bruised and swollen, squatting in the corner of the yard, and his heart was on fire for no reason.

At the beginning, Huo Daya proposed in front of him to sell Zhao Xiaomei to be a maid, and he also left a lot of threats, even if Zhao Dagui was atmospheric, he always remembered it in his heart, but because he was too busy during this time, Huo Daya disappeared and left it behind, but he didn't expect this person to finally fall into his hands.

"Okay, Huo Daya, everyone who robbed me came to my house, I haven't seen you for a few months, this guts has grown fat. Zhao Dagui saw Huo Daya holding his head and squatting in a corner, so he walked over and kicked him hard.
