Zhang Kui's prosperity these days is not limited to power and money. There is also a wife who is thought to be as beautiful as a flower and jade hidden in this huge Zhang residence.
His wife had been following Zhang Kui since Yangzhou. When they first met her at a street corner in Yangzhou, there was a sign saying that she would be sold to bury her father. She was as beautiful as a flower and jade, and Zhang Kui fell in love with her at first sight.
In order to buy this girl, Zhang Kui injured several people and snatched the girl back.
At first, Zhang Kui was unrequitedly in love with her beauty, but he didn't know that this woman had become his woman, which completely changed his life.
This woman gave advice to Zhang Kui, helped him control the beggars in Yangzhou, and taught him how to make money. Under her planning, she also robbed several large households without anyone noticing and made a lot of money. If it hadn't been for this
Woman, Zhang Kui is probably still an ordinary beggar today.
Zhang Kui is not stupid either. He cannot do without his wife's contribution to all this, so he is very convinced of his wife. As long as it is her words, he will follow them as if they are an imperial edict.
Regarding Xia Shang's entrustment today, Zhang Kui never thought of telling his wife, but his wife actually came to ask questions in person.
Zhang Kui was a little surprised when he heard this: "Madam, what else is there to discuss about this matter? The man outside is a loser, so I asked him to leave early."
"You've never been afraid of anyone on weekdays, so why are you so scared today? I want to see if that person outside has three heads and six arms?"
After hearing this, Zhang Kui hurriedly turned around and stopped his wife, and said seriously: "This is absolutely necessary. The man outside is extraordinary and we can't afford to offend him! Madam, it's better to go and rest separately. This matter is easy to handle."
But the beautiful lady didn't appreciate it. After hearing this, she became even more angry. She put her hands on her waist and said angrily: "Can't afford to offend? What can't be offended? At first you also said that we can't afford to offend so and so, but now you
Aren’t they all provoked? Those outside are human beings, and we are humans too, why can’t we be provoked?”
"This..." Zhang Kui was speechless, "Oh, madam, please don't worry about this."
"You heartless person. I don't have many things to worry about for you? I think I understand this today. You can do whatever they want you to do. I will send him away today according to his request. He will be sent to you another day.
If something comes up again, do you have to do what he wants again? If this goes on forever, why don't you become his servant? If I follow you, how can I hold my head high and be a good person in the future? "
Seeing his wife like this, Zhang Kui became a little anxious and explained one after another: "Madam, don't worry, the man outside said that this is the last time I will help him."
"You are stupid! Do you believe what he says? Do you think everyone in the world is so simple? If you say you do the last thing, you will do the last thing? If you don't believe me, he will come to your door again another day.
If he asks you to do this and that, do you have the guts to go behind his back?"
"This..." Zhang Kui thought, and it seemed to make sense, "Then what should I do according to Madam's wishes?"
"We can't afford to offend people outside. There are always people who dare to offend. Didn't he ask you to investigate the whereabouts of a person? Then you just name a place that he can't afford to offend. Let's see if he has the courage to investigate.
.”
…
At the same time, Xia and Shang had been waiting in the living room for a long time, but Xia and Shang had no time to think about Zhang Kui at the moment. Ruo Chujian, who was sitting in the hall, was still trembling. He had been in Shang Shang Ju before and committed suicide due to a moment of impatience.
After being saved by luck, I realized the horror of death. This cannot be alleviated in a short while. Xia Shang was comforting, but Yu Ji was not good at doing such things and watched silently.
Ruo Chujian said a lot to Xia Shang, but he was vague and didn't know what he meant. To outsiders, it would be just nonsense after a disaster, but Xia Shang understood one thing. Ruo Chujian
She spoke softly because someone threatened her to betray her.
After roughly understanding what happened, Xia Shang only felt a little ashamed. Although he kept saying that he regarded the first meeting as a friend, from the bottom of his heart or from his actions, did he really regard him as a friend? Is there a little bit of it?
What about the traces of using the other party to make money for yourself?
Xia Shang always thought that everyone must have selfish motives, but this silly girl really regarded herself as her entire support. A word of betrayal could make her commit suicide. This approach was a bit impulsive, but it was enough to make Xia Shang
Ashamed.
Xia Shang was full of emotion and guilt for meeting him for the first time, and felt that any words of comfort at this moment were useless.
He only gently put his hand on her shoulder and let her work hard to calm down.
When the audience's warm tea became cold, Ruo Chu stopped trembling and sobbing.
Xia Shang waited for her for a while, and then when he saw her for the first time, he grabbed Xia Shang's hand and said softly: "Sir, it's really great to see you again."
This sentence was very clear at the first meeting. It was much gentler and clearer than the nonsense about "who I like", "what do you think", "don't want to die" and so on when Xia Shang was crying and shaking at the same time.
"No matter what danger you encounter in the future, don't talk about life or death lightly." Xia Shang patted his white and tender hands still stained with tears and said seriously.
Chu Jian nodded, turned around, picked up the tea and took a sip, then exhaled several times in a row, and finally looked at Xia Shang and said seriously: "Master, I am a little worried."
"worry about what?"
"Today I thought I saw the owner of Shang Shang Ju. She was always at Shang Shang Ju, but the madam said she wasn't there. I'm afraid there is something fishy in this. Are they trying to steal our money?"
Xia Shang wanted to laugh a little after hearing this. This girl just walked around the gate of hell. The first thing that came to her mind was money.
However, the initial worry was not groundless. Although Xia Shang did not know the situation, the money that the madam kept saying that he would not distribute until the owner came back was a bit strange. If Shang Shangju really wanted black money, Xia Shang was not worried, because if the other party wanted to use
Even Xia Shang wouldn't make them feel better.
Chunjiao's safety is the most important thing at the moment, so the matter of Shangshangju must be put aside for now.
Thinking of Chunjiao's whereabouts, Xia Shang became a little anxious. After so long, he thought, is there still no news about Zhang Kui?
Xia Shang was a little anxious, got up and walked to the door.
But I saw a strange scene at the door.
There were five strong servants tying up a skinny boy with iron chains. The iron chains were so thick that they could be compared with the boy's arms, which looked very uncoordinated. But the five strong servants were tied up with iron chains.
It took a lot of effort to drag the skinny boy away.
Xia Shang recognized this boy and thought his name was very special, Hong Qi, but he was missing one finger and was a little beggar.
It would be difficult for Xia Shang not to be impressed by such a boy.
But what is going on in this scene in front of me? (To be continued)
