Hearing this, Kou Zhong looked at Kou Ji for a long time and said in shock: "It has been more than a month since the young master was lifted from the ground. Don't you know?"
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and laughed, "The Criminal Division is a little busy with government affairs, so I didn't pay much attention..."
Kou Zhong glanced at Kou Ji, hesitated again, and reminded: "Then you should pay more attention. If he gets a bad reputation, you will not be easy."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, then said in deep thought: "What do you mean?"
Kou Zhong glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and said, "Your grandfather is seriously ill, and your father hasn't shown up yet. People have already begun to gossip."
Kou Ji frowned and asked, "Who?"
Kou Zhong whispered: "Miss and young master cousin..."
Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, "I guessed it was them... If they like to talk, let them talk. I'm going to find my father back and stay by my grandfather's bed to see if they have anything else to say.
of."
Kou Zhong glanced at Kou Ji and said dryly: "We have found him, but we can't bring him back."
Kou Ji asked: "How?"
Kou Zhong said truthfully: "Since the young master was released from the ban, he left the Kou Mansion and went to the Wanxiang Pawn Shop. He has been staying at the Wanxiang Pawn Shop for nearly a month. The old servant sent someone to invite him back, and he also
If you don’t come back…”
Kou Zhong paused and said cautiously: "Looking at his appearance, he seems a little too happy to miss Shu..."
Kou Ji frowned and asked, "Do you want to miss Shu?"
Kou Zhong nodded and said: "The young master learned from Erbao that Wanxiang Pawn Shop is your property, and also knew that Wanxiang Pawn Shop rarely had small fortunes, so he often went to Wanxiang Pawn Shop to withdraw money for expenses.
With the money from Wanxiang Pawn Shop to support him, the young master will naturally be happy to miss Shu."
Kou Ji's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If there is anything else, please finish it."
Kou Zhong said awkwardly: "I heard that the young master hired an oiran in Qingfang Tower. In one month, he has spent no less than three thousand guan..."
"Hiss~"
Kou Ji took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his chest.
It wasn't that he felt sorry for Kou Li for spending three thousand guan of money, but he felt that after being punished by Kou Zhun, Kou Li still didn't know how to restrain himself, and instead intensified his behavior.
This is quite literally seeking death.
Kou Ji suppressed his anger and ordered Kou Zhong: "Immediately send someone to mention the punishment department and call Liu Heng over."
When Kou Zhong heard this, he probably guessed Kou Ji's intention. He nodded immediately and sent someone to the Criminal Division to summon Liu Heng.
When Liu Heng arrived at the Kou Mansion, he rushed in shouting.
"Fourth brother, fourth brother, I heard that Mr. Kou fainted? What happened?"
"Keep your voice down..."
Kou Ji gave Liu Heng a warning and took Liu Heng to a remote room to talk.
After arriving at the house and sitting down, Liu Heng hurriedly asked: "How is the situation with Mr. Kou?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "I've woken up. Although I can't get out of bed yet, my life is safe."
Hearing this, Liu Heng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, that's good. After I learned about this yesterday, I was worried all night. I originally wanted to come to the Kou Mansion to have a look, but when I arrived in front of the Kou Mansion,
When I saw those civil servants, I felt embarrassed to come in.
You also know that our Liu family has never been liked by those civil servants."
Kou Ji clicked his lips and sighed: "It's enough if you have this intention."
Liu Heng grinned and asked, "You asked someone to call me over. Do you have something to tell me?"
Kou Ji nodded and said, "I need you to do me a favor."
"What's the deal?"
Liu Heng asked.
After becoming an official, Liu Heng's temperament became much more stable. He was no longer the same as before, where he would always give assurances when encountering problems.
He would ask questions about everything and then give answers.
Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "It's not a big deal, I just want to tell you that from now on, Wanxiang Pawn Shop will be your property."
Liu Heng stood up suddenly and looked at Kou Ji in shock, "Fourth brother, are you planning to abandon your family and career? What are you planning to do?"
Before Kou Ji could speak, Liu Heng said solemnly: "If you really encounter any trouble, just tell me. Did my aunt take action and your Kou Mansion is in danger?
I will go to the palace right away and beg my aunt to let you live."
Seeing this, Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry and said: "It's not what you think. I said that Wanxiang Pawn Shop will be your property from now on. I don't really want to break away from Wanxiang Pawn Shop.
But from darkness to light.
Secretly, you and I are still the owners of Wanxiang Pawn Shop, but on the surface, Wanxiang Pawn Shop has nothing to do with me."
When Liu Heng heard this, he let out a sigh of relief, then stared at Kou Ji in confusion, "Why do you do this?"
Kou Ji smiled bitterly and said, "It's not because of my father..."
Liu Heng was stunned and said, "Are you worried that your uncle will spend too much money from the pawn shop?"
Kou Ji was stunned and said in astonishment: "Do you know that my father is in the Wanxiang Pawn Shop?"
Liu Heng nodded and said: "I know. I took the time to go to Zhang Cheng to buy a shop and met my uncle."
Kou Ji said blankly: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Liu Heng asked doubtfully: "Is there anything wrong with my uncle spending money from the pawn shop?"
Kou Ji looked stunned and was speechless by Liu Heng's rebuke.
After a long time, Kou Ji smiled bitterly and briefly told Liu Heng the situation in the Kou Mansion.
After Liu Heng learned about it, he suddenly realized, "So that's it...what are you going to let me do?"
Liu Heng was still very concerned about Kou Ji's status.
He didn't want Kou Ji to be implicated by Kou Li and leave Bianjing City.
Kou Ji pondered: "I need you to go to Wanxiang Pawn Shop, check the accounts, and then tell everyone that Wanxiang Pawn Shop is your property. Although I have a share in it, my share is worth less than one thousand
Through.
My father spent 3,000 guan, of which 1,000 guan was paid to the pawn shop.
From now on, I have nothing to do with the pawn shop.
He needs to pay back the other two thousand guan, so you force him to pay the debt."
Liu Heng heard this and said in shock: "Isn't that a bit too cruel... That's your father! Your biological father!"
Kou Ji clicked his lips and sighed: "If we don't let him take on some foreign debts, he won't stop! Now the Kou family is in a precarious situation. If my father causes trouble again, it will make things worse."
Liu Heng pondered for a moment and nodded heavily, "I know what to do."
Without waiting for Kou Ji to remind him, Liu Heng promised: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."
Kou Ji nodded and reminded: "When you arrive, try to get rid of Erbao first. Zhang Cheng and Lu Ming are smart people and will cooperate with you. Erbao is closer to my father and can easily be tricked into telling the truth."
"clear……"
Watched Liu Heng leave the Kou Mansion.
Kou Ji returned to Kou Zhun's bedroom and waited for Kou Li to return home.
In order to let Kou Li calm down for a while, stop causing trouble, and stop people taking advantage of him, Kou Ji could only cheat his father cruelly.
