Kou Ji asked the serving mothers to prepare two buckets of hot water. He washed away some of the alcohol odor stained from last night and asked Erbao to wash it off as well.
After washing.
Kou Ji put on a tailor-made Confucian robe, and Erbao also put on a new dress.
The two of them went to the accounting room in the mansion first.
Withdrawn two silver coins and some scattered silver.
He also took away the house deeds and land deeds of Ziqi Gambling House and Donglai Pawn Shop.
Donglai Pawn Shop and Ziqi Gambling House have been burned down, but the deed of the house has not been canceled by the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen. Kou Ji needs to take it and cancel it, and then draw up a new contract.
Mrs. Wu Xian's name is still written on the land deed, and Kou Ji also needs to take it to change it.
After getting the things, Kou Ji took Erbao and went out.
As soon as he left the gate of Kou Mansion, Kou Ji was stunned.
Liu Heng didn't know when he arrived in front of the Kou Mansion. He squatted next to the stone lion in front of the Kou Mansion, looking as dejected as an eggplant beaten by frost.
The losers behind him also disappeared, leaving him alone.
He didn't ask the doorman to help him pass the news, but he squatted there and refused to leave.
Kou Ji quickly stepped forward, walked to him, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you?"
Liu Heng raised his head, his face full of tears, he looked as aggrieved as a child.
He didn't want to cry, but after seeing Kou Ji and hearing Kou Ji's worried questions, he vented all his grievances and burst into tears.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
"Don't cry, don't cry. Are you being bullied?"
Kou Ji patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "You are also a yamen in Bianjing City, but there are still people who dare to bully you."
Liu Heng choked and said: "Compared to them... you are more like my brother..."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and said in deep thought: "Were you bullied by your two brothers? Did they steal the money you took back?"
Liu Heng nodded heavily, "It's my fault too. I shouldn't show off in front of them. I didn't expect that they didn't care about brotherhood at all and actually robbed them in front of them. My father said to them that I was young and took this money.
It’s useless, it’s better to give it to my two brothers and let them take it out to make more friends.”
"I, I, I... Fourth brother, are you really that statusless if you are a concubine?"
"My life in this house is not as good as their bastards!"
Liu Heng shouted at the top of his lungs.
Kou Ji sighed deeply.
The distinction between direct descendants and concubines has a long history.
In later generations, this dross has been abandoned.
But in ancient times, concubines and concubines were like people from two different worlds.
Clear hierarchy.
In a wealthy family, the legitimate son can have everything, while the concubine can only live on the scraps they have left.
Liu Heng had no money before, and his two elder brothers were too lazy to pay attention to him, so he didn't feel much of the gap between his concubines and concubines.
When he finally got some money, his two brothers Ming robbed him, and his father showed favoritism.
Only then did he feel the gap between his concubine and his concubine.
Kou Ji has no control over Liu Heng's family affairs.
But Kou Ji can take care of Liu Heng's brother.
Kou Ji patted Liu Heng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's just some money, just give it to them as charity. You are destined to live a better and more prosperous life than them. From now on, if you go out to give alms to beggars every day, you will get a thousand or eight hundred dollars."
, just treat it as charity in advance.”
Liu Heng stopped crying, looked at Kou Ji blankly, and said in astonishment: "How is that possible?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Of course it was impossible before, but it's not necessarily the case now. You have an extra brother, which is me. Are you afraid that you won't have money to spend if you follow me?"
Liu Heng was stunned, remembering Kou Ji's clever methods, and nodded heavily.
Kou Ji wiped his tears and said with a smile, "Don't cry. Although they robbed you of your money, they didn't take it all away. You forgot, I still have 20,000 yuan saved for you here."
Liu Heng heard this and said stubbornly: "That's your money!"
Kou Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "We brothers, do we still share each other?"
Liu Heng lowered his head in embarrassment, feeling that he had taken advantage of Kou Ji.
Under Kou Ji's comfort, Liu Heng felt much better.
Kou Ji patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go, I just want to go to Kaifeng Mansion, let's go together."
Liu Heng nodded heavily.
"From today on, you are my brother."
"Just talking stupid things..."
"..."
On the road.
Kou Ji curiously asked Liu Heng, "You usually go out and bring a bunch of scoundrels with you, how come you are not seen with them today? Could it be that they were also robbed?"
Hearing this, Liu Heng lowered his head and whispered: "That's not true... I promised them a thousand coins before, but now that the money has been robbed, I'm embarrassed to see them."
Kou Ji shook his head dumbfounded, "You are so proud."
"Go back and take out a thousand gu from the money you saved and reward them. Those losers are following you just to make a living. You, the boss, can't let them go hungry."
"Thank you, fourth brother."
"By the way, has your father asked you about the origin of your money?"
"I asked, and I said so. But I didn't say that I stole the "Spring Play" at home."
"That's good...what does your father think of this?"
"My father said that Wu Xian was a fool, saying that he seemed to have everything he wanted in the court, but in fact he was just an untenable wallflower. No one liked a wallflower. So he would die sooner or later.
If you defraud people like this, you will defraud them. There is nothing to worry about.
My father really thinks highly of you, he said that if there is a fox like you in the tiger's den of Kou Mansion, we should be careful."
Liu Mei's favoritism towards Liu Heng's brothers broke Liu Heng's heart, so Liu Heng betrayed his father in front of Kou Ji and didn't feel bad at all.
Kou Ji nodded. He agreed with Liu Mei's statement. He felt that Liu Mei's evaluation of Wu Xian was bloody.
When in court, the most important thing is to stand in line.
If you stand in the wrong team, you may be fined, but you may not die. If you don't stand in the wrong team, you may be fined, but you may not die.
But the wallflower who swings from side to side will definitely die.
No one wants to be standing in a queue with someone who may rebel at any time.
So Wu Xian will definitely die. As for when he will die, it is just a matter of time.
Without the rhinoceros belt as a certificate of surrender, Wu Xian would not be able to gain support from Ding Wei.
Without Ding Wei as his backer, Li Di, who was betrayed, and the Kou family, who was framed, could take action to overthrow the Wu family without any scruples.
Even if they don't take action, Kou Ji will personally take action to bring down the Wu family.
This is a promise he personally made to Wu Ming, and it must be fulfilled.
Of course, he didn't know that his uncle Wang Shu had already gone to help him fulfill his promise.
"The Wu family's defeat is a foregone conclusion... What I'm more concerned about is... your father thinks highly of me, which is not a good thing."
"He just said it casually. Fourth brother doesn't need to care."
