One day, when he went out to the street, his companions teased the female relatives in Qianhu Station. Ma Gang could no longer bear it and beat the person. The rest of the people came over to fight him, and he beat him overturned four or five of them.
The general's personal soldiers and staff team had to make trouble, and they wanted to marchem the law. After Ma Gang beat the man, he fled. Fortunately, some people in the garrison were looking forward to him. He asked someone to spend money to ask his grandfather and grandma, and finally the commander agreed not to pursue the matter.
But I couldn't make it in Lingshan Pacific, so I could only go to Fengmeng Town to do a short-term job. However, this young man was alone and had no control over him, so he often couldn't learn anything.
All the wages in Ma Gang were thrown in the casino, and he often asked for money from his family, but the result was that he became bigger and bigger. The day before yesterday, someone sent a letter saying that he had lost 300 taels of silver in the casino, but he couldn't afford it and was detained there and wanted to redeem it.
Three hundred taels of silver is really a huge sum of money for Ma Baihu's family. It can be taken out there, and the only savings in the family have been ruined by Ma Gang, so there is no need to think about borrowing money. Ma Baihu is already a good family in the Xue Family Qianhu's office, and he can't afford five taels of silver, let alone others.
But the casino said that if he didn't give money, he would cut off his hands and feet. The Ma Baihu family was just a single person, and he couldn't borrow money and owed the casino debt. This was not illegal, and no one would care about the official's report. Ma really had no choice, and he had the intention of hanging himself.
But when I was chatting with Zhao, I always heard the old lady say how capable Li Meng was, and thought to myself, why not ask if I could help.
Speaking of this, Li Meng understood what was going on. Seeing Ma Shi was not sure what to do, and crying there was indeed pitiful, but it was not easy to interfere in such a thing. He hesitated and said:
"Why would I help you with this three hundred taels of silver first?"
Although three hundred taels of silver is a lot, in the past half month, the private salt business has been on track and has begun to grow significantly. It is not considered as when he heard what he said, Ma Baihu's wife suddenly started crying and cried:
"How can we pay back these three hundred taels in poor families?"
Ma hesitated for a while, and then begged again:
"Can you ask Brother Li to talk to the casino boss and let us go?"
Before Ma finished speaking, an old man came out of the side room angrily. Li Meng knew this old man, Ma Baihu here. Ma Baihu's beard was so angry that he raised his beard, pointing at his wife and shouting:
"Isn't this a favor? You, an old lady, are so embarrassed. It's better to let the casino people slaughter it with one knife. Why bother to drag you and me down? It's going to make others suffer."
Zhao Neng's mother quickly accused him of guilt and went home. Li Meng had to stand up with a smile and shouted:
"Hello, Lord Ma."
After all, he was in charge of his superiors. Li Meng still treated him politely. When Ma Baihu turned his head, he looked embarrassed. Ma was already crying loudly there, saying, "We are the only son, what if we die?"
Li Meng sighed and said loudly:
"I'm going to go to Fengmeng Town to do business tomorrow, and I'll justify the people from the gambling house."
Hearing this, Ma stopped crying and said in a low voice:
"Those gambling shops are all fierce and evil. Can you do it, Brother Li?"
While the old man felt sorry for his children, he was looking forward to it. Li Meng smiled and said leisurely:
"Don't worry, aunt, I'll go and tell them the truth."
This was very confident. Ma stopped crying. Ma Baihu's face was even more embarrassing. He scolded and sent his wife away. He turned his head and hesitated for a long time before he spoke:
"I also recognize your parents, but today I really don't know how to speak up. You, Li Meng, are capable, but I just thank you for what I have to do here..."
"Mr. Ma is so polite. He is all the villagers in the country. Why are you doing so politely? If nothing happens, Li Meng will say goodbye first."
Ma Baihu looked very embarrassed. Maybe he didn't expect that he would have to commit himself to a small military household. Although the power and strength of this military household were very strong, Li Meng didn't think too much. Looking at Ma Baihu's couple's heartbroken look for his son, he reminded him of his modern parents. He didn't know how sad they would be now. This association always made Li Meng soft.
As soon as I left the yard, I saw forty or fifty people sitting or standing there at the door. The leader was Chen Liuzi. Seeing that Li Meng came out safely, everyone quickly stood up, almost subconsciously lined up in three rows. Li Meng nodded and said with a smile:
"Go back and continue practicing!"
These people were dispersed, but Chen Liuzi walked up to him and said with a smile and lowered his voice:
"I was really shocked when I heard that person come to tell me, but when I went out just now, Zhao Neng's mother made the matter clear. Brothers are at ease."
Li Meng smiled and asked:
"Don't worry, I'm still staying at the door. You guys want to be lazy, right?"
Chen Liuzi scratched his head and said with a chuckle:
"Everyone felt at ease when you saw you come out. Speaking of which, Ma Baihu really has the nerve to beg you. I heard this man say some time ago that a good man should put his skills in serving the court and the emperor. It is really not worth doing these despicable things!"
Hearing this, Li Meng couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Ma Baihu said that this was the so-called "I don't know why I said this". Li Meng thought about it for a moment and said with a smile:
"This Ma Baihu just talked about it privately and did not report to the official, so he still cared about friendship."
Speaking of which, Li Meng has been here for almost half a year. Whether he is an official or a private household, he looks decadent and surviving. Everyone is satisfied as long as he and his family can have food and clothing, and is indifferent to everything around him. Sometimes Li Meng also thinks that the people are so numb, no wonder he will perish in the hands of the Qing Dynasty in more than ten years. Ma Baihu is still a little passionate in his heart, which makes Li Meng admire him very much.
After walking a few steps forward, Li Meng turned around and said to Chen Liuzi:
"Call the salt transport team to prepare and prepare to send salt tomorrow. Let's go thirty people!"
Now the salt delivery dealers are cooked, and Li Meng can do it by himself without Li Meng following him. However, this time Li Meng is with him, Zhao Neng and Wang Hai lead the people, and Chen Liuzi is taking care of him in the village.
