Chapter 303 This is obviously a slap in the face
Qingfeng bun shop.
Xie Fen ate the four-drawn buns in one breath and then felt relieved. He used to be a very rich man when he was a housekeeper in the Xie Mansion, but now he is thin and skinny. It can be seen that his situation has not been very good over the past few days.
I asked, why did you fall into this field?
Xie Fen sighed, don’t mention that after Xie Donglai took back the position of head of the family, he liquidated us old servants of the Xie family and did not leave any affection for me. I said strangely, even if you were driven out of the Xie Mansion, what about your savings and property over the years?
Xie Fen's eyes turned red and he almost cried. He said evilly, "I have a house in the south of Jinling City. Later, Xie Zhizhang, the butler of Xie Donglai, fell in love with this house, and the evil person complained and accused me of stealing 300 taels of silver from the Xie family and asking me to pay the bill with this house. I refused to obey it, so he found a few rascals and came to my house to make trouble every day. I couldn't bear it, so he moved out. That's not all, Xie Zhizhang also said that he would not let me be in Jinling City, otherwise he would beat me once when I saw me.
I said you won’t report to the official?
Xie Fen said angrily, "Report to the official?" When I was the steward of the Xie family, I had less filial piety to those officials. Now I am in trouble. Let's go to them again, and hide from me and hide from the plague gods one by one. It's really a warm and cold relationship and a cold world."
This kind of thing is actually very common. Once the emperor and the minister are the same, whether it is the palace or the house. Although Xie Fen is not my friend, he has had several dealings. I have a good impression of him, so I am going to take care of this matter.
Thinking of this, I was also angry. Zhang Youqian asked, Lao Su, you won’t care about this matter, right?
I said that seeing unfairness on the road and drawing swords to help us is an unshirkable task for the chivalrous people in the world.
Zhang Youqian hummed, I'm afraid it's not just the reason for injustice.
I glared at me, what else?
Zhang Youqian hurriedly said, "It's nothing, it's just punishing evil and promoting good, Huoxiang is righteous."
I asked who else in Jinling City is now? Where is Xie Junfan?
Xie Fen said, my son couldn't stand the bird's anger. After the master had an accident, he left Jinling and went to the Ming border, saying that he would join the army and kill the enemy. After making military achievements, he would bring people to regain the industry belonging to our Xie family.
Xie Junfan is a weak young man. Unexpectedly, his home was in trouble and he decided to join the army, but he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster.
I turned around and gave instructions to Jiangnan, and Jiangnan and Liu Sanjin took the lead.
I said to Xie Fen, let's go.
Where to go?
I said lightly, naturally I will get back what originally belonged to you.
Xie Fen waved his hand quickly and said, "I'll take over the feelings of Captain Su." Xie Zhizhang is now a celebrity in front of Xie Donglai. He was originally a thug in Jinling City. He was with a few scholars all day long. Relying on the Xie family being familiar with the government, he did everything he wanted. Although you are also an official, you are a foreigner after all.
I said you don’t have to worry about this. First, we are now the chief of the Nanjianghu Office and are also a serious official of the sixth rank; second, if we talk about martial arts, Su is still there, and Zhang Youqian is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past. In Jinling City, there are probably not many people who can do anything to us.
Xie Fen was skeptical, but he still took us to the south of the city as he said.
When Xie Fen followed Xie Shiting, he also saved a lot of property, and this house was one of them. Located by Xiaoqing River, the house is a three-story building with a yard in front of it. It is a very typical old house in the Jiangnan water town.
When we arrived at the front yard, we saw a few thugs basking in the sun at the door. In the doorman, there were two thugs drinking tea. We came to the door and walked in directly. Those thugs said, "Hey, what are you doing?"
I snorted coldly, what are you doing? The debt collector! As for Xie Zhizhang, he owed us 300 taels of silver in the casino, which has been delayed for several months. Now we are here. He said, "Nonsense, our second master never owes debts. Do you have any evidence?"
The word "Second Master" is often used to refer to the butler in the north.
I smiled and said, "The evidence is available when Xie Zhizhang comes out."
He said, "Rareless, you call out the Second Master if you want to? Besides, the Second Master is here to entertain guests at the mansion today. Mr. Xie, the head of the Xie family, is here to visit our Second Master's house. If the guests are disturbed, can you afford to take care of it?
I was curious in my heart that no matter how arrogant Xie Zhizhang was, he was a servant of the Xie family. Xie Donglai was the head of the Xie family. Logically speaking, when Xie Zhizhang was used, he would just call him to the mansion. How could he run to a guest at a servant? There must be something strange about this.
Thinking of this, I laughed. It was because Xie Donglai was here that I came to find you.
Someone had already run to the backyard to call Xie Zhizhang. After a while, Xie Zhizhang came. He had never seen us before, but when he saw that Xie Fen was hiding behind him, he said coldly, "Oh, who do I think I am? It turns out that he is the housekeeper Xie. Why, I have time to come to the mansion for tea today?"
I said you should stop changing the topic. Xie Zhizhang, let me ask you, what about the 300 taels of silver you owed us last month? Should we cash it?
Xie Zhizhang glared and said, Who are you? If I don’t know you, how could I owe you money?
Zhang Youqian leaned over and put a hand on his shoulder, saying, "Why do you want to pay for your debt?"
Xie Zhizhang said, what debt is it? There is nothing at all!
Zhang Youqian said, let’s not hide it. This account was lent to you when my brother dreamed. Now that it has been so long, you have to make up for it if you say something today. Otherwise, this house is not bad, so we will reluctantly make it difficult for me to collect the debt.
Xie Zhizhang said angrily, you three are here to find fault with each other, right?
Zhang Youqian said that I was here to find fault. As he said that, he stepped forward and kicked Xie Zhizhang on the butt. Xie Zhizhang oh, rushed forward a few steps, and knocked open the door of the side room to the west. At this time, Xie Donglai walked out of the side room. Not long after, a middle-aged beautiful woman followed him out.
Xie Zhizhang shouted, Madam!
The middle-aged beautiful woman looked at Xie Zhizhang with a martial arts look on her face and said, don’t shout.
I suddenly realized, no wonder Xie Donglai was willing to lower his posture and come to Xie Zhizhang as a servant. It turned out that he had another purpose.
When Xie Donglai saw Xie Zhizhang lying on the ground, why are you lying there? Why don’t you get up quickly?
When Xie Zhizhang saw Xie Donglai, he said, "Master, you have to make a decision for the young man. These two guys are here to make trouble. I said I owed them 200 taels of silver. I argued with him, and the kid kicked me. Master, it doesn't matter if I was beaten, but it depends on the owner to hit the dog. This kick is not my butt, it is clearly a slap in the face!
Xie Donglai was awkward and said, "Okay, you're shameless, I want it." He glanced at us and said, "Are these two guys very nice?"
I met Xie Donglai three or four times in total, and I saw him every time, but he couldn't see me. That's why I said this.
Thinking of this, I said, "It's a bit familiar again and again." That's right. Your servant stole our friends' house and I want to get them back."
