Chapter 37 Thank You

In the afternoon, in a corner of Poyang City, Ma Qinglin led Li Li around in a house, checked and introduced the situation of the other courtyard so that Li Sanlang could take over as soon as possible.

Ma Qinglin was framed and scolded her. She was about to destroy her family, but because Li Li, who was arrested at the same time, refused to plead guilty, she ushered in a turning point.

Now, the mastermind Lu Quan, accomplice Zhang Xing and related people have been sent to prison. Ma Qinglin, who has seen the light again, naturally has to thank his benefactor Li Li.

Giving this house to the other party.

It is no exaggeration to give a house to save his life. Moreover, this is a villa, not the big house where Ma Qinglin originally lived. Li Li did not refuse it in a hypocritical way and accepted it happily.

Ma Qinglin not only gave the house as a thank-you gift, but also had furniture, daily necessities, rice, cloth and other supplies in the house. It was not moved empty, leaving an empty yard for Li Li.

Of course, if Li Li wanted to stay, he would have to be responsible for paying his wages. If he was dismissed, he would have to hire someone else to do things.

Labor costs are a great burden for Li Li. He plans to leave only an old couple who are guarding the door and two guards to continue living in the house, cleaning on weekdays and on duty at night.

Li Li was falsely accused of being imprisoned and was injured, but he was all whipped. It was fine to walk, but he could not move too much, otherwise the wound would be pulled.

He slowly walked around the house and found that it was a house with front and back yards and wells, both not too big or small, and it was very suitable for him. If he sold it at the time, even if he was in a hurry to make a move, it would be worth at least 300,000 yuan.

In addition, the various furniture, cloth, grain and other materials already in the house are ready-made. If converted into money, it will be at least about 200,000 yuan.

The total is about 500,000 yuan.

The small goal set at the beginning of the year was achieved so quickly, but it was obtained at the cost of suffering from flesh and blood. Li Li didn't know whether to be happy or depressed.

However, Li Li was certainly happy to have a house in Poyang City, but he regretted that Ma Qinglin was about to leave Poyang with his family.

Ma Qinglin walked, sighed and said to Li Li: "Lu Quan was imprisoned and falsely accused him of being repaid. He was punished with evil. Although I had to clear my grievances, I could no longer stay in Poyang. If I didn't leave early, I would be unlucky sooner or later."

Li Li asked: "Ma Dongzhu said that the royal palace would not give up?"

Ma Qinglin nodded: "Yes, you know. Lu Quan worked for the royal palace and laid money everywhere. Now he can't harm others. He is in charge of being trapped in Wuwu. But the manager in the royal palace will not think so."

"I have been in Poyang for many years and claim to have some connections. When something happened, I spent a lot of money to avoid disaster, but no one dared to protect me. Why? Because they heard more or less the news, it was because the royal family manager could not tolerate me."

Li Li asked: "Ma Dongzhu, this time, is it because of last year...I paid off my debt?"

Ma Qinglin shook his head: "It's not that simple... that's just a small matter."

"Then...why is it?"

After hearing Li Li's question, Ma Qinglin did not answer. Looking at the sky for a long time, he sighed: "The restaurant business is booming. They no longer want to divide some meat from the cauldron, but to take the cauldron for themselves and give me some soup!"

‘The food looks so ugly…’ Li Li thought so, and looked up at the sky.

Poyang County is the fiefdom of King Poyang (in name). The Poyang Prince's Mansion is the supreme existence in Poyang City and even Poyang County. It is like the king of all beasts. The small beasts in the forest are trembling when they see it.

Of course, with the imperial court appointed by the Poyang internal historian, the Poyang Kingdom could not be a country among the country, but the people in the royal palace were more domineering in Poyang under the banner of the Poyang Palace, and the people dare not provoke him.

Perhaps the King of Poyang didn't know what these people did, but who would dare to come to the royal palace to argue?

Merchants like Ma Qinglin have operated restaurants for many years. In the words of later generations, they are "both black and white, and have connections". In front of the Poyang Palace, they are like fat meat on a chopping board.

Li Li did not think that Ma Qinglin was ignorant of the importance of it. People from the Poyang Palace came to collect "benefits" and had to give them any of them, but the other party asked for excessive demands, so Ma Qinglin could not stand it.

Then Lu Quan falsely accused Ma Qinglin of not just trying to suck blood, but wanted to snatch the restaurant directly and turn Ma Qinglin into a "shopkeeper".

Although Lu Quan was sent to prison, the Poyang Palace was still there, and the officials were irrelevant to the case.

The managers can't do anything to the son-in-law of the current dynasty, the Poyang Inner Historian, but they can wait for Liu Yan to leave office, secretly deal with Ma Qinglin, or even buy murderers directly.

So after Ma Qinglin was released from prison, he knew that the situation was not good, so he immediately arranged to sell his property, transfer the restaurant, and then took his family to a foreign land to avoid disaster.

Ma Qinglin originally wanted to give Li Li the mansion he lived in, but he felt that the mansion was too big and was worried that Li Li would not be able to take over and it would be difficult to sell it.

In addition, Ma Qinglin was tight and needed to cash in a lot of money to make a house in another place with his family, so he gave Li Li the other courtyard where he lived in the outdoor room.

The outer room is a concubine. Because the main room is not welcome, Ma Qinglin bought a villa in the city and placed a concubine.

Li Li didn't care about this kind of details. A house is a good house and is suitable for him to live in. It would be bad if it was too big, so that's enough.

Now I feel like thinking, but I am just sighing about Ma Qinglin's experience.

People like Ma Qinglin opened a restaurant and the business was booming, which attracted hungry wolves. This hungry wolves had a big appetite. No matter how much Ma Qinglin could feed them, they could only leave.

Li Li felt that if he would make money in business in the future, such as opening a residence, once the business is good, he would not have a strong backer, so he would probably have to repeat Ma Qinglin's mistakes.

Paying protection fees every month is no problem, but if the other party has a big appetite and wants to take over the industry, what should I do then?

Ma Qinglin patted Li Li on the shoulder: "Li Lang, I'm not worried about anything. Although I am the one who wants to punish the prince's mansion, this case is overturned because of you. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the prince's mansion will cause trouble for you in the future."

Li Li shook his head: "I'm not afraid. With the Lord of Liu, no matter how unscrupulous they are, they will not openly make things difficult for me as a minor official."

"That's not what I said. I'm not afraid of thieves not coming, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. If the other party is willing, just do whatever you want..." Ma Qinglin said, then looked around and said:

"Look for a few people to secretly kill you, and then find a secluded place to bury it, or even sink to the bottom of the lake. Even if your family goes to the government to complain about the injustice, what can you do if the Lord Liufu has no evidence?"

Li Li knew that Ma Qinglin's words made sense. If there was a choice, he wanted to take his family away, but he couldn't do it.

If you go far away, you will be a fugitive and it will be difficult to live in other counties and counties. You can only be a "Shanhu people" or join a powerful household to become the other party's hidden household and be a cow and horse.

It seems that such a choice is good, but it is very risky. After all, he is not single.

A bachelor, if he eats a lot, his whole family will not be hungry, and he can live a life without any means, but he has a mother, a widowed sister-in-law and a little nephew. If he becomes a dependent person, he will be difficult to escape again.

Of course, staying in Poyang also has the risk of being settled after the fall, but when weighing the pros and cons between the two risks, Li Li felt that it would be better for him to stay.

No matter how domineering the people in the royal palace are, at least in the next few months, they dare not act randomly and always wait for the news to pass.

If the situation is wrong, let’s talk about it.

As he thought about it, Li Li asked Ma Qinglin: "I don't know who is the one who is relying on in the palace behind Lu Quan? Please inform Ma Dongzhu, and I will be more careful in the future."

Ma Qinglin replied: "Lu Quan's reliance in the royal palace, his surname is Zhan Liang, and he is one of the managers..."

......

In the Poyang Palace, among the landscape gardens, a little fat man was playing with a few dogs, and several child servants were accompanying him.

In the veranda, the prince's manager Zhan Liang looked at the fat man with a blue face, but his mind flew elsewhere.

Lu Quan, who helped the royal family lend money, Zhang Xing, the county magistrate who bought Lu Quan, and Lin Xia and others were sentenced to death by Liu Yan, the Poyang internal historian, for false accusations of being held accountable.

After the court approved it, these people will be dragged to behead their heads and their families will be confiscated as slaves.

This case was a big deal, with conclusive evidence, so there was no room for recovery.

Lu Quan is a person trained by Zhan Liang, who is considered to be the left arm and right arm, while Zhang Xing is an official who Lu Quan carefully wins over. He has always had a good relationship, and now...

Thinking of this, Zhan Liang was so angry that he almost bit his teeth.

The matter of framed Ma Qinglin and seizing his property was planned by Lu Quan. Zhan Liang knew about it in advance, but he didn't know the details, and there was no need to be clear, because he only had the result:

Lu Quan has to be filial to him every month. As for how this money comes from, he doesn't need to pay attention.

However, now that things have been screwed up, Lu Quan and Zhang Xing may not only lose their lives, but may also involve him.

As the manager of the royal palace, Zhan Liang often pretended to be a tiger's power and did whatever he wanted in Poyang County under the banner of the royal palace, but many things were not clear, so once they were investigated, he would be in trouble.

Fortunately, he was holding a concubine of Lu Quan in his hand. This son was born to the outer room that Lu Quan secretly raised. Although he was only one year old, he was the only incense for Lu Quan since then.

Lu Quan's family was detained and could not escape the misfortune of being confiscated as slaves, but as long as this incense is there, Lu Quan will not be able to die.

So Lu Quan has not yet confessed Zhan Liang and has taken everything into consideration.

In addition, Zhang Xing was bought by Lu Quan and never dealt with him at all. Zhan Liang barely passed this disaster.

Afterwards, even when King Poyang asked questions, Zhan Liang was sure to give an explanation. At worst, it was "knowing people without understanding."

Just by this trouble, he suffered heavy losses and had to spend money to ask the people around the king to help him speak. He might even end up with a comment that was "unfavorable to do things", which would affect his future.

Everything is thanks to the little official Yuliang and the Youjun Peng Yu.

Thinking of this, Zhan Liang rubbed his temples and forced himself to calm down.

The Peng family is a big family in Poyang. The Peng Yu family has many relatives and is not easy to provoke, but Li Li is different.

Li Li is just a merely low-ranking official. Although the Li family is considered a big family in Poyang, Li Li is not a relative of the Li family in Poyang. His family is small and has no relatives.

Zhan Liang felt that he wanted to let out a sigh of anger and killed Li Li, so that he could know what the consequences would be if he fought against the royal palace.

Killing Li Li is almost the same as killing an ant, so you can just take action secretly, but not now.

The Poyang Insider Liu Yan is a big source. Zhan Liang knew that the news was so loud that he had to be careful, so he could not let Xiaoliu Yuliang have an accident, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

It is best to wait for a year or two before starting.

However, he couldn't swallow this.

"Waste! You bunch of wastes!!"

As he screamed and scolded, Zhan Liangxun looked in the voice, but saw the fat man kicking several child servants. The child servants were punched and kicked by him, but they did not dare to hide, let alone resist.

Fortunately, the fat man didn't have a knife in his hand, otherwise he would have slashed his sword and slashed it randomly, and he might have killed a few of them on the spot.

Seeing the little fat man shouting "break your legs", Zhan Liang suddenly felt aroused: Isn't the husband familiar with that little official?

So....
