"Dad, our Bai family is a wealthy and powerful family in Shuozhou, and we have close ties with the Shuozhou government. Why are you afraid of a small soldier from the border army?"
Half an hour later, Zhao Muyun left the Bai family shop with a large package and walked away.
In the back hall of the shop, Bai Sheng, who had washed the blood off his face but was still swollen like a pig, was extremely dissatisfied with Bai Shouren's handling of the matter. He looked at Zhao Muyun's receding figure with eyes full of resentment.
Just now, Bai Shouren invited Zhao Muyun into the living room in the back hall with an extremely humble attitude. In addition to being willing to give fifty taels of silver as Zhao Pu's medical expenses, he would also let his son come to apologize.
You should know that when Bai Sheng caused trouble and killed someone before, he only paid twenty taels of silver as compensation at most.
"Also, you won't really let me go to his house to apologize to his brother, right? That farmer actually dared to resist and scratched me. I should have beaten him to death!" Bai Sheng muttered again.
"Shut up! You don't mess with anyone else, but you mess with his family!"
Bai Shouren stood up, his face dark as ink. "You don't know, this soldier is very fierce! If I hadn't given in temporarily, you would have lost your life here today!"
"He dared to take action in front of County Magistrate Ma and the police? Dad, don't scare me!" Bai Sheng was shocked to see Bai Shouren so serious.
"I am 80% sure that your uncle Lao Huang and others who disappeared were caused by this man." Bai Shouren said gritting his teeth.
"What do you mean? You found your uncle and others. What's your relationship with this kid named Zhao?" Bai Sheng's eyes widened.
"Your uncle is dead. Someone killed him and threw him into Black Camel Mountain. When I found him three days ago, he was already a pile of rotten meat full of maggots." Bai Shouren couldn't help but feel nauseous when he said this.
Bai Sheng cried out in horror, "Dad, are you saying it was this kid named Zhao who did it? Then why didn't you let Magistrate Ma and the officers arrest him?"
"Nonsense, what I asked your uncle to do were all shameful things. If the government finds out, he will lose his head." Bai Shouren looked at Bai Sheng fiercely.
"Don't we still have Lord Sun to support us?" Bai Sheng said unconvinced.
"If you don't want your father to die so early, don't mention Lord Sun in front of other people." Bai Shouren roared in a low voice, scaring Bai Sheng so much.
"He killed your uncle, beat your son today, and took away fifty taels of silver. Are we, the Bai family, just going to let this go?"
Bai Sheng then shouted again, "I'm going to arrest his family right now and force him to kneel before me and beg for mercy!"
Bai Shouren glanced at Bai Sheng with disdain:
"All you know is fighting and killing. We're businessmen, can't you use your brains? You hit his eldest brother, and he came looking for you and almost took your life! If you really capture his family, he'll definitely fight to the death with us father and son!"
"There's no need for us to fight against a soldier. He's just a small soldier. There are many people who want him dead. Do you understand?"
Bai Sheng was criticized, and he stood aside with his head drooped, nodding timidly: "Dad is right, I have learned my lesson!"
Seeing Bai Sheng humbly accept the criticism, Bai Shouren's expression softened a bit. He took a sip of tea and then said:
"Li Si and the others are a bunch of losers. How can they manage a shop so easily by letting someone break into the back hall? Deduct three months' salary! If they don't manage the shop well next time, I'll break their legs and kick them out of the Bai family."
"I'm going to Jingbian Military Town now. You stay in the shop and don't go anywhere else! If you cause trouble again, I won't let you off easily."
"Okay, I get it, Dad!"
......
"Xiao Yun, how could you let the doctor come alone?"
"Also, he's Doctor Liu from Guangning Hall in the city. Not everyone can hire him! It costs a lot of money to hire him for a consultation. Where do you get that kind of money?"
Zhao Muyun rode back to Zhaojiazhuang on horseback and saw a donkey tied outside his yard. He knew that Doctor Liu had arrived.
He dismounted and went to the yard. He heard a noise outside. Mother Zhao came out from the kitchen with a bowl of chicken soup. When she saw it was Zhao Muyun, she immediately started nagging.
"Mom, I was just doing something in town and was delayed for a bit! Don't worry about the doctor's fee, I've already paid!"
"Here is some silver. Please keep it and use it to supplement your household expenses."
Zhao Muyun smiled and unwrapped the package, handed it over, and then took the chicken soup from Zhao's mother, "I'll bring the chicken soup in for big brother!"
"Didn't you just give your uncle some money to buy chickens? How come there's still money? Xiaoyun, how could you earn so much money as a soldier?" Mother Zhao asked in disbelief, "Did you do something illegal?"
Before, Zhao Muyun's father joined the army, but not only did he not save any money, he even asked his family to send him some clothes.
It was not until Zhao Muyun's father died in battle that the Zhao family received ten taels of compensation.
Zhao Muyun had just given Zhao Wen ten taels of silver, and then said that he had already paid the doctor's consultation fee. How could this not make Zhao's mother wonder where Zhao Muyun's money came from?
"Don't worry, mother. I will never do anything that goes against my conscience and morality. You can keep this money. It was all compensated by others!"
"Compensation?"
Mother Zhao wiped her hands on her lapel, took the heavy package, opened it, and immediately opened her mouth in surprise: "So much silver! Who would be willing to pay so much!"
"The one who injured my brother! Fifty taels is a bargain for their family!"
After saying that, Zhao Muyun carried the chicken soup into his elder brother Zhao Pu's room.
Although she looked shocked, Zhao's mother hurriedly tightened the package and went back to the house to find a place to hide the silver.
In the room, Doctor Liu was putting down his medicine box, walking to the bedside, and taking Zhao Pu's pulse, but his face looked a little unnatural.
