Chapter 239 Help
Mingzhou, Baiweilou.
Ye Erquan and Sanquan Tieniu had just finished building a thatched hut.
"Huh..." Ye Erquan wiped the sweat off his forehead, "The semicolon here has been completed."
"Haha, second brother is confused. This Mingzhou Baiweilou is the main store! Our one in Nanzhou is just the semicolon." Ye Sanquan sat on the ground and fanned himself.
Ye Erquan smiled innocently: "Baiweilou has branches in many counties in Mingzhou. Once they are built, we can go home."
"Then let's hurry up!" Zhao Tieniu stood up and stretched, "I miss home."
The first time Tie Niu went on a long journey, he dreamed of meals cooked by his wife.
Ye Erquan and Sanquan didn't rest either, and packed up their things with a smile.
"Ye Erquan!" At this time, a short and fat figure walked in quickly.
Ye Erquan was stunned: "Manager Lin? Why are you here?"
Shopkeeper Lin panted and said, "Something bad happened in your family. Here is your letter."
As he said this, he handed the two letters to Ye Erquan.
After receiving Ye Daquan's letter yesterday, Shopkeeper Lin rushed non-stop and traveled for a whole day before arriving at the head office.
Ye Erquan only saw two letters, one with his name on it and the other with Su Hen's name on it.
Ye Erquan opened his letter, read ten lines at a glance, and his face changed.
He turned around and rushed out.
Ye Sanquan and Tie Niu looked at each other and then at Manager Lin.
Shopkeeper Lin frowned and said, "I heard that Madam Ye's family is harboring a notorious thief. Not only her family, but also Daquan's family and Erquan's family. All of them have been thrown into prison."
Sanquan and Tieniu's faces changed drastically. Sanquan said, "How could this be? No matter how foolish my sister is, she would never harbor a thief!"
"I don't know about that. Anyway, I received the letter and delivered it to her. After that... well, they can only rely on themselves."
…
Su family.
Su Hen looked at the letter in his hand and frowned.
Ye Erquan knelt in front of him, sobbing: "Mr. Su, please save us..."
In the letter Ye Caiping wrote to Ye Erquan, she stated the reason: County Magistrate Lu was impressed by her contribution in discovering the yellow-heart cassava and her assets, so he forced her to get married.
Let Ye Erquan ask Su Hen for help.
In Su Hen's letter, Ye Caiping also said that she was willing to give him half of the shares of the Hu La Tang workshop. In addition, there was also a more profitable glass business.
She said she had a secret recipe that could produce colored glaze in large quantities at a very low cost.
If he is willing to help, you can give him half of the shares.
After reading the letter, Su Hen frowned slightly and remained silent.
He and Ye Caiping have a cooperative relationship. Because of her spicy soup ingredients, the customer flow and profit of Baiweilou have increased by 30% compared to before.
He still admired and appreciated Madam Ye.
Su Hen sighed softly: "Although our Su family has been doing business for many years, we are just a merchant..."
Ye Erquan said anxiously: "Master Su, you have been standing firm for decades, you must have something to rely on. Let's not talk about personal relationships, let's just talk about money. My sister is very smart. Her spicy soup workshop is already so successful, and in the future, the glass workshop will definitely make a lot of money!"
"Mr. Su...just for this reason, please give it a try!"
Su Hen nodded: "Okay."
A glass workshop sounds like it could make a lot of money.
But right now it’s not a question of money, but it involves the government, which makes it a bit difficult to handle.
His ancestral home is Mingzhou, and he relies on the prefect of Mingzhou. As the richest businessman in Mingzhou, I hope the prefect can give him some face!
Su Hen handed a letter to the prefect of Mingzhou.
The prefect of Mingzhou still liked Su Hen very much. After all, half of the grain revenue in the entire Mingzhou was contributed by Su Hen, and he also handed over so many benefits to him.
The prefect of Mingzhou met Su Hen in his study and heard him say that a county magistrate in Nanzhou forced a commoner woman to marry...
Before he finished listening, the prefect of Mingzhou waved his hand and said, "Mr. Su is a smart man. He should know how to protect himself. Madam Ye has nothing to do with you, so stay out of her business."
"Besides, if this happened in Mingzhou, what would happen if I intervened? But that is Nanzhou's business, how can I cross the line?"
Su Hen had been dealing with government officials for many years, so he knew that they were all good at protecting themselves and acting independently. As long as their own interests are not involved, who will stand up for whom?
Su Hen thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Ye has a talent for business. She plans to build a glass workshop and she said she wants to give me half of the shares. I can't help her, so I won't accept the reward without merit. If you can help her, I believe she will be happy to give you half of the shares."
The prefect of Mingzhou said with a stern face: "I am tired, Mr. Su, please go back!"
Su Hen's heart trembled, and he cupped his hands: "Then I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The prefect of Mingzhou snorted and rubbed his temples.
Today he went after Magistrate Lu for half of his shares, but who knows if someone else will come after him for money tomorrow?
Besides, how could a small business run something as expensive as colored glass?
Su Hen returned to the Baiweilou main store.
Ye Erquan and the other two had been looking out the door. When they saw Su Hen coming from afar, they immediately rushed over.
"Mr. Su, how is it?"
Su Hen shook his head: "I'm sorry, Su has tried his best. This kind of thing is not something we, as businessmen, can control."
Ye Er's head buzzed and he felt like the sky was falling. Su Dongjia was the most powerful person they knew, but he was unable to help.
"Is this Ye Erquan?" At this time, two yamen runners came over and lifted Ye Erquan up, one on the left and one on the right.
"What are you doing? Let me go! Let me go!"
"We are the yamen runners from Yue'an County in Nanzhou. Your family is harboring a notorious thief, so we are here to arrest you and bring you to justice."
…
Ye Caiping's family was detained for five full days.
Only one meal was delivered every day, which was rice bran and brown rice porridge, so thin that you could see a person's reflection in it. Apart from this meal of porridge, there was not even any water.
Apart from food, the most difficult thing is the environment.
In the cell that is less than ten square meters, the men's cell is not so bad, with only five people, but the women's cell has nine people. When they lie down, they can hardly even stretch their legs.
It was damp and stuffy, and I almost collapsed after only living there for five days.
Originally, Wei would scream a few times, but now she is tortured to the point where she can't even make a sound.
Huan'er became even more feverish.
Ye Caiping held her in her arms, her face full of worry. She bought some antipyretic medicine from the space and put it in her mouth: "Take it."
Huan'er opened her eyes and felt a strange bitter taste in her mouth. She didn't ask any questions and swallowed the medicine with a gulp.
Ye Caiping wanted to buy an AK and kill everyone, but unfortunately there were no lethal weapons in the space, and it was not realistic either.
Wei said weakly, "Little sister, what should we do now? Look, Huan'er is sick."
Mrs. Du said, "Didn't you say you had sent the letter? You have to trust your man, he will definitely save us."
Wei raised his eyelids and said nothing.
"Go in!" An angry shout rang out, and Ye Erquan was actually pushed in by two yamen runners.
Ye Caiping was startled: "Second brother?"
Ye Erquan was pushed into the men's prison. The yamen runner locked the door and said to Ye Caiping, "Madam Ye, the county magistrate wants you to come over."
Jin'er and Huan'er quickly pulled her back: "Mom..."
Ye Caiping's heart sank. She patted their hands and followed the yamen runners away.
Old Lady Ye, Ye Daquan and others looked at Ye Caiping's departing back with panicked expressions: "Little sister! Little sister——"
Only when he could no longer see anyone did Ye Daquan turn around and look at Ye Erquan: "Old Er, didn't I give you a letter?"
Ye Erquan blamed himself and cried, "I'm sorry, I went to find Su Dongjia. Su Dongjia also went to find that prefect, but in the end, Su Dongjia said that the Mingzhou prefect couldn't help..."
Wei grabbed the prison bars and howled, "Boss... woo woo..."
Ye Erquan roared: "Stop crying, it's so annoying!"
Wei covered her mouth but couldn't help herself.
When she cried, Old Lady Ye, Mrs. Du and others also started sobbing.
The entire cell was filled with gloom and despair.
…
Ye Caiping came to the living room in the backyard.
Magistrate Lu was teasing a thrush in a cage when he heard the noise and turned around.
Ye Caiping was seen wearing prison uniform, looking disheveled and thinner.
He smiled and said, "Madam Ye, have you thought it through?"
Ye Caiping looked gloomy. When she saw Ye Erquan coming back, she knew that the game could not be solved. Because she is just a commoner at the bottom of society, and above her is a huge net.
Seeing that she remained silent, Magistrate Lu continued, "How about this, I'll give you another three days. If you still don't respond, I won't marry you. I'll marry your two daughters. How about that?"
Ye Caiping suddenly looked up and stared at him coldly.
This shameless and despicable Lao Deng!
