Chapter 214 It's all fate
So, he, a servant, followed his master to the street in the middle of the night to build a rack with thin bamboo poles and bundle up the lanterns that had not been sold. He was so tired that his back and waist ached...
It was obvious that the Second Master wanted to please Miss Su so that he could get two good meals. Why was he the one who had to suffer all the hardships? "You have such a long face today, like a donkey. Are you owed money for your monthly salary?"
After Su Yujin and He Yanxiu finished their meal, Ai Cao looked at Xing'an and joked while he was cleaning up.
"It's not that vulgar at all." Xing'an curled his lips.
This is not a wound that can be healed with money! Especially in recent times, my heart has been pierced with thousands of holes, like a sieve, it is really uncomfortable!
"If that's not the case, then try to be more positive." Ai Cao brought out the food for the three of them, "Even if you can't be positive, then eat first. It won't be too late to be negative after you've finished eating."
Xing'an felt that what Ai Cao said was absolutely right, so he picked up chopsticks and started eating.
The stewed pork ribs are soft and tasty. You will feel satisfied after taking a bite, and they are not greasy at all. After chewing and swallowing, your mouth is full of fragrance. The marrow in the big bones is even more fragrant. After taking a sip, you can feel the rich flavor rushing to your head...
Xing'an ate with relish, throwing his chopsticks aside and just chewing the braised pork ribs with his hands.
"It's delicious." Ai Cao also praised it repeatedly, and even sighed, "I am lucky to be a little maid beside the girl."
That’s right!
Of course I'm lucky.
If he could eat to his heart's content like this every day, it would be enough to save him a few years of life.
Xing'an nodded again, but a layer of resentment appeared on his face.
They are all servants, and his job is to work in the middle of the night.
It’s all fate…
After noon, the front of Feng's shop became busy again.
One reason was that the Feng family was redeeming the prizes for the riddles again to make up for the regret that some people did not get their prizes yesterday, so many people who had received riddles went there one after another.
Secondly, at this time, the yamen runners would beat the gamblers with a hundred boards.
Such a gratifying event, many people naturally want to go and watch the excitement.
At this time, Jin Kai was pressed down on a long bench by the yamen runners. In order to prevent him from shouting and swearing, his mouth was stuffed with a cloth ball. On each side of the bench, there was a burly yamen runner holding a thick board, hitting Jin Kai hard on the buttocks.
“Pah, pah…”
Each time the board came down, the yamen runner used all his strength. In an instant, Jin Kai's skin was torn and flesh was exposed. Blood soaked his pants and flowed down the bench.
Jin Kai couldn't even scream as he fainted from the pain.
Upon seeing this, the yamen runner stopped, poured a bucket of cold water on him, and even pulled Jin Kai's hair to wake him up. Then he started beating him with the stick again.
The person must be beaten while awake. If he is unconscious, what effect will it have? Seeing this, everyone was talking about it.
"This is a terrible beating."
"Miserable? He deserves it! Who made him do such a sinister thing?"
"That's right. No matter if others live or die, it's not too much to beat this kind of person to death. A few blows with a stick are nothing. In my opinion, he should be beaten every day, and his wounds will heal and rot, and then rot and heal again. It will hurt him to death!"
"The key is that although Jin Kai has been captured, the person who ordered Jin Kai has not been found. What a pity."
"The county government has posted his portrait everywhere. If this person is from Qinghe County, we must dig deep to find him and send him to jail."
"I'm afraid they are not from Qinghe County..."
"Then he'd better never come here for the rest of his life, or else he'll be in trouble!"
“…”
Everyone was filled with indignation, and the curtain of a carriage parked not far away was lowered.
Fan Rongxuan curled his lips and said, "What an idiot. He is so clumsy and yet he was discovered doing such a thing."
No wonder he can only be a rogue.
"Third Master is right." The servant beside him sighed, "It's a good thing for the Feng family. They didn't get hurt."
"This kind of thing won't hurt anyone, it just makes them feel uncomfortable. It's a pity that the weaving workshop is so strictly guarded, otherwise it would be easier to just burn it down, wouldn't it?"
Fan Rongxuan snorted coldly, "But after this incident, the Feng family will probably become more cautious. I'm afraid they won't be able to find any opportunities in the short term. Well, let's just let them relax for a few days."
"Yes." Mingqian nodded and sneered, "The Feng family is really overestimating their own capabilities. With such a small family background, it would be fine if they only did some sales business, but now they are actually thinking of opening a weaving workshop and want Qinghe to become a small Songjiang. It's really ridiculous. Little do they know that they are just like an ant, and the Third Master can crush them to death with just a flick of his finger!"
But if the Feng family continues like this, I am afraid that in the future...
We still have to think of a way to cut off the Feng family's source of income.
However, I also heard that this business seems to be not owned by the Feng family alone, but by another family. I don’t know what the other family is like, what kind of family they are, and whether they can protect the Feng family.
Fan Rongxuan drooped his eyelids and said, "Send Liu Ba out and don't come back for a few years."
"Yes." Mingqian grinned. "People like this who messed things up should be sold out. Third Master is willing to give him a chance. Third Master is really kind."
"Let's go." Fan Rongxian narrowed his eyes and ordered.
"Yes, Third Master." Mingqian ordered the coachman to drive the carriage, and the carriage moved slowly forward and disappeared into the street.
On this side, when the brothers Feng Yuandong and Feng Yuanhao went to the yamen to look at the portrait in the morning, they found that it was someone they had never seen before. In addition, the Feng family did business in the market. On the surface, they were on good terms with other families and everything seemed to be peaceful, but there were usually conflicts of interest between businesses, and it was inevitable that some people would feel jealous. So the two brothers thought about it over and over again, but they had no clue.
Seeing that no clues could be found, Ye Yongwang ordered the yamen runners to search the streets with the portrait and to stand guard at the gate of the county town for inspection.
The Feng family sent servants and assistants to help the yamen runners search for people in order to find the culprit who intended to attack the Feng family. ——After the Lantern Festival, Su Yujin continued to prepare for the "Feimaotui" event.
As He Yanxiu's New Year holiday was over and he was about to start a new busy year, he left Qinghe and headed for the capital the next morning.
As soon as he returned to the capital, He Yanxiu received news from Lu that his cousin Fang was seriously ill and dying.
"Why did my cousin's wife fall ill so suddenly?"
"Your cousin is in such a bad mood. Your cousin's wife is always bullied. She must be very depressed. She has been sick for a long time and has been nursing her. A few days ago, she started to complain of chest tightness and shortness of breath. She felt a little breathless after walking a few steps. So I asked your aunt to invite a doctor to come to our house for a consultation."
Lu sighed, his tone heavy.
