In a medium-sized courtyard, Hou Xiangyang was lying on the bed, and some servants were applying medicine to him.
Ever since he joined the Canghai Gang and ever since he became rich.
But I have never been treated so badly. Everyone who sees me must respectfully call me Master Hou.
"Damn, that little bitch is really ruthless.
Have someone keep an eye on them and don't let them run away. I won't let them go.
I want...hum...be gentle."
Hou Xiangyang cursed in pain. After several days, his injuries were healed enough for him to get out of bed.
He has already asked someone to invite Captain Ye, although of course he is a member of the Canghai Gang.
However, at this time, he did not want the gang to think that he was too useless, so he did not notify the gang.
After a while, Ye Jun, the chief constable of Yangzhou City, appeared, wearing official uniform and a long sword at his waist, looking very majestic.
Ye Jun took a look at the surrounding environment of the yard, which was only inhabited by rich people, so he slowly walked into the house.
Seeing Hou Xiangyang's appearance, he quickly said with concern:
"Brother Hou, who beat you like this? Tell me now, I'll take care of it for you. I still have some respect in this city.
Don’t they know you are my brother?”
Captain Ye naturally knew what had happened and even investigated to find out who this person had offended.
That's why it took some time. He had been in Yangzhou for so long that he knew which people he could offend and which people he couldn't.
He was cautious, bullied the weak and feared the strong, which was why he was able to get the position of Chief Constable of Yangzhou.
"Brother Ye, I was bullied. Those people attacked me in broad daylight in the city.
This shows a disregard for the government, the law, and Brother Ye!"
Hou Xiangyang exaggerated and repeated the story, which was extremely flattering to the person in front of him.
Captain Ye naturally understood what he meant.
However, he nodded to what the man said. After all, although he was an official, his salary was not that much.
It might be enough to support the family, but he also wants to marry a ninth concubine, and the money is not ready yet.
Hou Xiangyang is quite wealthy, so it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to help him out a little.
And he had also investigated and found that the person he offended was not a well-known figure in Yangzhou.
I also asked some friends I know. As constables, they naturally have a good understanding of information, but they don't know this person's identity.
That person had been in this city for about a month, and it was obvious that he had no cultivation at all, so he couldn't be from a wealthy family.
After all, the children of wealthy families need to have some level of self-cultivation.
"Ahem, Brother Hou, although I am the captain of the police, I cannot do anything illegal.
You just want to redeem your house. Bring the money and I will talk to you."
Captain Ye coughed twice, interrupting his complaints.
But he also spoke, with his identity as a congenitally strong man and the identity of the Yangzhou constable.
What's wrong with wanting to buy a yard at market price?
This was suggested by a clever young constable under his command, after all, it was better to just rob him directly.
The nature of the matter has changed, and it’s not your own money that you are spending.
Although I am not afraid, the relationship between this person and me is not worth it.
"Of course, of course. We are all law-abiding citizens."
Hou Xiangyang nodded quickly, then dismissed the servant and handed over a small box of silver.
"Thank you, Captain Ye. I'll treat you to some wine with this little bit of food. I'll definitely reward you handsomely after the task is completed."
"No, no, we are brothers, why be so formal?"
While refusing, Captain Ye picked up the small box and weighed it, feeling its full weight.
It was about a hundred taels. He nodded with great satisfaction, put it in his arms, and laughed.
As the chief constable and a congenitally strong man, the subsidies and salary given to him by the government are not low.
Ten taels of silver a month. You should know that the salary of a waiter working in a restaurant is about half a tael.
A formal constable earns about one or two taels of silver, which is not a low salary.
But for Captain Ye, who has to support nine concubines, this is not enough and he needs a little extra income.
Moreover, whether it is to get in touch with superiors or reward subordinates, money is needed.
This time, the person he was targeting was not a big shot, but he still earned a year's income.
Captain Ye would love to see more of this kind of thing, which is why he likes Hou Xiangyang so much.
Hou Xiangyang also laughed out loud, feeling very happy.
It seemed that the house had already become his own, as it was the ancestral home of his family.
He was excited when he thought of this. This was the first step for him to regain his dignity.
He wanted to tell those who looked down on him that Hou Xiangyang was back.
After Captain Ye left, he took out a fragment of the treasure map and hid it quietly.
The reason why he is so rich is that he got this treasure map by chance.
It records many places where silver is hidden. If you dig it out, you will become a rich man.
The next day, Hou Xiangyang and Captain Ye came with some servants.
The carriage behind him was pulling a box of silver and arrived at Zhao Que's house.
And they started making loud noises outside.
At this moment, Zhao Que and Zhao Li were drinking morning tea. They also heard the sound and frowned slightly.
"Master, outside, the man who was clamoring to buy the house that day is here again, and he's brought the chief constable from Yangzhou with him."
