Chapter 215 Call the Parents


0

"General, wait a minute!"

An official beside Qiao Yunting stood up and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Yuan Jinhong, what do you mean?"

When Qiao Yunting saw his expression, there was nothing he couldn't understand. The person causing the trouble was related to him.

"Please forgive me, General. My brother is right here."

Yuan Jinhong's face was filled with shame, but he had to plead for his good-for-nothing brother. If he was really sent to the government by the Qiao family, the people of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would never be able to hold their heads up in the capital.

"Second Brother Yuan, you're not at home all year round, what does the evil done by Third Brother Yuan have to do with you?"

Xu Can couldn't stand it and refuted it for him.

"You know them all?"

When Qiao Xin saw Xu Can's attitude, she immediately understood that her grandson was most likely implicated by this kid's personal grudge today.

The other party was probably used to being domineering and thought he was picking on an easy target, but he didn't know that the other person was a tough guy.

"They all have a grudge against me. Yuan Laosan is the guy who used cuttlefish ink to cheat me out of five thousand taels of silver. He is Lu Le's third brother-in-law.

These guys are classmates with Dalang and his friends, and they usually don’t like each other.”

Qiao Xin understood all at once that they were a bunch of dissolute disciples who relied on their family's influence to do evil.

They bully boys and girls a lot in their daily lives, but no one is killed. When the victims come to them, their parents just give them a few words of perfunctory reprimand and the government tries to smooth things over, which makes them even more emboldened.

They should have known that this was the Qiao family's business before they came, but they just didn't take the Qiao family seriously.

Qiao Xin had already beaten him up, so she wasn't that angry anymore, so she said, "Please ask the parents. If a child is not well educated, it's the father's fault."

Behind every naughty child there is an unreliable naughty parent.

"Third brother, don't let Deputy General Yuan get up. Whoever made the mistake will bear the consequences."

Qiao Xin's cold voice echoed in the hall.

"For the sake of Deputy General Yuan, I'll give you a chance. Let the servant go back and inform the parents. I won't see you within an hour. The government prison will be your destination."

Just at this moment, a guard walked out from the second floor and bowed to Qiao Xin and Qiao Yunting.

"Madam, General, my master wants to see you!"

Yuan Jinhong's eyes went dark, his legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground. He kicked Yuan Jinzhou, who was pretending to be dead, hard, wishing he could strangle him to death!

He recognized at a glance that this person was one of the guards around the King of Qi. They couldn't hide this matter even if they wanted to! Maybe there was someone of high status in that box?

Qiao Xin whispered a few words to Dalang and then took Qiao Yunting upstairs.

After everyone left, Qiao Dalang said loudly to the guests who had not yet dispersed: "Thank you all for coming to support us. Today, our inn has not been well received. It is really the fault of the Qiao family. But we can no longer accommodate you at the moment.

To show our sincerity, starting from tomorrow. For the next three days, all customers who consume in our store will be given a 20% discount, and a gift will be given for every purchase of 500 wen or more."

Seeing the Qiao family's sincerity, everyone understood the situation. Although they couldn't see the excitement that followed, the real benefits fell into their hands. If they didn't leave, it would be really impolite.

"Okay, Young Master Qiao is so generous, we won't bother you anymore! Come back another day!"

Seeing that everyone had left, Qiao Dalang waved his hand and said, "Butler Yu, close the door!"

"Then how do we deal with the garbage on the ground?"

Qiao Sanlang made the final decision: "This is evidence from the crime scene. We must keep it intact to prevent others from accusing us of wrongly accusing a good person."

Qiao Erlang gnashed his teeth and said, "These bastards are like flies all day long, and they never stop. This time they come to smash our houses. If I don't tear off a piece of their flesh, I won't be called Qiao."

"Then should we discuss how to make compensation later?" Xu Can rubbed his hands and leaned forward with full of fighting spirit!

Qiao Erlang and Qiao Sanlang came up with ideas one after another. No matter whether they were reliable or not, they were put forward first and then everyone discussed them.

Only Yuan Jinzhou and the friends he brought with him were filled with infinite despair!

Qiao Dalang and the others did not avoid him at all. Every condition they put forward was destined to make them kneel in the ancestral hall, be punished by family discipline, or even be expelled from the clan.

He finally couldn't pretend anymore, and enduring the pain in his chest, he carefully crawled to Yuan Jinhong's feet, and begged for mercy in what he thought was a very quiet voice: "Second brother, save me!"

You tell them that I am willing to pay the price as long as the Qiao family lets us go!"

Yuan Jinhong pulled out his foot, snorted, squatted down, walked to his ear and whispered: "What did you do earlier? It's too late to say anything now. This matter is no longer up to the Qiao family.

The one who just came down from the building was the guard of the King of Qi, and the one standing not far away was His Majesty's companion Cao.

You are doomed today. The Qiao family is willing to take a step back and negotiate, which is already giving us enough face.

Look at you, you are already a father, but you are still so reckless. Is your head filled with straw? You are fooled by others' slight instigation?"

Yuan Jinzhou was stunned, and no longer cared about being afraid. He quickly reviewed what had happened recently in his mind. Finally, he realized that others were using him as a tool.

To be honest, he didn't have much hatred between him and the Qiao family, whether in private or in the court. Just because his second brother worked for Qiao Yunting, he shouldn't have caused trouble on someone else's day.

Even when he and Xu Can had a conflict, it was only because they couldn't stand each other's arrogance since childhood, but they really never thought of killing each other. The most they did was to dig a trap for each other and trip each other up.

He had never thought of not paying back the five thousand taels, but he was really short of money at the time and wanted to postpone the payment. However, he didn't know how he listened to the instigation of his bad friends and did such a shameless thing.

As for the so-called revenge for stealing his wife, can he say that he was wronged? The woman threw herself into his arms, and he only found out afterwards that she was engaged to Xu Can.

But now that things have come to this, he had sex with someone else while drunk and took away her innocence, so he had to give her an explanation. In his eyes, it was just like having another concubine in the backyard.

There are many such things happening among the rich and powerful families, and he thought it was nothing. However, he didn't expect Xu Can to react so violently and even say that he wanted to break off the friendship with him.

As for today's incident, he also heard from others that Xu Can was lucky and would make a lot of money if he cooperated with someone, and he might even surpass his father in the future. Under the influence of alcohol, the jealousy that emerged in his mind was magnified countless times.

Yes, he was jealous that Xu Can didn’t have to work hard at all and God just favored him.

We are both from aristocratic families, so why does he live so comfortably and have endless money to spend? But I only have three to five hundred taels of silver a month to support my family.

But now when I think about it, I just asked for trouble!

How can a bastard son of a duke's mansion be compared with the eldest son of Marquis Xiaoyao, no matter how favored his aunt is?

In the past, he was able to grow up eating, drinking and having fun with Xu Can, simply because others did not look down on him.
