Chapter 1236 Too Little
Not long after the meal, people arrived.
Zhou Guo muttered, "It came really quickly."
Mr. Chen went to the government office first to find the Lord of the Mansion. He had to find out where the other party came from. So far, he had no idea who the other party was, but he knew that he must be someone powerful.
He came with a generous gift. I don't think this was necessary in the past. It was good enough that he didn't come empty-handed and left with both hands full. Why did he still need a gift?
The Lord of the Mansion looked at the gift with mixed feelings. It was really a case of things changing over time. Now he was also the one receiving gifts. Everything was turned upside down. Just as Zhou Guo said, it was really interesting.
He said, "Master Chen, what are you doing? I don't accept this here. You should take it back, or you will harm me."
Master Chen smiled and said, "Sir, this is a good thing. I remember you liked it the most. I just want to find out who captured the child and what he wants. I will give him whatever I can get."
The two elder brothers are busy taking care of themselves, so the Chen family has to keep a low profile now.
The Lord of the Mansion sighed, "The noble young master has a bad temper. He, without knowing right or wrong, put a noble young master who had not offended him in jail..."
After talking about the grievances between the two, he finally said, "You are no stranger to this young master. Do you know the Xu family today?"
Mr. Chen was stunned. "Of course the Xu family knows about it, but what does it have to do with the Xu family? Aren't all the Xu family members in the capital now?"
He knew the Xu family better than anyone else. It was because of the Xu family that their family was in its current situation. If the Xu family had not caused chaos, they would still be able to call the wind and rain in Jinling. How could they have fallen?
The Lord of the Mansion whispered mysteriously, "Mr. Chen is offending the fourth son of the Xu family, Xu Anbei. If the Xu family takes over the world, this son will be invaluable."
Zhou Guo didn't tell him not to say anything, so this matter could be exposed.
"Xu Anbei?" Master Chen sat on the chair in amazement, unable to speak for a long time, "Xu family."
The Lord of the Mansion said kindly, "Brother Chen, we have heard of this young master before, and you know a little about his character. When you go to see him, be nice, say some nice things, and give him something. Maybe the young master can still keep his life."
The name Xu Anbei has been known throughout the country over the past year. Her actions in Huguang have made her famous overnight, earning her and the Xu family countless good reputations.
Master Chen murmured, "Why is this ancestor here?"
The Lord of the Mansion said, "To be honest, this matter is more or less your son's fault. If your son hadn't bumped into her, she might have passed away in two days."
……
Zhou Guo looked at the man opposite him, who was in his forties or fifties, with a goatee and narrow eyes. When he spoke, he squinted his eyes from time to time, and only a slit could be seen. He didn't know how many calculations were hidden in them.
The man kept apologizing, saying that he was blind and had not recognized a great man, and had offended an important person. He asked the lady to forgive him and let the child go.
Zhou Guo said: "Master Chen, this time, I am the victim. You said that I was walking on the road, but your fat son caught me and beat me up for no reason, and put me in jail. If my people hadn't arrived in time, I would have lost my head.
The fat young master is still trying to make me look bad and make my whole family die miserably. I should be the one saying this and we should be begging for mercy."
"Oh, no, no, no, sir, you are joking." Master Chen wiped his sweat, "My son is ignorant, he is stupid, he doesn't know anything at his age, he is spoiled by his grandmother, sir, don't argue with him, he is talking dirty.
Well, I also own a tea garden, a cloth shop, 800 looms, and a small piece of land. These are my gifts to you. If you don’t mind, they will all be yours from now on.”
Zhou Guo didn't comment and brought the tea after a while.
Master Chen went down trembling, cursing his son, what a coincidence, why did you pick on anyone else but him and ended up hitting a wall, now even heavy bleeding couldn't save the person.
He asked the Lord of the Mansion beside him, "What do you think this means?"
The Lord of the Mansion said, "What else could it mean? It's because you gave too little."
Master Chen took a breath and said, "Is this too little?"
He gave all this with gritted teeth, and it hurts so much, what else does he want?
The Lord of the Mansion kindly said, “It is said that what this young master likes most is land. What Huguang has spit out the most is land, which has occupied the land of the common people.”
"Humph, you are such a hypocritical person. I don't believe you. She really gave away so much land and didn't keep any for herself. What is she pretending to be? She is just like people like us, birds of a feather."
"Don't worry about anything else. Now you need help from her. Go down and get ready. I think she will not do anything until she sees the rabbit. Maybe your whole family will suffer."
Seeing that everyone had left, Zhou Guo walked into the back room. Fatty Chen was tied up with a rag in his mouth. He heard the conversation just now clearly. When he looked at Zhou Guo at this time, he realized that he seemed to have offended a powerful person. Even his father was timid in front of her and did not dare to stand up straight and speak.
Xiaoshu took the rag out of his mouth.
Zhou Guo said: "See? This is the father you've been thinking about all the time. Are you still counting on him to save you?"
When Master Chen returned home, the old lady saw that he had returned alone and her face darkened immediately. "You didn't bring the child back?"
After Mr. Chen explained this in detail, the old lady also fell down.
No matter how ignorant she was, she knew what this meant to Xu Anbei.
After a while, the old lady narrowed her eyes, her heart gradually hardened, and she said sternly: "Let's just go all out and never let her leave Jinling!"
Rather than waiting for your own family to suffer, it is better to strike first.
Even if the Chen family was defeated again, they had been in Jinling for so many years and had so many relatives and old friends that it was not that difficult to get rid of one person now.
By then, if there is no evidence to prove the crime, we can still trace it back to them.
The more Master Chen thought about it, the better he felt that this method was. Zhou Guo would not let them go anyway. Instead of passively waiting to be beaten, it would be better to take the initiative and perhaps find a way to survive.
At the same moment, everyone in Jinling knew that the fat young master of the Chen family had failed to play a trick on someone and had hit a wall, and was instead captured and detained. The master of the Chen family brought the master of the mansion to the door to ask for the fat young master of the Chen family, but they still couldn't bring the fat young master of the Chen family out.
This really shocked everyone in Jinling. They couldn't understand what kind of people were they? They were even more powerful than the Chen family. They even dared to detain the young master of the Chen family and even ignored the Lord of the Mansion.
However, Zhou Guo was in the study room watching the situation of the escort agency in recent days. After all, Nanjing was a big place with a large population and wealth. There were more orders than in the north, and most of the escorted items were valuable. In a short period of time, a lot of money had been made.
As expected, this escort agency has to be opened in a place like this, where a few months can be equivalent to a year in other places.
She asked Dashu, "Master Chu should be back by now. It's been so many days. Where is he?"
