Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 73
Liu Shao took the IOU and threw it to the servant, and said calmly, "Let grandfather visit Lord Wang today."

Wang Yuntian ran away from the restaurant in disheveled clothes, knowing that he had gotten into trouble, so he didn't dare to say a word.

There was a faint smile on the corner of Liu Shao's mouth. It didn't take much effort to deal with people like Wang Yuntian. Even if he was sold, he would still help count the money. The only one to blame was Mr. Wang for having such a nephew.

It is said that there is a nest of snakes and rats, Mr. Wang has lived a long time and is still a seventh-rank county magistrate, nothing more than his body is not straight, and his lower beam is also crooked.

Mr. Wang was in a very good mood for two consecutive days because he solved the "big case". Today, he was lying on a chair and humming a little tune. When he was feeling proud, his subordinates reported that the old man of the Liu family had come.

Mr. Wang was startled and got down from the chair: "What did you say? Mrs. Liu?"

The concierge was also panicked, "It's Mr. Liu, and Mr. Liu is also here."

Lord Wang rolled his eyes several times before he said, "Please."

After thinking about it, Mr. Wang turned around and changed the government office. After all, Mrs. Liu is a second-rank official residence. Even if he has returned to the village now, his official position is still there.

Old Mrs. Liu was sitting there majestically, and Mrs. Wang stepped forward obsequiously: "What kind of wind brought the old man here, I don't know what orders the old man has when he comes to the humble house."

The tea in Mrs. Liu's hand was found by Mr. Wang after he emptied the storeroom. I hope to show respect to this second-rank official.

Seeing that the old man didn't even move his eyebrows, Mr. Wang was a little discouraged.

Old Mrs. Liu said indifferently: "I heard that Mr. Wang has made outstanding achievements in government, so I came here to congratulate you."

Master Wang was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Liu Shao next to him.Liu Shao waved his fan lightly, with an unpredictable expression on his face.

Thinking of the day before yesterday, when Liu Shao came forward to testify in the courtroom, but was refuted by Kong Linglong lightly, Liu Shao took a look at Mr. Wang that day, and now Mr. Wang suddenly remembered that look.

Mr. Wang secretly gritted his molars, and said with an apologetic smile, "This lowly official position is not worthy of the old lady's personal congratulations."

It seems that the grandparents of the Liu family have come from bad people, but now that the murder case has been resolved and the case file has been sealed, so what if he is a second-rank official, Mrs. Liu, if he has the ability to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to withdraw the file.

Mr. Wang was indifferent.He has been prepared for a long time, no matter what Mr. Liu said, he is not afraid.

How could Mrs. Liu not be able to see that Mr. Wang in front of him was no different from the one who flattered the Liu family that day. His eyes sank and he wanted to say something, but Liu Shao lightly held Mrs. Liu's arm.

Liu Shao waved his fan and said with a faint smile, "My lord, we are here today because it has something to do with your nephew."

Lord Wang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, took another look secretly, and said immediately: "Tian'er? How could Tian'er have anything to do with Mr. Liu?"

Mr. Wang still has self-knowledge. It is impossible for Wang Yuntian to be favored by Liu Shao with his little capital.

However, Liu Shao smiled, took out the slip of paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Mr. Wang: "Please look, my lord. Yesterday, your nephew Wang Yuntian was drinking at the Desheng Restaurant in the city. He didn't expect to be chased by Mr. Chen from the restaurant." In desperation, he borrowed 150 taels from me, and said that he would pay it back today, but now I can't find the prince's person, so he had no choice but to go to the county government, and please don't be offended."

What he said was gentle and courteous, but Mr. Wang had known for a long time that this Mr. Liu was far from being as harmless as his appearance.

When he heard about 150 taels, Mr. Wang's first reaction was shock, he was not stupid, so coincidentally Wang Yuntian owed debts in the restaurant, so coincidentally Liu Shao was by his side, his eyes suddenly turned, presumably he didn't learn that The incompetent bastard nephew has been tricked by others.

But seeing Mrs. Liu sitting majestically, and Liu Shao's business has nothing to do with him, Mr. Wang knew that he could only swallow the bitter fruit. At that time, he gritted his teeth and laughed with him: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Liu, my nephew. Parents left early and have been lacking in discipline, 150 taels of silver, I'll go get it and give it to Mr. Liu."

It’s not without heartache, Mr. Wang’s annual salary is only 200 taels, and Xianyang doesn’t have much money to earn, so he is actually very aggrieved, but the so-called spending money to avoid disasters, he can only grit his teeth and bear it.

Liu Shao glanced at Mr. Wang indifferently, with a half-smile on his lips: "Mr. Wang misunderstood, it's not 150 taels of silver, it's 150 taels of gold."

Mr. Wang had already turned his head to call for someone, but his ears trembled immediately when he heard the words. He turned around immediately and stared at Liu Shao's face fiercely, but Liu Shao shook his folding fan lightly and kindly reminded him: "Your nephew owes me the debt." Yes, it’s 150 taels of gold, if converted to silver, it’s 800 taels of silver.”

800 taels of silver? !Master Wang's eyes were about to pop out, but at this moment, Old Master Liu smiled coldly and took a sip of the tea in hand.

Mr. Wang's fingers trembled slightly. His current savings were almost emptied of the same amount. Knowing what kind of stupid thing his nephew had done, Mr. Wang immediately gritted his teeth with hatred!
Old Mrs. Liu looked over coldly: "It's only natural to pay off debts. This 150 taels of gold, I originally bought Shao'er as a congratulatory gift for returning to Beijing, but was borrowed by your nephew. If you don’t want money, please write a warrant to arrest your nephew who owes you money.”

Only now did Master Wang realize that this was the purpose, to force him to arrest his nephew, and then he would lose all face in Xianyang City and even in the officialdom.

Not to mention, how could the imperial court promote a tainted person? No matter how many cases he uncovered, he would still be nailed to the pillar of shame.

"Old Master, what exactly do you want to do with Mr. Liu?" Mrs. Wang could only endure the humiliation and asked this sentence.

Liu Shao and Mrs. Liu exchanged glances, Liu Shao smiled first, and said in surprise: "My lord said that, it's because 150 taels of gold is not a small amount, and my grandfather was waiting to prepare a gift, so he came with me to Mr. Wang Ask here, if you really can't find Mr. Wang, I don't want to make trouble like this."

Mr. Wang felt aggrieved, but lowered his head, "This murder case of more than a dozen people has far-reaching implications, and the most important thing is that Mr. Suye of the Kong family. Because of Miss Kong's actions, everyone in Xianyang was staring at Mr. Suye. So this case, even if the lower officials want to suppress it, they can't suppress it."

He didn't want to get involved in the relationship between the Kong family and the Liu family. It would be too immoral for the Liu family to find fault with him, the county magistrate, because of Kong Linglong.

Mrs. Liu glanced at him, "I don't know how those dozen people died. It's such a coincidence that a dozen people could kill each other, leaving no one alive?"

This is the most ridiculous part of the whole case. Mr. Wang was shocked, looked at Mrs. Liu, and said cautiously: "Mr. Liu... If you don't believe me, I can ask you to read the autopsy report."

……

In Xiyuan, the melodious sound of Suye's zither spread, and the maidservants in Kong's house sighed, how many days has it been?Mr. Suye played the piano like this every day, and he suffered so much, just to get the lady's response?

It's a pity that Kong Linglong never showed up again except for going to see her on the first day and then sending her maid to her.

The man in black appeared from under the treetops, and said coldly: "Young master, why bother to flatter the Miss Kong family like this, since she is not pretending to the young master, she is not moved when she sees the young master being so troubled, such a woman is not worth missing The Lord treats it with sincerity.”

Su Ye was still concentrating on the piano, his fingers were long and slender, but the scars were already visible on the joints.

The man in black couldn't bear it, and even dared to break the strings with his knife.

At this moment, Su Ye's cold voice had no warmth at all: "What kind of woman Kong Linglong is, I'll judge for myself. If I hear you disrespecting Ms. Kong in the future, you can go back to the capital directly."

He doesn't need and doesn't need such a ignorant person by his side, and he is still not vigilant despite repeated warnings.

The man in black was indeed told many times by Suye not to talk about Kong Linglong without permission, and the man in black did try his best to be patient, but seeing Suye suffering, his fingers will be useless if this continues, how can he still pretend to be dumb?
The man in black knelt down: "Young master! This subordinate has followed you for many years. Your body is precious and precious. If there is any injury, this subordinate would like to replace the young master. Even if the young master scolds you, the subordinate should advise you Lord, you can't do this anymore!"

The man in black really couldn't bear it, and he was really loyal to Suye. He knew that Suye valued Kong Linglong, but he had to go against his temper and let Suye stop being obsessed with a businesswoman.

Su Ye was about to speak, when suddenly her eyes moved, she looked at the bushes: "She's back, you go back first."

As soon as the words fell, the man in black disappeared.

Nie Qianqian carefully held a bone china teapot, and walked towards Suye delicately and coquettishly, and put the teapot beside Suye's qin, she looked up at him with nostalgia in her eyes: "My lord, drink this ginseng soup first Play it again, how can your body bear it if you keep playing like this?"

But Suye said lightly, "I see, you go down first."

Unwillingness flashed in Nie Qianqian's eyes. Su Ye didn't even take a second look at her carefully drawn makeup. Could it be that she is not as good as a piano?

"My lord," her voice added a bit of resentment, "Why do you play it every day like this, the young miss has always only cared about the business of the Kong family, maybe she can't even understand the meaning of the zither?"

in the boudoir.

Yu'er looked at Kong Linglong and sighed softly: "Miss, do you really not care about Mr. Su Ye at all?"

She, a personal servant girl, can see it all. Mr. Suye plays so many tender tunes every day, and the water will come out of his ears when he hears it. Why is the young lady so unmoved?
Kong Linglong looked at the things in her hand, and said lightly in her eyes, "Why do I need to come, someone cares about him."

That gentle and lovely concubine Qianqian was the most caring concubine in her previous life. Liu Shao, who was so caring, wanted to divorce his wife and remarry. She sent such a person there. Could it be that Suye didn't understand the tenderness of her fingers?
