Siheyuan: Don't mess with me

It's quite easy to search according to the picture.

When Zhou Cong returned to Dongzhimen Hundred Household Office, Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan had already brought people back.

Their affairs went quite smoothly.

Even though Wang Xifeng found some strong men in the capital who were arrogant and had some tricks through his family members.

But their tyranny depends on who they are compared to.

Compared with the common people, they are really awesome.

But facing the Jin Yiwei who eats people without spitting out bones, it is really not enough.

Even Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan knocked out their money without using force, and got a principal of nearly three thousand taels of silver.

In the hands of the borrower, there is still nearly 3,000 taels of money to be repaid.

"Brother Lu, brother Jin, thank you for your hard work. I'll give these fifteen hundred taels to the brothers!"

Keeping his word, Zhou Cong took out one thousand five hundred taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Lu Jianxing.

"Thank you, sir, for the reward!"

Lu Jianxing had received money from Zhou Cong several times. Knowing that he was not short of money and not pretentious, he readily accepted the banknote.

In the morning, Wang Xifeng has been busy in Jia Mu's yard.

First, he served Jia Mu after breakfast, and then chatted with her about Gao Le.

At noon, I had to have lunch with him, and they kept serving dishes and laughing.

It wasn't until after lunch, while Jia Mu was taking a nap, that she had the chance to go back to her yard.

I just sat down, took a sip of tea, and was about to catch my breath.

Then he saw Ping'er walking in with two servants, Xing'er and Wang'er.

"Second Grandma, it's not good!"

Xing'er and Wang'er lowered their heads and looked sad, and just said one sentence.

"Fuck you! You're the ones who are bad! What's wrong with me!"

Wang Xifeng was tired all morning and was feeling unhappy when she heard two servants talking like this.

He raised his hand and poured the tea out, covering both of their heads and faces.

"explain!"

Putting down the tea bowl, Wang Xifeng looked at the two of them.

"Second Grandma, our money has been stolen!"

Xing'er and Wang'er didn't dare to reply, or even raise their heads.

"What?"

This surprise was no small matter, and Wang Xifeng jumped down from the chair.

"It was copied by Jinyiwei! It was said that it was ordered by Zhou Cong, a thousand households in Jinyi!"

Xing'er said.

"Zhou Cong! It's Cong'er!"

Wang Xifeng frowned and recalled the nightmare he had had some time ago.

After being threatened at Ningguo Mansion, she had not been able to sleep well, always thinking that Zhou Cong would come and cause trouble for her.

There has been no movement from Zhou Cong in the past few days. She originally thought that the matter would be over. Who would have thought that Zhou Cong would take action again, and as soon as he made the move, it would be Qicun, and he would directly take the usury money from her.

"How much is the loss?"

Taking a deep breath, Wang Xifeng forced herself to calm down and asked.

"With interest, that's nearly six thousand taels of silver!" Xing'er said in frustration.

"Good boy, he's so brave! He even dares to touch my money, let's see if I don't..."

Wang Xifeng was furious and cursed loudly.

But when he said this, he stopped.

Indeed, Rong Guofu has some reputation in the officialdom, and her uncle Wang Ziteng is also a high-ranking official in the capital.

However, Jin Yiwei is the emperor's domestic slave, and she really has no idea how to control Zhou Cong for the moment.

"Second Grandma, the maid and the boys have been behind on their monthly payments for six or seven days!"

Ping'er didn't expect Zhou Cong to be so ruthless, and reminded him worriedly from the side.

"You don't need to tell me, I know!"

Wang Xifeng turned around and glared angrily.

Ping'er was so smart, he could tell at just one glance that Wang Xifeng must have doubts about him.

She suspected that it was because she told Zhou Cong about her loan sharking that made him so steady and ruthless. Wang Xifeng's life was to take action.

"Kneel down!"

Sure enough, Ping'er guessed correctly, Wang Xifeng looked at her coldly.

"Second Grandma, I didn't! It's not me!"

Ping'er knew that Wang Xifeng was cruel and ruthless, so she knelt down with tears on her face and cried bitterly.

"If it wasn't you, who could it be? Did you give all your private money to Cong'er? Also, you told him about Jia Rong, right? Ping'er, what benefits did you get from that beast..."

The more Wang Xifeng talked, the angrier she became, and she slapped him across the face.

Where Ping'er dared to hide, he was slapped hard, and a bright red slap mark appeared on his pretty face.

"Second Grandma, it's not me!"

Ping'er has always been loyal, but he didn't expect that what he got in exchange was Wang Xifeng's suspicion.

This slap hurt her very much, but her heart hurt even more. She couldn't help but think of Zhou Cong's words when he was about to leave his country, to stay as a beggar, not as a slave.

"Second wife, Miss Yuanyang is here!"

At this moment, Feng'er's voice rang outside the door.

"shut your mouth!"

Although Yuanyang is a maid, she is Jia Mu's maid, and Wang Xifeng has always been careful with her.

After threatening Ping'er, he pretended to be nonchalant and opened the door.

“I’ve met the Second Grandma!”

Seeing Wang Xifeng opening the door in person, Yuanyang was a little puzzled.

At this time, through Wang Xifeng's body, he could see clearly inside the house.

But seeing Xing'er, Wang'er and Ping'er all kneeling there with their backs to him, I knew that Wang Xifeng must be punishing them.

Although I am even more curious as to why Ping'er, a loyal person, hates Wang Xifeng.

But the master taught the slave a lesson, she didn't say it, and she didn't dare to say it. She could only say a blessing to Wang Xifeng, "The slave came to report that Zhou Qianhu came with a letter from the eldest girl. The old lady

I know he has been with you, and I want you to go over and meet him too!"

"That little beast still dares to come?"

Wang Xifeng became annoyed when she heard Zhou Cong's name and couldn't help grinding her teeth.

But this was Jia Mu's order. As a granddaughter-in-law, she had to endure it even if she no longer wanted to see Zhou Cong. She could only tell Yuanyang that she would be there soon and then sent him away.

"Go wash your face and let's go meet your old sweetheart!"

After returning to the house and saying a cold word to Ping'er, Wang Xifeng entered the inner room and started dressing up.

Returning to his old place, Zhou Cong still spent a lot of money.

This is not ostentation, but a necessary bribe.

His goal is to become a Cao thief, collect Dai Chai, and bring down the three springs, and he also needs the cooperation of these boys.

Following Menzi's guidance, he soon arrived at Rongxi Hall.

In front of the door, he happened to be walking across from Wang Xifeng and Heping'er.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's head full of pearls and arrogant, she couldn't help but smile.

But then, he noticed Ping'er again.

Although she washed her face and applied powder again.

But he couldn't hide the redness and swelling on his face and the sadness in his eyes.

Especially when she looked at Wang Xifeng, she felt a little uneasy.

"This is my fault!"

Ping'er was kind to him, Zhou Cong certainly kept this in mind.

“I’ve met the Second Grandma!”

Now that he realized it was his mistake, Zhou Cong wanted to make up for it, took a step forward, and bowed to Wang Xifeng carelessly.

Then he sneered and said, "Humanity is as green as a snake's mouth, and a wasp's tail is like a needle. It's easy to do both, but the most poisonous woman's heart!"

I used to think it was a joke.

Now that I have met the Second Grandma, I realize that it was you who was talking about this!"

"You...what did you say?"

Wang Xifeng did not expect that Zhou Cong would dare to scold her as soon as they met, and she was extremely shocked and angry.

"What? Did I say something wrong? What mistake did Sister Ping'er make? Do you want to humiliate her like this?"

"hehe!"

Hearing Zhou Cong mention Ping'er, Wang Xifeng sneered loudly, "Of course I can take care of my own slaves. Don't say I beat her, even if I beat her to death or sell her, it won't be your turn.

Talkative.

Cong'er, I know you are capable. But no matter how lenient the Jinyi guards are, they can't control the master's handling of the slaves!"

"Second Grandma!"

Ping'er was already sad that Wang Xifeng treated her like this, but she always thought about the deep love between master and servant. He knew that she was angry at her because she lost money, but he never expected that such heartless words would come out of her mouth.

.

I couldn't believe it for a moment and looked at Wang Xifeng blankly.

Seeing Ping'er's ashen face and eyes full of sadness, Wang Xifeng also regretted treating Ping'er like this.

After all, this is the most loyal girl around her.

But when she thought about Zhou Cong's threat to her and the fact that she had lost nearly several thousand taels of silver, she had no way to pay her monthly payment.

Once those maids and the boy got into trouble, the matter spread to Jia Mu's ears.

Not to mention that her status as the wife of the head of the family is not guaranteed, but her own reputation will be ruined.

Now seeing Zhou Cong speaking for Ping'er, I thought that the two must be connected. Such manipulation of Ping'er was a good opportunity to capture Zhou Cong, so the unbearable heart faded away, and he turned around and yelled in disgust,

"Don't put on a show like your parents are dead. Who are you showing off to?"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Wang Xifeng scold Ping'er, Zhou Cong laughed loudly.

Then, taking a step forward, "Second Grandma, if you dare to bully Sister Ping'er again, believe it or not, I will take you to jail right now!"

"Who can you scare?" Wang Xifeng looked at Zhou Cong with cold eyes and murderous intent.

I just felt like I was being targeted by a gnawing beast, and my breathing was stagnant.

But in everything under heaven, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

He took a deep breath and said, "Ping'er is my maid, I can treat her however I want!"

"It's true that Sister Ping'er is your maid. But Jin Yiwei is responsible for spying on intelligence and monitoring lawless people in the world. Second Mistress, are all your crimes recorded in Jin Yiwei's account?

Originally, for the sake of the relationship between master and servant, I settled the loan sharking matter for you.

I didn’t expect that you would dare to threaten me!”

"That's fine!"

Having said this, Zhou Cong held up the token given by Queen Liu Yan and said, "Second Grandma, should you go to prison and surrender yourself, or should I find someone to arrest you and take you to prison!"

"This is the Queen's order!"

Wang Xifeng was born into a distinguished family, so she was not completely ignorant.

But I was shocked when I saw the exquisite carving of the jade plaque, with colorful phoenixes carved on the top and dragon patterns on the bottom.

"Exactly! Do you want to try it?"

Zhou Cong pressed forward step by step.

Wang Xifeng is indeed a hero among women, but no matter how powerful she is, she can only show off her power in front of servants and brats.

Zhou Cong's men had already lost dozens of lives. He stepped forward with such murderous intent that Wang Xifeng's pretty face turned pale, her breathing was suppressed, and she could not even speak.

"Cong'er...Uncle Zhou, don't ask for it!"

Although Wang Xifeng treats Ping'er badly now, Ping'er still misses her previous friendship.

She knew that once Wang Xifeng was really sent to prison, no matter why he was arrested.

Even if it turns out she was wronged, her reputation will be ruined.

Not only would Jia Lian divorce his wife, but even her husband's Wang family could not tolerate her. Her best option was to hang herself with a white ribbon, lest the whole family be humiliated because of her reputation.

He took a step forward and knelt down to hold Zhou Cong's legs.

"Sister Ping'er, get up!"

Zhou Cong squatted down and picked up Ping'er.

Turning to look at Wang Xifeng again, "Sister Feng, for Ping'er's sake, I will not pursue the matter of usury. If I see you bullying Sister Ping'er again, or doing something illegal, then I will

Don't blame me for being rude.

Entering the imperial prison, no matter how iron-clad your teeth are, and you are as loyal as ice, you must obey the law obediently!"

"knew!"

Wang Xifeng was so aggrieved that she almost burst into tears. She had never experienced such grievances since she was so old, so she bowed her head and responded with a gentle smile.

"Good sister, Zishi, wait for me in the courtyard!"

Only then did Zhou Cong let go of Ping'er and spoke into her ear using the technique of transmitting sounds into secrets.

Ping'er had never seen such miraculous kung fu before. When he heard Zhou Cong's voice, he couldn't help but be startled and turned around to look.

But seeing Zhou Cong wink at him, he also remembered Zhou Cong's wolfish ambition towards him before. He felt ashamed, his cheeks turned red, and he lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

"Soar!"

Following Jia Mu's order, Yuanyang was waiting at the door just now, planning to greet Zhou Cong.

She saw everything that happened just now, and she was too frightened to come out.

Now that the situation was calming down, I walked out cautiously.

But look at Zhou Cong wearing a flying fish suit with a sword on his waist. He is rich and handsome, calm and powerful, with soaring nobility and overwhelming evil aura.

Recalling his submissive appearance in the house before, Yuanyang was filled with admiration and felt that things are right and people are different.

Seeing that the situation was now relaxing, she walked out and bowed Yingying, "I've met Uncle Zhou!"

"You're welcome, lead the way!"

Zhou Cong waved his hands and walked with his hands behind his back.

Soon, he entered the Hall of Rongxi.

"Zhou Cong has met the old lady!"

He looked up and saw Jia Mu sitting there, stepped forward and bowed.

"Zhou Qianhu, you're welcome! Speaking of which, are we still a family?"

Jia's mother bowed.

He looked at Zhou Cong with the same scrutiny, recalling the words he said about leaving his country when I met him here a few days ago.

At that time, I just thought it was extremely ridiculous, and I even thought that he would regret it within a few days of leaving Jia's house, and would cry and want to come back.

Now it seems that he took the right step.

In just a few days, how could he be able to reach a high position in the Qianhu Family of Jinyi Qinjun?

"This is a letter from the eldest girl!"

He turned around and saw that Mrs. Wang was also in the room. Apart from that, there were only the maids accompanying Jia Mu and a few others.

He was a little disappointed not to see sisters Chai Dai and San Chun.

"Is it okay for the eldest lady to be in the palace?"

Mother and daughter were connected, Mrs. Wang asked while taking the letter.

"It's not bad, and it's highly valued by the Queen!"

Zhou Cong said in an evasive manner.

Of course he wouldn't say that Concubine Wan Gui had ever thought of dealing with Jia Yuanchun, because only with his protection would everything be fine.

Although he did not fear the imperial power, he could not talk about the palace's secrets as a joke.
