Chapter 4
After the welcome banquet, Zhan's father and son returned to Tongcheng, Zhan Zuwang and Zhan Yunfei were still on the sidelines at first about Lu Ermin taking the initiative to talk to Zhan Yunxiang.But afterwards, the two of them did not continue to communicate, Zhan Zuwang only felt that the second son was really worthless, and presumably after some conversations, the high official lost interest.Thinking of this, Zhan Zuwang became even more dissatisfied with Zhan Yunxiang.After Zhan Yunfei taught Zhan Yunxiang a little bit of "self-knowledge", he wanted to get acquainted with Lu Ermin, who was as gentle and elegant as he was at first sight that night. However, he didn't know where he was, so he had no choice but to regret leave.
Not long after returning to Tongcheng, Zhan Yunxiang received a report from the manager of the bank, saying that a family surnamed Xiao in Xikou had been in debt for many years and refused to pay back, and hoped that he would remind him.Although since Zhan Yunfei came back, Zhan Zuwang has ordered Zhan Yunxiang to hand over most of the business to his precious son-in-law, but Zhan Yunxiang is still responsible for the money collection from the bank. Good, can't do such things.For this, Zhan Yunxiang wanted to refuse but could not. At least, he would not let Pinhui be scolded for doing nothing.
That night, Yun Xiang took the "Night Owl Team" to the so-called "Jiao Mountain Villa".As for the family of five surnamed Xiao, the old one went to his wife's grave and once again lamented the unsatisfactory life and missing her. As the eldest sister, Yufeng told her younger siblings about "a princess who escaped from marriage". A heart-stirring love story with the musicians".
At this moment, Yujuan suddenly threw the book to her side and stood up abruptly. "Sister, listen!" The two phoenixes were taken aback, and asked in amazement: "Yujuan, what did you hear? I'm telling a story!" Yujuan ran to the window, and after looking outside, her face suddenly changed. Shouted: "Cavalry! There is a team of horses coming towards us!"
The horse team quickly arrived in front of the villa, the horses neighed high, their hooves trampled on the dust, and the light from the torches directly reflected half of the sky red.A group of people rushed straight to the courtyard of Jiao Mountain Villa. "Rush in and drive people out!" Yun Xiang shouted.The horses rushed into the courtyard from all directions, and the fence around the courtyard was trampled and fell down one after another.Yufeng and Yujuan, with their younger siblings, were dumbfounded watching from the window.
When calling Xiao Mingyuan to come out several times failed, Xiao Yufeng rushed out first, she held her head up, the firelight shone on her face, but she also had an extraordinary beauty and momentum.She sneered: "Who are you! Could it be a group of mad dogs who come to other people's houses and bark at midnight!"
Hearing this, Yun Xiang couldn't help sneering. In the dark night, even his handsome face had a kind of horror, which made the other four people who ran out after that tremble unavoidably.During this period of time, Zhan Yunfei's self-righteousness, Zhan Zuwang's partiality and injustice, and Ji Tianhong, who he has liked for many years but regarded him as nothing, and who is clinging to Zhan Yunfei, the resentment towards these people, in the sentence "you Who is it?" The question broke out.
Yes, in that family, he and his mother Pinhui are nothing.But... Zhan Yunxiang narrowed his eyes dangerously, the long whip in his hand made a noise, and whipped towards the leader Xiao Yufeng. "Ah", Yujuan, who threw Yufeng down, was slapped hard on the face, and couldn't help screaming.Xiao Mingyuan, who happened to run over, was so frightened that he scrambled to get under Zhan Yunxiang's horse, and was almost trampled to death by the horse.
"Old man Xiao, you finally showed up! I'm warning you, if you don't pay back the money, believe it or not, I'll burn this poor village immediately!" Zhan Yunxiang snorted, his voice cold.When Xiao Mingyuan heard it, he shouted angrily at Yunxiang: "How can you do this? I owe you money, I work so hard, and I want to pay you back! How can you come to my house to kill people and set fire to it?" The five of them are so young, they have no enmity with you, and they didn't provoke you, how did you manage to do it? Yujuan is still a girl! You are simply not human, you are a devil!"
Yu Juan also came back to her senses at this time, caressing the bloodstains on her face, a look of hatred flashed in her eyes, "My surname is Zhan! Don't just be a tyrant here just because the family is rich and powerful! Our family is just owed I paid you some filthy money, but I didn't owe you my life! Unlike your Zhan family, who are covered in blood and have bloody hands! One day, they will be struck by lightning!"
Zhan Yunxiang just waved his hand, Tianyao got off his horse, stepped forward, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and raised it far away. "Look! Look! It's clearly written on it. If you don't pay back the money on August [-]th last year, all the houses, fields, and livestock in Jiao Mountain Villa will belong to Zhan Yunxiang! It was due in August last year. We have delayed you again and again, what else can you say?"
"That was written down because of a last resort," Ming Yuan shouted in grief and indignation.Standing beside Tianyao, Yujuan looked at the paper, suddenly leaped desperately and snatched the paper.Yujuan didn't say anything, and before Tianyao could react, he hurriedly stuffed the paper into his mouth, and without chewing, he swallowed it alive.Tian Yao exclaimed: "Hey! There is such a trick!"
Zhan Yunxiang had already lost patience with this family, and said: "You can swallow it if you want, this kind of thing, I have a lot of business. According to the IOU, this Zhuangzi already belongs to me, so..." He paused, Suddenly his face changed, he smiled softly, and his voice was low, but everyone in the audience shuddered. He said: "Come on, give me this young master, and burn this village!"
With a burst of screams, the wooden "Jiao Mountain Villa" burst into flames, and Zhan Yunxiang's evil emotions for many days seemed to be swept away, and he couldn't help laughing wildly.Looking at the burning villa, the six members of Xiao's family were crying one after another. Inadvertently, Xiao Wu rushed to the scene of the fire, only to hear her shout: "Little rabbit, I'm here to save you." Xiao Mingyuan As soon as he saw it, he rushed in.
Seeing his sister and father rushing in, Yufeng and Yujuan were about to rush in, Tianyao and his entourage quickly stopped him. "Don't go in again!" Tianyao shouted, "Didn't you see that the house is about to collapse?" The rest of the children stared at the raging fire, all of them pale in fright.
Such a change made everyone frightened. Everyone quieted down and looked at the fire scene in unison.Yun Xiang didn't expect this to happen, no matter how ruthless he is, he still doesn't want to put people to death.Tian Yao was silent, and all his followers were silent.Everyone stared at the ruthless fire.Suddenly, from the flames, Ming Yuan hugged Xiao Wu with his whole body on fire, and rushed out.Everyone was alarmed, and one of the attendants shouted: "Brothers! Let's save lives!" The attendants rushed forward, took off their shirts one after another, and waved at Mingyuan.Ming Yuan fell to the ground and rolled, Xiao Wu fell from his hands and rolled to the other side.
Although he came out, Xiao Mingyuan still died of burns, while Xiao Wu was unconscious.Yun Xiang didn't show any expression on his face, but he felt extremely guilty in his heart.But if something happened, he couldn't do it again, so he had to take out his money bag, hoping to make up for it for the time being, and arrange the rest for the Xiao family in the future.Unexpectedly, Yu Juan picked up the money bag, ran towards him, threw the money bag hard in his face, and roared: "Take back your stinky money, every dollar here is stained with your murderous blood, I can die of starvation, I can die of poverty, I won’t want your bloody money, with your money and blood debts, get out! Get out!”
Yun Xiang only felt a burst of anger, but because of his own fault first, he had no choice but to flick the whip, and said coldly: "Go!" Then he rode away.Little did they know that everything tonight fell into the eyes of the three who were not far away.
Lu Ermin rushed back to Tongcheng with his entourage, but unexpectedly watched such a good show outside the city.Seeing the uneasiness and guilt in Xiao Yexiao's eyes, he who was indifferent at first pulled a follower and told him to take care of those sisters who looked like they grew up in the greenhouse and didn't know the world, and then he left thoughtfully .
The author has something to say: In fact, I have always thought that the people of the Xiao family are very NC. You see, the old man said that IOUs were written out of necessity. Tsk, if he is capable, he will not owe money, otherwise he thinks that borrowing money only requires Does the mouth move, IOUs and the like are for letting people like him go.And Xiao Yujuan, where did she see the Zhan family's people with bloody hands and bloody debts, but she just asked him to pay back the money, she must be full of NC.
Disclaimer: In the original book, before Zhan Yunfei came back, Xiao Yexiao and Ji Tianhong got married.There is no marriage here, and Ah Yao couldn't bear to have Xiao Yexiao's body defiled by that kind of woman.Moreover, Lu Ermin's indifference will be brought up later.
