Chapter 18 The Jewelry Store Owner Visits
On this day, Zhang Tianhe was discussing with his mother about his sister's wedding at home, when a large carriage slowly came to the door.
After the carriage came near, the driver got down from it, opened the door of the carriage, and a man stepped out of the carriage.
This man was quite tall, in his fifties, very well-dressed and elegant in manner.
The man came to the door, clasped his hands in fists, and said with a smile, "Is this Zhang Tianhe's home?"
"Yes," Zhang Tian and his mother, Wang Lao, looked at this person. They seemed familiar, but they couldn't remember. "Who are you?"
"Sister-in-law, please take a closer look and think carefully." The man smiled brightly and ordered the coachman to bring a lot of fine silks, tea and other gifts from the carriage.
"Are you brother Li Fengxiang?" Wang Yu finally recognized him.
"Sister-in-law, you have a good memory. I haven't seen you for many years, but you still recognize me, my brother."
"Come in, come in, what kind of fragrant wind brought you here today," Wang said with great enthusiasm, "You came right away, why did you bring so many gifts?"
"Sister-in-law, this is my brother's opinion. I can't express it. Please accept it." After Li Fengxiang entered the door, he saw Zhang Tianhe and said, "I guess this is my nephew Zhang Tianhe, right?"
"That's it." Zhang Tianhe stood up and looked at him, but he didn't recognize him.
"Tianhe, let me introduce to you. This is your uncle Li Fengxiang. I remember that when your father was alive, he and your father were good brothers." Zhang Tianhe said to his mother.
"What a talented person, a rising star." Li Fengxiang couldn't help but admire.
"Uncle Li, thank you very much." Zhang Tianhe bowed and saluted.
"Brother Fengxiang, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. I heard that your business has become very big and you have become prosperous!" Wang Lao said.
"Sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, I did some small business and earned two small sums of money," Li Fengxiang said, "I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything, so I came here today to ask you to help me."
"Oh? You asked us for help?" Zhang Tian and his mother were confused.
"Sister-in-law, I don't tell lies in front of real people. That's it. I'll tell you the truth. The Baiyinhaohe Jewelry Store in our county is opened by my brother," Li Fengxiang said. "It's just that I do some other business, so
,Under normal circumstances, I am not in the store."
"Oh, brother Fengxiang, you are a big boss and have made a fortune!"
"Oh, sister-in-law, forget it," Li Fengxiang sighed, "It was pretty good at first, but these days there is war and chaos, and business is not easy to do. Most of the goods in the store were bought by me through loan sharks, but in the past two days,
, a bunch of beards came in broad daylight and robbed all the gold, silver and jewelry in our store, even taking the contents of the safe."
"Ah!" Wang Lao was shocked when she heard this, "Is there such a thing? Is there no king's law? These bandits are so rampant that they dare to rob in broad daylight, so you should report it to the official!"
"
"I've reported it."
"Have you found out who did it?" Wang Yu couldn't help but ask.
"We found out through the investigation, but it's useless," Li Fengxiang couldn't help but shook his head, "The government won't arrest him."
"What should I say?" Wang Lao said, "Since we have found out who did it, why didn't the government send someone to arrest him?"
"The government has found out that Heiyun Village was responsible for this incident, but they cannot afford to offend Heiyun Village and dare not send officers and soldiers to arrest him," Li Fengxiang said.
"The government is still afraid of bandits?" Wang Lao was a little surprised and asked doubtfully: "Are cats still afraid of mice?"
"It's not that I'm afraid. The main reason is that there are too many people in Heiyun Village. There are hundreds of people. It has become a climate. Moreover, the terrain is dangerous and difficult to defend and difficult to attack. It is useless without a small number of people. The government is so anxious that it cannot mobilize so many people.
Manpower." Li Fengxiang said.
"Then the government can't solve this problem, so what's the use of coming to us?" Wang Yu said.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that Tianhe has many friends and his hands and eyes are very good, so I want to ask Tianhe to help me," Li Fengxiang said.
"Uncle Li, you think too highly of me. How could I, Zhang Tian and He De, be able to do such a big thing?" Zhang Tianhe understood once he heard that the Black Cloud Village was his godfather, Judge Du, and the others.
’s Aozi.
"Xianhe Tianhe, don't be too humble. I have learned that Judge Du, the commander of Heiyun Village, has adopted you as his adopted son." Li Fengxiang said, "No one can do this except you."
It can’t be done.”
"Uncle Li, everything else is easy to talk about, but I really can't do anything about this." Zhang Tianhe sealed his mouth tightly, knowing that his mother was most opposed to him dealing with those beards.
No matter what Li Fengxiang said, Zhang Tianhe would just shake his head and refuse to agree.
This time, Li Fengxiang became anxious. He stood up and said: "Sister-in-law, I, Li Fengxiang, am not the one who wants to settle old scores. However, since this matter has been settled here today, we have to talk about it. I remember back then."
, when Zhang Tian and his father Zhang Youfu were alive, we often played together. Relatively speaking, our family's conditions were slightly better at that time. During the holidays, I gave your family ten taels of silver, but not twenty taels.
?What kind of difficulties does your family encounter? As long as you ask, have you ever given twenty taels or thirty taels of silver to your family? Although it is not much, it is given to you. Have I ever asked your family for it back?
Pass?"
"Brother, you are right, this is what happened."
"Let me ask you again, how many times has your family Zhang Youfu lost money in the casino? He lost all his money and was refused to let him go or come back. Was it because I gave him money in advance to help him out?"
"Yes, I have heard him say this many times." When Zhang Tian and his mother heard Li Fengxiang mention the past, they felt that they owed him a lot, their faces felt a little hot, and they kept nodding.
"So, you have to be conscientious. Brothers, I am in trouble now. I beg you, can you bear to refute my face?" Li Fengxiang said, "If I have a way, I don't want to give it to you."
You are causing trouble."
"Here, here," Wang Lao looked at her son, "Tianhe, since your Uncle Li has come to ask us for help, let's see if you can think of a way to help him."
"Uncle Li, this matter is really not easy to handle. In that case, I will give it a try. However, let's talk ugly first. If I can help, you don't have to thank me. If I can't help, please don't blame me.
." When Zhang Tianhe saw that his mother had spoken, he couldn't refuse anymore.
