Chapter 66 Crisis
In the middle of the night, Yu Dapai just fell asleep with his little aunt. Suddenly, a wild knock on the door outside woke him up from a beautiful dream. My aunt was unhappy and turned over. She didn't care what happened outside.
Yu Dapai was not very happy, and muttered angrily, "Who is it?" It's so late, what are you doing!"
I only heard the people outside say, "Master is me, Lao Si, Lao Si is dead!"
This sentence made Yu Dapai immediately sober. I couldn't help waking up, but I was scared into a cold sweat. Yu Dapai touched a dress in a panic, hurriedly put it on his body, and hurriedly opened the door with his shoes.
Under the moonlight, the housekeeper's eyes are bright, like two stars in the sky. A gust of cold wind blew in, and Yu Dapai couldn't help shivering. The cold sweat on his body suddenly held back.
"Come in and say, what's going on?" Yu Dapai grabbed the housekeeper and closed the door.
The housekeeper groped, first took out the fire fold from the sleeve, and lit a candle with the light of the fire fold.
"Lao Si fought with a drunkard. Unexpectedly, the drunkard was the eldest son of the local big boss Zhang. There are several bodyguards around him, and they come up with a fat beating. There was a man who took the stool and smashed it down. Who knew that Lao Si, the long-sighted man, actually put his head under the stool and killed him all of a sudden!
"Damn it, I want him to solve him after he arrives in southern Xinjiang. Unexpectedly, he was really a short-lived ghost. He was so unlucky that he died so soon. OK, it's also a problem that I have solved a problem!" Yu Dapai said in a panic.
"Sir, I'm just afraid that Lao Si won't leave any evidence against us, right?" The housekeeper said.
Yu Dapai shook his head and couldn't be sure about it. He just asked in a low voice, "Where did I ask you to send someone to follow the fourth?"
"It's outside that he didn't repay until he saw it!" The housekeeper said.
Yu Dapai nodded and asked, "No one has seen him, right?"
"I asked about this, and he said that he was hiding in the dark at that time. When the eldest son of the Zhang family saw that someone was dead, he was also scared and ran away in panic. He wanted to see if Lao Si was dead, but the owner of the pub saw the murder and immediately called the clerk to go to the government office. He didn't dare to look forward, but he saw from afar that Lao Si's brain was flowing out!" The housekeeper said.
Yu Dapai nodded, but sighed.
"Why did the master sigh? The housekeeper asked doubtfully.
Yu Dapai sighed and said, "It's a pity that I have fifty taels of silver!" Hey..."
In the early morning of the second day, Zhen Xing and Qi Boxong walked into the Song family next door. Qi Bosong told Boss Song what he had seen and heard yesterday. Boss Song's angina pectoris immediately stopped.
"Boss Song, are you all right?" Zhen Xing quickly asked. If you have a heart attack, it will be troublesome.
Boss Song waved his hand. At this time, a little guy hurried forward to support Boss Song. Boss Song's face was pale, and big drops of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
"Boss Song, don't worry. Didn't you say that Boss Qian and you are young? You must know where they live, right? When you get better later, let's go find him together. Zhen Xing said.
Boss Song took two sips of hot tea and recovered slightly. His face finally turned pale from pale just now. Boss Song took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"Oh, brother, I hurt you!" Boss Song said sadly.
Qi Bosong quickly comforted him, "Brother Song, don't say that. There is still a easing in this matter! When you feel more comfortable, let's go to Boss Qian.
"To tell you the truth, I only know where their family used to live. Although this boss Qian has not been with me for many years, he only met him on the street a few days ago. He said that he made a fortune in business in southern Xinjiang and looked like a big boss. I believed it and started a business with him. Brother, I can't stand you!" Boss Song said.
Zhen Xing blinked her eyes and sighed. It's really cloudy and rainy again. During this period, my family's business was not very good, and such a thing happened again! What bad luck!
Qi Bosong felt even more uncomfortable. If it hadn't been for his heartbeat, he wouldn't have wasted a hundred taels of silver.
Boss Song took two sips of tea and stood up with the little guy's hand.
"Let's go, brother, let's go to the old money's house together!" Boss Song said.
In a narrow alley, I don't know how many families live in. From the alley, different alleys spread out, spinning back and forth. It's easy for first-timers to get lost here.
Boss Song explained to Qi Boxong and Zhen Xing: "This father of Qian Lao Si, like my father, used to be in business. We had built a big house next door to our house, and we lived a better life than ours. If you have more money, you won't be on the right path. Qian Laosi's father smoked a big cigarette. In other words, their family would not lose so quickly just by smoking a big cigarette. He gambled again. In addition, their concubine ran away with the housekeeper's money, and there was nothing left in the family. Just left Qian Laoshi and his mother. His mother cried and was blind. When she was a child, Qian Laoshi took care of her alone!"
Boss Song inquired about everyone. Finally, after tossing and turning all the way, Boss Song breathed a sigh of relief in front of a shabby door.
"It should be this one!" Boss Song said.
Seeing that the door of that family was not closed, Boss Song took the lead in. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Boss Song asked loudly, "Excuse me, is this Qian Laosi's family?"
shouted a few times, and the door of the main room opened, and a man in a government official uniform came out.
"Are you looking for money, Lao Si?" The man asked in surprise. Boss Song nodded. The man from the government said, "Come in. I'm the patrol of the government!"
Boss Song, Zhen Xing and Qi Bosong couldn't help looking at each other. Did the government know about Qian Laosi's cheating so soon? Unless it was Qian Laosi who cheated them and also cheated others.
Boss Song and the three of them hurried into the room, which was a very small room. I saw an old woman half lying on the kang. Under the kang, a woman in her forties was wiping her tears. Next to it, there were also two sergeant patrols.
"Brother, they are here to find money for Lao Si!" The patrolman who just called them in said.
Another patrolman looked at the three of them up and down, and asked frivolously, "What's the matter with you looking for money?"
Boss Song looked at Qi Bosong and hurriedly hugged his fist and replied, "These two officials, we are here to ask for an explanation. Qian Laosi cheated us out of our money. We are here to ask him for money!"
The patrol leader nodded, curled his lips and said, "Then don't ask for an explanation. Qian Laoshi is dead!"
"Ah? Dead?" Boss Song and three others asked with one voice.
The patrol leader nodded and explained impatiently, "Yes, it's dead. Last night, he had a fight with someone. He was accidentally injured to death, and the murderer has been taken to justice. The county magistrate is dealing with this case!"
Zhen Xing couldn't help taking a step back, as if there was a huge obstacle in front of her. I cheated them out of their money yesterday and died today? Is there such a coincidence in the world?
"Sir, are you right?" Boss Song asked uneasily.
The little patrolman sneered twice and pointed to the old woman who was ** and said, "His mother and daughter-in-law have gone to identify the corpse in person. Do you think it can be wrong?"
"Then... who will pay back our money? Qian Laosi cheated us out of one hundred taels of silver! Look, there are still documents!" As Boss Song said, he took out the document.
The little patrolman sneered twice and shook his head as if watching a joke.
At this time, Qian Laosi's daughter-in-law suddenly came over and knelt down in front of Boss Song and Qi Bosong.
"Two uncles, I'll find a way to pay back the money that Qian Laosi owes. However, you have also seen the situation in our family. Only my mother-in-law and I, Qian Laosi, have been out for so many years and haven't given us a dime. My mother-in-law and I live on my daily life by selling some food. Two uncles, you don't have the same valuable thing at home. Well, except for this house, you can take whatever you want! Or, the two uncles, wait a minute, and I will slowly save the money and return it to you!" Qian Laosi's daughter-in-law cried.
Boss Song's eyes widened, looked at the two patrol officers in surprise, and asked, "What about the person who killed Qian Laosi? He should give some compensation, right?
The little catcher sneered twice and said, "Compensation? Their family doesn't have enough money. The four families are rich! If they don't want money, they have to die! I told the county magistrate that killing people will pay for their lives, and there is no money to compensate! Well, the county magistrate sentenced Qiu Hou to be beheaded. Oh, if you want money, there must be no more! Their family is still orphans and widows. You can't force Liang to be a prostitute, can you?
Boss Song heard the words of the little patrolman and was about to say something. Suddenly, there was a pain in his heart. Looking at the sky, it's dark. Boss Song didn't even have time to call, and his head was stuck to the ground.
Zhen Xing couldn't help but be shocked and hurried over to test Boss Song's breathing with one finger. At this time, Boss Song was thin and stepped into the ghost gate with one foot. Qi Boxong hurried out to find the nearest doctor here.
Boss Song didn't have that good luck. Before the doctor came, he was out of breath - completely entered the devil's door.
Zhen Xing sat in a chair in a daze, waiting for Qi Boxong to come in with the doctor's medicine box in his head full of sweat. Zhen Xing shook her head, but she couldn't help crying.
Qi Bosong took a deep breath and returned the medicine box to the doctor. The little patrolman sneered twice and said coldly, "Well, this time it's all right. Let's call it a joke!"
Zhen Xing gave him a fierce look, as if she wanted to vent the anger in her heart.
