Awakened Xiangfu Qianjin

Chapter 18 Unscrupulous profiteers

With 100 taels of silver bills in his arms, Chu Yutang, who was full of smiles, walked out of the prime minister's mansion and walked straight towards Renshoufang.Although she has not been in the capital for a long time, she has long been used to treating Renshou Fang, where Liu Feng and his wife lived, as a place close to her.When she had nowhere to go and was at a loss, it was the kind and honest Liu family who took her in. The short time they got along with each other diluted Chu Yutang's tension and loneliness when she first arrived in a strange place.

Halfway down the road, Chu Yutang thought about it, took another detour, and went to buy two jugs of green plum wine.Thinking back to the past, it was Big Brother Liu who invited her to eat meat and drink soup. Now that she has money in hand, naturally she can't visit empty-handed.

Holding green plum wine in one hand and two packs of pastries in the other, Chu Yutang had just walked to the door of Renshoufang when he heard shouting and shouting, mixed with the cries of some female relatives?Having a bad premonition in his heart, Chu Yutang quickened his pace, and soon saw a densely packed crowd.

She is not a person who likes to watch the crowds by nature, especially after she has just experienced the fierce battle of recruiting relatives in the prime minister's mansion, now she is eager to walk around places where there are many people.Just when she turned around to avoid the crowd, she suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting: "You bullies, you do things that are against the law in broad daylight, is there any law in this world?!"

Chu Yutang stopped, turned around suddenly, and listened attentively, but the noisy voices quickly drowned him out.Chu Yutang muttered: "It's strange, the voice just now sounds very similar to Brother Liu."

After waiting for a while, the man seemed to stop talking, only a few muffled hums came out intermittently, but they had become very depressed.Chu Yutang repeatedly warned himself not to join in the fun, so as not to repeat the same mistakes.

Aunt Zhao, who was walking towards her, recognized Chu Yutang with joy on her face. She stepped forward and took her hand and said tremblingly, "Isn't this the new uncle of Xiangye's family? It's great that you are here, go and save her." You Brother Liu and Sister Liu!"

Chu Yutang's eyes widened suddenly. Aunt Zhao was an old neighbor who lived on the same street as Brother Liu. When she lived here, she met Aunt Zhao face to face several times.Seeing Aunt Zhao's excitement now, and recalling the speculation in her heart just now, Chu Yutang quickly turned around and ran towards the place where the crowd gathered.

Squeezing through the dense crowd, Chu Yutang saw Brother Liu who was pinned down by several strong men and couldn't move, and Chu Sui who was crying softly not far from him.What kind of hero is one who bullies the less?Chu Yutang yelled immediately: "Who are you? Why are you beating people in the street?"

The struggling Liu Feng raised his eyes with difficulty when he heard the sound, and when he saw Chu Yutang, he was overjoyed for a moment, but he also forgot the anger and pain just now, and opened the corner of his injured mouth to smile at her.Reluctantly, his chin was blocked by the headed strong man with his hand, and he couldn't move even if he wanted to.

Seeing this, Chu Yutang felt dissatisfied. He couldn't bear to see such rude and rude behavior, let alone brother Liu being treated like this.She took two steps forward, moved the cake in her hand to the hand holding the wine, pointed at the group of people, and yelled angrily: "This is the capital, under the feet of the emperor, you are bullying the people like this, are you disregarding the law? "

When she was in Jiangnan, Chu Yutang never said such a thing on any occasion, because her status determined her advantage, and no one dared to treat her like this.Even if the Chu family had conflicts with other families in business, it was He Mingxuan or other managers who came forward to resolve it. As the heir, what Chu Yutang had to do was to put his own seal on the final decision with the mistress Yan.

Now she doesn't have enough confidence to say this, but she has seen others do this before, and she stood up for Liu Feng without much hesitation.Unexpectedly, those strong men just looked at her when she first started talking, then turned their heads to look at the other side, and then completely ignored her.

Chu Yutang saw that they were unmoved at all, as if he took his words as deaf ears.Looking in the direction they were looking at just now, they saw Kang Youzhi again.

"Mr. Kang, is this your man?" Chu Yutang softened his tone, but he still refused to retreat in his imposing manner.

Kang Youzhi came this time for his family's business, so he didn't come with Qian Rugui.But he was also surprised to meet Chu Yutang here.If it was in the past, he would have laughed it off with disdain.But since the wedding banquet, Prime Minister Shi's actions have invisibly supported Chu Yutang.Now

In the entire capital, who would turn against this new uncle without winking?

"Mr. Chu, long time no see, how are you doing?" Kang Youzhi smiled and bowed to Chu Yutang.

Chu Yutang ignored his overtures, looked in Liu Feng's direction, and hummed.Seeing that Chu Yutang insisted on meddling with this matter, Kang Youzhi raised his hand to signal his subordinates to let go of Liu Feng temporarily.Seeing that her husband was let go, Chu Sui rushed forward, stroking her husband's bloodshot mouth and black eyes in distress.

It was only now that Chu Yutang could see Liu Feng's embarrassment clearly. It seemed that he had already experienced a fierce battle just now.She immediately became angry. Although she usually doesn't like to argue with others, Liu Feng is not an ordinary person.In her mind, the Lius and his wife were already her friends. If her people were bullied like this, how could she, Chu Yutang, have the reason to swallow her anger?

"Mr. Kang, can you explain what's going on? As far as I know, brother Liu is a mutton shop owner who keeps his duty. How could he have disputes with Mr. Kang?" Chu Yutang has not yet figured out the ins and outs, and I dare not arbitrarily accuse Kang Youzhi.But Kang Youzhi's reputation as a bully, she has already recorded him in her heart.

Kang Youzhi originally planned to sell face to Chu Yutang, but he didn't expect that this son-in-law not only turned a blind eye to his overtures, but also became aggressive with his mouth.This question, which sounds polite but full of resentment, seems to be a bit of a bully.

"Mr. Chu misunderstood. In fact, Kang just came to expropriate the house today. But Liu Feng not only refused to cooperate, but also called on other merchants in Renshoufang to boycott. In the end, he tried to beat me first. My guards were to protect I had to stop him first."

Chu Yutang turned to look at Liu Feng, and was relieved to see that he was fine except for some skin injuries.She thought for a moment, and asked Liu Feng: "Brother Liu, is what Mr. Kang said true?"

Liu Feng immediately spit at Kang Youzhi, and said: "How can there be any credibility in what he said, a scoundrel? Their Kang family is rich and powerful, and they want to expropriate the land of Renshoufang to build a luxurious mansion. Let us All the ordinary people who made a living here were driven away, and big houses were built for those rich and noble families. If you don’t believe me, ask the folks here to see if I have half a lie?"

Liu Feng spoke out Kang Youzhi's evil deeds in one breath, and the onlookers let go of their courage and followed suit.For a while, Kang Youzhi couldn't argue with anything.His face changed slightly, but he had already boasted about this land in front of his family, and he would definitely take it within ten days.Unexpectedly, Chu Yutang came out today.

"Mr. Kang, since it is expropriation, do you have legal and reasonable procedures? If not, what you did just now is rape and expropriation, which will lead to lawsuits." Chu Yutang has been doing business with He Mingxuan, and she has seen a lot. , and also a quick learner.Naturally, I know what procedures are required to expropriate the house after purchasing the land.

Kang Youzhi thought that Chu Yutang was a poor scholar, but luckily, he climbed to the high branch of the prime minister's mansion, and after a while, he forgot how much he was and pretended to be the boss here.But he still had to take into account Chu Yutang's identity, so he could only suppress the anger and contempt in his heart, and said with a light smile: "Kang has been doing business with his father and brother since he was a child, and he is very clear and familiar with business matters. You don't need to question it, Mr. Chu. I would like to remind you that after all, you are not deeply involved in the world and have no experience in business. It is better not to mix this matter. To avoid losing the face of the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister and Ms. Shi will not be happy."

What Kang Youzhi said was nothing more than a warning to Chu Yutang to stand aside and stop meddling.He didn't forget to remind her not to get carried away, and forget that she is the son-in-law, Prime Minister Shi and Shi Wanwan are her real masters.

"I'm afraid I will disappoint Young Master Kang. Brother Liu and Sister-in-law Liu are my friends and benefactors. My wife asked me to come here today to thank them for taking care of me before, and to express my gratitude to them. Let me bring silver to express my gratitude. If my lady knows that Mr. Kang, you treat my benefactor like this, what will she think?"

The corner of Kang Youzhi's mouth twitched, he missed Shi Wanwan, and he was always brooding about it.Now hearing that Chu Yutang brought out Shi Wanwan to threaten him, he was even more upset.His temper is used to indulgence, Chu Yutang has repeatedly failed to give him face, and now he humiliates him with a woman, which makes him unwilling to restrain himself anymore.

"Kang's company's expropriation of Renshoufang was reported to the government and discussed with these residents in advance. At that time, everyone stamped their fingerprints on it. Is it possible to do business without trustworthiness? According to it Fingerprints, do you still want to recognize them?" After finishing speaking, Kang Youzhi shook out a long scroll, on which were densely packed with many red handprints.

Everyone present was filled with grief and indignation. It was their handprints, but they were tricked into pressing them.Most of them are ordinary people at the bottom who make a living by selling their physical strength. Not many of them are literate, let alone understand the tortuous and convoluted terms of expropriation.Kang Youzhi bribed their workshop head and tricked them into pressing their fingerprints without telling them, which meant they were homeless.

"How much resettlement fee did you give them?" Chu Yutang saw the handprints on it, and saw the faces of everyone, and knew that the handprints were true, but the inside story might be more than that.

Kang Youzhi proudly put away the documents, stretched out his hand, drew out a word, and said proudly: "20 taels of silver per household, this is a unique good price in the capital. If Mr. Chu really wants to To help them, it is better to help Kang Mou persuade them, get the money earlier and move out earlier, life will be improved a lot."

Chu Yutang estimated that there were about a hundred families here, and the Kang family would have to pay more than two thousand taels of compensation.However, given the size and location of Renshoufang, the Kang family's business is sure to make a profit.

"What, Mr. Chu also agrees with my proposal?" Kang Youzhi saw that Chu Yutang was silent, as if he was thinking about something, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that Chu Yutang was silent, everyone panicked.Now the only person who can stand up for him is also persuaded by Kang Youzhi. It seems that they are hopeless.

"You see, people still need to study more. Mr. Chu is different from you. You don't come here because of others, but you can understand the truth once you hear it. If you study more, life will be easier for a long time." Kang You Zhi pouted, and looked around Renshoufang determined to win.

Chu Yutang raised his head slowly, and said calmly, "Master Kang, I will buy Renshoufang from you at a price of 30 taels per household. Would you like it?"
