After becoming a villain, I was forced to save the villain

Chapter 302 His Cat (17)

As servants in the main courtyard, they are inseparable from this fire. After all, the weather is dry in winter. If they were more careful, they would definitely avoid this fire.

Now it all depends on how the master plans to deal with it.

"Master, the one in the woodshed has been sent to the police, what do you plan to do with the servants outside?"

They were bought for the purpose of guarding the home, but the master was almost burned to death last night. If it was done by other means, those people would have been beaten to death before the master opened his mouth.

Du Shiling didn't say anything, and after closing the notebook, he fell on his back on the rocking chair, raised his head slightly and sighed.

"Hurry them all out and change to another batch."

This is already a more merciful approach, but the servants outside are still crying and begging for forgiveness.

Is there a better way to live in this world than to stay in Du's house?
If they are kicked out, where else can they find such a good job now?

So those people would rather be beaten to death than just leave.

But Du Shiling doesn't care about the relationship between master and servant, what he cares about in life is value for money.

Obviously it's not worth spending money on them, so why keep it.

"Du San, take care of it before this afternoon."

"Okay, sir, don't worry, you can rest."

In this way, more than half of the servants in the main courtyard were driven away, but now that the courtyard has been burned, there is no need for so many cleaning and guarding servants.

Du Shiling temporarily moved to the unused courtyard next door, temporarily bought some bedding, laid it out, and slept here that night.

During the period, several other young masters and ladies of the Du family came over, one or two with hearts in their hands, and they were all relieved to see that Du Shiling was safe and sound.

Du San saw the expressions of these brothers and sisters and sighed in his heart.

It seems that they are really afraid that something will happen to Du Shiling. After all, the blood of the Du family is not stupid. Now Du Shiling is in charge of Lincheng's economic lifeline, and the Du family relies on his foreign trade business to continue to be the head of the family in Lincheng. , the status of their surname Du has risen with the tide, where is it not being sought after and cursing?

Especially after comparing with other families, this sense of superiority is even stronger.

Everyone in the family knows who supported the Du family. In this troubled world, it is an extravagant hope to live in peace and stability, let alone continue to be a master.

In the entire Lincheng, they least wanted Du Shiling to have an accident.

Once the leader of the family is gone, the warlord who now occupies Lincheng can swallow the entire Du family overnight.

Therefore, the people who came to visit all wished for Du Shiling's health, and no one added any trouble.

Especially Fifth Miss Du Xiao, who directly gave a silver kitten.

It looks exactly like that white cat named Bo'er.

Exquisite workmanship, small and vivid.

"I asked someone to do it for me personally. Brother doesn't like cats. I gave you this to be with you forever."

It can be regarded as a heart.

Du San helped to accept the gift and thanked him.

"Thank you, Miss Fifth."

For the next few days, Du Shiling stayed at home to recuperate. During this period, when the Du family passed through Xiongfengling, the bandits on the top of the mountain snatched most of the goods. When the goods were delivered, only [-]% of them were left. arrive.

Usually, the bandits robbed goods by depending on the people, especially the group from Xiongfengling, who had benefited a lot from Du Shiling, and had never robbed Du's family for three years.

This time it was abnormal, not only robbed, but also robbed the big head.

This clearly meant to fight against the Du family.

This kind of thing is commonplace for Du Shiling, and there is no law in the world that bandits will not steal your things after taking advantage of them.

So he remained calm, leaning on the sofa with a cigar in his hand, puffing out smoke rings in an easy-going and calm manner.There is still a thin layer of bandage wrapped around the hand, but it does not affect daily handling.

"Boss, do you need me to talk to Mr. Wu?"

Chen Jiang made a gesture of raising his gun, which had a clear meaning.

Now the leader of the bandits in Xiongfengling is surnamed Wu, known as Tiger Wu, and he is the most ruthless.

A group of strong men who fled from the north took over the mountain and became king after they could not survive. They bought a lot of guns and powder with the money they robbed, and now they have become the largest group of bandits south of Lincheng.

Wu Huhu took a lot of benefits from the Du family, and the silver dollars sent over every year were enough for their brothers and sisters on the mountain to eat and drink.

This time they broke the rules, so the Du family naturally couldn't suffer such a dull loss. Some of them had guns, and the Du family didn't lack them.

If there is no stick after letting them eat sweets this time, then there must be a next time.

Du Shiling, who was leaning on the soft cushion of the sofa, did not speak in a hurry, but quietly blew out a smoke ring. Under the palm of his left hand was a cat that was pure white as snow. This scene made the man's temperament more contradictory and strange. There was ruthlessness and indifference in his heart, but the movements of his hands were extremely gentle. He was wearing an expensive purple short mandarin jacket with a pure gold pocket watch on his chest, and a cigar that was slowly smoking was held between his slender fingers.

The smoke shrouded the man's eyes, making Chen Jiang unable to see his expression clearly.

After a while, the man got up, squeezed the cigar with two fingers and pressed it vigorously into the ashtray.

"Their appetites are not that big. Since they dare to do this, there must be someone behind them."

"You mean, this matter has something to do with Marshal Li?"

Du Shiling smiled, turned sideways and hugged the white cat beside his legs, and gently stroked it with one hand.

No matter how gentle the stroking is, how cold is the tone of speaking.

"If you haven't borrowed money, then use another method to grab it."

The price of that batch of goods was about 20, and now it has been robbed of more than [-]. The bandits in Xiongfengling can't swallow such a large sum of money.

Chen Jiang's face darkened, and he felt that this matter was a bit tricky.

"Then boss, should we give those goods to them?"

"No, you send the check to the Marshal's Mansion in the afternoon, and go to Xiongfengling to get the goods back in the evening. By the way, President Zhu's goods have also been stopped today, so take this opportunity to bring them back together."

It seems that the money should still be sent to Li Yuanlei.

Who made the Du family not have as many guns as theirs.

Chen Jiang, who took the check, rushed to the Marshal's Mansion immediately, and then successfully pulled the goods from Xiongfengling that night. In addition to the Du family's carriage, there were also a few carts of goods that were robbed by the Zhu family. was brought back.

In the end, more than 200 million yuan was exchanged for 10,000+ goods. This can be regarded as the worst transaction Du Shiling has ever made in his life.

Early the next morning, Chen Jiang came to Du's house just to deliver a letter.

"Last night, you asked me to return the goods to President Zhu. This is the president's thank you letter. Please read it."

Du Shiling was still holding the cat in his arms. The white cat was cute and beautiful, and its eyes were as beautiful as agate. It was like a delicate handle lying in the man's arms, making people want to look at it more.
