A scholar becomes a landlord

"Shall we go to town to watch lanterns during the Lantern Festival?"

Wei Le said suddenly.

"it is good."

Yi Feng is a spineless person, of course Wei Le will be fine with whatever he says!

"Let's go back and tell everyone, we went together, there were so many people. Speaking of which, I haven't been there before, and they all stayed at home. I'm sorry for them."

Everyone went to the town to appreciate the lanterns, but he stayed at home, preventing everyone from going out.

"No, there are lanterns every year. If you want to see them, you will naturally say so." If you don't say anything, you just don't want to see them, so don't feel guilty.

"...Brother Feng, you will spoil me."

"Not afraid."

I just want to spoil you, so that no one will see your goodness, and they will not rob you from me.The scheming Yi Feng thought of it.

"Oh~~~"

Yi Feng spoils him so unprincipled, fortunately he is not a real boy, he will be nineteen in February this year, and he has been here for more than three years, time flies so fast! (Is it three years? The author is confused)

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there was a Lantern Festival. After eating the Lantern Festival at night, everyone packed up and went to the town in a carriage to watch the lanterns.

Wei Le and Yi Feng first helped everyone get a lantern, while he and Yi Feng got a pair of mandarin duck lanterns and separated them from everyone.

He and Yi Feng are going on a date, so what's the point of bringing a bunch of people along!

As they walked, they ate street snacks, such as peanut candy and Lantern Festival, Wei Le always only wanted one portion, and then shared it with Yi Feng.In this way, two people can eat a lot of snacks, instead of eating two stalls and being full.

"Where are your hands?"

Yi Feng suddenly grabbed a boy's hand, and there was a money bag in his hand.

Wei Le glanced at it, then subconsciously touched his sleeve.

"its mine."

Yi Feng returned the purse to Wei Le, and held on to the young man's hand, the young man's forehead was covered in sweat because of the strong hand.

"You can't do it with the third hand. Thief is not a good job. Seeing how skilled you are, you must be a repeat offender. Should I beat you to death now? Or send you to the yamen and let them kill you?"

Wei Le didn't let Yi Feng let go, the young man seemed to be sixteen or seventeen years old, he was also a little younger than Wei Le, he was a thief if he didn't look for a job.He looked down on such a person the most, and he had never been a thief when he was the most foolish.Although it was not easy to make a living in ancient times, it is not difficult for a person like him who is clever and good at hands and feet to find a job.

"You, you control me, let go. You have already taken the money bag back, what else do you want? Let me go quickly, or you will regret it."

The other party never forgets to threaten Wei Le even though he is in great pain.

"Brother Feng, see if he has any other money bags on him?"

"Yes, there are quite a few."

After searching the other party's body, I found five or six bags of money, each of which was a good embroiderer and not light in weight.

Ha, he is also a discerning thief, who specializes in targeting rich people.Wei Le took a look and found that the total amount of silver in these money bags was more than 100 taels, which was enough to send him to the Yamen.

"Ah~~ That's my purse."

Someone saw the familiar money bag and cried out.

"And mine."

"Mine is gone too."

Several well-dressed people shouted.

"I don't believe what you say is yours, let me tell you what's in it first! Come one by one, if you dare to pretend to be false, the big brother next to me will not show mercy!"

Wei Le took a look at the crowd, and sure enough, some eyes flickered and quietly retreated.

Hmph, if you dare to play tricks in front of him and don't look at who you are, how could you let them take advantage of you.

The owners came forward to tell the contents of their purses one by one. After confirming that the contents were consistent with what they said, Wei Le returned the purse to them.These money bags can't enter the government, and if they enter, they don't know how much they will be corrupted by the people inside.

"Master." Although everyone walked separately at first, the street is only so big, and soon everyone bumped into each other. Now seeing the two surrounded by a crowd, a group of people crowded over.

"You guys are here? Send this person to the yamen, and Wei Fan will accompany them." Wei Le said to Xiao Han.

"Yes."

The three escorted the thief away, and before leaving, Wei Le gave them Yi Feng's post.

This kind of behavior of stealing money will be released after a short period of time. Wei Le doesn't want to send people in, only to be fished out by others, so Jean took Yi Feng's post, so that they In terms of Yi Feng's face, it will make people shut up for a while, at least it is impossible to get in today and out tomorrow.

Sure enough, knowing that his subordinates were arrested, the boss of the thief gang took the money to get people, but was beaten out by the government. Of course, he didn't return the money.If you can come to catch a thief, the other party is definitely not a good person, so they are greedy for this money and feel at ease. In the end, everyone can get one or two for everyone. Sure enough, thieves are very rich.

The boss of the Thieves Gang is about to die of anger. Since he established the Thieves Gang in this town, except for Mr. Tian and a few big families in the town, no one has given them face. Be polite, after all, if you don't look at his face, you also need to look at Yinzi's face. This is the first time he has been slapped in the face by someone in the government.

However, after the incident, a person in the government who has a good relationship with him quietly sent him a message, telling him that he had offended someone, and that the thief was not allowed to be caught by the above, so let the other party give up!

Hearing this, the boss of the Thieves Gang was startled, and he didn't dare to fish out his most powerful thief anymore, so he led the Thieves Gang to silence for a while.

And the people who returned to Wei's house after admiring the lanterns didn't know that because of one of their posts, the most rampant gang of thieves in the town was frightened, and they didn't dare to come out to commit crimes for nearly a year. I couldn't help but quit the gang, and the Thieves Gang shrunk by more than half, and it was no longer as arrogant as before. Many townspeople clapped their hands and applauded.

Someone should have come out and cleaned them up long ago.The residents of the town let them do harm to them, and now they are fine. These thieves usually only dare to steal some worthless things. Crap.

For the sake of their own lives, the Thief Gang slowly began to transfer their bases, but it is not so easy for outsiders to survive in places already occupied by powerful forces, so the Thief Gang gradually disappeared in the Daqing Dynasty, and finally did not even drop the waves. stand up.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone went to bed late last night to view the lanterns. It was rare for everyone to sleep in together on this day. When they woke up, it was already past time. Wei Le drank a bowl of Jiuniang Yuanzi for breakfast.

Just after eating the Jiuniang Yuanzi, Li Dahai came to report that someone was visiting.

"Who is it? Let them in!"

Wei Le wiped his mouth and walked towards the main hall, and shook his hand at Yi Feng who wanted to put down the bowl, but he was just beside him and there was nothing to follow.

"Master Tian?"

Seeing the person coming, he was a little surprised, he had forgotten about this person, and he also forgot about asking Wei Fan to save his son.

"Mr. Wei, please forgive me for coming here today."

Master Tian asked the servants behind him to put down the visiting gifts, and there were several loads of them.

"Master Tian is really too polite, but it's just a small effort, so it won't cost you any money."

Wei Le clasped his hands and said, Master Tian came to thank him now, probably his son and the matter with that stall have been settled.

"Mr. Wei, smart people don't speak dark words. You are nothing. This is a century-old foundation that saved my Tian family. My Tian has only one son. If anything happens to him, my Tian family will have no successors." , I am not reconciled to adopting one!"

It's no wonder Master Tian is reconciled to the property he earned at the expense of other people's children.He has developed an ordinary rich man into the most powerful person in the town, Master Tian's ability can be seen in general.It's just that he was accidentally injured when he was young, which affected his heirs. The only son was born before the injury, so he regarded the other party as his lifeblood.Unexpectedly, the other party was still killed by someone looking for an opportunity. Master Tian really regretted it to death.

"Since Master Ling is well, it's a good thing. Master Tian doesn't need to take it to heart, after all, Master Tian is very clear about my purpose."

Wei Le straightened his sleeves and looked at the other party casually.

"Of course, of course, Mr. Wei, don't worry, Tian will definitely not trouble Li Village people."

Mr. Tian already knew that Mr. Wei who lived in Li Village and his few friends all had backgrounds, and the backstage was quite tough, which was not something a bully in a small town like him could afford to provoke.

"So, I can rest assured."

Wei Le got the answer he wanted, and soon served tea to the guests.If it wasn't for the people of Li Village, Wei Le would never have met a bully, and even accepted his thank you gift.

But since ancient times, there have been strong dragons who can't overwhelm local snakes. Such people have taken root in the town for a long time. He doesn't care if the other party dare not attack him, but what about the people in Li Village?Just raising a finger from the other party is enough to make people in Li Village feel sad.

That's why Wei Le chose to let Master Tian go, and even accepted the thank you gift that made him feel uncomfortable just looking at it.

"Butler Jin disposed of these things and exchanged them for silver and sent them to the Golden Buddha Temple for grandpa to give out porridge."

Wei Le stood up and left unwilling to take another look.

Butler Jin rummaged through it, and found that the pile of thank you gifts was at least a few hundred taels of silver. It seemed that Mr. Tian was bleeding a lot for his son, but the young master said no, no matter how good these things were, he couldn't take them.I went to the county seat to dispose of the things and exchanged them for silver, and then sent them to the Golden Buddha Temple.

The host looked at the money sent, feeling a little helpless.

Although his grandson loves money, he actually has a cleanliness in his heart.He doesn't want any money that is not clean, just like the thank you gifts from Mr. Tian, ​​Wei Le thinks they are not clean, so he can't keep even a single copper coin after letting Butler Jin deal with it.

And as his grandfather, he had to help him deal with the ill-gotten money.Anyway, it costs a lot of money to give porridge every year, so it's better to dissipate these ill-gotten gains.

After Wei Le went back, he turned around and asked Yi Feng to send someone to inquire about the Tian family's affairs. He was really curious about who wanted Master Tian to cut off his sons and grandchildren so cruelly.

But after two or three days, the person who inquired came back, and it was very clear that the person who wanted to kill Mr. Tian's son was his own younger brother and a servant who was ruined by Mr. Tian many years ago.

After saying this, Wei Le understood, no wonder the other party poisoned Master Tian's son so easily, no one doubted that feelings were the ghost!
