The carriage is still on its way, and it has arrived at Yong'an Street.The current Yongan Street is unusually quiet, without a ghost wearing a mask.

When he looked up, he happened to see the white belly in the sky. He only stayed in the ghost for a short while, and it was already dawn.

"Oh, what happened!" Kong Xiangyu hurriedly took off the fox fur on his body and returned it to Wei Ze, trying to get out of the car nimbly.

Wei Ze asked, "Where are you going?"

Kong Xiangyu said anxiously: "I forgot, I originally went to the casino with my second brother last night, but who would have thought that I would spend the whole night in Guishen. The second brother probably went back a long time ago, my Mrs. Li must have made trouble again! "

"Wait a minute." Wei Ze didn't say much, but lowered his head and blew on the silver bracelet in his palm, and handed it to Kong Xiangyu.

This silver bracelet was originally worn by children, at his age it would be good if he could squeeze three fingers into it, but he still accepted the silver bracelet.

"Thanks, I will have someone burn enough of the 27 taels of money for you some other day."

Wei Ze let go, and didn't say no, he chuckled and said, "The southeast, the copper coin shop is the exit."

"Thank you."

Fortunately, it is broad daylight now, and it is said that ghosts are afraid of the sun, which seems to be true.The whole Yong'an Street could only hear the sound of Kong Xiangyu's swift footsteps.

"Southeast, southeast, copper coins..." There are no ghosts, and the shops are closed. The so-called copper coin shop is actually a big paper lantern.

There was a broken bowl in front of the lantern, and there were a few copper plates in it, I don't know what they were used for.

He hurried back to the Confucian mansion, only to find that all the servants were waiting for him anxiously at the door.Feeling bad, this matter probably won't end so easily.

The young man was full of anxiety, and said as he walked, "Master, where did you go last night? The second son said that you lost a lot of money in the gambling shop, and the owner of the casino has found his home."

"What?" Kong Xiangyu exclaimed.

Ten taels of gold in Ghana and 30 taels of silver, this is not a small sum.His second brother went out to gamble on weekdays, and he spent 20 taels of silver to death, but he couldn't hold back when he had a lot of money.

The young man said: "Master was furious. The second young master said that when he went looking for you, you ran away because you were afraid of being scolded. That's why you didn't return all night."

The meridians in Kong Xiangyu's head were throbbing, why did he fall into such a second brother.

When he arrived in the hall, before his front foot stepped over the threshold, his father's generous and powerful voice roared angrily: "Bastard, kneel down!"

He sighed secretly, walked slowly into the hall, and knelt on the ground.

Mrs. Li and the second elder brother were also there, and there was a bookkeeper standing next to him, who was full of scorn, probably the gambling shop owner that the boy was talking about.

Snapped!

Before he could speak, he was whipped on the back and continued to kneel with a muffled grunt.

Mrs. Li hurried forward to stop her, and said, "Master, no, this old cane whip is very strong. I'm afraid the children will break the whip if it goes down. Xiangyu is still young, but it's only 50 taels of gold, so it's just a purchase." Just learn a lesson and just stop going.”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Kong Xiangyu who was kneeling: "Xiangyu, apologize to your father and say that you will not go to the gambling house in the future, hurry up."

When Kong Wuqing heard that it was 50 taels of gold, he was so angry that he wanted to whip several times severely on the spot.He scolded: "Prodigal son, bastard! Why did I give birth to something like you? Why don't you know how to learn from your second brother."

He pointed at Kong Xiangyu's face with trembling hands, and said: "How dare you not return all night, is there any good family's child like you."

Kong Xiangyu snorted coldly.

Since he came in, his father never asked what was going on.Mrs. Li and his good son, I'm afraid they have already made things right, and they will come back like this.

Mrs. Li knew that her son was fond of gambling, but she allowed his son to frame him.He really didn't understand whether the second brother was her own or not, how could there be such a conniving mother who watched her son's depravity.

Playing that loving mother all day long, I don't want to really teach a loser.

Kong Xiangyu's attitude that I'm right, but I don't want to say it, completely angered Kong Wuqing.He pushed Mrs. Li away and hit him hard.

The advantage of the old cane whip is that if you beat it too much, you won't be bruised, and most of them are internal injuries.Speaking of which, Mrs. Li found this sharp weapon, and it's called, it's not easy to break the skin.

When he looked up, he happened to see his second brother taking money for the casino owner, and the cloth bag in his hand was actually a betrothal gift from the Wei family.

He remembered that the betrothal gift had been put into the treasury, why it appeared in the hands of his second brother now.Could it be that Mrs. Li was so audacious that she gave his son a money bank patch without telling his father?

This is Wei Ze's stuff, and he still thinks that one day he can return it, and he absolutely can't be ruined like this.

He was whipped and said to Kong Chen: "It's not yours, if you want to pay back the money, you should pay it with your own money, don't use the Wei family's money!"

"What? You still have the heart to talk about your second brother?" His father was panting from the beating, and he swung the cane whip and sat down on the chair next to him.

Mrs. Li hurried forward to help Shunqi.

Seeing that the bag of gold was about to be confessed, he hurriedly got up, but the pain in his back was unbearable, and he lost his footing and fell to the ground.

After the gambling shop owner counted the money, he smiled and cupped his hands to Kong Chen, "Then thank you, Second Young Master, my younger brother's account is settled."

After finishing speaking, he collected the account book and left.

Kong Xiangyu reached out to grab the corner of the boss's clothes, but in vain.

"Don't go, you can't take this money... ah!"

Another blow to his back was so painful that he could barely speak.

Kong Wuqing was furious, and called him a little beast.

And his good second brother said with a full face of regret: "Father calm down, don't beat the third brother, but it's all about money, as the second brother, I can afford it."

Mrs. Li also said: "Yes, Chen'er has been sensible since he was a child, and it's useless to keep this money. Master, don't be angry. It's good to be angry."

The mother and son actually said that the Wei family's betrothal gift was the second brother's private money in a few words, confusing right and wrong, it is really abominable.

His father closed his eyes and said calmly, "You should pay the gambling debts yourself. Go to the warehouse and pay back the money to your second brother."

Kong Xiangyu lay on the ground without moving for a long time, just when his father thought he passed out and wanted to come and see, suddenly there was a burst of laughter against the ground.

He was tired from laughing, and his chest ached from laughing.

What kind of life is this life, both born to Mrs. Li, why is the elder brother Kong Bai upright and pure in nature.Is the second elder brother Kong Chen such a scoundrel?

Can't figure it out, he still can't figure it out.

His mother left early, and the elder brother who loved him is gone, but whoever treats him well will not end well.What's the point of staying in this family, besides forbearance or forbearance every day, planting blame, whipping and scolding, he doesn't want to live a day like this!

"Crazy, crazy, I'm afraid the third brother is bewitched?" Kong Chen was full of anxiety, and hurriedly summoned the servant to call the doctor.

Kong Wuqing was also a little scared, the lashes were ruthless just now, the child might have been broken.So he tentatively called out: "Xiangyu?"

Kong Xiangyu put his elbows on the ground and stood up reluctantly.

He turned around and saw three anxious and worried faces.Suddenly he felt even more ridiculous, why on earth was he born in such a family.

Pushing away the crowd, he staggered out of the Confucian mansion, and he couldn't hear a word of the voice calling behind him.

He found a deserted alley, opened the pile of empty vegetable cages in the corner, climbed up, curled up, covered himself with vegetables, and shrank in a place where he couldn't see the light.

His back hurts, his head hurts, he hurts everywhere.He took out the silver bracelet in his sleeve and sighed, "Brother, it would be great if you didn't die."

In an empty dark alley, among a pile of dilapidated vegetable cages, there was a depressing voice saying: "Mom, come back quickly..."

From dawn to dusk, the deserted alleys became more and more silent.Kong Xiangyu hugged his knees and fell asleep, thinking about his brother for a while, and his mother for a while.

Suddenly there was a cat meowing in the alley. The sound was far away at the end of the alley, but it seemed to be close to the ear.In a trance, there was a sound of footsteps in the alley, calm and powerful, with steady steps.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, until they reached the pile of vegetable cages.

Kong Xiangyu woke up quite a bit, but before he could move, the vegetable basket on his head was gently removed.

He squinted his eyes and looked up, it was Wei Ze who looked like an exile.

Wei Ze raised his hand and rubbed the top of his head, and said softly, "Xiangyu, you're home."

Kong Xiangyu's mind was muddled, so he followed Wei Ze away inexplicably.Along the way, he covered his face with his sleeve from time to time, showing shyness.

What a shame, what a shame!If he had known that he would be discovered by Wei Ze, he would not have shrunk in those vegetable cages.

Better to go to a restaurant than to be there, like an abandoned stray cat.The key point is that I still don't know how to explain it. I was going back to the Confucian Mansion in the morning, but I hid in a deserted alley for no reason at night.

The key point is that it is even more difficult to talk about it. He has lived such a big life, and he still makes such a childish trick of running away from home.If Wei Ze asked him, would he just make up a reason to fool him.

Wei Ze led him into a nearby restaurant and asked the boss how many side dishes he had ordered.

Kong Xiangyu was immersed in his own world, and waited until the dishes were served before asking: "It's strange, how can the boss see you?"

Wei Ze chuckled lightly and said, "I thought my brother would say, why did you come to the restaurant first instead of Wei Mansion."

Kong Xiangyu laughed dryly for a while, he really wanted to ask, but he was more curious about why others could see Wei Ze.Isn't he a ghost?But he actually said it, so he asked, "Then... why did you come to the restaurant first?"

This time Wei Ze smiled even better. He pointed to Kong Xiangyu's stomach and said, "Because you're hungry."

Immediately, his stomach growled twice in a timely manner, and his face turned red immediately.What are the two of them talking about in a rambling conversation, and the question and answer are pointless.

Xiao Er brought two bowls of white rice, and he quickly pulled out his chopsticks to eat without further words.

Sure enough, Wei Ze didn't touch the bowl of rice, he fumbled from his sleeve and took out a silver bracelet.

It was his elder brother's, and he looked up at him suspiciously.

Wei Ze said: "After you left, I went to see the entrance of Yong'an Street. Someone tampered with the coin shop. It seems that someone deliberately wanted to lure you in."

Kong Xiangyu put his elder brother's silver bracelet into his sleeve, swallowed the rice in his mouth and asked, "Why did you lead me in?"

Wei Ze said: "In order to let you buy a bracelet."

He was at a loss for a moment, so it was a deliberate arrangement to enter Yong'an Street that day.There is a person who is sure that Wei Ze will look for him after he goes in, and he is sure that he will buy the bracelet when he sees the bracelet when he goes to the crooked building.

Who is this guy?Those who can go to the crooked building should not be living people. He doesn't remember which dead person he offended.

Wei Ze stretched out his hand, wiped off the grains of rice at the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and asked, "Do you remember who you met before entering Yong'an Street, and what's unusual?"

The place where the corner of his mouth was rubbed was itchy, and he bowed his head in embarrassment and smacked again.

Before entering Yong'an Street, he went to the casino with his second brother.By the way, he met a drunk man who asked him to talk nonsense. Could it be that the drunk man has something wrong?

No, although he didn't know the drunk man's name, but the drunk man was a frequent visitor in the gambling house, he usually looked like this, he wanted to say a few words to anyone who caught him, it was nothing special.

On the contrary, his second brother was a little abnormal. Normally, if there were outsiders around, he would definitely pretend to be good.

That's right, it was precisely because his second brother didn't want to pretend that he left angrily and planned to go shopping, and then he saw the abnormal Yong'an Street.

So he said, "My second brother is not quite right."

The death of his eldest brother has always been a knot in his heart, and he originally wanted to investigate it on purpose.Now it was Wei Ze who asked him first, so he said, "I don't know if General Wei is willing to help me?"

Wei Ze smiled, and said, "Madam wants to investigate, I'm naturally happy for my husband."

"Ahem..." A piece of rice choked into the trachea, and he didn't recover for a while.
