The bright moon and the empty courtyard are like water like a Chinese year

Chapter 17

Location: "Mingyue Residence" - the Office of the Grand Master (Yaoguang)

"Yaochang, what have you been doing these days? How could you make a mistake in your account? Not only that, but you also missed a few large sums of money and didn't register them in the account."

"You've been home for so long, and you've been here at "Mingyue Residence" for a while, how do you still lose things like this?Don't you know the importance of ledgers?It's outrageous. "The Eldest Master (Yao Guang) is checking the account books of "Mingyue Residence" for this month in his office at the moment, and when he finds something wrong, he shows a fierce look on his face, criticizing and criticizing the Second Master (Yao Chang) severely.

"Uh bro, I"

"Yaochang, don't blame big brother, I said you, you think I don't know what you are like in "Mingyue Residence" on weekdays?It’s all right if you don’t study hard, if you can’t do the work you can’t do, or if you don’t understand the things, you should ask for advice, don’t think that you don’t know what you are. "

"Accounts can be miscalculated, let alone on weekdays, you know if I'm right or not"

"On weekdays, I don't care what you do with the guys in the store, but you should know how to measure it. You know how much I value you, and I hope you can get familiar with the business as soon as possible, so I let you study hard, so that you can help me in the future. I'm busy, the two brothers will take care of the business of "Mingyueju" together."

"How can you act like you usually do. You don't keep it in your mind at all. You can even make mistakes or miss it?"

"Brother, I will remember, I won't be like this again, I will be more careful in the future" the second master (Yao Chang) quickly nodded and agreed under the severe criticism of the elder master (Yao Guang).

……

……

……

At night, after "Mingyueju" closed, the second master (Yaochang) came to the place where he drank last time again with great frustration. Meng Dekai appeared.

Venue: "Drunk Bar"

"Brother Yaochang, why are you here? It's so late, why don't you go home?"

"Don't mention it, Brother Dekai, are you free now? Let's have two drinks"

"Okay. Let's go. Let's go in. If you have something on your mind, tell me slowly."

……

……

……

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the second master (Yao Chang) told the whole story of what happened in the office of the elder master (Yao Guang) in "Ming Yue Ju" this morning, and expressed his heart.

……

... (chat content omitted)

……

"So that's the case. No wonder your elder brother is like this. Don't be afraid to tell the truth. Even if you are unhappy and don't want to listen. I will tell you."

"Brother Dekai, if you have anything to say, just say it, you're welcome, I just want to find someone to complain about, listen to what's on my mind, let me vent, and give me some advice by the way."

"Yaochang, you also know that we have lived together in the same place since we were young. We are also neighbors. We are all men. I understand men. I understand you better than your sister. I understand your heart. Of course, I also understand your elder brother." "

"To be clear, it is"

"Exactly? Exactly what?"

"You are stupid, do you really understand or pretend to understand?"

"You can even think about it with your toes. Why does your elder brother want you to learn well?"

"Think about it, since ancient times, the sons of this wealthy family have inherited the family business. And your family, in addition to your elder brother, also has you. And, before you recognized your ancestors and returned to the clan, this family business has always been Your eldest brother is alone, and he works so hard to guard the family business, how can it be so easy, so simple, to let you take a share? Isn't it obvious that he wants to give you half of the hard-earned money? ?”

"You mean that my elder brother doesn't want me to interfere in "Mingyue Residence" at all?You don't want to give me half of the property? "

"I'm not sure about this, Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone."

"It seems that you will be in the Song family in the future, and you have to cheer up and do things. Don't be confused. You sold yourself and counted money for others. I don't know, hehe o(*￣︶￣*)o" the second master (Yaochang) After being so provoked by his second aunt (Yiyi)'s old lover Meng Dekai, he became even more impatient. Every night after "Mingyueju" closed, he would come to the "Drunk Bar" to get drunk or go to the "Changshu Bar". Win Casino" blocked two.

Over time, he lost more and more money, and owed more and more debts.He had no choice but to hide at home and not go out for two days.

Location: Corridor of the Song Family Hall
"Second Master, good morning, did you wake up so early?" At this time, Second Master (Yaochang)'s close maid, Xingxiang, was walking towards the kitchen with the breakfast his daughter Fourth Miss (Ruoying) had just eaten. .

"Where did you go? I couldn't call anyone, and no one heard me." The second master (Yaochang) said lazily and tiredly while yawning.

"I'm hungry, go get me something to eat"

"Oh"

……

……

……

"Yaochang." At this time, Mrs. Tai (Li Yue) appeared and stopped the listless and lazy second master (Yaochang).

"Mom, morning"

"Yaochang, what's the matter with you these two days? This person is listless and doesn't seem to be in good spirits. Is he feeling unwell?"

"Is it because the maids are not considerate in serving you? Or have you been wronged by working in "Mingyue Residence"? "

"No, it's just that I've had a lot of socializing with friends recently, so I go to bed late at night and can't sleep well."

"Really? Didn't you lie to my mother?"

"Yaochang, you are too old and young. I told you to marry another wife. You pushed back and forth. Well, I told you to go to work in "Mingyueju", and you didn't live up to it. Sigh, son, when will I let my mother stop doing it for you? Why don't you worry about it? "

"Now that your elder brother is in Shanghai, in "Mingyue Residence", you should learn more, learn it early, so that you can help your elder brother take care of "Mingyue Residence""

"Now that Weiren and Weijia are back, as the second uncle, you can't let the younger generation laugh at you."

"When they have all learned it, but you still don't understand it, won't it make the guys"

"Mother, I see. I have something to do, I'll go out first." As he spoke, he turned his head and left. Before Xingxiang, the close servant girl, brought him breakfast, he walked out of the gate of the Song family. Mrs. Tai (Li Yue) wanted to say a few more words, but she didn't listen.

……

……

……

I just left home and went to the casino again. I didn’t know that if I didn’t go out for two days, plus the previous debt, the interest doubled. On the third day, “Changsheng Casino” sent debt collectors to the door.

Location: "Mingyue Residence" - the office of the second master (Yaochang)

"Dong dong, dong dong" suddenly there was a soft knock on the door of the second master's (Yaochang) office.

"Come in."

"Second Master, there are two people outside who say they are from "Changsheng Casino" and they want to see you." Uncle Yuan, the shopkeeper of "Mingyue Residence", reported after he came in.

"see me?"

"Yeah, they said: As soon as I tell you they're from Everwin, you'll see them. "

"They also said that if you don't see them, they will go to the Elder Master, to meet the person who can make decisions in "Mingyue Residence""

"Please come in"

……

……

……

After a while, people from "Ever Winning Casino" came in.

"This is our second master." Uncle Yuan, the shopkeeper of "Mingyueju", brought people from "Changsheng Casino" in, pointed at the second master (Yaochang), and said to them.

"Uncle Yuan, you go out first"

"Oh"

"How about the second master, I didn't expect that we would come here to find you, right?" "Changsheng Casino" debt collector A said arrogantly and unceremoniously.

"Why are you free to come and see me today?"

"Sit down, sit down, have something to say"

"Our boss sees that you haven't been to the casino for the past few days, Mr. Er. Let us come over to see you." Debt collector A said bluntly.

"I'm not feeling well these days. So I didn't go."

"Really? Second Master, are you sick?" "Changsheng Casino" debt collector B said suspiciously.

"How about it, second master, when do you plan to pay back the money you owe our casino?" The debt collector B raised his feet, shook his legs, and continued with his hips on his hips.

"Give me a few more days and let me think of a way."

"How many days???" "Changsheng Casino" debt collector A asked doubtfully.

"Second Master, how many days has our boss given you?" Debt collector B said impatiently.

"No, no matter what, you have to pay us back the money, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the boss when we go back," debt collector A said firmly.

"That's right, that's right, no matter what happens today, you have to pay back the money, otherwise, even if the emperor comes, you won't have face," debt collector B said impatiently.

"You guys can do it, give me a few more days"

……

……

……

"Second Master, if you have no money today, if I give you a few more days, will you have money?" Debt collector A said disdainfully.

"No, if you can't give me an accurate answer today, return the money to us. We have no choice but to take this IOU and go to the Song family to find Mrs. Song or your elder brother, Mr. Song." The face of debt collector A was arrogant. Said bluntly again.

"It's useless if you go, my brother won't give you money"

"You can't say that, even if Mr. Song doesn't give you money, Mrs. Song Tai, your mother, she will definitely give it, because you are her son," debt collector B replied.

"Even if we offend Mr. Song, we have to do it once," debt collector A immediately replied.

"You guys are trying to kill me like this."

"Hehe o(*￣︶￣*)o, Second Master, how could we possibly harm you?" Debt collector B replied.

"As long as you obediently pay back the money today, we'll leave right away," debt collector A immediately replied.

"Money, I really don't have any. Even if you point a gun at me, I still have no money."

"Second Master, are you joking with us? You are a dignified Second Master of the Song family. Who doesn't know you in Shanghai? You say you have no money. Who will believe you?" said debt collector B with a sarcastic tone.

"Forget it, forget it, I said for a long time, if you don't believe me, I won't say anymore, anyway, I don't have any money, but life, I have one, you are not afraid of death, just take it."

"Second Master, we came out to hang out, and we are loyal, as long as you give me an explanation today. We can go back and talk to the boss, right?" Debt collector A followed suit.

……

……

……

Suddenly, the second master (Yaochang) turned his head and came up with an idea.

He pulled two debt collectors from "Changsheng Casino" and said to them: "Hehe, I have figured out a way. Let's go outside and have a cup of tea and talk slowly."

"Okay," the two debt collectors of "Changsheng Casino" replied in unison.

Location: private room on the second floor of "Huixi Building" - (the teahouse across the road from the two streets next to "Mingyueju")
"What? Second master, what did you say? You want us to kidnap you???" Debt collector A was surprised when he heard the second master's (Yaochang) idea.

"No, no, no, it's dangerous. If we lose our lives," debt collector B was also surprised when he heard it.

"Oh, don't be so timid, can you? I'm not telling you to do it for real, it's just acting."

"No, if Mr. Song finds out, we will die." Debt collector A continued.

"If you don't tell me, I won't tell you, no one will tell him."

"I'm not asking you to blackmail my brother, I'm just asking you to blackmail my mother"

"Madame Song?" The two debt collectors of "Changsheng Casino" asked in unison.

"Well, my mother just recognized me. For my safety, she must be willing to pay to save me."

"As long as you act well and realistically, my mother will naturally be fooled, and she will naturally give you a ransom."

"With the ransom, wouldn't the money I owe to your casino be written off?"

"Plus with the ransom, wouldn't you be able to make another fortune, so why not do it?
"Are you right?"

"But it's really risky and dangerous to do so," debt collector B said worriedly.

"You have to take this risk. If you don't take the risk, how will you get the money?"

"Don't you want money? After getting the ransom, I paid off the debt, and the three of us divided the rest."

"This thing, believe me, no one will ever know about it."

"That's it." The two debt collectors of "Changsheng Casino" said in unison.

"If you want to do it, share the money together."

"If you don't want to, I can't help it"

"Anyway, you can't get a penny. Think about it."

"Okay, okay. That's the deal." The two debt collectors of "Changsheng Casino" said in unison.

"If you don't want to do it, if you want to do it, you have to make it more realistic, you know?"

"In this way, if I am rescued later, no one will find out that I am acting."

……

... (discussion of how to carry out the kidnapping process is omitted)

……

That's it, the second master (Yaochang) and the two debt collectors of "Changsheng Casino" "conspired" in the private room on the second floor of "Huixi Building".
