The fate of writers

Chapter 67 Confrontation between Zeng Hong and Du Chuanfang
As the Du family is a local family in Yin County, when Du Chuanfang came to visit, no matter how late it was, Zeng Hong still wanted to give Du Chuanfang face.

Moreover, Zeng Hong originally had the idea of ​​talking to Du Chuanfang to conspire with the future of the county, and perhaps he could use this time to reach a partial agreement.

"Mr. Zeng, I'm taking the liberty of paying you a visit. I hope you won't be offended. I really have no choice but to come to you." Du Chuanfang went straight to the point without any politeness.

The county magistrates have come and gone over the years, and they are very polite to Du Chuanfang. Even if it is for his own career, there is no need to be serious with Du Chuanfang. Du Chuanfang gradually regards himself as the local emperor.

Zeng Hong frowned slightly at first, then relieved, it's okay to go straight.

"I wonder what Master Du has to do in Yin County?" Will the Du family have trouble in Yin County?Zeng Hong didn't believe it.

"To tell you the truth, it was because of my mistake that I raised two white-eyed wolves. These two white-eyed wolves have planned for a long time. They cooperated with each other, stabbed my son, and fled. They only pity my son's right arm, even if Hua Tuo is alive. Difficult to cure." Du Chuanfang wanted to squeeze two tears when he said that he was emotional.It's a pity that his fatherly heart is not strong, and in the end he just raised his sleeves and pretended to wipe away his tears, but in fact he just rubbed his eyes red.

"Master Du, don't be discouraged. The doctor in Yin County can't cure him, so I will go to Pingbo Mansion to find a doctor, and go to Kyoto to find a doctor." Zeng Hong comforted a few words perfunctorily, but actually applauded in his heart. Du Chuanfang's three sons are not good people.

The eldest son quite got Du Chuanfang's true biography, he was insidious and cunning, he was rich and unkind, he was short of money in business, he had no faith and no righteousness.The second son wears a beautiful mask during the day, but reveals his true colors at night, and he himself does most of the disabled servants of the Du family.The youngest son doesn't pretend, he is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and others refuse to accept it. My father, Du Chuanfang, can be called a bully in Yin County.

Although Zeng Hong didn't know which of Du Chuanfang's sons had his right arm disabled, it was a good deed to do justice for the heavens and make people applaud.

"These two white-eyed wolves hid in the foreigner's hospital, and tricked a kind lady with sweet words to propose them. Although Miss Jiang Ling is a literary genius, she is still too naive in terms of human relationships, and is easy to be taken advantage of by villains." Du Chuanfang is conservative. For the sake of sake, Jiang Ling is described as a naive young lady who was deceived and used.If the rumors were false, he could turn his guns around at any time and say that he was deceived by the brilliant Jiang Ling, who actually harbored his family's escaped slave.

"Qianli lost his father at a young age and was raised by his widowed mother. It's a bit naive. We are all fathers, so we have to be considerate, what do you think?" Zeng Hong didn't know why Jiang Ling, who was busy writing Qingyun Road It will be related to the bad things of the Du family, but what should be defended must be defended.

"That's what you said." Du Chuanfang could only give up the script he had prepared and written specifically for Jiang Ling.I can't move you on the surface, but it's not too much to stumble you secretly.From today on, Jiang Ling is the most unwelcome person in the Du family. No one in Yin County can offend the Du family and still live a contented life.

"The story is very exciting, let's get down to business, what is the purpose of Master Du today?" Zeng Hong could only choose to believe the version told by Du Chuanfang.Just ignore everything like his innocent and pitiful son.

"Actually, it's nothing. I'm just going to beat the drum tomorrow to express my grievances. I hope you can make it easier for me. If you can help me catch the escaped slaves, the Du family will repay the kindness." Du Chuanfang did not show the money directly, which was too vulgar.If you want to do something in Yin County, it will be much more convenient with the cooperation of the Du family.

"Master Du always has a well-thought-out plan in doing things. Why do I need to do things conveniently? Or is it inconvenient for you to have a fair trial?" Zeng Hong's sharp eyes locked on Du Chuanfang.

Du Chuanfang was a little confused when he heard Zeng Hong's words. What does it mean to suddenly attack?

"It would be great for Mr. Zeng to have a fair trial. My Du family has always been a good citizen who abides by the law. Rumors are flying around. I just came here to inform you because I am afraid that I will offend your relatives and friends." Put away the look of wanting others, and said directly that I was worried about your favoritism.

"It's hard to come up with nothing. I've heard a lot of rumors that are hard to distinguish between true and false. I wonder if Mr. Du can explain it to me?" Zeng Hong was not angry when he was stabbed. Draw out an account book and hand it to Du Chuanfang.

The moment Du Chuanfang saw the ledger, his heart stopped suddenly, and the hand he reached for the ledger trembled slightly.

At this moment, Du Chuanfang thought a lot, this is what he sent to the door, and you want to take me into surgery?Don't blame me for sending you on your way.It is very reasonable for the Eastern Bandits to make such a scene, colluding with traitors and murdering the county magistrate.

Du Chuanfang flipped through the ledger, the first half made him sweat, and his eyes became more and more fierce. Fortunately, he was patient, and finally heaved a sigh of relief after reading the second half.

"Sir, how can you believe rumors and slander?" Du Chuanfang turned over the account book and pushed it back.

"That's really the best thing. If you think about it for a hundred years, the Du family will definitely not engage in such things as tax evasion, loan sharking, bribery, smuggling, and land annexation. The ancestors of the Du family opened warehouses to release grain, but the business was lost and the hearts of the people were gained. It can be called an act of benevolence and righteousness, accumulating blessings for the descendants. But if the descendants are not filial, no matter how rich the blessing is, one day it will be exhausted." There is something in Zeng Hong's words that clearly points to Du Chuanfang.

Du Chuanfang's face was not good-looking: "The Du family has a deep blessing, but the common people are incompetent and are just spendthrifts. The prosperity of the Du family depends on the descendants. Mr. Zeng has studied for so many years and finally got ahead. Cherish your blessings."

My Du family will continue to pass it on in Yin County, and my descendants will enjoy the glory and wealth of life after life. In the generation of my grandchildren, there will be no imperial examination restrictions. With money to pave the way, the future can be expected, but you, Zeng Hong, are just Those who rely on studying hard to get ahead, studying hard for more than ten years can only make up for the county magistrate, so take care of yourself.

"Thank you for your concern. Officials have what officials have to do, and officials are more disciplined. You mentioned the Eastern Bandit just now. Do you want to know more about the Eastern Bandit?"

"Appreciate further details."

"East Bandit was born as a fugitive slave, and his family had no land, so he had to work as a tenant farmer in a rich family. His name was Nong Shi, and his mother was seriously ill. He had no money to treat the illness, so he took risks and colluded with bandits to rob the rich family. It is a pity that his mother passed away in the end because the treatment was not timely."

Du Chuanfang's face became even more ugly. Is this making up a story?Tell him specifically.

Zeng Hong also knew that Du Chuanfang didn't believe it, so he added: "The background of the East Thief is no longer a mystery. It is written clearly in the communique. It's just that ordinary people are not qualified to know. I only mentioned it today because Mr. Du has asked me to beg him. Ordered.”

"Then I should thank you."

"You're welcome. The evils of the eastern thieves are too numerous to describe. I don't know if it's because of his life experience that he blamed all the faults on the rich households. Wherever the eastern thieves went, the rich households were ruined. It's okay to accumulate good things on weekdays. If there is a trace of blood, for the rich and unkind, the family will be ruined and the blood will be cut off." Zeng Hong looked at Du Chuanfang and said word by word.

Du Chuanfang's back was already wet. It was closely related to him. He had known for a long time that the East Thief hated the rich.

I wish big friends, children, happy holidays
