Dark Fairy

Chapter 21 The cliche plot
Zeng Fei knew very well how desperate his current situation was.As long as there is any way, he will not be depressed all day long.Now he is like a walking corpse, living in a state of confusion all day long.

In the beginning, Zeng Fei was almost insane when faced with various creditors who came to collect debts.It's numb now.

I thought today was another day of incomparable innocence and waiting for death.Unexpectedly, someone came to the knife shop, which had not been visited for a long time.He didn't want to see him and wanted to drive him away, but the other party threw out words that made Zeng Fei's heart tremble.

Find a way to get him to pay off his debts?

Is this possible?

Even if his reason made Zeng Fei think it was absolutely impossible and he couldn't think of any way, how could those vulgar people in the knife studio come up with a way?

But what if?What if the other party really has a way?
With this in mind, Zeng Fei opened the door, and what he saw was a half-grown child who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old?Was it just this kid who asked to help him pay off his debts?Zeng Fei felt the anger of being played on.Of course, there was only some anger, which was already a rare "intense mood swing" in the past few years of his numbness.

He was about to slam the door shut and ignore the other party, but the door was held by the young man outside. The force was so strong that Zeng Fei found that he couldn't shake it at all.

Musha? !

"My name is Bai Lang. I am currently a street wanderer under Tang Zuo Dao Zuo, but I have just accepted the task of collecting debts from Boss Zeng and am preparing to be promoted to waist knife. So I hope Boss Zeng will make it easier. Even if you try, you won't let me If you give it a try, I'll probably bother you every day, because I'm afraid that Boss Zeng can't even go to the toilet quietly, and if he falls into the latrine, it's hard to say whether it's an accident or something else."

"You dare to threaten me!?" A hint of confusion flashed in Zeng Fei's gray eyes.It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm curious that the people in the knife shop in front of me seem different from those who have been here before.His words are sharp and his eyes are eager to try.

Is this person really going to help me find a way to pay off my debt? !Zeng Fei suddenly had such an intuition in his heart.It made him feel a little unbelievable.

Smiling at Zeng Fei who was surprised, Bailang pushed away the person blocking the door and walked straight into the room.He knew it before he came.Although Zeng Fei couldn't move, he didn't need to show any good looks.As a debt collector, Bailang naturally doesn't need to worry about the other party's feelings.

"you!"

Bailang ignored it and entered the door with his hands behind his back. There was a small courtyard inside, and then the house where he entered and exited three times. Zeng Fei now lived alone.The yard was littered with debris, and it seemed that it had not been cleaned for a long time.The only room with an open door was dark, and a sour smell wafted out of it.Bailang immediately gave up the idea of ​​going into the house for a walk.

Bai Lang looked around for a chair and sat down in the yard. Then he looked at Zeng Fei, who had a puzzled face and said, "Tell me, why did your business, which was so good, collapse overnight? Don't be careless. We know very well the result of losing power in the city lord's palace. But the key is why this result occurred? "

Seeing that Zeng Fei was silent, Bai Lang smiled and said: "You must have tried every means over the years, right? But all in vain. So now you are a dog in the water. You don't need to think about whether the rope handed over by others is strong enough. Anyway, you You don't have a choice, just grab it. The result won't be worse than it is now, right?
What if you really get the chance to come back to life?Do you just ignore it because of your ridiculous "judgment"?
Besides, if you had guessed everything and done it right, how could you have ended up where you are today?Right?

Tell me, see if I can help you.Do me a favor too. "

After listening to Bailang's words, Zeng Fei frowned slightly. He admitted that he was a little touched, and also admitted that there was nothing wrong with what the other party said.He is indeed nothing like an insect now, so what are he worried about?Suspect what?Since the sword hall sent the other party, there is a reason for the sword hall. It is impossible for the sword hall to make fun of such bad debts as him.The plot was also the principal of the knife shop.

Help others and yourself?

"It's the eldest lady. She took away the charcoal and timber business that was originally in my hands and handed it over to her people to take care of it. She also threatened those merchants who had dealings with me, and caused My money ran out, and my funds were drained in one fell swoop. Then someone induced me to go to two knife restaurants to raise money, let me jump into the fire pit, and finally even my sister was cheated."

Bai Lang listened quietly, as if he was listening to a thrilling story of the ups and downs of life and conspiracies that flew by.The plot is old-fashioned, but it seems to never go out of style. At least in another world Bailang knows, there are countless similar stories that have happened.Even compared with those stories, what Zeng Fei said was not even very "interesting".

A business relies on pressure from top to bottom. This is not even a business to a certain extent. It is not an exaggeration to call it "making money while lying down" or "passing money".In essence, it is the same as the "cleaning fee" that the knife shop collects from street vendors every month.

And once the strong pressure from above disappears or turns around, the beneficiary will naturally be abandoned immediately, and the blooming flowers in the past moment will only be left in ruins in the blink of an eye.

This situation is actually not a dead end.What really drove Zeng Fei to a dead end was the water money from the two knife shops.

Having water money is like having two chains around your neck. Even if Zeng Fei wants to make a comeback, he has to break the chains first.But how can you get away with the money in the knife shop so easily?
Without the City Lord's Mansion to intervene, even if Zeng Fei's sister could give him some emergency help, it would still be a drop in the bucket.In just a few years, not only did Zeng Fei be completely exhausted, but he also dragged his sister, the second wife of the city lord's mansion, Zeng Yi, into the water. Gradually suppressed by the eldest lady.Can no longer compete with the eldest lady.

Such a trick is not very clever, it can even be regarded as a conspiracy.Blame Zeng Fei and his sister for their own carelessness, step by step unbelief and fall into the trap step by step, and finally formed a deadlock.

"What does your sister mean?" Bailang finished listening to the story and then went straight to the core.

"My sister told me to calm down. She can only help me save my life. There is nothing else she can do." The gloom on Zeng Fei's face quickly disappeared as he spoke, turning into the same numb expression as before.

Then Zeng Fei asked: "Tell me, how are you going to help me pay off the debt I owe?"

Bai Lang smiled and said: "To untie the bell, you must tie the bell. To put it bluntly, although your stupidity has nothing to do with the situation you are in now, it has more to do with the second lady's loss of power. What do you want for this account? If you still take the normal route, you will definitely not be able to reach it, so you have to call the second lady to help her regain power, and then your situation will naturally be solved."
