Chapter 84
Feng Chuli glanced around, sent away the two girls waiting outside the door, and asked softly: "Are you still worried about Qian Rushan?"

Yang Xi looked at Feng Chuli, pursed his lips, and nodded.

Feng Chuli sighed and looked at Yang Xi solemnly, "If this continues, when will this end?"

Yang Xi squeezed the tea cup tightly with three fingers, and his sharp eyes showed a cruel look, "He died so tragically that his family was almost destroyed. Even if I risk my life, I will make the person who harmed him pay the price!" "

"Yang Xi..." Feng Chuli looked at Yang Xi's stern expression. Even though he had a thousand words of persuasion at that time, he swallowed them silently and could only stay by his side quietly.

Yang Xi drank enough tea and didn't stop for much. He stood up with the long blade and said, "First gift, thank you for the tea. I have something important to do first."

"Going so fast?" Feng Chuli chased after Yang Xi and walked to the door. He hesitated for a while, then hesitantly asked: "Yang Xi, Qingyu hasn't seen you for a long time. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here. Why don't you go see her at home? She has been talking about you to me several times."

Yang Xi immediately shook his head, without any hesitation, "There will be a housewarming banquet in the new residence of Tang Mansion in a few days. I have promised Uncle Tang to go to the banquet. It will not be too late to see Qingyu by then. I will go now, you can go back. "

"But..." Before Feng Chuli could say anything else, Yang Xiren disappeared.

Feng Chuli stood at the door, as if he could already imagine the girl's disappointed look, and finally let out a sigh of pity and helplessness.

After leaving the Tang Mansion, Yang Xi went straight to the government office, but when he was still two alleys away from the government office, he heard a sharp noise.

Who is causing trouble?
He stopped and looked there, and caught a glimpse of two green-looking teenagers surrounded by several Tang family servants holding wooden sticks.

Yang Xi's eyes fell on one of the two teenagers, and his eyes were fixed, as if he saw the shadow of a person on the boy's face.

He frowned.

The servant looked at the two of them and scolded them in a cold voice: "You two brats, don't toast or eat as a fine. If you go home with these stinky money now, the matter will be over. We won't go into details." If you take the matter to the government, don’t blame me for not being merciful!"

Zhou Baoyu's arms were clamped behind his back. Because he had been doing heavy work these past few days, his arms were so weak that he couldn't use them at all.

He glared at them and shouted at them, "Originally we agreed that the day's wages would be fifty coppers. Huzi and I worked here for two days plus one morning, and each of us should have received 150 coppers! But each of you only gave us 75 coppers. , the rest must have been stolen by you! I will sue you to the government!"

Not to be outdone, Huzi scolded: "Yes, I will sue you to the government!"

The servant who spoke made a contemptuous laugh, "Our master can give you 75 copper coins, which is a very compassionate heart. I never thought that you are so greedy and want to make trouble with the government master. I really don't expect you to be so greedy." Who do you think you are? Since you can’t listen to flattery, then taste the stick!”

After he finished speaking, his eyes became fierce and he raised his hand to signal: "Here, hit me!"

"Let me go! You are bullying me too much! Help! Someone come!" Baoyu and Huzi struggled vigorously. Just when the hard wooden stick was about to hit them, Yang Xi walked over and scolded. "Does Mr. Feng know that you are acting in the name of Mr. Tang?" When several servants saw the visitor, they were so frightened that they immediately put away their sticks and stood aside languidly, "Team Leader Yang."

Baoyu turned around in panic. When she saw someone coming, she immediately broke free from the grasp of those people, pulled Huzi and hid behind Yang Xi, and begged: "Team Leader Yang, help, please help us!"

Yang Xi looked at the embarrassed two people, lowered his eyes, and asked calmly: "What happened to you?"

"Team Leader Yang, they are beating us!" As soon as Baoyu said this, the servant headed by him was worried that Baoyu and Huzi would say something detrimental to him, so he rushed to pour a basin of dirty water on him, "Team Leader Yang, it's nothing serious. , they are just two sneaky little brats who came to work here and wanted to make some money. You said, they don't work and they want money. How can there be such a good thing in the world? What's more? We also gave them wages, but they were just not satisfied. We had no choice but to use these extreme methods."

Baoyu looked at the servant's face and wanted to rush up and tear his mouth open, "You are just confusing right and wrong and talking nonsense! We agreed before that we would be paid fifty cents a day for the work, but you only gave us half the wages. You guys. Apparently because we were young and easy to bully, he stole the rest of his wages!"

Yang Xi glanced at the two young men with cold eyes. The clothes on their bodies were full of dirty mud and sawdust. Without asking in detail, he guessed that he knew the whole story.

He blocked Baoyu and said, "You don't have to worry. I have a close relationship with Mr. Feng of the Tang Dynasty. Just ask him how much he pays you. If there is a lie, then you should fight. If the truth is as you say. , I will personally go to Manager Feng to ask for justice for you, and you deserve not less than a penny."

With someone supporting her, Baoyu straightened her back and said cooperatively: "Okay! Leader Yang, I listen to you!"

When Feng Chuli was mentioned, several servants glanced at each other and lowered their heads guiltily, not daring to look at Yang Xi.

Yang Xi looked at them coldly, "Let me ask you one last time, how much wages are they still short of?"

The leader of the servant was afraid that the matter would be reported to others, so he smiled awkwardly, stood up coyly, held up a money bag with both hands, and begged with tears and snot in his nose:
"Team Leader Yang, I've realized my mistake. There are 150 copper coins in total here, and they all belong to them."

Yang Xi gave him a sharp look, took away the money bag, turned around and handed it to Baoyu, "Open it and see if the number is correct?"

"Okay!" Baoyu took the money bag, counted it twice with Huzi, and said with a happy smile: "Boss Yang, no more copper coins, no less coins, no less."

Seeing that the matter was over, several servants knelt down in fear and said, "Boss Yang, please spare us. We don't dare to do it anymore. Don't tell Manager Feng, otherwise our lives will be in danger." ”

Yang Xi looked at these treacherous and cunning servants. Although they were hateful, they were also pitiful, so he let them go and said, "Let's go!"

Baoyu almost received a beating from them just now and had to kick them hard in the buttocks to relieve his anger, but since Team Leader Yang had spoken, he naturally couldn't say anything more.

Baoyu looked at the unsmiling man in front of him. He was quite dissatisfied with him because of his neglect of his sister. But when it happened today, Team Leader Yang did not stand idly by.
