Li Si, who was standing outside the door, was already in tears.
He never imagined that the beautiful, virtuous and loyal wife in his heart was actually leaning towards Chen Yuteng at this moment.
This blow to him was far greater than the harm caused by Chen Yuteng.
"Hello!"
Zhang Fei patted Li Si's arm gently.
Li Si slowly turned his head and stared at Zhang Fei blankly.
Zhang Fei advised: "It may not be a bad thing to leave someone who is deliberately plotting against you."
It would have been better if he didn't say it. After he said it, Li Si suddenly woke up. All kinds of pain surged into his heart. He squatted down, covered his head with his hands, and cried silently.
Zhang Fei wanted to comfort him, but he felt that no matter what he said, it would be easy to talk without any pain. So he shook his head, sighed, turned around and walked outside.
Xu Zhiqian, who was standing nearby, first glanced at Li Si with concern, then chased after him. After walking through the corridor, she whispered, "Zhang San, I think back. Zeng Shi played an indispensable role in Li Si's current situation. She may have had an affair with Chen Yuteng a long time ago. All of this was planned by the two of them, with the purpose of forcing Li Si to sell her to the Chen family."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Your analysis is correct. This is indeed possible."
Xu Zhiqian said excitedly: "Then this case should not be concluded like this. They are really too much. They have already achieved their goal, but they still want to force Li Si to death."
Although she is a woman, she has a character that hates evil.
Zhang Fei asked, "Accusing them of adultery?"
"They should be charged with adultery and murder for money, because in the end they not only seized Li Si's ancestral land, but also almost forced him to death." Xu Zhiqian said.
Zhang Fei was silent for a while, and said: "First of all, this is just our speculation, there is no evidence, and the investigation is the responsibility of the government, it has nothing to do with us, especially me, I am a spy, my mission is to win this lawsuit, not to enforce justice.
Secondly, now that time has passed, it is difficult to find evidence of their adultery. Even if Zeng now defends Chen Yuteng everywhere, it does not mean anything, because she is now Chen Yuteng's wife. Is it wrong to defend her husband? Even the law has laws against concealing relatives. "
At this point, he raised a finger and said, "The most important thing is that we were able to win this lawsuit because we are just tiles and the other party is porcelain. They are unwilling to fight us to death over such a small matter. But if we sue them for murder and robbery, this lawsuit may not be about the law, but about power, which is not my strong point."
These words, like a splash of cold water, completely extinguished the enthusiasm in Xu Zhiqian's heart, and she gradually came to her senses. This was indeed difficult, but she still looked at Zhang Fei with contempt: "There is another point, that is, you are afraid of losing the settlement money that has already been obtained."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "This is certainly one of the reasons."
Xu Zhiqian added: "But you asked for a full 500 strings of cash, but only gave Li Si 100 strings of cash. You only took 400 strings of cash. This is not fair. He is the victim."
Zhang Fei immediately took out his purse and handed it to Xu Zhiqian.
Xu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Fei said: "Take it first."
Xu Zhiqian hesitated for a moment, took it, and looked at Zhang Fei in confusion again.
Zhang Fei said seriously: "There are twenty coins in here, which is your bonus. I believe it is very commensurate with your contribution in this case."
Why did this sound a bit strange? Was this a reward? Xu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment before she realized that this was an attempt to humiliate her, implying that she had no ability but loved to meddle in other people's business. She angrily said, "How dare you..."
He raised his hand and was about to throw the purse in his hand over when he suddenly heard a creaking sound.
The two of them turned their heads and saw a man in his thirties with an imposing appearance walking out of a room next door. He turned his head to look at Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian, and Xu Zhiqian subconsciously put down his hand.
However, the man seemed to have been looking at Zhang Fei the whole time. After a while, he walked over, pointed at Zhang Fei, and asked with a frown, "You are the ear pen man called Zhang San, right?"
Zhang Fei clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Yes. Mr. Chen."
This man is Chen Yuteng.
This was really like an enemy meeting, with eyes full of jealousy. Chen Yuteng's handsome face gradually became distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are such an ignorant kid, you dare to pluck hair from a tiger's head. Remember this, this matter is not over."
In fact, five hundred strings of cash was nothing to him, and it didn't hurt him much, but he couldn't tolerate this humiliation. It was simply a great shame and humiliation. How could he survive in the landlord world in the future
Now that he has been acquitted and has nothing to worry about, he will of course look for Zhang Fei to settle accounts. After all, Zhang Fei is just an informant and a low-class person.
Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: "Mr. Chen misunderstood. It was Li Si who invited me. I was just...!"
"You are just courting your own death." Chen Yuteng interrupted Zhang Fei rudely, "If you kneel down now and beg me to forgive you, maybe I will spare your life."
Xu Zhiqian was furious when she heard this. Before Zhang Fei could open his mouth, she scolded him, "I have never seen anyone as shameless as you. You are greedy and used despicable means to seize other people's wives and fields. Now the government does not hold you accountable, but you not only do not repent, but also try to make things worse. Do you think you can really be above the law?"
Zhang Fei and Chen Yuteng looked at Xu Zhiqian at the same time.
Both of them were very surprised.
Chen Yuteng didn't know Xu Zhiqian, but he could see that she had an extraordinary temperament and was so strong, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried and asked, "Who are you?"
Damn it, I don't have the habit of letting women stand up for me. Zhang Fei came to his senses and snatched the purse from Xu Zhiqian's hand without waiting for her to speak. He slammed it at his feet and said to Chen Yuteng, "Pick it up for me."
Chen Yuteng felt like he was hallucinating and looked at Zhang Fei in shock, as if asking, do you know who you are talking to
Xu Zhiqian also looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.
One of them is more cruel than the other!
Zhang Fei pointed directly at Chen Yuteng's nose and said, "Do you think you can get out today because of your uncle Si Nong? You are thinking about Taozi. Let me tell you, it was this sum of money that saved you. If it weren't for this sum of money, I would have sued you and put you in jail for life."
Then he pointed at the purse at his feet and said, "If you don't pick up this money today, put it in my hand, and say sorry to me, then don't leave Kaifeng today, because you will definitely come here again tomorrow. You should know very well how many bad things you have done. Even if I can't let you die, I can make you sleep with lawsuits for the rest of your life."
This barrage of guns and cannons frightened Xu Zhiqian so much that she looked shocked. It was the first time she saw Zhang Fei lose his temper. He was truly worthy of being called a spy with amazing fighting power. She couldn't help but glance at Chen Yuteng again.
Chen Yuteng's face turned purple with anger, his face skin was completely twisted, his eyes were wide open, his eyeballs were about to pop out, and his lips were trembling with anger, "You... what did you say? You..."
Zhang Fei frowned and said, "I am serious. If you don't pick up the money bag today, it will be a life-and-death battle tomorrow. No, maybe we don't even have to wait until tomorrow. I will ask Li Si to sue you and Zeng for adultery and murder. Since everyone is enjoying it, then of course we can continue to play this game."
A hint of guilt suddenly flashed across Chen Yuteng's eyes, but he still bulged his eyes and stared at Zhang Fei, as if he wanted to eat Zhang Fei alive.
The two of them just stared at each other.
Finally, Chen Yuteng blinked first, bent down to pick up the purse, handed it to Zhang Fei, and said, "Sorry!"
This is really terrifying.
Chen Yuteng doesn't want to come in again.
Seeing this scene, Xu Zhiqian felt so happy. She glanced at Zhang Fei again and thought, it's true that evil will be punished by evil.
Zhang Fei took it and said with a smile, "A man of integrity is one who can bend and stretch. But I also hope that Mr. Chen can learn from his mistakes and next time he encounters a lawsuit, he must invite me before his opponent."
Chen Yuteng bowed and said, "Thank you for your advice, Excellency. Goodbye!"
After saying this, he turned and walked out of the yard.
Zhang Fei suddenly shouted, "Master."
Chen Yuteng turned his head slightly, "What else do you want, sir?"
Zhang Fei pointed back and said, "You forgot your wife."
A flash of anger flashed in Chen Yuteng's eyes, and he strode away.
Seeing Chen Yuteng so angry, Xu Zhiqian frowned and said, "It seems that Zeng is the culprit."
"Her life will not be easy in the future!" Zhang Fei sighed, suddenly turned around, and took Xu Zhiqian's soft, boneless, smooth and delicate little hand.
Xu Zhiqian was horrified and asked, "What are you doing?"
It means to retract your hand.
Zhang Fei held it tightly, then put the purse steadily into her hand, and said earnestly: "Now you should know why I want to take 400 strings of cash, right? I am risking my life in this lawsuit!"
After saying that, he let go of Xu Zhiqian's hand and walked away.
When he disappeared around the corner, Xu Zhiqian finally came to her senses and raised her hand, ready to throw the purse away, "You scoundrel..."
But halfway through her words, she suddenly paused and looked at the purse in her hand, as if she was thinking about something.
Suddenly, she quickly chased after him, "Zhang San, wait a minute."
He chased him all the way to the gate of the mansion.
Facing the unyielding Xu Zhiqian, Zhang Fei was really drunk. "Mrs. Xu, can you please have some sense of contract? We have already signed the contract, and it is consensual. You are also a witness. Why are you talking like a fart?"
"Pooh!"
Xu Zhiqian almost vomited blood, and said angrily: "You are the one who let go... You are so vulgar."
Zhang Fei said: "You know that I am such a vulgar person, but you still chase me and ask, tell me, are you... ..!"
The word "shameful" was not said out loud, so at least he had to give Xu Zun some face.
Xu Zhiqian said, "I came after you because there was something wrong with my remuneration. I was the one who found Li Si for you, and I was the one who ran around for you, but you only gave me 20 cents. Was it you who was being too much, or was it me?"
"So that's what you're doing. Haha!" Zhang Fei said with a wry smile, "That's a bonus, not a reward. I'll calculate the reward separately. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Xu Zhiqian asked: "Then how much are you going to give me?"
Zhang Fei said: "One hundred strings of cash, no more."
"One... one hundred strings of cash?" Xu Zhiqian was shocked. She didn't seem to expect Zhang Fei to give her so much. Instead, she felt a little embarrassed.
Little did he know that this sum of money was calculated by Zhang Fei long ago, mainly to repay Xu Zun for taking him in. Although he owed Xu Zun too much and it would be difficult to pay it back, he had to pay it back eventually.
Of course, he also hopes to continue his cooperation with Xu Zhiqian. After all, he doesn't know many people here at present.
"I don't want this money, just give it directly to Li Si." Xu Zhiqian shook her head slightly.
Zhang Fei pinched his forehead: "I advise you not to do this."
Xu Zhiqian asked curiously: "Why?"
"Because Li Si can't control it."
Zhang Fei said: "In fact, one hundred strings of cash is already a huge sum of money for Li Si. He can't handle this amount of money at all. If you give him another hundred strings of cash, it will only bring him more trouble."
Xu Zhiqian pondered for a moment and said, "So you only gave Li Si 100 strings of cash because you were worried about this."
Zhang Fei said: "Of course not, the rest are mine, it is clearly written in the contract."
Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei with contempt and said, "My 100 guan will be counted as Li Si's, but I'll keep it with you for now."
Zhang Fei was afraid that this woman would get entangled, so he hurriedly said, "Why are you leaving it with me? Wouldn't it be better if you could just take it yourself?"
Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes at him and said, "How can I accept this money? It will damage my father's reputation."
Zhang Fei also knew Xu Zhiqian's personality and was very protective of Xu Zun's reputation. Indeed, Xu Zun's reputation had taken decades to build and should be well protected. He nodded and said, "Okay!"
... ..．
Chen Yuteng returned to the palace and immediately cried to his uncle, telling Wang Wenshan everything that had just happened, exaggerating the story.
Although he was scared at that time, it doesn't mean he could swallow this anger. He has always been the one bullying others, but he has never been bullied like this.
"You are such a loser. He asked you to pick it up and you picked it up. You have brought shame to our family. I... ..." Wang Wenshan was so angry that he raised his hands.
Chen Yuteng quickly hugged his uncle's thigh and cried, "It was Zhang San who threatened me, saying that if I didn't pick it up, he would sue me for adultery with Zeng for money and murder. I was afraid of implicating my uncle, so I... picked it up."
Wang Wenshan couldn't help but think of the last time he was threatened by Zhang Fei. He was also scared at that time. He wanted to slap his nephew's hand, but he finally pounded it hard on the table, his teeth almost broken: "Zhang San, Zhang San, you are really going too far, let's wait and see."
This is something the nephew can tolerate but the uncle cannot!
... ... .
Chen Yuteng's release proves that the money has been received.
In this kind of situation, you definitely have to pay money on one hand and give the person on the other.
However, Li Si was crying so hard that the division of the spoils had to wait until the next day.
"Are you feeling better?"
Zhang Fei looked at Li Si, whose eyes were red and swollen and bloodshot, and asked a nonsense question.
Li Si nodded and said, "I figured it out last night."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Fei asked with interest: "So soon, tell us your experience so that we can learn from it."
Xu Zhiqian on the side whispered: "What nonsense are you talking about."
This guy always likes to rub salt into other people's wounds.
"it's okay no problem!"
Li Si hurriedly said, "Brother Zhang San, Madam Xu, you are both good people. If you hadn't helped me, I... I would have starved to death on the roadside."
At this point, he paused, lowered his head and whispered, "In fact, I have always regretted that I should not have given her to Mr. Chen for the sake of Zutian, so now... now I feel much better."
Although Zhang Fei had hinted at it, Li Si only accepted the fact that Zeng was now on Chen Yuteng's side, and was unwilling to accept that they might have had an affair beforehand. However, this was no wonder, after all, it was Zeng who served him wholeheartedly when he was seriously ill. Therefore, he thought that if he had not sold his wife for the ancestral land, things would not have turned out like this.
As Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian had no evidence, they couldn't say much. They could only advise him to be more careful in the future.
"very good!"
Zhang Fei nodded approvingly and said, "Some things, once sold, no longer belong to you. As a person, you should focus on money and try to find a better one."
As he said this, he pointed to a large wooden box beside him and said, "That is the hundred strings of cash that belongs to you. With this money, you will no longer be worried about not being able to find a wife."
Xu Zhiqian just shook her head as she listened to this. She disagreed with many of Zhang Fei's opinions.
Li Si glanced at the big wooden box and then looked at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei's face suddenly darkened and he asked, "Are you dissatisfied?"
Li Si first shook his head, then nodded, and then shook his head again.
Zhang Fei was completely confused. "What do you mean?"
Li Si said: "I want to stay with Brother Zhang San."
"ah?"
Zhang Fei opened his eyes and quickly explained: "Well, you have to understand that this wife refers to women, not men."
Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes when she heard this. What on earth was in this guy's head
Li Si nodded and said, "I know that."
Zhang Fei wondered, "Then why are you following me?"
Li Si said, "I don't dare to go back to Xiangfu County now. I'm afraid that Mr. Chen will take revenge on me. So I want to stay with Brother Zhang San. I can help him run errands and do some odd jobs. Brother Zhang San, do you think it's okay?"
After saying this, he looked at Zhang Fei anxiously.
Zhang Fei thought about it and said with a chuckle, "To be honest, I really need someone to run errands for me."
Li Si said excitedly: "Brother Zhang San, do you agree to this?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said with a smile: "Zhang San and Li Si, our group is destined to go down in history!"
