Chapter 1073 Young Master, He Was Fooled

The madam immediately responded, almost prostrating herself on the ground: "I'm leaving, I'm going far away, to the ends of the earth, and I'll never come back in my life."

"Since you have already shouldered the blame yourself, I should give you a chance."

The old bustard suddenly raised his head and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, master, for your life! Thank you, master, for your life!"

"Get up."

The madam didn't dare to get up and kept kneeling there with her head lowered.

Fu Hongda sighed, picked up the tea cup on the table, mixed some hot water into it, squatted down, and handed it to the madam for a long time: "Drink some water and calm down."

The madam tremblingly caught the cup and stared at the steaming rim without moving for a moment.

"Afraid I'll poison you? Didn't you drink this glass of water just now?"

The madam said she didn't dare, held the cup in her hand, and drank half of it.

Seeing that she was almost done drinking, Fu Hongda pulled her up with his own hands and said, "Go and pack your luggage while it's still dark. It's best to leave the city as soon as the city gate opens. Remember, never come back in your life."

"Yes, yes, I will never come back, I will never..." Before she could finish her promise, the Madam's eyes suddenly bulged, her hands clamped on her neck, her whole face quickly turned purple, and then she stared intently. Looking at Fu Hongda, his eyes were filled with unbelievable panic.

Under the strange gaze of the madam, Fu Hongda laughed softly and murmured: "Don't come back for the rest of your life..."

After a cup of tea, after confirming that the madam had completely died, Fu Hongda called out the door: "Come in."

A Ping opened the door and when he came in, he glanced at the madam who was no longer breathing, and then walked up to Fu Hongda and said, "Master."

"It's time to clean up. Starting tomorrow, you will be in charge of this Qianxifang."

Aping hid the joyful smile on his face, lowered his head, and responded solemnly: "Master, don't worry, I know what to do."

Fu Hongda got up and walked straight out the door. Halfway there, he stopped again, turned around and asked, "Call Bai Xin after dawn and ask him to go to Fu Mansion."

A Ping was stunned: "Master is planning to..."

"Don't Bai Xin want to come in? It doesn't matter if Fu Ziyan has another concubine. Just let her come to the door and go directly to the young lady."

The eldest young lady is naturally Fu Ziyan's legitimate wife. Fu Ziyan is in a coma and cannot make the decision, but the eldest young lady can speak up and support her aunt.

Listening to his master's words, Aping knew in his heart that this young lady must also follow his master's lead.

Fu Hongda returned to his house before dawn. As usual, he began to meet with the shop stewards at Chenshi. After finishing the matters in time, he went directly to Mr. Fu's yard.

Mr. Fu is still awake at this moment, but he was very angry yesterday because of the borrowing of troops. Today's first bowl of medicine is a last resort and must be given by Fu Hongda himself.

When the medicine was delivered, Fu Hongda was reading the account book in his hand. Hearing this, he moved the account book aside, took the medicine, and entered the back room.

When Mr. Fu was shaken awake, his eyelids were still a little heavy. He looked at the bowl of bitter medicine and asked, "What time is it?"

"Father, it's time."

Mr. Fu didn't say anything. He slowly drank the bowl of medicine, then lay back on the bed and said, "At noon, ask me to get up."

Fu Hongda asked: "Do you have anything important to do? The doctor said you'd better rest for the next two days."

"Go to the Buzheng Yamen."

Fu Hongda frowned: "Is it because of what happened yesterday? Father, it's better to call my eldest brother and go there in person. This bumpy road will definitely hurt your health."

Mr. Fu didn't agree, he just waved his hand and fell asleep again.

Fu Hongda didn't want to listen and stopped talking. He left the back room and went outside to continue looking at the accounts.

At three quarters, Fu Hongtian came over to greet the old man. As expected, he did not see the old man, but sat down next to Fu Hongda: "Fourth brother, there is something that I want to tell you."

Fu Hongda didn't even raise his head and asked casually: "What's the matter?"

"About the Guyun Zhai on Min'an Street."

Fu Mansion has three shops on the antique street of Min'an Street. Among them, the best-run one is Gu Yunzhai. This morning, Fu Hongda met with the shopkeeper of Gu Yunzhai and learned that he had sold a jade from the previous dynasty yesterday. The pen washer, said to have been used by the previous emperor, had a net profit of six hundred taels, making it the most profitable item sold this month.

"What happened to Gu Yunzhai?"

Fu Hongtian rubbed his hands, with a hint of greed on his face: "I heard that the antiques from the previous dynasty are selling very well these days. I have a hosta here that was used by the princess of the previous dynasty. Yesterday I When I went to Guyunzhai, the shopkeeper refused to accept it. He said that the authenticity of the item could not be seen and he did not dare to accept it. Fourth brother, you know me. Although I have no ability, I have many friends. This item is definitely authentic. Yes, I didn't think that if I sell it to Gu Yunzhai, fourth brother, you can give me some money, and you can make at least two hundred taels more by changing the hands, which will be cheaper for my family. Fourth brother, I brought this hosta, you Do you want to take a look?"

When Fu Hongda heard this, he closed the account book in his hand, raised his eyes and glared at Fu Hongtian: "Lack of money again?"

Fu Hongtian smiled dryly and said, "It's not me, it's the one from my family. Her natal brother is seriously ill and needs to go back for relief. I just thought of it. I promise her a few thousand taels and she can take it back. It will save her face." I thought her life would be unsatisfactory if she married me."

"Are you willing to spend thousands of taels on your younger siblings?" Fu Hongda stopped pointing out and sighed: "Let me take a look at the hosta."

Fu Hongtian hurriedly took out the hosta.

Fu Hongda turned the jade hairpin and looked at it for a while. The jade was a serious purple jade. It seemed that the workmanship was old, but it was not used by the previous princess, so he was not sure.

Fu Hongda understood the shopkeeper's concerns. The store would definitely not dare to accept this kind of thing casually, especially where Fu Hongtian found it and its origin was unclear.

"How much do you plan to sell it for?" Fu Hongda asked.

Fu Hongtian stretched out his fingers and made an eight, then changed it to seven: "Seven hundred taels."

Fu Hongda returned the hairpin to him: "Two hundred taels."

Fu Hongtian called out: "Fourth brother, my dear brother, you can't let your brother lose his money. We are all a family. If you put it in the store, this hairpin can be sold for at least a thousand taels. You have the right to Please give me a favor, okay? My brother will definitely remember this kindness for the rest of his life."

Fu Hongda and Fu Hongtian don't have the same mother, but because they are both concubines, they have been supported since childhood. Seeing Fu Hongtian's unyielding attitude, Fu Hongda also knows that for this busy job, he can still It really helped. In the end, Fu Hongda could only say: "The thing is only worth two hundred taels, but I can lend you five hundred taels."

"Don't you have to pay this loan back?" Fu Hongtian was unhappy.

Fu Hongda said coldly: "Then you go, whether it's worth it or not, Gu Yunzhai won't even buy it."

"This..." Fu Hongtian gritted his teeth and agreed: "Sure, it's only two hundred taels. If I borrow another five hundred taels from my brother shamelessly, I guarantee that I'll pay it back."

After sending Fu Hongtian away, Fu Hongda held the hairpin, glanced at it twice, and then said to the servant outside the door: "Bring me a brocade box."

The servant quickly brought the box.

Fu Hongda put the hairpin away and said, "Send it to the fourth lady."

After the hairpin incident was over, Fu Hongda looked at the time and went to ask Mr. Fu to get up.

On the other side, Fu Hongtian took the banknote and walked out of Fu Mansion, turned around several doors, and finally arrived at a yard next to Caishikou.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, two burly men came out and held him down fiercely.

Fu Hongtian quickly picked up the banknote and waved it, shouting loudly: "I brought the money, I brought the money, please spare your life! Spare your life!"

The big man snatched away the banknote, clicked it, and said with a smile: "Master Wu really did what he said, the silver brothers took it, you have to be early next time."

Fu Hongtian gritted his teeth and asked, "You guys, didn't you say you would give me the things after giving me the money? Where are the things?"

"Things?" The big man took out several love letters from his arms and said with a smile: "When the fifth master hooked up with his sister-in-law, he never thought that one day he would be discovered? He never thought that in order to keep his mouth shut, he would spend so much money. A day to ward off disaster?”

"I gave you two thousand taels yesterday, and I gave you another seven hundred taels today. What else do you want?"

"I don't want to do anything now. If my brothers are short of money in the future, they will look for Master Wu again."

This is a long-term blackmail plan.

Fu Hongtian was suddenly shrouded in black clouds and was trembling with anger.

However, he couldn't fight with force, and he didn't dare to publicize the matter, so he asked Ye Luzi's friends to come forward and get the letter back for him. In the end, when he left, he only dared to spit at the door.

When Fu Hongtian walked away, the two big men confirmed that there were no ears between the walls. Then they walked into the back room and said respectfully to the man in the room: "Master, he has been fooled."

Rong Leng slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up, and said, "Tomorrow, it will be the same."
