Chapter 238： Inspired by "talent"

Chapter 238: Motivated by "cai"

This time Wang Yuanwai did not help him up. He just nodded and entered the main room.

Uncle Zhong was in a daze, as if he felt something was different, but before he could figure it out, Wang Fu had already stepped forward to help him, and whispered to persuade him: "Uncle Zhong, stop crying now. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly. Come into the house first." The neighbors are full of people, so it’s not good to be so noisy.”

“Hey, yes, yes.”

Uncle Zhong quickly got up, lowered his head, and followed into the house with his neck scrunched up.

Sister-in-law Fu served warm tea. Wang Yuanwai took a sip and said nothing for a long time.

Uncle Zhong rubbed his knees with his hands, feeling uneasy.

Thinking of his wife, children, and children at home, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell to his knees again.

"Uncle, old slave, this old slave's family really can't bear it anymore. Wuwu...those casino thugs came again yesterday. They moved away everything that could be sold at home, and all the iron pots were smashed. Wuwu... We really can’t survive, please help me.”

Wang Yuanwai then put down his tea bowl and asked, "Tell me, what happened back then?"

Uncle Zhong stiffened for a moment, lowered his head, and continued to cry.

"Uncle, those thugs said that they will come to my house tomorrow to beg for money. If there is no money for them, they will take my grandson away and sell him as a slave. Wow, that child is the lifeblood of the old slave. He is not as good as the old slave. I'd rather die…"

Wang Fu and his wife saw that Uncle Zhong was forcing his master to solve the problem for him first. They both turned cold-faced and retreated to the door, guarding both sides.

Wang Yuanwai was not in a hurry. He picked up the tea bowl again and drank slowly without asking any more questions.

Uncle Zhong cried for a long time. When his master didn't respond, he became a little embarrassed and said, "Uncle, my family is really worried. You see..."

“The Wang family is a family of merchants, and Uncle Zhong has been with the old master for so many years. Could it be that he has forgotten the rules of paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand?”

Wang Yuanwai sneered, "Uncle Zhong asked me to solve your trouble, but I have no sincerity at all."

Uncle Zhong’s face turned red and he responded with a whisper, “My uncle has always been kind...”

Wang Yuanwai slammed the tea bowl in his hand, and the tea splashed into Uncle Zhong's face.

“Good-hearted? You just deceived me into being kind-hearted, which is why I was separated from my parents and relatives for many years, and you made me work as a cow and horse to carry on the family lineage and expand business!

“Should a person with a kind heart deserve to be insulted like this by you?!”

Uncle Zhong was so hit that he didn’t dare to wipe the tea off his face, and he was so panicked.

Does my uncle know the truth?

Wang Yuanwai didn't give Uncle Zhong any time to breathe, and said: "My original name is Li Zhensheng. I was a scholar outside the Great Wall who traveled south to study. You have made me suffer like this. How do you think I can be so kind?!"

Uncle Zhong finally changed his expression, his body was trembling uncontrollably, and he defended: "Uncle...Uncle, how do you know? It was all the old man's idea, not me, not me!"

Wang Fu and his wife at the door suddenly raised their heads and looked at each other, both shocked.     Is this an admission? Admit that the old lady harmed my uncle?

Wang Yuanwai closed his eyes hard. The pain in his head felt like it was going to explode. He tried his best to endure the dizziness and cursed: "You bitch, you haven't made it clear yet! If you dare to miss a word, I will send you to see the official, let alone save me." If one of your family members is convicted of murder and robbery, you will die in prison!"

“Uncle, uncle, please spare my life!” Uncle Zhong was frightened, so he crawled forward on his knees and hugged Wang Yuanwai’s ankles.

"Uncle, this is all the old man's idea! At that time, the old man went to Saibei to do business. On the way back, you found a convoy to accompany you. The old man saw you as a talented person on the road and got along well with him, so he wanted you to join the Wang family as his son-in-law. But knowing that you have a great reputation, I have never dared to speak. "

Uncle Zhong wiped his tears and shivered even more when he remembered that time.

"Later, when you walked all the way outside the city, to the Broken Gold Beach, you wanted to separate from the old man and continue your study tour. The old man couldn't bear to part with it, so he invited you to drink. While he was drunk, he asked you to be his son-in-law. You didn't agree. He said that the master had evil intentions and that the encounter was in vain.

"The old man was very angry. When he saw you leaving, he asked me to find someone to pretend to be a robber, break your legs, and then take you back to the Wang family to recuperate. If you have more contact with the lady, you might stay in the end. Unexpectedly, pretending The robbers were incompetent. When they fought with you, they pushed you down the hill. When we found you, the back of your head hit a rock and there was blood..."

Uncle Zhong cried so much that his nose was covered with tears. "Uncle, I really didn't mean to harm you. I only found two second-rate thugs from the neighborhood, not the real robbers. I didn't expect this to happen. Wow, after all these years I have nightmares every time I think about it!”

Wang Yuanwai raised his hand and grabbed his collar, lifted him up from the ground, and asked sternly with red eyes, "Where did the robber go after that? How did I get into the Wang's house?"

Uncle Zhong was strangled so hard that he couldn't breathe and struggled desperately.

Wang Fu thought it was bad, so he stepped forward and opened his master's hand, "Master, let Uncle Zhong speak slowly. After waiting for so many years, it won't be short of this moment!"

After that, he saved Uncle Zhong, but he gritted his teeth with hatred and cursed, "You don't want your life, tell me now! I have already found my family, you can't hide it at all!"

Uncle Zhong coughed desperately, and without daring to delay, he immediately shouted: "The old man gave those two second-rate men a lot of money and asked them to hide it. Then he went to the doctor behind his back and said that he fell down the mountain accidentally. He was unconscious. After four or five days, I finally woke up, but I couldn’t remember what happened before. The old man was so happy that he asked the young lady to take care of my uncle... I will know everything that happened after that!"

“Where are those two scoundrels pretending to be bandits?” Wang Yuanwai hit the nail on the head and asked the key point.

Uncle Zhong burst into tears, "Those two people thought they had something, and in turn threatened the old man. They always came to the house to ask for money, and the old man...just dealt with them. At that time, there was an inn in the east of the city where Jianghu people gathered. The old man used Five hundred taels of silver bought the lives of those two people."

“Can you find the home of those two second-rate guys now?”

“Yes, yes, it’s in Dahuaishu Village! The two most run-down families in the east of the village, I heard there are still people at home.”

“Back then, the old man and I came all the way from the north to this area. Many people in the convoy should know us. Can we find anyone now?”

“No, uncle, the convoy was from outside the Great Wall. It unloaded the goods here and then went back. And it’s been more than ten years, I’m afraid I’ve long forgotten about it.”

Uncle Zhong was so frightened that he didn’t hide a word and said whatever he asked.

Wang Yuanwai trembled with his hands, drank half a cup of cold tea, and asked again: "What else do you know about my identity? Miss, miss...do you know these things?"

Uncle Zhong lowered his head, tried to remember, and said: "My surname is Li, and my name is Zhensheng. It is said that your mother encountered a small earthquake when she gave birth to you, so she gave you this name. My aunt has many brothers in the family. They all had names like Yusheng and Dongsheng. At that time, my uncle and the old man were chatting about these things. The old man also smiled and said that he envied my uncle's family for having many brothers, so he started to think about recruiting. "

He paused and then said: "Later, not long after my uncle entered the house, the old man became seriously ill. This uncle should know. The old man said that he had suffered retribution, but for the sake of the incense of the Wang family, in order to keep the family business, and in order to provide The lady is looking for someone to trust her with for the rest of her life. He will not regret it, and he will only pass away after explaining everything to the lady."
