Chapter 19: Yellow skin

The Master's house is very small, to be precise, just a few dilapidated cottages, not even a yard.

As soon as he approached the house, he heard Mr. Lin scolding and coughing, "Why are you crying? That bastard, it's better to let him die in prison. He is idle every day, eat, drink, whore and gambling, and everything is complete. Now he even learns to steal. Just steal! He doesn't have eyes yet, but he is not good at stealing anyone, and he even steals Huang Paixi. You said, why did I give birth to such a thing?"

An old woman cried and said, "His father, after all, is our child. No matter how angry you are, you can't ignore it! I went to see him yesterday and was beaten to death. No matter how late he is, I'm afraid he will die in prison!"

"Yes! Dad, I beg you. Save Lai Fu! My daughter-in-law kowtowed to you. Xiaotian, you kowtow to your grandfather and let him save your father." It was the voice of a young woman, mixed with the crying of a little boy.

"You... don't scare the child,..." Master Lin coughed again in a hurry.

Zhou Xian listened to a few words outside and understood. It should be Mr. Lin's son, who was caught by the government for stealing something. Such things can be big or small, and usually pay a little money and the person is released. However, this time, he should have been offended by someone he shouldn't have been offended, so the other party deliberately made things difficult for him.

Zhou Xian hesitated for a moment, wondering if he still wanted to go in at this time? Lin Fengjun, who was biting the candied haws next to him, suddenly raised his head and asked, "Big brother, why don't you go in?"

Master Lin heard the noise outside and asked, "Who is outside?"

Seeing that there was no way to hide, Zhou Xian said loudly, "Teacher, it's me, Zhou Xian." As he said that, he gently pushed open the door and walked in.

The room was a little dim, and you could vaguely see Master Lin lying on the boat, and an old woman with wrinkles on her face was helping him sit up next to her. Zhou Xian hurriedly walked up to help him up.

Zhou Kun handed the gift in his hand to the young woman standing not far away and said, "Sister-in-law, don't dislike some gifts."

The young woman said a blessing and said to Master Lin: "Dad, I'll cook some hot tea for the guests." Then she picked up the little boy about three years old in front of her and walked out.

When Master Lin saw Zhou Xian and Zhou Tai, a little smile appeared on his sad face. After asking about their homework in detail over the past few days, he nodded with satisfaction when he learned that the four of them were not abandoned. He sighed and said, "I was in a hurry to get sick and didn't have time to say to the eldest son. After you go back, explain the situation to him on my behalf and ask him to find a gentleman to take the class for me. When I get sick, I will go back immediately."

Zhou Xian comforted him and said, "Teacher, don't worry about this. Brother, he knows how to do it? You should take good care of your illness and wait until you are well, and come back to teach us."

The three of them talked for a while. Lin Fengjun felt bored and went outside to play with the little boy. After a while, Zhou Kun couldn't help asking: "Teacher, before we entered the house, I heard my sister-in-law's crying. Is something wrong at home?"

Before Master Lin could speak, the old woman next to him started sobbing in a low voice.

Zhou Xian said: "Auntie, don't be sad. My elder brother knows some people in this city. Do you tell me what happened? Maybe, can I help me?"

"Really?" Looking at the two teenagers in front of me, the old woman looked in disbelief.

Master Lin waved his hand and said, "It's family embarrassment, isn't it because of that evil son?"

Master Lin sighed and reluctantly told the two of them about the incident.

It was not much different from what Zhou Xian initially speculated. Three days ago, Lin Master Lin Laifu, the son of Master Lin, came out of the gambling house completely. Seeing a noble man covered in silk, he was obsessed with the other party's idea. But unexpectedly, stealing chickens would not make a fortune. When stealing the man's wallet, he was caught ready-made.

The other party threw him into prison and said that he would not leave without a hundred taels of silver. After asking from many sources, Master Lin found out that the noble man was the local county magistrate Huang Yong. The man was extremely greedy and cruel. The people privately called him Huang Baoshao. He alluded to him that he would exploit the people and make people lose their skin every time. Compared with the county magistrate Pan Hong, who was just greedy for money, it was even better.

After listening, Zhou Kun said angrily: "Isn't he naked blackmail?"

Master Lin sighed and said, "Who said no? But he took Lai Fu himself, but he couldn't ignore him. I plan to sell more than dozens of acres of fertile land left in my countryside, and at least save him first."

Zhou Kun said anxiously: "How can this work? This year's drought is severe and the fields are low. Isn't selling it at this time equals giving it to others for free?"

Zhou Xian saw Master Lin’s anxious look and said, “Teacher, you can rest assured to recuperate. I’ll go back and discuss this with my elder brother! He should have contact with that Huang Yong, so it shouldn’t be difficult to release the person first?”

Mr. Lin hesitated a little in his words: "You said to the eldest son, I'm sorry for him!"

"My master doesn't have to say much, I believe my elder brother will definitely help."

After a while, Zhou Xian and Zhou Kun bid farewell to the Master. The young woman heard that they could save her husband and was grateful, saying all kinds of grateful words were sent far away before she returned.

Zhou Kun saw Zhou Xian remain silent all the way, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "Second Young Master, you are really planning to save that stupid guy through the eldest Young Master!"

Zhou Xian looked up at Zhou Kun and said, "He is the Master's son, just for the sake of Master's sake! Why, do you think there is any problem?"

Zhou Kun touched the back of his head and said, "There is no problem. But I have heard from others about the Master's son, eating, drinking, gamble, and everything. Once I heard that he was crazy about gambling and pressed his wife up. You said such a person, how could we ask the eldest son to save him!"

Zhou Xian said: "I don't have any good feelings for people who have become gambled like this. But parents are so naturally. No matter how bad their children are, they will never be able to give up. I am sure that Master's illness is angered by him. This time, I saved him once for the sake of Master. If there is another time, he will ask for more blessings by himself!"

Zhou Kun nodded and asked, "Second Young Master, you didn't talk much all the way. Are you thinking about how to talk to the eldest young master?"

Zhou Xian shook his head and said, "No, I'm just interested in the man Huang Pai Pi. What kind of infamous reputation can make the people give him such a nickname? It was nothing before, but now he is still like this, and it is very likely that he will harm the Zhou family. I wonder if he can remove such a cancer."

Zhou Kun said with a puzzled face: "Hazard the Zhou family?"

Zhou Xian nodded and said, "If there is any change in the city, it will definitely affect the Zhou family. This is a relationship of prosperity and prosperity. As for officials like Pan Hong and Huang Paipi, everyone will be eliminated quickly. It is inevitable that someone will have a bad idea to contact the thief outside. This is the most worrying thing."
