Chapter 119: Good brother, no loyalty. The house where Lei Biao lives is adjacent to the river embankment. It occupies a prosperous area and is far away from the Taoist temple across the street. It is said that this house was the property of a merchant a few years ago.
Later, this merchant offended someone and was exterminated. Dozens of his family members were all stained with blood. Shuntian Mansion was ordered to investigate but could not find any clues, but no one dared to buy the house. After all, he was dead.
With so many people around, who would dare to touch it?
Lei Biao only spent two hundred taels of silver to buy the house. The house occupies a large area, and the gardens were built by Nanjing craftsmen, which took a lot of ingenuity. Therefore, after Lei Biao moved in, he did not change the layout of the house.

Under the sycamore tree in front of the courtyard, Lei Biao was lying leisurely on a rocking chair. Standing next to him was a steward. This steward was about forty years old. He had a hole in his chest and spoke in Nanjing Mandarin.
Lei Biao smiled and said: "Master, I just asked someone to ask. There has been a commotion at the dock and warehouse. Master, you have a clever plan and surrounded a general banner and a dozen captains. Not only our own
Brothers, many of them came to watch, and the noise was very loud, tens of thousands of people. There was not much movement at Baihusuo, but I was afraid that there would be some action from the Jingwei Commander's Office."
"No..." Lei Biao said calmly: "Jingwei does not dare to take responsibility for this. He will definitely kick this matter to Shuntian Mansion. Mr. Lei of Shuntian Mansion is not afraid. Furthermore, Shuntian Mansion does not dare to act rashly.
Suppression, to put it bluntly, if you want to suppress it, you have to kill people. In this capital, which yamen would dare to commit suicide like this? No one would dare to issue such an order. Their only solution is to appease. And this time we are targeting the Jinyi Guardhouse.
I don’t know how many officials are waiting to see Jin Yiwei’s joke. I heard that this man named Liu has been very aggressive recently and has offended many people. We don’t need to be afraid.”
"But..." The steward looked worried and said: "Even if this matter is calmed down, according to the rules, the imperial court will definitely settle the accounts and punish the instigators. After all, people gathered to cause trouble.
, especially at the feet of the emperor, I... I am not afraid..."
The court is not afraid of big thieves, it is just afraid of people joining forces to cause trouble. After all, such instigators are not fun, so there have always been people who gathered together to cause trouble and rebel. Although they tried their best to appease them at first, once the appeasement was over, they often found the perpetrators and ransacked their homes.
Beheaded.
There is absolutely no reason for this kind of thing. Even if a Jinyiwei really tries to harm a good woman, the court will never be lenient.
This manager is quite knowledgeable and has actually thought about this.
Lei Biao smiled slightly and said: "The person who gathered people to cause trouble was not me, but Zhu Hai. He was the one who contacted me, right? He even found that fu woman, right? I have a far-fetched relationship with Mr. Lei.
"The scarlet wound on Lei Biao's face became involved, and he sneered. His eyes stared at the steward like a wild wolf: "Do you understand now?"
The steward was stunned for a moment. That Zhu Hai was Lei Biao's brother. It was said that in his early years, Zhu Hai had blocked a knife for Lei Biao. If it hadn't been for him, Lei Biao would have died on the street. After that, the two of them began to
Brothers are like brothers, like paint and glue. But I didn't expect...
Lei Biao smiled disdainfully and said: "Why? Unexpectedly? Hey... Mr. Lei has been wandering in the capital for twenty years. He can live to this day and earn such a huge family fortune. Do you really think that he is relying on good things?"
Brave and ruthless?" He contentedly put a date on the table beside the rocking chair into his mouth, and said vaguely: "People who are brave and ruthless are ordinary people. To do big things, you need to use your brain. Just like Tian Daoyao.
That Tian Xuanzi, this old fox is so smart, just waiting to let me, Lord Lei, be a pawn, bah..." Lei Biao spit out the date core, and he didn't know whether it was unintentional or intentional, with a look of contempt, and said: "He will find a scapegoat.
, can’t I? It’s just that this time I’m going to suffer Brother Zhu, hehe... But he always said that he would help Lei Mou, so I can’t say, I can only invite him to appear this time.”
The steward smiled flatteringly and said, "Master Lei is smart."
Just as he was talking, a concierge came outside with a name card and bowed: "Master Lei, there is a man outside who claims to be the clerk of Baihu Office in Yanhua Hutong. He said that he would like to invite me to go to Baihu Office. He
Every household has something to discuss with the master."
Lei Biao lowered his legs from the rocking chair, stopped the swing of the rocking chair, and said with a serious face: "Bring me the name card."
The concierge bowed over, Lei Biao took the name card, glanced at it briefly, and couldn't help but laughed: "This Liu Chengfeng, others say he is a fool or a fool, he dares to do anything, but now it seems that he is nothing more than this
, and all of a sudden, he came to humble Mr. Lei."
Lei Biao was silent for a moment, slowly threw the name card aside, continued to lie back on the rocking chair, and said to the porter: "Go tell that so-and-so clerk, just tell me, sir, I need to take a bath and change clothes, and there is no lunch for me."
Eat, let him wait, and then let him go to see the adults of the hundred households in an hour or two at most."
He waved his hand and asked the concierge to go out. Then he leaned his head on the cushion of the rocking chair and said to the steward beside him: "I'll sleep for an hour first and call me later. I, Lei Biao, am not a bitch. I'll call you when you call me."
Go now."
After a while, Lei Biao began to snore.
When he woke up, it was already an hour later. He went to change his clothes, and then slowly arrived at the middle gate. As expected, he saw a man who looked like a scribe standing at the foot of the steps of the mansion, with a look on Lei Biao's face.
Unconsciously, he sneered and coughed dryly.
Secretary Wang was already very angry. He had been basking in the sun here for a long time. If he hadn't thought that Chen Hongyu would fall into the hands of these people, and the adults of Baihu were also cautious and suppressed his anger, he would have walked away long ago.
"But Mr. Lei? Students have heard of his name for a long time. Today, hundreds of families in my family are inviting guests. Please ask Mr. Lei to accompany the students."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Lei Biao smiled heartily, looked at Secretary Wang, and said: "A hundred households are summoned, how dare Mr. Lei not go? Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, Mr. Lei has to go, Mr. Trouble is here
Lead the way."
The so-called leading the way is actually a lie, because at this time, a carriage has stopped steadily in front of Lei Biao. Lei Biao got on the carriage. There was no movement at all. The carriage driver seemed to have already been greeted and ignored him.
Ignoring Wang's officials, he shouted, whipped and went ahead.
Wang Sili watched the carriage and horses galloping as fast as flying, farther and farther away. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "This man is so courageous." After that, he went to the stable to untie his old horse and followed slowly.

Liu Chengfeng looked at Lei Biao, and Lei Biao looked at Liu Chengfeng.
The two pairs of eyes crossed and then separated again.
Liu Chengfeng slowly closed his eyes, sat down, and said calmly: "Pour some tea."
Lei Biao had an inscrutable smile on his face, stretched out his palm and said, "No need."
Liu Chengfeng sat down and said calmly: "The guest is welcome, there is no need to serve tea."
The room seemed very quiet. Except for Secretary Wang who was standing on Liu Chengfeng's side, everyone had withdrawn. Lei Biao acted as if there was no one around, but he didn't feel polite at all. He put his feet up and said slowly: "Sir
You summoned the villain, but you don’t know why?”
Liu Chengfeng looked at the poor acting skills of this burly man and sneered in his heart. However, thinking of a dozen of his brothers falling into his hands, his tone was still polite. He smiled slightly and said, "What? Mr. Lei doesn't know? We have some problems."
My brother was surrounded by people at the river embankment. The Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers. Who has such courage to bully the Jinyiwei? Aren't you afraid of the king's law?"
Lei Biao frowned and said in surprise: "Ah? There is such a thing? It's just..." He said calmly: "But what does this kind of thing have to do with Mr. Lei? Could it be that Mr. Baihu suspected Mr. Lei?
On your body?"
Liu Chengfeng was too lazy to talk to him, and said straightforwardly: "I heard that Mr. Lei is quite mean-spirited in Yingchunfang. My meaning is simple. No matter who these people are who intercept Jin Yiwei, I don't want to care about them. I just want to
How about Master Lei stepping forward to settle the matter and get my brothers back, so I won't pursue the matter anymore?"
Lei Biao smiled. He didn't expect Liu Chengfeng to be subdued so easily. He hesitated and said slowly: "How can Mr. Lei be so mean? Mr. Chengmeng can take it seriously, but when it comes to it, this matter needs to be done."
It’s difficult to do!”
Liu Chengfeng showed weakness, not because he was afraid of Lei Biao, but after all, Chen Hongyu and others were his brothers. If he ignored them, his conscience would not be able to bear it. At this time, seeing Lei Biao hesitate, he said: "If Mr. Lei is lacking something,
But it’s okay to say it. If I can do it, it will be easy to say.”
Lei Biao looked at Liu Chengfeng, he was full of contempt for Liu Chengfeng, and thought proudly in his heart: "You kid, what are you saying about the people who broke into the East Factory and fell into the hands of Master Lei? Why don't you just submit obediently?"
?" He smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency, you must tell Mr. Lei, so Mr. Lei said it directly. Yingchun Square is different from other places. There are rules here. Originally, everyone in this square lived in peace.
, but since your Excellency came, I don’t know who listened to the instigation of some people, but I have always quarreled with some of Lei’s brothers. If your Excellency is willing to issue an announcement telling everyone that from now on, I will never embarrass Lei’s brothers again.
Removing those captains who patrolled the river embankment, this matter..." Lei Biao smiled and continued: "Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, Lei is willing to serve the Lord Hundred Households."
At this time, Liu Chengfeng's eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible disappointment. He stood up and said, "Come here, get the things."
Secretary Wang quickly left the room, and then led four or five captains to bring in two boxes.
Liu Chengfeng walked over and lifted the lid of the box. The box opened wide, and the neatly arranged silver ingots instantly made the room shine.
