Zhou Baoliang figured this out and calmed down: "In this case, how are you going to deal with Zhou?"
"Master Zhou is joking. Yu Lei is just a small helper. How can he be qualified to deal with Master Zhou?" Yu Lei sat down again: "But what Master Zhao means is to have full control over Zhao Erfeng, Minister of Sichuan and Yunnan Border Affairs.
The master and I will go back to Tibet together and study the silver coins carefully to see if Mr. Zhao is talking nonsense or if there is something wrong with Mr. Zhou."
As soon as he said these words, Zhou Baoliang's expression changed.
Let's not talk about how bitter and cold Tibet is. Once I get there, I have a lot of doubts about whether I can come back. There is a lot of knowledge in these four words "careful study". Zhao Erfeng left himself there for ten years and eight years.
There is absolutely no excuse.
"Come here." Zhou Baoliang called the housekeeper and whispered in his ear for a while. The housekeeper left in a hurry. After a while, he brought a banknote and put it respectfully in front of Yu Lei:
"Bangdai Yu, my master has been in poor health recently and really can't go to Tibet. I would like to ask Bangdai Yu to accept the money and treat it as hard-earned money for the brothers. I ask Bangdai Yu to deal with it anyway after taking it back. When my master
When you are well, you will definitely go to Tibet to pay homage to Mr. Zhao."
Wang Hengyue stood behind Yu Lei and could see clearly that this was a banknote worth twenty thousand taels. He sighed in his heart that these businessmen were really generous with their money. They only paid tens of thousands taels at a time. He had worked so hard for just a few thousand taels of silver.
I have to worry about it all night. Looking at this person's momentum, it seems that the money is not his own, but there is a cornucopia at home.
I thought that I could easily get 20,000 taels of silver in one trip, which was pretty good, but I didn't expect that Yu Lei's appetite was much more than that.
Yu Lei pushed the banknote to the housekeeper again: "Yu is an official of the imperial court and earns his salary from the imperial court. He is loyal and sincere. Since Mr. Zhao specially sent me to deal with this matter, how can Yu do something bad for some money?"
Damn Mr. Zhao’s reputation?”
Yu Lei refused to accept the money, so the housekeeper turned his attention to Zhou Baoliang. Zhou Baoliang stopped caring for a while. Is this helper really unwilling to accept the money, or did he think he had too little money?
While he was hesitating, a maid came in to change the tea, and moved to Yu Lei's place. She happened to meet Yu Lei's eyes, and she was stunned. There was only a "ding-dong" sound, the plate fell to the ground, and the tea bowl inside was smashed. The maid screamed.
crying:
"elder brother!"
A person as calm as Yu Lei couldn't help but change his face at this time, trembled all over, and hugged the maid: "Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, my sister, my brother has been looking for you everywhere these years, looking for you everywhere...
..."
The scene suddenly changed dramatically. The Yu family brothers and sisters unexpectedly reunited here. Wang Hengyue and the three brothers looked at each other in shock. No one expected such a thing to happen.
Zhou Baoliang was also stunned, and after a long while he said: "Yu, helper Yu, is this your sister?"
Yu Lei let go of his sister, wiped the tears on Xiaoyun's face, and his expression quickly returned to calm: "Mr. Zhou, this is Yu's biological sister Yu Yun. How did she end up in Mr. Zhou's house?"
"This..." There are so many maids in the Zhou family, how could they have thought of where this came from?
Yu Yun cried and said: "Brother, that time you, you... I later went back to Leshan to beg for food. I saw Master Zhou's family looking for maids, so I came."
"Recruiting a maid? I'm afraid she was taken by force, right?" Someone behind Yu Lei suddenly said.
Yu Lei looked back and saw that it was Wang Hengyue who was speaking. Wang Hengyue sneered repeatedly: "I've heard that Mr. Zhou wants to marry a woman when he sees one, relying on his power. How old is Xiaoyun? What can he know? Even if he is raped,
People forcefully come in, but they can’t resist!"
Seeing that the adults actually stood up for him, Yu Lei felt very grateful. Seeing that his sister wanted to speak, he hurriedly stopped him and sneered a few times: "Yu is just a little helper. There is nothing you can do to Master Zhou. But the world has its own laws.
I can manage it! There is a man named Yu Yu. I wonder if Mr. Zhou still remembers it. After Mr. Zhou took him as a concubine, he let his subordinates play with him. In the end, Yu Yu couldn't bear the humiliation and hanged herself. By the way, Mr. Zhou had so many women.
Where can I still remember Yu Yu?"
Zhou Baoliang's face was pale. Although he had many women, he could never forget Yu Yu. After Yu Yu hanged himself that time, he thought it was bad luck and did rituals for several days before he felt at ease. Now he heard Yu Lei say this
As soon as I said it, I thought that everyone's surname was Yu, and my words were a little trembling: "Remember, Yu Yu is led by the Yu gang..."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for remembering." Yu Lei said with no expression on his face: "That's Yu's cousin. Yu wants to write a pretentious complaint and take the case to Zhao Duxian, even if he is torn to pieces.
Fight for justice for my cousin!"
This matter immediately became troublesome. The Zhao brothers were originally going to make trouble for Zhou Baoliang, so wouldn't this give them a handle?
"Mr. Yu, if you have something to say, if you have something to say," the housekeeper kept trying to smooth things over: "My master was also very sad about the death of Ms. Yu...Yu, but people cannot be resurrected after death, so we will take care of it in the long run.
, take a long-term view.”
Yu Lei looked very calm: "Yes, the dead cannot be resurrected. Mr. Zhou, we can put this matter aside for now. But the silver dollar issue must be resolved! Now the brothers have to pay their salaries again. Where does the money come from?
Please Master Zhou, please help us!"
Wang Hengyue and several brothers were very surprised. They originally took this opportunity to take revenge, but who would have thought that Yu Lei would actually talk about money again?
Wang Hengyue thought for a while, Yu Lei was a thoughtful and ruthless person, and he would retaliate for every little thing, let alone such a big thing as his sister's death? He would definitely not let Zhou Baoliang go so easily. He probably had his own purpose in doing so.
Zhou Baoliang was already confused. When he heard Yu Lei talking about "payment", he immediately felt that things were about to turn around: "Yu Gang, how much money do you need for payment?"
"Five hundred thousand taels!"
Yu Lei opened his mouth and startled everyone. The butler said repeatedly: "Brother Yu, this is too much, this is too much."
Yu Lei said coldly: "How much? Mr. Zhou, five hundred thousand taels can buy Taiping, which is very cheap. Mr. Zhou's family has a big business, how can you take this money in your eyes? Besides, not one tael of this money fell to Yu
In the pocket, if Mr. Zhou is really in trouble, Yu will say goodbye!"
Standing up and preparing to leave, Zhou Baoliang hurriedly said: "Wait!"
I have been thinking about it for a long time. Although five hundred thousand taels is a huge sum of money and may not ruin others' lives, I may not see it in my eyes. If I can really exchange five hundred thousand taels for peace of mind, it will be worth it!
Yi gritted his teeth: "Here, I'll give it! Five hundred thousand taels, I'll give it to you! But can this matter really be settled here?"
Yu Lei smiled: "Brothers, you have money in your pockets, why do you want to trouble Master Zhou?"
