At the same time that the Qin family's father and son were emotionally shattered, Shao Xi and Lao Wu had already returned to Huaichang City with Wei Ping and were sitting in the back hall of Taihe Trading Company drinking tea with shopkeeper Lu.
At this time, after Wei Ping had bathed, changed clothes, and had a hearty meal, his whole body's energy and energy were completely different, and his eyes were also shining.
At this moment, several people were talking about how the Qin family's father and son would react. The happiest among them was Lao Wu. This time he not only rescued his junior brother, but also avenged the death of the past. An air of contentment.
"Hahahaha! I wonder if Qin Yuezong broke Qin Miao's legs at this moment? I feel happy just thinking about it! The father and son may be having trouble at the moment, right? They really deserve it!"
Wei Ping asked Shao Xi with a little worry: "Master Shao, it's okay for you and your senior brother to rescue me, but will the coachmen and guards who set off with us be implicated? Will the Qin family father and son report this to the official?" Are you going to take it back for questioning?"
Shao Xi waved his hand and said to Wei Ping confidently: "Senior, please don't worry, these coachmen and guards are only paid to be employed. They will do whatever the employer asks them to do. They don't know anything in the first place, and the government will not take advantage of it." They are so full that they go to trouble them. Besides, what are the father and son going to report to the government? They don’t have any certificates in their hands."
At this time, shopkeeper Lu took a sip of tea and interjected with a smile: "Master Shao's move is really brilliant. He actually took away the 20,000 taels of silver from the father and son without leaving any written evidence. This time Even if they want to sue Mr. Shao, it will be difficult for them to do so!"
Shao Xi happily handed over to Shopkeeper Lu.
"The success of this matter is all due to the help of Shopkeeper Lu. I would like to thank Shopkeeper Lu! I have made a note of this in my heart. If I meet Shopkeeper Zhang in the future, I will definitely recommend Shopkeeper Lu to Kyoto."
When Shopkeeper Lu heard what Shao Xi said, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no! Master Shao, don't say that, it's just a business. Our Taihe Trading Company will also make a profit this time, and we can't talk about helping. Master Shao, don't recommend it either." I went to Kyoto, and I enjoyed my stay here very well. There are too many troubles in Kyoto, and I’m too worried!”
"Shopkeeper Lu, it's been three days since Qin Miao borrowed money from you. Once the half-month deadline is up, Shopkeeper Lu will have to pay for it!"
"It's easy to say, easy to say! He took the money from me. When the time comes, I will naturally go to them to ask for the account. If they can't get it, I will seize the house and the land. After all, I, Mr. Shao, also took your money from Taihe Trading Company." , you always have to do things for customers, right?"
Shao Xi laughed, "Yes, yes! Shopkeeper Lu is right, then everything that happens next depends entirely on Shopkeeper Lu. After all the Qin family's property is recovered, I will definitely be grateful."
"What did Mr. Shao say? Business is business. We, Taihe Trading Company, have taken Mr. Shao's money, so naturally we have to do things for him. Why should we say thank you? We've seen each other, we've seen each other!"
Wei Ping saw that Shao Xi and Shopkeeper Lu were chatting with each other enthusiastically, and he also heard how Shao Xi had planned and arranged, and he couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him.
Being able to arrange this matter in every detail, and having the courage to visit the Qin family in person, and play with the Qin family father and son, was indeed completely beyond his expectation. He did not expect that Shao Xi would be so young. There is such strategy and courage.
"Master Shao, I originally thought that you and your senior brother would just sneak into the Qin family to rescue me, and then kill the Qin family father and son to avenge what happened to us back then, but I didn't expect that you would arrange the matter so complicatedly that the father and son would To have to bear the painful feeling of losing everything before dying is really the perfect revenge."
Shao Xi decided to do this originally because he wanted to vent his anger for Lao Wu, but the current result is indeed helping Wei Ping avenge his past.
"Hmph! I don't care how many immoral things the father and son did back then, but they imprisoned Senior Wei and Lao Wu failed to save Senior Wei and was injured by them and almost lost his life. I have to find them no matter what. To settle the accounts, killing them would be too cheap for them, and I want them to experience the feeling of having nothing before they die."
From Shao Xi's words, Wei Ping also heard that Shao Xi's main purpose of doing this was to give Lao Wu the same tone as before, and to save himself was just because this was Lao Wu's wish.
At this time, Wei Ping began to understand why Old Wu was willing to be a slave in someone else's house, because the young master in Old Wu's mouth was willing to go to such great lengths for revenge for one of his own servants. This relationship is no longer a master-servant relationship. So simple.
Shopkeeper Lu now saw that they were already talking about life and death, and felt that he was no longer suitable to be there to listen to their conversation, so he wisely found an excuse and left the back hall.
Don't listen to things you shouldn't hear, and don't know things you shouldn't know. It's always good for people to be a little confused at certain times.
"Senior Wei, after Shopkeeper Lu takes back all the Qin family's properties, he will hand them over to Senior Wei. What the Qin family and his son have done to you over the years is to cost them their own lives. In addition to paying back the debt, the wealth of the Qin family can be regarded as a little compensation for Senior Wei!"
When Wei Ping heard this, he waved his hands hurriedly and said calmly: "Don't! I'm used to being free in my life, so I have to hand over such a bunch of houses and land to take care of it. , I am too lazy to do it after all the hard work.
"Besides, isn't it just because of the treasure map in my hand that they have imprisoned me for so many years? Speaking of wealth, I should be the most indispensable."
Lao Wu felt a little unhappy when he heard what Wei Ping said. His junior brother had been persecuted by the Qin family for so many years, and in the end the junior brother didn't even want any compensation. He felt a loss for his junior brother.
"Wei Ping, you have been imprisoned by the Qin family for more than twenty years. The best years of your life have disappeared like this. Otherwise, junior brother, you would have been a wealthy man with your ability. Now you have taken away the Qin family's property. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
"I understand the good intentions of Senior Brother and Mr. Shao, but after being imprisoned for more than 20 years, I also want to understand that money is just an external possession. Now that you have allowed me to be free, it is already the best gift to me. In the years to come, I plan to Travel around, visit the world's famous mountains and rivers, and enjoy the beauty of the world. Money! It doesn't matter anymore."
Seeing that Wei Ping had already said this, Shao Xi and Lao Wu couldn't say anything more.
Everyone has his own ambitions. Maybe Wei Ping stole the Wuhai Kingdom's treasure map for wealth back then, but after more than twenty years of imprisonment, he should have seen through everything in this world.
Since this is not his intention, there is really no need to force him to take over the Qin family's property.
As he said, accepting these things is tantamount to tying yourself to this land. Isn't it also another kind of imprisonment to a certain extent?
Since he has chosen to travel around and enjoy his freedom, why not just let him go! As long as you have a broad mind and the whole world is yours, how can you care about a house or a place?
However, Shao Xi still took out the five thousand taels of silver notes that shopkeeper Lu had given him before, and placed them in front of Wei Ping.
When Wei Ping saw Shao Xi's move, he didn't understand what Shao Xi meant. He had just said that he didn't need money, so why did this young man hand him such a large stack of banknotes?
Shao Xi had a sincere smile, completely showing the respectful attitude of a younger generation paying filial piety to their elders.
He said to Wei Ping: "Senior, don't get me wrong. Since senior is unwilling to accept the Qin family's property, traveling around the world is inseparable from money. There will always be some expenses. Senior, just use these banknotes. If there is anything in the future, If you have any needs, you can go to Daliang City in Kyoto to look for me, but I will not hesitate to follow you if you need me."
Shao Xi said this, which made Wei Ping feel embarrassed, and he quickly declined: "Master Shao just saved me from fire and water, how can I accept such a generous gift from Master Shao now? I absolutely cannot do it!"
"Hey! What the senior said is wrong! This is not the junior's money. It belongs to the Qin family's father and son. Since the senior is unwilling to accept the Qin family's property, the junior has to take care of it. These five thousand taels of silver notes also belong to his Qin family. The father and son gave it to each other, and the seniors can carry it without binding their hands and feet. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
When Lao Wu saw what Shao Xi said, he quickly agreed and advised Wei Ping to accept the banknote.
Wei Ping thought about it and realized that what Shao Xi said made sense. He had been tortured by the Qin family for so many years, so it was not an exaggeration to give him some money as compensation, so he readily accepted it.
However, all of this was planned and implemented by Shao Xi. Wei Ping still felt that he owed Shao Xi a huge favor, but he didn't know how to repay the favor.
So he handed Shao Xi the piece of rag that Shao Xi had given back to him before, which was the treasure map of Wuhai Kingdom, from his arms.
Shao Xi and Lao Wu were both stunned by Wei Ping's move. Back then, Wei Ping had worked hard for this treasure map, and the Qin family and his son had imprisoned him for more than 20 years but could not get him to hand it over. , and now he just gave it to Shao Xi so casually? This is quite a surprise!
Wei Ping also laughed and said with a smile on his face: "I was too young back then and was too obsessed with wealth. Now I understand, as long as I can live freely, what do these treasures mean? I can see that you are a person who wants to do big things. As a person, this wealth may be more useful to you, so I’ll leave it to you!”
Shao Xi was happy and did not refuse.
He reached out and took over the already somewhat tattered treasure map. Without looking at it carefully, he rolled it up and stuffed it into his arms, and thanked Wei Ping.
Wei Ping also waved his hand. At this time, he couldn't tell who should thank whom, so the gesture of thanking him seemed a bit redundant.
"Okay! With Mr. Shao here, I believe that the Qin family father and son will not end well. I won't stay here to see their unlucky appearance. Let's say goodbye and see you again someday!"
Wei Ping insisted on leaving despite Lao Wu's pleas to stay. He was really a man with a unique temperament and left as he pleased without any nostalgia or concern.
