The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 82 [082] Eat all the birds and throw them into the forest, the white land is so clean
On the other side, Wang Ziteng led the cavalry to escort Zhao Bichi back to the Five Army Commander's Mansion.

Seeing that Zhao Bichi was thrown into prison, Wang Xifeng had a smug and cold smile on her lips. She saluted Wang Ziteng and said respectfully:
"Thank you, Uncle, for taking the initiative and venting this bad breath for me."

Wang Ziteng nodded and said with a smile:
"My family doesn't need to talk about the two families, don't worry, I will definitely deal with this Zhao Bichi severely! Let him know what will happen if he offends our Wang family!"

Wang Xifeng exchanged some polite greetings with Wang Ziteng, then said goodbye with Ping'er and left.

The two returned to Rongguo Mansion in a carriage. Wang Xifeng did not get out of the carriage immediately, but asked a servant to find a piece of black silk cloth and covered his red and swollen face before getting out of the carriage. The sight of the person hurriedly returned to the small courtyard where he lived.

As soon as she entered the bedroom, Wang Xifeng urged vaguely:
"Ping'er, hurry up and invite the imperial physician, my two cheeks are red and swollen, I need to ask the imperial physician to help me reduce the swelling, otherwise, I will be ashamed to see others."

Ping'er immediately went to the imperial physician and prescribed some herbal medicine for internal and external application.

Wang Xifeng was reclining lazily on the bed, the maid Feng'er smashed the herbal medicine in a stone mortar, spread it on the gauze, and then applied it on Wang Xifeng's swollen cheeks.

Wang Xifeng gasped in pain, and muttered indignantly:

"It's all the fault of that Zhao Bichi. He is such a daring dog. He dared to slap me twice. I must castrate him!"

After the imperial doctor left, Ping'er persuaded softly:

"Grandma, please listen to my advice, in the future, it is better to give out usury less, there are a lot of rascals like Zhao Bichi in the city of Shenjing.

If they meet another picky rogue in the future, I'm afraid they will cause trouble again. If they are related to some high-ranking officials, it will cause a catastrophe. "

Wang Xifeng sighed lightly and said:

"I have no choice, so I have to put loan sharks, earn some interest, and subsidize the family. Rongguo Mansion has been unable to make ends meet in recent years. It pays more and earns less. To support such a large family, Rongguo Mansion alone depends on The money in the official account is not enough at all.

You know, how many frugal methods I have thought of over the years, probably no one in my family hates me secretly.Now, I am too hard to get off.

I saved a lot of money, outsiders saw the joke, not only the old lady and wife were wronged, but the family members also complained that I was mean and unkind, but if I didn’t think about frugal measures as soon as possible, I would lose it all in a few years. "

Hearing this, Ping'er also sighed unceasingly. As the big steward of the Rongguo Mansion, Grandma Dao looked very beautiful on the surface, but in fact, in order to maintain the dignity of the Duke's Mansion, she had to embezzle the monthly bills of everyone in the mansion and release loan sharks to the outside world. Earn interest and make up for the shortfall.

Although Grandma Ru also took a small part of the interest, most of it was filled into the daily expenses of Rongguo Mansion.

Although Grandma Dao tried her best to maintain the balance of income and expenditure of Rongguo Mansion, she was still notorious for being unfeeling, insidious, vicious, and harming the public and private interests.

Thinking of this, Ping'er persuaded softly:

"Grandma, although we don't have any other ways to make money for the time being, we should restrain ourselves in the future. If too much usury is released and the repayment is slow, and the hole cannot be plugged, it will definitely cause complaints and complaints from the whole family." Criticism, by then, the trouble will be big."

Wang Xifeng nodded helplessly:
"You are right, but even with the capital released now and the interest that can be earned back, it is still difficult to maintain Rongguo Mansion's balance of payments.

In the future, if the interest on loans is reduced, it will not be able to make up for the shortfall. At that time, the Rongguo Mansion's wealth will be spent, and everyone in the whole mansion can only starve to death. "

Ping'er shook her head and let out a long sigh, she didn't say another word, she always felt that going on like this was not a long-term solution, and it was likely to cause even greater disasters in the future.

On the other side, in the courtyard of Luxue Temple.

Hearing Jia Qiang's question, Wang Lang hesitated for a moment, then smiled embarrassingly and said:

"Actually, I originally opened a martial arts gym in my hometown Jimo, but in August last year, the local White Lotus Sect sent two people to my martial arts gym to extort money. Guan, in a fit of rage, I punched and kicked both of them down.

The rudder leader of the White Lotus Sect gave me a letter of challenge and invited me to compete on the cliff by the seaside of Jimo. The other party's whereabouts are unknown, life and death are unknown.

The White Lotus Sect threatened to devote all its strength to retaliate against me. I saw that the other party had a large number of people, so I had to avoid disaster and leave Jimo, and traveled thousands of miles to Shenjing City to make a living.

Since the White Lotus Sect also has a branch in Shenjing City, I didn't want to expose my identity, so I didn't open a martial arts gym in Shenjing City. Instead, I applied to be a swineherd to make a living temporarily. "

After hearing this, Jia Qiang was quite emotional and sighed:

In the long history, some religious sects aim at awe-inspiring ideals such as walking on behalf of the heavens, eradicating the strong and supporting the weak, and protecting the environment and the people. It is the upper echelons of the sect who use this to fool the congregation, and use the congregation to seek personal gain for themselves and satisfy their selfish desires.

For example, the White Lotus Sect has many high-sounding slogans, one of which is "Destroy the rich and benefit the poor", which actually means robbing the rich and helping the poor.

But after the congregation robbed the money of the rich, how would they distribute it?Isn't the leader getting the most points?
If things go on like this, the leader has become a new rich man, and the high-ranking members of the sect have become a new privileged class. The fruits of victory that the congregants fought so hard to grab were finally coaxed and snatched away by the leader and the privileged class.

In the eyes of the leader and the privileged class, the congregants are just tool people and leeks.

Jia Qiang withdrew her thoughts, patted Wang Lang's shoulder, smiled and comforted:
"Therefore, when heaven will give a great responsibility to man, he must first suffer his mind and will, labor his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, empty his body, and disturb his actions.

A man can bend and stretch, it's nothing to endure a moment of anger, and he will take revenge later, just feel proud.

Work hard, I will definitely not treat you badly, as for the white lotus sect embarrassing you, I will help you find them to settle the score in the future! "

Wang Lang was very grateful, he cupped his fists and gave a salute:
"Thank you Brother Qiang for your great love. I will do my best and do my best to live up to Brother Qiang's support and support."

At the same time, Huang Taiji finally got rid of the talkative Hai Rui, but found that Jia Qiang had disappeared without a trace.

He didn't know that the sharp archer he was following was named Jia Qiang, so he had to lead two of his men to search around the city of Shenjing for several hours, but the crowd was so vast, looking for an unknown person was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Huang Taiji snorted coldly, and thought to himself:

"In the future, I will lead the Eight Banners army to the south and devour Daming. Even if you hide in the ends of the world, I will find you out!"
