Chapter 244: Standing up against injustice
Boss Qian pointed his finger to Awu, who was on the side: “This guy, lived in my house for three months, for three whole months! However, he hasn’t paid me even a single copper coin. I am the landlord, but I am the victim here, you have to figure out the situation first!”
Bai Zhi said: “He owes you rent, you ask him for money, that is natural, but why you should grab his wife to pay off the debt?”
Boss Qian yelled out loud: “He can’t afford to get money, so I give him a chance to use his wife to pay off the debt. If this matter is brought to the court, he will be sentenced and imprisoned for 10 or up to 18 years.”
“You must be working under the court, right? However, if you owe a person a few money, you will be imprisoned for 10 years or up to 18 years?” Bai Zhi didn’t believe it.
The thug around Boss Qian said: “Although my boss is not working under the court, his words are almost similar to the officials of the court. My boss’s wife is Gu Daren’s younger sister. If you understand it now, I advise you not to cause any more trouble.”
Bai Zhi was not convinced: “Really? So, the court that was originally set up by the imperial palace has now become your boss’s backyard? I guess before Meng Daren returned to the capital, I must tell him this. So that when he met the emperor, he can tell the emperor that this Qingyuan Town is no longer his land. The name of the owner now has changed to Boss Qian.”
When Boss Qian heard of this, he was stupefied for a moment, then he busily asked: “You said Meng Daren, do you mean Meng Nan, who is about to return to the capital?”
Bai Zhi nodded: “Naturally it’s him. We just finished eating together in the restaurant. We will send him out to the Qingyuan Town’s gate tomorrow.”
Boss Qian and Gu Daren were relatives. He has long been heard Meng Nan’s identity. Other people may not scare him, but Meng Nan’s identity was different. His family was a famous aristocrat in the capital. If he really returned to the capital and reported this matter to the emperor, then his brother-in-law will be miserable. And he will also suffer.
Thinking of this, Boss Qian’s face suddenly revealed a smile: “Little girl, we are just talking and laughing. You know this is a quarrel, so naturally, we will say some harsh words, but I really didn’t mean anything. You don’t need to tell this matter to Meng Daren.”
Bai Zhi swept her eyes to Awu: “Don’t tell, but what about Awu?”
Boss Qian busily said: “Oh, I don’t need his money, alright?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “How much rent he owes you? I will pay for it, but you must apologize to him.”
Boss Qian was unwilling, but he didn’t dare to offend the little girl in front of him. He will go along with her first, but once Meng Nan left, he will clean this little girl.
“Alright, I will apologize to him. I was wrong, I should apologize to him.” He smiled and said, but his smile could make other people sick.
After Boss Qian apologized, Bai Zhi gave him the rent that Awu owed to him: “Take this money and leave. They will not rent your house anymore.” If they continue to live in this house, this thing will only happen again and again.
Boss Qian hated the little girl, he couldn’t wait to clean her up.
But now, he can only walk away with his men. Awu knelt in front of Bai Zhi and Hu Feng.
Bai Zhi helped him up and smiled. “You don’t have to do this. We should stand up against injustice. And that’s what we only do.”
Awu opened his mouth and said: “I’ve driven your carriage in here. However, you did not blame me, but also helped me with money. I really don’t know how I will repay you.” He has nothing now, he wants to repay them, but he was powerless.
