Chapter 225 You Are Not Worthy of Being My Elder
Speaking of this, Qian Feng was even more speechless.
I have to say that Qiao Er really does things flawlessly.
Every time there was an event to entertain the troops, Qiao Er always ran very fast and basically never missed a single one.
In this respect, although he was a gambling house owner, he was really impeccable.
Qian Feng frowned, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He really didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Nangong is old. You can't treat him like this?" After thinking for a while, Qian Feng finally squeezed out a sentence.
"I told him to pay back the money, and he rolled on the ground, and even beat up my buddy." Qiao Er said, "I'm afraid there's no other gambling house in Mangcheng that's as aggrieved as mine. I asked people to hold him down because I saw he hurt someone. But what kind of bullshit did he say? He said he would ask his son to kill our whole family! Haha." Qiao Er sneered, "We run a gambling house through a side business, but we also open the door to do legitimate business. I didn't go to the street to pull you in. You borrowed money from me and didn't pay it back. You didn't apologize for beating up my people, and even threatened to kill my whole family? It seems that I respect you so much, but I respect you and you turned out to be an ungrateful person."
"Dad? Did you really say that?" Nangong Rui's heart sank when he heard that.
He had already seen it when Wei Ling brought Su Jixiang in just now.
But Wei Ling and Su Jixiang stood still in the distance. Since they didn't come over, he could only pretend not to see them. After all, they couldn't figure out whether Wei Ling would care about this matter, or whether he came because of this matter.
He had just been expelled from the Black Tiger Army by Wei Ling, and now seeing the current situation, he really had no face to see Wei Ling.
Nangong Tian snorted, "What's wrong with that? Don't even mention that you are now the second in command of Mangcheng! Even if it were our ancestors, our family was once a powerful family in Jingdong Capital, but we were exiled here because of a crime. If our family had not fallen on hard times, these people would not be able to curry favor with us no matter how hard they tried!"
"Haha. Old man, you're talking about ancestors!" Qiao Er also grew up in the market, and his tongue is not inferior to anyone. "Your ancestors didn't burn incense well, so you have a useless descendant like you! If your ancestors burned incense well, you should be in the capital now! Why bother running to a place like ours to owe me money!"
When Su Jixiang heard this, she couldn't help laughing out loud, but she quickly held it back and didn't attract anyone's attention.
However, she took a closer look at the young owner of the gambling house, Qiao Er.
It must be said that she had been listening here ever since she and Wei Ling came in, and she basically understood the whole story clearly.
To put it bluntly, Nangong Tian took advantage of his power to bully others, borrowed money and didn't pay it back, and even beat up people from the gambling house.
Qiao Er was right. There weren't many people who ran gambling houses as polite as him... Of course, this was also for Nangong Rui's sake.
"This Qiao Er is indeed a talented person." Su Jixiang whispered in Wei Ling's ear.
Wei Ling also nodded. He had been standing here for a long time and couldn't hear anything wrong with Qiao Er.
Nangong Rui's face turned red with embarrassment.
His father used to like to talk about their ancestors, but their family had already gone through three generations since they arrived in Mangcheng.
Each generation lives worse than the previous one. His father even sold all the land left by his ancestors. What's the point of talking about ancestors?
"Boss Qiao, it's my father's fault." Nangong Rui quickly cupped his hands and said, "I want to apologize to you for what happened today. I just hope you can show some mercy and let my father go this time."
"Okay. Since it's Master Nangong who asked, I won't refuse you this favor. I'm not an unreasonable person. The IOU is right here. You can give me some money and take the person away. As for how much to give,... you decide for yourself!" Qiao Er said, "I paid for the medical expenses of my friend who was beaten. Does this count as giving Master Nangong a favor?"
Nangong Rui's heart suddenly relaxed. How could this not be considered giving face? This face was too great!
If this happened somewhere else, I'm afraid my father's hands and feet would have been chopped off.
"I don't have much money on me right now." Nangong Rui still looked embarrassed and said, "How about I write you an IOU for nine hundred taels of silver and I'll pay off the debt, is that okay with you?"
"Brother Nangong, are you crazy? You have lost your official position now!" Zhao Xiuwan suddenly said, "What are you going to give them back? Sell yourself?"
Qiao Er was about to nod, but when he heard Zhao Xiuwan say this, he was stunned.
"Lord Nangong has lost his official position?" asked Qiao Er.
"Isn't it?" Zhao Xiuwan said, "He is not able to pay you back."
"Madam! Please don't talk too much!" Qian Feng became anxious when he heard this, and took Zhao Xiuwan back a step, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"How did I say that?" Zhao Xiuwan continued to insist, "I have already hired Brother Nangong as the manager of my shop. I can't afford to pay him so much money! How can he pay back such a large sum of money?"
After Zhao Xiuwan finished speaking, she winked at Qian Feng.
Qian Feng was stunned for a moment, but still didn't react.
"Madam, please shut up!" Qian Feng quickly covered Zhao Xiuwan's mouth.
"What?" Nangong Tian jumped up three feet high when he heard it. "You lost your official position? How come you lost your official position? Where's Wei Ling? I'm going to find him. He has imprisoned so many of my sons and I haven't even settled accounts with him yet. Now he has taken away your official position. I'm going to fight him to the death!"
“Dad! Don’t go crazy!” Nangong Rui felt like he was almost suffocating.
Wei Ling took Su Jixiang and walked slowly out of the darkness.
When he came in just now, he had already revealed his identity to the person at the door, saying that he was here to see their boss. The person at the door knew that it was really the general in person, so naturally they would not stop him. He did not ask anyone to come in to inform, but after he brought Su Jixiang in, he found a corner and stood there to listen.
Now that Nangong Tian was looking for him to settle the score, Wei Ling thought it was time for him to show up.
"I'm right here. What do you want to settle with me?" Wei Ling said in a cold voice with a cold face.
Everyone present except Nangong Rui was stunned. They didn't know when Wei Ling and Su Jixiang came in.
Zhao Xiuwan looked at Wei Ling holding Su Jixiang's hand and couldn't help but curl her lips.
"Greetings, General." Although she was reluctant, she still followed the others in bowing, "Greetings, Madam."
Wei Ling waved his hand, "Nangong Tian, I used to respectfully call you Uncle Nangong, but your words and actions today are really unworthy of an elder." Wei Ling said slowly, "Everyone has his own responsibility for his own actions. As a father, do you understand this principle?"
