Divorce the bad husband, store grain fields, and marry the emperor's uncle for the second time
Chapter 42 Song Wenshan's Plan
After entering the yard, Xia Xiaorou saw that in the main room, there sat a young woman and a sturdy man of medium height.
Zuo Feiyi's hands were tied, with a document in front of him, and three people were talking about something.
Xia Xiaorou blinked. Wasn’t that young woman the woman whom she often helped in her previous life?
How did you get involved in gambling?
"Madam Lan, I have brought my mother here. Tell me, how much money do you want to redeem her?" Zuo Qingqing ran into the main room and begged the young woman who was sitting there.
Lan Ruxin glanced at Madam Zuo and Xia Xiaorou calmly, then smiled at Zuo Qingqing, "Five hundred taels! Can you afford it?"
"What? Five...five hundred taels?" When Mrs. Zuo heard the number, she was shocked.
Zuo Qingqing started to cry, "How could there be so much? My brother can't possibly owe so much. Did you cheat me out of my brother's money?"
"Mom, Qingqing, you go back. I will handle this matter. I'm negotiating with them." Zuo Feiyi felt sad when he saw his crying mother and sister, and he hurriedly comforted them.
"How did you negotiate? What did you promise them?" Mrs. Zuo asked anxiously, stamping her feet.
"I..." Zuo Feiyi frowned slightly when he saw Xia Xiaorou following him. "Anyway, there will be no danger to your life."
Xia Xiaorou narrowed her eyes. What was Zuo Feiyi looking at her for?
Could it be that she is involved in this matter?
"I want to talk to Zuo Tongsheng alone." Xia Xiaorou said to the young woman, "I am Zuo Tongsheng's cousin."
Zuo Tongsheng nodded and said, "Madam Lan, let me talk to my cousin and then sign the documents with you. Is this not too much to ask?" Zuo Feiyi begged.
Lan Ruxin glanced at the man next to her, and after a few words in a low voice, she nodded and said, "Okay. Go ahead."
The man rescued Zuo Feiyi from the chair and pushed him into a room on the side.
Xia Xiaorou hurriedly followed in.
She glanced outside the house, pushed Zuo Feiyi to the corner of the house, and asked in a low voice, "What happened to you? Aren't you quite smart? How did someone plot against you?"
"Madam Xia." Zuo Feiyi's face was grim, and he shook his head and said, "I got into trouble because I investigated Song Wenshan's affairs. Someone used evidence against me, and not only do I have to pay back the five hundred taels, I might also lose my title as a student. I didn't do it because of gambling."
"Because of me? Is it about Song Wenshan?" Xia Xiaorou narrowed her eyes. "You investigated Song Wenshan and alerted the Song family? Are these two people from the Song family?"
"I don't know if they are members of the Song family, but they are definitely Song Wenshan's people." Zuo Feiyi laughed helplessly, "Madam Xia, you'd better not get along with a man like this, lest he tarnish your reputation."
Xia Xiaorou narrowed her eyes, "Zuo Feiyi, why don't you just tell me what's going on?"
"What's going on? Ha, it's ironic, it's really ironic!" Zuo Feiyi said sarcastically.
He told Xia Xiaorou the cause of the incident.
Xia Xiaorou suddenly realized!
It turns out that this is how Song Wenshan became Zuo Feiyi!
When Zuo Feiyi was selling calligraphy and paintings, he encountered a honey trap.
The other party accused Zuo Feiyi of molesting a young woman and wanted to report to the police.
Zuo Feiyi is a student of Tongsheng. If this matter is reported to the county government, Zuo Feiyi will lose his title of student of Tongsheng and will not be able to take the examination for scholar in the future.
He asked how to settle it privately.
The other party said that all we had to do was go to their casino and show our support.
So he entered the gambling house. He, who had never gambled before, won ten taels the first time and one tael the second time, but he kept losing after that. Finally, when he calculated his total debt, he lost five hundred taels in total.
Even if he sold his house, or even his entire family, he still wouldn't be able to pay off the debt!
The man who asked him to gamble came with a young woman and said that he wanted to cooperate with him. As long as he agreed, he would not have to pay back the five hundred taels.
He knew in his heart that this was their trick.
At this point, he had no choice but to follow their wishes and ask them about their real purpose.
The young woman said: As long as he agrees to exchange identities with Song Wenshan, the five hundred taels of silver will be written off.
"Madam Xia, when I heard the three words Song Wenshan, I realized that they came well prepared." Zuo Feiyi said angrily.
Xia Xiaorou's eyes narrowed and she sneered in her heart.
Song Wenshan!
He approached Zuo Feiyi with a purpose in order to escape the pursuit of the county magistrate's office.
Once Zuo Feiyi agreed, Song Wenshan would report the case to the police, and then Zuo Feiyi would die for Song Wenshan.
No wonder Song Wenshan was able to get along smoothly in his previous life without anyone investigating him.
It turned out that Zuo Feiyi was beheaded in his place!
"Zuo Feiyi, do you want to agree? Do you want to exchange identities with Song Wenshan?" Xia Xiaorou asked with narrowed eyes.
Zuo Feiyi looked angry and said, "Of course I don't want to change, but..."
He looked outside the bedroom, where his widowed mother and young sister were anxiously waiting for his decision, and nodded, "I agree."
Xia Xiaorou guessed the result.
Zuo Feiyi is a sentimental and principled person.
He would not let his relatives bear his troubles.
"If you agree, even if you have to die for Song Wenshan, will you agree?" Xia Xiaorou sneered with narrowed eyes, "After you die, your mother and your sister will be homeless and die miserably. Can you bear it?"
Zuo Feiyi's eyes widened, "Madam Xia, you...what did you say?"
"To be honest, it's my responsibility. I have something to hide from you about Song Wenshan." Xia Xiaorou said apologetically, "Song Wenshan hid from me not because he despised me for being illiterate. It was because he accidentally killed someone the day before the wedding. He didn't dare to show up.
"But he wanted to pass the imperial examination, so he set a trap for you and asked you to switch identities with him. In fact, he wanted you to die for him so that he could change his name and live a free life. And you, Zuo Tongsheng, are just a scapegoat!"
"What?" Zuo Feiyi was shocked. "Song Wenshan actually——"
"Keep your voice down, Zuo Tongsheng, let's think of a plan now to help you get rid of your debt and prevent Song Wenshan from harming you again." Xia Xiaorou reminded.
At this moment, Zuo Feiyi was confused by all the things going on. He rubbed his forehead and asked, "Madam Xia, do you have any good solutions?"
Xia Xiaorou certainly thought of it. She looked at Zuo Feiyi and said, "Yes, but it's a bit risky."
"As a man, what's the big deal about taking a risk? Madam Xia, just tell me." Zuo Feiyi nodded generously.
Xia Xiaorou nodded, "Okay, I'll tell you."
She lowered her voice and spoke of her plan.
After hearing this, Zuo Feiyi said cheerfully, "What's so difficult about this? Leave it to me."
After the two of them had discussed it, they walked out of the side room together.
"Mr. Zuo Tongsheng, have you thought it through? Do you agree to sign the document?" Lan Ruxin nodded at Zuo Feiyi and asked.
Zuo Feiyi said, "No problem, but I have to tell Song Tongsheng in person."
Lan Ruxin looked at the big man beside her and nodded, "Okay, then it's settled. I'll bring Song Tongsheng here this afternoon."
Madam Zuo didn't know what they were discussing, so she asked Zuo Feiyi anxiously, "Da Lang, what did you agree to?"
