Chapter 431
Jia Zhangshi saw Liu Hai Zhong as if she had found a lifeline.
At this moment, the people watching the excitement came out and gathered around.
Jia Zhangshi's voice became even louder.
"Eldest Sir, can you decide for me? Bang Geng took my money—how are we supposed to live?"
Liu Hai Zhong looked at Bang Geng and questioned.
"Did you take your grandmother's money?"
Bang Geng, being held by the leg by Jia Zhangshi, said angrily.
"I didn't take it—I've said it many times, I didn't take it; my grandmother must have put it somewhere else and forgotten."
Jia Zhangshi clung to his leg and wouldn't let go.
"Bang Geng, return the money to Grandma, and Grandma will give you a hundred—okay?"
"You can't take it all—you've taken everything; how are we supposed to get by?"
Liu Hai Zhong, seeing Bang Geng deny it, called out.
"Set up the table, let's investigate."
Soon his lackeys had set up the Eight Immortals table.
Liu Hai Zhong sat in the place of honor.
Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fu Gui, hearing Liu Hai Zhong's voice, also had to come out and sit at the side.
They became the two great guardians.
Liu Hai Zhong was very pleased.
Duang.
"Bang Geng, speak—did you steal the money or not?"
Bang Geng firmly denied.
"No means no."
Liu Hai Zhong looked at Jia Zhangshi.
"What evidence do you have?"
Jia Zhangshi spoke directly.
"The money is gone—if not Bang Geng, who? I'm home all day; only Bang Geng had the chance."
Liu Hai Zhong felt Jia Zhangshi made sense, and asked Bang Geng again.
"How do you prove it wasn't you who took it?"
Bang Geng was left speechless by Liu Hai Zhong's question.
Xu Damao gave a thumbs-up, awesome—Second Master really is talented.
Making someone prove they didn't commit a crime—what a genius idea.
Liu Guang Qi was so embarrassed he covered his face.
Liu Guangtian and his brother also felt humiliated.
Bang Geng couldn't think of a solution and said anxiously.
"I say I didn't take it—I didn't take it."
"If we're not being reasonable, then let's all stop being reasonable."
Liu Hai Zhong felt he had cracked the case.
"Ha, since you can't prove otherwise, you must have stolen the money."
"Get a few people to go search the Jia Family house and see where the money is hidden!"
The few people following Liu Hai Zhong immediately understood his meaning.
Now they have experience raiding homes—sure to reap a bountiful harvest.
Hearing Liu Hai Zhong's words, they immediately came out.
The bystanders weren't fools either; hearing this, they were stunned for a moment and then understood.
"Is Liu Hai Zhong stupid? He's sharper than a monkey—he's planning to raid the house."
"Everyone knows Jia Zhangshi has money—raid this family and we'll get rich, right?"
"So they were waiting here for that."
Xu Damao gave a thumbs-up, this time sincerely.
"So the Eldest Sir was actually looking to make a fortune from this."
Seeing these people, Jia Zhangshi immediately realized—this damn lot wants to rob her.
"No way—he grabbed Bang Geng and tried to head home."
"I must have misremembered, I must have misremembered—never mind, never mind."
Liu Hai Zhong slapped the table.
"You say you stole it—then you stole it; you say you didn't—then you didn't?"
"Whose word do we follow—yours or mine?"
"Search—keep searching for me."
Those few people were excited beyond measure.
"This is practically the opportunity to get rich—how could we let Jia Zhangshi ruin it?"
A few people pushed Jia Zhangshi aside and tried to go in.
Jia Zhangshi was nearly knocked over by that shove.
She grabbed Bang Geng in one hand and said angrily.
"What are you still standing here for? They're stealing our family's money."
Bang Geng heard someone stealing his family's money—how could that be allowed?
He's stealing his own—it's all his family's. You taking it? That's not allowed.
He rushed into the house, grabbed a knife, and shouted.
"I'll see who dares— the young master will fight him to the death."
A half-grown lad, knife in hand, glared at them angrily; they were frightened and didn't dare move.
Liu Hai Zhong never expected Bang Geng to dare brandish a knife.
"Insolent! Bang Geng, you want to rebel? Put the knife down!"
Bang Geng yelled.
"I won't put it down—whoever dares enter my house, today I'll chop him to death."
Jia Zhangshi felt relieved and shouted.
"Nothing's missing, nothing's missing—I was just talking nonsense."
Liu Hai Zhong felt regret.
"Jia Zhangshi, you dare frame Bang Geng? Grab her, you lot—what kind of conduct is this? It's a crime."
"We'll teach her a lesson for a few days, until she realizes her error."
This is to first get Jia Zhangshi out of the way.
Hearing this, Jia Zhangshi rushed inside and locked the door with a clatter.
He looked like a rascal.
"He still dares to resist arrest? Tear down her door!"
"This sort of wicked practice must be wiped out."
Yi Zhonghai felt it was about enough.
"Eldest uncle, that's enough—this is ultimately a family matter, don't escalate it."
But it's not out of kindness; it's because he doesn't want Liu Hai Zhong to run amok. This time Jia Zhangshi is unlucky—who can guarantee the next victim won't be oneself?
Many people shared Yi Zhonghai's view; as soon as he spoke, they immediately gave him their support.
"Right, Er Da Ye is right—this is someone else's family affair; bringing it up is overstepping."
"I think we should just leave it at that; we all know what kind of person Jia Zhangshi is."
"Forget it, forget it."
Seeing that everyone in the compound said that, San Da Ye, by not speaking, seemed out of place.
"Er Da Ye, how is this 'bringing it to the higher authorities'?"
"We, the eldest uncle, are acting out of a sense of responsibility to heal and save people."
"It's that everyone failed to understand the eldest uncle's painstaking efforts."
Just now, because of Yi Zhonghai's words, Liu Hai Zhong couldn't back down; hearing San Da Ye's words, tears welled in his eyes.
"It's still San Da Ye who understands me."
"Right, we're just here to heal and save people."
Meanwhile, San Da Ye's tone shifted.
"However, we all know Jia Zhangshi's character—it can't be changed."
"So I think we should just let it be; for such a person, there's no need to waste our manpower and resources."
Liu Hai Zhong didn't expect San Da Ye to give him an out here.
He could only take the offered way out.
"Alright, this time we'll spare Jia Zhangshi; next time we'll definitely not spare him."
Jia Zhangshi, behind the door, let out a sigh of relief.
Liu Hai Zhong, that bastard, actually dared to steal her things.
She felt a surge of fear.
The matter ended, and people began to leave one after another.
Behind the door, Bang Geng finally understood what had just been said.
Thus, he also came to hate Liu Hai Zhong.
Having heard that Liu Hai Zhong is rich, that all belongs to the young master; the young master will gradually take it back.
Liu Hai Zhong still doesn't realize he has offended a great thief.
Liu Guangtian watched from behind, saying nothing; he really hadn't expected Liu Hai Zhong to become like this.
His little companions at the time also let him take the lead, but Liu Guangtian remembered Chen Hong and Yang Qing's words and didn't join this game.
It's fortunate he didn't join—look what those people have become.
Take another look at himself.
She's fine; at most she goes out to buy stamps. Elder Brother Qing said, the more special the times, the more valuable the issued stamps.
So whenever there are new stamps, he goes to buy a few editions.
Now he has already stockpiled some.
All bought with the little money he has left from his living expenses.
He doesn't hope to earn much money; he just treats this matter as a spiritual comfort.
