Chapter 2153 Fire (2)

As soon as Fu Jingen woke up, he heard a fire on Qili Street.

Whether it is a flood or a fire, it will be a waste of money. Fu Jingen asked with a calm face: "How big is this fire and how many houses have been burned?"

The butler said: "It happened to be a strong wind yesterday, and it started late. When I found that the fire had spread and could not be extinguished, most of the shops on Qili Street were burned down, and some of the houses next to it were also implicated. The specific data and casualties have not been counted yet, but there should be a lot of them."

Fu Jingen couldn't sit still, so he went into the house to change his official uniform and hurried to the yamen.

Fu Jingen got the exact news in the morning. Last night, five houses of eighteen shops were burned, four people were burned to death, and more than 20 people were injured. In addition, it was found that the fire was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. The one who caught the fire was a incense shop on Qili Street. The person guarding the shop was drunk and the candles fell on the paper money, and he fell asleep again. Of course, this person was also burned to death by the fire.

The government will not hold the accountable even if the initiator dies, but the implicated shops ask the incense and candle shops to compensate for the losses.

Le Wei has also been following the news. After he came back from the trip, he said, "Dad, the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family and two grandsons are gone, and there are only two old people left in the family."

Lin Chengzhi shook his head and said, "We can't get money, so we can't think about it."

The shop was burned out, and the things they bought were turned into ashes. Even the iron products were burned black, and they were sold as scraps for less than a lot of money.

Le Wei said: "Dad, don't rush to open a shop and wait for a while. Let's see how the court resolves this matter first?"

Leshu said: "Do you still want the court to compensate? Not to mention not, even if there is one, it will be given to the boss instead of us tenants."

Le Wei shook his head and said, "No, Dad, I want us to rashly open a breakfast shop in other places. What if it affects other people's business and takes revenge like Kong Wu?"

Poisoning a meal may not be a serious crime after all, but this time I get a few gangsters and hooligans to harass the shop all day long and can't keep it open.

Lin Chengzhi's expression froze: "If you don't open a shop, we will have to spend all our money. Although I don't know how much money you have, I don't think it's too much."

The family had saved some money but was cheated of another 1,500 taels of silver. There was not much left to deposit the silver, and he couldn't help but struggle. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "Then slowly find a suitable shop before talking about it."

But Lu said, "Dad, Awei, please pay attention to whether anyone sells land."

Le Wei smiled bitterly and said, "If you ask what you do, we can't afford it even if someone sells it."

Lu now regrets buying this house. If he had known that he would not have bought it, he would have bought a small piece of land if he had made a purchase!

But it was hard to buy a thousand gold coins before he knew it. Lu said, "I know we can't afford it, but isn't Boyuan rich..."

Lin Chengzhi frowned and said, "Old man, this matter won't work. How can we borrow his money from Boyuan like that? Let your second sister and second brother-in-law know, and they thought we were going to cheat him of his money!"

Lu said, "Dad, where do you want to go? I mean, if you have money, you can buy a piece of land here and then rent it out. The location here is very easy to rent, and it is a waste of money to let go. It is also very good to buy a property with rent."

Leshu understood and said, "My sister-in-law wanted Boyuan to buy a land and build a shop, and we would spend money to rent his house. In this way, he could earn the rent, we would not be afraid that the shop would be taken back at any time."

This is what Lu thought.

Lin Chengzhi had concerns and said, "If you do this, your second sister and your second brother-in-law will think we are taking advantage of the situation."

"Dad, as long as we pay the rent to the second sister and second brother-in-law according to the market price, we won't think much about it. Dad, it's more cost-effective to put the money in place and buy a land store."

She never thought of cheating Boyuan, and it was not worth it to offend her second sister and second brother-in-law for the sake of those few taels of money.

Le Shu said: "Sister-in-law, how do you know that your second sister and your second brother-in-law didn't buy him a child? You may not have used up the money long ago."

Mrs. Lu said: "You go and find out if there is any land, and if there is one, then go to Boyuan to talk about it."

Lin Chengzhi looked at her and asked directly: "Boss wife, do you have any plans to talk to us so that we can have a clear mind."

Lu fell silent.

Seeing that she looked like this, Le Wei was a little anxious and said, "It's all a family. If you have any plans, just tell me. If you don't understand everything, you can help you replenish it."

Three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang, and this is not false.

Then Lu said, "I have thought about it seriously these days. Even if my second sister forgives Le Wen, she will feel a little confused after this. So I think we should have a good relationship with Boyuanchu and have more contact in the future."

Boyuan lives in Shangzhu's mansion, and as long as he continues to interact with his own family, others will be worried. Of course, the best way is to tie interests together.

Le Wei said: "I'll go inquire now. If someone wants to sell the land, I'll go find Boyuan."

This time, the merchants on Qili Street suffered heavy losses. Two companies did want to sell land. After confirming the news, Lewei went to Fu Mansion.

The concierge stopped him and refused to let him in, but when he heard that he was about to see Boyuan, he hesitated and said, "Wait a minute, I'll let someone report back to my uncle."

The master just said that they would not let them come to the door, and did not say that they would not let their contact with their uncle. If he did not report back, he would definitely be angry. Although Bo Yuan was not smart, Qingshu and the rest of the family protected the people in the mansion and respected him.

Fu Jingen knew about this at night. He smiled and said, "Buy land on Boyuan Qili Street, this is a good plan."

The butler said, "Uncle just agreed, Master, look?"

Fu Jingen called Platycodon, who was in charge of the accounting, and asked, "How much does Boyuan have to pay?"

Kikyo had already checked the accounts and said, "My wife bought a shop for her uncle on Northeast Street and bought a farm with mountains and forests in the suburbs. Now she still has 4,600 taels of silver under her name."

Fu Jingen and the butler said, "Let him buy it!"

"Do you leave it to the third elder and the others? With so much money, what if they become greedy..."

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "No, the third family of the Lin family is Zhang, who is stupid and greedy, and everyone else can get by. Especially the Lu family, he is a smart person."

As long as he and Qingshu were in good condition, the people from the third bedroom of the Lin family would not take advantage of Boyuan, and would even give him some benefits. After all, the third bedroom had already had a quarrel with them, so he could only borrow Boyuan's relationship.
