Chapter 1326: Chapter 1125: Equally Splitting the Gambling Debt_1 Chapter 1326: Chapter 1125: Equally Splitting the Gambling Debt_1 “You still dare to talk back?!” Yu Ang became even angrier when he heard this; he threw away the shoe he was holding and kicked out with his foot, “Do you understand human relations and social etiquette?! The couple Tong Xingda took away–Xiaomai and her husband Qiao Xiaomai–will be returned!”
“Do you think everyone is like you, only seeing the small benefit right before your eyes? How disgraceful!”
“Have all the things I normally teach you gone to the dogs? Isn’t it shameful? Don’t say you’re my grandson when you go out!”
Yu Ang’s kicks were heavy, one after another landing on the body, and Yu Zizhou couldn’t bear it, a muffled grunt escaping from his throat.
He clenched his teeth tightly and didn’t make a sound anymore.
Human relations and social etiquette–he naturally understood such principles.
Before, he couldn’t stand Tong Xingda’s arrogant demeanor, so he couldn’t help but take action to teach him a lesson.
If it hadn’t been for the sudden reversal in Tong Tiehu’s situation, he would have succeeded!
Once successful, he wouldn’t have just received a hundred thousand taels, but five million taels!
But now, having failed, it was a case of the victor being king and the loser being the bandit–he accepted it.
Moreover, Yu Ang had spoken to such an extent, with so many people in the great hall, he knew he had disgraced himself.
After kicking more than a dozen times and seeing that Yu Zizhou was no longer speaking, Yu Ang finally stopped and gasped for breath. He looked towards Qiao Xiaomai and her husband Tong Tiehu, “I… I am ashamed. I ask for forgiveness from the two of you.”
Qiao Xiaomai tilted her head slightly and said, “I admire the courage of Young Master Yu, but young people should not overdo things. There are always people higher up, and one cannot get fat in a single bite.”
Objectively speaking, Yu Zizhou’s plan was very good: it would have allowed him to deal with those he disliked while making a fortune himself.
If Yu Zizhou and Wu Yancai had only scammed Tong Xingda out of a hundred thousand or even several hundred thousand, then she and Tong Tiehu would have suffered that loss.
Several hundred thousand was an amount she and Tong Tiehu could produce, and after this incident, Tong Tiehu would definitely keep Tong Xingda locked up. In doing so, it would be as if she had spent several hundred thousand to resolve the problem of Tong Xingda.
With Zhang Family already dealt with, spending another several hundred thousand to deal with Tong Xingda meant she and Tong Tiehu could live peaceful lives thereafter.
Truly, if it had only been several hundred thousand silver, she would have definitely taken it out.
But Yu Zizhou and Wu Yancai didn’t know when to stop; a few hundred thousand seemed too little to them, and they directly went for millions.
Ten million–let alone her, even if it were Yang Wenxiao’s turn, he would investigate thoroughly.
Young people have courage and drive, but they lack prudence. Hopefully, this beating will help Yu Zizhou remember this lesson.
Qiao Xiaomai’s words carried the stance of an elder, and upon hearing them, Yu Zizhou couldn’t help but grit his teeth, while a deeper shade of shame appeared on Yu Ang’s face, “You’re right, I will make sure to teach him well in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai smiled slightly, “Then I hope Young Master Yu will be better in the future. However, let’s speak frankly about the matter at hand; just now, Master Wu said that the ten million taels won by my father from the Hongxing Gambling House were acquired through cheating, so that gambling debt does not count.”
“Furthermore, according to the ‘Daqi Laws,’ both Master Wu and Young Master Yu have broken the law, and should compensate Tong Xingda according to the amount defrauded.”
At these words, Yu Ang’s complexion turned rigid, “This…”
Qiao Xiaomai spoke with a smile, “But beyond legalities there are considerations of human sentiment. Your Excellency, do not worry; we shall have to continue cooperating in the future, so we will not be asking for this compensation.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Ang breathed a long sigh of relief, and Wu Yuanxian also couldn’t help but exhale. If they had to count even this, they would be completely drained of their resources.
“However, one must separate issues clearly; Tong Xingda’s gambling debt does not count due to cheating, but Tong Tiehu’s does not have that issue. Tong Tiehu won today’s silver fair and square, so that fifty million taels is still owed.”
“Since this was done by both Master Wu and Young Master Yu together, it would be best if your two families split this fifty million. Oh no, to be precise, it should be over sixty million, shouldn’t it?”
