2037
Meina next to her brought a bowl of water. Li Ming took a sip of water first, moistened his throat, and then slowly talked about the whole story.
This incident started a month ago. A month ago, a businessman named Madick said he was coming to buy their workshop.
Although the price given by Madik is not low, the other party paid 50,000 gold coins to buy the workshop and the entire set of crafts. It is of course a high price to buy a workshop at this price, but then again.
Workshops are very different from workshops. Li Ming's workshop was built by Zhang Cheng's craftsmanship. Their workshops earn hundreds of thousands of gold coins every year. With such a huge profit, of course, they would not sell the workshop for just 50,000 gold coins.
Without thinking too much, Li Ming refused to give up the other party's offer to purchase.
In Li Ming's opinion, this matter is not a big deal. After all, everyone is in business, and doing business requires both your affection and mutual willingness. It is normal that there is no big deal.
Although Li Ming was just a farmer before, after Zhang Cheng's repeated teachings and many years of business, he can be regarded as a qualified businessman. Although he is not so smart, he also has his own business practices.
For Li Ming, selling the workshop will suffer a loss, and Li Ming is of course unwilling to sell it.
Before, Madick came to find Li Ming again, but this time he came to find Li Ming was completely different from the last time.
I used to ask Li Ming to do business, but this time I came to find Li Ming, but I seemed aggressive.
Moreover, there were many guards around Madick. Any of these guards was stronger than Old Tommy. Just this strength made Old Tommy feel scared on the spot.
Madick also explained that he was his backer, and his backer was Baron Capson.
Baron Capson is undoubtedly a nobleman, and a nobleman with a little strength. If it is in Fire Dragon City, a nobleman like Baron Capson is of course nothing, but in a small city like Maple Leaf City, a baron has great power.
I don’t know what the way to let the Baron know that Li Ming’s workshop is very profitable, so Baron Capson wanted to spend money to buy the workshop. For Baron Capson, this workshop is a chicken that can lay golden eggs, and of course he has no reason to let it go.
Baron Capson also knew that Li Ming had a magician son, but this magician son had been missing for several months because he was going to Fire Dragon City. Given the danger of this world, Baron Capson believed that Zhang Cheng was dead outside.
In this way, Li Ming lost his greatest backer, so Baron Capson thought about attacking Li Ming and buying Li Ming's workshop.
It was not that Baron Capson had thought about the other methods, but if he could do things well by spending only some gold coins, then he wouldn't mind spending tens of thousands more gold coins.
In Baron Capson's opinion, buying the other party's workshop with tens of thousands of gold coins was already a great kindness for the other party.
But Baron Capson did not expect that Li Ming would not sell his workshop at all. This disappointed Baron Capson and was also very angry.
However, there are too many people watching Li Ming's business, so Baron Capson is not good at taking action casually.
It is not easy to take action casually, but it does not mean that you cannot take action. A nobleman still has many ways to deal with an ordinary old couple.
Of course, it is the best thing to buy the workshop without any trouble.
So Baron Capson still sent Madick to buy the workshop, and this time it was no longer a hiding place.
However, Madick's behavior aroused some of the anger in Li Ming's heart.
The angry Li Ming once again rejected the other party's idea of buying a workshop and told the other party that the workshop belongs to his son, and that unless his son wants to sell the workshop, his workshop will not be sold.
Li Ming's refusal also angered Baron Capson. The furious Baron Capson no longer cared about the attention of other forces and began to attack secretly.
Baron Capson's methods are simple, but they are also very effective.
He directly added poison to Li Ming's workshop, making the food produced in the workshop have toxins. After eating these foods, the eaters will have diarrhea at the least, and in severe cases, it will cause various complications in the body.
Although Li Ming's workshop also has guards, it is okay to guard ordinary little thieves. Facing those powerful thieves, there is no way to do anything.
Baron Capson spent a lot of money and hired a powerful thief. Without realizing it, he entered the workshop to add toxins.
In this way, the foods sold by Li Ming not only taste bad, but also are poisonous.
Especially toxic, this is illegal.
The sheriff of Maple Leaf City arrested Li Ming and imprisoned him in prison. He didn't have to find any reason. Just one of them was enough to poison the food.
Li Ming was arrested and his family was in chaos. At this time, Baron Capson sent Madick again to let Madick be a lobbyist.
Madick proposed that it would be impossible to let Li Ming go. The first is to close the workshop and then transfer the workshop to Baron Capson. The second is to confiscate their illegal income and take away all the valuable things in the family.
If you agree, you will lose money, but your life can be saved.
Mena hesitated for a while and agreed.
Zhang Cheng probably knew everything about the rest. His family's funds and workshops were obtained by Baron Capson, and Li Ming was also released from prison.
Li, who was released, was obviously weak and had many injuries on his body.
Li Ming is also well-known in the local area, so when Zhang Cheng arrived at East Street, he just asked a few passers-by and found where Li Ming lives now.
When Zhang Cheng arrived outside the door of Li Ming’s current residence, he saw the simple and dilapidated house in front of him. Both Zhang Cheng and Xiao Tommy’s eyes turned red.
Li Ming originally lived in a big house bought by Zhang Cheng, but now he lives in the worst house in the slums. Not to mention that the surrounding environment is very bad, the conditions of the house itself are also very bad. If such a house is in a strong wind and rainy weather, he will doubt whether it will collapse.
"Master Zhang Cheng?Master Zhang Cheng, you are back." As soon as the door opened, a middle-aged man happened to come out and saw Zhang Cheng and little Tommy at a glance.
Zhang Cheng also recognized the identity of the person who came here, who was Little Tommy's father, Old Tommy.
Zhang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Tommy, we are back."
Old Tommy looked at Zhang Cheng and Little Tommy, her eyes were filled with joy, and she said happily: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back. You've been out for so long, but it's bad for us."
Little Tommy opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything.
Zhang Chengze asked quickly: "Uncle Tommy, are you okay?"
Old Tommy smiled and said calmly: "We are all fine. Master Zhang Cheng doesn't have to be careful. By the way, Master Li Ming is still inside. Come in quickly. If Master Li Ming knows that you are back, you will definitely be very happy."
Zhang Chengdiandian hurriedly walked into the house.
As soon as I entered the room, a faint smell of musty and odor rushed into my nose.
Zhang Cheng knew that it was not that Old Tommy and the others did not clean the house, but that the old house here was like this. It was moldy and smelly. Even if you clean it every day, it would be useless, unless the house was demolished and rebuilt.
So this odor is inevitable.
Zhang Cheng did not respond to the smell in the room at all, but rushed in quickly.
There are only two bedrooms in the room, one for Old Tommy's family to live, and the other for Li Ming and Mena.
Because there are only two rooms, Zhang Cheng easily identified Li Ming's bedroom.
Zhang Cheng rushed into the bedroom and soon saw Li Ming, who was bedridden and Meina sitting beside the bed.
The noise of Zhang Cheng entering the room was too loud, and Li Ming and Mei Na immediately turned to look at Zhang Cheng.
When the two of them saw clearly that the person who came in was Zhang Cheng, they were all shocked.
"Zhang Cheng, are you back?"
Zhang Cheng walked to the bed, grabbed Li Ming's hand gently, and said, "Uncle Li Ming, I'm back."
Li Ming and Mena's eyes suddenly turned red and tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Li Ming said with relief: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back."
Both Li Ming and his wife have no children. Since adopting Zhang Cheng, they have treated Zhang Cheng as their son.
Li Ming and his wife were so happy that Zhang Cheng could come back safely.
"Uncle Li Ming, let me see your injuries." While Zhang Cheng was speaking, his mental power had already spread to Li Mingshi, and he turned around on Li Ming. Zhang Cheng knew about the injuries on Li Ming.
Li Ming had dozens of injuries of all sizes and sizes, the biggest of which came from three broken ribs on his chest.
The rest of the injuries on the body were not too serious.
Li Ming's injuries have been treated and treated, but without the use of magical power for treatment, it is impossible for Li Ming's injuries to be cured without two or three months.
As for why you don’t use magic power for healing, you just need to see what this home looks like now.
After Zhang Cheng checked Li Ming's injuries, his heart moved. The Holy Light Angel Angel immediately appeared from behind Zhang Cheng. Angela gently slapped, and a white holy light fell on Li Ming's body. Under the bath of the Holy Light, Li Ming's expression immediately soothed. Li Ming also closed his eyes intoxicatedly, looking very comfortable.
And the real situation is indeed the case. With the healing of the holy light displayed by Angela, Li Ming feels very comfortable and great now.
After only two minutes of treatment, Angela returned to Zhang Cheng again.
Li Ming opened his eyes and looked at his body in disbelief. No one knew better than him how his body felt now. He felt great. His body didn't feel any pain at all, but was full of energy.
"My body and my injuries have healed?" Li Ming said in disbelief.
Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Yes Uncle Li Ming, all your injuries have been cured. You can now come down and move your body."
Li Ming sat up from the bed and tried to move his hands and feet. Sure enough, there was no pain at all, no unnatural.
After confirming that he was really fine, Li Ming immediately got off the bed. He had been lying on the bed for a long time, and his bones were itchy. Now he was back to normal. Of course, he had to come down and move his body immediately.
As it turns out, Zhang Cheng is right, Li Ming's injuries were really healed.
Mena next to her was so excited that she couldn't speak.
Li Ming is much better in terms of mentality than Mei Na. Li Ming just moved his body for a while, then put away his extremely excited mood, sat next to Zhang Cheng, and asked about Zhang Cheng’s experience during this period.
Zhang Cheng was also worried that it would scare them, so he told Tommy before he came back. They didn’t need to tell the truth, but they just said that they had stabilized in Fire Dragon City, and had houses and stores. This time, they came back to pick up Li Ming and Old Tommy to enjoy their fortunes.
After talking about his own experience, Zhang Cheng changed his mind and asked what happened to Li Ming and the others.
Li was obviously hesitant.
Zhang Cheng shook his head and said, "Uncle Li Ming, I have to care about this matter whether you say it or not. If you don't say it, I just have to trouble you and ask others. Just do that, the information I get may be inaccurate and will be detrimental to me."
Li Ming smiled bitterly and said, "You have to say everything you have to say, I don't want to say it."
This time the injury was not serious, but after Li Ming knew that after spending all the money in his family for himself, he was furious and went to argue with the other party. However, he had not even seen Baron Capson once, so he was rejected.
Not only was he refused to meet, Li Ming was also beaten. This time he was beaten more severely, and his ribs were broken for several days.
The family was out of money and injured. If it weren't for the fact that Old Tommy had never left her or continued to take care of them, they wouldn't know what would happen in the future.
After hearing the whole story, Zhang Cheng was even more grateful to the Tommy family, but hated Baron Capson to the core.
Zhang Cheng also secretly swore in his heart that he would return all this to Baron Capson and let him taste the feeling of being bullied.
