10: Another twist and turn

Xie Xiaoqing and Tongtong, Cheng Li stood next to him and quickly figured out the general situation of the matter.

Speaking of which, it's actually quite old-fashioned. Zhu Zhiang and Tongtong, whose real name is Su Sanniang, are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. The two of them are from the same family, so they decided on a baby kiss early.

Originally, seeing that the two of them were about the same age, the family wanted to handle the marriage for them. But the year before last, Su Sanniang's father died of a sudden illness, so the marriage was temporarily delayed. The Su family also replaced Su Sanniang's eldest brother.

Su Sanniang's eldest brother, known as Su Dalang. Originally, he was also a famous talent. But after he failed in the imperial examination last year, he didn't know how to do it, and suddenly contracted the bad problem of gambling. came and went, not only lost all the family property, but also owed hundreds of taels of silver in gambling debts. directly the old lady to death.

A gambler who loses so quickly that he dares to do anything and doesn't care about anything. In order to pay off his gambling debts, Su Dalang actually sold his biological sister to Cuilou. Although Zhu Zhiang tried his best to stop it, he was severely beaten by the thugs of the Cui Building, and he was almost half beaten to death. Su Sanniang also fell into the dust.

In the past six months, Zhu Zhiang has been running around, trying to rescue Su Sanniang. But the power of Cuilou is extremely powerful, no matter who Zhu Zhiang entrusts to intercede, it is useless. Cuilou let out a word, unless Zhu Zhiang can come up with three thousand taels of ransom silver, he can't think of taking Su Sanniang away.

Although the Zhu family also has 200 or 300 acres of land in the countryside of Hangzhou, it is impossible to take out 3,000 taels of silver at once unless they sell all these lands. And the Zhu family will never allow Zhu Zhiang to sell all the land in his family and marry a dusty woman.

Therefore, Zhu Zhiang simply called the sky should not be, and the earth is not spiritual. It has reached the point of desperation. He and Su Sanniang are in true love, and they don't marry if they are not gentlemen, and they don't marry if they are not kings. Seeing that Su Sanniang couldn't be rescued from the fire pit, he was really desperate. I couldn't think about it for a while, so I found a broken temple and wanted to hang myself.

Just at the last moment, Xie Xiaoqing happened to pass by this dilapidated temple, rescued Zhu Zhiang, and then learned about Su Sanniang. After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Xie Xiaoqing was indignant and promised to help. Then, Xie Xiaoqing brought Cheng Li here and met Su Sanniang smoothly.

Cheng Li frowned and said, "Xiaoqing, what you did can be regarded as chivalrous and righteous. However, if you want to redeem Su Sanniang, you have to ask for three thousand taels of silver, which is not enough now. ”

Three thousand taels of silver is really a huge amount of money for ordinary people. Even ordinary small landowners in the countryside can't get so much money at once.

Xie Xiaoqing, at a glance, knows that he is by no means a rich man. Just now she was going to the pawnshop and became her own saber. If it weren't for Cheng Li's help, it would be very difficult for her to enter the Cui Lou in an open and honest manner.

But Cheng Li only lent 1,000 taels of silver to Xie Xiaoqing. Now that it's all spent, how can I redeem Su Sanniang?

Three thousand taels of silver is a lot for others, but for Cheng Li, it is not worth mentioning. With the support of the gold lord Le Dashao behind him, let alone three thousand taels, even if it is thirty thousand taels, or even three hundred thousand taels, he can take it out at any time without frowning.

But Cheng Li is rich, it is Cheng Li's own business. It doesn't necessarily mean that he has to come out with the money to help. So what exactly does Xie Xiaoqing want to do? This is what Cheng Li is really curious about.

Xie Xiaoqing pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "I have already inquired clearly." The reason why Su Dalang became addicted to gambling that day was actually a game set up by the boss behind the Cui Building. Su Dalang took the silver to pay off the gambling debt, which means that the money was poured from the left hand of Cuilou to the right hand, and after turning around, he didn't spend a penny, and he became a big beauty in vain. So why did I give them another three thousand taels? Little brother, do you think I'm so stupid?"

Cheng Li nodded, and asked again, "Then what are you going to do?"

Xie Xiaoqing smiled slyly: "Little brother, don't forget." I'm a martial arts master, and I know martial arts. Especially my light skills are even more powerful. What grass flies, what floats on water, what snow is without a trace, it's just pediatric. ”

Cheng Li suddenly said: "So you want to quietly take people to escape?"

Xie Xiaoqing clapped his palms and said, "Exactly." Su Sanniang is here, and she is under surveillance everywhere. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to take people away. But now it's candle night in her cave. No matter how unfriendly the building is, there will never be anyone outside to monitor at this time. If you do this, you will offend your guests to death. So now is the time to do it. ”

Cheng Li's jaw said, "You are thoughtful. ”

Xie Xiaoqing said proudly: "It's rude." Ah, let's not talk about that. Little brother, let's have a few drinks first. Anyway, it's an old flower carving bought back for hundreds of taels of silver, but it can't be wasted. When the wine was finished, the night was late. When the time comes, it will be more convenient to act. ”

Cheng Li laughed, walked over and sat down at the table. Su Sanniang was full of gratitude, took the initiative to come over, and poured a full glass of wine for Cheng Li. Then he poured a glass for himself, with tears in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Engong saved the slave family from the fire pit, this kindness and virtue, Sanniang has nothing to repay in this life, only a glass of wine to express a little gratitude." In the next life, the slave family must be treated as a cow and a horse, and the grass will be tied to the ring. ”

Cheng Li smiled and nodded at her, raised his wine glass, and was about to enter the entrance. Suddenly, there was another knock at the door.

Su Sanniang shuddered, and her face subconsciously turned pale. Cheng Li and Xie Xiaoqing glanced at each other, each surprised. Xie Xiaoqing immediately coughed and said in a loud voice, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and I saw the bustard mother Chunniang walk in, crying and saying with a sad face: "Two big and small officials, the slave family is very embarrassed now!"

Xie Xiaoqing raised her eyebrows and asked, "Oh, what's the embarrassing thing?"

Chun Niang sighed: "It's Tongtong." Just now, a guest came to the building and asked Tongtong to go over to accompany him immediately. ”

Xie Xiaoqing's face sank: "Chunniang, this is not in accordance with the rules, is it? Tongtong has accompanied us into the cave room, how can we leave?"

Chun Niang sighed and said helplessly: "If it is another guest, of course you have to talk about the rules." But this guest is different. ”

Xie Xiaoqing asked, "Why is it different?"

Chun Niang said: "This guest's surname is Lei. It is the Lei Hai in the Twelve Stars of the Lei Family. Our green building was opened by the Lei family. Whoever talks about the rules can't talk about the Lei family. ”

mentioned the word "Lei Hai", Cheng Li and Xie Xiaoqing just gave it up, and Su Sanniang screamed "Ah~" on the spot. Her pretty face was so bloody that she trembled, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Obviously, she not only knew this Lei Hai, but was also extremely afraid of it, and she was already afraid of it to the bone just by hearing a name.

Xie Xiaoqing pursed his lips and said, "I heard that the twelve most outstanding disciples of the Lei family's generation are collectively known as the Twelve Star Demons. Rat, ugly cow, Yinhu, Mao rabbit, Chenlong, snake, afternoon horse, Wei sheep, Shen monkey, rooster, dog, pig. This Lei Hai is at the bottom of the list?haha, it seems to be a fat and stupid fat pig. ”

The words fell. Not far from the room, an earth-shattering roar suddenly sounded, like scorching thunder on a sunny day, deafening!

"Which stinky person who killed a thousand knives dares to say that Uncle Ben is fat and stupid?
