Chapter 136: Kill and Be Killed

VIP chapter content,

Li Shuci clenched the paper in her hand tightly, and a cold light shot out of her eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Qingge took it and opened it, and his face changed: "How come!"

"If I hadn't asked the Confucian prince to help me in advance, my father and mother would have ...... at this time" Li Shuci gritted his teeth and said: "How dare she!"

"Who is the girl talking about?" Qingge was afraid in her heart, if the girl hadn't thought of it in advance, what she received now was the news that Li Weiqing and his wife were killed by robbers on the road. "It's from the Shen family?"

Li Shuci shook his head, "No, the Shen family won't be so stupid and startle the snake at this time." With the importance that the monarch attaches to his father, if he continues to investigate, the Shen family is very likely to be burned. They won't take that risk until everything is laid out. She thought of Zhou's actions and said: "Zhou's recent frequent sale of dowry private property, I have always been unaware of why, it turns out that she is buying murder!"

"Zhou's anxious want to save Li Zheng, but Aunt Shen's grandmother and grandfather refuse to see her now, she has no way to ask for help, and she hates our three rooms to the core. Li Weicheng is now gone, and all his personal wealth has been taken away by the Lan family, and it seems that the Zhou family has been forced into a corner. Qingge said, "Girl, what should we do?"

Li Shuci said fiercely: "Since she has murderous intentions, she must always be ready to be killed!"

Yanagi came back from outside and entered his room lightly, An Qirong's voice came from behind, "Where have you been?" An Qirong looked at her with a gloomy face. Liu Zhi steadied, turned around and said with a smile: "Girl, you scared the slave maid......"

"Where have you been?" An Qirong asked again.

Liu Zhi said: "Recently, I always have abdominal pain, and the slave maid is not good at always going to trouble the doctor who is sitting in the house, so I went outside to grab a few pairs of medicines, and the girl was still asleep in the morning, so the slave and maid did not dare to disturb." Liu Zhi lifted the medicine bag and showed it to An Qirong, An Qirong's face was a little better, and said, "Since you are uncomfortable, let's rest first." Let's go back to Qindu Mansion in a few days. We'll be packing up our things in the next few days. ”

Yanagi looked at An Qirong's departing back, gritted her teeth, and the things in her sleeve pockets seemed to be glowing hot, burning her arm. She clutched the contents of her sleeve pockets tightly and said, "I don't want to go back with you and be ridiculed by those little hooves." She worked hard to get to go to Beijing with An Qirong, and she didn't plan to go back!

The days in April are unpredictable, sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny.

At this time, the black clouds were low above the capital, and suddenly a few light rains drifted, and the air was gloomy and dull.

Zhu Xiuyuan was dressed in a rouge goose yellow piping Shu brocade gown, tied with a brown gold silk belt, and several other objects such as a jade pendant purse hanging from his waist, with the texture of a pair of earthen buns that exploded overnight. This has a bit of delicate appearance, but it is all ruined on a frivolous bone. A folding fan shook the mountain in his hand, and Hang Erlang entered the Zhilan embroidery workshop, the folding fan snapped in his hand, picked up the chin of a bewitching girl, and asked with his eyebrows: "Where is my sister?"

The girl had long been accustomed to seeing him like this, and she was not timid, and shook her handkerchief and glanced at him: "If you fall in love with the little girl and me, you will prepare a dowry and marry someone home, why bother to be such a gluttonous appearance!" She snorted lightly and said, "The master is in his room, and he hasn't come out for a day, I don't know why." After speaking, he twisted his thin waist and walked away.

Zhu Xiuyuan was not surprised, humming a little song and shaking into Zhu Hanying's courtyard step by step, and shouted with an open voice: "Sister, sister, I'm here!"

Zhu Hanying pulled open the door and walked out, frowning, "What are you doing again?" You don't do anything every day, and you beg me for money all day long, how can I have so much silver for you to squander?" She has been so strong and calculating all her life, otherwise even if Shen Wenhan is behind her back, she would not be able to run such a big embroidery workshop. But her younger brothers and sisters are diametrically opposed to her, Zhu Xiuyuan eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and does everything, but he doesn't do business. I wish Xiaoyue to be cowardly and weak. The two of them couldn't help her with anything, and Zhu Xiuyuan actually did something to get rid of her......

Zhu Xiuyuan licked his face and said, "Sister, how can you have no money for such a big deal in your hands! I'm your own brother, you can't ignore me!"

Zhu Hanying's mood today was already very bad, and she was furious when she heard this, "I am a woman's family, is it easy to run this business? You come to ask for silver at two ends in three days, and my silver is blown by the wind? Let me tell you, from today onwards, you don't want to take away a copper plate from me!" No matter how famous the Zhilan Embroidery Workshop is, it is only a third-class sect. What's more, she is a woman, and only she knows how difficult it has been over the years.

As soon as Zhu Xiuyuan heard this, he immediately exploded and shouted: "Why are you not easy, don't think I don't know, you have become a big official! The business has been done to the lady in the palace! Can there be no silver? Without silver, just sell and laugh with your old looks! It's not that you haven't done an outer room for others! You are over forty years old, and you are still reserved!"

Zhu Han's heroic face turned pale, and he trembled and pointed at Zhu Xiuyuan, unable to say a word. Zhu Xiuyuan glared and said, "I don't care." If you don't give me money, I'll have to give Xiao Yue to others as a concubine!

"What are you talking about?!" Zhu Hanying couldn't believe that Xiaoyue was brought up by her since she was a child, and she said that she was a younger sister, but in fact, she was the same as her daughter. She couldn't watch Satsuki have an accident. Said: "You sold Xiaoyue, you bastard......

"Yesterday was not good, the one in the gambling house didn't know what's wrong, he got credit on weekdays, but yesterday he had to force me to settle the silver, I lost all my money, where is the silver for them, they said to take Xiaoyue to settle the account first, and then redeem the deed of sale when there is silver. Didn't I just ask you for silver!" Zhu Xiuyuan said nonchalantly.

Zhu Hanying was already pale, covering her heart and vomiting a mouthful of blood. Zhu Xiu was also startled when he saw this scene, and said, "I'...... I'm not a heart...... If I don't agree, they'll chop off my hand......"

"You...... How much money do you owe?"

"Three...... Three thousand taels ...... "Zhu Xiuyuan doesn't have much confidence, although his luck on weekdays is also very stinky, but he has never lost so much once, and he was a little confused for a while." The fierce and vicious appearance of that group of people, he directly admitted it.

With the eyes of a large number of embroiderers, he came out of the Zhilan Embroidery Workshop, holding three thousand taels of silver tickets, and Zhu Xiuyuan had confidence again. Hmph, he also said that without silver, he could take out so much money at once! He asked privately a few times, but he couldn't ask who his sister's good friend was! He blocked a few times and didn't block anyone...... Forget it, don't want to. With the silver, he thought of the jade fairy beauty of the Baihua Palace again, hey! That little appearance, the face can pinch out the water, since the little jade fairy came out, he has not been less to cheer, he likes her delicate and meticulous the most, he threw an unknown amount of silver on her, and he thought about it when he didn't see her for a few days......

After repaying Xiao Yue's deed money, there are still 1,000 taels left! Why don't you go to Xiao Yuxian? Zhu Xiuyuan was very proud, and swaggered towards the Qianjin Gambling House, or ...... Turning the corner of the street, Leng Buding was dragged into an alley, and the two of them covered their heads and faces, and without saying a word, they came up and greeted him, and he only felt that the bones in his whole body were about to be chiseled by the other party. He screamed: "Hero, big brother, I have something to say!"

"Take out the money you have!" said the masked man in a sullen voice, "Otherwise...... Hmph, I won't kill you, I'll chop your life, feed the dogs!"

Zhu Xiuyuan heard that he wanted to struggle for silver, but when he heard the back, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and tremblingly took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from his body, and said: "Hero, hero, let me go!" Another masked man kicked him hard, and said: "I still want to deceive our brothers, I think it is better to take the silver and chop him up and feed it to the dog!" When Zhu Xiuyuan heard this, he didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly took out the remaining silver ticket, "The hero spares his life, ......spares his life!" It's all here, it's gone!

The two masked men looked at each other, held the silver ticket in their arms, kicked him into the corner, and said, "Tell me something that you don't have! This cost money, and next time you will die!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned. What? And next time?"Hero, the villain has never sinned against you, you adults have a lot of don't come to me again!"

The masked man smiled and said: "Our brother is not aimed at you, I heard that you have a sister who has a backer behind her, and now the business is doing well, and there is a small treasury, but unfortunately, it is tightly hidden." We have no choice but to make a detour and come to ask you for silver!" Zhu Xiuyuan's nose and face were swollen, he got up from the ground, and he didn't care about the pain in his body, he thought about the masked man's words in a daze, and muttered, "Little Treasury?"

Zhu Hanying cried alone, she didn't know what she had done in her previous life, and she was such a brother. Whether her life is good or not is only known to herself. If she didn't have that marriage certificate in her hand, she didn't know what mess she was living in. She hid her things so hard that no one could find them.

Zhu Xiuyuan turned around and ran back to the Zhilan embroidery workshop. Zhu Hanying had just finished trimming, and when he saw that Zhu Xiuyuan was actually back, he hadn't seen anyone clearly.

Zhu Xiuyuan grinned and went to the ground, covered in scars, and the soles of Zhu Hanying's feet were weak in fright, "Ah Yuan?"

"Sister, sister, sister, ......" Zhu Xiuyuan grinned, although his upper pain was just some flesh wounds, far from that serious, it was just scary to look at. But when Zhu Xiuyuan heard about the 'small treasury', he moved his mind, and he cried: "Sister, did you offend someone, I was arrested as soon as I went out! That person also said that you hid something, if you don't hand it over, you will kill me next time!"

Zhu Hanying was like a lightning strike, and her face turned pale: "Hiding something?"
