On the second day, Shopkeeper Li came to Baihua Pavilion with Yinliang as promised, intending to rescue Huzi, but unexpectedly learned that Huzi was killed, and was about to get angry and ask for an explanation, when Liu's mother appeared. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu's mother, who slowly came down from the upstairs with a yawn, didn't wake up yet.
He glanced at Shopkeeper Li with contempt in his eyes, and instructed someone to drag out the bearded corpse.
"Oh, don't blame me for being merciless, this little beast who died was not honest in the firewood room, broke free from the rope in the middle of the night, and touched our girl's room, no, he was beaten to death by the guest's men. He deserves to be lustful and undead and walk on Huangquan Road. Shopkeeper Li, it's not that I don't give you face, but I just asked for a whole corpse from the guest because of my bad words, otherwise, I would have been dragged to feed the dogs. ”
Shopkeeper Li looked at it, and a good life was gone, and immediately asked, "Mother Liu, how did you promise me yesterday." You said you wouldn't hurt him! ”
Mother Liu fiddled with the beads on her head, and looked at the shopkeeper Li with disdain, "I said that it was right to protect his life, if he stayed in the firewood room in An'an, it would be impossible to be fine, you can't blame me, it was a person with identity who killed him, just like him, he still thinks about our girl, and he deserves to be killed." ”
"You ......"
Shopkeeper Li looked at the domineering appearance of Liu's mother in front of him, and then looked at the thugs around him who were also ready to move, and knew at the moment that if he continued to make trouble, he would definitely not be able to leave, so he had to swallow this breath and ordered the two guys who came together to remove their beards.
Before they could do anything, they saw Liu's mother's eyes move, and several thugs around them stepped forward to surround them, looking fierce as if they were about to eat people.
Brushing the nails in her hand, Liu's mother spoke, "Shopkeeper Li, where is the silver tael that I said yesterday?" Did you bring it? ”
"Mother Liu, your beard is dead, do you still want money? That's not how buying and selling works. ”
"Hmph, I don't like to hear that. He didn't kill him, I said yesterday that I would hand over the money with one hand and hand over the people, but I didn't say that the living and the dead would be dead, and I have already brought it to you today, and the money will not be left, so I don't want to take him away from my Baihua Pavilion. ”
"You ......" Shopkeeper Li didn't expect Liu's mother to do this, and the two parties were at a stalemate for a while.
Just when Liu's mother ran out of patience and wanted her subordinates to grab it, an ethereal voice suddenly came from upstairs, and she saw a beautiful woman with a weak willow supporting the wind, slowly walking down.
"Mom, what's so noisy?" The woman who opens her mouth is a beautiful girl.
Dressed in white, with a cold face, no charming peach blossom eyes, not as glamorous as other top brands, and the facial features are not top-notch beauty, but the combination is breathtaking, as if just a light glance, you will be hooked by her temperament.
"Ouch, my good daughter, Mom, I'm here to deal with something, arguing with you? Come on, take these people to the backyard, and don't disturb our girl's good dreams. ”
The three or five big men stepped forward to kidnap people, and Jiao Niang shouted softly, "Wait a minute." ”
With just one sentence, the big men who kidnapped people stopped one after another, looking at Jiao Niang with an obsessive face.
Jiao Niang has long been accustomed to such eyes, only glanced coldly at the scuffling people below, and said to Liu's mother, "Mom, what is their identity, what is your identity, you can't do it for a little thing, and alarm the nobles and sisters upstairs to rest, this Baihua Pavilion has always been a place to forget worries and amusement, if you are so good, if you are used by a villain with a heart and poked out, it will be the reputation of Baihua Pavilion." ”
Mother Liu, when she heard this, her face was a little worried, yes, the Wanjiaofang opposite is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
It's all to blame for these people, they came to find bad luck in the morning, and Liu's mother was about to have a seizure, so she was taken upstairs by Jiao Niang.
As he walked, he said, "Mom, I've composed a new tune recently, you can help me listen to it, if there is anything to change, as for these people downstairs, send them away." Stay here, and those on the other side will have a handle. ”
What Jiao Niang said was that Mother Liu waved her hand and let a few people leave.
The guy who removed his beard had already gone out, but the soul of Shopkeeper Li seemed to have been lost in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
It turned out that this lady turned out to be ......
Listening to Shopkeeper Li's slow narration, Mu Yi and the others understood a little, it turned out that this Shopkeeper Li couldn't escape this beauty in the end.
Miaoren is very sad, for so many years, my father has always wanted to help Shopkeeper Li re-establish a daughter-in-law, take good care of him, and not do his best to help the Jia family over the years, but he did such a thing, so he asked heartbrokenly.
"Shopkeeper Li, you want to find someone who knows the cold and the hot, I think my father is also happy, but why don't you say anything and embezzle all the money from the bank?"
Shopkeeper Li knew that he had made a big mistake, so he didn't dare to quibble, so he could only bow his head and cry.
"The lord treats me kindly, I didn't want to do this, but, if not, I can't redeem Jiao Niang at all, besides, Jiao Niang is no one else, she is my sister who was separated back then!"
"What? Younger sister? "Baolin is a little stunned now, Jiao Niang is the sister of Shopkeeper Li?
"Tell me about it." Mu Nuo looked at Shopkeeper Li with a serious face.
Shopkeeper Li didn't want people to know, but it seemed that he couldn't hide it, so he could only tell the secret that had been hidden for many years.
"Back then, in order to avoid the enemy's family, a family of four escaped from Yidu, and encountered a killer on the way, I hid my sister in a pile of dry grass in a broken temple, and then led the killer away with my parents. By the time we finally got rid of the killer and turned back again, my sister was gone. It's a pity that she is still a 6-year-old girl, and she has been separated from us for a long time. Over the years, I have been looking for her, especially after returning to Yidu, but there is no news. If it weren't for the cinnabar mole in the center of her eyebrows, I wouldn't have imagined that my sister had become the top brand of Baihua Pavilion. So, in order to save my sister out, I had to make this decision. ”
"Shopkeeper Li, since she is a younger sister, you just need to tell your father, I think he will be the master to help you rescue it, why ......"
"I also thought about looking for the master, but when I repaired a book and returned to Qucheng, the reply was only two words, no. And the sister's ...... Then Liu's mother was in a hurry to sell her sister, so I could only ...... It's me who I'm sorry for the master, and I'm willing to bear all the blame, I just ask the young lady to let go of my sister, and I will repay the old man and the young lady when I am a cow and a horse in the next life. ”
"Wait, you said you were going to fix a book?"
"yes."
"But my father has never received it, and if he had, he wouldn't have sent me here."
"......"
From the conversation between Shopkeeper Li and Miaoren, Mu Yi heard that he was tired, either Shopkeeper Li was a thief and lying, or the Jia family had an internal ghost, no matter which one it was, it was not a good thing.
For now, I can only appease Shopkeeper Li, and then start investigating the truth of the matter.
Thinking of this, Mu Yi and Bao Lin looked at each other, and Bao Lin immediately understood what she meant, stepped forward a few steps, helped up the shopkeeper Li, and said some comforting words in his mouth.
"Today's incident is all because Baolin failed to investigate clearly, I never thought that Shopkeeper Li would have such an unspeakable secret, it was Baolin who was abrupt, and I hope that Shopkeeper Li is not strange."
Shopkeeper Li has been kneeling for a long time, and he is a little unsteady, but listening to Baolin's words, he understands like a human spirit in his heart, so he can only politely say, "This young master is polite."
Mu Yi saw that there was an explanation for the matter, and he didn't ask much else, only asked how many silver taels the ransom girl wanted.
Shopkeeper Li was a little weak-hearted, so he could only answer weakly.
"One hundred thousand...... One hundred thousand taels. ”
"One hundred thousand? Is it just the price of ransom? ”
"Well, so, the cash flow that can be used in the bank has been wiped out by my accounting." Shopkeeper Li, who spoke, said with a pale face.
After listening to the story of Shopkeeper Li, Miaoren was already moved, plus their Jia family has a big business, and 100,000 taels is just a drop in the bucket, so naturally they don't care much, but are more worried about the situation of Shopkeeper Li and Jiao Niang.
"Uncle Li, Jiao Niang...... No, what should I call a lady? ”
"The name of my sister's boudoir is Shuya."
"Well, what are you going to do in the future?"
"I want to take my sister away, go to a place where no one knows her, and then help her find a good family, she has suffered enough in the first half of her life, if she doesn't compensate her well and take care of her in the second half of her life, I will die in the future, and I will not have the face to go down to see my father."
Mu Yi was also sincere when he heard this, so he also expressed his own opinion.
"You were born in peace, after this period of limelight, when Yidu's new top card comes out, people will naturally forget about the past. As for the money you ransom Shuya, have you thought about how to pay it back? After all, no one's money fell from the sky. ”
"If Miss can trust me, I will come back after I have settled my sister. When the time comes, what will happen to the official, Li Ji has no words. After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed heavily.
Miaoren looked distressed and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mu Yi.
"Okay, you go home first, wait a few days, we will have our own arrangements, but during this time, I hope that Shopkeeper Li will not go out casually, if it is ......"
"Don't worry, this young lady, Li Ji will be safe."
It's effortless to talk to smart people, and Mu Yi and Li Ji are both smart people.
