Shen Xi untied the blindfold of Miss Li's family, followed by the rope on her body. She didn't move the whole time, like a puppet.

When Shen Xi stood back in his original position, Miss Li Er looked at him intently, with a complicated expression, as if she was looking at an enemy or a lover.

Here and now, from a high-ranking daughter to a slave who can be slaughtered, when she saw Shen Xi when she was most down, she was extremely conflicted.

Shen Xi felt that he should say something, and sighed lightly: "Miss Li, don't come unharmed?" ”

"Master Shen thinks that the little woman is okay?"

Miss Li Er finally lowered her head, tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and she wanted to reach out to wipe it, but due to the long-term binding of her body, she didn't have the strength to raise her hand at all.

Shen Xi said: "I only heard about the affairs of the Li family after returning to Beijing, and I can only express regret about it...... In fact, the high squire has a bad official reputation, and when he was the governor of Henan, he was corrupt and impeached. You should not have gotten so close to his family that you would cause trouble. ”

Miss Li cried: "Without the support of powerful people in the capital, any business will not go well, and sooner or later it will be a ruined family." We originally wanted to climb to the Shouning Marquis Mansion through Gao Shilang, but unfortunately in the end we fell short. ”

Shen Xi was finally relieved.

To say that Miss Li is quite thoughtful about this matter, in such an official-based society, with the wealth coveted by others but not enough power to protect it, it will collapse at any time.

The Li family is like this, and so is the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce!

"What are Miss Li's plans for the future?" Shen Xi asked.

Miss Li finally regained some strength at this time, reluctantly raised her hand to wipe her tears, and then tidied up the shabby cloth clothes a little, and then said: "The little woman is now owned by Lord Shen, and she doesn't dare to have any more delusions...... The little woman resigned herself to her fate. ”

Shen Xi was silent for a while before he said, "Miss Li is now a guilty person, and she may not return to her original identity for the rest of her life, so I will find a courtyard to settle you down...... After you get the household registration guide, whether you stay, or take refuge with relatives and friends, I will not stop you, and even send you to entangle, which can be regarded as my benevolence and righteousness! ”

Miss Li hesitated for a moment, suddenly got off the bed, leaned forward with her feet in straw sandals, and suddenly fell to her knees on the ground, kowtowing to Shen Xi.

After three rings, Miss Li straightened up and looked at Shen Xi, her eyes were obviously full of pleading, but she didn't say anything.

Shen Xi knew that Miss Li wanted to beg him to help the Li family and resolve the current crisis.

But Shen Xi asked himself if he had this ability.

The fall of the Li family lies in the fact that they chose the wrong investment object.

The Li family wants to approach the Shouning Marquis Mansion through Gaoming City, but the Shouning Marquis Mansion only values the wealth of the Li family, and the benefits brought by the confiscation of the Li family are far more direct than slowly waiting for people to be filial, so it is better to come simply, no matter if 3721 takes it, then all the wealth of the Li family will be obtained by Shouning Hou, and it only needs to be transferred to the emperor to share the profits.

Miss Li's real enemy should be Shou Ninghou. But Shen Xi asked himself if there was no way to deal with his relatives, the Zhang brothers, so he could only remain silent.

"Get up, come with me!"

Shen Xi didn't give Miss Li any unrealistic promises, on the one hand, the relatives of the Zhang brothers are almost invincible now, and helping the Li family will do him all kinds of harm and no benefit, and on the other hand, even if the Li family comes back to life? Is it just in exchange for Miss Li's gratitude?

But now that the people are all owned by him, and he can dispose of them as he pleases, even if he sells them as goods, what is the use of such gratitude?

Shen Xi pushed open the door, Peng Yu almost fell to the ground, it turned out that he didn't hear a sound next door, so he ran out and leaned in front of the door to eavesdrop.

"Lord Shen, so fast...... Just come out? ”

Peng Yu'er glanced into the room and found that Miss Li's clothes were still intact, so she immediately lost interest and asked, "Lord Shen, do you need help?" ”

Shen Xi arched his hand: "Brother Peng, it's okay to send people here, you just have to take people away, and the rest of the matter will be handled by the official." ”

"This ...... Some of them don't conform to the rules, and I'm afraid that the officials won't be able to make a difference when they go back. ”

Peng Yu looked very embarrassed, not that he wanted to ask for extra money, Shen Xi gave a lot of silver, the problem now is that he sent the "goods" sold to the inn, knowing that it was a thief, he didn't know where Shen Xi took the person, if something happened to him when he turned around, he might be affected, not only lose Zu Meng's official position, but even lose his head.

Shen Xi said: "Brother Peng doesn't trust this official? ”

"No, no, the lower officials have no such intentions, Lord Shen doesn't care where the lower officials want to settle the people, but ask the adults to give a word, whether to send the people away, or stay in the capital to settle a place to raise? Or just take it home and be a maid...... After the official went back, it was easy to make a difference. Peng Yu asked nervously.

Shen Xi knew that Peng Yu, a sesame petty official from Jiupin, was in essence just an intermediary, if he was not good at paying to the seller, then it would not be so easy to take orders if he had this kind of job of buying and selling people in the future.

Shen Xi said: "This official will send people to a secret place in the city for proper placement, Brother Peng should be satisfied now, right?" ”

"Good, good. Lord Shen must remember that her surname is not Li now, but Zhang, she is the daughter of the widow of Song next to the Mahayana Nunnery in Jinchengfang, Xicheng, she was sold to other places when she was young, and she was only recently sold back to the capital, this woman has a document...... "Peng Yu'er confessed carefully.

"Oh!? Is Widow Song's side ready? Shen Xi asked.

Peng Yuer replied: "Widow Song died in the first year, and the neighbors have only seen her daughter when she was a child. Widow Song also has a son, but he died in the border pass in the first two years, and he will never cause trouble for Lord Shen. ”

Shen Xi thought to herself, the widow and her son are dead, and they have no relatives, that is, they are out of the house, and it is very appropriate to arrange their identity to the family of the end of the family.

The Criminal Department and the Shuntianfu colluded with each other, and they were quite expert in this regard, as long as all the clues that could be found were cut off, even if someone wanted to investigate the matter, they would not be able to find out the exact evidence of the crime. It's a big deal that when the time comes, as long as Miss Li dies, the case will become an unsolved case.

"I know, when the household registration is done, remember to send it to the official, and there will be a reward at that time." Shen Xi commanded.

"Okay, okay."

Peng Yuxing was elated, he thought that Shen Xi should not embarrass him in this kind of matter, after all, if the matter came out, Yu Shen Xi's own reputation would also be damaged.

There is no sales contract, but Peng Yu still symbolically took out the deed of sale of "Miss Zhang", the contents of which are all fake, but there is indeed a person, this is the evidence that the widow of Song personally drew the charge when she sold her daughter, and left the bottom in the government.

Shen Xi put the deed of sale in his arms, so that he is the owner of "Miss Zhang", this deed of sale has no time to sign, it is a lifelong contract, then Miss Li will bear the name of Miss Zhang for the rest of her life, and she can be bought and sold by him at will, and her life and death will not be asked by the government.

Out of the door, Shen Xi asked Miss Li to get into the carriage, and then he also got in, and went in the direction of Chongwen Gate in the southeast of the city, where the flow of goods is relatively complicated, and the government will not carefully check the household registration.

Miss Li was suddenly in a relatively small space with Shen Xi, looking a little cramped and uneasy, her pretty face was crimson, and she didn't even dare to raise her head.

Shen Xi said: "Miss Li, don't be nervous, I will find a place to settle you down, and then find someone to take care of you, but you will be responsible for your own life in the future, don't try to save your family, because it is likely that the Shouning Marquis Mansion will frame your Li family, and I can only try to find a way." ”

Shen Xi knew that Miss Li was used to being pampered, and she must be restless in her heart, if she was given her freedom, she might really come to an excesses such as "suing the emperor", so in addition to settling people down, he also had to hire someone to watch her.

Looking back, in fact, it is really better to leave people in the professional training place that Peng Yu said, with a special old mother to take care of them, at least he doesn't have to worry about it, and he can "discipline" more, so that Miss Li can learn what is respect and humility, and how to obey orders.

Miss Li shook her head shyly: "The Shouning Marquis Mansion is powerful, and the concubine does not dare to act rashly, everything is up to the adult." ”

Suddenly, her self-proclaimed self-proclaimed from "little woman" to "concubine", because she knew that now her identity had changed from the original Miss Li family to Shen Xi's private house, and it was likely that she would not have a reputation for the rest of her life, and even her future son would only be an illegitimate child......

But apparently she was thinking too much, at least until now, Shen Xi didn't think about possessing her.

This is different from Shen Xi's attitude towards Yin Wen.

Shen Xi's love and pity for Yin Wenna was purely out of pity and pity, thinking that when Xiao Nizi grew up a little bit, after diluting the sadness of the family, he officially included the little girl in the room, but for Miss Li, his attitude was more like treating an old friend, and he could help as much as possible.

Even if Miss Li was a stunning beauty that Shen Xi could only look up to in her previous life, Shen Xi was not moved, feelings are very wonderful, and they can't be explained clearly in a few words.

"Haven't asked Miss Li for her name yet?"

Originally, it was not appropriate to ask the woman's name, but since Miss Li is now owned by him, he can no longer be called "Miss Li" or "Miss Zhang".

Miss Li's voice was like a gnat: "The concubine's boudoir list has a 'jin', and the 'jin' of Qingqing Zijin is the ancestor of the family." ”

Li Jin can be regarded as a poetic name.

Shen Xi nodded and said, "Qingqing Zijin is ...... in my heart."

Shen Xi read it casually, and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart, and somehow, he thought of Hui Niang again in his mind.

Shen Xi closed his mouth and said no more, lifted the curtain of the car window, looked at the scenery outside, and healed the scars in his heart.

When they arrived at Ming Shifang in the southeast of the city, Shen Xi took Li Jin out of the carriage.

Shen Xi is very familiar with this area, and now the main forces of the Che Ma Gang are distributed in the surrounding area, and if something happens, he can find someone to help as soon as possible.

Successfully found the Ya Po who was in charge of the house rental, Shen Xi rented a separate courtyard in Suzhou Hutong, and found a maid and an old mother to serve and take care of Li Jin, and also played a supervisory role.

In the future, Shen Xi can completely treat this place as an outer house, only he is willing, Li Jin is the outer room he raises, and he will only serve him alone in his life.
