Chapter 20: Litigation (4)

Let's say that Li Qing was thinking wildly, but he didn't realize that it was the second half of the night, he didn't know the sun and the moon in the prison, he only faintly heard the fourth watch knocked outside, and the sky was almost dawn, just when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, suddenly, the sound of the iron door sounded, which woke him up immediately, and saw the head of the prison carrying a food box and walking in with a smile.

Li Qing's heart immediately became vigilant, he stared nervously at his every move, his fists were pinched so that his knuckles turned white, the prison head smiled gently, and the horizontal meat on his face looked a little more terrifying, he put out a few side dishes, and took out half a roast chicken and a pot of wine.

"The master said that he wouldn't give you food, but he didn't say that he wouldn't give you food and drink, this is my little meaning, come! Sit down and talk. ”

Li Qing smelled the aroma of wine and food, and his stomach screamed, and then he realized that he was almost starving to death, and he was not polite, he tore off a chicken leg and chewed it, and drank another glass of wine, and a warm and hot air surged up between his chest and abdomen, and he felt a lot better.

The prison head half-squinted, and a cold light shot out of the cracks: "Cangcao gave me twenty yuan of money, and asked me to take Li Gongzi's two legs tonight, is Li Gongzi prepared?" ”

Li Qing's face changed greatly, if they were drugged in meat and wine, wouldn't they be tricked? It only took a thought to react, no! There is no need for this, they will inevitably blame the prisoners on themselves, how can the prisoners have wine and meat, and the prison chief will not do more, please drink themselves, there must be other reasons.

"Your Excellency and I have never known each other in life, why should you treat me preferentially?"

"Good! Li Gongzi is really a smart person, and he is quick to talk, so I will say it directly," the prison head smiled mysteriously and said: "Because I also bought a lottery ticket for Li Gongzi yesterday!" ”

Li Qing suddenly realized, but he didn't understand what he wanted to say, so he just looked at him in a daze.

"Li Gongzi's method is good, gather sand into a tower, and make a profit, I think if we join forces together to make a big ticket in Yilong County, it is best for everyone to buy it, then it will make a lot of money, and I will divide you fifty percent when the time comes," he squinted at Li Qing slightly, and when he said fifty percent, an imperceptible viciousness flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "How?" Brother to do it or not? ”

When it comes to money, the title has also become a brother, Li Qing then understood, it turned out that he took a fancy to the lottery as a way to make money, so he refused to Cang Cao and treated himself preferentially, the lottery is not a big problem, he can even change it to a medium-sized one, but he doesn't know what kind of person this prison head is, so he talks about cooperation, which is too rash, he has no background, if they turn their faces, they won't suffer a big loss.

"Are you a fool to be Lao Tzu?"

Li Qing scolded secretly, he had already caught a glimpse of the prison head's mouth, but there was a trace of treachery and viciousness hidden in his eyes.

But if he doesn't agree, I'm afraid that these two legs, even his hands won't be saved, Li Qing stared at the turbid wine with white flowers in the cup, and quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind.

"It's just that I'm still in prison, how can I cooperate?"

"You don't care about this, the brother's crimes can be big or small, it's all in the hands of the master, we have our own way, you just have to say, okay or not?" The prison chief's tone was already visibly impatient.

Li Qing suddenly had a change of heart, and replied with a smile: "It's not a big problem to cooperate, just let me think about it again, I remember that there are a few more profitable lottery methods, and by the way, wouldn't it be better!" "The best way to do it today is to use the word 'drag', first drag it until dawn, it is really rare for Zhongtong not to come, so he will answer him first, Li Qing expects that Liu will not see anyone from Zhang Mansion with the wind, and he will definitely not let himself out.

The prison head was overjoyed, patted his thigh and said, "Okay! I'll wait for my brother for another half a day. ”

"What are you waiting for him to do?" Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind him.

The head of the prison turned around, and suddenly jumped up in shock, two people came outside the cell, one in front did not know, but one in the back was clearly his own food and clothing, this is the supreme administrator of Yilong County, the county commander Liu, I saw that he was respectful, bent like a big shrimp, with a frightened smile in his eyes, and that look was the same as last year when he married a concubine under the supervision of his mother.

The wine and food were knocked over by the panicked hands and feet of the prison boss, but Li Qing was overjoyed, looking forward to the stars and the moon, Xian Yu Zhongtong was finally looked forward to by him.

Xian Yu Zhongtong glanced at him meaningfully, turned back to Liu Suifeng and said, "He is indeed a person in my house, since the case has not been decided, can I bail him out?" ”

"Yes! Be! Liu Suifeng said with a smile: "The subordinates also feel that the things committed by Li Gongzi are not enough to be convicted according to the Tang law, but I just heard that he dared to call himself a person who was not in the house, so I want to find out, if he dares to pretend, his subordinates will not be spared, and now since it is true, there is no reason to detain him, and the money collected should also be returned." ”

Liu Suifeng's forehead was already sweating, Rao is he reacted very quickly, turning Li Qing's detention into maintaining the reputation of Xian Yufu, and seeing that Li Qing was treated favorably by the prison head, he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and secretly praised the prison head for his unauthorized actions.

"Why don't you go through the formalities for Li Gongzi to get out of prison!" Liu Suifeng glared at the head of the prison fiercely, and then turned to Xian Yu Zhongtong and whispered: "Now that the misunderstanding has been clarified, Li Gongzi can go out, the air in this prison is dirty, and it is better for the adults to move as soon as possible." ”

"I'll wait for you outside." Xian Yu Zhongtong smiled at Li Qing, glanced at Liu Suifeng coldly, and walked away with his hands held high.

"The subordinates plan to buy thin wine in Mingyue Building to shock Li Gongzi."

"No need, you're busy with official business, and besides, you don't have a lot of money, forget about it, I won't take it to heart"

"Shame on your subordinates!"

Li Qing saw that the two of them were gradually moving away, so he smiled at the prison boss and said, "After I go out, I will write down the lottery method and send it, which can be regarded as a reward for the preferential treatment of the prison boss." "He doesn't have a backstage, this lottery won't be done again, and giving it to this prison head can be regarded as a favor, saving him from trouble for himself in the future.

The prison head was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, but when he saw the county magistrate who had walked to the door, he looked back and stared at him, his eyes were sharp, and the prison head trembled with fright, and he was suddenly silent, and he hurriedly took Li Qing to go through the prison release procedures without mentioning it.

Li Qing walked out of prison, the bright sun shone on him so that he couldn't open his eyes, only one night, it was like a world away, not far ahead, Xian Yu Zhongtong stood tall, caressing his long beard, smiling, there was a girl standing next to him, the long skirt was plain white, elegant like a fairy, not the curtain was anyone, her tears were not dry, seeing him come out, couldn't help crying with joy, and then regardless of the girl's reserve, open her arms to him.

Li Qing laughed loudly, and for the first time discovered that life is so beautiful.

......

"I asked Gongzi Li to be a deacon, forty times a month, but Gongzi refused, but he basked in the poisonous sun to earn this meagre money, and he was imprisoned, why bother?" Xian Yu Zhongtong smiled faintly and said: "I sincerely hire Gongzi to be my deacon, fifty times a month, is Gongzi willing?" ”

If Li Qing had just asked when he left Zhang's mansion, he would probably agree immediately, but Li Qing's experience of this prison sentence made him see through the sinister nature of people's hearts even more, earning five or six hundred a year seems to be good, but as soon as he enters a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea, if he enters Xianyu Gate, can he still pat his ass and leave? And if he has the business secrets of Xian Yu's family, Xian Yu Zhongtong will not be able to let him go easily, he Li Qing will have to change his name to Xian Yuqing sooner or later, Xian Yu Zhongtong is good to him now, but being a friend is completely different from being a subordinate, once there is an interest involved, it is impossible for Xian Yu Zhongtong to treat him with sincerity like this.

On the contrary, although ice making is small, it can be slowly expanded, and even high-profit products such as ice cream can be made, and the risk is relatively small, not as easy to be targeted by the underworld as gambling, and after earning the first pot of gold, then looking for opportunities to become bigger.

"No! You can't promise him. ”

He made up his mind, so he said apologetically: "I already have a plan, I can only live up to Mr. Xian Yu's good intentions again, this time Mr. Meng rescued, Li Qing should be remembered, and I will report later." ”

"Childe!" The curtain exhaled softly.

"How?" He turned his head to look at the curtain, but the curtain's eyes were flustered and he didn't dare to face him.

"I don't know, Childe can decide for himself!" She stammered as if she had done something wrong.

Xian Yu Zhongtong took a fancy to Li Qing's ability, and one of the purposes of saving him was to take the opportunity to take him for his own use, but Li Qing still refused, he saw that Li Qing refused to agree, and he was very disappointed in his heart, but he also secretly admired his toughness.

He patted the curtain on the head and smiled: "You little sister, I have recognized her as a righteous daughter, do you know that yesterday the concierge did not let her enter the house, she actually broke in by herself, turned the house upside down, and fell in love with the old lady, coaxed him to be happy, and ordered me to accept her as a righteous daughter, not very old, but entrusted by people, loyal to people, courage is commendable!" ”

Although he said it simply, Li Qing knew that it must be very tortuous, that is, she was moved to run for herself, but she was also happy for her, she was lonely, and she could have more care, how could it be a good thing, as for the fate, it was natural, she had been a fortune teller since she was a child, and it was her strength to make people happy and look at her face. It's okay, I finally have a thing on my mind. (The curtain is fresh in the house, please see the outer chapter)

"Curtain, you can go back with your father-in-law, and I will come to see you later."

"No!" The curtain raised her head and stared at Li Qing, her gaze clear and indifferent, but extremely firm.

"I would like to help Childe start a business and follow Childe around."

She bowed down to Xian Yu Zhongtong Yingying and said: "When Li Gongzi is in a difficult time, I can't be alone, my daughter is not filial, please forgive my father." ”

"Good! Good! Xian Yu Zhongtong praised it twice in a row, and sighed: "Who says turbid cement, does not stain the bright moonlight, it is really Lan Xinhui, which makes Xu Mei ashamed!" ”

He glanced at the cloth bag at his feet, where there was two five hundred yuan that Li Qing earned by the lottery, shook his head slightly, then took out a piece of silver from his body, and stuffed it to Li Qingdao: "No matter what you do, you must have capital, these twenty taels of silver should be borrowed from you by me, and I will pay it back after you earn it, I hope you can make a lot of money!" After that, he laughed and walked away.
