Chapter 24: Ransom

Since he came back from whipping Pan Jinlian that day, Ximenqing has not been born in peace, first of all, his own disciples saw that he had lost his position, and most of them scattered; Then the boss of Huanxianglou kept sending people to the house to urge him to repay the money, and what was even more hateful was that Wu Dalang also followed the well, and kept urging Ximen Qing to pay compensation to the county government quickly, Ximen Qing is now weak, and he dare not offend the government, although he hates Wu Zhi, but he also has to find a way to make up money to compensate Wu Zhi.

But counting the loss of Huanxianglou, there are a total of two hundred taels of holes! Two hundred taels is 200,000 yuan, and Ximenqing gritted his teeth and sold half of the medicinal materials in his crude medicine shop at a cheap price, so that he could make up enough for fifty taels!

After the old man in his family was cheated out of 500 taels at the beginning, it was all because Ximenqing's wife took away all the jewelry to exchange for more than a dozen taels for the daily household of the whole family, and at this moment he can no longer take out half of the copper plate.

Ximenqing is most worried about not only the silver problem at the moment, he has also done a lot of slander and framing things to rob people's wealth before, so he knows that it is powerful, he is most worried that Wu Dalang deliberately went to the government to make trouble with his arrears and not paying back the silver, and now Ximenqing has no wealth and no power, once there are branches, then he will definitely not be able to fight Wu Dalang, I am afraid that when the time comes, everyone will be ruined!

So he must scrape together enough money as soon as possible not to be honest, once he recovers a little, then Ximen Qing is confident that he will be able to kill Wu Dalang!

Because Ximenqing understands that the last few losses were the result of underestimating Wu Dalang and underestimating the enemy, and now Ximenqing will never underestimate Wu Dalang again!

But when he thought of making up the money, Ximenqing made another difficulty, and now he is only temporarily losing power, but the old men in the county are all avoiding him like a plague god, and they refuse to borrow half a penny.

Ximenqing guessed that it must be the extremely hateful Wu Dalang who was obstructing him, just to make himself unable to pay the money and have a good excuse to deal with himself again!

"Damn Wu Dalang! I'll kill you! Thinking of this, Ximenqing hated it again and smashed the table hard.

At this time, the little guy who walked into the house quickly last time, and said to Ximen Qing cautiously: "Big official, there is a princess outside the door who asks to see you." "The little guy stayed not because he was more righteous, but because Ximen Qing always wanted to leave a few helpers to deal with Wu Zhi in the future, and the little guy also felt that Ximen Qing would turn over, so he stayed with Ximen Qing with a few Hakka Ding.

"Lady Wang?"

Ximenqing couldn't help frowning when he heard that it was Wang Po, he thought that if it wasn't for Wang Po helping him seduce Pan Jinlian, he wouldn't have ended up like this, so he immediately said in disgust: "No! ”

"But the big officials," the little servant persuaded, "the princess said that she had come to bring silver to the big officials." ”

"Oh?" Ximenqing suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, although he didn't know whether what the princess said was true or false, but since the other party dared to say so, he thought that he had some confidence, and then Ximenqing softened his tone and said: "Let her come in!" ”

"Ouch hey! Ximen officials haven't visited the old man for a few days, haven't you forgotten my godmother? As soon as Wang Po entered the door, she was heard complaining to Ximen Qing in the courtyard, although she was complaining, but Wang Po walked briskly and had a smile on her face, which was clearly a set of almost expressions.

"Wang Ganniang, I've been busy with affairs lately, and I have no choice but to get rid of my godmother, don't blame my godmother, hurry up and take a seat inside." Ximen Qing also greeted the door of the hall, bent down and gave a big bow to Wang Po, and said with a smile on his face.

"How dare you, how dare you? The Ximen officials don't dislike the old body, and they have already given the old body a lot of face! How dare you blame? After entering the house and sitting down, Wang Po said sincerely.

"Wang Ganniang has been in good health recently?"

"The blessing of the great official Tosimon is that his body is hard! How are the officials of Simon lately? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the weather is a little depressed, and it's inevitable that I'll be irritable."

"Ouch, I'm irritable, that's a lot of anger, hurry up and go to my teahouse, my godmother will make you a pot of good chrysanthemum tea, and I'm sure you will go to the fire to refresh!"

The two of them pretended to talk without a word, Wang Po had Wu Zhi's support and silver in hand, she was naturally full of confidence and unhurried; However, although Ximen Qing was anxious to ask Wang Po about the silver, but he held his identity, Wang Po didn't speak first, and he didn't want to ask first.

After gossiping for a while, Wang Po suddenly approached Ximenqing, and whispered to Ximenqing with a smile full of wrinkles on an old face: "How about a big official?" Is that little lady still useful? ”

Ximen Qing has been troubled for several days, and he has never been close to the woman at all, and after Wang Po said he paused for a moment, and then said coldly: "Godmother said that Pan Jinlian?" Not to mention, that thief woman is really a broom star, since I bought it, I have been unlucky, and now I can't wait to hang it every day, where do I have the heart to use it? ”

Wang Po was also secretly happy when she heard this, just now she was worried that Ximenqing would be reluctant to sell Pan Jinlian, so she would test it, and now it seems that since Ximenqing is very disgusted with Pan Jinlian, then this transaction is easy to do, and the price can be pressed down again!

"Wang Ganniang, I heard that you want to give me some silver? What the hell is that? When he mentioned Pan Jinlian, Ximenqing was upset again, and he couldn't care about any face, so he directly asked about Wang Po's silver.

"Hehe... Don't doubt that the old man is here to give you silver! Wang Po smiled mysteriously.

"Oh, I said Wang Ganniang, don't sell Guan Zi to worry about me!" Ximenqing spread his hands and said.

"Okay, the old body will explain it to you." Wang Po no longer beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "In fact, the old man sent a deal for the big official, that Pan Jinlian official didn't look in the eyesway, just a member of Qinghe County heard about it, so he entrusted the old body to buy that Pan Jinlian back to be a concubine of the inner servant, you also know, that Pan Jinlian was originally a person from Qinghe County, and her reputation is outside, so naturally there are countless outsiders who look at it with their eyes!" ”

Wang Po is also calculating, in the future, Ximen Qing will know that Wu Zhi bought Pan Jinlian, and she will have an excuse to say that she was also kept in the dark by Wu Dalang in the future.

"The price of that person's going out is not low, and being a middleman this time can not only help the big officials make a lot of money, but also leave a little oil and water for themselves, right?" Seeing that Ximen Qing was thinking about it, Wang Po continued.

"How much money is that guy willing to give?"

Ximenqing thought for a while, that Pan Jinlian no longer has any attraction to him, and now he is just short of money, so it is a very good way to sell Pan Jinlian, but he is still a little unwilling, this Pan Jinlian was bought for five hundred taels, and now it will definitely not be sold at the original price.

Seeing that Ximen Qing was eager to seek wealth and did not ask the name of the clerk, Wang Po was determined and replied: "One hundred taels!" What do you think? The price is high, right?! "Wang Po is also extremely dark-hearted, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she swallowed half of Wu Zhi's ransom to Ximenqing!

Ximen Qing didn't care who bought Pan Jinlian at all, he never thought it would be Wu Zhi anyway, but when he heard the price of Wang Po, Ximen Qing frowned: "Wang Ganniang, this price is too low, right?" At the beginning, I spent five hundred taels to ......" Speaking of this, Ximenqing only felt a pain in his heart, and he couldn't speak, this money was spent, and it was a big loss!

Wang Po also sneered in her heart, and secretly said that only a stupid person like you Ximenqing would pay five hundred taels to buy a wife!

"Big official, this price is not low, the top brand of our Qinglou in Yanggu County, the redemption is only this price......"

"But godmother, although I suffered a big loss, but that Pan Jinlian was bought by me for five hundred taels, and it has only been a few days since I bought it, and I haven't touched her before, so I can't be higher?"

After a lot of hard work, Wang Po promised Ximen Qing to let the "outsider" add another fifty taels, Ximen Qing is naturally grateful to Wang Po, this time counting the fifty taels that Ximen Qing sold medicinal materials, he can finally make up for the two hundred taels of holes, and he can also take a breath and reconsider dealing with Wu Dalang!

After Wang Po left, the more Ximen Qing thought about it, the more he felt that he was at a loss, he spent a lot of money and didn't even touch it, this dumb man would not eat it, at that moment, he cleaned up his appearance, left the house and went straight to Pan Jinlian's residence.

But this time, Ximen Qing didn't want to beat Pan Jinlian......

Pan Jinlian has lost a lot of weight recently, not to mention whiplashes all over her body, and only has some thin porridge for three meals a day, and her body is naturally emaciated.

In the face of Ximenqing's beating and abuse, Pan Jinlian also thought about committing suicide, but for some reason, in the dark, she always felt that she had to live no matter how difficult and desperate she was, as if there was something waiting for her in the future, so she might be tortured to death by others, but she would not kill herself.

"Tom!"

Pan Jinlian was sad alone, when she suddenly heard the sound of the courtyard door being kicked open, and then she went out and saw the figure that made her desperate......

Ximen Qing!

Today, Ximenqing didn't have a whip in his hand, and his expression was not so angry, but Pan Jinlian saw Ximenqing's beastly eyes, and her heart was suddenly filled with strong uneasiness.

Although Pan Jinlian has lost weight, her appearance still reveals a bit of poignant beauty.

"Slut! See how I clean you up! ”

After Ximen Qing scolded, he rushed to Pan Jinlian's side and dragged her into the room.

"Ahh

Pan Jinlian was startled, and then the whiplash wound on her body was touched by Ximenqing so rudely, and she couldn't help but scream.

"What are you going to do! Help me! Bastard! I don't care about you! After the fright, Pan Jinlian struggled and resisted desperately, she didn't think much about it, she only had one thought in her heart, that is, she couldn't let Ximenqing, a brute, touch herself, and she couldn't die!

If a woman resists desperately without any care, even a big man like Ximenqing will inevitably have to work hard to restrain it, Ximenqing held down Pan Jinlian's left hand, Pan Jinlian kicked his right foot violently, just held down his right hand, and his left foot kicked over violently, and kept shouting for help.

Ximen Qing, who provoked him, was extremely angry, and viciously slapped Pan Jinlian a few times, and the corners of his mouth were bloody!

But Pan Jinlian ate the scales and was determined not to let Ximenqing succeed, although she was beaten lightly, she was still crazy and tried her best to push Ximenqing away, "Help!" Someone's coming! ......" roared as he broke free, and the veins on his white neck swelled, apparently trying his best to resist!

"Yo! Yo! Yo! ”

At this moment, a voice full of disdain was suddenly heard in the room, Ximen Qing was stunned, and stopped moving.

"I said, Simon Official, what are you doing here? We've already negotiated the price, aren't you going to do a deal? ”

It was Wang Po who spoke, and she appeared in the room at some point, still holding a bag of silver in her hand, followed by two men who looked like family members.

"Hehe, I'm not going to tie her up and wait for you to come!" Ximen Qing saw that the princess suddenly appeared, although she secretly scolded the mother-in-law for coming quickly, but she had to stop and tidy up her clothes, and said cheekily.

"No need to tie up! It's silver, you can order it, if it's okay, I'll take the person! After glancing at Ximenqing, Wang Po threw the silver to him and said, "Fortunately, I heard the call for help in time......

"Okay, good, the silver is just right, people, godmother, you can take it now!" Ximen Qing said with a smile after counting the silver.

Wang Po didn't speak, she stepped forward to wrap the quilt around Pan Jinlian, who was in messy clothes, and said leisurely, "Borrow your bed quilt, let's go!" After that, he and the two family members took Pan Jinlian, who was trembling, out.
