Chapter VII: Implication
One seemingly bright morning, the rooster crowed, the whole Guangling City was still shrouded in a thin morning mist, the eastern sky had just revealed a glimmer of light, in an alley in the north of the city, there was a family, and the daughter of the family had already gotten up early to chop firewood in the courtyard.
Since her father was convicted of criminal involvement four years ago, she has taken up the burden of the family by herself to support her mother, who was grieved and ill by the death of her husband.
After chopping firewood in the courtyard, Wang Xin came to the kitchen with the pile of fine firewood to boil water for cooking.
While the water was still boiling, the woman went to the living room of the main house, took out an incense stick in front of the shrine, lit it with her tongue of fire, and bowed to the shrine for her father's spiritual seat.
Her father, Wang Wu, was a jailer in the prison of Guangling City, honest and kind, but because he did not privately coerce the family of the convict to give him filial piety and silver like other jailers, his family was not wealthy.
One day four years ago, Wang Wu was suddenly transferred to the post of county lieutenant, and he was displeased with his wife and daughter Wang Xin, she thought that her father could finally get ahead, but she didn't want that just three months later, Wang Wu was suddenly implicated in the crime and questioned in Guangling Mansion, which made the Wang family, whose family situation had improved slightly, collapse.
"Cough, cough......" There was a cough from the bedroom next to him, which woke up Wang Xin, who was in a trance.
"Mother?" With a little panic on her face, Wang Xin hurriedly came to the bedroom, looked nervously at her mother lying on the couch, and asked urgently, "Mother, are you okay?" β
I saw a woman lying on the couch who was suffering from illness, with a haggard face and a yellow face, and she shook her head after hearing her daughter's concerned greetings. patted the back of her daughter's hand and said gently, "It's not in the way, my mother just coughed twice, and it will be fine later......"
"......" Looking at her mother's haggard face, Wang Xin bit her lip and said with a forced smile, "Mother, wait for the water to boil." My daughter boils porridge for you to drink, and she presses the cough ......"
"Okay, okay," the woman smiled and nodded, raising her slightly trembling right hand. stroked her daughter's forehead, straightened out the hair that stuck to her forehead because of sweat, and said with a guilty face, "Xin'er, a hard-working child, my mother can't help you......"
"Mother, what are you talking about......
"Ah," he let out a long sigh. The woman looked up at the roof and muttered, "Why would God treat my family so badly?" -- Your father's mother knows best, and he has never done anything unreasonable. Why is it criminally implicated? cough cough cough ...... What are you talking about running rampant in the township, oppressing good people, cough cough ......" Speaking of excitement, the woman couldn't stop coughing again and again.
"Mother. Don't talk about it, you can rest for a while. A hint of pain flashed in Wang Xin's eyes.
Be. Until now, Wang Xin still doesn't believe that his honest and gentle father would do that kind of thing, in fact, even the nearby neighbors don't believe it, but they have nothing to do, because the incident three years ago was directly issued from Jijing, the master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is said that a certain big man in the capital directly ordered Guangling Mansion to severely punish some corrupt officials in the city, and directly named 12 officials under the name of Guangling Mansion, such as county lieutenants and chief bookkeepers, among which there was even the prefect's brother-in-law Deng Yuan.
Deng Yuan, in Wang Xin's understanding, this person is a very remarkable person in Guangling City, not only the prefect's brother-in-law, but also in the official mansion as the head of the house, concurrently serving as the county lieutenant, in recent years in Guangling arrogant, the people of Guangling City are not afraid of him, but even such a person, can not stand up to the Jijing list, and was directly dismissed and investigated.
To tell the truth, if it was just a tyrannical official like Deng Yuan who was investigated and sentenced, the people of Guangling like Wang Xin would undoubtedly applaud and sigh that God had opened their eyes, but this matter involved her father, her father, who had been in the post of county lieutenant for less than three months.
According to the jailers, her father committed suicide by taking poison in fear of sin, but Wang Xin did not believe it, until a jailer who was good friends with her father secretly told her that her father Wang Wu and several other officials implicated in this incident were directly ordered by Guangling Mansion to be poisoned to death.
Why did Guangling do this? Wang Xin was angry and sad.
Later, an old man in the neighborhood told her that it was very likely that the big man who gave the order directly from Jijing had a high status and great power, and even the prefect of Guangling panicked and wanted to hide the matter, and her father was used as a scapegoat by the officials of Guangling Prefecture.
At court one hand will wash the other......
Wang Xin, who had never been to the school, suddenly popped up a word in her heart, she wanted her father to avenge her grievances, but she didn't know what to do, and complained at the Yamen of the Criminal Department of Guangling Mansion, but was told that the matter was directly issued by the Criminal Department of the Beijing Division, and the case could not be overturned.
Later, a passing scholar kindly told her that it seemed that it was useless for her to sue for grievances in the local yamen, because the local yamen clearly wanted to suppress the matter, and if she wanted to sue, she would sue Jijing, the Jingshi Prison Temple, and the Jingshi criminal deployment, and begged the officials there to investigate the case.
Wang Xin hesitated, firstly, she had never left Guangling City, Jijing was far away, she didn't even know where Jijing was, and secondly, there was a seriously ill mother at home, how could she bear to leave her seriously ill mother.
This delay was four full years, and seeing her mother become more and more emaciated because she had no money to see a doctor, her whole heart was pinched.
"Son, my mother's illness is clear in my mother's heart, you don't have to suffer because of your mother's ......" patting the back of her daughter's hand, the woman on the couch said earnestly, "Mother knows, you still think about avenging your father, but ...... The people don't fight with the officials, how can you fight with your daughter's family? Listen to my mother's persuasion, if you find a good family outside, you will marry, not for wealth, but for stability, so that your mother will meet your father one day, and there will be an explanation......"
"Mother, what are you talking about!" Seeing her mother say this, Wang Xin was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Mother, you will get better, when you are well, let's go to Jijing to complain together, and listen to the people in the past, the Jingshi Prison Temple is fair and honest, especially the Shaoqing who took office at the beginning of the previous two years, it seems that it is especially aimed at the lawlessness of my Guangling City, and the child heard about it." There was a person in the neighboring county who went to Beijing to sue the county order, and after the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple asked clearly, he didn't say a word, and directly dismissed the county order and never hired, as long as my mother and I complained about the grievances to the Lord of the High Prison Temple, I will definitely be able to avenge my father......"
Seeing her daughter's resolute attitude, the woman on the couch sighed slightly, nodded and said, "Okay." Okay, when my mother is well, I will go to Beijing with my son......" said so, but there was a trace of bitterness in her eyes.
"Hmm!" Although she could clearly see the bitterness in her mother's eyes, Wang Xin still chose to ignore it. Mother and daughter invariably ignore a fact that would be difficult for their daughter to accept.
After boiling water and boiling rice porridge, Wang Xin brought the porridge and a small plate of pickled vegetables to her mother's bed, and waited for her mother's rice in a filial manner, and then hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge, picked up a bamboo basket in the house, and prepared to go outside the city to pick some fresh fruits and sell them to passers-by. This is to support the family and pay off the debts incurred to buy medicine for her mother.
"Mother, you have a good rest, the child is out......"
"Hmm. Be careful on my son's road......"
"Hmm!"
Carrying the bamboo basket on her back, Wang Xin came to the outside of the city along the north city gate, and picked a basket of fresh fruits in the forest at the foot of the mountain outside the city, and did not have time to wipe the sweat on her forehead. She hurried back to the city with the basket on her back, and she wanted to sell the fruit in the basket as soon as possible. Because of that, she has more time to spend with her mother, who is alone at home.
Coming to the city through the city gate, Wang Xin saw four men in the street molesting a beautiful woman, who looked dressed as if they were some rich boy with his three evil slaves.
To be honest, this kind of thing has long been commonplace for Wang Xin, even if it is herself, she has encountered this kind of thing several times, and her attitude towards this is ......
Wang Xin quietly took out a wooden stick from the bamboo basket behind her back and secretly hid it in the sleeve of her right hand.
As she expected, the gentleman seemed to notice her, and surrounded the three evil slaves.
"Chick, where are you going in such a hurry?" The leading gentleman said with a smile.
Wang Xin looked up at the man.
In her opinion, this gentleman seems to have a lot of background, the flaming red brocade on his body is at least worth the cost of their family for a year, in terms of appearance, this person is not bad, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but unfortunately, she has extreme contempt for what this person has done.
Hmph, only such rich children who don't know the suffering of the people will rely on the power of their families to flirt with women from good families on the street when they are idle, Wang Xin doesn't want to have anything to do with this kind of person.
Ignoring the hippie-faced guy in front of her, she lowered her head and tried to leave, but the three evil slaves of this person blocked her way.
"Chick, don't be in a hurry to go, give the uncle a pleasure, the chick is not happy, the uncle ......"
"......" glanced around at the four hateful guys surrounding her, Wang Xin knew that if she showed fear at this time, she would definitely not be able to avoid it, so it was better to fight with these wicked people.
Thinking of this, she jerked the wooden stick that slipped from her cuff and slammed it towards the head of the dumb boy.
I only heard a bang, and the head of the gentleman was red, and he was bleeding.
Oops!
Looking at the dumbfounded gaze of the dumbfounded child, Wang Xin herself was also a little flustered, after all, she had injured others.
But at the same time, a voice told her that to get rid of these four, she had to muster up the courage to scare them off.
Thinking of this, Wang Xin took a deep breath, grabbed the placket of the gentleman's clothes, and slapped the wooden stick in his right hand at his head, only hugging the other party's head and wailing.
In the end, the three evil slaves saved the gentleman and fled, looking at the applauding onlookers around the street, Wang Xin looked at the blood-stained wooden stick in his right hand in astonishment.
It was so smooth, so smooth that even she couldn't believe it, but why didn't those four guys fight back? He broke their master's head.
There is also the strong man who looks five big and three thick, Wang Xin has no doubt that the man's thick arm can knock her to the ground with a punch, but why, that guy only cares about holding his head?
It's not that she hasn't met the ruffians and gentlemen who did something to her, but like those four people, she has encountered them for the first time, after all, those four people have never touched her, and they didn't fight back even after being beaten by her, why is this?
An inexplicable bunch of guys, full of food and support!
Puzzled, Wang Xin secretly cursed in her heart, and came to the place where she set up a stall to sell fruits, ready to start making money to support her family.
However, what stunned her was. The gentleman who was broken by her actually licked his face and came again.
"Chick, uncle is here again!"
Listening to the words that made her heart churn with anger, Wang Xin raised her head and looked at the person coldly, and at the same time her right hand subconsciously tightened the wooden stick.
However, when her gaze swept over the bandage on the dumb boy's head, her heart softened, after all, she had caused the injury.
What's going on with this guy? Obviously he was broken by himself, why can he still have a hippie smile. Completely inappropriate? What else do you say to buy your own fruits?
Shouldn't he have told the minions to rush over and beat him up with an angry face?
Recalling what happened to her, Wang Xin looked at the visitor with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"What do you want?"
"Childe wants you...... of fruits! β
When she heard the first half of the sentence, Wang Xin was furious, but when she heard the whole sentence, she didn't know how to vent the anger in her heart.
It seems that the guy has come to trouble himself!
Wang Xin thought in her heart.
Sure enough. The gentleman, who seemed to her to be extremely hateful, made a verbal tease of her, and even played tricks to throw half of the cherry she had bitten into her mouth.
When she saw that scene, Wang Xin's face flushed with shame, but she had to admit that the other party's methods of teasing her were very clever, and she had never touched her from beginning to end. but she was ashamed of herself.
What's even worse is that this guy is very stingy, obviously wearing so well, what's wrong with giving more money to buy cherries?
Of course. This is just Wang Xin's unilateral willful disdain, after all, if the other party overpaid, she would not want it, and even disgusted this person even more. felt that this person was giving her alms, in contrast. Or is it like this......
No, this guy is extremely annoying anyway!
Seeing the man staring at his chest with a smile, Wang Xin couldn't wait for a sword from the sky to chop this hateful guy to death at this moment!
I thought that this matter was over, but what Wang Xin never expected was that when she came back from outside the city with a bamboo basket on her back the next morning, the hateful gentleman was waiting at the place where she sold fruit yesterday.
And this time, this guy didn't go to tease the good family woman passing by on the street, it seemed that he was waiting for her all the way.
"Chick, Uncle is here again! - The chick is a little late today, the uncle has been waiting here for a long time......"
Damn it!
Wang Xin almost bit her silver teeth angrily, and straightened out the stall without saying a word, she knew that this guy was eyeing herself, and she didn't know whether she was coveting her appearance, or simply to take revenge on him for breaking his head yesterday.
It's still the same set of words yesterday, but with a slight change, even if Wang Xin had the intention to take precautions, she accidentally said, and she couldn't take care of it in anger, so she immediately lifted the wooden stick.
However, to her astonishment, as soon as she lifted the stick, the four fellows immediately turned and fled, and fled so fast that she chased the whole street and could not catch up.
What made her even more stunned was that when she returned to the stall selling fruit and had not yet sat down, there was another sentence in front of her that made her gnash her teeth.
"Chick, Uncle is back again!"
Is this guy fed and holding on?!
Looking at the appearance of the person's hippie smile, Wang Xin trembled angrily, she had never met such a gentleman, as if the other party was not coveting her appearance or to retaliate against her, but purely teasing her.
But for three or four whole days, the hateful fellow took the three house slaves, and waited for her in that place every day, and as soon as she began to do business, the fellows came to make trouble, and when she angrily raised the stick and chased after them, the men were not annoyed, and turned and fled with a smile, and when she gave up the pursuit, they came back with a shy face, and continued to entangle her, and from beginning to end, the four fellows did not touch her, nor beat her back.
Damn, how can there be such a well-fed guy in the world?!
Wang Xin initially thought that the gentleman had taken a fancy to her and planned to marry her as a concubine like the people she had met in the past, but after three or four days, she also saw that these people were purely using her to have fun and have fun.
Thinking that she had been entangled with these guys for three or four days and delayed making money, Wang Xin's teeth itched with hatred, but she also vaguely noticed that the hateful-looking gentleman seemed to have a good temper, which was different from the ruffians and gentlemen she had met in the past, and she couldn't tell what was different.
"What's wrong with that guy today?" Early one morning. When Wang Xin tidied up the stall, she was puzzled to find that the hateful gentleman didn't come, after all, at this point a few days ago, that guy was bound to swagger in front of her, repeatedly challenging the limit of her patience.
Are you tired of playing......
Hmph, yes, that guy doesn't look like an ordinary rich boy, it's likely that he comes from a famous family. Seeing that he never touched his skin when he was entangled with himself, there must be no shortage of women around him, how could he look down on himself as a rustic country girl, just idle and have nothing to do to have fun to relieve his boredom......
Biting her lip slightly, she was horrified to find herself faintly lost.
But. Why is that guy pretending to be molesting himself?
Well, it's enough to hold on!
It seems that the kind of rich children who don't know how to support their families should be struck by lightning!
With a hint of jealousy, Wang Xin thought viciously in her heart.
Suddenly, with her head down, she was surprised to find a pair of big boots in front of her.
Hey? Here it comes?
With a little inexplicable joy in her heart, Wang Xin raised her head. Even she didn't know why she was in that mood.
But when she looked up at the visitor, she was dumbfounded, for it was not the hateful gentleman who had come, but the famous ruffian in the north of the city. A guy named Liu Fu.
To tell the truth, what Wang Xin is most afraid of is meeting this Liu Fu, firstly, she borrowed twenty taels of silver from this person in order to buy medicine for her seriously ill mother a while ago. Second, four years ago, her father was serving as a county lieutenant. He once took a cadre of officials to teach this person a lesson.
"Little girl, when will the money owed to me be returned?"
Glancing at the dozen or so bare-chested thugs behind Liu Fu, Wang Xin's heart thumped, barely showed a smile, and said, "Master Liu, didn't you say that you would pay it back monthly?" β
"Humph!" The fat man named Liu Fu shook his valuable clothes, and said slowly, "That's right, but it's almost the end of the month, but you little girl doesn't have the slightest intention of paying back......"
Wang Xin chuckled in her heart, after all, these days she wanted to get rid of the four guys who came to tease her several times, but she forgot about it, after thinking about it, she took a money bag from the back basket, handed it to Liu Fu, and said pleadingly, "Master Liu, someone has been making trouble with the little slave these days, and the little slave doesn't make much money, except for the money to buy medicine for my mother, that's all there is to it......
"What?" Liu Fatzi's eyes widened, and he said unhappily, "When Lao Tzu saw that your mother and daughter were pitiful, he kindly lent you twenty taels of silver, and asked you to take your old immortal mother to the hospital to see a doctor, but you girl dare not pay back the money owed to Lao Tzu?" β
As he spoke, more than a dozen thugs behind him rolled up their sleeves, wrapped their arms, surrounded Wang Xin, and intimidated her.
"No, the little slave definitely didn't want to owe Liu Ye the money and not pay it back, but he didn't get much in the past two days......"
"......" Liu Fu copied the money bag in Wang Xin's hand, checked it in his hand, and then frowned, obviously too little.
At this time, an evil slave glanced into the bamboo basket behind Wang Xin, took out a money bag from it, looked back at Liu Fu and said, "Master Liu, look! β
Wang Xin's complexion changed dramatically when she saw her, and she wanted to grab the money bag, but she was restrained by that evil slave.
"Little girl, play with Lao Tzu? ββWhat is this? Taking the money bag from the evil slave's hand, Liu Fu checked it, poured the broken silver in it into the palm of his hand, and counted it roughly, roughly about two taels.
Wang Xin was anxious, and said anxiously, "This is the money to buy medicine for my mother......"
"Buy medicine for your mother?" Fat Liu sneered, and said slowly, "Your old immortal mother, even if she is stubborn until now, what medicine will she take?" β
Wang Xin was angry in her heart, and she wanted to take back her money bag with her teeth and claws, but she was restrained by that evil slave.
"According to what I said," glanced at Wang Xin, who was restrained, Liu Fu leaned down slightly, and said, "Look at your little girl, who is also alive and well, why bother working so hard every day, as long as you are willing to obey the uncle, I will ensure that you enjoy endless wealth!" - Oh, by the way, your old immortal mother, the uncle also took care of it, how about it? β
Wang Xin was stunned when she heard this, looked at Liu Fu in surprise, and didn't struggle for a while, as if she was waiting.
But I saw Liu Fu touch his chin, and said with a smile, "I have also seen your old immortal uncle, and it is still Peugeot, if your mother and daughter are willing to serve the uncle honestly, I will ......"
Speaking of which, a wicked slave walked up to Liu Fu. whispered, "Master Liu, according to the medical hall in the city, the mother-in-law of the Wang family is already thin and out of shape, and she is half breathing, isn't Liu Ye asking for bad luck when she accepts her?" β
"That's it, forget it, roll up the mother-in-law for a bamboo mat, and bury it in a random place......"
Listen to the vicious words. Wang Xin's face turned red angrily, and she stared at Liu Fu deadly.
"What are you doing looking at your uncle like this?" As if noticing Wang Xin's gaze, Liu Fatzi leaned down with a smile and said, "Don't worry about your mother." Wouldn't it be better to follow the uncle to enjoy happiness, saving you the hard work every day......" As he spoke, he stretched out his greasy hand to touch Wang Xin's face.
Seeing that hand getting closer and closer to herself, Wang Xin, who was suffering from being restrained by all the evil slaves, was angry from her heart, and spit on Liu Fu's face, and suddenly, the smile on the latter's face froze.
"Good girl. Toast without eating and eating penalty wine! Standing up straight and wiping the saliva off his face, Liu Fu's face showed a bit of fierceness, and he scolded angrily, "Do you think it's still when your father is alive?" -- You have to follow from it today. If you don't follow, you have to follow! I don't think anyone would dare to meddle?! β
As he spoke, his fierce gaze swept over the people of Guangling City who were watching around him, and frightened those honest people who bowed their heads one after another, too. Who would dare to anger the local smugglers?
"Humph!" Humming with satisfaction, Fat Liu grabbed Wang Xin's arm with one hand. was about to be thin, but was bitten hard by the other party on the arm, only dripping with blood.
Liu Fu howled in pain and scolded angrily, "Loosen up! Relent! - You dead girl, hit me! β
A wicked slave obeyed the order and punched and kicked Wang Xin, but even so, Wang Xin did not let go, bit Liu Fu's arm, pulled out his right hand, and snatched the money bag in his hand.
When the evil slaves rescued the master, Liu Fu's arm was bitten by Wang Xin.
"What a girl!" Liu Fu was offended again and again in pain, gritted his teeth and scolded, "Call me, call me!" β
When the evil slaves heard this, they punched and kicked Wang Xin, only to see Wang Xin holding the money bag in his arms and shrinking into a ball.
Looking at the bloody wound on his arm, Liu Fu scolded angrily, "Uncle three and four please, you girl really think she is a rich daughter?" Your father has only been a county lieutenant for three months, competing with your grandfather, do you think those officials who are good friends with your father will risk offending your uncle to help you? Less delusional! - Uncle pinching your mother and daughter to death is like playing, your mother and daughter are fucking cheap, toast and don't eat and drink! β
Just as he was scolding, he didn't notice that behind him, a rich boy with a paper fan squeezed through the crowd and walked towards him, and then gently patted his right shoulder with his left hand.
"Huh?" Just as he was scolding, Liu Fu subconsciously turned his head and suddenly saw a fist swinging towards his cheek.
The onlookers gasped in shock, and watched in disbelief as Liu Fu, who was bloated, was beaten back a few steps by a man dressed as a rich man, and sat on the ground with a click.
"Master Liu!" The evil slave who was beating Wang Xin was shocked, ran over again and again, and helped his master up from the ground.
"Phew......" spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with two teeth from his mouth, and Liu Fu looked at the man not far in front of him who punched him fiercely.
I saw this person wearing a flame-red brocade robe, wearing a crimson jade crown, a patterned jade belt around his waist, and the jade pendant hanging on the right side of his waist emitted a faint green light from time to time, and he knew at a glance that it was a high-grade jade.
The eyesight honed over the years told Liu Fu that this person was by no means an ordinary person, he must be the son of a family somewhere, and he was also the son of an extremely wealthy family, and the clothes on this person were worth at least thousands of taels, especially the jade pendant.
Shocked by the richness of the person who came, Liu Fu held back his anger after being helped up, and said in a deep voice, "Who is Your Excellency?" Don't be nosy......"
But he didn't want the man who was dressed as a rich boy to ignore him at all, and a pair of bright eyes scanned the evil slave, and there seemed to be an indescribable momentum, the momentum of the superior.
Glancing at Liu Fu coldly, the rich boy squatted down, picked up Wang Xin, who was still curled up and fell to the ground, and helped her to stand on the ground.
"...... you" Wang Xin looked at the visitor in surprise, because she found that the person who helped her out of the siege turned out to be the strange kid who had been harassing her every day a few days ago.
There is no doubt that it was Xie An who relieved Wang Xin.
"Miss, are you alright?" A gentle word came out of Xie An's mouth.
Miss? Wang Xin looked at the gentleman in front of her strangely, and wondered why the other party called her Miss. Isn't that a title that only has for the daughters of the family?
Looking at Xie An in a daze, Wang Xin was puzzled, and when Xie An asked for the second time, she stammered and said, "I'm fine, I don't ......"
She wanted to say, I'm not the eldest lady, but Xie An turned her head to Liu Fu before she finished speaking, obviously this guy also heard the honorific title of the eldest lady. I didn't react when I opened my mouth.
"Who is ......" Glancing around at Liu Fu and the evil slaves under him, Xie An said coldly, "There is no one in the Wang family who deceives me?" β
As his words fell, Gou Gong, Xiao Li, Xu Jie and others, who had stood up with him earlier, stood side by side behind Xie An and Wang Xin, their eyes showing fierce light. stared at Liu Fu and the others.
Especially Xiao Li, I saw that his arms were stretched out, and the clothes on his chest were torn, revealing extremely burly and strong chest muscles, and those thugs couldn't help but be afraid.
"Pavilion...... Who are you? Liu Fu said in a condensed voice.
"In the lower eldest Sun Wu, he is the housekeeper of the eldest lady's house, and these three people are the housekeepers of the house......"
Isn't there only two mothers in the Wang family? Where did some housekeeper or housekeeper suddenly appear?
And the clothes worn by the housekeeper and the housekeeper. It's obviously more than a grade better than that big lady.
This is clearly here to make trouble!
Thinking of this, Liu Fu said in a condensed voice, "This eldest grandson, this girl ......"
"Miss Wang!" interrupted Liu Fatzi's words. Xie An shouted in a deep voice, and vaguely there seemed to be an invisible pressure attacking Liu Fu, causing him to subconsciously shrink his pupils.
It's no wonder, after all, Xie Anke is a dignified scholar of the Criminal Department. The sentence of life and death in the torture hall is not comparable to the official authority accumulated over the years by Liu Fu and other local snakeheads in Guangling.
"Yes. The eldest lady of the Wang family ......" swallowed her saliva, and Liu Fu continued, "This eldest lady of the Wang family borrowed twenty taels of silver from someone Liu before, and she still owes eight taels of silver, and someone Liu is here to collect debts this time......
Before Xie An could speak, he walked out of Gou Gong behind him, took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from his arms, and threw it at Liu Fu's feet.
Probably frightened by the momentum of Xie An's group, Liu Fu hesitated, and did not intend to offend this rich kid who came from nowhere, so he asked a wicked slave under his hand to pick up the silver and was about to leave, but he saw the son named Changsun Wu open the fan in his hand with a snap, and said slowly, "Stop!" ββWho said you could wait? β
Liu Fu turned his head when he heard this, held back the anger in his heart, and said in a low voice, "What else does this son command?" β
"Butler!" Shaking the folding fan in his hand, Xie An said slowly.
ββ¦β¦ What does the eldest grandson steward command? β
I saw Xie An turn his head, glanced at Wang Xin, who was clutching his sleeve because of fear, pointed to the bruises on her body, and said coldly, "You beat my eldest lady to a serious injury, how can this matter be counted?" β
Liu Fu also saw that the other party clearly wanted to vent his evil anger for the girl surnamed Wang, but because he didn't know the details of the other party, Liu Fu said in a low voice, "In this case, Liu returned all the ten taels of silver......
"Is my royal family short of silver?" Gou Gong sneered, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, and slowly displayed them in front of everyone.
Liu Fu's eyes shrank, because he vaguely saw that the stack of silver tickets seemed to be 50,000 taels of silver tickets, after all, he also had similar silver tickets at home, in other words, that stack of silver tickets, at least a million taels, but not ordinary people can take out.
These people are by no means good!
Thinking of this, Liu Fu said tightly, "Then, what is this eldest grandson housekeeper going to do?" β
"It's very simple," snapped the folding fan in his hand, Xie An pointed at Liu Fu with the end of the folding fan, and then pointed to the ground in front of Wang Xin, and said lightly, "My eldest lady's injury, you don't need to pay for the silver, you just need to kowtow to my eldest lady for your vicious words!" β
Kowtow and apologize? I even want to kowtow to that girl and apologize?!
A hint of fierceness flashed in Liu Fu's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, don't deceive people too much!" β
"Oh, why are you annoyed all of a sudden," pretending to be surprised, Xie An smiled and said, "Maybe it's not clear what I'm talking about, I'm going to say it again." - In the next eldest Sun Wu, who is the steward of the Wang family, what is rude...... You're going to hit me! Come on! Come on! β
"......" Liu Fu was dumbfounded, he thought that the other party was going to give in, but he didn't want to hear this.
Not only him, but even the onlookers were dumbfounded, after all, the smile on Xie An's face was not close to what he said.
At the same time, by the window on the second floor of the opposite restaurant, a scholar in an indigo shirt was sitting by the window drinking.
"Some people are going to be unlucky!" Holding a wine glass, the scholar said lightly.
"But isn't it," the guy at the shop who was waiting for the drinks sighed worriedly when he heard this, "that boy is a rich son from a foreign country at first glance, and he doesn't know the sinister way of the world, and the three servants under his hand are the opponents of Liu Fu's cadres, Liu Fu is a well-known local villain!" β
