Spring Breeze Pavilion backyard.

Li Yuntian and Lei Ting followed the woman in the yellow dress to a secluded courtyard, after the woman in the red dress pushed open the courtyard door, there were rows of clothes poles in the courtyard, and several middle-aged women in coarse cloth clothes were busy washing a pile of dirty clothes by the pool.

"Red Sleeves." The woman in the yellow dress glanced at the middle-aged women who were washing clothes, and shouted at one of the middle-aged women with shaggy hair.

"What is the girl looking for me?" The middle-aged woman with fluffy hair heard the shout and hurriedly put down the clothes in her hand, wiped her hands on the apron tied around her waist, trotted all the way, and asked with a smile on her face.

"Two masters, she is Aunt Hong." The woman in the yellow dress ignored the middle-aged woman, but turned around and carefully said to Li Yuntian and Lei Ting, Red Sleeves was the stage name that Aunt Hong took when she was young, but she was later called Aunt Hong after taking charge of Chunfeng Pavilion.

Li Yuntian looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him with shabby clothes, many wrinkles on her face, and some gray hair on both sides of her bun, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

He recognized the ordinary middle-aged woman in front of him as Aunt Hong, who had almost slept with him, where was there still a trace of the graceful and luxurious demeanor of the past at this time? Completely became an ordinary middle-aged woman.

"Two masters, I don't know what to do with looking for a people's woman?" Aunt Hong never imagined that the handsome man in front of her was the cowherd she bought for five hundred taels of silver, so she glanced at Li Yuntian and Lei Ting a little strangely, and asked with a smile on her face.

"This is five hundred taels of silver, so far the grievances between the two of us are completely over." Li Yuntian came back to his senses, waved his hand to Li Manshan on the side, and then said to Aunt Hong quietly.

When Li Manshan heard this, he took out five silver tickets of one hundred taels from his body, stepped forward and stuffed them into Aunt Hong's hands.

"This lord, did you recognize the wrong person, the woman and you have never lived, and the five hundred taels of silver came from nowhere." Aunt Hong glanced at the silver ticket in her hand in surprise, and looked at Li Yuntian with a puzzled expression, she really couldn't remember where she had seen Li Yuntian and Lei Ting.

"Six years ago, you bought a man and promised him that he would return his freedom after three years in the Spring Breeze Pavilion, and that you would give him a sum of money at that time, but then his first business was messed up." Li Yuntian knew that Aunt Hong couldn't recognize herself now, so he stepped forward and leaned over and whispered in her ear.

"Yes...... It's you! Aunt Hong was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Li Yuntian with a shocked face, although six years have passed, she will never forget what happened back then, but she never imagined that the cowherd who was bought by herself in the past has now become a rich and noble person.

After Li Yuntian successfully escaped from Fan Qingshan's seventh aunt, Fan Qingshan spread his anger on Chunfeng Pavilion and secretly sent his brothers to smash it.

Because Fan Qingshan, the backstage of Chunfeng Pavilion, couldn't afford to provoke it, so this matter was not over later, Aunt Hong had sent someone to look for Li Yuntian afterwards, but unfortunately in the end nothing was found, she thought that she was killed by Fan Qingshan.

"Let's do it for ourselves in the future." Li Yuntian saw that Aunt Hong recognized him, so he quietly warned her, and then turned around and left with Lei Ting, the purpose of his coming to see Aunt Hong was to repay the money, and now that the money has been given to him, there is naturally no need to stay here anymore.

As the old bustard of the Chunfeng Pavilion, Li Yuntian knew that Aunt Hong must have done those things that forced her to become a prostitute before, but this kind of thing was under the jurisdiction of the magistrate, and it was a common thing in the Qing Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, so it was inconvenient for him to interfere.

Aunt Hong has fallen to the point where she is now, and it can be regarded as a punishment for her, Li Yuntian hopes that she can spend the rest of her life in peace after taking the five hundred taels of silver, and stop doing those skin and meat businesses, otherwise there will be no good end.

"Thank you, Childe, thank you!" Aunt Hong came back to her senses and hurriedly bowed to Li Yuntian to thank her, her mood was extremely excited, she never imagined that she would be able to meet Li Yuntian, a noble person.

Li Yuntian wanted to leave Chunfeng Pavilion calmly, but the development of the situation backfired, and before he could walk out of the courtyard of the pulp washing room, a group of strong men of five big and three thick men poured in from outside the door, blocking his way violently.

Seeing this, Li Manshan waved his hand, and the guards who followed him greeted him, pressing the hilt of the waist knife with his right hand, and confronting those big men with an expressionless face, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

"Boy, after eating the bear's heart and leopard's guts, you dare to make trouble in the Spring Breeze Pavilion, and you don't ask who is covering this field." Under Li Yuntian's frowning gaze, a fat man with a horizontal face and a big waist walked into the courtyard gate surrounded by several strong men, glared at him viciously and said.

"I'm just here to settle a personal grudge, and now that the grudge is over, I'm bothering Your Excellency to make a way." When Li Yuntian heard this, he knew that the fat man regarded himself as the person who came to find fault, so he explained quietly.

"What's going on?" The fat man didn't believe Li Yuntian's words, so he looked up and asked the woman in the yellow dress, just now he got the news that someone came to smash the field, so he hurriedly brought someone to check, and it is still not clear what happened.

"Master Shi, these two masters gave Aunt Hong five hundred taels of silver tickets." The woman in the yellow dress glanced at Li Yuntian and Lei Ting, and replied timidly.

"Five hundred taels?" Shi Ye's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and a greedy look flashed in his eyes, the master who could sell five hundred taels at one time was definitely a rich man.

"Why are you giving her money?" Then, Shi Ye glanced at Aunt Hong and asked expressionlessly.

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Your Excellency." Li Yuntian had already heard that Shi Ye was deliberately looking for trouble for him, so he replied coldly.

"Hmph, this Huai'an is Lao Tzu's territory, you have to do whatever Lao Tzu says, otherwise Lao Tzu will arrest you as bandits and send you to the government prison, so that you can eat the prison food inside." Seeing that Li Yuntian's tone was not good, Shi Ye couldn't help but snort coldly, and said gloomily, his words full of threats.

"Your Excellency has such a big breath, and you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue!" Seeing Shi Ye's arrogant attitude, Lei Ting looked at him with a frosty mask and said coldly.

"Maybe you are all the number one person outside, but this is Huai'an, it's the dragon you coil for me, it's the tiger you lie down for me, otherwise Shi Ye will let you leave Huai'an!"

Hearing this, Shi Ye stretched out his hand and patted his chest, and said to Lei Ting unashamedly, threatening Lei Ting viciously, he naturally knew that Li Yuntian and Lei Ting were not idle people, and their families were either rich or expensive.

However, since Li Yuntian and Lei Ting both speak Guangxi accents, Shi Ye naturally thinks that the two are from Guangxi, and Guangxi and Huai'an are thousands of miles apart, so he is not worried about what big waves the two can make in Huai'an, after all, this is his territory.

"What do you want?" Li Yuntian saw Shi Ye's arrogant face, frowned slightly, and asked quietly.

"Lao Tzu suspects that you are bandits, now follow Lao Tzu to the mansion." Shi Ye's face sank when he heard this, and he pointed at Li Yuntian and Lei Ting and said, as long as the two of them are brought into the prison cell of Huai'an Mansion at that time, he will not believe that the two people with fine skin and tender meat will not obediently spend money to eliminate disasters, and with the participation of people in the official mansion, he will be able to save a lot of trouble.

"It seems that Your Excellency is deliberately trying to keep up with you?" How could Li Yuntian not know Shi Ye's thoughts, presumably this guy must have colluded with the officials of the government, frowned and asked coldly, to be honest, he didn't want to cause trouble here.

"If you know each other, go with Lao Tzu obediently, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!" Shi Ye was not afraid of Li Yuntian, an outsider, and stretched out his thumb to gesture outside the door, threatening Li Yuntian viciously.

"Shi Ye, this is five hundred taels of silver tickets, I will give them to you, you can let them go." At this moment, Aunt Hong quickly stepped forward and stuffed the five hundred taels of silver tickets into Shi Ye's hand, and pleaded for Li Yuntian and Lei Ting with a smile on her face.

"Get out of the way!" Shi Ye glanced down at the silver ticket in his hand, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then pushed Aunt Hong away, and warned loudly, "Lao Tzu suspects that these people are robbers who rob houses and houses, if you don't want to cause trouble, stay on the side honestly." ”

Due to Shi Ye's excessive force, Aunt Hong stumbled and fell to the ground, and she couldn't stand up for a long time.

"Give her back the silver ticket!" Li Yuntian didn't expect that Aunt Hong would help him intercede with Lei Ting, seeing that Shi Ye didn't plan to stop after receiving the money, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, this Shi Ye was too greedy, so his face was cold, and he looked at Shi Ye indifferently.

"If it's in Lao Tzu's hands, don't expect to take it again." Shi Ye ignored Li Yuntian, stretched out his hand and stuffed the five silver tickets into his arms, and said with a grin, "Tell you the truth, you won't be able to get out of Huai'an if you don't come out with 10,000 taels of silver!" ”

"Blatant extortion in public, I think you're looking for death!" Li Yuntian was slightly stunned when he heard this, then frowned and glared at Shi Ye, and said word by word.

"Boy, you're still hard-mouthed, I'll let you see who is looking for death!" Seeing that Li Yuntian dared to threaten him, Shi Ye's eyes suddenly flashed fiercely, and he waved his hand at the strong men beside him, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, arrest these bandits and send them to the official." ”

There were twenty or thirty strong men, nearly twice as many as Li Yuntian's personal guards, and when they heard this, they rushed towards Li Yuntian, Lei Ting and the others, putting on a menacing posture.

"Don't use a knife!" Li Yuntian didn't want to cause trouble in the Chunfeng Pavilion, but from the scene in front of him, it seemed that this conflict was inevitable, so he ordered the guards in front of him in a deep voice, and now Shi Ye couldn't wait for the guards to use their knives, in that case, the government would be able to intervene logically, and then he would only wait to be blackmailed by the other party.

Of course, Li Yuntian is naturally not afraid that people from the government will get involved in this matter, but there is no need to use a knife to deal with these strong men who seem to be strong outside, and the guards he brought this time are all crawling out of the pile of dead people on the battlefield of Jiaozhi, all of them are fierce and brave, and it is more than enough to deal with those strong men who only bully the weak on weekdays.

Hearing this, the guards removed their hands on the hilt of the knife one after another, and greeted the strong men who rushed towards them with expressionless faces, Li Yuntian just said that they were not allowed to use the knife, which meant that they could punish those strong men with heavy hands.

Seeing this situation, Aunt Hong, who was sitting on the ground, couldn't help but light up in front of her, knowing that her chance to turn over had come.

Unlike Shi Ye, Aunt Hong knew that Li Yuntian was not a person from Guangxi, because Li Yuntian spoke pure Shandong dialect back then, and with her experience, she naturally understood that Li Yuntian was covering up his identity, which meant that his background was definitely not simple, and Shi Ye was likely to hit the iron plate this time.

Judging from the five hundred taels of silver that Li Yuntian returned six years later, Li Yuntian is a person with clear grievances, so Aunt Hong took a risk and gave the five hundred taels of silver tickets to Shi Ye to help Li Yuntian say good things, presumably Li Yuntian would not be indifferent to this.

And if she can get Li Yuntian's support, maybe she can make a comeback and take back the Chunfeng Pavilion, she has had enough of this kind of **** days.
