Chapter 165: It's better to ask for others than for yourself
Never trust a group of gamblers to keep their promises, so some of the tricks are already firmly in your hands, but this can easily lead to death.
How can we solve this situation?
"I kept the ledger in a safe place, but ...... If something happens to me and my family, the ledger will appear on the prefect's desk. I'm not one to cause trouble, as long as you raise your noble hand and let us live, then we naturally don't need to die. Steward, what do you say? ”
The steward put away his murderous intentions, this woman is really not simple, and he can't tell the truth of her words for a while.
For the sake of a Liang Sanhai, he can't tear his face with her, if he takes her down now, I'm afraid that someone outside will really take the account book to report the case, then it's not worth it.
The steward was silent for a long time, stood up and said a few words to those behind him, and poured Su Yunran a cup of tea: "It's easy for our gambling house to shut up alone, but the current county order has just been born, and the prefect is personally in charge of Hongyang, and we don't want to take the lead and cause trouble." From now on, hopefully we won't see each other again. Of course, if someone doesn't keep her promises, then we will definitely make her bear the price of her untrustworthiness! ”
With tea instead of wine, the two reached a final agreement.
Although gamblers are easy to be ruthless, they are not outlaws after all. If you take a step back, you may be happy.
However, Su Yunran still thought about arranging for the people of the Liu Mansion to secretly protect the Liang family for the next period of time. At least make sure that the people in the gambling house really keep their promises to rest assured, and she and Liang Hezhen can leave with confidence.
After a while, Liang Sanhai was escorted up.
Seeing that it was Su Yunran who came to ransom people, Liang Dahai couldn't help but wonder. How could such a big thing allow a woman to come? And it's a young girl.
Su Yunran saw that Liang Sanhai was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and stood up and arched his hand to the steward: "Thank you for raising your noble hand, then the person will take it back first!" I'm sorry for the gambling house, farewell! ”
The steward replied lightly, but his eyes looked at Liang Sanhai who was lying on the ground fiercely: "Remember, you may not have such luck next time." It's worth spending money on a lesson! ”
Liang Sanhai covered his light eyes and shook his head: "Don't dare!" Don't dare! ”
Su Yunran and Lan Xi helped Liang Sanhai to leave, and An Xiaoyi had been waiting for a long time in the carriage. Helping the person into the carriage, Su Yunran gave Lan Xi a look.
Lan Xi nodded, and his figure flashed and entered the gambling house again.
Liang Sanhai was beaten so that his eyes and nose were crooked, and naturally he didn't pay much attention to Lanxi. When he got into the carriage, he cried bitterly, and Su Yunran took his pulse and put some medicine on him, but before he could get drunk, Yunzhai had already fainted in pain.
The people have been redeemed, and Su Yunran asked An Xiaoyi to send the Sanfang family back to Shanghe Village. Montessori, Liang Qianyue, and Liang Qianxue all thanked her a little embarrassedly, and Su Yunran smiled: "It's okay if the person is fine, I have checked it, it is only a skin injury that does not hurt the internal organs, and it will be fine if I go back to raise it." Such a painful lesson should make the third uncle take his heart, right? ”
Montessori nodded hurriedly: "Definitely!" That's for sure! But it's a little dye...... Eight hundred taels of silver...... We didn't know ......."
Talking about money hurts feelings, Su Yunran knew what she wanted to say: "The eight hundred taels I borrowed from a friend, although she doesn't charge interest, but the money still has to be repaid as soon as possible." Even if it's one or two to pay it back, it has to be repaid. ”
Montessori smiled awkwardly: "That's that, I didn't say no, it's just that I don't know when I will pay it off." ”
Su Yunran patted the back of Meng's hand and said with a smile: "The third aunt doesn't have to worry, she can pay back as much as she wants, and there will always be a day when you pay it off." Isn't there an old saying that there is nothing difficult in the world, only those who are afraid of it? ”
Montessori smiled very stiffly, she just wanted to wait for Su Yunran to say, it's okay, let's find a way to help pay back the money. But why is Su Yunran's mouth so hard and he doesn't say this.
sent away the three-room family, and it didn't take long for Lanxi to come back.
"Madam, after you left, the person in charge hurried to a big mansion in the west of the city, and I secretly followed in, and I heard them say that they would send someone to keep an eye on the Liang family for a while. It's best to find the ledger quietly, and if you can't find it, don't act rashly. ”
Su Yunran nodded: "I know, you've worked hard, let's go back and rest first!" ”
If the people in the gambling house want to find the account book, let them find it, anyway, the account book is no longer in her hand, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they will never be able to find it.
Liang Sanhai is matter, even if it is temporarily over, the next most difficult thing is Liang Dahai's matter.
"Sister Su, Liang Dahai broke the law, can it still be solved with money?" Ah Qing's thoughts have always been simple, there are all kinds of ways in this world, and money is probably a stepping stone.
"I'm not sure, it's up to the owner of the grain store. If he withdraws the lawsuit, maybe Liang Dahai will still be saved. If he doesn't agree, it will depend on Liang Dahai's own luck. If you're lucky, you'll be locked up for a few years, and if you're unlucky, you'll be exiled directly. ”
Speaking of Liang Dahai, Su Yunran remembered another thing: "By the way, hasn't Ouyang Jing's verdict come down in the past two days?" ”
Ah Qing shook his head, if Ouyang Jing's verdict came down, the entire Hongyang would have been talking about it a long time ago. But now the person is imprisoned, but Dali Temple has not replied and I don't know what's going on.
"By the way, Sister Su, I heard that tomorrow there will be an event to meet friends in the Drunken Immortal Building, and I heard that there will be a lot of young talents! In addition, I heard that the prefect will also come to select a leader, and the leader will also receive a lottery gift from the prefect! "Ah Qing said lively, but where did Su Yunran have that mood!
"Okay, if you want to join in the fun, let Xiao Yi accompany you! I'm not going, Uncle's business hasn't been done yet, and I still have to think of a way. Su Yunran was a little distressed in his head, how to solve this matter to be perfect?
The time given to her by the judge is getting less and less, and she is afraid that she will not have time to save people if she continues to delay like this.
When Liang Hezhen came back, it was already late, and Su Yunran fell asleep with distress. He tiptoed back and carried her on the couch to the bed, but also woke her up.
"Xianggong, what did the owner say?"
Liang Hezhen sighed and said: "The owner refuses to agree, I think the uncle's prison disaster is inevitable." ”
Su Yunran nodded: "That's it, we have done our best, but breaking the law is breaking the law, and we can't do anything about it." Before coming back, I found out the latest news, and the prefect decided to make a final verdict on the uncle's case the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is also the deadline for us to raise money, and one more day of delay will increase the late fee, and the pressure will be even greater. ”
Liang Guanyu brought back the latest news overnight, but Shanghe Village at this time was a different scene.
"Mother, is this really okay?" Liang Qianyan changed her previous outfit, changed into gorgeous new clothes and brought new jewelry, and even the rouge gouache was newly bought.
Zhang looked at his slim daughter and sighed: "My Yan'er is really a big girl." This person relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and Yan'er really looks like those beautiful daughters when she dresses up like this. ”
Zhang's boasted to his daughter, and after the praise, his eyes burst into tears: "I'm a hard-working goose, if you are not desperate, my mother doesn't want you to take risks." It's okay to say if this happens, but if it doesn't, the reputation will be gone! Su Yunran's sister's matter is a precedent, my mother really can't bear it! ”
Compared with Zhang's reluctance, Liang Qianyan seemed much calmer: "Mother, don't cry, how can Su Yunli be compared to me?" She only knows that she is attached to the dragon and the phoenix, but she doesn't know how to operate, and she deserves to end up like that. For Dad's sake, it's worth the risk! ”
Tomorrow, the Drunken Immortal Building will gather a group of young talents to compete, including the son from Beijing. Liang Qianyan had already inquired about this matter clearly, and Fang Sihui, the son of Hu Nanhou, was among them.
Instead of pinning your hopes on Su Yunran, it is better to rely on yourself!
The next day, Hongyang City was bustling. Since Ouyang Jing's fall, the atmosphere in this city has been more or less depressing, and the prefect has a heart to support this activity so much.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! A luxurious carriage stopped in front of the Drunken Immortal Tower, and a richly dressed young man walked out.
The man looked up at the plaque and smiled a little contemptuously: "This is the Drunken Immortal Building?" Is the signature dish as good as it is rumored to be? ”
The little guy on the side smiled and said: "Little Hou Ye, the taste of this roast pigeon in the Drunken Immortal Building is really a must!" ”
This person is the person Liang Qianyan took the trouble to inquire about - Fang Sihui, the son of Hu Nanhou.
The Marquis of Hu Nan won the favor of the emperor with heavy troops, and this Fang Sihui was a well-known gentleman. Relying on his father's power and power, he has no one in the capital, let alone a place like Hongyang, where the emperor is far away.
As soon as Fang Sihui went upstairs, he heard a commotion from above, and when he inquired, he realized that there was a girl painting, and those talented people wrote poems according to the painting drawn by the girl.
Fang Sihui is not interested in poetry, but girl......
After eating too much fish and meat, sometimes it is inevitable to want to taste the taste of porridge and side dishes.
Fang Sihui pushed away the crowd and walked over, and saw Liang Qianyan sitting there painting from a distance.
At first glance, he felt that this posture was very ordinary, but the moment Liang Qianyan suddenly raised his head to meet his gaze, he was a little panicked and a little innocent, like a deer who had been confused and injured.
Fang Sihui's heart felt like he had been scraped by a feather, and after looking back at it, he already felt that Liang Qianyan had another style.
Fang Sihui coughed lightly, put away his squishy appearance, and walked to Liang Qianyan's side to look at her paintings.
Although Fang Sihui is an unlearned person, there are not a few paintings that he has seen since he was a child, and Liang Qianyan's paintings are really too ordinary. It's really far worse than those daughters in the capital, but her simple appearance is much cuter than those upright girls in the capital.
Fang Sihui picked up Liang Qianyan's painting and said: "Well, there are mountains and rivers but no boats, and there is a lack of artistic conception." Girl, what do you think? ”
Liang Qianyan gave a salute: "The son is elegant, and the little girl is ashamed." ”
Fang Sihui put down the scroll, picked up the pen and handed it to Liang Qianyan.
Liang Qianyan said that her painting skills were not good, and she was afraid that she would not be able to draw the lonely boat well, so Fang Sihui held her hand: "Then I'll teach you how to paint." ”
