Chapter 870: Why Bother with Today (Second Update)

Every year, there are dozens of such 'disasters' alone.

In addition, the amount of silver claimed is conservatively estimated to be several hundred taels.

"Where is the quarry?" She then asked.

The merchant said: "In a place called Guiziling on the border between Wanghai County and Huguang County, Guiziling is strictly the boundary of Huguang County. ”

Yang Ruoqing asked some things about Brother Leopard and his party.

I already have a rough idea in my mind.

"I have confessed everything that should be confessed, and I have confessed what should not have been confessed. Can you two spare my life? ”

The merchant asked sadly.

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang glanced at each other.

Luo Fengtang, who had been silent, finally spoke up.

"Even if we don't kill you, are you sure you'll make it back alive?" He asked.

It's like Brother Leopard, they are not ordinary people who seek money and kill people.

It's an organized, disciplined team.

And in order to control the people under his command not to reveal secrets, he also let the team hide poison in their mouths.

How sinister!

Hearing Luo Fengtang's question, the merchant was obviously at a loss and fell into a deeper panic.

"I helped the abuse, and I deserved to die, but it's a pity that my widowed mother in my family ......"

"I'm the one who caused them ......"

Speaking of this, the merchant actually shed tears.

Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing frowned and said, "I knew why I had to do it today." ”

The merchant shook his head: "I was also forced to make a living before I was fooled by Huang Laojiu." ”

"Huang Laojiu, everyone calls him the smiling fox."

"He pretended to treat me well, and even gave my home address and sent money, food, and supplies to my widowed mother."

"I broke through the nasty things they did and wanted to get out of the quarry."

"Brother Leopard built a big yard, saying that he was taking my mother there to enjoy happiness, I know that he controlled my mother in disguise, so as to drive me."

"Woo...... Mother, it's the son who is not filial! ”

Speaking of grief, the merchant broke down and wept bitterly.

Yang Ruoqing frowned: "The man bleeds without tears, if you cry again, I will cut your tongue!" ”

The merchant didn't dare to cry, his shoulders were still shaking.

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said to him: "Do you want to get rid of the control of that group of people and take your mother away and fly away?" ”

The merchant looked up in astonishment.

"I've always dreamed of it, but I haven't been able to find a chance!"

Yang Ruoqing hooked her lips: "As long as you obediently cooperate with us, you can reunite your mother and son." ”

……

The merchant was temporarily detained in the firewood room in the backyard of the restaurant.

Luo Fengtang asked Yang Ruoqing: "What should I do next?" ”

Yang Ruoqing said: "I am thinking about it......"

Luo Fengtang said again: "Do you believe this merchant's words?" ”

Yang Ruoqing said: "I am skeptical. ”

Luo Fengtang groaned: "People who can hide poison in their mouths and bite poison to death without hesitation at a critical moment should not be underestimated." ”

Yang Ruoqing nodded, agreeing with his words.

"Tang Yanzi, I want to go to Huguang County." She said suddenly.

Luo Fengtang raised his eyebrows: "You can't rush to the quarry......"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "Don't worry, I won't run away from the merchant's words, it's brainless." ”

"Then what are you going to do in Huguang County?" Luo Fengtang asked again.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Find Zuo Junmo." ”

"First, he provided the mules, horses and carts of the convoy, and when I agreed to do business together, I had to send him the silver dividends."

"Second, the merchant hasn't gone back, and someone will definitely be sent over there to investigate, I don't like to sit still."

"I want to ask Zuo Junmo to help, first check the matter of the quarry, and then make a decision!"

Knowing himself and knowing that he is invincible, Zuo Junmo is a native of Huguang County.

He was a great local squire and had a wide range of contacts, so it was right to let him help.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's analysis, Luo Fengtang nodded.

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

……

When they were on the road, the two originally planned to go directly to Zuojiazhuang to find Zuo Junmo.

I happened to have lunch in a restaurant in Huguang County, and I met Zuo Junmo, who also came here to eat.

"Sister Qing'er, Brother Fengtang, why are you here?"

Zuo Junmo saw these two people with a happy smile on his face.

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were also very happy.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Brother Zuo, we are here to find you. I was going to visit your house, but I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence. ”

Zuo Junmo smiled heartily: "This is fate." ”

"Come on, come on, I've booked a private room, let's go upstairs and talk while eating!"

Zuo Junmo beckoned the two of them upstairs and entered a private room.

After sitting down, he first asked Luo Fengtang about some things in the army, and the two men talked happily.

It wasn't until Xiao Er served the food that the topic was stopped.

Soon, the food and drinks were all on the table, and the table was full.

Yang Ruoqing took a look, wow, fragrant and spicy, all of them were her favorite flavors.

Zuo Junmo, a good person!

She swallowed hard.

But with an impulse, he said to Zuo Junmo: "Brother Zuo, I came to Huguang County this time, I have something to tell you......

Zuo Junmo raised his hand to interrupt Yang Ruoqing's words: "It's a big thing, you have to fill your stomach first." Let's move our chopsticks! ”

If you heard it right, just now, this girl's stomach has been screaming several times.

Zuo Junmo smiled and motioned for Yang Ruoqing to raise his chopsticks.

Here, Luo Fengtang also glanced at the dazzling array of dishes in front of him.

A hint of surprise passed through my heart.

He remembered a long time ago when he went to Zuo Junmo's house for dinner.

The dishes during the banquet were all light in taste, and some even had added sugar.

Why did the flavor change so much this time?

Looking at the other side, Yang Ruoqing couldn't wait to eat a chopstick dish.

Praise while eating.

But Zuo Junmo sat on the side and watched with a smile.

Luo Fengtang was stunned.

The owner of the left village originally took care of Qing'er's taste, so he ordered the spicy dishes on this table.

"Brother Fengtang, you can eat it too!"

Zuo Junmo saw that Luo Fengtang didn't move his chopsticks, so he was surprised and hurriedly greeted.

Luo Fengtang came back to his senses, smiled at Zuo Junmo, and also put a piece of prawns on the plate in front of him.

Slender and clean fingers, neatly peeling the shrimp shell.

After peeling the red shrimp meat, he dipped a little of the hot sauce on the side and rolled it in the garlic foam again.

Finally, it was sandwiched into Yang Ruoqing's bowl.

Yang Ruoqing ate happily, raised her eyes to look at Luo Fengtang, and smiled at him.

Luo Fengtang smiled softly, unconcealing the doting in his eyes.

"Eat slowly, don't get stuck." He advised.

"Uh-huh!"

She responded vaguely.

He buried his head and struggled with the dishes in the bowl.

Luo Fengtang put another piece of fish meat on the plate, and used chopsticks to remove the thorns in the meat one by one.

Then put the fish on the plate in front of her.

Zuo Junmo saw all this in his eyes.

I was secretly surprised.

Brother Fengtang is a person who is quiet and silent, and his mind is so delicate and so considerate to Qing'er.
