Chapter 12 Pressing the Knife
Xi Laosan held the account book in both hands, turned his head and looked at Xi Yan: "Hey, I said you girl, no matter what you say, it's your third uncle." What kind of system are you like this! ”
"He said mine?" Xi Yan was stunned for a moment, frowned, and turned her head to look at Xi Yu.
Xi Yu looked at Xi Yan and nodded slightly.
"They recognize me?" Xi Yan saw Xi Yu nodded again, pursed her lips and frowned, turned her head to look at them, and looked down at the notebook in her hand.
"That, I paid a deposit of three million and asked the second child to buy me the goods, as well as my three hundred brocade cloths, which he shipped to the capital to sell. Haven't given me any money until now. Xi Laosan looked down at the book, said, looked up at everyone, looked down at the book in his hand, and then raised his head and glanced at everyone: "Okay, I'm done!" ”
Boss Xi squinted at Xi Laosan, and sat down with interest.
Boss Xi looked at Xi Yan and Xi Yu and grinned, clenched the chair with both hands, stood up, turned around and saluted the county lord who was closed and pretended to sleep, and then turned to face Xi Yan and them.
"Are you giving money? Or do you want to take the shop? Boss Xi put his hands behind his back, bowed his waist, stretched his head to look at Xi Yu, and then turned his head to look at Xi Yan.
Xi Yan glanced at Boss Xi with slanted eyes, and turned her head to look elsewhere.
Xi Yu lowered his head and pondered for a while, raised his head, and saluted Boss Xi and the county magistrate with both hands, as well as Xi Laosan.
Xi Yu got up and looked at the three of them, with one hand clenched behind his fist behind him, and the other hand hanging down to his side, looking at the three of them with his head up: "I will pay back these accounts of my uncle, but not now, please ask my uncle to give my nephew some time." ”
"But our business is not doing well this year, and we urgently need money! Xi Yu, look at it, it's okay to use your shop! Boss Xi turned his head to look at Xi Laosan, and looked at Xi Yu and Xi Yan with a smile.
"I said you don't understand, or what's going on?" Xi Yan looked at Xi Yu who lowered her head and pursed her mouth, raised her eyes and glared at Boss Xi, and took a step towards Boss Xi as she spoke, blocking Xi Yu behind her.
"You! It's really unseemly! Boss Xi gritted his teeth and glared at Xi Yan, flicked his sleeves, turned his head to look at the maid behind him, and glared back at Xi Yan: "Come on, arrest her for me." If you're talking, slap me in the face! ”
"You dare!" Xi Yan instantly raised her hand and pointed at Boss Xi.
"Eldest sister!" Xi Yu reached out and grabbed Xi Yan's hand, pressed Xi Yan's hand, pulled it to his side, and looked up at Boss Xi: "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's that I left the box where the title deed was put on the carriage just now, why don't you send someone to get it, let's discuss how to deal with your affairs!" ”
"Really?" Xi Laosan stood up with a chair and stretched out his head to look at Xi Yu.
Xi Yu looked at them and nodded seriously, Xi Yan heard the sound, turned her head to look at Xi Yu, and reached out and gently tugged at Xi Yu's sleeve.
Xi Yu turned his head to look at Xi Yan who was standing behind him, and lowered his head slightly: "Eldest sister, it's okay." If you don't give them the money today, they won't let us go! ”
"Oh! I don't understand you either, so you can do it yourself! Xi Yan nodded slightly, loosened Xi Yu's sleeves, raised her feet and took a step forward, standing beside Xi Yu.
Xi Yu looked at Xi Yan standing beside him, the corners of his mouth rose and smiled lightly, and he looked back at Boss Xi and them.
"Give! Your baggage is here! The outline turned around and took the three burdens from the hands of the family behind him, and threw them vigorously at the feet of Xi Yan and Xi Yu.
"I'm not talking about baggage, I'm talking about boxes!" Xi Yu glanced down at the burden under his feet, pursed his lips and sighed, and looked up at the outline.
"We've searched the wagon! There were no boxes, just two baggage and one open baggage. The outline glanced at Xi Yu and turned his head to look at Xi Laosan.
Xi Laosan turned his head to look at the outline, lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, and turned his head to look at the family behind Boss Xi.
Boss Xi looked at the third brother and turned his head to look at the big cow.
"Master, we didn't get into the carriage, and we didn't search the carriage." Da Niu hurriedly raised his hand and saluted Boss Xi.
Boss Xi nodded, turned his head to look at Xi Laosan, and then quickly turned his head to look at Xi Yan and Xi Yu, and his body also turned over.
"I remember getting into the carriage!" Xi Yu stared at him, and turned his head to look at Xi Yan as he spoke.
"I don't know, I just thought about running away, how can I remember what I took!" Xi Yan pursed her lips, grimaced, and shook her head at Xi Yu gently.
"Go, search them!" Boss Xi raised his hand and pointed at Xi Yu and Xi Yan.
"You dare!" Xi Yan raised her head and glared at Boss Xi, glanced at everyone after speaking, grabbed Xi Yu's arms with both hands, moved a step slightly behind Xi Yu, grabbed Xi Yu's sleeves with both hands, tilted her head, and looked at Boss Xi: "You are breaking the law, do you know?" ”
"Huh! Violate the law? The county magistrate, who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at Xi Yan with a smile: "Lao Tzu is sitting here well, how did they break the law?" ”
"They searched us without our consent." Xi Yan lay on Xi Yu's shoulder, glanced at Boss Xi, and turned her head to look at the county master.
"Huh! What kind of law are you talking about? What nonsense! The county magistrate glanced at Xi Yan and turned his head to look at Boss Xi: "Master Xi, the old man still hopes that you can finish it quickly!" ”
"Yes, yes, what the county master said!" Boss Xi hurriedly saluted the county magistrate, and turned his head to look at the family: "Hurry up and search." ”
Xi Laosan glanced at Boss Xi's side, turned his head and glanced at the outline, raised his hand and waved: "You guys also go search!" ”
Xi Yan lay behind Xi Yu, looked at the big bull and the outline who came over, gritted her teeth angrily, let go of Xi Yu, clenched her fists with both hands, and stared at the family who came over with a cold face.
Xi Yu closed his eyes helplessly, and put his fists at his side with both hands.
Da Niu and the outline walked in front of Xi Yu, and raised their hands to touch Xi Yu's arm.
Two family members walked up to Xi Yan, looked at Xi Yan's fierce eyes staring at them, stopped, and turned their heads to look at each other.
"What are you doing! Hurry up and search, I see the box is on that girl! Xi Laosan watched Xi Yan confront the two family members, and raised his hand to point at Xi Yan.
Hearing this, the two family members turned their heads, raised their hands, and leaned towards Xi Yan.
Xi Yan looked at the family, slowly retreated back, and when she saw that the family was about to pounce, she raised her foot to one of the family, kicked over, and then ran behind Boss Xi.
A family member bent over and covered his stomach, turned around and watched Xi Yan run away, gritted his teeth and straightened his body, and chased after another family member.
Seeing Xi Yan running over, the family members behind Boss Xi took a few steps back, Xi Yan happened to run behind the middle county master, glanced at the guard who was about to hide back, took a step forward, stretched out his hand and pulled out the guard's knife, turned around and put the knife on Boss Xi's neck.
"Stop, stop me!" Xi Yan looked at everyone and shouted.
Everyone looked at Xi Yan, the family members of the eldest master's family, clenched the stick in their hands, and Da Niu also turned to look at Xi Yan, his face was cold, and he turned around and stood in place. Xi Laosan also stood up and looked at them expressionlessly.
Xi Yu looked at Xi Yan, let go of her clenched hand, opened her mouth, raised her hand slightly, and then closed her mouth again, put down her hand, and stared at Xi Yan intently.
Xi Yan held Boss Xi hostage, and turned her head to look at the county master who had already sat up: "Didn't you say that you don't care if you don't die!" So you don't care now? ”
"You put the knife down!" The county magistrate raised his hands, bowed down to Xi Yan, and glanced at the guards beside him as he spoke.
The guard nodded lightly and slowly leaned towards Xi Yan.
"I won't let them go, you tell them all to go out, and then find us a carriage!" Xi Yan held a knife in one hand, across Boss Xi's neck, and grabbed Boss Xi's shirt with the other.
"Good, good! We all listen to you! ”
"Ahh As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, Xi Yan was grabbed by the guards by the placket and wrist around her neck.
Xi Yan turned her head to look, and the person who suddenly appeared behind her, gritted her teeth and endured the wrist that was pinched by him, and the knife that was originally across Boss Xi's neck was also moved to the side by holding his hand, and the county magistrate stood up directly.
Xi Yan squinted and glared at the guard who was grabbing her, then gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, with a click, the knife fell to the ground, the guard pushed hard to the side, and Xi Yan was pushed to the ground at once.
"Good! For the sake of family affection, I didn't want to hurt you, but you wanted to kill me. Boss Xi raised his hand and rubbed his neck, bent down to pick up the knife that fell in front of him, and looked up at Xi Yan, who was sitting on the ground rubbing his wrists.
"Uncle!" Xi Yu pushed away the big bull in front of him and ran to Xi Yan, who was sitting behind the chair.
"Why are you going to die for her? Hehe! All right! But not now, as long as you hand over all the title deeds, I will send you away with kindness! Boss Xi turned to look at Xi Yu, ran to Xi Yan, and opened his arms to protect Xi Yan.
"The box is on the carriage from before, you can take someone to search for it, I will give you whatever you want, as long as you don't kill my eldest sister!"
"Huh! All right! Then you can come with us to find it! Boss Xi said and turned his head to look at the family next to him: "Come on, arrest him for me." ”
The two family members walked quickly behind Xi Yu, raised their hands to grab Xi Yu's arm, and pulled them to the side.
"Let go of me, let go of me!" Xi Yu turned his head and glanced at the family who grabbed him, struggling hard.
"Since you're so disobedient, let's go first!" Boss Xi looked at Xi Yan with a smile and slowly raised the knife in his hand.
Xi Yan glanced up at Boss Xi, then pursed her lips and closed her eyes tightly. 'Die! Maybe I'll be able to go back. I haven't received my job yet! ’
Xi Yu struggled with his arms and shouted at Boss Xi. Everyone looked at Boss Xi silently.
