Chapter 108: Reckoning
In the tears, Ming Yi looked out of the room, and was looking at the two of them at the beginning, thoughtful.
"Who's that?" Hong Yi noticed the tall man outside, and asked softly in Mingyi's ear, "Is that the master of Cheng Yan?" ”
"Stop gossiping, get out of here first." Ming Yi didn't know if the martial arts master's hearing was as sensitive as on TV, so he didn't dare to gossip about him from a short distance.
The rope on Hong Yi's hand was tied very tightly, Ming Yi dragged it, and he couldn't see it clearly, and the hemp rope was rough, grinding Hong Yi straight out.
Seeing this, he picked up the young man's dagger, walked in, and with a wave of his hand, Hong Yi's hand was relieved.
Ming Yi suspects that this is a magic trick, he is not only quick and accurate, but also seems to have extraordinary night vision, is this still a person?
Mingyi helped Hong Yi up, she sat for a day, her feet were already numb, and she sat back with a sigh: "Wait a while, I'll rub my legs." ”
"I'll pinch it for you." Ming Yi sat down beside her and asked, "How to deal with this matter?" ”
Cheng Yan had already controlled the deputy hall master, and there was no loss of money, waiting for the two of them in the carriage. As for this one, what are you going to do with it? Do you want to report to the police? Shi Di Chu responded.
Ming Yi thought of the young man's pale face, frightened look and suddenly retracted hand, and hesitated a little, if he reported to the official, his small body would be killed in court in vain, not to mention, he was unwilling to testify in court, in case the matter of so much money in her hand was exposed, it would drag down Wu Qianping and threaten her own safety.
"I want to figure out why he did it." Mingyi didn't stop with his hand, and raised his face to ask for the opinion at the beginning.
Shi Chuchu nodded: "I'll wake him up in a moment." ”
At the beginning of the time, he tinkered for a while in the firewood room, tied a torch, lit it and planted it on the ground. The entire patio is clearly illuminated.
He lifted the boy up, and only squeezed it on his shoulder, and the boy opened his eyes as if he had come back to his soul.
When he awoke, he shuddered, huddled into a ball, and began to look for his dagger all over the ground.
At the beginning of the day, he shook the dagger, and the young man raised his hand to grab it and pounced. At the beginning of the time, he pinched the blade of the dagger with his fingers, like kneading a dough, easily bent the blade, broke it, and the broken blade flew behind the young man, through the wooden door, and disappeared completely.
The young man's eyes widened, and he looked back at the crack in the door, and his whole body went limp.
"Say, give me a reason not to kill you." Shi Chuchu's voice was cold, not like his usual appearance.
The boy no longer trembled, and he could not feel fear: "You can kill me." ”
At the beginning, he was stunned, this young man is really not afraid of death at this moment, and the person who is not afraid of death is the most terrifying.
Mingyi couldn't sit still and walked out.
She knew a little more about the boy than she had at the beginning, and might be able to find a way to pry him away.
She squatted down and stood in front of the young man: "I know you never wanted to hurt me and my teacher, and it's not just for money. Why did you lure out Xia Niangzi? If you ask for something, you can find her directly. I think you have a grudge against her. ”
The young man's eyes flashed, and he stubbornly refused to look at Mingyi, so he only hummed stiffly.
"You don't have to say it, we will never hurt you, we will only take you to the official. You will either be beaten to death in the halls of the government, or you will be covered in sores, festering, foul-smelling and humiliated by even more filthy death row inmates on death row...... The former allows you to die with the stigma of a bandit and face your ancestors without shame, while the latter allows you to live with greater humiliation, and life is better than death. And, the latter may be even greater. Ming Yi clearly instilled every word into the young man's ears.
This young man has a handsome face, a moderate demeanor, and his hands are soft and delicate, and he is not from a poor family. There must be a reason for taking risks, and at such an age, there must be a grudge against the family. He will be afraid to see his ancestors without face, more than death. They are even more afraid of living without dignity.
The young man bit his lip: "If I say it, I just ask this hero to give me a good time." ”
"Okay." Mingyi agreed.
The young man's surname is Xu, and his family has been doing silk business in Chang'an for generations, and he originally opened the largest silk cloth village in Xishi. Worry-free food and clothing, happy family.
The business has become bigger, and his grandfather will inevitably have some intersections with people in the officialdom, and he still regrets being protected too well, and every time his grandfather meets with those important people, he will not be present.
Until the beginning of last year, he flew into trouble, pointing directly at his grandfather for providing wealth for the border rebels, and he was beheaded. Although the nine clans were not connected, a large family was confiscated from the shop and mansion, and was driven out of the door without a name. The sick are sick, the dead are dead, and the walking is gone. In the end, he was left alone in Chang'an.
When he saw off his dead mother and returned to the Silk Village, it had been renamed Rongyifang. Everyone in the world says that Xia Niangzi's shop is not clear, and I don't know what power is behind it.
So he sneaked into Rongyifang as a kitchen helper, but unfortunately he couldn't get close to Xia Niangzi, but he just heard more rumors about Xia Niangzi, and he had a lot of relationship with the big gangs in the rivers and lakes, and there was no shortage of masters around him to protect him.
He thought about going directly to Xia Niangzi, but he was afraid that he would fall into the net, in case Xia Niangzi was an accomplice who framed his grandfather's gang, and he would not be able to protect himself.
He thought about using force, but he couldn't do it himself. With the help of others, he has no wealth, and the second is that Ming Niangzi has the protection of a big gang, and no one dares to move.
He needed a chance, a sum of silver that could make people's hearts move, and a reason for Xia Niangzi to come to see him alone.
When Ming Niangzi frequently went in and out of Rongyifang, he felt that the opportunity had come.
The first time Ming Niangzi came, Xia Niangzi personally instructed the kitchen to prepare food, and the servant said that Xia Niangzi gave Ming Niangzi all the golden maple leaves on her head.
Xia Niangzi's cherished wine, no one else gave it, but she was very willing to Ming Niangzi.
Several times, this difference made him suspicious, and even wondered if the two were tired of each other.
He did everything possible to please Mr. Xia Niangzi's trusted account room, and got a few words of news, saying that on the day of the opening of Xia Niangzi's East Market store, he wanted to cooperate with Ming Niangzi, and then Shijingfang and Rongyifang would be like a family.
He is also more or less the young master of the silk village, and he knows a little about business, so he is sure that Xia Niangzi is interested in the financial resources and century-old reputation of Ming Niangzi, and Ming Niangzi is very important to her.
Thus, a plan was formed.
Seek the people in the rivers and lakes to kidnap the Ming lady, ask for gold and silver from the gleaning fang, and use the money obtained to appease the people who do it. Ming Niangzi has not heard of the protection of the forces of the rivers and lakes, so it should be easy to start.
The one who was moved by him was the deputy hall master of the Peach Seven Gang, and once he was involved, he would not let the deputy hall master easily withdraw.
and then use Ming Niangzi as bait to lure Xia Niangzi to appear, and he can interrogate who the forces behind the Xu family are behind it in a condescending manner. This is one of them, and the other is to force Xia Niangzi to return the shop of Rong Yifang to its original owner, even if he changes his face and hides his name, he must revive the silk village to comfort Grandpa's spirit in the sky. 2k reading web
