Chapter 389: Paying Money with One Hand and Handing Over People
Xiao Man, who was already on the verge of collapse, made the Zhou family's mother and daughter make such a fuss, and her head hurt even more, she took a deep breath, and before she could speak, she saw Lu Li on the side suddenly step forward and take out the Zhou family's mother and daughter one by one.
Everyone present was stunned.
I saw Lu Li carrying one in one hand, like a little chicken, and drove the Zhou family's mother and daughter out effortlessly.
Xiao Man was not at ease, so he hurriedly followed, and watched Lu Li directly carry the mother and daughter of the Zhou family to the gate of the county lord's mansion, and then shook off the two, turned around and came back without saying anything, and by the way, he also asked the little man guarding the door to close and lock the door.
Fortunately, Lu Li didn't use much strength, so the mother and daughter of the Zhou family did not fall to the ground, but it still took a while for the two to react - they were driven out.
"Mother!" Zhou Xiaoxiao trembled with anger, and shouted without image while stomping her feet: "What do you say this is called!" Kind intentions to help them, but what do you think we have become now? I'm! ”
was kicked out, of course, it had nothing to do with Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Xiaoxiao at this time just wanted to find an opportunity to vent her dissatisfaction.
But why wasn't Mrs. Zhou angry and dissatisfied?
She shouted angrily in displeasure: "It's done! Stop shouting! Do you want to attract the whole city and see how we are embarrassed? Stop shouting! ”
"We didn't do anything wrong, why did they kick us out?!" Where did Zhou Xiaoxiao take care of this, she gritted her teeth and looked at the gate of the county lord's mansion, and rushed directly to smash the door in a fit of anger, shouting while smashing: "Open the door!" You must apologize to us! Otherwise, we will go to the yamen to sue you!" ”
Seeing her daughter making a lot of noise in front of the county lord's mansion, making no image at all, Mrs. Zhou naturally couldn't stand it, she rushed up with an arrow step, and dragged Zhou Xiaoxiao down with great effort.
After all, she has experienced a lot of things, and she knows that no matter how serious the consequences of her willfulness are, let alone how they can afford to provoke the county lord?
A few days ago, they offended Mrs. Zhang, it was because they could still count on Su Xiaoman, the backer, but now if they offended Su Xiaoman on impulse, they would have no room to retreat!
Mrs. Zhou pulled Zhou Xiaoxiao and persuaded her bitterly: "It's almost done!" Xiaoxiao, don't forget, you still have to count on the county lord for your marriage! If you offend her now, do you still want to get married? ”
"If you don't marry, you won't marry!" Zhou Xiaoxiao was also extremely angry, so much so that she said such a thing.
She has lived for so many years, and no one has ever dared to treat herself like this, she actually took herself out like a chicken, and in front of so many maids and subordinates, she threw herself out without pity, which is too embarrassing!
Saying that she would not marry was just Zhou Xiaoxiao's angry words, but this sounded like five thunders to Mrs. Zhou, who was originally just frowning and helpless, she immediately pulled down her face, pressed Zhou Xiaoxiao's shoulder with a pale face, and reprimanded: "Zhou Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about?" Why don't you get married? If you don't marry for such a trivial matter, won't I train you in vain with so many mothers? ”
"Mother!" Zhou Xiaoxiao was still angry, she stomped her feet, her face was red with anger, she pointed to the gate of the county lord's mansion with one hand, and said angrily: "You forgot how we were kicked out?!" How could I swallow this breath! ”
Looking at her daughter's angry appearance, Mrs. Zhou sighed, pressed the other party's shoulder, and persuaded: "Xiaoxiao, my mother knows that you are angry, but there must be a limit to anger, right?" You went to slam the door and scold the county lord, now you are angry, not angry, but what about the future? What should we do? ”
As soon as she said this, Zhou Xiaoxiao was deflated, and she lowered her head and did not speak.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou struck while the iron was hot, took Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand and prepared to go back, saying: "The county lord is now anxious about the affairs of the prince and Miss Wang, let's not go and make trouble, wait for the prince and them to come back from the hands of the bandits, let's go to Daoxi, the county lord will definitely not have this attitude at that time, right?" ”
"What's more, we are here to send money to the county lord today, she is doing this a little too much, but as long as she reacts, she will remember how our mother and son sent charcoal in the snow, and when the time comes, can the county lord still do this to us?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Xiaoxiao realized her mother's purpose for doing this, and her attitude was a little better, "Okay, but we can't be angry today!" I've grown so big, when have I ever been humiliated by a lowly maid? After a few days, I'm sure I'm going to get this account back! ”
Mrs. Zhou stretched her tone and said "hey", and said with a smile: "That's it, the maid is a maid, you can't hate the county lord, after all, we still have to count on her now, right?" ”
Saying that, the mother and daughter of the Zhou family left the county lord's mansion and went to the direction of the inn where they lived.
In the county lord's mansion, Lu Li sorted out the silver tickets and prepared to take the silver tickets to ransom people early the next morning, while Xiao Man took Pearl and others back to the front hall and asked what happened before.
As soon as it came to finding one, Jade couldn't sit still, she snorted indignantly, and her little face was red with anger, "Madam, we really didn't say anything, it was that Miss Zhou who misunderstood herself, and she had to say that we humiliated her!" ”
Saying that, Pearl also echoed: "What Jade said is true, the two of us were talking in a low voice at that time, it was Miss Zhou who had to come over, and she had to stuff the silver ticket into us, because Mrs. had instructed her before leaving, she couldn't take her money, so I didn't dare to ask for it, but because we didn't ask for her money, Miss Zhou had to accuse us of scolding her quietly." ”
"Humph! There are more strange people I see on weekdays, but it's the first time I've seen someone like Zhou Xiaoxiao who took the initiative to come forward to scold! Jade was so angry that she didn't hide her words.
Seeing this, Xiao Man sighed and said helplessly: "As long as you don't take the initiative to make trouble, we won't have anything to do with them in the future." ”
Hearing this, Pearl and Jade glanced at each other, and then asked cautiously: "Didn't Madame promise Mrs. Zhou before to introduce a suitable husband to Zhou Xiaoxiao?" What if they cut off contact and they come to the door again? ”
Jade was also worried: "Yes, madam, do you think, they can still do such a thing to their dear relatives Mrs. Zhang, let alone you?" If you really want to cut off contact, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”
"I'll think about this matter myself, you guys go and get busy with yourself first." Xiao Man hung his head, supported his forehead with one hand, and waved his hand at the two of them weakly, signaling them to leave.
There have been too many things happening in the past few days, and the two of them also know that Xiao Man is now suffering from unimaginable pain and pressure from ordinary people, so they only bowed quietly when they saw this, and they both quietly retreated.
There was only one person left in the room, and she sat on the chair and thought about it for a long time, her thoughts were chaotic, and she couldn't stop worrying in her heart.
Tomorrow to meet the bandits, will they keep their promise? Will Wangshu and Youhe come back safely? There is also the poison that Wang Youhe was fed, the thieves won't give her a fake antidote, right?
All kinds of messy thoughts filled Xiaoman's mind, so that she couldn't do things well all day, and until the evening, she couldn't rest assured, so she thought about it all night, and her eyes were red until the next morning.
Lu Li had already packed all the silver tickets, divided them into a stack for every 100,000 silver tickets, and then wrapped the 600,000 taels of silver tickets in a black cloth bag, took Xiaoman out of the house, and went to the alley mentioned in the thief's letter to trade.
In fact, Lu Li wanted to go alone, but Xiao Man couldn't rest assured, and under the other party's begging, Lu Li was still ruthless and took Xiao Man away.
When the two arrived at the alley, because it was still early, the sun had not yet shone into the alley, and the whole alley was dark, coupled with a layer of foggy water vapor unique to the early morning, which covered the entire alley with a veil of mystery.
Xiao Man subconsciously clenched Lu Li's big palm, and a heart in his chest was pounding.
Xu felt Xiaoman's nervousness, and Lu Li comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
As soon as the words fell, before Xiao Man could react, a black shadow flashed, bringing a slightly cool wind, which provoked the broken hair in Xiao Man's ears to float with the wind for a moment.
Xiao Man, who was already scared and nervous, was even more frightened, she bit her lip, forcibly endured the scream in her throat, her body trembled and approached Lu Li, her calves trembled non-stop, and she no longer had the strength and courage to move forward.
"Who?" Lu Li asked in a deep voice.
After a while, a low and slightly hoarse male voice sounded around: "Did you bring the money?" ”
This voice seemed to come from all directions, and it seemed that the other party was speaking in his ear, so that Lu Li couldn't judge the location of the speaker for a while, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and responded in a deep voice: "600,000 taels of silver tickets, a lot of money." ”
As he spoke, Lu Li untied the cloth bag tied to his body, clenched it in his hand, and then shook it in the air.
In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow flashed again.
This time, the black shadow was closer to the two of them, and it was specifically aimed at the cloth bag, but the other party didn't seem to want to snatch the cloth bag at all, but wanted to confirm that the cloth bag was indeed a silver ticket
Seeing all this, Xiao Man's almost whole body was attached to Lu Li's body, and after seeing that the black shadow did not snatch the cloth bag containing the money, she opened her eyes nervously, wanting to see the next move of this figure.
But unexpectedly, the surroundings were quiet again, and Xiao Man could no longer hear any other sound except for his own breathing.
Lu Li also stopped shaking the cloth bag, still in a state of vigilance, he looked around, and said calmly: "Pay the money with one hand and hand over the person with the other, you have determined that the silver ticket is in this cloth bag, what about the person?" You should have let us know that the three of them were here, right? How else can we trust you? ”
