Chapter 178: Scam

Xia Zixian said ruthlessly: "Now my father is still in prison, life and death are uncertain, and it is when he needs two dozen silver points, and the house is also stretched." Your lion's mouth is wide open, and one mouth is eight thousand taels of silver, which is not a small amount, and this is to empty all the savings in our house. My mother is the only one left in the house to depend on us, if we pay off this gambling debt for you, what will we do in the future? ”

"What's going on?" Dragon Boat Festival asked a little girl on the side in a low voice.

"When the uncle of the Xue family came today, he was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and there were a few fierce men behind him, saying that the uncle of the Xue family owed them a gambling debt of 8,000 taels of silver, and if he didn't pay it today, he would break the legs of the uncle and the young master.

At first, Mrs. was also annoyed, saying that her uncle was making matters worse and didn't want to care. But the uncle knelt in front of his wife and wept bitterly, and the few people next to him were scared, so his wife's heart softened and she accepted it. If it weren't for the fourth lady to stop it, the silver ticket would have been given to the uncle a long time ago. ”

An Sheng vaguely understood at this time that this was Xue Zhao's gambling debts outside, and he was being pursued, so he went to the Xia Mansion to find Xue's help. It's not early or late, it's when something happened in Xia Mansion, eight thousand taels, this Xue Zhao really dared to ask for it.

"Isn't there still me and your cousin? The two of us can support you just as well! Xue Zhao immediately took a big bag: "Besides, your father committed a heinous crime, and it is estimated that he will raid his family!" Maybe when, when the sentence is sentenced, the officers and soldiers will rush in and confiscate the money from the house! It's better to simply help us. ”

"Yes, aunt, you are also half a son of yours if you are well repaired, and your uncle will not be there in the future, and your cousin is still young, so I am the only one you can rely on. Can you bear to watch them break their nephew's leg? I've been wronged. ”

When Xue heard this, he became more and more dispossessed, covered his face with a veil, and cried bitterly.

"You raise us? Why do you feed us? Putting aside for the time being, when we are down and penniless, will you be able to fulfill your promise, first ask you, what do you rely on to support us? All these years, you have spent a lot of wine and wine, which tael of silver did not take from my mother? My Xia family is your cash cow! ”

The sharp word was the head, Xia Zixian spoke mercilessly, and every sentence slapped Xue Zhao's face.

Xue Zhao suddenly became anxious: "Sister, you can't listen to her nonsense!" The two of us are brothers and sisters who have broken bones and tendons. Over the years, it's all the brothers who have helped you. Otherwise, can you live in such a nice house with a flock of slaves? O conscience of heaven and earth! As soon as my brother-in-law leaves, but my brother and I depend on you for our lives, if my brother has any three longs and two shorts, who will help you? ”

The two big men behind him raised their eyebrows and glared angrily: "Lao Tzu doesn't have the time to listen to you sing bitter love dramas here!" Give a happy word, do you want money or death? I'll count to three, and you'll make your own decisions! ”

Xue Zhao was suddenly frightened and trembled: "Sister, help!" ”

Xue gritted his teeth: "It's just evil!" Xue Zhao, I owe you in my last life! ”

Xue Zhao's face suddenly rejoiced: "Brother, I will be a cow and a horse in my next life, and I will definitely repay my sister." ”

An Sheng stood outside the door and sneered: "Since my uncle wants to repay his mother with broken bones, then my mother will simply fulfill him now, why bother?" ”

As soon as Xue Zhao heard An Sheng's voice, he immediately became anxious, afraid that she would ruin her good deeds: "Sister, this little slut wishes that his brother is dead, and there will be no one to support you in the future, you must not listen to her, hurry up and let people drive her out." ”

An Sheng stepped into the hall, looked at the Xue family, and said coldly: "Mother, you have to think carefully, my Xia family is in danger now, and it needs to spend a lot of money up and down." If there is a need for silver in my father's case in the future, we can only do nothing. Among them, the pros and cons, the mother herself weighed. ”

Xue's hand suddenly froze, and he hesitated a little.

The knives in the hands of the two men moved forward an inch and rested on Xue Zhao's neck: "Paying off debts is justified, and Lao Tzu directly chopped him off!" ”

"Don't!" Xue Shi exclaimed: "Also, we are still here!" ”

An Sheng smiled slightly: "It is indeed natural to repay debts, but unfortunately, it is even more natural to kill people to pay for their lives." From today onwards, if anything happens to him Xue Zhao, we will believe that it is you who did it.

We are indeed in danger, but you must not forget that my uncle is still the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and it should be easy to pursue your capital crimes. ”

The two of them laughed cruelly: "Don't scare us with the official mansion, we have an IOU in our hands, but he Xue Zhao has a handprint in black and white, even if it is a fuss to the official mansion, it is still us who take advantage!" If he doesn't pay it back today, Lao Tzu will chop his leg first! ”

An Sheng was even more unhurried: "Uncle is honest with his legs." His mother can support him and ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. It's a good deal no matter how you calculate it. ”

Xue Zhao immediately became anxious: "Xia Ansheng, why are you so black-hearted?" You'd rather I die, wouldn't you? ”

An Sheng smiled meaningfully: "Am I as black as you are?" Your own sister is the most lonely and helpless time, if you don't help, you just stab her in the heart, collude with others, and take the opportunity to come to make a show and seek money! ”

"Phew, nonsense!" Xue Zhao couldn't jump up and reason with An Sheng: "Sister, this is a matter between our brothers, why don't you drive her away, let her mix here?" ”

"Pierced by my words, isn't your heart empty?" An Sheng smiled confidently, and turned his head to face the Xue family: "Mother, don't you want to think about it, he Xue Zhao is penniless, why does people let him owe so much silver?" The people who open gambling houses are not stupid! They are clearly in concert with you to cheat you out of money. ”

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent for a moment.

Xue Shi was suspicious, Xue Zhao was panicked, and Xia Zixian was surprised.

They have been struggling with whether to repay the eight thousand taels of silver for Xue Zhao, but no one has ever doubted the truth of this matter, because no one dares to believe that Xue Zhao will fall into the well at this time and harm his sister.

"Nonsense!" Xue Zhao was suddenly annoyed and angry, and jumped like thunder: "Now the knife is on Lao Tzu's neck, do you think Lao Tzu is willing?" She is my own sister, I can harm anyone, can I harm my sister? Sister, don't listen to the instigation of others, now your brother is your closest person. If something happens to me, who will sincerely help you in the future? ”

The person behind him kicked him out, picked up the kitchen knife in his hand: "Don't cry if you don't see the coffin, let Lao Tzu chop off one of your legs first, and see if they believe it or not!" ”

As the saying goes, "the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear", not to mention that Xue's is concerned and chaotic?

As soon as she stretched out her hand, she took out the silver ticket that had been prepared long ago from her arms: "I believe in it, I believe it, my subordinates are merciful, and I will pay this debt for him." ”

"Mother!" An Sheng was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "They are clearly singing double reeds to deceive people!" You can't believe it! ”

Xue Shi glanced at her coldly: "This is my own business, the Xia family is also my own family, and it is not your turn to teach me a lesson!" ”

Xia Zixian was also skeptical: "Mother, it's better to be cautious!" ”

Xue Shi also glared at her angrily: "You turned your elbow outward, didn't you?" He is your own uncle, and your father is afraid that he will not be able to count on him, who else can we orphans and widows rely on in the future? Why do you listen to her Xia Ansheng's nonsense?! ”

Xue's voice was fierce, and Xia Zixian, who was still arguing with reason, suddenly softened and didn't dare to say more.

A man stepped forward, snatched the silver ticket in Xue's hand, counted it, threw the IOU in his hand on Xue Zhao's face, and waved at those people: "No more, no less, this account is over." ”

Xue Zhao picked up the IOU, tore it to pieces in two clicks, stepped forward on his knees, hugged Xue's thigh and cried bitterly: "Sister, you are the only one in this world who is the best for your brother, and my brother will never gamble in the future, I will change my face, be a new person, and help you support this family!" ”

Xue Shi hugged Xue Zhao and also cried: "Brother, sister can only count on you in the future, you must not have any more long and two short, so how can my sister live?" ”

Several big men smiled smugly at An Sheng and walked away.

An Shengshi is weak, like a mantis arm as a car, where can it be stopped?

She smiled bitterly, unwilling to stay and continue to watch them play. Turned around and walked out of the Xia Mansion again, looking around blankly, not knowing where to go.

She sat on the steps exhausted, burying her face in the crook of her arm, feeling a deep powerlessness.

This family is about to fall apart, and the ignorant and biased Xue family can't count on it, and as the current eldest daughter of the Xia family, she is naturally obliged to support this family.

But, can it? She felt that she was overestimating herself. In the face of such a simple scam, there is nothing he can do, let alone rescue his father.

She wanted to be cold, how much she hoped that he could be by her side at this time, even if she was also helpless, she felt a lot better if she comforted her.

There were soft footsteps coming towards her, crouching beside her.

"Miss."

It's the Dragon Boat Festival.

An Sheng didn't raise his head, his voice was slightly choked, and his shoulders trembled sadly: "Dragon Boat Festival, I miss my master, and suddenly I want to." ”

Dragon Boat Festival gently pushed her: "Miss, Miss." ”

She buried her face deeper, not wanting others to see her embarrassment at this time.

A hand slowly stroked her hair, slowly, making her feel the peace of the clouds and breeze.

She slowly raised her head, her face full of disbelief: "Master? ”

Leng Nanxian squatted in front of her, Ruyu's face was warm with spring, slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and lightly opened her thin lips: "What are you crying about?" Isn't there a Master? ”

An Sheng wanted to cry, wanted to throw himself into Leng Nanxian's arms and vent hysterically, his eyes slowly turned red, and then the tears couldn't bear the grievances in his stomach, and fell down "fluttering".

"Master!"
