Chapter 78 Becoming a Creditor
Although Xiao Lingxiao was angry, she had already thought that Xiao Shuyong would do this from the time she decided to report the case. She was just waiting for him to ask for money. Xiao Shuyong and the old lady were connected, they didn't mean to save people at all, they clearly wanted to secretly take away the silver in Xiao Lingxiao's hand. The note asking for ransom must also have come from them, and when Xiao Lingxiao was in a mess for Xiao Fengming's kidnapping, and prepared a ransom to ransom people, they could secretly ambush, and then kill Xiao Lingxiao to secretly transport the silver, and by the way, push the matter to the unknown robbers, which is simply killing multiple birds with one stone for them.
It's just that Xiao Lingxiao won't fall into their trap, as soon as she reports the case, Jing Zhaoyin is dispatched, and the Xiao family doesn't dare to risk pretending to be robbers. Therefore, Xiao Shuyong can only use the current method to deceive the silver first, and then find a way to buy Jing Zhaoyin, the big deal is to play a good show that can't save people, and he can't kill Xiao Lingxiao, but the silver is also in hand.
Hmph, think beautifully.
Xiao Lingxiao turned her head and saw a chair next to her, went over to sit down, and said softly, "Father, if you don't mention the silver, I will forget it." The third cousin is a member of the Xiao family, and he wants to redeem people, shouldn't the Xiao family give money? Or, simply put this account on the third uncle's head, and he will surely find a way to return it in the future. Anyway, it doesn't seem to be my turn to save my cousin with money, right? If this word spreads, what will happen if someone gossips? ”
When Xiao Shuyong heard Xiao Lingxiao's words, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "This silver is indeed from the Xiao family, but the Xiao family has a big business, and all the silver is put on business turnover, and I can't take out so much to redeem Fengming for a while." You are Fengming's cousin, take some silver to redeem his life, others will only praise you for being affectionate and righteous, and will not gossip about anything else. ”
"It's hard to say." Xiao Lingxiao said quietly, "Since I came back from the dead and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the gossip around me has not stopped. Didn't my father just say that I shouldn't have reported to the police. Lest I do anything wrong again and lose the face of the Xiao family, I think I should not participate in this matter anymore. Father, Fengming's life is all entrusted to his father. Ling Xiao retired. ”
After saying this, Xiao Lingxiao got up to leave.
Seeing this, Xiao Shuyong hurriedly got up and strode over to stop Xiao Lingxiao, and said angrily, "Are you going to watch Feng Ming send him to death?" After roaring, Xiao Shuyong put his hands behind his back, stared at Xiao Lingxiao angrily, and said in a deep voice, "You went to raise money in the morning, how much did you raise in total?" ”
Xiao Lingxiao said indifferently, "The note said that it would cost one million taels, and it was not enough for me to take out all the silver left in my hand, so I went to the owner of Wanguanzhuang to borrow some of it, and I finally got it together." ”
Xiao Shuyong couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect Xiao Lingxiao to be able to get together a million taels of silver in less than a morning, what kind of strength is this? What did the owner of Wanguanzhuang like about Xiao Lingxiao, and actually helped her like this!
Surprised, Xiao Shuyong stabilized his mind and said, "That's good, you give the silver to your father...... Speaking of this, he saw Xiao Lingxiao raising his eyes and looking at him coldly, and said, "Even if you lend this silver to your father and lend it to the Xiao family, when you redeem Fengming, your father will definitely return it to you in the future." ”
What Xiao Lingxiao was waiting for was Xiao Shuyong's words. She smiled slightly, turned her face to look at Xiao Shuyong, and said softly, "Is what my father said true?" ”
"Seriously!" Xiao Shuyong saw that Xiao Lingxiao had changed his attitude, and smiled secretly in his heart. The little girl is a little girl in the end, and she can be deceived in a few words.
But then I saw Xiao Lingxiao pointing to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and said, "Since my father wants to borrow money from me, then please write down the IOU." ”
One sentence almost stunned Xiao Shu's courage, although he hadn't heard of a father asking his daughter to borrow money, but his daughter asked his father to write an IOU, which was too much!
"Don't you believe your father!" Xiao Shuyong said angrily.
Xiao Lingxiao smiled slightly, and immediately replied, "I don't believe it." ”
When Xiao Shuyong heard this, his face suddenly turned red, he was ashamed and angry, and he couldn't wait to raise his hand and slap Xiao Lingxiao immediately. However, Xiao Lingxiao stood there, her eyes were cold and terrifying, Xiao Shuyong's hand was raised a few times, but he didn't dare to raise it.
"Good! I'll write you an IOU for my father! ”
Xiao Shuyong bit his toothbrush and really wrote an IOU, which clearly stated that the Xiao family owed Xiao Lingxiao one million taels of silver, and he would definitely repay it in the future. After writing it, he pressed his hand again and handed the IOU to Xiao Lingxiao.
Xiao Lingxiao read it carefully and put the IOU away with satisfaction. She told Xiao Shuyong that the silver ticket would be delivered in the afternoon, and she didn't care about the rest.
Coming out of the study, Xiao Lingxiao easily returned to Qinghe Courtyard, entered the inner room, and found that the protagonist of the incident, Xiao Fengming, who should have been kidnapped, was sitting at the table drinking tea unscrupulously. Xiao Lingxiao frowned and said, "You go in and out like this, in case you are seen by the narcissus and reported out, how can this play be played?" ”
Xiao Fengming gritted his teeth and whispered, "Those maids and wives are sorting out your property for you, waiting to take it out and sell it for me, they won't find out." With that, he got up and pulled Xiao Lingxiao to sit down, and said with a smile, "I heard that you have been busy with my affairs?" Thank you for your hard work. ”
Xiao Ling glanced at him, poked his forehead with her finger and pushed him away, and then summoned the divine wolf.
The wolf took the form of a human and floated out, lazily pulled up a chair and sat down, and then hooked his fingers impatiently.
Xiao Lingxiao knew that it had understood what she was going to do as soon as she saw it, so she quickly took out a silver ticket from her arms, and presented it to the wolf with respectful hands, and saw that the wolf pinched the silver ticket very arrogantly, and showed Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Fengming the front and back of the silver ticket like a magician, and then saw it raise its other hand, and as soon as its fingers moved, another silver ticket appeared out of thin air in that hand.
The god wolf held his head high, and elegantly handed the other silver ticket to Xiao Lingxiao, Xiao Lingxiao handed the silver ticket to Xiao Fengming, Xiao Fengming took a closer look and exclaimed, "It's exactly the same!" ”
The wolf snorted proudly, stood up, raised his hands to show his slender ten fingers, and then the ten fingers moved together, and he saw that the silver tickets of Bai Huahua were like playing cards in the hands of magicians, falling out of thin air in a steady stream, and soon piled up a lot on the ground.
When he felt that it was almost over, the divine wolf withdrew his hand exaggeratedly, bowed to Xiao Lingxiao very gentlemanly, and then turned his body and disappeared into a cloud of smoke.
Xiao Fengming only felt that it was magical and weird when he looked at the Divine Wolf's flowing movements, but Xiao Lingxiao knew that the Divine Wolf was just because it was too overkill and too boring for it to do this, so it was so.
But it's better to do it than not to do it, Xiao Lingxiao smiled bitterly and complained in her heart, but she didn't dare to say how good this guy's actions looked like.
The two men put away the silver tickets scattered on the ground and put them in a box. If the silver tickets here are taken out and exchanged now, they are all enough to confuse the real thing, but as long as the divine wolf launches a spell, these silver tickets will instantly disappear.
Xiao Lingxiao called Bao Rong'er and asked her to personally give the silver ticket to Xiao Shuyong, and asked him to confirm it and then type a note back. After Bao Rong'er went out with the wooden box, Xiao Fengming rubbed to Xiao Lingxiao's side again and said, "If you put so much effort into it, the Xiao family will not pay you back." ”
Xiao Lingxiao snorted coldly, showed the IOU written by Xiao Shuyong, and said, "In the future, I will be the creditor of the Xiao family, and when the time comes, even if they let them smash their bones and sell their marrow, I will take back this silver!" ”
Xiao Fengming couldn't help but sneer when he saw Xiao Lingxiao pinching his waist with one hand and swearing an IOU with the other. Xiao Lingxiao glanced at him, frowned and said angrily, "You don't believe it? Xiao Fengming hurriedly waved his hand, "I believe it, I believe it." Xiao Lingxiao heard him say this, so she got up and put away the IOU.
When Xiao Lingxiao came back and sat down, he listened to Xiao Fengming say, "Being so disturbed by Xiao Shuyong and the old lady, Lingxiao, you went to Jingzhaoyin to report the case again, it is estimated that the eldest lady must be angry now." ”
Xiao Lingxiao smiled when she heard this, "You can't move her now, it's okay to be angry." ”
"Can't touch her?" Xiao Fengming was stunned when he heard this, then thought of something, and nodded clearly.
At this time, Xiao Lingxiao hooked her fingers at Xiao Fengming, picked the corners of her mouth and smiled in his ear and said a few words, Xiao Fengming's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing it. I didn't expect Xiao Lingxiao to calculate that point, it seems that the old lady and Xiao Shuyong have helped them a lot!
"The eldest lady's ......," Xiao Fengming asked.
Xiao Lingxiao smiled smugly, "I've already sent someone to watch." ”
At this time, in the courtyard of the eldest lady, after a burst of angry scolding, a group of maids and women came out of the house with tears in their eyes.
The eldest lady held her waist with one hand and the arm of the chair with the other, suppressing the anger in her heart.
The good things I planned were unexpectedly mixed up like this by the old lady and Xiao Shuyong! Those two money-greedy old things, who are sanctimonious on weekdays, encounter this kind of thing, they are like mosquitoes that smell blood, and they rush up regardless of it. If Xiao Lingxiao's silver is in their hands, maybe the gang over there will have to make a difference! In case they really exchanged Xiao Fengming for silver, wouldn't it be that the bamboo basket was empty!
The eldest lady slapped the armrest of the chair fiercely, and she couldn't wait to go to the old lady and quarrel with Xiao Shuyong immediately.
But she was in the dark for the whole thing, and if she went out now, she would ruin the next crucial move. Therefore, the eldest lady can only endure and can only sprinkle her anger on her subordinates.
The eldest lady sat there angrily, thinking about it, but she still felt that it was inappropriate. The things she has assigned are not easy to implement, and there must be no mistakes. Thinking of this, the eldest lady got up with difficulty, went to write a note with her stomach, called her confidant, and sent the note out.
As soon as the eldest lady's henchman left the courtyard, a dark shadow followed closely.
