Chapter 17: The Wolf of Zhongshan (I)

Lin Daiyu glanced at the onlookers, and asked with a faint smile, "Which of you saw that our carriage hit someone?" ”

The eyes of the masses were bright, and the evil young man naturally couldn't afford to provoke him, but there was a bloody person holding his wrist next to him, and he naturally understood that this girl was not easy to provoke, so he couldn't help but take a step back, and no one dared to stand up and say a word, not to mention, people with a little conscience knew that it was obviously the young man in front of him who colluded with the old woman to blackmail, for fear of the young man's revenge, they would not testify against Lin Daiyu, and naturally they would not help the young man to commit perjury.

Seeing that no one spoke, Lin Daiyu immediately smiled lightly, turned to look at the young man and said, "You see-there are so many people, no one has seen me hit and injured someone, but in full view of everyone, you are blocking my carriage, if you don't want to blackmail, you probably want to rob by force?" ”

"You ......" The oily-haired young man didn't expect Lin Daiyu to be so sharp-toothed, so he suddenly stopped talking, turned around and glared at everyone viciously, and asked, "Did any of you see her hit my mother?" ”

Everyone was busy retreating again, all silent, but no one was willing to come out and say a word.

"Humph!" The young man suddenly pulled a child next to him and asked, "You say, have you ever seen her carriage hit and injured someone?" ”

The child was only five or six years old, frightened by his fierce appearance, and immediately cried out with a "wow", a woman next to him hurriedly came over to snatch the child, but was pushed by him fiercely, the woman was shocked, and shouted in fear: "I saw it, I saw it, Master Zhu, please let my child go......"

"What do you see?" The young man who was called Zhu Ye asked viciously.

"I saw this girl's carriage hit ......" The woman was halfway through speaking, and when she looked up, she saw a trace of coldness swept by Lin Daiyu's shearing water, and she was shocked, but she couldn't speak.

"Hit what?" Zhu Ye threatened again, and as he spoke, he grabbed the child's neck with one hand.

But at this time, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, and couldn't help but cry out with an "ah", wiped it with his hand, and his hands were full of blood, and the woman had already taken the opportunity to snatch back her child, holding the flash crowd, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Lin Daiyu looked up at the person in front of her with a little curiosity...... is a handsome and tall young man, although his appearance is not as handsome as Jia Baoyu and the young man she saved, but between his eyebrows, there is an extra layer of heroism, and the whole person looks heroic. However, in the hands of this young man, he is now playing with a small dagger.

The dagger was not big, but against the setting sunset, it emitted a cold cold light, and at the tip of the dagger, a trace of red blood slowly fell to the ground and rolled into the dust.

Zhu Ye wanted to speak, but he desperately pressed his throat-

"Cousin...... Cousin ...... "The young man who was stabbed with scissors by Lin Daiyu just now crawled to Zhu Ye, and saw that his neck was covered with blood, and he was immediately frightened and panicked, and said loudly: "Killed...... Killed ......"

"Don't worry, he can't die!" The young man smiled indifferently, and in his smile, there was an indescribable evil spirit, "I just cut a little bit of skin on his neck, hehe......"

The few troublesome young men who had been following him saw that the situation was not good, and they were busy and wanted to run, but the young man smiled indifferently and said, "Want to go? Give it to the master and I stand and don't move, if anyone moves, don't blame the master's knife for not having eyes. ”

"Uncle, what do you want?" Zhu Ye asked tremblingly.

"How?" The evil young man continued to laugh evilly, "You guys blocked the street to get out like this, do you want to leave like this?" Don't you know what to pay in compensation? ”

Zhu Ye's face suddenly became pale, it turned out that this young man's surname was Zhu, a single name with the word "apricot", the family background was not bad, the family opened an embroidery workshop, but the father died early, and the mother only had such a child, but he was too spoiled, and developed his idle habits, and when he grew up, he gambled, drank and prostituted, and the good things were not learned, and the bad habits were all contaminated.

Soon, the originally solid house was almost defeated by him, except for the remaining two ancestral houses that were not sold, all the valuable things in the family were sold and pawned.

In the end, even the embroidery workshop maintained by her mother was mortgaged to others, and seeing that the family had no income, how could Zhu Xing, who was used to spending money lavishly, bear it? Once, when he saw a horse-drawn carriage hitting someone on the street, and he lost a lot of money, he suddenly had an idea, and he became a bad person.

Entangled with a young man who was also unproductive, he let the old lady pretend to be a victim, and then they jumped out to find the driver of the carriage to theorize. How can such a thing be explained? In order to settle the matter, the owner can only give some silver. It's also made them really successful a few times.

Moreover, their eyes are very poisonous, they are all looking for outsiders, and those who can afford to sit in a carriage are not ordinary people, they are either rich or expensive, and they generally don't care about anything.

But he never thought that he would meet a ruthless character today, first of all, Lin Daiyu's sharp teeth really surprised him, this woman was not afraid of them, and she hurt people with scissors.

Now such a ruthless character has emerged, and he has moved a knife in broad daylight, listening to his tone, it seems that killing people is not a trivial matter.

"Go and kowtow to that girl three times, and then compensate that girl a hundred taels of silver, and the matter will be settled, otherwiseβ€”don't blame my lord for not having eyes on this knife." The evil spirit youth sneered, and the threat was deep.

"One...... A hundred taels? Zhu Xing's face suddenly turned pale, let alone a hundred taels, he couldn't even take out a tael of silver.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help frowning slightly, this evil young man is even better at blackmail than the one surnamed Zhu, one hundred taels...... She studied finance, so she naturally knew the exchange ratio between silver and gold, but because the exchange ratio of all dynasties was different, according to the records of the Red Mansion, one hundred taels of gold was exchanged for one thousand taels of silver, and one tael of silver was equivalent to about three hundred yuan, so one hundred taels ...... Equivalent to RMB is 30,000 yuan, even if it is placed in the world of her previous life, it is also clear about blackmail.

"Get out of the way...... Get out of the way......" Suddenly, a commotion in the crowd was heard, and several officials ran with knives, and the onlookers got out of the way.

The chief official shouted: "I heard a report from someone here who is armed with a knife to commit murder? Who is it? ”

"My lord, help......" As soon as Zhu Xing saw those officials, as if he saw his father, he crawled over, knelt on the ground, and cried with tears and snot.

"What's going on?" The chief official said loudly.

"My lord, this woman's carriage pretended to hurt my mother, and I reasoned with them, but they actually wanted to kill people with knives, and they also extorted me a hundred taels of silver." Zhu Xing immediately cried loudly.

Lin Daiyu is now like an outsider, simply sitting in the carriage and driving leisurely. It's really strange that there are many things every year, especially this year.

"Girl, what now?" Bao Yong frowned and asked in a low voice, Originally, the person surnamed Zhu was just a ruffian, so he was not afraid, but now the young man who had just appeared was obviously not an ordinary person, and he was involved in officials, so he couldn't get it right and wanted to cause trouble.

"It's okay, let's see." Lin Daiyu stretched lazily and chuckled.

"Girl, I see...... It's a big deal. Bao Yong said in a low voice, "Then the young man who appeared later seems to be not weak in martial arts, you say, it won't be some Jiangyang thief?" If it has something to do with him, the government has the ability to say black into white and white into black, although the girl has Jiafu behind her, but now this is not the capital, if the girl has a little mistake, how can it be good? ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Zijuan and Snow Goose also nodded busily.

"Don't worry!" Lin Daiyu didn't say a word, the Jiangyang thief wouldn't have caused such trouble, this person ...... Recently, she has been following her, and she was still thinking about how to force him to show up, but this young man surnamed Zhu has helped her a lot.

Since she saved that handsome young man and left Yunyang, Lin Daiyu has keenly felt that there have always been this group of people following her behind her......

Wrong! Absolutely not! Lin Daiyu was suddenly shocked in her heart, the identity of that handsome young man, she had been thinking about it, but she had never talked about it with Zijuan Snow Goose, but there was definitely more than one person in those people......

But the evil young man in front of him is alone, aren't they in a group?

At the moment when Lin Daiyu, Bao Yong and the others were talking in a low voice, the official had already strode to the side of the evil young man and asked coldly: "Is what the person surnamed Zhu said just now true?" ”

"Half-truths." The evil young man smiled indifferently.

"Oh?" The official at the head sneered, "I don't know what is true and what is false?" ”

"The fake thing is that the girl's carriage did not hit anyone, but the old lady surnamed Zhu hit it herself; Really, I was armed with a knife to kill someone, and the blackmail was true. The evil young man smiled indifferently.

"You are very honest, since you yourself admit that you have the intention to kill, then I'm sorry, bother you to go to the yamen with us." The official at the head sneered.

"Very good, I also want to meet your county magistrate and ask him about the crime of lax governance, and actually tolerate such a ruffian to openly oppress weak women and extort money in the market." When the evil young man said such a sentence, he had a righteous face.

"How can you see the prefectural magistrate just if you say you can see it?" The official at the head sneered, "What's more, no one has reported such a thing, how can our county magistrate know about it?" ”

I highly recommend my friend Canghai Mingyue's new book - "Asking the Fairy Road", the same style as Wanqing, you can't miss it!
