Chapter 18: No Tears When You Don't See a Coffin
Sure enough, in this era of cold weapons, women are often used as political victims.
Not far away, there was the sound of horses' hooves.
"Here they are."
Chu Xiuyi stood up, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and said to Xiao Ruoxi.
Hearing this, Xiao Ruoxi also stood up, patted the dirt on his clothes, and looked at the five people who came over.
"Master."
Several people knelt down and saluted Chu Xiuyi in unison.
"Hmm."
Chu Xiuyi responded lightly, turned to look at Xiao Ruoxi, and said:
"Do you know how to ride a horse?"
Xiao Ruoxi was stunned: "I can ride." ”
In her era when transportation was developed, it was not good to ride a horse at all.
Hearing this, Chu Xiuyi has a black line, he has only heard of driving, what is this cycling?
"Leave a horse behind, and you can send Miss Mercy back!"
Chu Xiuyi instructed those people, he could only take one person at most on horseback, but not two people.
"Yes."
"Miss, Lianxiang wants to go with you."
Seeing that she wanted to separate her from her own young lady, she was definitely unwilling.
"Lianxiang, go back first! I'm fine. ”
Of course, Xiao Ruoxi knew that Lian Xiang was worried about what danger she would have alone, but with Chu Xiuyi's bodyguard, what danger could there be, besides, in the current situation, bringing Lian Xiang was indeed a burden.
If Lian Xiang knew Xiao Ruoxi's thoughts, she would probably be angry, obviously worried that her master was worried to death, but she was regarded as a burden in turn.
"Oh well! Miss, you must be careful in everything. ”
Of course, Lianxiang also understood the current situation, so she could only pout her lips and not follow.
"His Royal Highness King Yi, please take care of my young lady."
Lian Xiang asked Chu Xiuyi again.
"Don't worry! Your young lady will never be fine in my hands. ”
Chu Xiuyi said super confidently, but he was afraid that Lianxiang would not believe it.
Time couldn't stand the delay, and after Chu Xiuyi arranged everything, he took Xiao Ruoxi and rode away on a horse.
Inside Tong Ren Tang.
"I said shopkeeper, you'd better be sensible, tell me honestly, who did you sell the musk in this shop? Otherwise......"
Xiao Ruoxi pressed a dagger against the neck of the shopkeeper of Tongrentang, forcing the shopkeeper into a corner, and between the lines, it was full of threats.
She went around for most of the day, and finally came to this Tongrentang, but she didn't expect this shopkeeper to resist death, her patience was not good, and the only bit of patience had been exhausted.
"Ouch hey...... This girl! Not me...... I don't want to tell you, I really can't say it! ”
The shopkeeper who was forced to be in the corner was so frightened by Xiao Ruoxi's sudden momentum that he began to stutter even when he spoke.
Chu Xiuyi, who was on the side, was leisurely watching this scene.
I really didn't expect that this Xiao Ruoxi would have such a fierce side, which is a little different from the rumored second miss of the Xiao family who only cries when she encounters things, and is useless!
"You can't say yes, can you? Okay, that girl won't be able to say it for the rest of your life. ”
As he spoke, the dagger in Xiao Ruoxi's hand was a little closer to the boss's neck, and he could clearly see that a thin blood mark had been drawn on the shopkeeper's neck.
"Don't, don't, I say I'll say."
Obviously feeling the pain in his neck, the shopkeeper immediately spoke, preventing Xiao Ruoxi's further movements, if the dagger came down a little more, his little life would be over.
Hearing this, the dagger in Xiao Ruoxi's hand stepped back a little.
"Say it!"
Xiao Ruoxi looked at the shopkeeper in front of her with contempt, was she really joking?
Seeing that the danger on his neck was relieved a little, the shopkeeper took a deep breath of fresh air, and suddenly changed to an extremely aggrieved face, and said:
"Girl, it's not that I won't say it! But the man said, if I dare to say it, he will kill me! ”
"Huh?"
Xiao Ruoxi's eyes widened: "You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" ”
As he spoke, the dagger in his hand was a little deeper than just now, and blood was obviously flowing down the shopkeeper's neck.
"Okay, okay, I say, I say."
The shopkeeper is really panicked this time, he is really miserable, how can he meet these bullies! Forget it, he admits that it is important to save his life for a while.
"Hurry up, or my knife won't have eyes."
After the last lesson, this time, Xiao Ruoxi's dagger was still against the shopkeeper's neck, and it did not loosen in the slightest.
The shopkeeper also knew that Xiao Ruoxi was really serious this time, so naturally he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately said:
"Musk is a precious thing, and there are very few people who usually buy it, but about a month ago, a son came to me and bought some."
"What does that boy look like?"
Seeing that the shopkeeper finally spoke, Xiao Ruoxi continued to ask.
"This ...... I didn't notice it at the time. ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he felt a trace of pain in his neck, and immediately changed his words:
"Oops...... The man had a black mole between his eyebrows. ”
"If you don't say it, it's over! Why do you have to let yourself suffer this sin? ”
Xiao Ruoxi put away the dagger and said with a relaxed face.
When the shopkeeper heard this, did he really want to cry without tears, and suffer sin? Isn't his suffering also due to Xiao Ruoxi? is a good woman, she is like a bully, see who dares to ask you in the future, the shopkeeper looked at Xiao Ruoxi with great grievance.
Xiao Ruoxi also knew that the shopkeeper might be cursing her in his heart at this moment! But she doesn't care, as long as he doesn't scold him to his face, let him vent his anger in his heart!
After packing up the dagger, Xiao Ruoxi walked in front of Chu Xiuyi, directly ripped off the money bag on Chu Xiuyi's waist, took out a large ingot of silver from it, and threw it on the table of the shopkeeper.
"Robber, you?"
Seeing Xiao Ruoxi's sudden action, Chu Xiuyi's direct reaction was that this woman was definitely a robber, and I really didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for his third brother to marry this woman.
And the shopkeeper on the side, seeing the silver thrown by Xiao Ruoxi, looked righteous and awe-inspiring at this time, twisted his head to the side, and didn't look at the silver.
Xiao Ruoxi doesn't mind, she has always had clear grievances and grievances, and she won't let others do things for her in vain.
"Ruoxi, then will we go over there in Xinglin Hall now?"
Out of Tongrentang, Chu Xiuyi asked Xiao Ruoxi.
"Go, of course!"
Xiao Ruoxi said without thinking about it, although someone from Tongrentang had bought musk, that person might not be the person she was looking for, so just in case, Xinglintang had to find out the situation.
Chu Xiuyi didn't refute, since Xiao Ruoxi was going, it would be better to go with her.
