Chapter 370: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Before Huaxi finished speaking, Jin Nanshu burst into a burst of violent laughter, as if he had heard an unprecedented, very ridiculous joke. He even burst into tears of laughter, fell crookedly on Hua Qingying's body, and then was lifted away.
Everyone looked at him like a madman, and even Huaxi was embarrassed, not understanding what kind of madness this Jin Nanshu was about.
When Jin Nanshu had laughed enough, he patted the table and stopped, his whole face flushed with laughter. He wiped his face and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said, "Huaxi, who gave you the courage to say such a thing?" Do you think this official needs your help if he wants to find out someone? Do you think your skills are greater than those of your own officials? ”
Huaxi was stunned for a moment, and finally saw the eye-catching red official uniform on Jin Nanshu's body. She had seen the official uniforms, and neither Hua Jizu nor Lu Zhifu had such a majesty as Jin Nanshu.
Yes, what about Daqi's official, an official who is bigger than the prefect, how can he not find out the whereabouts of a common person, it is ridiculous to say it. And Hua Xi felt that she was even more ridiculous, and she actually wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to blackmail them, who is Hua Qingyan? Who are you here? I can't even compare to a finger of them.
Huaxi sat down on the ground in a daze, stunned for a few seconds, and then got up on her own, and walked out without saying a word. However, the whole person's face was a little paler, and his steps staggered as if he was about to fall at any moment.
Looking at Hua Xi's back, Hua Qingyan suddenly felt sad. Although Huaxi hated it, she never really did anything excessive to her, it was nothing more than turning a blind eye and sneering. Huaxi, who was so arrogant in the past, is now destroyed by the old Hua family and the Liu family, and has been destroyed by family affection and love.
Hua Qingyan sighed and asked, "Do we have this kind of law to deal with people who are forced to become prostitutes?" ”
"Why do you want to help her?" Hua Qingying raised her eyebrows and asked.
Hua Qingyan's movements after coming to the mountain village are all in the hands of him, who is an elder brother, and naturally knows what kind of person this Huaxi is, Huaxi is just too self-righteous, but he has not done anything too much to Hua Qingyan. He thought, it is understandable that Hua Qingyan wants to help.
"Yes, there are, but there are too many interests involved, so the prefects and yamen in various places are not very good officials. Of course, this kind of person will be released soon if he scratches his teeth. This has become an iron law, where can the local prefect offend the people behind these people's teeth. ”
Hua Qingying's words were tacitly accepted by everyone present. Hua Qingyan thought about it, it was indeed played in those TV series I watched in my previous life, Qinglou has many people, and it is a good place to get news, so almost all the forces with a little thought will establish their own Qinglou. And Qinglou is definitely a huge profit, and it is a good place to collect money.
Hua Qingyan didn't know if Daqi had a Master Bao who even dared to judge the emperor to take care of these people who were acting for the tiger and mutilating the girl.
"But if you want to help her, it's not impossible, but first think about how to help?" Hua Yaozong patted Hua Qingyan's head, thinking that his daughter was good, but this heart followed his wife, "It's impossible to catch that person's teeth, we have enough troubles of our own, and we can't take another one on our body." ”
"I understand, Daddy." Hua Qingyan thought for a while and said, "Since you can't cure the root cause, you can only help Huaxi escape." Saying that, Hua Qingyan showed a sly smile, "The old Hua family received three thousand taels of people's teeth, but they didn't hand them over, and that person's teeth naturally refused to give up, so the old Hua family will definitely return the silver." But since then, the gambling house has not been able to explain. ”
Everyone imagined following Hua Qingyan's words, and they really thought of the tragic situation that the old Hua family was going to face, and they couldn't help laughing. Jin Nanshu even gave Hua Qingyan a thumbs up: "Gao, this trick is called drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle!" Since then, this old flower family has never turned over in this life. Qingyan, I found that you are more and more similar to Yun Shumo, both of them are so insidious and cunning! ”
The sinister and cunning Hua Qingyan: "......"
Jin Nanshu also seemed to think that such a description was easy to misunderstand, and said, "Of course, I'm praising you, not scolding you." ”
Hua Qingyan rolled her eyes and ignored him, thinking in her heart that she was really like what Jin Nanshu said, becoming more and more similar to that person? It is said that people who have been together for a long time will become more and more alike, and husbands and wives will become more and more husband and wife. Hua Qingyan thought that she was looking forward to it.
Here Hua Xi didn't know that Hua Qingyan finally decided to help herself, she left Hua's house in a daze, and walked to the river aimlessly. There is a lot of rain this year, and the water in the small river is also rising fast, Huaxi stands by the river and feels that she can touch the water with her feet outstretched, and if she falls, she will definitely be able to pass her head.
Perhaps, jumping down like this is also a way to pass, anyway, she is already like this, it is better than selling her body in the Qinglou.
The river clearly reflected Huaxi's shadow, and the wound on his forehead was really hideous, with this face full of blood, Huaxi thought that he was not broken? She tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, thinking that it would be good to break her appearance, maybe she wouldn't be sold.
"Huaxi?"
Li Xiu went to the river to wash clothes, and saw a figure wandering by the river from a distance, Li Xiu felt that Huaxi didn't plan to take care of it, but who would have thought that Huaxi actually took a step towards the river, and this fall would fall directly into the river! Li Xiu didn't want to see the people of the Lao Hua family anymore, but she couldn't watch people die in front of her, no, she hurriedly called her.
"What are you doing? Die? You can't be here. Li Xiu wanted to persuade, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she became this, and she was also a little anxious, "I said Huaxi, you hurry up and go home, what can't you think of." Why don't you go to Hu Langzhong's house to deal with this face, what should you do if the girl's family is broken? ”
Huaxi's face was quite terrifying, and Dong Qingqing, who came with Li Xiu, was already so frightened that she hid behind Li Xiu.
Huaxi turned around and nodded to Li Xiu, still in the same lofty posture, she didn't say anything and left directly. Only she knows in her heart that everything is fake, and now she can't even compare to Li Xiu.
The old mansion was quiet, except for the sound of panting in Huaqi's house, only the sound of Huaxi entering the door by herself. Huaxi fetched water to clean up her face, and looked at the turned flesh on her forehead, Huaxi smiled, "That's it, that's it." ”
Hua Xi didn't give medicine to the wound, packed up her things and clothes, and lay on the bed, waiting for Hua Shanmin to bring someone to announce her final belonging.
But before Hua Xi waited for Hua Shanmin to come, he heard a knock at the door, Hua Xi was stunned, Hua Qi shouted the name of the family in the house and asked people to open the courtyard door, but no one answered him one by one. If he didn't get a response, Hua Qi scolded and scolded, starting from the Wen family to Hua Yang, and the posture seemed to scold the entire old Hua family's clan.
Huaxi was so noisy that she couldn't pretend to be dead anymore to sleep, so she had to lift the quilt again and get up and slap the door heavily when she passed by the door of Huaqi's house: "Don't scream, it's just me, you just treat them as dead!" ”
The scolding in the door suddenly stopped, and then remembering Hua Qi's violent cough, Hua Xi rolled her eyes and ignored it and opened the courtyard door, "You are looking for ...... Hua Qingyan? What are you doing here? ”
The people who came were Hua Qingyan and Jin Nanshu, Hua Xi was a little surprised, after all, she had just come back from Hua's house, why did she come back with her front foot, and Hua Qingyan and they came without warning?
However, Huaxi is not stupid, looking at Jin Nanshu beside Hua Qingyan, he instantly understood their intentions.
Hua Xi knocked the door and gave up his place to invite the two of them in, "Hua Qi, lying in the room, he is paralyzed and can't move, but he can say and think, but what you want to know, he may not tell you." ”
Hua Xi smiled, Hua Qi doesn't want to see Hua Qingyan now, who wants to see a person who was kicked out by himself getting better and better, and lining himself to become more and more failures?
Hua Qingyan smiled brightly at Hua Xi, and reached out to grab Hua Xi's arm, "Hua Xi, it's better to deal with your face." ”
Hua Qingyan's sudden closeness made Hua Xi stunned, and she was a little at a loss. But before she could react, Hua Qingyan had already let go of her hand, Hua Xi felt that Hua Qingyan's hand had passed over her hand, but there was one more thing in her hand, thin, like paper.
Hua Qingyan and Jin Nanshu had already arrived at Hua Qi's door, the two knocked politely, Hua Qi obviously heard what Hua Xi said to them before in the house, and she couldn't pretend to be dead, so she could only cough and let the two enter the house.
Hua Xi glanced at Hua Qi's closed door a little inexplicably, and clenched his hands tightly and went back to his room. She pursed her lips and looked left and right to make sure that no one was there, then closed the door of her room and opened her palm.
What Hua Qingyan gave to Hua Xi was a piece of paper. Huaxi took a deep breath, spread out the piece of paper, and wrote a short sentence on it: "See you in the village tomorrow night." ”
Hua Xi felt that her heartbeat was about to stop, she didn't expect that Hua Qingyan suddenly wanted to help herself after rejecting her, and she directly helped herself leave. Huaxi couldn't figure out why Hua Qingyan did this, but she couldn't stop Huaxi from getting excited!
Huaxi destroyed the note and found the baggage to pack up. I don't know how to go forward, so I must bring enough. Hua Xi found a small box from the far corner of his suitcase, but when he called, it was a box full of broken silver. There are about a hundred taels. This is the money that Huaxi has raised for more than ten years, originally to add more dowry to himself when he got married, but now the dowry is not used, so it is used to save his life.
