However, after hearing Su Muxian tell him what he knew, Xia Jin was disappointed. Su Muxian didn't know much more than Xia Qi, he just knew more about Luo Yu and Li Yuyuan.

At the end, Su Muxian also turned the topic back: "Look, just like that, everyone thinks that Master Luo has to marry Miss Li in order to preserve Miss Li's reputation." We...... I have to marry you anyway. ”

Xia Jin used to think that this kid was simple and clean and cute, but now he has a headache.

However, she didn't perfunctory Su Muxian this time, and asked: "You should know that marrying a wife is not something you can marry if you want to, it must be the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, right?" If you want to marry me, can your parents agree to it? ”

Su Muxian nodded: "The last time I went back to the capital, I told my father about it, and he agreed." He took out a wooden box made of golden silk nan from his arms, "This is what my father gave me, saying that it was a dowry for you." ”

He opened the wooden box and handed it to Xia Jin. Xia Jin fixed his eyes and saw that there was a gold-inlaid jade step lying inside, which seemed to be more precious and exquisite than the last time the old lady Xuanping waited for it.

"......" Xia Jin was speechless.

She thought that Su Muxian was doing things nonsensically because she grew up in the temple and didn't know anything about the world. Now I know that this thing is inherited at all. That Wu'an Houye can do things more freely than Su Muxian.

This road didn't work, so she had to start from the other side: "Last time you were hunted down, what happened, have you found out?" ”

Su Muxian nodded, his expression a little gloomy: "I asked my father, and my brother sent someone to do it." My father found out about the fact that he sent people to hunt me down, so he had to call them back and let me escape. ”

"Your brother?" Xia Jin was taken aback. "My brother."

Su Muxian nodded again.

Xia Jin was speechless for a long time.

In her previous life, she had seen a lot of things like this kind of brotherly wall; In this ancient era, she thought that in this era of ruling the world with filial piety and respecting benevolence, righteousness and morality, it was better than the society where money was supreme and the poor were not laughed at. But she didn't expect that one day today, she heard two cases of fratricide.

"He wants your title?" She asked again.

Su Muxian glanced at Xia Jin in surprise: "How do you know?" ”

Xia Jin rolled his eyes: "This kind of thing can be imagined with your toes." Not for knighthood. No grudges. Or brother, why did he kill you? ”

Su Mu was silent.

"How is he now?" Xia Jin asked again.

"I was beaten dozens of boards by my father, and my mother pleaded. spared him. I'm locked up at home now. ”

"You are only two brothers, and there are no other brothers and sisters?"

"Yes."

"Your dad is not in good health?"

Su Muxian looked at Xia Jin's gaze and became more and more surprised: "How do you know?" It was because my father was not in good health that he asked someone to bring me back from the temple. ”

"Understood." Xia Jin sighed and patted Su Muxian's shoulder sympathetically. "Poor baby, you're in danger like this. Your brother won't let you go. Anyway, if you're dead, your father and your mother can't kill your brother, right? When the time comes, no matter how angry they are, they have a son left, and they have to let him take the title. If you die, you can only die in vain. Your wolf-hearted brother. It is precisely because I figured this out that I will kill you. ”

Su Muxian's face turned a little pale, but he still refused to admit it: "No." My brother swore in front of my mom and dad. Never hurt me again. ”

Xia Jin sneered: "You also believe this kind of thing!" ”

She stood up and said to Su Muxian condescendingly, "I'm living a good life now." I don't want to be chased and killed with you, and I'm always worried about losing my head. So, if you marry me, don't say it again. We have no grudges, I also saved your life, you can't take revenge, make me lose my head. ”

Su Muxian stood up and looked at Xia Jin seriously: "Give me half a year, and I will deal with this matter." After this matter is resolved, I will come to the door again to ask for marriage, and it will be no problem. Anyway, you're only fourteen years old this year, so we're not in a hurry to get married. ”

Xia Jin couldn't complain.

How could she convince this tenacious fellow!

It is true that the proposal is his business, and the rejection is her business. She was fully confident in convincing Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi not to agree to this family business. But Wu An waited for the prince to come to the door to ask for marriage, and was rejected, what a sensational event this should be in Linjiang City, no matter where she goes, she will be pointed at. If you refuse this family business, I'm afraid no one will dare to come to the door again!

Therefore, she really didn't dare to let this guy go alone and let him do things that were difficult to manage.

"You come with me." Xia Jin dropped a sentence and ran towards the north of the city.

Su Muxian's skills were not much worse than Xia Jin's, and under Xia Jin's deliberate slowdown, he always followed Xia Jin for more than a dozen steps. The two of them went one after the other, and after finally having a meal, Xia Jin stopped on the roof of a dilapidated house.

"What are you doing here?" Su Muxian gasped and couldn't help but ask.

Xia Jin didn't answer. Jumping off the roof, he stood on the narrow street and looked at the direction of the big banyan tree in front of him, then jumped up, jumped up on the wall, and entered a small courtyard. Standing in front of a window and leaning in to listen, she kicked open the wooden door next to her.

Su Muxian followed in curiously, but a foul smell wafted out of the house.

"Who? Who is it? "I heard a knock on the door, and a panicked voice sounded in the dark room.

With a "bang", the room lit up with a faint light. Immediately afterwards, the lights gradually turned on, and Su Muxian found that Xia Jin had an oil lamp in his hand at some point.

"Who are you?" The man's voice rang out again.

Only then did Su Muxian see clearly that this room was empty except for a bed composed of a wooden board and two stools. The bed on the bed was even more torn than the one he had covered when he was injured, and it was greasy and greasy and long gone. Underneath the cotton wool was a man in his forties. He was staring at Xia Jin with panicked eyes.

"There is no shortage of money?" Xia Jin's cold voice sounded in the room.

Qian Buxian saw clearly that although Xia Jin and Su Muxian were masked and wearing night clothes, they were obviously not those debt collectors, so they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and responded: "Yes, I am not short of money." Then he wondered, "You are ......."

Xia Jin didn't answer his question, glanced at him, and asked, "Your leg was beaten by a gambling debt collector?" ”

Speaking of this, he was indignant when he was not short of money: "They didn't fight it." When Lao Tzu turns over the book, he will definitely ask someone to beat them. They broke one of my legs, and I want them to pay back with two legs......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly screamed "ah", and the voice was so terrible that Su Muxian was startled, but it was Xia Jin who pierced the two silver needles on his two exposed toes at some point.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts...... Qian You's facial features were wrinkled, and his voice was so harsh that he was about to lift the roof.

Xia Jin frowned, as if he thought that Qian Buxian's voice was too noisy, he raised his leg and knocked on Qian Buquan's body, and Qian Buqian suddenly became dumb. But the trembling body and deformed facial features also showed that he was enduring unspeakable pain.

"...... are you" Su Muxian was dumbfounded, not knowing how the person in front of him had offended Xia Jin, and Xia Jin wanted to toss him to death like this.

Xia Jin ignored him, and when he saw that Qian was not lacking, he was about to faint in pain, and pulled out the silver needle.

Qian Buquan gasped for breath and was covered in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water.

"Do you still want to gamble?" Xia Jin asked, touching his body with his foot.

"No, don't gamble...... Qian Bu's mouth finally sounded, but the voice was so hoarse that it was impossible to make out what he was saying.

"I'll take you to a place now, and when your leg is healed, I'll cook honestly for me. As long as you dare to make bad ideas or want to run away, you will taste this pain. When you earn enough ten taels of silver to pay off your gambling debts, let's talk about something else. ”

Thinking of the painful feeling just now, Qian Buque shuddered violently, and said repeatedly: "Don't escape, don't escape." ”

He had a broken foot, and there was no one to take care of him, and he lay here dying of thirst and starvation. After following Xia Jin, someone made him something to eat, even if Xia Jin didn't threaten him, he was willing. As for what happens after the leg is good, I'll talk about it then.

Xia Jin seems to have been prepared. She took out a pair of gloves from her arms, wrapped the money in torn cotton wool, reached out and lifted him in her hand as if she were carrying a package, turned and walked out of the door.

Su Muxian was already stunned by Xia Jin's bandit-like methods. It wasn't until Xia Jin's figure disappeared at the door that he came to his senses and hurriedly chased him out.

Xia Jin was carrying people in his hands, but the speed was as fast as when he came, and he always maintained that speed. After a meal, she and Su Muxian reappeared in the east of the city and entered the courtyard of the restaurant that Cen Ziman handed over to her.

Xia Jin threw Qian Buqian in a room at the back of the small courtyard, groped for a while on his broken leg with gloves, and suddenly made a "bang", accompanied by a scream of Qian Buxian, and took out a packet of medicine from his sleeve, put it on it, fixed it up and down with a wooden board, and then used a strip of cloth.

After doing this, she took out two steamed buns wrapped in cloth from her arms and threw them in front of Qian You, who was sweating in pain: "Fortunately, it was me who met me, otherwise your leg would be useless." ”

There is no shortage of money, and I don't know whether to hate the person in front of me or be grateful for this at this time. He picked up the steamed bun with trembling hands and said "thank you" in a hoarse voice.

Xia Jin glanced at him, turned and walked out of the room.

Su Muxian was looking at this scene with complicated eyes, and when he saw Xia Jin leaving, he hurriedly followed. But when he reached the door, he paused.

Under the moonlight, Xia Jin was shaking the reels on the well and carrying a bucket of water.

She removed the bucket from the hook, carried it into the room, and placed it next to the bed, where money was scarce.

Qian You, who was gobbling up steamed buns, saw the bucket in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned, raised his eyes and looked at Xia Jin blankly. (To be continued)
