Chapter 122: Mei Xiang Lou
"What? Two hundred thousand taels? Lord Chen exclaimed.
Then he covered his mouth, and at this time he found that there was no movement outside at all, and it was obvious that everyone outside had suffered.
"Whether you give it or not, if you don't give it to me, you'll earn that 100,000."
"Give, I'll give." The knives are all up to his neck, can he not give them.
Helian Yu put away the sword, not worried about him running away, as long as he dared to run, then he would directly ask for his life.
Lord Chen didn't dare to run, so he got up and went to the wardrobe, squatted down and turned on the bottom switch, and then with a click on the top, the cabinet opened.
Lord Chen took out a box from inside, and when he opened the box, Helian Yu saw the title deed of the Meixiang Building inside, so he directly picked it up with his sword.
"I've got this one for me too."
Lord Chen looked at the title deed and house deed, and his face was distressed, regretting that he didn't sell 10,000 taels to that Mrs. Qiao today. If this is sold, it will save 10,000 taels of silver.
"This is 200,000 taels of silver tickets." Lord Chen's hands were shaking, this was something he had worked hard for all his life, and he fell into the hands of others in this way. Thinking about it, I was angry, and I hated Zhang Ziniang to the bone.
"I want to see the head of Zhang Ziniang's mother and daughter." 200,000 taels in exchange for the lives of their mothers and daughters is really cheap.
"Then add another 200,000 taels." Helian Yu said coldly.
200,000 taels to let him kill people is really insulting to his worth.
"What? And 200,000 taels? Lord Chen's eyes were about to fall, "I don't have that much silver." "Then kill only one, you choose one." Helian Yu counted the money, and after counting it clearly, he put it in his arms, and then looked at Lord Chen in front of him, who had an extremely ugly face, "But you, a magistrate in Yucheng, have a shot of 200,000 taels, and you must have deducted a lot of oil and water over the years, just twenty."
Wan Liang shouldn't be a big deal to you. ”
Lord Chen didn't dare to look directly at the masked killer in front of him, as he said, he had indeed deducted a lot of money over the years he had been an official. But this money is also obtained by his ability, and it is also hard-earned money, and he will also feel distressed.
"Hurry up and choose."
"And how much does it cost to catch a living person?"
"Two hundred thousand."
"Why is it still 200,000?" Lord Chen exclaimed.
"The dead are the living, the dead are easier."
"Okay, it's only 200,000 taels, I want to live." Spend 200,000 taels, how can you play back, otherwise it will be too much of a loss.
"Deal."
Lord Chen took out 200,000 taels of silver tickets from the box and gave it to him, which was called a pain in the flesh.
Helian Yu took the money and left.
He Lianyu returned to the inn and was just about to push the door in, when Shen Lingling next door opened the door and walked out.
"Where have you been?"
"Didn't go anywhere." After Helian Yu finished speaking, he pushed the door and entered his room.
As soon as Shen Lingling was about to follow up, the door was closed, almost touching her nose.
Looking at the closed door, she blew her nose and glared, raised her foot and kicked the door, turned and went back to her room in a rage.
In the early morning of the next day, Mr. Chen, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the sound of screaming outside the door. He angrily opened the door and came out.
"What's it called, don't you want to live anymore?"
"Old... Sir, head... ......"The maid fainted before she finished speaking."
Master Chen looked down at his feet, and when he saw the head of a blood spirit, his face turned pale with fright, and he took two steps back and tripped directly over the threshold and fell to the ground.
"Someone, someone."
The housekeeper led a few subordinates over, looking at the head of Zhang Ziniang's daughter at the door, and Zhang Ziniang lying next to her, the housekeeper frowned.
"You two, dispose of this head, as for Zhang Ziniang, lock me up."
Soon, the head and Zhang Ziniang were cleaned up, and the housekeeper stepped forward to help the master up.
"Master, it's okay."
Master Chen stood up, trembling all over, and he shook off the butler's hand.
"What's the matter, you bastard." Lord Chen was about to cry, he spent 400,000 taels to ask for Zhang Ziniang's head and Zhang Meiniang's person. But that bastard actually cut off Zhang Meiniang's head and kept the old ladies behind.
Lord Chen suspects that the killer is deliberate, don't fall into his hands in the future, otherwise he will definitely make that bastard look good.
"I'm so angry, my silver, my beauty, my heart hurts......" Master Chen cried and cried and fainted.
"Master, what's wrong with you, master?" The housekeeper hurriedly helped the old man to the bed, and then ordered someone to ask for a doctor.
In the inn, Qiao Sheng was still sleeping in bed, and on such a cold day, she wanted to lie in the bed and not get up.
Outside the door, Shen Lingling took what Helian Yu gave her this morning and knocked on the door here.
"Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng, are you up?"
Qiao Sheng, who was in the room, heard Sister Shen's voice, frowned slightly, and said, "No, Sister Shen, do you have anything?" ”
"Open the door, I'll give you a good thing."
Hearing this, Qiao Sheng got up, she put on her clothes and came over to open the door, and then yawned.
"Sister Shen, do you have anything good for me early in the morning?"
"Something you want." Shen Lingling wandered around the two pieces of paper in front of her twice.
Looking at the paper floating in front of her, she reached out and took it, her eyes widened when she saw it, and she raised her head and asked Shen Lingling.
"Where are you from?"
"He...... Leng Yu gave it to me. She almost said Helian Yu's name.
When Qiao Sheng heard that Leng Yu gave it to her, her brows furrowed.
"Where did he come from? This can't be fake! ”
"Don't worry, this is absolutely true." Shen Lingling said with a smile.
"How do you know?"
Qiao Sheng took a look at it, and it was indeed true. It's just that how Leng Yu got it, this question is worth pondering.
"What Leng Yu gave was never fake." Shen Lingling still believes in He Lianyu at this point.
"And where did he come from?" She asked again.
"You don't have to ask about this, as long as the thing is in your hands."
"This won't work, when Lord Chen comes to trouble me, won't it be annoying?" Qiao Sheng felt that these were two hot sheets of paper.
"Don't worry, with me and Leng Yu here, no one can do anything to you." Shen Lingling said with a smile.
Qiao Sheng thought for a moment, and then asked Sister Shen: "Where is Leng Yu, you go and call him over, I have something to ask him." ”
"I went out early in the morning, and now I don't know where he is." Shen Lingling spread his hands.
"Forget it, then you ask him to come to me when he comes back."
"Yes." Shen Lingling smiled lightly.
After breakfast, she went out with Shen Lingling, and the two went directly to Meixiang Building.
The door of Meixianglou was still open, she thought that there was no one, who knew that when she came to the backyard, she saw two women sweeping the floor.
When the two of them saw her, they frowned, looked at Qiao Sheng and Shen Lingling, and did not say anything.
Qiao Sheng also looked at them, and then asked them.
"Why didn't you leave?"
"Ruhua and I came here when we were ten years old, and we have been here for 20 years, and we have nowhere to go but to stay here."
"Don't you want to find a man to marry?" Qiao Sheng asked them.
The flower-like woman laughed.
"What man would dare to marry a woman like us, and besides, we are all old."
"Are you going to die here?" Qiao Sheng asked.
"......" The two stopped talking.
If there was another place to live, they would definitely leave, but now that they are gone, they have no money, where can they go, and it is still cold. It's better to live here than to die cold outside.
Qiao Sheng saw that they didn't speak, so he didn't ask, and directly explained to them the purpose of his coming here.
"Now this Meixiang Building is mine, I don't dare you leave for the time being, but after the New Year, you two must leave here."
"May I ask what Madame is doing when she buys this Meixiang Building?" Ruhua asked.
"Open a hot pot building, a place to eat."
When the two of them heard this, they were first surprised, and then they knelt down and kowtowed to her.
"Please take us in."
"What can you do?"
"We will do whatever Madame tells us to do." This is the only way for them to live.
"Ah Sheng, don't believe them, this fireworks girl can't change eating, and it will definitely ruin your business when the time comes." Shen Lingling felt that women in this kind of place were lowly, even if they were good, they would give birth to moths.
As soon as Ruhua heard this, she felt uncomfortable. Confronted Shen Lingling directly.
"No one wants to come to this kind of place, and my sister and I can say that we hate this place, and we hate men as well. If it wasn't for our parents who sold us here, we sisters wouldn't be like this. ”
"Yes." Ruyu nodded, her eyes full of tears.
Qiao Sheng smiled lightly: "My sister speaks a little directly, your sister goes to the heart, if you want to follow me, then it's okay, but you abide by my rules, if I find that you are not innocent with the guests, then don't blame me." ”
Like a flower, the two nodded again and again, and the two spoke in unison.
"Madame, don't worry, we two sisters will abide by our duties."
Looking at the two of them, she nodded.
"Get up, you two will clean up all the fancy things in Meixianglou for me today. Let me see what you both are capable of. ”
"Okay." The two nodded, then stood up.
"What's your two names?"
"The slave is like a flower, and the sister is like a jade." Ruhua replied.
Listening to their names, Qiao Sheng looked disgusted, because the name was too cheesy.
"And what was your original name?" She thought that it should be the name that the bustard gave them.
"The slave doesn't remember." Shaking his head at the same time.
"Since that's the case, then you can forget my surname, your name is Qiao Ru, and your name is Qiao Yu."
The two of them listened to the name and nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Madame, for your name."
"Alright, which of you can take me upstairs to have a look." Yesterday she just looked at the hall, today she went upstairs to have a look.
"Slave maid take Madame to see it." It was Qiao Ru, my sister, who spoke. Qiao Yu didn't earn it with her sister. "Okay, then you can take me up and have a look." After saying that, he turned around and left.
