Chapter 43: The Road Is Uneven
"Liu'er, let's go, I'm hungry, find a place to eat!" Su Ranhua said to Liu Er while searching for snacks on the side of the road.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she found tofu brain, which is her favorite breakfast in modern times, just imagine a hidden killer sitting on the street stall eating tofu brain, facing her favorite snacks and can't relax her vigilance, it's really disappointing.
Now, I can finally sit on the side of the road with peace of mind and eat a bowl of tofu brain with green onion pancakes.
Su Ranhua walked straight to the side of the stall, found a seat and sat down, and said to the busy boss, "One pancake, two bowls of tofu brain." ”
"Miss, it's not too early." Although Liu Er doesn't like to talk much, when she knew that the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion should have gone to the Beiwang Mansion, she still wanted to remind Su Ran to paint.
"There's no hurry, it's hard to get out." Su Ranhua waved his hand, indifferent to the Tao, as if he had completely forgotten that the Prime Minister's Mansion was coming.
The boss served tofu brains and pancakes.
Su Ranhua stretched out his fingers and tapped on the seat next to him, and Liu Er sat down hesitantly.
It was Liu Er's honor to be able to sit and eat with her master, but Su Ranhua's behavior made her worried. Especially in the scene of Yujinfang, she was really afraid that those big men would come over and make a big deal and stab the king of the north, and something would inevitably happen. As a result, the princess actually pulled the matter on Princess Nan, which made her very puzzled, but the danger was resolved, and nothing happened.
"Don't talk about what you just happened again." Su Ranhua blew on the hot tofu brain in the spoon, lowered his eyelids and said lightly to Liu'er.
"Yes." Liu Er nodded obediently.
"Muar, today is the deadline, are you ready for the three months of money you owe to my son?"
It's very scenic, and a group of menacing people came, led by well-dressed and good-looking, but with a look of strength, as soon as they came to the stall of tofu brain, there was a dog leg who moved a stool for him first, sat down, cocked Erlang's legs, and kept swaying.
The man happened to be sitting opposite Su Ran's painting with his back to him, blocking her view.
The boss known as Muar walked up to the very handsome boy with one leg and said with a smile, "Hu Gongzi, I'm really sorry, I'm just sick, and it's only been a few days since I came out of the stall, can you be tolerant for a few more days?" ”
"Are you saying that Ben Gongzi is not tolerant enough?" Hu Gongzi stretched out his finger and pointed to the other stalls, "Look at it, who can still drag my silver for three months like you?" Don't you know that my son has never been in arrears? After letting you drag on for three months, it's not tolerant enough, is it okay to let Ben Gongzi exempt you from your money? Well? ”
"Hu Gongzi, although we haven't paid three months' silver, but my father has been sick for more than two months, and he hasn't been out of the stall at all, and he has just been doing business for half a month, where did he get three months' silver for you?" The daughter who had been hiding behind Muar and was silent couldn't help it.
"Yue'e, dare to come out?" Hu Gongzi saw this little girl standing in front of him, and his eyes let out a greedy thief light, "It's your business that you didn't come out of the stall, this stall is what you asked this son to keep, since it is hung with your name, who will you pay for this silver?" ”
"Yue'e, go aside!" Muar hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled his daughter back, and kept laughing and said, "Master Hu is angry, and the little girl is not sensible." Please give me a few days, and if I have enough money, I will definitely send it to you. ”
"No, today is the deadline, and if you speak, you have to count." Hu Gongzi didn't let go at all, and a pair of thief eyes swept over Yue'e.
"Childe, I think Muar really doesn't have any money, why don't you be flexible?" The dog leg beside Hu Gongzi looked flattering, and leaned into Hu Gongzi's ear and said.
"Tell me about it." Hu Gongzi stretched out his hand and flicked the hem of his clothes, looking like he was listening.
But Su Ranhua, who was sitting behind him, obviously heard the pretentiousness of the master and servant singing and harmonizing, and also foresaw the next dialogue, and the very low-level scene of forcing good people to become prostitutes was about to be staged.
Sure enough, the dog-legged man continued, "Childe is not short of silver, so let's be exempted, let Miss Yue'e serve Childe for a few days, and protect the silver for a year, firstly, you don't have to let Miss Yue'e suffer here, and secondly, you will also save a sum of money for Muar, and Childe will also be a good person." How is it? ”
"I can't help it!" Without waiting for Mr. Hu to express his position, Muar immediately became anxious, "I can make cattle and horses for my son, please let my son go and let the little girl go!" ”
"My cattle and horses are much stronger than you, what can you do with a slope?" Hu Gongzi looked disdainful, stood up, and walked towards Yue'e, the thief's eyes stared at the panicked girl, "It's Yue'e, smart and capable, it's okay to come to my Hu Mansion to be a maid, this Gongzi has always been pitiful and cherished jade, and he won't treat Yue'e badly." ”
"No, no!" Yue'e ran to her father's side in a panic.
Muar knew that Hu Gongzi had already made up the idea of Yue'e, and this time he was determined to get Yue'e, so it was useless to make amends and laughs, so he reached out and picked up the iron pillar used to stab the fire by the iron stove.
"Old thing, I'm tired of it!" Hu Gongzi's gang of followers rushed up.
Muar held the iron pillar and did not aim at Hu Gongzi, but pointed the tip of the pillar at his throat, "Hu Gongzi, if you force people too much, today our father and daughter can only go to the underworld to find Yue'e and her mother!" ”
"Brother, no!" The neighbors on the side hurriedly dissuaded them.
"Neighbors, I know that it is better to die than to live, so I have taken Yue'e to live hard until now, but I know that I want Yue'e to be humiliated, what kind of face is there to live like this, and I am even more sorry for her mother who died early, it is better to meet the old woman cleanly, it is better than being ruined and then dying!" Muar held the iron pillar in his hand and said tremblingly.
In the dignified capital, at the foot of the imperial city, such a thing happened!
Su Ranhua quietly swallowed the last bite of tofu brain, spun the spoon on the table, and pointed at Hu Gongzi impartially after stopping a few laps.
"Ever heard of this man?" Su Ranhua whispered to Liu Er beside him.
Liu Er nodded lightly, "I heard that Concubine Shu's mother's family has a relative surnamed Hu who is very good in the capital, it should be this Hu Gongzi." ”
"Girl, don't you know? This Hu Gongzi said that he had the support of the lady concubine and his cousin, and it was not a day or two to collect protection money from these foreign vendors. Alas! "The diners sitting on the other side were a little strange about Su Ran's ignorance.
"Oh." Su Ran nodded and stared at Muar, which was surrounded by people, and sat on the periphery, unable to see the movement in the circle.
"That old thing's life or death doesn't matter, don't let him hurt Yue'e, even if he wants his daughter's life, he has to wait for her daughter to serve Ben Gongzi, and then die after these three months of Baoyin." Hu Gongzi stood outside the circle and commanded.
Scold! Su Ran stood up. Even if she had killed countless people who had never seen such presumptuous people in broad daylight, those who were bought to kill had a reason why they had to die, and this villain who shouted for disregard for human life should live to the end even if no one bought his life.
So, Su Ranhua found her first goal of practicing after she came to this world. She doesn't want to be a controlled killer anymore, but she's happy to get rid of some of the scum that is in the way.
