"One hundred taels of silver?" Zhu Xiulan was taken aback, "Impossible, impossible." ”

Zhu Deyuan has a good character, otherwise he would not have gone to the Full Moon Building to be a junior in the hall, and with such a large sum of silver, Zhu Xiulan had never heard Zhu Deyuan say it, let alone seen it.

"What's impossible, last night, Zhu Deyuan secretly took a hundred taels of silver from me, this can still be faked. Li Rui said angrily, "Did Zhu Deyuan take my silver and run away, tell me, where is Zhu Deyuan hiding?"

"I took a hundred taels of silver from you last night. Zhu Xiulan was stunned, "······ last night"

After listening to Li Rui's words, Zhu Xiulan also had to wonder if Zhu Deyuan really took a hundred taels of silver and ran away, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that he disappeared last night.

A hope rose in Zhu Xiulan's heart, if Zhu Deyuan escaped, then it would prove that Zhu Deyuan was not dead, which meant that she didn't have to be widowed.

"Then what happened to the ghost last night?" Zhu Xiulan muttered in a low voice.

"Ghosts?" Li Rui smiled fiercely, "Everyone says that there are ghosts, but I don't think there are ghosts at all, it is Zhu Deyuan who has a weak heart and runs away with the money." ”

"Could it be that my sages have read the books in vain and want to fool me? Li Rui's eyes had a fierce light, "If you don't tell where Zhu Deyuan is, hehe·····"

Li Rui looked at Zhu Xiulan with a lewd smile.

As soon as Zhu Xiulan saw Li Rui's appearance, she knew what he wanted to do, she panicked, "No, childe, no, Zhu Deyuan really let the ghost arrest him last night." ”

"Hmph. Li Rui snorted coldly, "If you want to fool me with ghosts, you have to ask me if I believe it or not, as a scholar, how can I believe in strange powers? Do you think I will believe that there are ghosts?"

"Ghost, ghost. When Zhu Xiulan heard this, her face was full of horror, "Childe, there is really a ghost, I won't lie to you, but this ghost can't say it, if it does, it will kill people." ”

"Oh!" Li Rui showed an interested expression, "There are really ghosts, this son has not seen a ghost yet, tell this son, if it is really a ghost who captured Zhu Deyuan, then this son will find out this ghost if he says anything, even if Zhu Deyuan runs away to the ghost den, this son will arrest him back." ”

"Dare to steal my money, huh. Li Rui's eyes were full of fierceness, "If you tell what the ghost is about, I really believe it, and I don't want this hundred taels of silver." ”

Zhu Xiulan's thoughts were flustered, knowing that Li Rui didn't believe what she said, "Childe, there are really ghosts, many people here have seen them, but ······ But······ Can't really say. ”

"Don't say it. Li Rui shouted.

The annual income of ordinary people in Dazhao is only about ten taels of silver, and this is still without eating or drinking, if you count the expenses, there is basically not much money left in a family.

And Zhu Deyuan is also more than ten taels of silver a year in the Full Moon Building, except for eating and drinking and feeding the family, the Zhu family can't take out this hundred taels of silver at all.

And Zhu Xiulan wants to repay this hundred taels of silver, even if she works hard for a hundred years, she can't pay it back.

Li Rui threatened and lured like this, and Zhu Xiulan didn't want to say what was going on with the ghost, it seemed that she had to be more ruthless.

"If you don't say anything, I will take you to report to the official, Zhu Deyuan ran away, but you are still here, and when the time comes, I will sell you to Cuiweiju, at least you can sell it for twenty or thirty taels. "Li Rui is going to arrest Zhu Xiulan when he goes up.

When Zhu Xiulan heard this, she immediately panicked, and the whole person collapsed to the ground, "Childe, please, don't, Childe, please." ”

Zhu Xiulan sobbed in a low voice.

Da Zhao's criminal law is strict, and if the husband owes a debt, the husband dies or disappears, the debt will automatically be passed on to the wife or parents, unless there is no one in the husband's family, the debt can be automatically canceled.

If Li Rui sued Zhu Xiulan to the yamen, Zhu Xiulan would have to pay back the 100 taels of silver if she smashed the pot and sold iron, and if there was no silver, it was really possible to sell Zhu Xiulan to Cuiweiju at that time.

What's more, Li Rui is a literati, and he is a superior existence in Dazhao, and he will be biased towards Li Rui in the yamen.

Zhu Xiulan is afraid, what is Cuiweiju, where is the famous Qinglou in Jiangkang City, as long as a woman is sold to Cuiweiju, it is like going to a hell cave, and she has to peel off her skin if she doesn't die.

Thinking about the thousands or even tens of thousands of men who climbed into her bed in the future, Zhu Xiulan was frightened, "Childe, please, please, don't sell me to Cuiweiju." ”

"If you don't want to be sold to Cuiweiju, tell me what the ghost is about. Li Rui said viciously.

"I ······ I ······" Zhu Xiulan thinks about her future life, even if she dies, she doesn't want to live in the hell cave.

Zhu Xiulan was ruthless, "Childe, I said, last night." ”

Just as Zhu Xiulan was about to speak, outside the gate, a big foot kicked the gate, and a "clang" sounded interrupting Zhu Xiulan's words, and then an obscene voice came into the courtyard, "Little lady, little lady······"

It was not easy to coerce and lure Zhu Xiulan to tell what was going on with the ghost, but she was suddenly interrupted by this hateful voice.

Li Rui was suddenly angry, turned his head to look at the gate, and shouted, "Get in." ”

Zhu Xiulan just got up, and she just said the word 'last night', Li Rui must see who disturbed all this.

"Little lady······ Huh?" The person who came in was shouting obscenely, Li Rui burst into a shout, and the person suddenly stopped screaming.

The visitor hurriedly walked in, and saw the angry Li Rui at a glance, he turned his head again, and saw Zhu Xiulan sitting on the ground with pear blossoms on her face.

"I just like little beauties like this. The man said with a 'hehe' smile in his heart.

Although Zhu Xiulan is only eighteen years old, she still has some appearance, and with a little tear stain on her face, she feels quite pitiful.

He looked at Li Rui angrily, "Who is this person? ”

Li Rui shouted just now, and the people who came were already unhappy, and Zhu Xiulan sat on the ground crying, and the anger in her heart was even worse.

"Who are you, and how dare you bully the little lady?" the visitor shouted.

Li Rui was wearing a blue brocade robe, and he also noticed it, but what was this, he was just a scholar. This is Chengnan, and he still has some connections here, as long as he is not a person with a deep background, he can consciously suppress it.

"Huh?" Li Rui's eyes narrowed.

I saw that the person who came was a man in his twenties, with an obscene face, about 1.7 meters tall, thin and weak, and estimated to weigh only about 100 catties.

He was wearing a gray gown-like undershirt with patches all over his body, his arms were exposed, and his arms were tattooed with tattoos, and on his left arm was a large snake with a huge mouth open and two fangs exposed, as if it was about to bite.

A wolf's head is tattooed on his right arm, the wolf's mouth is also wide open, and the teeth are clearly visible.

However, the man's head was bare, bald, and full of dysentery.

"Chen Er. Zhu Xiulan exclaimed.
