Li Baojia took a deep breath, took out two more and said, "What now?" Do you say it or not? ”

Mother Hong's eyes lit up and shook her head: "This, it's really ......"

Li Baojia took out a few more: "What about now?" ”

Mother Hong still shook her head, and after such a few times, the silver tickets in front of her were actually piled up as much as two thousand taels.

Li Baojia was a little hesitant, the silver tickets brought today were almost used, it seems that this red mother is biting and not talking, and the temptation of money is useless for her.

Zhou Jinan next to her saw that she was embarrassed, and knew that she must not have enough silver tickets, so he stretched out his hand into the placket and said, "I still have it here." ”

He also took out a stack of thick silver tickets, Li Baojia only felt that his heart was dripping blood, and the price of this questioning was ...... It's too big, isn't it?

She was hesitating to reach out to pick it up, but a hand reached out next to her to block her, and she turned her head to see Zhao Yi smiling and said, "I'll come." ”

Li Baojia withdrew his hand, but Zhao Yi had no intention of taking the silver ticket, he turned to Mother Hong and picked up the two thousand taels of silver ticket again: "Don't say it? ”

Mother Red shook her head firmly.

Zhao Yi sneered and took out the five sheets: "What about now?" ”

As soon as Mother Hong saw him take off the five, her face immediately sweated, and her teeth trembled a little: "Childe, this ......"

Without waiting for her to finish, Zhao Yi took out five more sheets: "Still don't say it?" ”

Mother Hong was almost in a hurry to stretch out her hand, but Zhao Yi saw that she didn't speak, so she reached out to pull out five more.

Mother Hong couldn't sit still this time, stood up and said hurriedly: "I said! I say! Don't take it. ”

Zhao Yi put the remaining 1,000 taels of silver tickets on the table and said, "Say it." ”

Li Baojia next to him was stunned by this operation.

The temptation that people receive when they get something is far less unbearable than the pain when they are lost.

For the control of people's hearts, Zhao Yi is indeed much stronger than her, and she only knows how to increase her chips stupidly.

Mother Hong pulled the handkerchief and turned to the ladies behind her and said, "You guys go out first." ”

When these ladies and subordinates all went out, she closed the door and said with some hesitation: "You also know that this Pingcheng is so big, if I say it...... It's known, my business is not easy to do......"

Li Baojia said: "Don't worry, we naturally won't say it, you just have to say it with confidence." Let's go into more detail. ”

Mother Hong nodded, and glanced left and right sneakily before saying: "I actually accompanied Qingniang that day, and Qingniang was the lady who was taken away by the prefect." ”

"The guest that day was not ordinary, he seemed to want people to know, he came in the middle of the night, when I went in with the young lady, the room was darkly lit, and it was terrible to look at."

"He took out five hundred taels of silver tickets and explained the habits of a girl, which was said to have been seen at the banquet, because what he said was not detailed enough, so we also had some difficulties, and the time was short."

"But Qing Niang, she is one of the best girls here at this imitation, and she is especially good at painting faces, and after the man showed us the portrait, she learned seven or eight points that night."

Li Baojia glanced at him and said, "Talk about the point." Do you see the man's face? ”

This is all nonsense, she doesn't want to hear how this young lady is good at imitation and so on, she just wants to know who is behind it.

Mother Hong said: "At that time, the room was too dark, and the slave family didn't see his face clearly, but vaguely remembered that he seemed to be quite tall, not fat or thin, and his clothes and fabrics looked good...... Oh yes, he seems to have a folding fan in his hand, and there seem to be two words written on it - Qingping, yes, these are these two words. ”

Li Baojia and Zhao Yi glanced at each other.

Qingping?

Isn't that Mei Gongzi's folding fan?

In other words, the person who is looking for Qingniang is Mei Gongzi? Did the Mei Mansion make him do this?

Li Baojia really didn't understand why the Mei Mansion did this, and what benefits did it do to them?

Could it be that because of that account book, the sale of illicit salt is really related to them, so they want to go to this prince of Jing'an Hou Mansion in advance?

If it is Meifu who sells illicit salt and participates in the private manufacture of weapons, this move is a proper thief.

Otherwise, there is no need to be so sneaky.

Li Baojia asked, "That's all he told you?" Did you say anything else, how old does it feel like he is by listening to the voice? ”

Mother Hong recalled carefully for a while: "I didn't say anything else, we have rules in this industry, we can't ask too much, just take the money and do things." ”

"As for the age...... Listening to the voice, Mo is about 20 years old, anyway, he looks very young. ”

As she spoke, two lights suddenly went out in the room, and only one remained in the corner, which suddenly startled Li Baojia.

Mother Hong was obviously also bluffed, but she quickly reacted, fumbling to order it, while complaining: "It must be that the material of this batch of lamp oil is not good, and it dares to send us some inferior goods, which will be extinguished at every turn, which is really annoying." ”

"Next time, I will definitely beat them well, and it will be inconvenient for the sons."

Li Baojia saw that she was lighting the lamp, and quickly walked over to help her light the other lights, and soon the room was bright again.

Zhao Yi suddenly smiled and said: "You are moving fast, you lit three lamps at once, you see that she has been lighting them for so long." ”

Li Baojia turned her head to look at Mother Hong, she really lit the lamp, Mother Red saw them looking over, and said with a smile: "Oh, the slave family is old this year, of course the hands and feet are not as sharp as the young people, you look at how many of you are young and good, it is when you are strong, but don't laugh at my old wife." ”

She smiled wildly, and the thick powder on her face was scarred by the wrinkles she squeezed together when she laughed.

In all fairness, although you can't see your age when you put on powder, you can not look too old at most, or about forty.

Li Baojia glanced at her and didn't speak, thinking that she should know and asked about it, so she said: "That's okay, take the money and go, we will not hear about today's events." ”

Zhao Yi took out the silver ticket, and Mother Hong's eyes lit up, nodded and said: "Okay, well, take your time, the slave family will not let people disturb your lord's Yaxing, if you need someone to serve, send someone to shout, there are many girls here." ”

Li Baojia nodded dispensably, and Mother Hong retreated with a beaming face.

Li Baojia walked back and continued to watch the performance downstairs, while pouring himself a cup of tea and said, "In this way, this Mei family is very suspicious." ”

"Your Highness, you think, if the Mei family is not weak-minded, why do you secretly make these famous halls like this, I don't know what they are doing by placing people around you."

Zhao Yi said: "She was lying just now. ”
