Chapter V: Measures (II)
"Wait!"
Brother Nag stopped Liu Qiang and the others.
Liu Qiang looked back and looked at Brother Nag impatiently: "What else do you have to say?" ”
"Naturally, I still have something to ask Steward Liu to help." Brother Nag laughed.
"Help? Why should I help you? Liu Qiang sneered and said disdainfully.
Brother Nag got up, put away the light smile that had been hanging on his face, walked up to Liu Qiang expressionlessly, looked down at Liu Qiang, who was only up to his chest, and said lightly: "Why?" Steward Liu, being targeted by Master Liu, I won't live long, you are beautiful and kind-hearted, you must not be able to get along with me, a dying person, right? Otherwise, I can only choose to break the net and confess everything to Sister Xiaowen. On Master Liu's side, I can only disgust him with my own life. As for Mr. Liu, take care of you......"
Hearing this, Liu Qiang's face became extremely ugly, and there was an incredible look in his gaze when he looked at Brother Na, and he couldn't believe that it was Liu Xiaomeng, who was honest, clever and stupid before.
Regardless of what Liu Qiang thought, Brother Nag continued to take care of himself: "Do you guess if I tell Sister Xiaowen that everything is because you are a hindrance and report to Master Liu, will Sister Xiaowen hate you?" I'm Sister Xiaowen's only friend since she was a child! Because of you, you died! And my last wish, I want to think about it...... You said that if I want you to bury me with me, will Sister Xiaowen fulfill my last wish? ”
"Fuck you!"
Liu Qiang grabbed Brother Na's collar violently, stared at Brother Na with wide eyes, and roared in a low voice: "Liu Xiaomeng, do you want to drag me into the water?" ”
"What dragged you into the water, don't say it so ugly! Steward Liu, I said, I don't have a few days to live, if you have to compete with me, a dying person, what can I do? Brother Nag looked at Liu Qiang coldly, without backing down, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and said disdainfully: "What? You still want to use your status as a steward to pressure me? I don't know if I'm ready to do it, and I will exchange my life for another life? I don't care, anyway, I'm already a thorn in Master Liu's side. ”
"You!"
Liu Qiang's eyes were blazing with anger, but after seeing Brother Na's cold eyes, he felt like he was being poured cold by a basin of cold water.
He knows Liu Xiaomeng, he has been getting along for more than ten years, Liu Xiaomeng is always cautious, gentle and motivated, he has never seen such a cold and crazy look in Liu Xiaomeng's eyes.
For a moment, he even thought that Liu Xiaomeng in front of him had changed someone!
What he said was true! He really wants to trade my life for my life! Yes, he will definitely die if he is targeted by Master Liu, he is crazy now...... Liu Qiang's heart was full of thoughts, and it was cold.
"Heh, hehe......" Laughing stiffly, Liu Qiang loosened his brother's collar, carefully smoothed the folds, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Meng, brother hasn't felt sorry for you all these years, right?" This courtyard was originally qualified to live in the foreman, but my brother arranged it for you, right? You do the easiest job every day, and my brother takes care of you, right? Really, it is really not me who passed on the small word to Master Liu that you have a relationship with the eldest lady, I am a little housekeeper in charge of housekeeping, how can I be qualified to deliver words in front of the master. I ......"
"That's it!" Brother Nag waved his hand and interrupted Liu Qiang's words impatiently, "It doesn't matter who reported to Master Liu. Steward Liu, as long as you do me two favors, I promise that I will not say anything bad about you in front of Sister Xiaowen, and my death will have nothing to do with you in the future. Even, I can even give you a few kind words in front of Sister Xiaowen. In the future, Sister Xiaowen will take over the Liu family, not to mention promoting you to be a housekeeper, at least she will not beat you from a housekeeper to an ordinary private slave. ”
Brother Na casually drew a flatbread for Liu Qiang.
But I have to say that Liu Qiang can go from a private slave to a manager, which is still a bit eye-catching. He was not confused by the big cake painted by Brother Na, but directly grasped the point: "Two busy? I don't know what the matter is, Xiao Meng, you talk about it first, and the brother who can do it will definitely help you. But you also know that my brother can't do anything big with this ability. ”
"Don't worry, Steward Liu, it's all a trivial matter." Brother Nag smiled and said, "First, I won't be ready to go to work in the future." I have worked for the Liu family all my life, and in the last few days of my life, I am ready to go out to be chic. This happens to be within your jurisdiction of Steward Liu, cover for me, no problem, right? ”
"This ......" Liu Qiang hesitated: "Xiao Meng, you don't want to escape, right?" ”
The work schedule of Liu's private slaves is indeed under Liu Qiang's control. There are hundreds of private slaves in Liu's house, and the labor force is greatly overflowing. Not to mention letting one person not go to work for a few days, even if twenty or thirty people are removed, Liu Qiang can arrange for it.
Therefore, this request of Brother Nag is just a gesture for Liu Qiang. The only thing he was worried about was whether Brother Nag would run away.
Brother Na shook his head and said: "Steward Liu is too worried, as a private slave, without a body and a guide, where can I run?" Staying in Liu's Mansion, with Sister Xiaowen, I still have the possibility to live. If you become a fugitive slave, you will surely die. I'm not that stupid. ”
"Alright then, I can help with that." Liu Qiang nodded in response, and then asked, "What else is going on?" ”
"The second thing is that I want to borrow some money from Steward Liu."
"Borrow money?"
Liu Qiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was a little surprised: Yes, Liu Xiaomeng is the lowest private slave and has no financial resources. In the last few days, I want to go chic, but how can I be chic without money?
But...... Although he is a housekeeper and manages hundreds of people, he is a private slave who can't sell for a few dollars if his bones are broken, and he can't get any oil and water. In addition to the regular money that can receive 120 copper martial arts coins from the house every month, there is very little extra money, how can there be any spare money to lend to Brother Na?
"You, how much do you want to borrow?" Liu Qiang asked embarrassedly.
"Hmm...... Get me twenty honeysuckle flowers first. After a deep groan, Brother Na opened his mouth and reported the number.
"What!? Twenty silver? Liu Qiang almost jumped up as if he had been stepped on his tail, and opened his mouth to spit at his brother's face: "Then you might as well kill me!" Let me die with you! Do you think I'm worth twenty silver? I've only saved a total of three silvers over the years, and I'll lend you two silvers at most! ”
"So poor? The five silvers. ”
"Five silver? I said it all, all my deposits are only three silver! Just three silver, no more! ”
"Wuyin, stop talking nonsense. You say you have three silvers and a deposit of at least ten silver. I won't borrow more from you, just five silver, and after we get the money, our well water will not interfere with the river water. ”
“…… Yes! Liu Xiaomeng, remember what you said! I hope you keep your promises. You won't have to go to work tomorrow, I'll give you money during your lunch break! ”
After that, Liu Qiang turned around and left, for fear that Brother Na would make any other unreasonable demands on him.
After sending Liu Qiang and the others away indifferently, Brother Na found a wooden stick instead of the broken latch and reinserted it on the door, and then returned to the table to continue to eat the rest of the meal.
Cheng Jingling, who watched the whole process of the negotiation between Brother Nag and Liu Qiang in his consciousness, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said gratefully: "Fortunately, Brother Na, if you weren't here today, I really wouldn't have been able to cope with this level." ”
"You're welcome, I was just thinking about how to solve your freedom problem, and he was sent to the door by mistake." Brother Nag just smiled and didn't care.
Cheng Jingling then asked the doubts in his heart: "But wouldn't it be good if you only let him give us freedom, why do you have to make a second request and ask him for money?" Five silver, it doesn't help us much, right? It's also easy to provoke his resistance, what if he turns his face? ”
"No, I asked him for money precisely to appease his heart." Brother Na explained indifferently.
