Chapter 29: Cutting Hands
Ling Chu never thought that one day, he would be so poor that he couldn't even afford a pair of medicines.
She was a little worried, and when she checked the system last night, she found that what was in the system in modern times was missing. And she found that there was a blocked block in it, but for some reason she didn't have the permission to open it.
I don't know if the things she stored in her previous life were in there.
After leaving the medical hall, Ling Chu really had a headache.
Her body must always be nourished with medicine, otherwise relying on merit alone does not guarantee that she will be able to live forever.
She didn't know that the health medicine that the original master had configured for her was so expensive.
Although Ling Chu had not met that master yet, he knew from the memory of the original owner that from childhood to adulthood, if it wasn't for his careful maintenance, the grass on her grave would not know how many zhang high.
Originally, I thought that I still had more than a hundred taels of silver on my body, which could support me for a period of time, and I could slowly find a way to make money. But now that she couldn't even afford her own health pills, Ling Chu couldn't calm down anymore.
It's a matter of her own life, and she is now desperate to make money.
But now it seems that she can only go to the street to set up a hexagram stall first, make some money on the one hand, and then look for a way to make money.
After making up his mind, Ling Chu was going to make two robes and buy some utensils for setting up stalls.
Ling Chu was walking down the small street, thinking about it, when she suddenly noticed that many people were hurrying past her, and she didn't know what was happening in front of her.
Ling Chu was strange, and suddenly saw a middle-aged man being hit by someone running by.
The man frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, I said that you are in a hurry, and you don't pay attention when you walk, is there something wrong, you are all in such a hurry." ”
The young man found that he had hit someone, so he had to stop and said embarrassedly, "Uncle, didn't I hear that Hu Batian went to collect debts again, so he rushed to see it, so he didn't pay attention to hitting you in a hurry." ”
As soon as he heard that Hu Batian was going to collect debts again, the man's dissatisfaction immediately disappeared, but he said eagerly, "It turns out that Hu Batian went to collect debts again, which one to go to collect debts this time, is there a reward?" ”
The young man hurriedly walked forward, nodded and said, "Hey, it's because of the silver bounty that everyone is in a hurry to see if there is a chance to get the bounty."
I heard that Hu Batian was quite generous this time, saying that as long as he helped him find out the hidden silver, he could get twenty taels......
There were a lot of people on the street, and they were accidentally bumped into each other when they came and went, which was a trivial matter, and Ling Chu didn't pay much attention to it.
I just heard the conversation between the two people next to me, and I couldn't help but be attracted all of a sudden.
Listening to the young man's words, it seemed that what he was saying was that if he helped Hu Batian find the hidden silver, he could get twenty taels of silver?
Ling Chu's heart moved, she had a headache and had no money in her hand, this was a money-making opportunity sent to the door.
It's not easy for others to find things, but she has a system, and it's not easy.
Twenty taels, but that's a lot.
If she misses it, she is afraid that she will be distressed.
Seeing that the man's footsteps hurriedly followed the young man away, Ling Chu raised his feet and immediately followed.
He followed the two men through the streets and alleys, and walked for about a quarter of an hour until they came to a large mansion.
The gate of the house was open, and the courtyard was crowded with people watching the excitement.
Ling Chu saw that the man followed the young man in, and she also took the opportunity to go to the house.
"Liu Dongjia, it's just seven thousand six hundred taels of silver, I advise you to take it out as soon as possible. If you drag it any longer, it won't do you any good. ”
The man who spoke was dressed in dark blue silk, looked five big and three thick, and had a fierce expression, and there were five or six followers behind him who knew that they were also not easy to mess with.
Ling Chu guessed that the blue silk man must be the Hu Batian mentioned by the young man just now.
As expected, the man called Liu Dongjia bowed and smiled grovellingly at him, "What, Master Hu, my restaurant has not been doing well recently, and I really don't have so much silver on hand." I beg you to have a few more days, and when I have earned money, I will pay my debt as soon as I have earned it. ”
That Hu Batian is a well-known bully of the Dongcheng generation, but he especially likes to be called an adult.
Listening to Liu Dongjia's words, he smiled coldly, "Liu Dongjia, although your restaurant has not had much business in the past few days, the business has not been bad in the past, so it won't even be impossible to take out this bit of silver." ”
Liu Dongjia cried with a sad face, "Master Hu, I can't hide it, if it weren't for the lack of money, how could I owe so much money." ”
Liu Dongluo's words are true, but Hu Batian must get the silver when he comes over today, otherwise how can he explain to the manager of the gambling house.
"Liu Dongjia, you also know that I was asked by the Tao steward to collect debts, and no matter what, I must get the silver today. Since you don't have any money in your hand, I'm not incapable of being accommodating.
In this way, take out whatever you have in your house, and I will pawn it for you, and turn it into silver and return it to the pottery steward. ”
Hu Batian's attitude was quite gentle, but Liu Dongluo's face changed.
"Master Hu, my family is just a small family, although I have opened a small restaurant, the money I earn is not enough to make ends meet. Where is there anything valuable in my house......"
"Liu Dongluo, I thought that it was not easy for you, and I thought that I would use other things to pawn and sell them into silver, but since you don't appreciate it, then I can only do it."
Hu Batian saw that Liu Dongluo had been gritting his teeth and crying poorly, and the little patience in his heart had dissipated completely, and waved his hand to the little follower behind him.
"Brothers, go in and search, don't let me go with a copper plate."
Liu Dongluo frowned, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Master Hu, I didn't lie to you, my family really doesn't have any silver......
With a wave of his hand, Hu Batian threw Liu Dongluo aside, and the attendant behind him quickly passed him and rushed into the room inside.
A group of five or six people searched around, but finally walked out with a black face, "Boss, the Liu family doesn't even have half a penny, the house is empty, only a few worthless tables and chairs." ”
Hu Batian's face sank, "Okay, you Liu Dongluo, did you hide all the valuable things?" ”
"My lord, I really don't have any money, the restaurant business is not good, and the valuable things in my family have been sold and exchanged for money. I was thinking of buying some good ingredients to make the restaurant business better, and then I would return the money to the Tao steward, but who knew that the business of the restaurant was getting worse and worse if I was unlucky......"
He cried miserably, but Hu Batian didn't believe it at all, and interrupted his cry with a gloomy face and waved his hand, "Since you are not willing to hand over the silver, then I can only ask you for one hand, otherwise I will not be able to explain to Steward Tao." ”
Liu Dongluo saw two followers pressing towards him, and another thin and tall man even pulled out a dagger from his arms, and immediately turned pale with fright, and his legs and stomach trembled.
Ling Chu frowned, he didn't expect this Hu Batian's methods to be so ruthless, and he actually let his followers behead the Liu Dong family. She was just about to stand up and stop her, but she saw someone walk out of the crowd before her.
