In order to be in a hurry, after going out, Ling Chu hired a carriage.

Of course, Ling Chu was the only one in the car, and Ge's puppet soul was floating outside the car to show her the way.

Ling Chu heard Ge Shi mention what the rich merchant said so as not to have too many dreams at night, and just wanted to ask what she heard the rich merchant say.

Ge's puppet soul suddenly pointed to a steamed bun stall on the side of the street with an excited expression, and said to Ling Chu, "Miss Ling, it's him." He was the rich merchant who took my daughter, and I heard his companion call him Li Pingguang. ”

Ling Chu looked in the direction of Ge's finger and happened to see a man in stone blue silk hurriedly walking into the bun stall.

Li Pingguang didn't know that he was being targeted by one person and one puppet.

After entering the bun stall, he immediately sat down at the table, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup, and drank it all in a few gulps. Seeing the stall owner who sold steamed buns come forward to greet him, he took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table.

"Bring me three meat buns, and ask for another thirty meat buns, ten vegetarian buns, wrap them carefully for me, and I'll take them with me later."

The stall owner didn't expect a big customer to come early in the morning, and he was immediately overjoyed.

At this time, it was time for breakfast, and there were many customers sitting on the steamed bun stall, and when they heard the words of the man and the stall owner, they all looked sideways.

However, it is not surprising to see the way the man is dressed.

This person looks like a businessman, and when he buys such buns, he must be going out to do things.

Li Pingguang poured another cup of tea, and just wanted to drink it, but suddenly found a girl walking in front of him.

Looking up, a flash of surprise flashed in Li Pingguang's eyes.

It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl.

Ling Chu stood still at Li Pingguang's table, glanced at him, and asked directly, "Excuse me, your name is Li Pingguang?" ”

Li Pingguang didn't expect this girl to know her name, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, "That's right, my name is indeed Li Pingguang, I don't know what happened to the girl?" ”

Ling Chu nodded, "That's right." I have come to collect your debt. ”

The guests who were eating breakfast saw a beautiful girl suddenly come, and secretly looked at it with their eyes. Hearing her words, I immediately looked at her in surprise.

After all, it's the first time I've seen someone collect debts and chase a bun stall, and she's still such a good-looking girl.

Li Pingguang was stunned, "Girl, I'm afraid you recognize the wrong person, right?" ”

Ling Chu, "Didn't you just say that your name is Li Pingguang?" ”

"It's true that my name is Li Pingguang, but ......"

Ling Chu glanced at him and interrupted him unceremoniously, "Since you admit that your name is Li Pingguang, then I didn't find the wrong person." ”

Li Pingguang frowned, "But, girl, I don't know you." ”

"It doesn't matter, I'm here to collect debts from you, not to make friends with you."

Li Pingguang originally thought that this girl was deliberately looking for an excuse to talk to him when she saw that she was dressed up and rich.

It can be seen that the other party keeps asking him to collect debts, and he is a little impatient.

"Girl, I don't know where you got my name, but I don't know you. Also, I've never borrowed money from you. ”

"Just because you don't know me doesn't mean you don't owe debt."

Seeing that the girl in front of him couldn't make sense, Li Pingguang was annoyed, "Well, since the girl keeps saying that I owe you a debt, then you can tell me when and where I borrowed money from you?" How much did I borrow from you, and when I borrowed money, did I sign a contract, and who was the Chinese person? ”

Ling Chu was not intimidated by Li Pingguang's momentum, she glanced at the other party fixedly, and said word by word, "The debt I collect is not money, but a person." ”

Li Pingguang frowned, "What kind of girl are you, it shouldn't be that you have a problem with your brain?" One will collect debts, the other will beg people, aren't you making fun of me? ”

"I bought a handmaid the other day, but I heard that you forcibly bought her. I have come to get you back from that servant. ”

"What kind of servant girl, I, Li Pingguang, am a businessman, and I came to Beijing to do business, but I haven't bought any servant girl."

Thinking of the people in the house and the companions who were waiting for him to buy steamed buns and go back, Li Pingguang didn't want to be entangled by the girl in front of him anymore, so as not to miss the time to leave Beijing.

He took out a small piece of broken silver from his sleeve pocket and threw it on the table, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Okay, don't you girl just want to make money." This piece of silver is given to you. Take the money and go away, don't waste my time here. ”

The guest who was eating breakfast next to him couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that Li Pingguang's expression was not weak, only impatient.

That girl is so beautiful, with hands and feet, it is not better to make some embroidery and sell it than anything else. Why is he so thick-skinned, his mind is useless on the right path, and when he sees a rich person, he wants to use some crooked thoughts to seek other people's money.

Ling Chu saw those strange glances, but she didn't pay attention to them.

Glancing down at the piece of broken silver on the table, Ling Chu said to Li Pingguang with a faint gaze, "I heard that you bought Liu Xiangju, the daughter of Liu Dongluo, the former owner of Donglaifu, yesterday.

That Liu Dongluo's daughter is my handmaid. ”

Li Pingguang chuckled in his heart, and his face changed suddenly.

However, in the end, I have seen a lot of people in the world, and I just panicked for a while, and immediately returned to normal.

glanced at the diners next to him with his peripheral vision, and saw that many people were looking at his side and whispering. Li Pingguang calmed himself down, turned his head and said impatiently.

"I don't know what you're talking nonsense about, what kind of owner from Fudong, I don't know, and I haven't bought his daughter."

sneered, Li Pingguang added, "Girl, don't you think this silver is too little, and when you see that I am a foreigner, you want to put these names on my head, so I blackmail some silver?"

I advised the girl not to be too greedy, take the money and leave quickly, if you continue to entangle, I will send you to the yamen to report to the official. ”

Li Pingguang spoke sharply, wanting the diners next to him to see his righteousness and awe-inspiring, and at the same time scaring the girl in front of him away.

There was a diner next to him who couldn't look at it, "Girl, let's go quickly, at a young age, why don't you learn well." Go home and embroider some flowers and sell them, you can also make some money, don't always think about these crooked thoughts. ”

Another lady also persuaded her, "That is, if you are a girl from a family, if you are arrested by others and taken to the yamen, your reputation will be ruined." ”

"The girl is about to get married, it's really not good, with your appearance, it's not difficult to find a wealthy family to marry. Why do you want to come out and extort money by all these degraded means......"

The corners of Ling Chu's eyes twitched, she didn't have the appearance of being cheated and deceived, how could these people think that she was doing some kind of crooked and evil way.

Ling Chu didn't reason with those spectators, but said to Li Pingguang, "You want to report to the official?" Coincidentally, that's exactly what I wanted. ”
