08 The sky is falling
You must know that the old lady has been haunted by the death of his second son, but no matter how much manpower and material resources are mobilized, he still can't catch the so-called "Dragon Girl" and "Tai Bai Xing", and he can't even touch the traces of this old and young, so that he has to drink alone every night and get drunk with the moon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info At this moment, Mr. Xiao suddenly mentioned this matter, so how could he not be surprised?
At that moment, Old Lady Zhang couldn't help but sit up straight, and asked in a deep voice, "What does Mr. want me to hear?" Could it be that you know where they come from?"
Mr. Xiao frowned and muttered: "Don't tell lies in front of real people, although the old man has heard about the murder of Zhang Ergongzi, he doesn't know the details. ”
Listening to his answer, it was clear that he was entertaining the old lady in this chapter. The old lady's face suddenly darkened, her body was already leaning back in the chair, and she said lightly: "If it weren't for the face of Lu Xiaohou, you would be a dead man by now." ”
However, Mr. Xiao suddenly snorted, and said proudly: "Although the old man doesn't know the details of this, if the old man says that after three days, the old man can not only return the 100,000 taels of silver owed by Lu Xiaohou to your old man, but also hand it over to your old man as profit together with the murderer who killed Zhang Ergongzi." I don't know such conditions, is Mrs. Zhang willing to take a gamble and agree to the old man's request to postpone the repayment for another three days?"
The old lady was made to cry and laugh by his words, it was really the sunrise in the east and the rain in the west, and she was happy and sad for a while. Hearing that Mr. Xiao actually wanted to find out the murderer of his second son and hand it over to himself, for a while, Mrs. Zhang didn't care whether this was true or not, and immediately said: "If Mr. can really find out the murderer of my child, don't say that the 100,000 taels of silver will not be returned to you." Even if it's a million taels or ten million taels, I can give it to you. ”
Mr. Xiao nodded slowly and said, "Thank you, Old Lady Zhang, it's just that the old man does what he says, it's one thing to help your old man arrest the murderer, and it's another thing to repay the debt." 100,000 taels of silver, and in three days your old man will come to me, and I will return it in full."
After saying this, Mr. Xiao stopped paying attention to the old lady. He took a few steps away, turned his head to look at a man in sackcloth on the Nanmu chair on the right, and shouted: "Ren Zhenbei, you still have the face to collect debts?"
The man in sackcloth named Ren Zhenbei saw him suddenly shouting at him without warning, and immediately raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily: "What kind of thing are you old poor and sour, dare to yell at me like this, beware of ......"
Mr. Xiao didn't wait for him to finish, immediately interrupted his words, and said lightly: "On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Qiyun Mountain, listen to Yunguan...... Do you want the old man to continue? From now on, I will only count three times, and if you don't let the old man get out of the Hou Mansion after three times, then you will blame the old man for talking too much. ”
When Ren Zhenbei heard him say this time and place, his face turned red for a moment, and he blurted out: "You...... How do you know ......" but Mr. Xiao had already counted down loudly: "Three...... 2. ......"
Listening to a series of loud noises of "crackling", Ren Zhenbei stomped his feet violently and stepped on several square bricks in the hall one after another. Then he turned suddenly, pulled back and ran outside, and in an instant he disappeared without a trace. I only heard Mr. Xiao shouting loudly behind him: "If you don't want to take back the 100,000 taels of silver you lent, it should be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds for you." ”
Everyone saw that Mr. Xiao was just a few casual words this time, and they scared Ren Zhenbei, who was full of lakes and wide, and ran away in a smoke, secretly curious, I don't know what trick Ren Zhenbei is hidden under the so-called "seventh day of the first lunar month, Qiyun Mountain, listening to the cloud view", and he can actually let him hear it, not only no longer ask for the 100,000 taels of silver, but also don't even want his own face.
Looking at the lobby of the Jinghu Marquis Mansion at this moment, among the nine people who came to collect debts, there were four people, Boss Tang, Zhang Nanfei, Mrs. Zhang and Ren Zhenbei, who were all settled by Mr. Xiao's extravagant words, and among the remaining five people, if one more person was persuaded by him, it would account for most of the number, then the debt collection of this group today would be equivalent to failure.
It is this who Mr. Xiao intends to convince next, and whether he can successfully convince this person, has become the key today. Everyone present also understood this and tacitly understood it.
At this critical moment, I saw the woman in colorful clothes sitting at the end of the right seat immediately stood up and said with a smile: "This Mr. Xiao is polite, please forgive the little woman for inconvenience in revealing her name." Thanks to the love of all the friends on the rivers and lakes, they all call me a 'jade-faced fairy'. ”
You must know that the nine people who came to collect debts today are all heroes, even if they are not extremely smart, but they are also extremely shrewd. Seeing that it was this old poor acid who took the lead and controlled the whole situation, at this critical moment, of course, we must turn the passive into the active and reverse this one-sided situation. Therefore, this jade-faced fairy, as the only woman among the nine people today, immediately took the lead in speaking, in order to disrupt the order of persuasion that Mr. Xiao had originally prepared, and then take the lead.
And at the moment, although this jade-faced fairy is a young woman, she is a first-class figure in the rivers and lakes in terms of kung fu and mind. At the banquet in the Yueyang Tower that day, she had a competition with Xie Yixiang, the third lady of Xie Fengxuan's family, and the results were evenly matched. It can be seen that this jade-faced fairy is by no means an idle person.
Now she stepped forward and asked Mr. Xiao first, and Mr. Xiao was really a little stunned, so he had to give up his hand and say: "It turned out to be a jade-faced fairy, and I have been looking up for a long time." Recalling that when he first entered the lobby, he was thirsty and accidentally drank a bowl of leftover tea from this woman, and Mr. Xiao was a little embarrassed for a while.
The jade-faced fairy immediately sensed his thoughts, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Listening to this Mr. Xiao's mouth, he is really eloquent." The little woman is very curious, I wonder what way Mr. will use to impress me?" she said, and she took a step in the direction of Mr. Xiao, and suddenly revealed a calf like white jade, looming between the gaps in her skirt.
Seeing the jade-faced fairy with such an expression, it was really pitiful for me, and everyone was pleasing to the eye, but they couldn't help but secretly cheer. As the saying goes, heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, this gentle township is a hero's mound, and it has never been tried and tested. Don't look at this old poor and sour age, and think that he can't do it, in fact, the older an old man of his age, the more difficult it is to accept the grace of beauties.
Seeing the thousands of charms of the jade-faced fairy, Mr. Xiao couldn't help but squint his eyes, and replied: "How can I impress the jade-faced fairy? Hehe, I'm afraid that this answer can only be told by the fairy himself." Otherwise, even if the old man wants to break his head, he can't think of it. ”
The jade-faced fairy sneered, and scolded as if he was not angry: "It turns out that Mr. is also an unserious master, it seems that you men are all the same, and you will talk nonsense to coax the little girl." Then Mr. Xiao said "Oh?", and then asked, "Could it be that the fairy doesn't like to listen to nonsense, but wants to hear the truth?"
The jade-faced fairy frowned slightly, and said in a coquettish voice: "Of course you have to listen to the truth, but then again, there are only a few men who dare to tell the truth in these days." The little woman said first, and lent Lu Xiaohou the 100,000 taels of silver, but I have accumulated the rouge gouache money for a long time, if I can't get it back today, when the rouge gouache in my boudoir runs out, I am embarrassed to go out to meet people again. Is that all that gentleman is so ruthless?"
Mr. Xiao looked at her thin grease powder cheeks, couldn't help but take a few puffs of dry smoke, and muttered: "Clear water comes out of hibiscus, and it is natural to carve and decorate." In fact, even if there is no fat powder, the fairy must be a Peugeot character. ”
