Chapter 37 You and I are not in the same realm
Liu Hu was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by the sound of breaking the door. He looked at the person sideways with resentment.
Then Ah Si rushed to the bed, looked at Liu Hu, and said excitedly: "Boss, are you okay?"
"If you have something to say, could you please knock on the door next time you come in?" Liu Hu said impatiently.
Ah Si scratched his big bald head and said embarrassedly: "I am just anxious. Be careful next time."
"The four hundred and fifty-sixth time."
"So many times? Oh, Boss, don't care so much. A real man should not be fussy about trivial matters." Ah Si was already used to it. He smiled foolishly and said, "Boss, I'm relieved to see that you are okay. I'll go out and eat something first."
"Where is Luo Fanchen?" Liu Hu felt a little strange when he didn't see Luo Fanchen.
Luo Fanchen is too murderous, and no one can calm him down when I am not around.
Ah Si never lied. He scratched his stomach and said, "Maybe he went to eat."
"You farted!" Liu Hu knew very well about Asi's little tricks. As long as he scratched his belly, he would be lying.
Ah Si knew that if he lied to Liu Hu, he would be found out, so he said hesitantly, "According to his progress, he should have reached Shangjing by now."
"What? Who is he going to hit?" Liu Hu narrowed his eyes. Among these people, the one he was most worried about was Luo Fanchen.
Wenxuan knows how to protect himself, Asi is honest and doesn't cause trouble, Zheng Peng has military power and no one dares to touch him as long as he doesn't act out of line. Only Luo Fanchen is aloof and arrogant. I gave him the strongest Qingyi Guard, but he still couldn't win the support of the people.
Asi could see that Liu Hu was really angry, so he told him everything that had happened. The more Liu Hu listened, the angrier he got. It was not so easy to get rid of the secret agent of the Luo family.
"Help me up."
Ah Si quickly helped Liu Hu up and advised, "Boss, Luo Fanchen is just anxious, that's why he acted like this, don't be angry, anger is harmful to your health."
"Take me back. Also, send a message to the Green Guards to tell Luo Fanchen to come back to see me. The water in the dungeon is already up to your waist. Do you still want that little green snake of yours?" Liu Hu smiled bitterly. He knew very well that he shouldn't be angry at this moment, but if Luo Fanchen had any accident, the loss to him would be too great.
Ah Si picked up a chair and helped Liu Hu up, then he said while carrying the chair: "Boss, it's windy outside, you should wear more clothes."
After saying that, he quickly took the clothes that Lao Jin had already prepared and put them on Liu Hu.
Liu Hu's eyes were full of brilliance. He wanted to clench his fist but accidentally pulled the wound, causing him to gasp in pain.
"Oh, you're coming down. Give me the money quickly so I can go back to the village." Hua Ying saw Liu Hu coming down, and without caring about others, she ran straight to him and stretched out her hand to ask for money.
Liu Hu was in a bad mood to begin with, so he chuckled and said, "Shouldn't you give it to me?"
"What? Why should I give it to you?" Hua Ying didn't know how Liu Hu calculated it, it was clearly written in black and white.
Liu Hu pointed at the dishes she had just eaten and said, "Old Jin, can you help this girl calculate how much these dishes cost?"
From Hua Ying's description, Liu Hu learned about her life experience. It would be a waste to keep such a calculating person in the barren mountains. It would be better to bring her under his command and help him build his own empire.
Liu Hu has always valued talents, so when he saw Hua Ying's strengths, he naturally didn't want to let her go.
Lao Jin had already calculated the cost of the food and drinks, and took a step forward and said, "The total is three thousand six hundred and thirty-two taels. Don't ask for the change. Just give me three thousand six hundred taels."
"Ah?" Hua Ying was so shocked that she couldn't close her jaw. She just had a meal, but it cost so much. She slammed the table and said, "Is this a shady shop? A meal is so expensive?"
Lao Jin was not flustered. He took out the list he had prepared long ago and said, "This is the price of each dish. The King Ginseng is the treasure of our restaurant. All customers know it."
Hua Ying took the bill from Lao Jin, and her face became darker the more she looked at it. This meal was so expensive. Seeing Lao Jin so calm and composed, Hua Ying knew that what he said was true.
"Hey, I'm your savior. Shouldn't this meal be a token of your gratitude to me?" Hua Ying's expression immediately changed and she began to show weakness.
"Brothers should settle accounts clearly. You saved me, so didn't I promise to give you one thousand taels of silver?" Liu Hu was thinking about plotting against Hua Ying in his mind, so how could he give her a chance to turn things around?
Hua Ying never thought that she had saved the wrong person and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Seeing Hua Ying's embarrassment, Liu Hu chuckled and continued, "If you don't have money, I can help you think of a solution."
He clearly remembered that Hua Ying had said before that if he had no money, she would send him to Nanshan to mine stones. Now was the time to get back at him.
"What's the method? If you dare to sell me to a brothel, I will die in front of you." When Hua Ying said this, she glanced at Liu Hu. She could see that Lan Xuan was Liu Hu's territory and there was no possibility for her to escape.
Liu Hu didn't know what was wrong with Hua Ying that she would actually think of selling herself to a brothel. He smiled and said, "Since you don't have any money, why don't you stay and work for me? I'll give you dividends every month. When you make enough money, I'll let you go."
"Besides, I can help you find your brother."
This was what Liu Hu really wanted to say. Hua Ying was the only one left on Naitou Mountain. If he went back, he would either be surrounded and suppressed, or be captured and become a rebel. It would be better for her to stay with him, at least he could save his life.
Hua Ying didn’t take the first few sentences to heart, but the last sentence about looking for her brother made her feel moved.
She and her brother depended on each other in Naitou Mountain and had a very good relationship.
"Are you really the prime minister of the current dynasty?" Hua Ying was a little unconvinced. After all, her brother often told her that the people living down the mountain were devils who would eat people without leaving any bones. Liu Hu looked like a decent human being, but the things he did were annoying.
Liu Hu sat on Ah Si's shoulder and said condescendingly, "It's absolutely genuine."
"Then can you really help me find my brother?" Hua Ying bit her teeth and continued.
Liu Hu said with great certainty: "Of course."
"Okay, I'll go with you." She didn't even ask what Liu Hu asked her to do, and agreed directly.
As smart as she was, she had already concluded in her heart that Liu Hu would definitely let her do everything within her ability. Besides, Liu Hu was the Grand Tutor at a young age and was surrounded by countless women. Naturally, he would not look down on her skinny figure, so she agreed readily.
Liu Huzhi smiled complacently and said, "When I come back, I will leave all my assets to you. I hope you won't let me down."
After saying that, Liu Hu urged Ah Si to go find Luo Fanchen. Hua Ying glanced at Lao Jin and said, "Now, do I not have to pay back the money?"
No matter how dumb Old Jin was, he understood what Liu Hu meant and nodded quickly. Hua Ying smiled and took two jars of wine from the shelf and held them in her arms, saying, "Keep these in the account."
After saying that, he ran out in a hurry.
