Volume 2: A sudden change in the prison, a red-clothed man goes out to find a thief Chapter 213: Mingzhou City's Combat Power Gradually Out of Control
Fengping City, Fengyu Tower.
In the slightly dim room, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the window sill, making the once dark wood grain appear a little golden and red.
The sky outside the window was gradually getting darker, but it was not yet dark. There was a ray of light between the clouds, which showed that the setting sun had not yet faded and the moon was not yet bright.
The clouds were like scales, the wind was blowing loudly, the crowds in the city streets had begun to disperse, leaving only the scattered buildings, standing quietly in the sunset.
“Yeah.”
When the fire started to sound, Xiao Muchu sat at the table in the room and slowly lit an oil lamp.
The candlelight flickered, and the flickering flames illuminated his cheeks. In the sunset and the lights, he took out an envelope from his arms. This was a letter that had just arrived from Mingzhou City today. Since he came back from Mingzhou City last time, he had instructed his men that he would personally handle all the news from Mingzhou City in the future.
"Has he caused any trouble again?" With a light chuckle, Xiao Muchu opened the envelope in his hand.
But the next moment, what fell out of the envelope made him stunned. It was a jade pendant, white jade pendant, warm color, full and flawless, finely carved, and natural.
As the owner of Fengyu Tower, Xiao Muchu naturally recognized this jade pendant.
Isn’t this Li Si’s jade? How did it get sent to me?
Xiao Muchu frowned slightly, looked at the jade in his hand again, then took out the letter from the envelope and began to read.
By the time he finished reading the letter, the expression on his face had become neither funny nor sad.
This Li Si, is he using my place as a pawnshop? What do I need this thing for?
Shaking his head and putting the letter away, Xiao Muchu casually tossed the jade pendant in his hand, then smiled helplessly.
Never mind, I'll just give it back to him next time we meet. It's just two hundred taels of gold, it's okay for him to just take it, I'll just do him a favor.
Thinking of this, Xiao Muchu stood up and began to search around. Finally, he found a small notebook under his pillow, spread it out on the table and wrote.
In the second month of the Dingmao year, Li Si borrowed 200 taels of gold on credit.
This is a habit he and his mother learned, to write down things they can't remember in a notebook. It must be said that this method is really useful.
For example, in the first few pages of this book, there are many other contents written, such as: In December of the Bingyin year, he was badly defeated by Mu Wu on the chessboard in twenty rounds, and he held a grudge once, etc.
Humph, Xiao Muchu slowly closed the book, and that fox-like smile appeared on his face again.
He already has many ideas about what to do with this favor next time.
…
At the same time, night had already fallen in Mingzhou City.
The dinner in Qianjialou was very lively that day, with laughter coming from the table from time to time.
"One hundred taels to redeem you, one hundred taels to let you go back and live a good life, and one tael of silver as my reward to you."
Ning Caihe sat at the table pretentiously, making a gesture as if she was throwing money, and said with a cold expression.
He was imitating the scene of Li Si giving money to Yan Ziqing that day.
Everyone sitting at the table looked at him with interest, including the strange old man and Wada Mamoru. Since the two of them didn't cook much, they had become frequent visitors to Qianjialou .
There must have been silence for a while before Xiao Cao was the first to shout excitedly.
"Wow, handsome brother Ye Si, that Yan Ziqing must be fascinated by you."
"Fuck off, let's eat!" Li Si, who was sitting aside, said with a dark face.
For no reason, I don’t know why these people suddenly want to hear about what happened that day.
Now Yan Ziqing's matter has been resolved. It is said that she redeemed herself, but she did not leave Wanhua Tower, but remained there as a prostitute. In her own words, she was reluctant to leave her mother and sisters there, and she had already gotten used to the life there. As long as she didn't have to sell her body, there was no need for her to leave.
"Tsk, if I had two hundred taels of gold, I would definitely be more handsome than him." Hao Dayou, who was sitting at the corner of the table, said disdainfully, with a hint of sour grapes.
"Then you have to have the ability to get the money." Xiao Cao picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth and replied sarcastically. It can be said that he was merciless.
"You." Hao Dayou immediately became unconvinced.
Fortunately, Zhang Susu stepped in to mediate.
"Okay, okay, today is such a happy day, everyone please stop quarreling."
After saying that, she looked at Li Si again, pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, made a little gesture, and asked shyly.
"By the way, Xiao Si, how did you get this money? Tell me a little bit about it."
Everyone knew that she was blinded by money again, so they tactfully kept silent.
Li Si could only raise his eyebrows and answered helplessly: "It's nothing, it's just some of the property left behind."
"Wealth?" Xiao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up. She smelled gossip.
"What kind of wealth, white or black?"
Looking at the person who immediately came up to him , Li Si frowned and tapped her forehead with chopsticks.
"Of course it's cheap, what are you thinking about."
"Hiss." Xiao Cao rubbed his head and sat back in his seat: "It's just cheap goods, why hit them?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Everyone at the table laughed. No matter what, they were all happy that Yan Ziqing's problem could be solved.
Because he didn't want to make everyone worry, Li Si had agreed with Ning Caihe early in the morning not to talk about Liu Mama's affairs. So Ning Caihe only talked about it until the two of them left Yan Ziqing's yard, and didn't say anything more.
When the story was over, everyone still seemed unsatisfied, so they started chatting about other trivial matters, so much so that the dinner lasted for nearly half an hour before they could finally clear the table.
After everyone left, Xiao Cao and Hao Dayou cleaned up the table.
Li Si took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and stopped Banjiexian in the backyard.
"Hey, old ghost, let me ask you something."
"Tsk." Looking at Li Si's sneaky look, Banjiexian smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Can you please be a little polite? I'm old enough to be your grandfather, but do you think it's appropriate to call you old ghost?"
After saying that, he patted his sleeves, sat down by the firewood in the yard and spoke.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Cough." Because there was really no way to refute, Li Si coughed dryly, then looked around, came close to Banjiexian, and asked in a low voice.
"Do you know Madam Liu from Wanhua Tower? Where does she come from?"
If this person was just an ordinary martial artist, Li Si would not take it seriously, but this Mother Liu's martial arts were obviously not just ordinary.
Li Si had used 80% of his strength in the palm strike against her because he was in a hurry and did not have time to stop. But even so, the two were still evenly matched. This meant that Mother Liu's martial arts skills had at least reached the level of a top master.
The so-called top master is someone who has surpassed most famous masters. This concept is very vague, but there is indeed such a title in the world.
Just kidding, including the strange old man, the half-immortal, and Li Si, this small city of Mingzhou already has four top masters. This would not be a normal thing in any place, even in the imperial palace , there would not be so many top masters.
"Mother Liu." Upon hearing this name, Banjiexian's expression suddenly changed.
"Did you meet her?"
"Well, we also had a palm fight." After moving his wrist, Li Si said with a slightly gloomy expression.
"This." Banjiexian's expression became strange, and after a long while, he spoke.
"Don't worry, she has no ill intentions. She just settled here like us."
"Then who is she?" Li Si assured that he had never heard of such a person in the world, so he was really not willing to be careless.
He didn't think that top masters would be so bored that they would just gather in one place for nothing, although he and the strange old man were in such a situation now.
Under Li Si's gaze, Banjiexian's face suddenly turned red. After hesitating for a while, he waved to Li Si and said.
"come over."
"what?"
"come over!"
Half-forcing Li Si to lower his body, Banjiexian put his mouth close to Li Si's ear and spoke in a very low voice.
"That's it..."
But just as he finished speaking, Li Si straightened up and shouted loudly.
"What, she's your old flame!?"
