Volume 2: A sudden change in the prison, a red-clothed man goes out to find a thief Chapter 215 I know someone is going to scold me for breaking the chapter today, so I apologize in advance, hehe
How much does Banjiexian love his money? This has always been a question worth thinking about.
There is no doubt that he has a lot of money. After so many years in the world, the information he sold must be worth at least 8,000 yuan, if not 10,000 yuan. Adding the price of his information, it may not be said that he is as rich as a country, but there is absolutely no doubt that he is a wealthy man.
But Li Si had never thought that it would be so difficult to pull a hair off his body. He begged him for more than half an hour before the man reluctantly took him to the backyard and secretly took out a fifty-liang silver note from the room and gave it to him.
"You have to pay it back." Instead of handing over the money immediately, Banjiexian reminded Li Si again.
"Oh, I know, I know." Li Si said as he reached out and touched Banjiexian's hand, and the fifty-tael silver note fell into his hand silently.
As for this amazing skill of using nothing in his hand, Banjiexian is naturally far inferior to him.
"Hey, you thief, do you want to rob in broad daylight?" Seeing the silver note was in Li Si's hand in a blink of an eye, Banjiexian suddenly became anxious. He knew that he should not show the silver in front of this thief.
"Okay, okay. It's not like I won't return it to you. Why are you in such a hurry?" Li Si dodged the Banjiexian who wanted to snatch the money back and flicked the banknote in his hand and said.
"Okay, I'm going to go buy medicine for Xiao He, you go ahead and do your thing."
After saying that, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared in the yard.
It has to be said that Li Si's current lightness skills have reached the level of transcendence. In the eyes of ordinary people, it can be said to be the means of immortals.
Seeing that Li Si just said hello and then disappeared, Banjiexian stood there staring with his eyes wide open.
After a long while, he finally came to his senses and cursed at the empty house:
"Good job, Li Si, so all the work in this store is given to me!?"
It's like you are the grandfather before borrowing money and the grandson after borrowing money.
…
How tight-lipped Zhang Susu is is also something that everyone can see.
As a restaurant owner, she had heard enough gossips from neighbors and drunken nonsense to write a diary of hundreds of thousands of words. But she never said a word of gossip about others behind their backs, which was one of the reasons why Qianjialou had been able to maintain a good reputation for a long time.
But before today, Yan Ziqing had never thought that it would be so difficult to pry a word out of this man's mouth.
She had been trying to persuade Zhang Susu for half the afternoon, but Zhang Susu refused to tell her a word about her benefactor.
This stinky vegetarian bun must know the news about the benefactor.
Looking at Zhang Susu's evasive eyes, Yan Ziqing had already confirmed this.
She and Zhang Susu grew up together. How could she not know how capable this man is?
Every time she shows this expression, there is something being hidden from her!
After being fooled by Zhang Susu again by evading the main point, Yan Ziqing finally couldn't bear it anymore. He sat at the table, grabbed Zhang Susu's hand, and shook it, begging for help.
"Sister Susu, please tell me the news about my benefactor. Isn't it okay for me to work like a cow or a horse for you in the future?"
"Why do I need you to work like a slave for me?" Zhang Susu rolled her eyes in amusement. How could she snatch girls from Wanhualou? Qianjialou was a restaurant, not a brothel.
But she also realized that if she couldn't get anything out of him today, Yan Ziqing would probably not leave .
After all, now that she has redeemed herself, it is entirely up to her to decide when to return to Wanhua Tower. In addition, she is the top prostitute in Wanhua Tower, so when the time comes, Mother Liu will probably have to beg her to go back.
"Oh." Sighing helplessly, Zhang Susu reached out and held Yan Ziqing's wrist, and said slowly.
"Ziqing, it's not that I don't want to help you, but your identity as a benefactor is really hard to explain."
"What's there to talk about? Even if he is a thief, I will follow him." Yan Ziqing replied with red eyes.
Looking at her appearance, Zhang Susu smiled bitterly and sighed.
You are right this time, he is really a thief.
Zhang Susu wanted to say this, and then tell Yan Ziqing all about Li Si's identity , and let them handle it on their own. But she also knew that she couldn't do this, otherwise it would harm Yan Ziqing and Li Si.
Of course she knew her sister's temperament.
He always looks cold and indifferent when treating others, but he will do his best to those who have done him a favor.
When Yan Ziqing and her mother were young, they had a hard time. Zhang Susu once came to their house and gave them two steamed buns. Then one day, Zhang Susu was bullied by kids from the neighboring street, and Yan Ziqing picked up a wooden stick and chased those kids for three blocks.
Later, the adults from those families came to her house. Yan Ziqing just endured it without saying a word and endured a beating from her stepfather.
Zhang Susu knew all of this, so she couldn't tell Yan Ziqing about Li Si, at least not now.
Li Si is certainly a good , and he has done Qianjialou a favor, otherwise Zhang Susu would not have kept a thief in her store.
But no matter what, Li Si is still a thief, and Zuo Liangping is still keeping an eye on him. Zhang Susu has been seeing all of this.
If she told Yan Ziqing about Li Si's affairs, Li Si's identity might be exposed. Then she would not only feel sorry for Yan Ziqing, but also for Li Si.
So Zhang Susu would rather be a little cruel now and hold back from speaking, to be nice to both Yan Ziqing and Li Si.
But deep down, she still hoped that Yan Ziqing could discover something on his own.
Xiao Si has a good temper, is skilled in martial arts, is willing to endure hardships, and is handsome. If Ziqing follows him, he will have a good ending.
Thinking of this, perhaps out of selfish motives, Zhang Susu pursed her lips, looked at Yan Ziqing hesitantly and said.
"When you came in, did you see Captain Zuo downstairs?"
Yan Ziqing didn't know why Zhang Susu suddenly mentioned Zuo Liangping, and asked after a moment of hesitation.
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"He is here to look for your benefactor. Your benefactor was a chivalrous thief in the martial arts world. He was very famous. Now he lives in seclusion in Mingzhou City. Captain Zuo wants to catch him. This is all I can tell you."
After saying that, Zhang Susu lowered her head and gently patted the back of Yan Ziqing's hand.
"You have to be more careful. Even if you find something, you must not let Captain Zuo know. Remember?"
…
"snort."
When Yan Ziqing came out of Zhang Susu's room, she looked at Zuo Liangping who was sitting downstairs and couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Zuo Liangping naturally noticed her slightly hostile gaze. He looked up in surprise and met her gaze, then lowered his head and drank his tea without caring.
Hey, I guess he’s almost monopolized all the tea in Qianjialou recently.
Yan Ziqing didn't say much to Zuo Liangping. He just walked out the door with a cold face.
Just at this moment, Li Si came in with a few bags of herbs. The pharmacy in Mingzhou City was not big, but fortunately it had everything he needed, so he didn't miss anything.
Looking at Yan Ziqing walking towards him with a frosty face, Li Si was stunned for a moment, then made way to the door.
He couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, this girl's temper is still as bad as ever. When he gave her money before, she also looked like she didn't like it.
As the two passed each other, Li Si smelled a faint scent of watercolor.
But what Yan Ziqing smelled was the herbal scent that she had been thinking about day and night.
