Xu Huai said: "What to do next? The first step is of course to redeem yourself, Miss Qiong'er!"
"My worth is not high. I only need three thousand taels of silver. If you can get it, you can redeem me." Liu Qiong'er said.
"Miss Liu can make a hanged man happy. Isn't it possible that she hasn't even saved three thousand taels of private money in the past few years?" Xu Huai asked.
"You said there might be something wrong with the money. Would it be useful if I took it out?" Liu Qiong'er said angrily.
She walked to the bed, opened a secret compartment, took out a wooden box without giving up, and effortlessly dumped ten ingots of silver onto the quilt for Xu Huai to see; Xu Huai glanced and saw that there was still a lot of inventory in the secret compartment.
Liu Qiong'er has been in contact with people from all three religions and nine circles in the past few years. Naturally, she has heard about silver in iron and silver in tin.
After Xu Huai reminded her yesterday, she took out the silver and looked at it carefully. Without opening it, she determined that most of the silver ingots she had exchanged at the Tang Family Warehouse in the past were defective.
Not to mention that these silver ingots were all privately minted, even if they were stamped with the exclusive stamp of the Tang Family Warehouse, would the Tang Family recognize it if she took them out to redeem herself or sue the government?
Liu Qiong'er knows better than anyone the cruel methods Yue Honglou usually uses to control those disobedient girls and boys. What else can she struggle with except breaking her teeth and swallowing them in her stomach?
Do you think your death is not fast enough or ugly enough?
"Miss Qiong'er, do you want to make a bet with Xu Huai?" Xu Huai asked.
"What are you betting on?" Liu Qiong'er asked.
"Miss Qiong'er, you will use these silver ingots to redeem your life with Yuehonglou. Will Yuehonglou dare to test the authenticity of this silver?" Xu Huai said.
"Do you think the Tang family is really so easy to bully?" Liu Qiong'er couldn't help but laugh and wanted to tell Xu Huai to stop making trouble. They had no chance of winning in this matter.
"I specially borrowed this leather armor today, and I also brought two more short blades. I think I can take a gamble." Xu Huai sat up, took off his coat, and exposed the leather armor underneath;
The quality of the saber is average. If you really get into a fight, it may not last long before it breaks off, so I keep two more short blades beside me.
"..." Liu Qiong'er stared at Xu Huai in surprise.
"People always have to fight." Xu Huai said with a smile.
"..." Liu Qiong'er took a deep breath and sat back at the desk, her face uncertain.
Xu Huai spoke lightly, but Liu Qiong'er dared to easily challenge Yue Honglou for a showdown?
"Who should you call for redemption? I'll call someone for you," Xu Huai stood up and said, "Miss Qiong'er, don't worry too much. With Wang Xiang's poem here, even if you lose,
I don’t believe that Yue Honglou dares to sink Miss Qiong’er into the pond to plant lotus flowers tonight? If you hesitate again, don’t blame me for looking down on you in the future!”
"I'm just a joker, and I want you to respect me!" Liu Qiong'er said angrily, but after thinking about it carefully, she had to admit that Xu Huai was right, and she gritted her teeth and moved all her private possessions over the past few years to
He came up from the table, called in the maid who was serving him, and said, "Hongcui, go call Mother Wang, and Manager Tang will come over. They promised me that I can redeem myself anytime. I want to redeem myself today!"
…………

"It's so good. You didn't say anything in advance. How can you leave right away? We, mother and daughter, are getting along. You should tell us in advance. If you do this, how can I explain it to my boss?"
Grandma Wang is the leading figure in Yuehong Mansion. Although she has already lost her beauty and age, she has successfully trained several girls to become popular, which also makes her status in Yuehong Mansion as stable as Mount Tai.
Even Tang Lingde, who was in charge of affairs on behalf of the Tang family, was always very polite to her and would discuss everything with her.
Grandma Wang has long forgotten the painful memory of being abducted to Yuehong Mansion. She couldn't be more satisfied with her current situation. No matter how she looks at Liu Qiong'er, who is like a cash cow, she is also one of the guarantees of her status in Yuehong Mansion.
At this time, he redeemed himself and left.
Grandma Wang didn't know what kind of medicine Liu Qiong'er had taken wrongly, but she thought that she would still count on her to get money from her benefactor in the future. Making sure that she was in a good mood and had a cooperative attitude was more important than anything else.
Therefore, although she was furious in her heart, she was still able to hold it back and walked over with Tang Lingde to persuade Liu Qiong'er not to act impulsively and do stupid things.
"I just want to know if what Mother Wang and Manager Tang promised me still counts? I have saved enough money to redeem myself, and I am looking forward to redeeming myself today. I don't want to stay here for a moment. I hope that Mother Wang and Manager Tang will fulfill my wish and release Qiong."
Leave!" Liu Qiong'er gritted her teeth, knowing that there was no turning back when she fired her bow.
"What are you doing here, you idiot?" Tang Lingde was holding back his anger. He didn't want to rush to use tactics against Liu Qiong'er, but he stared at Xu Huai, who was wearing armor and holding a knife, with a sullen face.
"Your uncle is a fool. I am your mother. Can't I just sit here?" Xu Huai glared at him angrily.
Tang Lingde was not in a hurry to vent his anger on Liu Qiong'er, a bitch who didn't know how to show appreciation, but how could he continue to watch Xu Huai act so recklessly in Yuehong Mansion?
He didn't make any other move. He just glanced at the thugs behind him. At that moment, someone jumped forward. He stretched out his left hand to grab Xu Huai's collar, and made a fist with his right hand to smash Xu Huai's face directly.
:
"How dare you come to Yuehong Mansion to act wild? Open your dog eyes and see, is this a place where you, a bastard like you, can sit?"
Xu Huai stepped away from his seat and stood up. His left hand turned into a claw and shook the man's eyes. He kicked his right leg like a giant python that suddenly sprang out from the depths of the grass. He kicked the man's chest in a flash of lightning and heard a continuous "click" sound.
, the man actually broke the door and threw him out.
Before the other thugs behind Tang Lingde could make a move, Xu Huai drew out his knife in a split second and struck Tang Lingde head-on with one step.
Fu Mang Dao is a sword of military formation, and there are no complicated routines. Whether it is horizontal cutting, stabbing, or heavy chopping, the essence of many changes is to ensure that the force can fall on the edge just right.
Xu Huai was clumsy in the past, but no one can deny his innate supernatural power. When incorporated into a military formation, he had the courage to fight one against ten.
In the past, Xu Wujiang also hoped that he could make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and deliberately asked him to practice more chopping techniques with the Fumang Dao so that he would have a solid foundation for joining the Inspection Department in the future.
Before Lu Xiong could point him out, Xu Huai drew his sword and slashed, with the momentum of splitting the mountain with some force.
Xu Huai drew his sword and struck straight at him. Tang Lingde felt as if he was frightened by the nightmare and had an irresistible trance. His body froze, and he had the gut feeling that he would be split in half by this sword in the next moment.
"Xu Huai, don't kill anyone!" Liu Qiong'er screamed sharply.
Xu Huai put away his knife and stood back behind Liu Qiong'er.
Tang Lingde had been pampered for many years, and his skills had long been blunted. He stood there dumbfounded, doubting that Xu Huai's knife had already struck him. As long as he moved a little, his body would be split into two halves.
There were two thugs in the room. They followed Tang Lingde with arrogant faces and wanted to intimidate Liu Qiong'er. At this moment, the back of his head felt cold. He turned around to see the man who had been kicked out by Xu Huai, who had already been kicked out.
I couldn't breathe after kicking myself, and I didn't even get up now.
This is embryonic killing!
Xu Huai didn't even look at the two men who took off their knives to protect Tang Lingde. He just stood there holding the knife, frowning impatiently, and asked Liu Qiong'er rudely: "How long will this crap thing last? Wang
I only gave me ten coppers, but I don’t want to miss Aunt Seventeen’s steamed bacon—if these little bastards don’t give way, I’ll kill them for you, and I’ll kill them all!”
This guy has only received ten coppers from killing the embryo, so he doesn't care about drawing his sword to kill people?
Is the world crazy, or is it really so cheap to find a killer?
Tang Lingde felt a chill in his neck at this moment, thinking that if Liu Qiong'er hadn't called him to stop, his mother would have died unjustly!
I'm only worth ten coppers?
Does this idiot from the Xu family have any brains at all?
"Brother Xu, please be patient. Mother Wang and Manager Tang are both reasonable people," Liu Qiong'er comforted the irritable Xu Huai, and then explained to Aunt Wang and Tang Lingde, "After Qiong'er redeemed herself, she still has some private matters."
I want to move my belongings out, so I asked Mr. Wang to ask Brother Xu to come and help - Brother Xu does things regardless of the importance, and I also asked Mother Wang, so don't take offense to Manager Tang."
"What's light or what's heavy? It's serious to hurry up. It's only ten fucking coppers, and you still want me to serve you all night?" Xu Huai stretched out his legs to hook a chair, lifted it up, knocked open the wooden lattice window, and raised
He raised his sword and was about to kill him, but Liu Qiong'er held him back.
Xu Huai impatiently pushed Liu Qiong'er towards Grandma Wang and shouted: "I was so angry with you yesterday that I didn't even let you touch my breasts! Please feel free for me!"
There were two thugs guarding outside the window. They were caught off guard. The chair was thrown out and the wooden window collapsed, making them scream. But they held the weapons in their hands, but they didn't know what to do next. They all rushed towards Tang Lingde.
Look over.
Tang Lingdeneng, who was in charge of Yuehong Mansion on behalf of the Tang family, had also experienced storms. After he calmed down from the shock, he also felt a severe headache.
He knew that there was no way to reason with this idiot from the Xu family. Furthermore, this idiot from the Xu family didn't look like he was trying to reason with him. It was impossible for him to send someone to drag him away easily.
However, if we really want to use the knife to fight, it may take a few lives to subdue this bastard, but is this really going to get to the point where people are killed?
Tang Lingde suddenly realized that if the trouble really got to the point where people were killed, no matter whether it was the fool from the Xu family who splattered Yuehonglou with his blood, or whether three or five people in Yuehonglou died under the knife of this fool, the matter would not stop there.
"Why hasn't Xu Wujiang's mother arrived yet?" Tang Lingde asked the people in the yard angrily.
Liu Qiong'er asked the maid to come over and say she wanted to redeem herself. When Tang Lingde learned that this fool from the Xu family was there, he took precautions and sent someone to find Xu Wujiang.
"I don't know where Xu Wujiang went. Maybe he was sent out by Deng Langjun. He found Di Niang and said that he was entrusted by Mr. Wang, and she couldn't care about him!" Someone in the yard replied, "Do you want to send more people?
Going to find the second master?"
Tang Lingde thought that the second son was the deputy chief of the inspection department, but the killer was indeed sent by Wang Zhen. Can the second brother really bring someone to drag the killer away?
Tang Lingde stared at Liu Qiong'er for a while with a gloomy expression, and asked: "Is that piece of paper really the lyrics gifted to you by Mr. Wang?"
"Manager Tang is also interested in ci writing?" Liu Qiong'er asked pretending to be confused.
Only then did she believe that Xu Huai's plan worked, and that it was Wang Zhen who was really named Tang Lingde, or the one the Tang family feared after Tang Lingde's death.
Even if ordinary people die, they have no grievances to redress.
Among the girls and boys sold as slaves in Yuehong Mansion, one or two of them did not obey the rules every year and were beaten to death, killing chickens and monkeys. But even if they complained to the officials, they would only be sentenced to a murder of a slave by mistake and be fined only silver.
Therefore, if it had not been for Wang Zhen, she would have made a fuss about redeeming herself today, and Tang Lingde would have found out on the spot that there was something wrong with the money, and would most likely not have allowed her to appeal, and would have ordered her to sell herself to receive customers today.
Even beating her to death was just a matter of surrendering to the official and accepting a fine of two to three hundred taels of silver.
It's different with Wang Zhen.
With Wang Zhen behind her back, Xu Huai and her can really make waves by having a big fuss in Yuehong Mansion today.
Wang Zhen seems to have been demoted to Tangzhou and has no official position, but Wang Zhen really wants to redress the grievances of his victim. How much price will the Tang family have to pay so that the county magistrate Cheng Lunying and the governor Chen Shi can continue to favor the Tang family?
Or will Cheng Lunying and Chen Shi take this opportunity to blackmail the Tang family?
Seeing that Tang Lingde was afraid, Liu Qiong'er calmed down and picked up the poem on the table and handed it to him...
