Along the way, He Er looked east and west, as cheerful as an elf, but he didn't want anything and just put it down after looking at it. He was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.
The two of them came to a jewelry shop unknowingly. He'er had no intention of going in and continued to move forward. However, Qin Huaidao clearly saw the desire in He'er's eyes and smiled: "Go in and take a look. I haven't given you a gift yet."
"Thank you, young master, but the things inside are for ladies and rich ladies. This slave is not worthy of it. Please find another place. I have been craving candied haws on a stick for a long time. Can you give me some candied haws on a stick?"
"Go in and pick something. It's my first time to give you a gift, how can I be careless?" Qin Huaidao said with a smile, regardless of whether He'er agreed or not, he went in first.
He'er's eyes suddenly became misty, and he was so moved that he went in and picked out the cheapest one. However, Qin Huaidao could see that He'er liked the other one more, which was about twice as expensive, so he said directly: "Seller, please take it.
Wrap this up."
"Okay!" the store owner agreed.
He'er hurriedly stopped: "It's too expensive, so I won't use this one."
"Listen to me, that's all." Qin Huaidao interrupted in a pretentious manner.
"Oh!" He'er was so obedient that she didn't dare to say anything else. She felt sweet in her heart, and a voice kept ringing in her mind: "The young master bought a gift for He'er. Is this what the mothers in the house have said?"
Love thing? The young master must like He'er, He'er likes this gift very much."
The store owner wrapped it in silk and put it in a small box. After checking the account, Qin Huaidao picked up the box and handed it to He'er. He'er caught it and held it tightly for fear of losing it. Qin Huaidao looked at it and said happily: "What's wrong?"
?”
"No...it's nothing. Thank you. He'er likes this gift very much. You must keep it well and don't lose it." He'er said softly, but in a firm tone.
The shopkeeper, a woman in her thirties, thought the two were husband and wife. When she saw this scene, she smiled and said, "You are so lucky, little lady. You have a husband who loves you very much."
"Thank you!" Qin Huaidao said politely and walked out without realizing anything was wrong.
He'er's heart was pounding when he heard these words. Seeing that Qin Huaidao didn't object to the shopkeeper's words, he showed an acquiescent expression, and even more embarrassed, his face turned red to the roots of his ears. He didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly caught up, secretly
Joy - the young master really likes He'er!
Along the way, He'er stopped looking at anything else and held the small box tightly. She followed Qin Huaidao without daring to speak or look at Qin Huaidao. Her heart was beating wildly and she was absent-minded.
Qin Huaidao didn't know why and asked worriedly: "Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?" After saying this, he reached out to touch He'er's forehead.
He'er hid quickly in embarrassment, lowered her head and explained: "It's okay, young master!"
"Is it really okay?"
"It's okay!"
Qin Huaidao, a steely straight man, didn't understand the little girl's thoughts. He didn't bother to worry about it when he didn't look like something was wrong. He continued walking forward and unknowingly came to an alley. He stopped at the door of a small courtyard and shouted: "Is there anyone there?
?”
Not long after, a young man came out, wearing a coarse patched robe with a haggard face. He looked at Qin Huaidao and asked, "What's the matter with this gentleman?"
"But Ma Laoliu's family."
"Exactly!"
"Who are you?"
"Ma Xiaoqi, Ma Laoliu is my father!"
The names matched and the address matched. Qin Huaidao took out two hundred taels of silver from the bag and handed it over. The other party was startled and took a few steps back. Qin Huaidao explained: "Don't be afraid. I'm in Qin Li, the Duke of Yiguo's Mansion.
A few days ago, my father was murdered while helping the Duke of Yi to haul coal. This is the wish of the Duke of Yi, so please accept it."
Two hundred taels is not important to Qin Huaidao, ill-gotten wealth should not be used in vain, no matter how much it is given, it is not appropriate to give him more, and there will be a lot of money to gain, but for a poor family, it is a huge amount of money that can change the fate of a poor family.
"This is impossible, and the murderer has nothing to do with Duke Yi Guo's government." The other party was frightened and said quickly.
"If you help Duke Yi's government do things, Duke Yi's government must be responsible. Take it. It's not just your family, but the other victims as well." Qin Huaidao explained.
Thinking of not being able to open the pot at home, Ma Xiaoqi's eyes flashed with desire, but she didn't dare to take it.
Qin Huaidao understood the other party's thoughts. He was an ordinary low-class person who lived a humble life. He was afraid that he might get caught in trouble, so he gave the other party the money and explained: "Don't worry, just take it. The murderer has been caught. Don't worry about retaliation. If anything happens, just come to the house."
Just look for me."
"Who is Mr. Lang?"
"This is our young master!" He'er said proudly.
"Ah, you are Mr. Qin, please kowtow to Mr. Qin!" The other party was so frightened that he knelt down and quickly kowtowed, his face uneasy.
Qin Huaidao was most afraid of this. He originally wanted to finish the matter without disclosing his identity, but he was yelled at by He'er. He quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, don't worry, take it. I can't handle your father's matter."
"
Ma Xiaoqi said quickly: "Master Qin is kind. This matter has nothing to do with Master Qin. It's just that those villains are too cruel. I heard that Master Qin entered the Red Boat Club alone yesterday and arrested them all. There is hope for a big revenge. Xiaoqi
I set up a longevity card for you last night. I didn’t expect that you would come to visit me today. How can this make..."
Looking at the money in his hand, tears rolled down his face. As if he had made a decision, Ma Xiaoqi asked resolutely: "Sir, do you still need someone to haul coal? I am willing to go."
"Aren't you afraid of bad guys?"
"I'm afraid, but I'm still willing to go to repay the kindness of the adults."
Qin Huaidao was a little moved. Every time more dogs were slaughtered in Zhengyi, the lower class people paid more attention to the love of boys. He solemnly said: "As long as you are not afraid, you can take as much as you want. I will arrange for people to escort you and go back and forth together. If something unexpected happens, you will still be compensated with two hundred taels."
Never less than a penny, a true man promises a thousand gold coins!"
"Really?" The other person's eyes lit up and he became excited.
He'er was unhappy and said, "Young Master, can I still lie to you?"
"Yes, yes, yes -" he said hurriedly: "The little one is stupid and can't speak. Old General Qin's life is loyal and brave, and the most important thing is trust. Mr. Qin is certainly not bad. Little one will find someone soon."
.”
"Don't worry, do you know the other victims?"
"We all pull trucks in a car dealership, so we naturally know each other."
"That's good. Can you please call everyone here? There's a family of guests out in the alley who are here, right?"
"I know, I know!"
"Help me call people to Keyunlai, as well as anyone who is willing to pull the cart. I will set up a few tables in Keyunlai and wait for your arrival. Is there any problem?"
"I don't dare to let you spend money, so I'll go ahead." The other party agreed wholeheartedly.
Qin Huaidao glanced at He'er, and the two of them also walked out of the alley and came to Keyunlai Restaurant. It was too troublesome to run from house to house, so it would be best to solve the problem at once. Putting a table to show sincerity, and then paying the compensation on the spot, it would be possible
Impress everyone and help pull coal.
Driving a carriage is a technical job, and the carriage can overturn if you are not careful. Not everyone can do it, otherwise you can buy a carriage and let the men in Qinjiazhuang do it themselves.
The waiter came out and asked, "How many guests are there?"
"Ask for the biggest room. Cook all the dishes you are good at. Someone will come to see 'Master Qin' soon. Please help us attract them." Qin Huaidao didn't know how many people would come, so he could only decide on the biggest one.
