"Is this Mr. Xie?" Xiao Niang's crisp voice sounded, with a hint of fear and expectation in her words.
In the ruined temple, Xie Changyuan opened his eyes. He had long noticed that someone was approaching, but what was puzzling was that he did not recognize the woman in front of him.
He asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The young lady nodded, and then with Xie Changyuan's permission, she walked in timidly and behaved in a rather reserved manner.
The young lady claims her name is Song Rong, and she is the maid of Sigui Tower.
"Mother Wang sent her slaves to come here to ask for thanks to the brave man, hoping that the brave man can save his life!"
Song Rong came from a brothel. Although she was just a maid, she was very articulate and explained her purpose in a concise and concise manner.
The purpose of coming here this time is actually to invite Xie Changyuan to visit Sigui Tower, hoping that he can take action to protect the safety of Sigui Tower.
Xie Changyuan asked, "Why do the officials ignore murder cases in your city?"
Song Rong shook his head.
"If the government was useful, slaves would not come here to seek strong men."
As she said that, she took out a cloth bag from her arms and opened it, revealing several one hundred taels of silver notes.
"These are just small gifts from my mother. If you are willing to go, the price will not disappoint you."
Song Rong was a little uneasy, because in recent days she had heard about Xie Changyuan beating the master of the shrine to death in Xicheng, and she was afraid that this fierce man had a weird temper and would swallow her up if he said the wrong word.
Xie Changyuan didn't pay attention to Song Rong's strange expression. He looked at a few banknotes and fell into thinking.
In terms of money, he still had a few taels of silver left, and the terms negotiated with Princess Linyang also included monetary rewards. He was indeed unmoved by the banknotes presented to him.
Moreover, he has serious things to do, and there are many things that need to be arranged at the moment, so it is really not suitable to go into other troubled waters.
Thinking of this, he directly rejected Song Rong's request.
Song Rong was anxious.
She hurriedly said, "If the strong man feels that the money is not enough, I can go back and get it again!"
Looking at the anxious Song Rong, Xie Changyuan still shook his head.
"It's not about money, you can go."
Xie Changyuan's words were indifferent, but they gave people an irrefutable meaning. It was obvious that he had made up his mind not to get involved in this matter.
Song Rong looked sad, lowered her head and silently sorted out the banknotes. She did not put the money away, but folded it and placed it in front of Xie Changyuan.
"Mother Wang said that there is no reason to take back the money she sent, no matter whether it can be accomplished or not. I hope that the strong man will not embarrass this servant, so please accept it."
After saying that, Song Rong stood up and left. She slowed down a little as she walked out of the ruined temple, but she didn't get the hoped-for stay.
Xie Changyuan watched Song Rong leave and couldn't help laughing when he looked at the stack of banknotes.
Although this little girl was young, she had a delicate mind and deliberately left money in order to make Xie Changyuan feel guilty.
However, Xie Changyuan did not relent.
He closed his eyes again and adjusted his breathing. After a few hours, he stood up, went to the moat to wash his face, and returned to the small ruined temple to do a set of boxing exercises to stretch his muscles.
It was very quiet near the small ruined temple. Usually no one came here, but at this moment, another carriage came here.
And looking at the style of the car, it was actually an official carriage with a high status.
Xie Changyuan stood with his hands behind his back and saw the driver taking a footrest and putting it under the car. An old man got out of the car and looked at Xie Changyuan with a smile on his face. His face was majestic but also quite dignified.
for kindness
This person, Wang Huan, the current imperial censor of the Song Dynasty, had already had a relationship with Xie Changyuan before.
