Liu Yuan's face turned blue and white when he said that he had studied hard for ten years in order to gain fame, but had no choice but to fail several times, so he could only make a living by setting up a stall and selling calligraphy. But he was not the only one to do this. Besides,
He didn't steal or rob, he made money with his hands, so although it was a bit embarrassing, he was still doing well. But Xiao Ningzi's words stabbed him in the heart, making him lose face, especially when the people around him looked at him
Curious eyes.
Liu Yuan lowered his voice and said, "No matter what you say, I won't agree. You'd better leave quickly."
Xiao Ningzi chuckled and said: "What's the matter, do you feel embarrassed? In fact, you live in shame every day. If I were you, I would have hanged myself long ago. How can I still have the shame to continue living in the world? Otherwise, you ask
Ask the people here if they think you deserve to die."
Although Liu Yuan is older than Xiao Ningzi, he is immersed in studying all day long, and in terms of scheming, even if ten of them are tied together, he is no match for Xiao Ningzi.
Sure enough, when Liu Yuan heard this, he almost went crazy and said, "What do you want? I told you that I won't write a letter for you. It's useless even if you force me."
Although Liu Yuan was not as scheming as Xiao Ningzi, he could see from Xiao Ningzi's attitude that this so-called letter was definitely not simple, otherwise Xiao Ningzi would not have pressed on him like this.
"How can I force you? I'm just telling the truth. Think about it for yourself, are your parents working hard to earn money for you to study, so that you can set up a stall here? Do they want to see you like this day and night?
Liu Yuan, I can give you a chance to get out of this predicament, think about it carefully, do you want it or not?"
Facing his words, Liu Yuan sneered and said, "Are you so kind?"
Xiao Ningzi said with a smile: "It's not a kindness, it's just what everyone needs. You write a letter for me, and I will give you what you need most urgently now - money!" As he said that, he flicked the painting Liu Yuan hung.
: "Although it's not too much, a painting like this would have to sell thousands of pieces at least."
A thousand paintings... In other words, at least a thousand taels of silver. Just writing a letter can earn thousands of taels of silver. This realization made Liu Yuan's heart beat.
Seeing that Liu Yuan didn't say anything, Xiao Ningzi didn't urge him and just looked at the paintings leisurely. He believed that Liu Yuan would be tempted, but if he really wasn't tempted, he would have to hire someone else.
Fortunately, he was not disappointed. After struggling for a long time, Liu Yuan said in a deep voice: "There are many people here, so why don't you go to my house and talk about this in detail?"
"Okay." Seeing that he had taken the bait, Xiao Ningzi naturally didn't say anything. After Liu Yuan packed up his things, he returned home with him. Liu Yuan handed the few taels of silver he earned to his wife and let her receive it.
I took a few kids to buy some delicious food.
When they were alone, Liu Yuan made a cup of tea for Xiao Ningzi: "You want me to copy the letter, do you have the original manuscript?"
"Of course." Xiao Ningzi took out Yunli's and Hongshi's letters from her sleeves and handed them to Liu Yuan. After reading them carefully, Liu Yuan's expression became suspicious, "These should be the handwritings of two people, and one of them seems to be
You have an extraordinary identity, I dare to ask, who...are you?"
The ones Yunli used to practice calligraphy were fine, but Hongshi's letters revealed more or less his identity.
Hearing this, Xiao Ningzi no longer deliberately held back her voice and said sharply: "To be honest with Mr. Liu, our family is from the palace."
"In the palace..." Although Liu Yuan had guessed a little, he was still shocked when he heard Xiao Ningzi's admission, and said in a trembling voice: "You... you are the father-in-law?"
"That's right." Xiao Ningzi came up to Liu Yuan and said with a half-smile: "Mr. Liu, you now know the identity of our family, so you can't refuse anymore. Not being able to make money is secondary, but the important thing is,
It is very likely that the family will be affected.”
"I...I..." Liu Yuan regretted it, but now it was too late to say anything. He could only say helplessly: "I promise you, but you must not hurt my family."
Xiao Ningzi chuckled and said: "If you help our family, you are our family's friend. How can our family hurt your family? Just don't worry."
Liu Yuan nodded, and after getting the Four Treasures of the Study, he said, "How do you want to write this letter, father-in-law?"
Xiao Ningzi stretched out two fingers and said: "Not one letter, but two letters." He pointed to Hongshi's letter and said: "Write this letter first, we hope you can write it."
At this time, Liu Yuan could only do as he was told, but as Xiao Ningzi spoke sentence after sentence, the shock in his eyes could no longer be described in words, and even his hands were trembling. After finally finishing writing,
He said in a trembling voice: "Father, who...is this letter written by?"
Xiao Ningzi took the letter he had written and said while reading it: "At this time, we might as well tell you directly, do you know the second elder brother?"
Liu Yuan's expression changed and he asked tentatively: "Are you talking about the second elder brother who led the troops to force the emperor to abdicate?" Everyone knew about Hongshi's force to force the palace a few months ago.
, to this day there are still people talking about this second elder brother who was forced to have an abortion after dinner.
"Not bad." Xiao Ningzi ignored Liu Yuan's ugly face, raised the letter in his hand and said: "Your character is 70% similar to the second elder brother, but it's a pity that it's not enough. Our family doesn't ask you to give 10%, but
**Completeness is a must, not to mention that the words behind you are deformed due to trembling hands. Our time is limited, so you should rewrite it quickly."
The pen in Liu Yuan's hand seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms and he could not pick it up. "Father, what is written in this letter... is to be beheaded. Please spare this villain. He just wants to live a stable life. At most...
...At most, the villain will not take part in the imperial examination. Tomorrow, no, I will take my wife and children and leave the capital immediately."
Xiao Ningzi pretended to be surprised and said: "Mr. Liu, what are you doing? Get up quickly. You are alone. You look taller than our family. How can we ask our family to spare you?"
How could Liu Yuan dare to stand up and kowtow: "Father, please show mercy and spare this villain. I promise that I will never tell anyone what happened today."
Xiao Ningzi put the letter paper on the table and said: "It's too late, Mr. Liu, you'd better write quickly, don't waste our time. If you really don't want to, we won't force you, but can you see tomorrow?"
Our family can’t guarantee the sunrise.”
In fact, Xiao Ningzi doesn't have this ability at all now. The Nala clan does have secret guards, but they are beyond his control. But you don't need these to deal with Liu Yuan. He can make Liu Yuan obediently just by opening his mouth.
Do what he says.
Liu Yuan didn't know that Xiao Ningzi was just bluffing. He broke out in cold sweat and cried bitterly: "Father, please spare my life!"
