Lihua knelt in the wooden cage with a wooden sign and sang opera to Li Hu's memorial tablet. No one in the market came to see her anymore. Every morning, she was pulled by the Li family's carriage, and after noon, she was pulled back and forth again.
Months passed by in a blink of an eye. On this day, Li Biao came to the market's memorial platform with a smile, and said with a smile: "I said Miss Lihua, my third brother's appointment with you is about to arrive, and our Li family has the final say.
talk."
Lihua had already been numbed by humiliation in three months and said coldly: "Then you can let me go."
"Let him go? Haha, Miss Pear Blossom, are you mistaken? That cripple still owes me an unpaid debt. Look, they haven't given it to any of the big boys who came to listen to the show. There are only so many things that can be done in the world.
You can't do business at a loss, right?" Li Biao pointed at the onlookers passing by in the market.
"what on earth do you want?"
"What else can I do? Of course I want you, Miss Lihua, to pay back the money. Is it possible that I go to the lame man to ask for it? Let me do the math, how much does three thousand six hundred taels of silver cost in three months?"
Li Biao took out a small abacus from his sleeve, made a few dials, and said with a smile: "The total with principal and interest is ten thousand taels of silver. Miss Lihua, when will you pay me back the money?"
Lihua scolded angrily: "Despicable villains, you set up a trap to trick my brother Rengui into gambling."
"Haha, it's not me who forces him to gamble. Since he wants to gamble, I can't hold him back. It's not a problem for you to sing in a wooden cage. It's better to sing naked on the stage. I'll do it.
You set up a small gatehouse here, and if you want to come to the theater, you must first pay ten taels of silver, and I will keep your daily income and your debts will be cleared in a short time." Lihua looked at Li Biao's spitting look, if it weren't for
He was imprisoned in a wooden cage on the stage and really wanted to go up and stab him to death. Lihua knew that the Li family had locked her up here for three months, and the Li family not only refused to let her go, but also made excuses to sing for them naked. This was obviously to make her a disgrace.
She is worse than Sister Yao, forcing people to a dead end...
Lihua has completely understood that the Li family wants to humiliate her and avenge Li Hu, but now she is meat on the chopping board. During the three months in the wooden cage, she has clearly understood the Li family's intentions and wants to survive.
It must be harder than reaching the sky. Lihua's ten jade fingers dug deeply into the wooden cage, and the blood dripping from her fingertips immediately seeped into the wood grain. Being in the cage and being monitored everywhere, even death became a delusion.
, a thought "run" suddenly flashed in Lihua's mind.
Li Biao laughed proudly when he saw Lihua staring and saying nothing. For several days, Li Biao was busy building a gatehouse on the tomb. Li An also relaxed his vigilance towards Lihua who was huddled in the wooden cage.
, never expected that Lihua would jump out of the carriage going to the market a few days later and run away. Along the way, it was obvious that Lihua had already familiarized herself with the terrain and ran to the pear forest, running here and there, throwing the carriage away by a wide distance.
Li An ordered his slaves to stop the car and outflank Lihua, so Lihua fled to the outskirts of Yicheng and hid behind a pear tree until Li An and his slaves passed by before daring to come out.
In the pear forest, Lihua thought about everything she had done to save Yao Rengui in the past three months, but in the end she was bullied by the Li brothers. Yao Rengui and the two little girls didn't know whether they were dead or alive. The more they thought about it, the sadder they became.
The more I thought about it, the more upset I sat in the woods and cried. After crying, I realized that the world was so vast that there was no place for me. There were bullies from the Li family in Yicheng who were arresting me, and the ridicule and abuse from the neighbors made me feel overwhelmed.
Lihua felt chilled to the core. She stood up and found a few big rocks in the pear forest and laid them on the ground. She took off her belt and only died to get rid of these endless troubles. Lihua desperately kicked away the big rocks under her feet, and she was standing there in front of the gods.
The international belt was interrupted by a group of strangers...
After hearing what Lihua said, Xiang Xiaotian slammed a pair of iron fists on the pear tree where the two of them were hugging each other. The pear blossoms on the tree were shaken as if there had been a blizzard. He looked up to the sky and shouted: "I'm so mad at this.
People in this world are actually more vicious than evil spirits!"
Chen Mengsheng also sighed sadly: "Miss Lihua, please rest assured. As long as your eldest brother and those two girls are still alive, we will definitely help you rescue them."
Xiang Xiaotian glared and said: "Brother, I have been away from Yicheng for many years but I don't want such evil people to appear here. I would like to see what the Li family brothers are like. The Li family bullies will not be tolerated unless they are eliminated!"
Last time, I let the wise monk give up evil and do good. This time, brother, don't worry about it. There are things worse than beasts in your own land. You see, I won't take care of them all.
"
Chen Mengsheng saw Xiang Xiaotian looking like he wanted to fight with others immediately and said: "Brother, the wise monk in the Golden Buddha Temple has good intentions and he has not harmed anyone's life, so he should be given a chance to change his ways. If he is burdened with human lives,
If you kill the evil people, you will save the good people."
Lihua, who was being comforted by Shangguan Yanran and Qi Ying, heard Xiang Xiaotian's words and said hurriedly: "When I was locked up in the woodshed in the Li family, I heard that the servants of the Li family talked about Brother Rengui and they all came from
The third youngest member of the Li family has sent someone to look after you. The Li family is so powerful that you only have four people. I’m afraid that you will also suffer from the vicious hands of the Li family.”
Chen Mengsheng smiled slightly and said: "The girl's worries are not unreasonable. Now that the Li family has hostages, it is important for us to go and inquire first to make sure that your brother and the others are safe."
Qi Ying said pitifully: "Does Miss Lihua have a safe place to take refuge now?"
Lihua smiled sadly and said: "The old house has been burned down by Brother Rengui. If I escape from the wooden house in the mountain today, they will definitely go there to look for me. The little girl is penniless and has no place to live.
There is no place in the world for pear blossoms to stand like cones."
Shangguan Yanran took Lihua's hand and said, "Just follow us. I think no matter how arrogant the Li family is, they can't do anything to us!"
Lihua shook her head and said: "You are foreigners and don't know the power of the Li family in Yicheng. The Li family here is willing to kill whoever Wang Fa wants. How can we fight against them!"
Xiang Xiaotian said angrily: "Let's go to Li's house and kill him, leaving nothing behind. Let's see if he can fight against these evil people."
Shangguan Yanran rolled her eyes at Xiang Xiaotian and said, "You know we're going to be killed by shouting and shouting. The two sisters still think we are robbers and bandits. Besides, Sister Lihua's people are still in the hands of the Li family. What if they jump over the wall in a hurry?
How can we be worthy of Sister Lihua? We should save people first. The bad guys in the Li family can't escape. We can go find them at any time."
"Haha, junior sister and brother, please stop arguing. I think Miss Lihua is exhausted both physically and mentally. Let her have a good rest. I'll go to Li Ji's mule and horse shop first and then make plans. Now that Miss Lihua has escaped, they will definitely
I will search everywhere. You go to brother's old house to rest for a while, and I will come back to you."
Xiang Xiaotian said anxiously: "This can't be done. The Li family is not a monster. Why should you go alone? My home is not far away anyway. I have settled them down and we can go together." Chen Mengsheng smiled.
Nodding, the group of people walked for half an hour and arrived at Xiang Xiaotian's old house. Shangguan Yanran and Qi Ying took care of Lihua, while Chen Mengsheng and Xiang Xiaotian went out and headed straight to the Li family in the west of the city...
Chen Mengsheng frowned as soon as he arrived at the gate of Li's house. Xiang Xiaotianqi asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you? What did you see?"
"Brother, this Li family is really full of evil and resentment. They must have harmed many people."
"Ah! What are you talking about? Go in and ask them to hand over Yao Rengui and then they will kill these evil people." Xiang Xiaotian ignored Chen Mengsheng's obstruction, rushed forward and kicked the door open, and people poured in from inside.
A dozen domestic slaves came out and surrounded Xiang Xiaotian and Chen Mengsheng...
Li An scolded the three brothers of the Li family for not being good at guarding Lihua. Hearing the door being kicked open, he yelled: "Who doesn't open his eyes?
Are you tired of living if you dare to come to the Li family to cause trouble?"
Chen Mengsheng was shocked when he first saw Li An. There were three innocent ghosts of young women on the back of a forty-year-old man. He sneered and said, "You are such an evil bitch. You killed three people and you are not afraid of their ghosts finding you."
Are you asking for your life?" Li An's face suddenly changed color, and he secretly thought about how the black man in front of him knew that he had killed three girls who did not want to enter the Li family...
Xiang Xiaotian shouted: "If you tell your family members to come out, you will let Yao Rengui and the others go. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Li An waved his hand and said: "Why are you raising these idiots? Beat them to death for those two ignorant people." All the slaves picked up the guys and shouted to kill them. But these people only bully good people.
The common people's domestic slaves are no match for Xiang Xiaotian. They often can't get up after just one encounter...
"Stop..." The three brothers of the Li family heard reports that someone had come to kill them. When they came out, they saw several slaves lying in front of the door and shouted loudly to stop Xiang Xiaotian.
Li Biao, with a smile on his face, said: "What do you mean? Why are you two here? Our Li family is considered to be well-known in Yicheng. You have come to trouble the Li family.
Who instigated it?"
Chen Mengsheng also smiled and said: "I guess you are the smiling King of Hell. The most you are carrying is pretending to be ignorant here for us. If you hand over Yao Rengui and the others, you may be able to reduce your sins in the Yin Law Department of the underworld!"
"
Li Biao's smile became even more exaggerated: "Hahaha, Yao Rengui? Who is Yao Rengui? I don't know what they are talking about. The Li family has always been a well-behaved person and conduct business honestly. How can they bear human lives?
, We don’t know about the underworld, but we should always try to enjoy comfort in life...let it go...let it go..." Before Li Biao could finish his words, Chen Mengsheng dragged him over, and several domestic slaves
Knowing that today was going to be a tough time, they stopped and looked at Chen Mengsheng.
"Let me ask you one last time, will you let him go?" Chen Mengsheng said coldly.
Li Bao, the third among the Li brothers, said unhurriedly: "You let my fourth brother go. I captured Yao Rengui and sent people to guard him. If you have anything to do with me, I can tell you."
Without me sending people to deliver food to them, all of them would have died in two or three days, and then you would be the one to kill them..."
