Since the war between the two countries, the residents of Baihu City have been in panic. Some moved away overnight, while others clung to their homes because they had no place to go.
Luo Xiaomin is one of those people who doesn't know where to go.
She has no relatives and friends, and usually just relies on petty theft to make ends meet. Today, she suddenly saw Mu Yunmeng walking out of a nice house. She was very elegant and well-dressed.
It seemed like she was a good master. That's why she came up with such a way when she had an idea. But she didn't expect that it actually... succeeded.
When Luo Xiaomin said those one hundred taels, she felt her heart trembling. When Mu Yunmeng nodded and agreed to give her the one hundred taels, Luo Xiaomin felt sad and angry again, that is
Why doesn't she want a little more.
"I don't have so much money with me right now. Just find a place and I'll bring the money to you." Mu Yunmeng lowered his eyes and said in a low voice.
When Luo Xiaomin heard what Mu Yunmeng said, she wanted to ask him if he thought he was a fool. If he never came back after leaving, who would he ask for money?
"Can't I go with you to get the money?" Luo Xiaomin looked at Mu Yunmeng with a sad expression, tears were about to come out again.
"No." Mu Yunmeng quickly rejected her proposal, "I don't want my current woman to see you, and I don't want you to know my current address. If you want this money, just find a place.
Go wait for me. If you don't want it, forget it."
Xi Honglei noticed Luo Xiaomin's uneasiness, pursed her lips and smiled, Xi Honglei said with a solemn expression: "Girl, I will treat you as a good person to the end. Why don't you look at it like this? You go find a place and let me go first."
My servant will follow you, and then I will accompany this young master to get you some money. After we understand the matter, how about we all pretend that we don’t know each other?"
Luo Xiaomin was naturally very happy with Xi Honglei's proposal. Her people followed her, and if she couldn't get the money, she wouldn't be able to escape. But she didn't know who was being taken advantage of...
Luo Xiaomin secretly glanced at Mu Yunmeng, and seeing Mu Yunmeng reluctantly nodding, Luo Xiaomin felt happy.
Luo Xiaomin named a place and left with Feng Rusong. Xi Honglei looked at Luo Xiaomin's retreating back, glanced at Mu Yunmeng with a smile in her eyes, and said, "I didn't expect the way you look at people.
, has also changed.”
"Have you had enough trouble?" Mu Yunmeng's calm expression made it difficult to see his happiness and anger. "Tell me, what are your plans?"
"Have you been discovered?" Xi Honglei chuckled, approached Mu Yunmeng, and said, "I'm just bored and want to kill time, and a person like this looks similar to a disciple of the Beggar Clan, and he is very well-informed. I want to inquire by the way.
It would also be good to find out what happened in White Tiger City recently."
Mu Yunmeng took out a silver note and gave it to Xi Honglei. Xi Honglei looked at the amount on the note, shook his head and said, "No. Go find ten men, each holding ten taels of silver.
Let’s go again.”
Mu Yunmeng looked at Xi Honglei's smirking face and wondered what she was planning. He and Shu Kuang found ten men, and Mu Yunmeng and his party walked in the direction Luo Xiaomin said in a mighty manner.
The money was about to be received, so Luo Xiaomin was naturally very happy. When they arrived at a simple earthen house, Luo Xiaomin asked Feng Rusong to guard the door, and then walked in.
Luo Xiaomin entered the room, looked at the three men sleeping soundly on the kang, and whispered: "Get up, don't sleep anymore, I'm back with money!"
When the three men heard that Luo Xiaomin mentioned the money, they immediately sat up energetically and asked, "Where is the money?"
"Send it over right away, wait and see the show!"
Luo Xiaomin smiled triumphantly. Seeing the expressions of the three of them not believing in her, Luo Xiaomin secretly cursed in her heart.
These three people are Luo Xiaomin's adopted brothers, and they can be regarded as growing up together with Luo Xiaomin. When Luo Xiaomin was very young, she was the only one left in the family. And these three people came to Baihu when Luo Xiaomin was ten years old.
of the city.
Luo Xiaomin didn't know where they came from or who they were. But they saved the life of Luo Xiaomin who was fighting wild dogs for food, so Luo Xiaomin just let it take its course and mixed with them. So many years have passed.
, although the life of the four people was not good, they were not starving to death.
Luo Xiaomin whispered what happened to the three of them. When they heard the three of them saying in disbelief, "How can there be such a stupid person?", Luo Xiaomin raised her eyebrows and said, "You will know later."
Mu Yunmeng quickly arrived at where Luo Xiaomin was. Looking at Feng Rusong squatting at the door, Mu Yunmeng asked in a low voice: "Where is the person?"
"Inside the house." Feng Rusong pointed to the door behind him and said with a smile, "There are other people here."
After listening to Feng Rusong's words, Xi Honglei smiled slightly and took the lead in pushing open the door and walking in. She twisted her waist very coquettishly and entered the room. Xi Honglei waved the handkerchief in her hand and shouted loudly under Luo Xiaomin's puzzled gaze.
He said: "Girl, you really have to ask customers to bring money to your door. You said that one customer costs ten taels of silver. How much effort did it take for me to convince the customers you picked up to come with me!"
Xi Honglei's words shocked everyone in the room, including Luo Xiaomin and her three adopted brothers, as well as Mu Yunmeng and Shu Kuang, who walked in closely behind.
As soon as Shukuang heard Xi Honglei's words, the contempt for Luo Xiaomin in his heart immediately turned into sympathy. Leaning against the wall with his hands folded across his chest, Shukuang looked at Luo Xiaomin standing there with a stiff expression and said nothing, and smiled helplessly.
"It's been really difficult for you to receive ten guests in the past two days. Fortunately, these officials still remember your kindness, and they also said they want to see where you live, so that they can come to you again in the future, so they followed me here.
.Otherwise, it’s really hard for me to convince these people! But girl, why didn’t you accept their money at that time and insist on letting them deliver it to you later?”
The more Xi Honglei talked, the more she got into the drama. The more Luo Xiaomin listened, the more she felt something was wrong.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Why are you picking up guests? If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful I tear your mouth open!" Luo Xiaomin angrily cursed and cried.
"Eh? I'm talking nonsense? The gentlemen are all waiting for you outside the door, how could I talk nonsense?" Xi Honglei walked slowly to the door, opened the door, and motioned for the men to come in.
Luo Xiaomin stood there with a blank mind, watching men one after another walk up to her, each throwing ten taels of silver to her. When the sixth man came over, Luo Xiaomin finally couldn't help but said, "Wow"
A cry came out.
"I don't want your money anymore! What a bully!" Luo Xiaomin threw all the money in her arms to the ground in anger. Looking back at the three men behind her who looked at her with gloomy expressions, Luo Xiaomin cried and explained.
Said: "I didn't do that kind of thing, you believe me!"
The four of them agreed, but for Luo Xiaomin, the other three also really regarded her as their younger sister. Luo Xiaomin was usually naughty by nature. Although the four of them did not control her too much, they also warned her about what she could do.
What not to do. I didn’t expect today…
"Ouch, are you crying?" Xi Hong burst into tears and asked angrily, "When you asked for money before, why didn't you think about the future?"
Facing Xi Honglei's ridicule, Luo Xiaomin no longer knew what to say. The opponent had a large number of people, and there were only four people on his side to fight to death. If they really fought, there would be no suspense about who would lose and who would win.
of!
Xi Honglei waved his hand and called out all the unnecessary people. Sitting casually on the kang, Xi Honglei looked around the environment in the room, and then said to Luo Xiaomin: "Don't cry now, I have questions to ask."
You, if you answer me truthfully, the money will still be yours."
"You, who are you?" After feeling wronged, Luo Xiaomin also discovered something was wrong. She took a few steps back in fear and stayed away from Xi Honglei and others. Luo Xiaomin asked uneasily: "What do you want to ask me?"
"Don't be nervous, I won't embarrass you." Xi Honglei said with a smile: "I just want you to know that although making money is not difficult, it is not as easy as you think. Just pick up someone on the street
A person can get a hundred taels of silver just for crying. There is no such thing as pie in the sky."
Xi Honglei glanced at the three men standing in front of Luo Xiaomin and asked, "Are you her family?"
"So what?" The leading man looked at Xi Honglei with fierce eyes, and he more or less figured out the whole story.
"That's enough. Just pick up all the money. It's all yours."
Xi Honglei's generosity made Luo Xiaomin and others a little confused. Seeing how few of them dared to move, Xi Honglei raised a smile and explained: "Don't be afraid, we are from the capital. The Emperor not only
I want to know how the war is going, and I also want to understand the situation of you people who are living in such dire straits, so... I can’t say more about some things, you just need to answer my questions."
Xi Honglei didn't give them any time to think. After saying some things that made them uneasy, Xi Honglei immediately asked them a few more questions she wanted to know.
Finally, Xi Honglei stood up with satisfaction, walked to Luo Xiaomin, and whispered something in her ear that only the two of them could hear. Under Luo Xiaomin's shocked gaze, Xi Honglei patted her
Shoulder, said: "Remember not to do this kind of thing again."
After saying that, Xi Honglei left Luo Xiaomin's home with Mu Yunmeng and others.
After Xi Honglei and others left, Luo Xiaomin's legs suddenly softened and she collapsed on the ground. Who did she meet? What stupid thing did she do?
