The two strong men obviously did not pay attention to the old woman Zhao Xing. From the looks of her clothes, she did not look like a rich person. At most, she lived a more prosperous life.
"Whether she takes the money or not, of course, our boss has the final say. If you, an old woman, are not satisfied, just go to our boss to reason with her. If you block her way, don't blame us for being rude." The strong man said, and lifted up his hand.
Sleeves, as if he wanted to hit someone.
"I'm really not afraid of a fight. It just depends on who takes his life." Zhao Xun took out the woodcutter that was attached to her waist. She bought it specially when she was in the county town and put it in the space, so that she can use it to build momentum in times like this.
, and it won’t appear obtrusive.
In fact, Zhao Xing prefers to use the sabers given to her by friends, or the weapons her father collected when he was still alive.
His thoughts drifted back to modern times for a moment, and when Zhao Xing raised his eyes, there was murderous intent in his eyes.
If she can live well, Zhao Xing will not seek death, but she is not afraid when someone threatens her. There is not much she can care about in this time and space. The family and friendship she currently has are still very weak, and they are not enough to let go.
"How dare you!" The strong man was a little frightened. They are not working hard to collect cash and do things.
"When a person cannot survive, there is nothing he cannot do. Since your boss said that my daughter stole the guests' money, there must be evidence, so go to the government to speak. Unfortunately, I just came from the county seat.
When I come back, if I really want to go to the government, I don't know who has the connections."
"But if your boss has no evidence, you two are abducting and selling young girls from good families. According to the laws of our court, you will be sentenced to death, right?" Zhao Xing asked calmly.
The strong man hesitated. What they fear most in their business is dealing with the government. No one is clean.
Zhao Xing didn't intend to quarrel with the two of them, and she didn't really mean to fight. She turned sideways and put a piece of silver into the other person's hand, and whispered: "I don't want to make the matter bigger, but I'm not afraid of making a fuss. At most,
My daughter's reputation has been ruined, so I will find a son-in-law for her.
You have captured my daughter and you know where my family is. You can go to the Shen family in the county to inquire about the relationship between me, Zhao Xin, and the Shen family."
The strong man hurriedly put away the money, but when he saw that Zhao Xin didn't seem to be cheating, he lost his mind for a moment.
Zhao Lingxiu, who had just held a knife for Zhao Xun to fight for her, was moved with tears in her eyes. When she saw my mother stuffing money into her, she immediately shouted: "Mom, what are you doing? I was wronged, you..."
"Shut up! I'll deal with you when I get back!"
Zhao Xing shouted sharply, but what he said after that was meant for the two strong men, "How about I don't believe that you will save you? After all, we are a girl's family. If we can keep our reputation, there is no need to make an ugly scene, otherwise I will kill you now."
Go to the government and beat drums to complain, and even if you are guilty, I will be able to get out without any trouble!"
Zhao Lingxiu was so frightened that she shrank her neck and did not dare to say anything. After a few words of discussion, the strong man let go of Zhao Lingxiu and said to Zhao Xing: "We can't make the decision in this matter. We will go back and ask the boss. If the boss refuses to do this,
Give up, we will come to your door again to kidnap people."
"Then let's all rely on our abilities." Zhao Xin said without fear.
The woodcutter had its use. After cutting the rope for Zhao Lingxiu, looking at the bruises on her wrists and the whip wounds, Zhao Xing immediately asked: "What's going on? Did they beat you?"
Zhao Lingxiu's eyes were red and she didn't speak. She was twitching with a mixture of grievance and shame.
Mrs. Shen said hurriedly: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go home first and then talk."
Zhao Xin had no choice but to nod. In order to prevent himself from suffering, he simply hired a carriage and bought some food on the way back.
The coarse grains in the town were cheaper than those in the county, but the fine grains were expensive and of poor quality, so Zhao Xin didn't buy too much. Instead, he bought some snacks and candies. He had to spread some out if his family wanted to build a house. This was an old rule.
Originally, she wanted to tell Zhao Xun about Lin Qiao, but now because of Zhao Lingxiu, Shen couldn't follow her, so she got off the car at the end of the village and went home.
Zhao Xin went out and came back by carriage. Naturally, some people were curious about whether she had distinguished guests or how many things she had bought, but most of them were just looking around. The new house that could be built with one hundred and eighty taels of silver was Zhao Xin's. ability.
Even Dr. Shen Ji and Dr. Xu in the town recognized Zhao Xin's high medical skills, but they were not jealous. Even if someone was angry, they would not dare to say anything, for fear of offending Zhao Xin and they would not be able to sell herbal medicine in her place.
After unloading the things, Zhao Xing closed the door, sent the three little ones to eat in the next room, and called Zhao Lingxiu into the room for questioning.
"Tell me, aren't you in the embroidery workshop? How did you get into this matter?" Zhao Xing asked.
"The steward of the embroidery workshop said that Li Yunjuan always went to find me. If anyone found out, it would damage the reputation of other embroiderers and the reputation of the embroidery workshop, so he kicked me out." Zhao Lingxiu cried aggrievedly.
Zhao Xing did not comfort Zhao Lingxiu. He waited until she had cried enough before asking: "What next?"
If the embroidery workshop kicks people out, it won't be unfair to Zhao Lingxiucai.
"I have no place to go, and I don't have the shame to go home." Zhao Lingxiu glanced at Zhao Xin twitchingly, not saying that she was afraid that Zhao Xin would scold her, and continued: "I want to find some work, but the people in the town There wasn’t much work to do, and I didn’t know how to do anything other than embroidery, so I rented a room for others to wash and mend.”
"The last time a customer wanted to default on his bill, I argued with him, but was pushed down. Li Yunjuan happened to be passing by, and he didn't know what he said, so he gave me the money for laundry. Li Yunjuan knew that I was in a difficult situation, so he gave me the money. I introduced him to the cleaning staff, who cleaned the courtyard once in the morning and evening, and was paid thirty cents..."
Seeing that Zhao Lingxiu stopped talking, Zhao Xing asked: "You have only been working for one day and you are unjustly accused of stealing the guest's money? Do you know who lives in that small courtyard?"
Zhao Lingxiu's pretty face flushed, wishing she could lower her head into the kang hole, and whispered: "I didn't know when I went there in the morning, but I went a little earlier in the evening and heard some strange noises. I thought it was... Someone bullied Li Yunjuan, so he wanted to go in and save him, only then did he know...only then did he know..."
Zhao Xin laughed and continued: "I just realized that Li Yunjuan was doing that shameless business, and he asked you to serve their unclean place. You broke up with Li Yunjuan, and then there was something going on. thing?"
"Yeah." Zhao Lingxiu nodded lightly and whispered: "They tied me up, whipped me, and forced me to confess to stealing the money. When I refused to admit it, they warned me that I'd better be more sensible. Otherwise, if my face is ruined, I will have no choice but to be the lowest-grade dark sister! Wow, if I hadn’t met my mother, I would have been sent to pick up guests!"
Zhao Lingxiu threw herself into Zhao Xing's arms and cried bitterly. She was still scared. She couldn't imagine how she could survive after being forced to that point.
On the other hand, Zhao Xun pushed Zhao Lingxiu away, poked her forehead and cursed: "Why don't you have a brain? This is the hole Li Yunjuan dug for you. She just wants you to be as despicable as her." Man, haven’t you understood yet?”
