Chapter 140 The thrilling knock on the door at midnight
Xia Qiyue turned around and closed the door, then pointed to the kitchen and spoke.
"Little girls! Don't think that because you please us, we will be polite to you. Today, I'm here to steal the secret recipe, that secret recipe for candy! If you know the truth, bring it out to me! Otherwise! Don't blame us for being rude!"
The boss breaks the jar and smashes it, it's a bad idea.
Xia Xinghe walked toward his eldest sister step by step while holding a wooden stick, protecting her behind him, "What do you want to do?"
"Here comes another person who doesn't understand people. Boss, stop talking nonsense to them and start doing it! Knock these two brats down and go into the room to search for the secret recipe! It will be dawn if you don't do it."
Lao Qi reminded the boss fiercely.
Xia Qiyue was not afraid at all: "Guys, are you sent by Wang Ji to steal the secret recipe of halva?"
"how do you know…"
"Snapped!"
The fifth child just asked how you knew, but was slapped by the second child behind him, "Idiot! Shut up!"
The boss had a cold face, and Hupu tried to stretch out his arm to grab him, and threw the fifth child behind him.
"Wang Ji hired us to steal one hundred taels of silver! Do you have one hundred taels? If not, hand over the secret recipe of halva, otherwise your life will be sealed here!"
Xia Qiyue shook his head, "You have been tricked by Wang Ji. There is no secret recipe for crispy candy. They just want to fool you and steal it. Then they will sue the government and ask you to take the case against us the day before yesterday! You will be in jail by then."
!”
The boss's eyes widened in disbelief, "Girls, don't talk nonsense, Wang Ji said he would give you one hundred taels of silver!"
Xia Qiyue shook his head, "You have all been fooled. Have you got the money?"
The second child retorted, "If you haven't stolen the secret recipe, how can you get any money! You stinky bitches! Take it out quickly!"
"How about this? I'll give you a hundred taels, and you can smash Wang Ji, okay?"
Xia Qiyue saw that these people were not very smart, so she thought of tricking people into taking revenge.
"That won't work! How can you smash up someone else's shop in broad daylight?" Lao Qi has the highest IQ here and knows that he will be caught if he smashes up a shop in broad daylight.
"You can think of an excuse!" Xia Qiyue said, "For example, the candied fruits in their shop are poisonous or something like that!"
"No, Lao Ba and the others just found an excuse to smash Li Ji, but they were still caught. They might have been beaten to death!"
Lao Wu's mouth was not covered, and he still grunted.
Xia Qiyue sneered, so it turned out that it was all the fault of these idiots?
"I'll give you two hundred taels. You can beat up Wang Ji's shopkeeper and avenge your brother! How about it?"
The boss didn't wait for the seventh child to speak and agreed immediately, fearing that the seventh child would refuse again.
"Okay! It's settled! Let's go and beat up that bastard now!"
"Boss..." Lao Qi called.
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go! Smash Wang Ji and beat that bastard to death! Lao Ba and the others haven't gotten the money yet. They agreed on three hundred taels, but they haven't given a single copper! We just happened to come together!"
After saying that, he clasped his fists to Xia Qiyue, "Thank you for reminding me, girl! We'll come to you for money after we take care of that bastard Wang Ji!"
Xia Qiyue nodded, "Okay!"
When the four of them left, they locked the courtyard door tightly, and the one who left asked the other to leave.
After everyone left, Xia Xinghe asked his eldest sister blankly, "You just left like this?"
Xia Qiyue smiled, "They will come back!"
Xia Xinghe hurriedly went to reinforce the courtyard door with wooden stakes, but was stopped by Xia Qiyue.
"They should come here in the morning and ask for money!"
Xia Xinghe was a little doubtful, "Sister, can they, like them, smash Wang Ji and beat up the shopkeeper? Come here during the day? Are you not allowed to be sent to the Yamen during the day?"
"Who knows! Go to sleep! It's okay!"
Xia Jiuyue stood at the door of her room and came out when her eldest sister said it was okay.
"Sister, you scared me to death. Why didn't you let me out just now? If they start beating someone..."
Xia Qiyue was thinking about it just now, but Xia Qiyue secretly stopped her, "If they take action, do you want them to beat one more person?"
Xia Jiuyue's face turned red when her eldest sister said that she was really useless...
"Okay! Go to bed!" Xia Qiyue yawned and returned to the room.
The three children were sleeping soundly. After taking a look at the space that was still being upgraded, she lay down and fell asleep again.
A few fools from Tiger Village rushed to Wangji in a rage, smashed up the shop, and beat the shopkeeper half to death who came over to check.
The Wang family all lived in the backyard of the shop. The shopkeeper was the father of the concubine of the Minister of Household Affairs. After he was beaten, his sons and grandsons ran out.
The four people from Tiger Village smashed and beat them. When they saw many people running out, they ran away quickly. They couldn't be caught and had to run.
While running, he shouted, "Get Lao Ba and the others out quickly, otherwise we will come here every day and destroy the shop!"
"Lao Qi, why are you shouting like that? Doesn't this expose our identities?"
This old man is so arrogant. He is usually the smartest kid. What happened to him? He actually betrayed his identity like this.
"Boss, if I shout like this, won't they dare not report it to the official? Otherwise, the trouble of smashing Li Ji and beating others will fall on them!"
The boss understood instantly, "Yes! You are still smart! I will give you an extra tael of silver later!"
Two hundred taels, he made a profit this night. Now his wife can take care of herself and hopes to give birth to a big fat boy for him.
The four of them ran all the way, but when they saw that no one was chasing after them, they even gave Lao Qi a thumbs up, "Old Qi is still smart. If we shout like this, they Wang Ji won't even dare to chase after us."
"That's right, Lao Qi is a person who has read books, how can he not be smart?"
"Lao Qi, will Wang Ji hold a grudge and kill Lao Ba and the others?" Lao Wu was once again clever, but was slapped on the head again.
"Don't be so arrogant, do you understand? Let's go! Go get the money quickly!"
Lao Wu touched his head after being patted all night. Is it a problem with his mouth?
Xia Qiyue was sleeping soundly, and the space was being upgraded. There was no alarm in the early morning, but she was woken up again by the movement at the entrance of the courtyard.
This time, several people knocked on the door, but the banging and banging on the door at night startled people quite a bit.
Before Xia Qiyue came out, there was movement in their neighborhood. After a crackling sound, someone ran out, followed by a woman.
"Master, go to the backyard. There is a corner door in the backyard where you can go out!" The graceful woman following behind called softly to the man who was running away in a panic.
It turned out that the courtyard in the west courtyard of Xia Qiyue, which was about the same size as theirs, usually had no movement, but it was the place where the rich men in the town kept their wives.
Waishi doesn't go out much during the day and lives alone, so she usually doesn't make any movements. Her movements are only at night. After the master comes, she does her best to serve him.
This made the master even more inseparable from her, and the gold, silver and jewelry were moved here like water. They knocked on the door late at night and thought it was the eldest lady who was here, which was a thrill.
