Lin Jingmo looked around and saw the scenery. It turned out that they were bandits!
She took out three silver ingots from her purse and placed them in the man's hand.
The man took the silver, shook it with his hands, and winked at the black man with the scar on his face.
Then the two started laughing.
The black man resisted the big sword and said: "That's right. Paying back debts is a matter of course. You chose our Tulong Village, and I, Chen Tulong, will never let you down! Since you have paid back the money, it is our Tulong Village."
The most distinguished guest of Longzhai! Please take a seat!"
Lin Jingmo looked in disbelief: Guest...person? Wasn't I kidnapped by you to extort property for no reason? What did I buy and I became your guest?
Think about it carefully: I spent thirty taels, could it be that I bought...my life?! Thirty taels to buy a safe life is still a good deal.
Lin Jingmo was invited to take a seat, and the person who collected the money shouted outside: "Bring it here and ask the employer to inspect the goods in person!"
Lin Jingmo looked at the door curiously: Employer? Who is it?
I saw four people coming in from outside, carrying a wooden cage. Inside the wooden cage was a woman with her feet tied, blindfolded and her mouth covered. They put the wooden cage down and pulled out a knife from her waist.
After being shocked, Lin Jingmo was frightened by the way they drew their swords. It must be that the woman didn't pay, right? He hesitated whether to pay for her together, and turned to look at Chen Tulong in fear, not knowing what he was doing.
What terrible things are you going to do to that woman?
Chen Tulong boldly stretched his legs and stepped into the low table, sat on the small couch with tiger skins where Lin Jingmo had just been, stretched out his hand and said: "Bring some wine and meat, the guest officer and I will eat and watch!"
Lin Jingmo's face was full of reluctance: What else do we need to eat!
But she smiled awkwardly on her face. She watched someone put a jar of wine in front of her and brought a whole uncut elbow. She frowned and then glanced at the rough man sitting on the tiger skin couch with his body tilted.
Chen Tulong, who was eating meat, had a complicated heart: He had to eat all the meat before leaving, right? Give me a pair of bowls and chopsticks, how can I eat this?
Seeing that she had a troubled look on her face, the previous cashier walked up to her table and said, "Mrs. Shang, we agreed on thirty taels before, but I'm afraid you'll have to add a little more if you include one meal." After saying that, he raised his index finger with his thumb.
Rub it together to indicate giving money.
Lin Jingmo lowered his head and looked at the meat and wine: Eat? I didn't say I wanted to eat! That's all. As long as he can let me go, give it to him.
She raised her head and asked in a good-natured manner: "How much do you want?"
"You are a good boy, the price is fair, ten taels!" After saying that, the man stretched out his hand and made a sign of the cross.
Lin Jingmo smiled, took out another ingot of silver from his pocket and placed it in the man's outstretched palm.
Chen Tulong, who was lying on the main seat, saw Lin Jingmo paying the money, so he sat up and said, "Cut off that woman's ear."
Hearing this, Lin Jingmo subconsciously stretched out his hands to cover his ears, but saw someone pulling the woman out of the wooden cage, holding a knife to the base of her ears and trying to cut off her ears.
"Wait a minute!" Lin Jingmo quickly stood up and took off the money bag from his waist and said, "I have some silver, and I even bought her life! Don't cut off her ears!"
Chen Tulong looked at Lin Jingmo in confusion, and suddenly his expression dropped: "What did you say?"
Lin Jingmo timidly placed the purse containing silver taels on his table, and took a few steps back: "Didn't you say that thirty taels can only be put in one person? I have more than thirty taels in it, even her.
Are you done?"
Chen Tulong stood up and looked at Lin Jingmo angrily: "Didn't you spend thirty taels of silver to buy her ears? What kind of singing is this? Are you making fun of the leader of the village!" After that, he turned the table.
The offal on the wine jar.
Lin Jingmo couldn't believe her ears. Looking at the broken wine jar on the ground, she slowly raised her head and exclaimed in disbelief: "What? Did I pay you to catch her and cut off her ears?"
Chen Tulong was shocked by her voice. He rubbed his ears and said, "What are you doing so loudly? Three months ago, you paid a deposit and asked us to arrest a dancer named Han Zilan. You said you would cut off a pair of her ears."
Give us fifty taels. Unexpectedly, we caught Han Zilan, but in a few months we didn’t see you paying the balance, and we fed her in vain. Isn’t this why we have no choice but to invite you to pay, and take the opportunity to watch the execution in person?”
Hearing this, Lin Jingmo approached the woman and untied the blindfold on her head. Her beautiful eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, glaring at Lin Jingmo fiercely. If her hands and feet were not tied, she would probably
Swallowed Lin Jingmo alive.
Lin Jingmo took two steps back in fear. She didn't know the woman in front of her. Three months ago... it was before she lost her memory. She really lived up to her reputation for being vicious!
She asked again: "Do you know why I wanted to arrest her and cut off her ears?"
The person who collected money from her before said: "I heard that Shang Shilang is her regular customer. He often plays the piano while she dances beside him. You have never heard the music of his piano, but this bitch can enjoy it all to herself. Can you?"
Aren’t you angry? We think it’s a minor offense for you to chop off her ears!”
"She is... Shang Shixu's lover?" Lin Jingmo looked back at the girl in surprise, recalling what Shang Shixu had said to her again. She never imagined that she could be so cruel. Not only did she collude with gangsters to kidnap weak women, but they also asked them to
Cut off both of her ears while she was still alive?
Suddenly she thought of something again and asked: "No, you didn't even know me just now, how could I ask you to tie her up?"
Chen Tulong said: "Madam, you have a noble status. Why do you need to personally come forward for this kind of thing? Your personal maid ordered us."
Lin Jingmo thought for a moment and said, "Is it Qiaoxiang?"
Chen Tulong shook his head, thought for a moment and replied: "It seems to be called... double tone!"
"Double tone?" Lin Jingmo recalled carefully: Isn't she the maid who was driven out of the house by me and assigned to the butcher?
Thinking about it, it was indeed true. I heard that Shuangyin had grown up with her since she was a child. How could she dare to do such a thing if she hadn't listened to her instructions?
Lin Jingmo couldn't help but sigh: "In that case, please let me go and give you all the money."
Chen Tulong refused: "Although we are bandits, we agreed to do things for you after receiving your money. We don't want the extra silver. Today, these ears must be cut off and given to you."
After saying that, Chen Tulong threw Lin Jingmo's money bag in her direction. The money bag fell to the ground, and a few pieces of silver rolled out from it.
Seeing that they were about to cut off Han Zilan's ears with a knife, Lin Jingmo hurriedly stopped them, pushed a few people away and said: "Since you have accepted my silver, you must listen to me. You don't want the extra silver, but you really do."
She took my forty taels of silver! I didn’t say it myself, I wanted her ears. I actually handed the silver taels to you with my own hands! I heard that thieves have their own ways, and even bandits should have bandit rules! I said,
I don’t want her ears today! These forty taels of silver are enough for you to lock her up for three months! If you don’t listen to me and insist on cutting off her ears, then from now on I will fight with you Tulong Village
Well, your Tulong Village’s reputation will definitely get worse and worse!”
Several people laughed: "We are bandits, why are we afraid of a bad reputation?"
Lin Jingmo said: "Yes, in the eyes of ordinary people, your reputation is already bad enough, but if the friends you know know that you have received money but do not do things according to your employer's wishes, and they look down on you, what will you do?
What are your plans?"
Chen Tulong approached her and said: "It's very simple, I just want to kill you too!"
