Li Ruxiang uttered two words from her lips and put the two notes left by Su Ying in her sleeves. She had an appointment with the Lord of Luoye City today, and the time must not be wasted.
A small sedan arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion. After the announcement, Li Ru was led to the hall by the servants of the City Lord's Mansion.
After about a stick of incense, Fang Boshan, the lord of Luoye City, walked in from outside.
Fang Boshan was born with a big belly and was more like a businessman than a city lord.
"Master Fang." Li Ru stood up and said a deep blessing.
"Mrs. Su, sit down, please sit down." Fang Boshan said: "There was something going on in the house, so I was delayed, which made Mrs. Su wait for a long time. By the way, Brother Su just passed away, so the wife should keep her mourning at home. Why is Mrs. Su here?
Come to my place?"
"Hey, if it weren't for the obstacles that I couldn't overcome, how could I, a prostitute, come to look for the Lord of the City despite people's rumors?"
"What happened?" Fang Boshan leaned forward and asked.
"Cheng Dalei has done many evil things, and now he is caught. It is also the city lord who is wise and eliminates harm for the people. But those evil people blame me and repeatedly make trouble at home. Today they threw a knife, and tomorrow they poured a bucket of blood on the door.
.”
Fang Boshan curled his lips slightly. He was not stupid. He threw a knife and splashed blood. Do you think the bandits in Toad Village are gangsters? Bandits also have dignity, okay?
"I just came here to ask when the city lord is going to kill the evil thief. Once it's over, a hundred people will stop thinking about it."
"This..." Fang Boshan was not prepared to kill Cheng Dalei. Catching Cheng Dalei was a great achievement. If he reported to the top, a living person would naturally be worth more than a dead one. Moreover, he should be kept alive in case the bandits in Toad Village went crazy.
It's also a threat.
Li Ru didn't understand Fang Boshan's psychology, so she took out a wooden box and said: "Besides, there is one more thing. Before his death, his late husband promised to give the city lord a night-light pearl. This was what his late husband ordered before his death. Today I
Specially sent to the city lord."
"Ye Mingzhu, what..."
Fang Boshan was still a little confused when he suddenly saw the wooden box opened, revealing a fist-sized orb emitting a soft and quiet light.
Fang Boshan suddenly smiled from ear to ear: "That's right, that's right. Brother Su is really a good person. He still remembers what he owes me before he dies."
"With a person like my late husband, it is natural for him to make friends with a person who values friendship and loyalty like Mr. Fang. That matter about Cheng Dalei..."
"Don't worry, I will take care of it." Fang Boxhan took care of everything.
Fang Boxhan held the Night Pearl in his hand and couldn't put it down. When he saw Li Ru still sitting there, his expression was hesitant to speak. So he asked: "Mrs. Su, is there anything else?"
"Hey, I shouldn't have told the city lord in the first place. Even a little household chore can make the city lord unhappy."
"What on earth is going on?" Fang Boxhan had begun to feel that this woman was a little annoyed.
"It's not my daughter Su Ying. Her association with bandits has already brought shame to my Su family. After her late husband died, no one can control her. Today she found me and wanted to use the family property in exchange for three thousand taels of silver to go out and squander it.
.The property was acquired bit by bit by my deceased husband, and I originally planned to pass it on to her when she was a few years older. But looking at her current temperament, I really don’t feel comfortable leaving the Su family to her."
"There is such a thing!"
"How could it be fake?" Li Ru sighed: "I was afraid that she would not admit the debt, so I asked her to write a receipt, and I would send someone to deliver the money to her later. Can a mother let her child starve?
But what I'm afraid of is that if you ask me for three thousand taels today and five thousand taels tomorrow, how can I bear not to give it to you. But the Su family can't bear her squandering it."
Fang Boshan read the receipt and suddenly became furious, slamming the table with his palm.
"It's nonsense. Children like this should be taken care of."
"After my late husband passed away, even though I dared to take care of her, I am a stepmother after all, and I can't put it lightly or harshly."
"I've made the decision for you. I can't watch her ruin Brother Su's family fortune. Leave this receipt with me. If she comes to you for money again, just ask her to come to me!"
…
Su Ying waited and waited, but when she couldn't wait for the money sent by Li Ru, she went to the Su Mansion again. No doubt, she was ridiculed again, but she didn't get a penny.
She left Su's house, and when the cool breeze blew, she felt even more sad. She wanted to raise money to rescue Cheng Dalei, but now it was all in vain.
A human figure was walking alone on the road. She couldn't help but shed tears. At this moment, someone tapped her shoulder from behind.
Su Ying was startled, turned around, and saw the little white wolf standing behind her.
"Shh, come with me."
Little White Wolf waved to Su Ying and led Su Ying to the restaurant. On the way, Su Ying told her story.
"I have been watching you secretly these past few days. When I saw you going to the Su family, I wanted to stop you. In the end, something happened. But it doesn't matter. After this period, the accounts with the Su family can be settled slowly."
Su Ying didn't know that the little white wolf had been protecting her, and she was even more shocked when she walked into the lake. She saw many people crowded in the yard, sharpening their knives and drinking.
"You have so many people here?"
"Don't be surprised, Mrs. Sister-in-law, we don't want to involve you in this matter, so we didn't show up in front of you." Qin Man.
Su Ying had been extremely sad these days. She was thinking about how to do her best to rescue Cheng Dalei, but she didn't come to the bottom of the lake to fish. She didn't know that the people from Toad Village had already arrived.
After everyone heard about Su Ying's experience, some people were so angry that they shouted and threatened to bloodbath the Su family. In the end, Liu Bei stopped them and asked Li Ru to relieve their anger, but it would also expose everyone's existence. Next
It will be even more difficult to rescue Cheng Dalei when he comes down.
"Then what can you do to save him?"
Su Ying's problem stumped everyone, and they spent countless money, but there was still no way to save Cheng Dalei. Even with the strength of Toad Village's troops, they couldn't break the prison. They wanted to wait until Cheng Dalei was escorted to take action, but there was no movement from Fang Boshan.
, I don’t know what he plans to do with Cheng Dalei. Now that one more day has passed, Cheng Dalei will be even more in danger.
"Actually, it can't be said that there is no way." Su Ying.
Everyone's eyes were on her, everyone had always regarded her as someone to be protected, and no one thought she would have any ideas.
"I haven't gone out these days. I've been thinking about how to save him at home. Some methods just won't work. I'm just thinking blindly." Su Ying said slowly: "But I think there is a method that might work."
"What can I do?" Little White Wolf asked, but he still wanted to talk to Su Ying for a while to comfort her.
"He can't leave the prison, but Fang Boshan will come out. On the 20th of every month, he will go to the dock to fish. If he can be tied up, maybe Fang Boshan can be exchanged for him."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Liu Bei couldn't wait to ask: "What day is it today?"
