Liu'er's hair was messy, there was an obvious red mark on her face, her five fingers were obvious, and there were blood stains on her nose and corners of her mouth.
Liu'er, who was sold as the eldest girl of the county magistrate at the age of six, must have been beaten for the first time.
"You're really worthless!" Fang Jinxiu gritted her teeth angrily and reached out to poke Liu'er's head, "Why are you crying? You're in such trouble!"
Liu'er reached out and slapped her hand.
"There are so many of them," she cried, "how can I defeat them?"
"If you can't fight, just run away." Chen Qi couldn't help but interjected.
"My young lady hasn't been found yet," Liu'er cried.
Fang Jinxiu bit her lower lip angrily.
"Stop crying." She said angrily, "What did Mr. Lin say?"
Liu'er wiped away tears.
"I didn't see Mr. Lin. They said Mr. Lin was not at home." She cried, then looked at Fang Jinxiu, "Are you lying to me and deliberately causing me to get beaten?"
The spanking she received was still too light.
Fang Jinxiu glared angrily and raised her hand towards Liu'er. Although Liu'er was in a sorry state now, she also took a defensive and offensive posture.
"You idiot." Fang Jinxiu did not hit her in the end, and waved her hand and said, "I will go to the Lin family to find someone. You go back and tell the Fang family that your lady is nowhere to be found. What can you do by yourself?"
Liu'er looked at her suspiciously.
"Do you want the Fang family to fight with others?" she muttered.
Fang Jinxiu was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore and turned around to leave. Chen Qi hurriedly caught up with him while carrying the grass circle.
"Are you really going?" he asked.
Fang Jinxiu didn't speak but walked quickly.
"You are just a child, and there are only two of us. We still can't beat you in a fight." Chen Qi added, "It's better to inform the Fang family and let them come."
Fang Jinxiu stopped and looked at him.
"You made a mistake, it's a person." She said, "It has nothing to do with you. You have sold out your candy figures, so close the stall and go home."
Chen Qi said something, watched Fang Jinxiu walking quickly again, and followed after a moment.
Fang Jinxiu stared at him.
"I'm here to guide you. Do you know where Mr. Lin's family lives?" Chen Qi said hurriedly, "Although you are not a pampered young lady who never leaves the house, but you are certainly not as familiar as I am in this city. Lin
The place where the clan lives is very big, so you can’t go there and ask random questions, right?”
Fang Jinxiu really didn't know where Mr. Lin lived, and she really planned to ask all the way there.
Chen Qi's statement was also correct. Liu'er had already made a fuss just now, and the Lin family was on guard. If he asked all the way, he might have been stopped before he even got close to the Lin family.
Fang Jinxiu looked at Chen Qi.
"Well, thank you very much," she said.
Chen Qi chuckled, shook his head and put the bamboo pole on his shoulder.
"Come with me," he said, walking in front.
Fang Jinxiu looked at his complicated expression for a moment and followed him.
"You've sold out this candy man, why are you still carrying this?" she said.
"It takes a lot of effort to make one of these." Chen Qi said, "With the effort of making one of these, I can make ten candy figures, and ten candy figures can earn ten dollars, so this grassroots circle is about money, money.
How could you throw it away?"
Fang Jinxiu twitched the corners of her mouth and said no more.
Chen Qi hugged the bamboo pole tightly.
Besides, if a fight breaks out later, this thing can also be used as a weapon for self-defense.
The Lin family's residence is easy to find. At dusk, there are no children running and playing in the Lin family's alley outside, but it is very quiet.
Chen Qi stopped, raised the grass circle on his shoulders, motioned for Fang Jinxiu to follow, and strode inwards.
"Sugar Man, Sugar Man." he shouted.
This sound broke the silence in the alley, and also made people hiding in the alley lean out.
Chen Qi is also considered a celebrity in Yangcheng, and everyone recognizes him.
Seeing that it was Chen Qi, these people frowned, but their expressions relaxed.
"What are you doing, Chen Qi?" someone said.
"The candy seller." Chen Qi said with a smile.
Everyone looked at his empty grass circle.
"What a bullshit." Someone said angrily.
"I've sold out all the candy at the beheading station." Chen Qi said, "I'm going back and stopping by to see if any of you want candy figures. I can send them over again."
Chen Qi makes any kind of money and does any kind of business, and everyone is used to it.
"Who wants this?" Everyone said impatiently, their eyes falling on Fang Jinxiu who was following Chen Qi.
This time, Fang Jinxiu was not wearing the young lady's clothes, but coarse cloth clothes, which Yuan had specially found for her.
Wealth should not be exposed. It would be too conspicuous and unsafe for a girl to dress alone.
"Of course someone is buying it." Chen Qi said, looking back at Fang Jinxiu with a bit of pride, "How much does your family want?"
"Only three." Fang Jinxiu said in a low voice, "Can you hurry up? Do you still have any at home?"
This was probably a girl from that family who came to buy candies for her younger brothers and sisters. When Chen Qi sold out, she took her to the house to get them.
The Lin family no longer looked at Fang Jinxiu.
"Stop wandering around here. I don't have any business for you. Go back quickly," they said.
Chen Qiyi responded in a loud voice, and the people went in along the alley. The Lin family lived here, and the alleys connected it. If you go in here, you can go out in other places, and the servants of the Lin family don't do it either.
Don't care, just let Chen Qi go.
After turning around an alley, Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
"This has never happened before. This is someone who is specially guarding me." He said in a low voice.
Fang Jinxiu also looked ahead. There were three or four men standing at the entrance of the alley here, talking and looking out warily.
"You are so guarded." She said, "There must be something wrong."
Liu'er said that after they were walking down the street after watching the beheading, Jun Zhenzhen saw the officials from Taiyuan Prefecture and said something was wrong, and then asked Liu'er to tell Mrs. Fang.
What exactly did she see wrong? Is it related to the Fang family? Is it related to the enemies of the Fang family? Is it related to Director Lin?
So Jun Zhenzhen went to Chief Lin to inquire, and was then deceived by Chief Lin?
You may not be able to deceive her, but Jun Zhenzhen is too courageous, and she dares to go in even though she knows it is a lie.
"Where is Mr. Lin's house?" Fang Jinxiu asked.
Chen Qi pointed at a house.
…………………………………………………….
Amidst the continuous knocking on the door, the door finally opened impatiently, and the person who opened the door also looked impatient.
This is a servant girl.
"What are you doing?" she said angrily, and then she recognized Chen Qi, "Chen Qi, why are you knocking on my door?"
Chen Qi shook the bamboo pole in his arms.
"Wang Ma, I want to buy some candy figures for the ladies and gentlemen at home." He said with a smile.
Wang Ma sighed, her expression relaxed, and she lowered her hand from the door.
"You kid, you do all kinds of business, why do you touch us..." she said.
Before he finished speaking, Fang Jinxiu, who was standing behind Chen Qi, stepped forward, reached out and opened the door, and he also stepped across the threshold.
Wang Ma was startled and screamed.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Fang Jinxiu didn't move forward, just stood inside the door and looked at her.
"Tell Master Lin Bo that I am a member of the Fang family. The Fang family is the one who mobilized officials from Shanxi and Henan to smash the gate of the county government office and capture the county magistrate. They just made people in Yangcheng watch.
The Fang family who refused to turn around during the execution." Fang Jinxiu said, "Tell him that people from the Fang family are here to ask for someone."
The servant woman looked pale and frightened.
Chen Qi looked at Fang Jinxiu with admiration on his face.
It's so bold, so neat, and so powerful.
