As soon as Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu returned to Wang Ji Inn, shopkeeper Wang greeted them.
"Yo! Hang Si makes you come back..."
Without saying much, they both knew that shopkeeper Wang wanted to inquire about Ruoliu.
"Get out of the way!"
Hang Baiqiu went straight upstairs without giving Shopkeeper Wang a chance to ask questions.
When Hang Baiqiu first saw Xu Youde making things difficult for Shopkeeper Wang, he thought he was worthy of sympathy, but after witnessing his attitude towards Ruoliu, Hang Baiqiu's eyes turned to disgust.
When they went up to the second floor, they met Sun Xingba walking towards them.
Before Sun Xingba had time to speak, Hang Baiqiu had already asked with a straight face: "Which room does Xu Quede live in?"
When Sun Xingba saw her unkind expression, he immediately did not dare to ask any more questions. He quickly pointed to the end of the corridor behind him: "The penultimate room is..."
Hang Baiqiu immediately strode forward with an angry look on his brows.
Sun Xingba was so frightened that he quickly shrank and stood close to the wall, fearing that he would block Hang Baiqiu's way and get into trouble.
After Hang Baiqiu passed by, Sun Xingba hurriedly looked at Chai Yan and asked with his mouth: "What's wrong?"
Chai Yan didn't answer, just shrugged slightly and followed Hang Baiqiu's footsteps.
Sun Xingba was a person who loved to watch the excitement, so he followed on tiptoe.
Arriving at the door of Xu Youde's room, Hang Baiqiu stopped, turned to look at Sun Xingba, pointed at the door and said, "Is this this room?"
Sun Xingba quickly nodded vigorously.
"Bang!"
Hang Baiqiu kicked open the door of Xu Youde's room.
Xu Youde was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and concentrating. Suddenly, he was startled by the sound of the door being kicked, and he immediately showed a shocked expression.
When Xu Youde saw clearly that the person who broke in was Hang Baiqiu, a look of horror immediately appeared on Xu Youde's face...
"Hang...Hang Secretary...you, you, you...what are you going to do?"
Hang Baiqiu didn't speak at all, and walked towards Xu Youde aggressively as soon as he entered the room.
"Secretary Hang, there you have it... If you have something to say, please tell me..."
Xu Youde wanted to retreat, but the bed was so big. Even if he retreated, where could he retreat to?
In the blink of an eye, Hang Baiqiu had arrived at Xu Youde's bedside. She reached out and grabbed Xu Youde's clothes by the collar and said angrily: "Bring me the money!"
It was estimated that the force was too much, and the tug affected the wound on Xu Youde's ribs, causing him to grin in pain.
The pain disappeared slightly, and Xu Youde said: "Silver? What...what silver?"
"Are you still pretending to be stupid with me?" Hang Baiqiu was so angry that he pushed Xu Youde back on the bed, and there was another cry of pain in an instant.
Hang Baiqiu glared at Xu Youde and said sternly: "I'll say it again, bring me the money!"
Xu Youde, who had no ability to resist, cowered in bed timidly and said with a sad face: "Sir Hang, I, I, I... I have no money..."
"What?" Hang Baiqiu was shocked and thought he heard wrongly.
After being stunned, Hang Baiqiu immediately said: "You have no money, do you think I am a three-year-old child?"
Xu Youde quickly shook his head, pointed his trembling fingers at his injured place and said: "Sir Hang, I, I, I... I really have no money. I have spent almost all my money on treating my injuries...
..."
With that said, Xu Youde took out a money bag from under the pillow, stretched out his hand and handed it over: "Look if you don't believe it, I...I only have so much left..."
Hang Baiqiu grabbed the money bag and was shocked when he opened it. The money bag was filled with copper plates, not even a piece of silver.
Xu Youde took the opportunity to complain quickly: "Sir Hang, you don't know something. Yesterday, the woman acted violently and crushed the injured area again. The pain was so painful that I was dying... I had no choice, I could only
Seeing a doctor for re-treatment, plus buying medicine and food, I almost spent all the money I brought with me from the capital..."
Hang Baiqiu glared at Xu Youde, and the hand holding the money bag was trembling slightly!
Xu Youde said again: "Secretary Hang, is this okay? Wait until I return to Beijing. After I return to Beijing, I will..."
"Shameless!"
Before Xu Youde could finish what he said, Hang Baiqiu cursed and angrily threw the money bag at Xu Youde's head.
"Ouch!"
Xu Youde screamed in pain from being hit and immediately covered his forehead with his hands.
When Xu Youde released his hand, the place where he was hit on his forehead was already red and swollen.
Hang Baiqiu pointed at Xu Youde and shouted: "Stop pretending to be poor with me! Can you get out ten taels of silver? Tell you, I don't care what method you use, you must hand over the silver today!"
"Sir Hang, I really have no money. Even if you beat me to death, I won't be able to get it out..." Xu Youde said with a bitter face.
"Well, Xu Quede, you are acting like a rogue, aren't you?"
Hang Baiqiu knew that Xu Youde was playing rogue, but there was nothing he could do against him.
"No, no, how dare I..."
He said this openly, but Xu Youde was hating in his heart: I just acted like a rogue, what can you do to me? Kill me if you dare, you nosy bitch!
Just like that, the situation suddenly reached a stalemate. Xu Youde was cheating and refused to pay, and Hang Baiqiu couldn't do anything to him. The conversation between the two was full of repetitive content.
With nothing to do with Xu Youde, Hang Baiqiu turned to look behind her. She wanted to seek help from Chai Yan and asked Xu Youde to hand over the money obediently!
At this time, the door of the room was already crowded with people. Fortunately, Sun Xingba maintained order and prevented the scene from becoming chaotic.
When Chai Yan saw Hang Baiqiu looking over, he walked over.
Seeing Chai Yan come in, Xu Youde felt hatred in his heart: Brat, you wait for me, it would be unkind to not avenge this!
Hang Baiqiu turned around and went over to meet him. The two of them stopped ten feet away from the bed, with their backs to Xu Youde.
Hang Baiqiu asked in a low voice: "What should I do?"
Chai Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and replied in a low voice: "This is not easy! If you look for it on him or in his baggage, I won't believe that he doesn't have anything valuable around him!"
Hang Baiqiu immediately clapped his hands: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that..."
After all, Xu Youde is also the sexton of Wude Department, so it is impossible not to have valuable items with him.
Xu Youde panicked when he saw Hang Baiqiu's happy look. He didn't know what kind of idea Chai Yan had for Hang Baiqiu.
Immediately afterwards, Hang Baiqiu walked back to Xu Youde's bed, and the next moment, her eyes began to scan Xu Youde's body.
Soon, Hang Baiqiu's eyes stopped on Xu Youde's neck.
"Since you don't have any money, use this to pay for it!"
As he spoke, Hang Baiqiu was ready to pull the pendant around Xu Youde's neck.
"No, no!"
Xu Youde wanted to stop him, but he was a wounded man now. How could he defeat Hang Baiqiu?
After a few moments, the object around Xu Youde's neck was violently ripped off by Hang Baiqiu...
"Give it back to me, give it back to me quickly!" Xu Youde shouted while trying to snatch it away.
Hang Baiqiu couldn't give him a chance. She quickly avoided it and retreated to Chai Yan. When she lifted it up, she saw that it was a round white jade pendant.
