Chapter 116 Nine-story Building(1/2)

When Xin Yi and Fu Jiuqu returned to Ruyi's house, it was almost dawn. The landlady got up early and was startled when she saw several people coming back from outside.

"You guys, when did you go out?"

Xin Yi jumped out of the carriage with a smile, "Lady boss, find a guy to help us feed the horses and get some food. We're very hungry."

The landlady was in shock.

These guests were behaving strangely, and her heart strings tightened. When she saw a few tall men walking in, she quickly pulled Xin Yi aside and whispered secretly.

"Little lady, who are you? I want to transfer the foot shop now and save money to redeem my boss. You must not cause any trouble for me."

Xin Yi understood the boss's wife's worries and patted her hand comfortingly.

"Don't worry, even if it causes trouble, it's still a good thing."

It's okay if I don't say that, but the boss lady is even more scared when I say it.

She glanced at Wan Liyu who was dragged into the store after being injured, and whispered: "That person doesn't look like a good person, do you really know him before? Little lady, you must be on guard against others, you and your family

Brother, be careful and guard against him."

Xin Yi pondered for a moment, and seeing that the landlady was obviously tempted, he was afraid that she might do something out of nervousness and ruin their plan, so he simply spoke openly.

"To be honest, we are indeed not ordinary fishermen."

The landlady's expression changed.

Xin Yi said: "My ninth brother is... known as Jiuzhonglou in the world. I wonder if the boss lady has heard of it? In short, he is a person with more dignity than ten thousand carps. He can call the wind and rain in both black and white. He is omnipotent. You just need to obey me.

Arrange that tomorrow, my Ninth Brother will be able to rescue your boss. Moreover, you don’t have to transfer the shop anymore, and your family can make a stable living in Yongqiu..."

The landlady heard this with some doubts.

My heart is hanging in my throat and I can't let it go.

But Xin Yi had a reassuring face and a friendly and friendly smile, which made her subconsciously feel like she was not lying.

"You mean, your brother can persuade He Zhi County?"

Xin Yi thought for a while and nodded, "I can definitely convince you."

If you are not convinced, then beat him.

Xin Yi leaned close to the landlady's ear and gave her instructions like this and that.

The landlady's face went from startled to panic to happy in just an instant. Then she put on a smile, called the waiter to help them feed the horses, went to the stove to make fire, kneaded noodles, cooked food for them, and asked people to

Bring out all the fruits in the store to entertain them.

Duan Sui looked at it strangely and came over to ask: "Eleventh Mother, what did you say to the landlady? Why is she so enthusiastic?"

Xin Yi smiled: "I said Brother Ninth is very capable and can help her rescue her husband."

Duan Sui listened to these words, glanced at her, and didn't ask any more questions.

After a tired night, everyone had something to eat and went to rest each other. It was said that Fu Jiuqu had inexplicably acquired the nickname "Nine-Chonglou". He didn't even know it, but it spread throughout Yongqiu the next day.

According to Xin Yi's instructions, the proprietress found several families like her husband whose family members were imprisoned by the government, and together they went to the Yongqiu County Yamen to ask for people. She made arrangements with these people in private, and there was one named "

The Jianghu people of "Jiuchonglou" have already taken care of things for them in Hezhi County. They just need to go and they will be released.

Early in the morning, a large group of people gathered at the gate of the county government office.

~

He Xu was so frightened when he learned that Wan Liyu had escaped last night that he didn't sleep well all night.

At dawn, he received the news from Xigang.

The visitor told him that everything had been taken care of. The "cattle, horses," and spices were all put into the fire pit and burned, and then covered with earth. Even if Fu Jiuqu came to find him, he couldn't find any evidence.

His heart finally dropped halfway.

As long as we catch another ten thousand carps or kill that guy, we can live a good year comfortably.

He Xu hummed a little song while bathing and changing clothes. Just as he was about to go back to his room to catch up on some sleep, the drums outside started ringing.

The boy came to report, "Sir, a group of unscrupulous people have gathered at the gate of the county government office and are looking for us. The concierge tried to persuade them not to leave, but they even beat the drums."

He Xu didn't sleep well. He was so sleepy that he yawned and waved his hands in displeasure.

"Blast away, blast away. Tell them that whoever makes trouble again will be thrown into jail and held accountable."

The boy went out in response and soon came back.

"Sir, they said that there is a Jianghu man named Jiuchonglou who has already made arrangements with the county magistrate. All the money has been spent, so they can just come and ask for people..."

"Jiuzhonglou? I don't know what Jiuzhonglou is." He Xu raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, feeling angry and no longer drowsy. He put on his clothes and walked out.

"Wan Carp must be causing trouble. Let's go out and have a look."

~

The road at the Yongqiu County Yamenkou was already narrow, so in order to be bolder, those who came to ask for help gathered all their relatives and friends, and people who were rushing to the morning market and watching the excitement gathered around, blocking the whole street.

It's freezing cold.

He Xu rubbed his hands and opened the door, then went out and stopped at the gate of the county government office.

"Who instigated you to cause trouble? If you don't tell me, the county will arrest you all and take the blame."

Everyone was a little scared when they saw his fierce look.

The proprietress of Ruyi's family hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said: "Sir, the peasant women and the boss have opened a foot shop in Nanxi Lane. They have been making a legitimate living for many years and have often been harmed by the Bian Palace gang. However, the eldest boss has ignored me and treated me as his boss.

They arrested him, said he was a bandit, and asked us for 300 guan to redeem him... We finally collected the money and handed it over, why did the eldest master fail to keep his words?"

He Xu's face turned green.

"That's nonsense. When did you ever give money to this county? Don't taint the innocence of this county."

The landlady took out a note from her arms.

"Sir, you can't help but recognize the evidence here. It's a man named Jiuchonglou who works as a middleman for women... It's clearly written in black and white on the paper. Is it possible for your yamen to collect money?"

recognize?"

Everyone echoed.

"Yes. Yes."

"Master, you can't deny it."

Seeing that what they said was true, He Xu quickly called his master and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? You accepted money from a man named Jiuchonglou and agreed to let him go?"

This master's surname was Wu, and he was born with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. When he heard this, he was confused and said, "No. How can a kid dare to make decisions without the consent of an adult?"

Huh! He Xu looked at him suspiciously: "You'd better not dare."

The note in the landlady's hand was brought up by the waiter. He Xu shook it in his hand and turned green when he saw it. He gritted his teeth and looked at the master.

"How dare you collect money behind the county's back?"

The master was shocked. He glanced at the written receipt and said with surprise and doubt, "No, sir, check it clearly! Although this seal is Xiao Xiao's name, the words are not written by Xiao Xiao. Besides, even if Xiao Xiao takes money, how can he create a written receipt for others?

…”

This master usually eats and drinks less, and He Xu knows this.

Therefore, it does not matter whether the handwriting belongs to the master, as long as he believes that the master did it.

He Xu was furious for a moment, even if he caused trouble for him during the Chinese New Year, he also asked people to block the door and ask for help, thus losing his official reputation.

"You bitch, if word of this gets out, how do you want me to behave?"

He Xu finished speaking with a livid face and gave orders to the government officials.

"Someone is here to kidnap Master Wu from this county and put him in jail for questioning."

After that, he looked at the noisy people and said loudly: "You all go back first. This county will investigate this matter thoroughly. Whether there is guilt or not, there will be justice..."

Several government officials came to arrest people.

Master Wu saw that it was going to be bad, and he suddenly felt a surge of sadness and anger in his heart.

He knows too much about He Xu. With He Xu's personality, he will definitely sacrifice him to heaven. Wan Liyu is a lesson learned for him. Once he is in prison, He Xu will have the final say in life and death?

If you don't plead your case at this time, you will have no chance.

Master Wu struggled to escape the restraints of the two government officials, rushed directly into the crowd, and roared loudly in front of the people on the street.

"Justice? How do you know that the county is corrupt and bending the law? When have you ever asked for justice?"

He smiled coldly, "Why do you think the county wants me to take the blame for you? Bah! What a sweet dream, even if I die today, I will expose your evil deeds in public, so that everyone in the world will know what kind of scum you are.

.”

He Xu's face changed, and he pointed angrily at Master Wu who was cursing crazily.

"Get him, let this county capture him."

His original intention was to scare Mr. Wu so that he would not do anything daring next time. On the other hand, he also wanted to give an explanation to the people who were causing trouble and take them back first to show their anger.

As for how to deal with it, isn't it up to him?
To be continued...
