Jiaohua

Chapter 561 Prepare to leave (one more)
There are still a lot of leftovers in the kitchen, which are clean and reserved for Xia Zhaoyi.

Aunt Liu filled two bowls of rice, Xia Zhaoyi had a surprisingly good appetite today, and the old man was even worse, he gorged himself on the delicious food, and soon wanted a second bowl.

Sitting next to him with his chin resting, Zhili watched the old man pick up the bowl that Aunt Liu brought again, and said, "Your food is delicious."

The old man nodded and knocked on the bowl with his chopsticks: "You want some too?"

"I heard that you owed my master money for 12 years, hiding in Tibet and not daring to see people?" Zhili said.

"Old things, don't mention them." The old man said.

"Shameless, I just want to mention it."

The old man looked at Xia Zhaoyi with a smile, and said, "Girl, is this meal delicious?"

Xia Zhaoyi swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his eyes and said, "120 eight taels, it doesn't count the interest you owed for 12 years, and it doesn't count the cheating you 12 years ago. You said you had to pay it back." how long?"

The old man's shoulders drooped, and he rolled his eyes: "It's really not my fault. I had a small amount of money to pay back. You see, the water conservancy of the Bajiang Lake sounds good for the country and the people, but in fact it was Yu Shiling and the others who wanted to do it. As for the money, the imperial court appropriated the silver taels and corrupted it layer by layer. That bastard Zhang Xianbao directly withheld the money I deserved. I ran to the capital to look for him, but I didn’t expect that Zhang Xianbao said he would die and pay back all the money he owed me. It’s not over yet. I’m going to sue the officials, but when I heard that I was looking for Zhang Xianbao, those servants almost sent me to prison. Then I ran to the Ministry of Industry, yes, the one over there People are even more ruthless and shameless, saying that they need money to operate, but took me seven or eight taels, and turned my face and refused to recognize anyone! I was so angry at that time, when they dragged me to the small black room, I couldn't breathe gone."

"Back when Zhang Xianbao invited you to Bajianghu, how much silver did he say he would give you?"

The old man made gestures and said with an air, "45 taels!"

Xia Zhaoyi nodded, looked at Zhili: "Bring me the deed of sale from my study."

"What? What is a contract of sale?"

"Okay!" Responded frantically, ran to the study, and came back quickly with a pen and paper.

The old man took a look, his eyes almost stared straight.

"You, this is..."

"The 12 taels owed for 120 years, and you only have to sell yourself for two years, isn't it a good deal?" Zhi Li said.

"No, no, what do you want my old body to do?"

"Stop rambling, sign it for me." Zhi Li forced the pen into the old man's hand.

"I won't sign!" The old man slapped the paper and pen on the table, with a face of resistance, "I'm not going to live long, whether I can live for two years is a question. Do you want me to be your cow? I'm going to die here On the well!"

"Old Tong!" Zhili immediately raised his head and shouted, "Before the soldiers and horses at Matou Station leave, quickly send this old man and let him feed the horses, bring water and cook!"

"Don't, don't!" The old man hurriedly got up and covered his mouth.

Zhili was shocked when he realized that his hands were dirty, he was furious and punched him.

The old man fell back to his seat, covered his eyes and screamed for pain.

Zhili kept yelling at the side, shouting disgustingly.

Old Tong heard the sound and asked what happened.

Xia Zhaoyi said: "Brother Tong, please accompany this old man to the mountain later. He wants to visit his grave, so remember to watch him and don't let him escape. I'm going to the city in the afternoon, and I'll be back late, you guys Pack your things after you go down the mountain, we will leave the day after tomorrow."

"Okay!" Old Tong looked at the old man, raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the neck, grabbed his collar, and gritted his teeth, "Dare to escape?"

The old man squinted his eyes and raised his head, and saw a bear-like big man staring at him with a fierce expression. At the same time, he closed his left hand, crunching his finger bones, forming a fist the size of a sandbag.

"..."

The old man cried.

Pan Shuyi sat quietly in the lobby under Qingque Pavilion, with drinks and several stacks of side dishes in front of her.

She ate very slowly, thinking about what to do next while eating.

Qingque Pavilion has already accepted her order, but she doesn't know where to go. Maybe it's best to rent a house here, but it's better to save money by staying with Xia Zhaoyi and the others.

However, she still owed money, so she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

There was some movement around him, someone was praising the person at the door for his good looks.

Pan Shuyi subconsciously looked up towards the door, and saw Xia Zhaoyi and Zhili at a glance.

They've just come in from the outside, and they're going to find the guy at the counter.

Pan Shuyi was overjoyed and got up to look for them, but suddenly realized that there were too many drinks and dishes in front of her, and she even specially ordered pork ribs with sauce and veal...

She suddenly felt something was wrong, after all, she still owed money to the man, so she sat back with a blushing face, and lowered her face, hoping that the other party didn't see her.

The buddy is new here, but when he heard that Zhili reported his family name, he suddenly became enthusiastic: "It turns out that it is the young master Zhili, please come here, please come here."

Xia Zhaoyi and Zhili followed the waiter to the inner hall.

Zhili suddenly tugged on Xia Zhaoyi's shirt, and said in a low voice, "Little sister, Pan Shuyi is over there."

Xia Zhaoyi glanced at it, then retracted his gaze and said, "Ignore it."

"How can she pretend that she doesn't know us? It's too fast."

"She has difficulties, don't blame her." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Lu Ningjin was checking the liquor in the backyard, and when he heard that Xia Zhaoyi had come, Lu Ningjin happily handed over the brochure to others, and ran from the inclined courtyard: "Ali!"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "I'll come and see you, and I'll find Mr. Yan Hui again, we may leave in two days."

Lu Ningjin's smile suddenly froze: "Are you leaving?"

"Well," Zhili nodded, "My senior sister has waited for someone to come."

Lu Ningjin's eyes were red, and she said sadly: "In today's world, it will definitely be a long time before we meet next time."

"You are in Qingque Pavilion, what are you afraid of?" Zhili looked around the courtyard and said, "As expected of Qingque Pavilion, it is really elegant and quiet, and the place to cook is so comfortable."

"It's better to be in the capital, and there are waterside pavilions in the capital." Lu Ningjin said with a curled lip.

A figure was hiding in the Moon Cave Gate of the Inclined Courtyard, looking quietly at Xia Zhaoyi and Lu Ningjin with his head poked out.

Xia Zhaoyi felt something, and raised his eyes to look over there, the figure immediately left and hid behind the tree.

Lu Ningjin turned around belatedly, looked over there, paused, and said in a low voice, "Maybe it's Xiaotao."

Zhili listened from the sidelines, frowning.

He has never seen this Xiaotao, but he knows who this Xiaotao is.

When the little senior sister was arrested by Yan Yunwei in the capital, those people used this little peach to replace the little senior sister.

I heard that she was made dumb and had her ears stabbed deaf. She has been entrusted by the little senior sister to take care of Qingque Pavilion all these years, and it was entrusted with a large sum of money...

To put it bluntly, it's just a list.

"How is she recently?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
