Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 111 Fraud and Extortion
After Li Zhi left, Ganjingzhuang returned to its former peace.

The village households were really uncomfortable these days. Li Zhiwei’s tours in Weifu had been minimized as much as possible, but there were still hundreds of people in the smallest scenes. These people were usually scattered in the Zhuangzi.

The farmers met strangers when they went out, and they looked back and forth with scrutinizing eyes. Living under such eyes every day, the psychological pressure of the farmers was inexplicably increased.

Li Zhi, who thought he was kind and friendly and would not disturb the people, didn't realize that in the past few days he had actually caused a lot of trouble to the farmers.

Before leaving, he also looted all the dried meat from the farmers for the New Year, tsk!
The sky was clear, and Li Qinzai squatted on the edge of the field, chatting with the old farmer.

"So that's the Son of Heaven, ah, that's amazing! No wonder it's such a big show, and it's generous to buy my jerky, haha." The old farmer looked satisfied, obviously his family made a lot of money selling jerky this year.

"But your family has no meat to eat during the Chinese New Year, what should we do?" Li Qinzai laughed.

The old farmer shook his head: "I'm rich! Why don't you eat meat if you have money? I gave you [-] Wen, which is enough for the E's family to feed for half a year. Later, I will buy three feet of cloth for my mother-in-law and a few city buns for my baby." , buy another two catties of Hunjiu, it’s better than eating meat, it’s so beautiful!”

After speaking, the old farmer grinned, showing his big yellow teeth.

Li Qinzai also laughed, now that prices in the Tang Dynasty are very low, the old farmers probably still have a lot left after buying this pile, and with the autumn harvest, the family will at least have enough food and clothing for this year, and they can fill their stomachs and look forward to it next year.

It's great, the family is full, and the time and years are abundant.

The old farmer was in a good mood and was happy to talk. He groped from his arms, took out a piece of dried fruit and handed it to Li Qinzai. The dried fruit looked black.

The old farmer also seemed to feel embarrassed, so he took the dried fruit and wiped it on his clothes, and then handed it to Li Qinzai, grinning innocently, a little coy.

"Shaolang Junmo doesn't like it, yesterday the baby wanted to eat, but I stopped a piece, it's not dirty..."

Li Qinzai smiled, not disgusted at all, took the dried fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, nodded while eating: "It's a bit chewy, but it's not well preserved. Next time you dry the dried fruit, find a dry and ventilated place. You are a little It's wet."

Seeing that Li Qinzai didn't dislike him, and he commented seriously, the old farmer became more and more happy, and couldn't help saying: "Mr. Shaolang is good, and the masters of our Zhuangzi are all good. Others say how about the fifth grandson of the old man, bah! Outside! People are talking nonsense, how can you look like a bastard with Mr. Shaolang's demeanor?"

Li Qinzai grinned: "I used to be an asshole, I can't hide this from anyone, and I don't intend to hide it from anyone."

"When everyone was young and frivolous, the old man was also a bastard when he was young, almost like a widow in the village..."

Li Qinzai became interested: "What is it with the widow? Tell me."

"The past, haha, don't mention it. If my mother-in-law knows, I won't even think about living a good life this year..."

The topic of men is both obscene and happy. In this regard, there is no difference between the rich and powerful children and ordinary old farmers.

The two were chatting happily, and a beautiful woman came to the end of the ridge.

Li Qinzai saw her from a long distance away, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

The old farmer also saw her, and winked at Li Qinzai: "This girl is fairer than a widow, and she looks good-looking, Wu Shaolang should not miss it."

"You know her all the time?" Li Qinzai asked.

"I don't know. A few months ago, I brought a little girl to our village. She lived in Widow Song's house. She said she came from the north as a refugee. This old man doesn't look like that. I have seen refugees who fled before. It's not like this. She and that The little girl is so upright, it looks like she came from a rich family."

Li Qinzai laughed. Cui Jie's acting skills are not good enough. Anyone can tell that she is different at a glance. She was able to escape from Qingzhou to Ganjingzhuang completely, thanks to the simple folk customs of the Tang Dynasty today, and She is as good as the chosen one.

Cui Jie had already walked in front of Li Qinzai, the old farmer laughed twice, and left with an excuse, a very discerning old man.

Raising her palms flat to touch her forehead, Cui Jie still maintained the upright etiquette of the aristocratic family.

"Cui Jie pays respects to Li Shixiong."

Li Qinzai smiled wryly and said, "We are all in the same Zhuangzi, and we meet each other once a day on average, so there's no need to salute so politely every time, right?"

"Etiquette cannot be abandoned." Cui Jie said earnestly: "Even though Cui Jie is in trouble, her behavior should not be frivolous. If she loses even the most basic upbringing, how is she different from a beast?"

Li Qinzai's cheeks twitched a few times.

I always feel that she is accusing Sang Huai, but there is no evidence...

Seeing that Li Qinzai was speechless, Cui Jie raised her eyes for a quick glance, then lowered her head, and said softly: "I don't mean to criticize Li Shixiong, Shixiong don't think too much."

Li Qinzai let out a breath, well, there is evidence.

"It doesn't matter if you scold me. 'Rites' are in the heart, not on the surface. Some people seem to be ritualistic on the surface, but they are full of male robbers and female prostitutes. When you cut the skin, you can see that there is darkness and killing inside. Such people are not as good as The same rude people."

Cui Jie smiled slightly: "Brother Li Shi, do you think you are being polite or rude?"

"Of course he looks unruly and wild, but he is a gentleman inside."

“How come you see?”

"Heh, if I was being rude in my heart, since the day I met you in Zhuangzi, you would either have been captured by the Cui family and brought back to Qingzhou and locked up in a cage, or you would no longer be a virgin."

Li Qinzai smiled at her with a nasty expression: "It's my fiancee anyway, if I do something to you, the Cui family won't be offended, right?"

Cui Jie looked up in astonishment, her pretty face flushed instantly, she didn't know whether it was from shame or anger.

"You, you..."

Li Qinzai said, "Bastard? Villain? Beast? Or a disciple?"

Cui Jie opened her small mouth, but she didn't know what to say. Li Qinzai had a much richer vocabulary than her when it came to swearing.

With a flushed face, Cui Jie turned around and left: "I, I... I won't tell you anymore!"

"Come back!" Li Qinzai lazily called to her, "I'm not teasing you anymore, let me tell you something serious."

Cui Jie had no choice but to turn around, staring at him unkindly.

Li Qinzai took a look at her and said with a smile: "Yesterday you met your brother, did you cry in your arms, and then accused him of all my crimes?"

Cui Jie said angrily: "No! Am I a villain who is behind the scenes!"

Li Qinzai blurted out in astonishment: "Ah? Do you girls still know the truth behind your back?"

Seeing Cui Jie's blank face, Li Qinzai gave a sly smile.

Well, one is not the other, there is a generation gap of thousands of years...

Cui Jie looked straight into his eyes, and said seriously: "No matter what Li Shixiong's reputation was in the past, at least he was not rude to me. Not only that, you also helped me hide my whereabouts and saved my life. Without your kindness, how can I speak ill of you behind my back?"

Li Qinzai sighed: "So understanding of righteousness makes me feel ashamed to ask you for money..."

"Money? Why do you want money?"

"I chatted with your brother yesterday. Your brother expressed his gratitude to me for taking you in. Then he offered to give me money for food and accommodation... Who would have thought that all your brother's money was given to you. I have no money, so I have to ask you for money."

Cui Jie was startled, and subconsciously covered her waist: "I... I don't live and eat in your residence, so I want to give you money?"

Li Qinzai said seriously: "The entire Zhuangzi belongs to the Li family. In theory, even if you hang yourself on a tree, you still have to pay for the accommodation. Ms. Cui must seldom go out, so she doesn't know the rules outside?"

Cui Jie was dumbfounded, Li Qinzai was right, this young lady of aristocratic family really seldom went out, I don't know what the folk rules are, but after listening to Li Qinzai's analysis, it seems very reasonable...

That's right, the entire Zhuangzi belongs to the Li family. He took him in the Zhuangzi.

But... the money given by her elder brother is still warmed up, and she wants to give it away. Cui Jie, who has known all the sufferings in the world, really feels distressed.

"I...can I give you less?" Cui Jie showed a rare expression of begging, and said: "In a few days, brother will ask someone to send money and things, then I will give you more, okay?"

Li Qinzai blinked: "How much money do you have?"

Cui Jie hesitated for a moment, then took out a small purse from her waist. There was a red peony embroidered on the purse, which was very small and unique.

Li Qinzai took the purse and couldn't help sniffling.

The purse smells so good, I don't know if it's her body fragrance or the scent of flowers and plants, as expected, everything a girl has is fragrant.

Cui Jie saw his actions, and suddenly Xia Fei's cheeks were filled with embarrassment, "You...don't smell it."

Li Qinzai grinned, opened the money bag, and there were some scattered silver pieces and a large handful of copper coins in it.

Oh, it's really different to have a brother, the shotgun has become richer, and the money is enough to feed the farmers for several years.

He bluntly took away all the scattered silver pieces in the money bag, and left some copper coins for Cui Jie. It is estimated that the remaining copper coins are probably enough for Cui Jie and Congshuang to eat nourishingly for several months. .

"For the sake of our two families' family friendship, I will try to take a little less. Hey, it's a big loss. It really hurts money to talk about feelings." Li Qinzai sighed unwillingly.

Cui Jie took back the purse and glanced inside, seeing that the silver nuggets were gone and only some copper coins were left, she couldn't help showing distressed expression.

I thought that my brother would be able to restore Bai Fumei's exquisite life after helping him, but he returned to before liberation overnight...

Cui Jie couldn't help but wonder if she was possessed by the God of Poverty recently, or why she was always hurting money.

Or maybe, it wasn't the poor god who possessed him, but the villain...

The money was taken away, but Cui Jie felt that something was getting worse and she felt that she had been blackmailed and cheated, so she gave him a careful look, and quickly retracted her gaze after the stare, for fear of being discovered by the villain.

Li Qinzai put the scattered silver pieces into his arms, smiled happily, and his face was filled with an auspicious smile of attracting wealth and wealth.

I didn't expect to cheat a few words casually, but I actually got money.

It is certain that the IQ of this lady from the family should be reduced by another [-] points, about [-] points, and she is slightly mentally retarded.

From the perspective of genetics, this woman cannot marry, otherwise the son born will not know women when he goes to the kang, and he will not know shoes when he goes off the kang.
