The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 27 Help
It's late at night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and darkness covers the dome.

The dark night has come.

As soon as the drums and gongs sounded at the second watch, four figures passed by the watchman, walking cautiously along the wall and crossing one street after another.

They were holding wine jars, carrying pine oil, or carrying unlit fire sticks. Although the things they held were different, they were all dressed in black clothes and had black cloth scarves on their faces, blending in with the black color. , looked flustered, moved furtively, hiding, going around and around, and finally stopped in a busy commercial street.

On the street, the shop doors were closed, and there was no one on the street.

Except for the four people hiding under the corner wall.

"Do we really want to burn down the Pei family's shop? That's the Pei family, a whole shopping street. If Mr. Pei knows about it, our family will be destroyed without a burial place."

One of the men said, and after speaking, he gently stroked his red and swollen cheek. It hurt when he spoke, and the two missing teeth in his mouth no longer looked ugly under the black cloth.

"That's right." The man squatting opposite him agreed: "Even if his family hadn't been destroyed, we wouldn't be able to stay in Puzhou any longer. If I had known this, I might as well have followed Mr. Yan to take up the post. If you get a job in the yamen, you'll get enough money."

"Tch, you really want to go, but it's a pity that Mr. Yan won't accept you. Who doesn't know that you and Aunt Liu are flirting with each other and have a heated fight? If Mr. Yan doesn't chop you off, just burn some incense."

At this time, the person who responded had a bandage on his left hand, one arm hanging, and he was leaning against the wall in a funny posture.

"You know nothing." The popular man pulled down the black cloth on his face, revealing a round and fair face. He didn't look like a nurse, but more like an elegant scholar. "Ours is called sympathy. It comes from Love ends with etiquette. Aunt Liu is the aunt who was snatched away by Master Yan. She is suffering in her heart, and I am the only one who is willing to listen to her pour out her bitterness and complain."

"Okay, shut up." A dull low voice ended the argument. His eyes were like torches in the dark night. "It's here now. Let's go ahead and do it. If you don't do it, you will have to wait for death. Lu San was knocked out of two One of my front teeth was broken, one of my arms was broken, and a layer of skin was peeled off my back from the iron furnace. The Qin family came from a prominent family, and all the relatives they could count were high-ranking officials in the capital. We couldn’t even complain. There is no ground to sue. She could kill us just as easily as she could kill an ant."

Lao Dao seemed calm, but he was still frightened.

Qin Ruizhi found him first. At that time, he thought it was a pie in the world, but it turned out to be a trap.

And he also hesitated whether to follow Qin Ruizhi's orders to burn down the Pei family's shop, or to surrender to the Pei family and seek their protection.

But Qin Ruizhi found them first, arranged a row of majestic relatives, and then beat them up unreasonably.

When Qin Ruizhi broke Lao Zhuang's arm, Lao Dao just arrived there and was about to tip off Lao Zhuang.

Before he could say anything, just under his eyes, Qin Ruizhi pinned Lao Zhuang's arm behind his back. When he exerted force, he heard a creaking sound, and his arm hung there uncontrollably.

It's so inhumane.

There is no backing, and there is no way to escape, so you can only work hard.

"Dry!"

The other three looked at each other, then said in unison, and then quickly dispersed in a very tacit understanding, as if they had been trained.

Lu San and Lao Dao were holding pine oil buckets, one was watering along the foot of the shop wall, the other was pouring water on the shop door. Dong Shiqi followed behind and poured wine. The wine was so strong that it was so spicy that one sip would make your throat hurt. The kind of strong liquor that makes one drunk unconsciously, the foot of the wall, the door, the window, any place that can be obtained, was left unattended.

After everything was ready, the four people stood at the south street intersection, each holding a torch in their hands.

Lao Dao took out the fire stick from his arms and blew it gently. The stars lit up across the silent night, and four torches gathered together.

After a moment, the torch was lit, illuminating the eyes of the four people. Their gazes were extremely firm and condensed into light, and the red fire in their eyes shone and danced.

Then spread out one by one...

..............................

……………… Gao’s backyard.

The windows were wide open, and the gusts of wind blew weak little flames here and there.

Qin Ruizhi was lying on the table with her chin in her hands. Not far in front of her, Xiaonian was walking around with a smile on her face, showing off her new clothes.

The clothes were made for her by Qin Ruizhi, a long cyan skirt with a straight drop and several broken-branch plum blossoms embroidered on the hem.

"Miss, do you think this dress looks good?"

Qin Ruizhi stretched lazily and said lazily, "It looks good. When we put it on in our junior year, we immediately looked like ladies."

Xiaonian was in a trance, gesticulating at the dim bronze mirror, and couldn't put it down.

Although she knew that she was just a servant and would not become noble because of a new dress, she was very happy to hear the eldest lady's compliment, whether it was sincere or false.

Gao Jiarenyi hired her to work in the government without asking for her deed of prostitution and paid her a sling of money every month. She was really a good employer.

The eldest lady even made her new clothes, saying they were a wedding gift for her.

"Are you about to faint from your own beauty?" Qin Ruizhi joked: "Sober up and go for a walk with me, Miss!"

"Very good."

Xiaonian was embarrassed by the teasing, so he quickly calmed down, ran to the foot of the wall, put the straight knife and a hammer on his shoulders, and followed Qin Ruizhi.

The two of them took advantage of the darkness and walked and chatted all the way. After about half an hour, they arrived in front of a shop.

The two stone lions at the door are lifelike, like door gods in the dark night, and the iron door stands proudly.

There are six guards patrolling around at all times.

This is the headquarters of Guanglitong Company.

Not only are real money and silver stored here, but most importantly, all deposit deeds, loan deeds, and commercial bills are also here.

"Xiao Nian, find a hidden location to hide and wait for my order."

Xiaonian responded and hid in the alley, and the dark night enveloped her figure.

Then, Qin Ruizhi tapped her toes, used the wall as a foothold, and ran up to a roof, standing in the wind. The wind was not cool, and it blew on her face, smelling a burning smell.

One moment, two moments...

Until that flash of red came into view, from a little red in the eyes to a glow that dyed half of the sky, it expanded and expanded, extending into a blood-red ribbon.

Qin Ruizhi's face finally relaxed into a smile, but she still stood facing the wind, her eyes bright, her fingers beating in an orderly rhythm, listening to the noisy noise in the silent late night, and finally turned over and landed.

He put his finger to his lips and whistled softly.

Xiaonian walked out of the dark night and heard Qin Ruizhi's low voice, "Xiaonian, go ask someone to help put out the fire."
