Need for money

Looking at the blood-stained bamboo board in front of her, Tang Yuxiang stretched out her hand tremblingly, and squeezed it into her hand. The bamboo board was made of old bamboo, and it was quite heavy. The blood on it belonged to Zhang Xiu. At this moment, Zhang Xiu Not only was his face bruised and purple, it was red and swollen, and even the corners of his mouth were bruised.

Liu Xiang stood behind the two, just now she didn't understand why the master didn't let her help, but it turned out that there was a bamboo board hidden in the sleeve, the emotional old lady had already prepared for it.

As soon as she took the bamboo board, Tang Yuxiang saw Mrs. Lin's encouraging eyes, biting her red lips tightly, she forced herself to step forward calmly, and walked towards Qiao Baxing.

Qiao Bachang is tall and burly, with black face and black beard, and bull's eyes glaring, like a demon. If it were in the past, Tang Yuxiang would have no time to hide, so how dare he go up and beat people?

Seeing the fairy-like second grandmother of the Lin family walking towards him, Qiao Ba's dark face was extremely ugly. To be honest, he would rather let the Lin family change to a stronger man than Tang Yuxiang to beat him. What is a woman? ?In his eyes, women are just playthings for men!

If he was really slapped in the face by this beautiful woman in the street today, how would he still be able to hang out on this three-acre land in Los Angeles in the future?You must know that most people on the Tao value face more than their lives, and people like Qiao Ba, if they really lose face, they don't even think about messing around on the Tao.

Clenching his fists tightly, Qiao Ba's face was cloudy and uncertain, which showed that he was very complicated and couldn't make up his mind.

At this time, Tang Yuxiang had already walked in front of him, raised his hand, and waved the bamboo board over.

"Snapped"

Because Tang Yuxiang was afraid, although the force of this blow was not strong, but because the bamboo board was very wide, the sound was still very clear and clear, and it was heard far away.

With a 'swish', Qiao Ba's face turned extremely red. He was not beaten, but irritable. He was a big man, but he was slapped in the face by a woman in the street!

"Crack, crack, crack..."

After the second, third, four or five strokes, Tang Yuxiang gradually became more comfortable. It was this guy who wanted to forcibly take away her Jishengtang, so that her plan to escape from the Lin Mansion ran aground, and her escape route was also cut off. !

A nameless karmic fire suddenly sprang up from her chest, and the strength of her hands gradually increased. Tang Yuxiang was young after all, and her strength was much stronger than that of Mrs. Lin. As the voice overshadowed, Qiao Ba's black face quickly It was red and swollen, the flesh was torn, and blood flowed horizontally.

I don't know how many hits before Tang Yuxiang stopped. At this time, Qiao Ba was already beaten like no one. At this time, in the eyes of everyone, in addition to her stunning appearance, she also became like an old lady Lin Generally, ruthless.

The gangsters and sergeants on the opposite side were also startled by her methods. Not only did they not dare to look at her secretly any more, they also quietly stepped back a few steps, widening the distance, for fear of becoming the next target to be beaten.

"Boom"

Just as Tang Yuxiang stopped, there was a loud noise next to her, which made her tremble and almost threw the bamboo board away.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were attracted by the sound. It turned out that Jule Gambling House collapsed in the raging fire. Suddenly, black smoke billowed and sparks splashed everywhere. Moreover, the shops adjacent to Jule Gambling House, There was also a flame at the moment.

The bosses of those shops were in a hurry at the moment, walking back and forth in front of their houses one by one, wanting to step forward to put out the fire, but they didn't dare.

Mrs. Lin glanced casually, pointed at the gangster and sergeant on the opposite side, and said, "Go and put out the fire!"

With a "crash", the guards of the Lin family finally moved out of the way.

The immediate superiors and bosses of these people were beaten in the face by others in the street, and they dared not resist. How dare they disobey the order, and hurriedly ran nearby to find wooden basins and containers that could hold water, and fetched water to put out the fire.

Fortunately, in this era, there are wells in every small courtyard, and the nearby people also participated in fighting the fire. After a while, the fire was brought under control, but even so, the losses of those shops were huge.

"Zhang Shoubei, this dog just sent someone to forcefully collect some protection money in the Lin family's property, and wanted to refuse the shop as his own. How do you think about it?" Mrs. Lin made a fuss for a long time, and when the nausea in her chest was over, she started Get down to business.

Zhang Xiu stood up under the signal of Mrs. Lin, still bent over, with an unnatural expression on her face, and replied: "The lower officials think that this person should be tied into the Yamen, and Lord Wang will make the decision."

"Don't be so troublesome!" Mrs. Lin waved her hand, "In my opinion, it's better to let him return the 2 taels of protection money that was extorted from the Lin family to the Lin family, and then lose the burned shops. Make it up, count it as a punishment, and that’s fine.”

"Yes, what the old lady said is very true." Zhang Xiu didn't dare to show any disrespect to old lady Lin at this moment even though her chest was full of fire.

The corners of Qiao Ba's mouth twitched when he heard the words, and his heart was furious, 2 taels of silver, this is naked extortion!

But angry, after receiving the sneaky wink from Zhang Xiu, he had no choice but to bear it down, knelt down and replied: "The villain is willing to return the Lin family's 2 taels of silver and compensate all the neighbors for the loss of the blind date."

"Then hurry up and get the silver. I'm sleepy, and I want to go back to the house to rest early." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Lin waved her hand, motioning for Tang Yuxiang to come back, and then grabbed her granddaughter-in-law's trembling little hand .

After Tang Yuxiang beat someone, she was a little scared, not only her heart was beating wildly, but her face was also a little pale.

Qiao Ba didn't dare to take it easy when he heard the words, so he hurried home to get the money, while Mrs. Lin led Tang Yuxiang back to the carriage and waited in the carriage.

The two pretty young men who had spoken before glanced at each other, turned and left, walked a long way, and after there were no more idlers around, the one on the left opened his mouth again, and said lightly: "That Qiao Ba is nothing. Good thing, send someone to get rid of him."

"Well, I didn't expect him to be able to bear it just now." The one on the right said, rubbing the fingers of his right hand, the light flashed between the fingers, and there were a few small silver darts between them, "If He just started, it will save a lot of trouble."

"If you can bear it, you have to get rid of it!" The one on the left said again.

The one on the right nodded silently, then changed the topic suddenly, habitually raised a small hand, covered his mouth, and said with a slightly unrestrained smile: "The second grandma of the Lin family looks like a fairy, even I was fascinated by her." Come on, although your looks are not worse than hers, but your temperament is too calm, I guess you will marry into the Lin family in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to compete with her."

The one on the left had a complex expression when he heard the words, and then sighed softly after a long time, "She is the main wife, and I will only be a concubine when I marry into the Lin family. If I can't compete, I won't compete."

"Hmph, I really have no ambition. I still want to see how you guys will fight for power and profit in the future."

The two walked and chatted, but did not see a young man hidden in the crowd frowning slightly, staring at their backs all the time. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze.

"The Lin family's backyard is so complicated. How is she doing these days?" '
