Chapter 116 Nine Layers Building

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

"You guys, when did you go out?"

Xin Yi smiled and jumped out of the carriage, "Miss Boss, find a guy to help us feed the horses, and get some food. I'm so hungry."

The proprietress was still in shock.

These guests acted strangely, and her heartstrings were tense. Seeing a few tall men walking in, she quickly pulled Xin Yi aside and whispered secretly.

"Little lady, who are you guys? I want to sell the foot shop right now, and save money to redeem my owner. Please don't cause trouble for me."

Xin Yi understood the worry of the proprietress, and patted her hand reassuringly.

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

It's okay not to say that, but the proprietress is even more afraid when she mentions 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, you really knew each other before? Little lady, you must be cautious, you and your family Brother, be careful and guard against him."

Xin Yi pondered for a while, seeing that the proprietress was obviously tentative, afraid that she would do something because of nervousness and spoil their plan, so she simply let it go.

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

The lady boss changed her face.

Xin Yi said: "My Ninth Brother, he is... People in the Jianghu are called Jiuchonglou. I wonder if the proprietress has heard of it? After all, he is a person with more face than Wan Liyu. He is omnipotent in both black and white. You just need to obey me Arrange, tomorrow, my ninth brother will be able to rescue you as the head of the family. Moreover, you don't need to transfer the shop anymore, and the family can make a stable living in Yongqiu from now on..."

The proprietress was dubious.

A heart hangs in his throat, no matter what he can't let it fall.

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

"You mean, your brother can persuade Hezhi County?"

Xin Yi thought for a while, then nodded, "I will be able to convince you."

If you are not convinced, then convince him.

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

The landlady's face went from hesitation to panic to joy in just a split second, and then she changed into a smile, called the men to help them feed the horses, and then went to the stove to make a fire and knead the noodles, cook them food, and let people Serve all the melons and fruits in the store.

Duan Sui looked at it strangely, came over and asked: "Eleven Niang, what did you say to the proprietress, why is she so enthusiastic?"

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

Duan Sui's words were pleasing to his ears, he glanced at her, and didn't ask any more questions.

Tired all night, everyone ate something and went to rest.It is only said that Fu Jiuqu inexplicably got the nickname of "Jiuzhonglou", and he didn't know it, but it was spread in Yongqiu the next day.

According to Xin Yi's instructions, the proprietress found several people like her husband who had family members who were arrested by the government and imprisoned by the government, and went to the dignitaries of the Yongqiu County Yamen together.She made a deal with these people in private that there is a Jianghu man named "Jiuzhonglou" who has already arranged for them in Hezhi County, and he can release him as long as he goes.

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

~

When He Xu learned that Wan Liyu had escaped last night, he was still in shock and didn't sleep well all night.

At dawn, he received the news from Xigang.

Someone came to tell him that everything was settled properly, the "cows and horses" and the spices were all put into the fire pit and burned, and then covered with soil, even if Fu Jiuqu really found it, he couldn't find any evidence.

His heart finally fell in half.

As long as they catch Wan Carp again, or kill that guy, they can live comfortably for a good year.

He Xu hummed a ditty to take a bath and change clothes. Just as he was about to go back to his room to catch up on sleep, the Dengwen drum outside rang.

The servant came to report, "My lord, a group of unscrupulous people gathered at the gate of the county government office, looking for someone from us. The concierge said that they refused to leave, and even beat the drums."

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

"Boom away, boom away. Tell them, whoever makes trouble again will go to jail and ask for crimes."

The boy went out in response, and came back soon.

"My lord, they said that there is a Jianghu man named Jiuchonglou, who has already arranged with the magistrate. All the money has been spent, so let them just come to ask for someone..."

"Jiuzhonglou? I don't know what Jiuzhonglou is." He Xu raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, anger came from it, the drowsiness disappeared, he put on his clothes and went out.

"Wan Liyu must be playing tricks. Go, go out and have a look."

~

The road at the entrance of the Yongqiu County Yamen was originally narrow, and the dignitaries summoned their relatives and friends to strengthen their courage, and those who rushed to the morning market and watched the excitement gathered around, blocking the entire street.

It was freezing cold.

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

"Who instigated you to make trouble? Don't tell me, all of you will be arrested by the county."

Seeing his fierce appearance, everyone felt a little afraid.

The lady proprietress of Ruyi's house hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said: "My lord, the women and the head of the family have opened a foot shop in Nanxi Lane. They have been earning a legitimate living for many years, and they are often harmed by the gangsters of the Bian Palace. I caught him, said he was a bandit, and asked us to redeem him with three hundred pennies... We managed to get the money together and hand it over, why did the old man not count what he said?"

He Xu's face turned green.

"It's nonsense. When did you give money to this county? Don't stain the innocence of this county."

The proprietress took out a note from her bosom.

"My lord, here's the writing, you can't deny it, it's a man from the rivers and lakes called Jiuchonglou, a man who worked as a middleman for the women... It's clearly written in black and white, it's hard for your yamen to collect money recognize?"

Everyone echoed.

"Yes. Yes."

"My lord, you can't deny it."

He Xu saw that what they said was serious, so he quickly called the master and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? You took money from a man named Jiuchonglou and promised to let him go?"

This master, surnamed Wu, was born with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. When he heard this, he was at a loss, "No. Without the consent of the adults, how can the young ones dare to make decisions on their own?"

snort!He Xu looked at him suspiciously: "You better not dare."

The note in the proprietress's hand was presented by the servant, and He Xu shook his hand, his face turned green when he saw it, and he gritted his teeth and looked at the master.

"What a guts, how dare you collect money behind the county's back?"

The master was shocked, glanced at the written evidence, and showed surprise on his face, "No, my lord will check it out! Although this seal is a small name taboo, the characters are not written by the small one. Besides, even if the small one collects money, how can it be written by someone?" ..."

This master usually eats less and takes less, and He Xu knows it well.

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the handwriting is from the master, as long as he believes that the master did it.

It's fine to block him during the New Year's Eve, and let the people block the important people at the door, losing his official reputation, which made He Xu furious for a while.

"Dog, if this matter gets out, how do you ask me to behave?"

After He Xu finished speaking with a livid face, he ordered the servants.

"Come here, tie up Master Wu to this county, and take him to a prison for questioning."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the noisy people again and said loudly: "You all go back first, this county will thoroughly investigate this matter. If you are guilty or not, you will have your own justice..."

Several yamen servants ended up taking people.

When Master Wu saw that it was going to be bad, grief and indignation suddenly rose in his heart.

He knew too much about He Xu. With He Xu's personality, he must be sacrificed to heaven.Wan Liyu is a lesson for him. Once he is thrown into prison, He Xu still has the final say on life and death?
If you don't argue at this time, you will have no chance.

Master Wu struggled to break free from the restraints of the two yamen servants, rushed directly into the crowd, and yelled loudly in front of the people all over the street.

"Fairness? How did you know that the county was corrupt and perverted the law? When did you ask for justice?"

He smiled coldly, "Why does the county want the little one to take the blame for you? Bah! What a dream, even if I die today, I will expose your evil deeds in public and let the people of the world know what kind of scum you are .”

He Xu changed his face, pointing angrily at Master Wu who was cursing wildly.

"Take it, take him for the county."

His original intention was to scare Master 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 caused the trouble, so as to get angry with the people, they should be taken back first.

As for how to deal with it, is it up to him?

How could he know that Master Wu had been terrified by recent events, but he didn't dare to think about He Xu's actions for the better.

"Folks, your relatives are all in prison, some were tortured to death by Hezhi County, some were dying, and there is still a breath left, but even if you take money to redeem people, Hezhi County will not let them go back... ...The Bianhe robbery case, the king of Guangling County wanted to explain it, but Wan Liyu ran away, and the Biangong gang members, He Zhi County would not dare to hand it over to the King of Guangling County. These innocent people were tortured..."

The master ran and shouted, and screamed at the yamen servant.

"Don't give your life to Hezhi County anymore, brothers, my today is your tomorrow... It's my yesterday, don't you understand? If you act as a tiger, you will be punished..."

"Take him down, take him down." He Xu was furious.

Master Wu was as cunning as a rat, he didn't confront the yamen servants head-on, he hid wherever there were too many people, for a while, the street in front of the county yamen was full of noise.The crowd was discussing a lot, the sky was dense with lead clouds, and a certain kind of full emotion seemed to have reached the critical point where it had to explode...

At this moment, a loud cry pierced the sky.

"The King of Guangling County is here!"
