Chapter 21 Life is but a gamble

(13,000 votes, one update, thanks to Drunkyong, Xin Xingshi, Steed9527, Qingxi Liuquan, Banzhe88 and other brothers for their support)

Xu Huai said: "What should I do next? Of course, the first step is to redeem yourself for Miss Qiong'er!"

"My value is not high. You can only take out three thousand taels of silver and you can redeem me." Liu Qiong'er said.

"Miss Liu can make the hanged ghost happy. She won't even save up three thousand taels of private money in the past few years, right?" Xu Huai asked.

"You all say that there may be problems with these silver. Will it be useful if I take it out?" Liu Qiong'er said angrily.

She walked to the bed, opened a secret lattice, took out a wooden box and tried hard to put more than a dozen ingots of silver onto the bedding for Xu Huai to see; Xu Huai glanced at the secret lattice that there was still a lot of inventory in the secret lattice.

Liu Qiong'er has been in contact with people from all walks of life and has been dealing with all kinds of people in the past few years, so she naturally has heard of the iron-feeding silver and tin-feeding silver.

After Xu Huai reminded her yesterday, she took out the silver and looked carefully. She didn't need to open it, so she was sure that most of the silver ingots she had exchanged for in the Tang family warehouse in the past were problematic.

Not to mention that these silver ingots are all privately cast, even if they have the exclusive mark of the Tang family’s warehouse, she will take it out to redeem or sue the official at this time, so how can the Tang family recognize it?

What cruel means does Yuehonglou usually use to control those disobedient girls, servants, and Liu Qiong'er know better than anyone else. What can she struggle except breaking her teeth and swallowing her stomach?

Do you think you didn’t die fast enough and didn’t die ugly enough?

"Miss Qiong'er, do you want to make a bet with Xu Huai?" Xu Huai asked.

"What are you betting on?" Liu Qiong'er asked.

"Miss Qiong'er, you can use these silver ingots to redeem your life with Yuehonglou. Do Yuehonglou dare to verify the authenticity of this silver?" Xu Huai said.

"Do you think the Tang family is so easy to bully?" Liu Qiong'er couldn't help laughing, wanting to tell Xu Huai not to make trouble. They had no chance of winning at all.

"I borrowed this leather armor specially today and brought two more short blades. I think I can bet." Xu Huai sat up, took off his outer shirt, revealing the leather armor inside. His sword was of average quality, and if he really wanted to fight, he might not be able to break for a long time, so he had two more short blades around him.

"..." Liu Qiong'er stared at Xu Huai in surprise.

"People always have to fight." Xu Huai said with a smile.

"..." Liu Qiong'er took a breath and sat back at the table, her face gloomy and unstable.

Xu Huai said lightly, but Liu Qiong'er dared to easily confront Yuehonglou?

"Who should I ask for the redemption of my life? I'll call you for someone," Xu Huai stood up and said, "I said, Miss Qiong'er, don't worry too much. With this poem by Wang Xiang, even if I lose, I don't believe that Yuehonglou dares to sink into Miss Qiong'er to the pond to plant lotus flowers tonight? If you hesitate, don't blame me for not looking down on you in the future!"

"I am just a laughing person, and you want you to look down on me!" Liu Qiong'er said angrily, but after thinking about it carefully, she had to admit that Xu Huai was right, gritted her teeth and moved her privately to the table over the past few years, called in the maid who served her, and said, "Hongcui, go and call Mrs. Wang, Manager Tang, come here. They promised me that I can redeem myself any time. I want to redeem myself today!"

…………

…………

"This is awesome, and I didn't say anything in advance. Why do you leave if you say you want to leave? We mother and daughter get along with each other, at least you can say something in advance. If you do this, how can I explain it to the boss?"

As the leading brand in Yuehonglou, although Madam Wang was old and deteriorating, she was proud to train several girls to be popular, which also made her position in Yuehonglou as stable as Mount Tai.

Even Tang Lingde, who represents the Tang family, is always polite to her and will discuss anything with her.

Madam Wang had long forgotten the painful memories of being abducted to Yuehonglou. She was very satisfied with her current situation. She could not watch the money tree. Liu Qiong'er, who was also one of the guarantees of her status in Yuehonglou, was redeemed and left at this time.

Madam Wang didn't know what medicine Liu Qiong'er had taken, but she thought that she would expect her to make money from Enke in the future and ensure that she had a good mood and a cooperative attitude was more important than anything else.

Therefore, although she was furious, she could still hold back and come over to Tang Lingde, and advised Liu Qiong'er not to do stupid things impulsively.

"I just want to know if what Mrs. Wang and Manager Tang promised me is still counted? I have saved enough money to redeem myself, so I hope I can redeem myself today. I don't want to stay here for a moment. I hope Mrs. Wang will fulfill his duties and let Qiong'er leave!" Liu Qiong'er said gritting her teeth when she knew that she had no turning back when she opened the bow.

"What are you stupid guys here?" Tang Lingde was so angry that he didn't want to rush to use tricks to Liu Qiong'er, but stared at Xu Huai who was wearing armor and holding a knife.

"Your uncle is a fool. I am your mother. Can't you sit here?" Xu Huai glared at me.

Tang Lingde was not in a hurry to spread his anger on Liu Qiong'er, a ignorant bitch, but how could he continue to watch Xu Huai be presumptuous in Yuehong Building?

He didn't even move, just glanced at the thug behind him. At that moment, a man jumped forward, stretched out his left hand to grab Xu Huai's collar, and clenched his right hand and smashed it directly into Xu Huai's face:

"Dare you dare to come to Yuehonglou to play wild? Open your dog's eyes and see, is this where you, a mistress, can sit?"

Xu Huai stood in a low position with his left hand, shook the man's eyes with his left claws, and kicked his right leg like a giant python suddenly rushed out of the depths of the grass. He kicked the man in the chest in a flash of lightning and fire. Then he heard the repeated "cracks", and the man actually broke the door and fell out.

Before the other thugs behind Tang Lingde could move, Xu Huai drew out the knife in the next moment, and took a step and slashed at Tang Lingde.

The python sword is a sword of the military formation, and there are no complicated routines. Whether it is horizontal slashing, stabbing, or heavy slashing, the essence of many changes is to ensure that the force can fall just right at the contact.

Xu Huai was clumsy in the past, but no one could deny that he was born with divine power. He was brave enough to fight ten when he was incorporated into the military formation.

Xu Wujiang used to hope that he could play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and deliberately asked him to practice the slashing method in the python sword so that he could join the inspection department in the future and have a foundation for establishing himself.

Before Lu Xiong was pulled out, Xu Huai drew his sword and slashed, and he also had the momentum of force to cut the mountain.

Xu Huai drew his sword and slashed straight at him. Tang Lingde felt a sense of irresistible trance by nightmare, his body was stiff, and he felt that he would be chopped in half by this knife in the next moment.

"Xu Huai, don't kill anyone!" Liu Qiong'er screamed sternly.

Xu Huai took the knife and stood back behind Liu Qiong'er.

Tang Lingde has lived a pampered life for many years and has become dull. He stood there as if he was stunned and suspected that Xu Huai's sword had already been slashed. As long as he moved a little, his body would be divided into two halves.

There were two thugs in the room, following Tang Lingde with his face, trying to intimidate Liu Qiong'er. At this moment, he felt a chill on the back of his head. He turned around and saw that the person was kicked and smashed the door and fell out. Everyone was already kicked and he didn't get up now.

This is killing the embryo!

Xu Huai didn't see the two of them untied the knife and protected Tang Lingde. He just stood there with the knife in his arms, frowned impatiently, and asked Liu Qiong'er rudely: "How long will it take to take this mess to leave? Mr. Wang only gave me ten copper coins. I don't want to miss the bacon steamed by Aunt Seventeen - if these turtle sons don't give way, I can fight for you, and I'll beat you up!"

I only collected ten copper coins after killing the embryo, so I didn’t care about drawing my sword to kill people?

This world is crazy, or is it so cheap to find a killer?

Tang Lingde felt a chill in his neck at this moment, and he thought that if it weren't for Liu Qiong'er's call, how unfair he would have died!

Is it worth ten bronzes?

Is this idiot in the Xu family really smart?

"Brother Xu is a little restless. Mother Wang and Manager Tang are all reasonable people," Liu Qiong'er comforted Xu Huai with an irritable face, and then explained to Madam Wang. Tang Lingde, "Brother Wang has redeemed his life and has some personal belongings to move out. He specially asked Mr. Wang to call Brother Xu to help - Brother Xu is not serious in his work, so he also asked Mother Wang, Manager Tang, don't be surprised."

"What's light and what's heavy, he is serious. He's only ten mothers, and he's going to have to serve you all night?" Xu Huai stretched out his feet and hooked a chair, picked it up and knocked the wooden lattice window open, raised his knife and was about to slash it over, but was grabbed by Liu Qiong'er.

Xu Huai impatiently pushed Liu Qiong'er towards Madam Wang and shouted: "I was so angry with you yesterday, and I didn't let you touch my milk! Let's be more cheerful!"

Two thugs were guarding the window, caught off guard, and were caught off guard. The chair that was thrown out and the collapsed wooden window was screaming. However, they held the weapon in their hands, but they didn't know what to do next, so they looked at Tang Lingde together.

Tang Lingdeneng, who represented the Tang family in charge of Yuehong Building, also experienced storms. After a little shock, he felt a headache.

He knew that there was no way to reason with the foolish guy of the Xu family. Looking at the foolish guy of the Xu family, he didn't look like he wanted to reason, and it was impossible for him to send someone to drag him away easily.

However, if you really have to push the sword to face each other, you might have to lose several lives to subdue the silence, but is this really going to be a disaster?

Tang Lingde suddenly realized that if he was going to die, no matter whether the Xu family's stupid guy splattered blood in Yuehonglou or if there were three or five people who died under the stupid guy's knife, the matter would never be stopped.

"Why haven't Xu Wujiang arrived yet?" Tang Lingde asked the people in the yard in anger.

Liu Qiong'er asked the maid to come and say she wanted to redeem herself. Tang Lingde learned that the Xu family was a fool, so he was on guard and had already sent someone to find Xu Wujiang.

"Xu Wujiang didn't know where he went. Maybe Deng Langjun sent out of the military camp. When he found Di Niang, he said that this guy was entrusted by Mr. Wang, and she couldn't control him!" Someone in the yard replied, "Do you want to send someone to find the second master again?"

Tang Lingde thought that the second son was the deputy head of the inspection department, but the killing of embryo was indeed sent by Wang Bing. Can the second son really bring people here to drag the killing of embryo away?

Tang Lingde stared at Liu Qiong'er with a gloomy face for a while and asked, "That piece of paper is indeed a lyric given to you by Mr. Wang?"

"Staff Manager Tang is also interested in lyrics?" Liu Qiong'er asked pretending to be confused.

Only then did she believe that Xu Huai's plan was effective, and the person who was really called Tang Lingde or the Tang family behind Tang Lingde was afraid of Wang Bing.

Even if the common people die, there is no injustice.

Every year, there are one or two girls and servants who sell themselves as slaves in Yuehong Building, who do not abide by the rules, be beaten to death, kill chickens and monkeys, but even if you sue the official, you will be sentenced to one who accidentally kills the slave and punishes the silver.

So, if Wang Bing hadn't been to redeem her today, Tang Lingde found out that there was a problem with the money on the spot, and it was very likely that she would not allow her to appeal, so she ordered her to sell herself to pick up customers today.

Even if she was beaten to death, she would be fined two or three hundred taels of silver if she was to be beaten to the official position.

With Wang Bing, it's different.

With Wang Bing behind her, Xu Huai and her make a big fuss with the Red Mansion today, so that they can truly make waves.

Wang Bing seemed to have been demoted to Tangzhou and had no official position, but Wang Bing really wanted to avenge the victim, how much would the Tang family have to pay to order county magistrate Cheng Lunying and magistrate Chen Shitie to continue to favor the Tang family?

Or maybe Cheng Lunying and Chen Shi took this opportunity to rob the Tang family?

Seeing that Tang Lingde was afraid, Liu Qiong'er calmed down and picked up the poem on the table and handed it to him...
