Shen Qingqing was good-looking, and she was even more handsome in men's clothes. Her smile almost took away Ah Li's soul.
So, no fool can refuse a rich and domineering tall, rich and handsome man.
Shen Qingqing thought at first that these people were arresting her for money, but now it seems that is obviously not the case. No one is bold enough to arrest a court official, and they look very poor and are still going through a difficult psychological struggle.
If it's not for money, what's the point? They don't look like bad people.
Although the girl's clothes were clean, one could tell that they had been washed many times and the color had turned white, so that the original color could no longer be seen.
Three thousand taels was a huge amount to them. Although Ah Li's brain was clear, his instincts could no longer be controlled and his whole body was trembling, even to the tip of his heart.
Her lips and tongue trembled: "Three, three thousand taels?"
Shen Qingqing took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into Ah Li's hand, "Here are three thousand taels. You can use it to pay the rent. With the rest, you can buy some beautiful clothes for yourself and some food for the children. See how hungry the children are." How are you doing?"
As she spoke, Shen Qingqing pinched Little Winter Melon's chubby little face, which moved her so much that she cried.
"Sister Ah Li, Lord Shen is a good person, we can't hurt him!"
"Shut up, he gave you some sugar-coated bullets and surrendered? Don't forget our purpose."
Ah Li looked at Shen Qingqing coldly, "Don't try to confuse people with your sweet words anymore. To tell you the truth, we are not arresting you for money."
"You don't look like bad people, and you didn't hurt me. If it's not for money, then is it for people?"
"Master Xiao Shen, you are so smart. Yes, we arrested you all to save our hall master." Xiao Donggua stated the purpose without thinking.
Ah Li glared at Xiao Donggua, and said she had no idea.
"Forget it, I'll just tell you the truth, Dog Officer, our court..."
Shen Qingqing stretched out her finger to stop him and said: "Wait a minute, let me tell you something, just now you were young Master Shen, how come you have become a dog official again?"
"You can easily take out three thousand taels. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's salary for a year cannot get this amount. It must be from corruption and bribery. Isn't it a bad official or an honest official?"
Shen Qingqing was speechless: "My Shen family is the founding hero of the country. The family property passed down from our ancestors will not be worth a few thousand taels of silver. If you show some respect, maybe I can help you."
Xiao Donggua's eyes lit up, "Really? You can really help us?"
"First tell me what the situation is. I often do good deeds without leaving my name. If I hadn't helped her cross the road, I wouldn't have been caught by you."
Xiao Donggua tugged at Ah Li's clothes again. Ah Li saw that Shen Qingqing's brows were clear and her eyes were frank and there was no evil in them, so she sighed and said, "We are members of the Justice Alliance."
The Justice League? It doesn’t sound like a good organization at first glance.
Shen Qingqing nodded, "I'd like to hear the details."
The three of them were a little surprised that this man was so calm when hearing about the Justice League, and he didn't show any discriminatory expression.
Xiao Donggua then spoke: "Sir, Xiao Shen, the thing is like this, we are the Eight Aunt Mountain branch of Qidagu Village, Toshluogai Town, Burksai County, Justice League, because the church is too poor..."
Shen Qingqing burst out laughing. Under the gazes of several people, Shen Qingqing covered her mouth and turned serious instantly, "What about that? I definitely didn't mean to make fun of you guys living in separate houses. I'm just a little curious about the eighth aunt in the seventh aunt's village." Auntie Mountain."
Xiao Donggua didn't care about her rudeness, and continued: "The last weeds were picked up on the mountain, and all the brothers in the hall except for us left. The hall master had no choice but to go down the mountain to make money, and by the way, we, the Justice Society, Let the alliance flourish.
Everything was going well at first. The hall master wrote to us and told us that he came to the Imperial City and found a high-paying job. Soon he would be able to bring money back to his hometown to revive his career and recruit a large number of people to join the Justice League. Unexpectedly, I was caught helping an old lady cross the road..."
Shen Qingqing was curious: "This is a good thing. How could I be arrested for helping an old lady?"
"When we saw that the hall master had not come back for a long time, we also went down the mountain to the imperial city. After asking around, the hall master injured the horse that was running rampant in order to save the old lady. The horse turned out to be the high official's good horse, and the hall master was convicted for this. We wanted to redress our grievances, but we didn't expect that we couldn't even see the hall master's face."
"So you kidnapped me? Want to save your hall master?"
"We have no other choice. We heard that Mr. Xiao Shen is an upright minister of Dali Temple, so we boldly invited you to listen to what we have to say."
Xiao Donggua also held on to her sleeves, "Xiao Shen, although our hall master has a bad temper, grinds his teeth, snores and farts when he sleeps at night, and picks up bird eggs when he has nothing to do, he is really a good person, so you can Let him go."
Shen Qingqing shrugged helplessly, "I would like to let go, but I don't have the power. I am not the person you are looking for."
"Don't try to deny it. When we saw you coming out of the Shen family, we all said that the Lord Dali Temple likes white clothes the most and has a handsome appearance. Who else is there besides you?"
Shen Qingqing spread her hands, "That's my brother. He went to Dali Temple before dawn. How could he hang out in these places?"
"then who are you?"
"I am... Shen Qingci, the fourth eldest son of the Shen family." Shen Qingqing rolled her eyes and told a lie without blushing or heartbeat.
Xiao Donggua burst into tears: "What should we do? Our hall master is going to be executed at noon today. We actually arrested the wrong person and we don't have enough time."
"Even if you bump into an official, you won't be beheaded in public. Your hall master was arrested for this reason, right?"
Shen Qingqing didn't believe that her brother could be so confused that he would behead him in public. It was definitely not that simple.
"But our hall master is reluctant to even trample ants to death." Xiao Donggua muttered, wiping her tears: "He just hunted and ate all the game in the mountains. I have long advised him not to kill. Look, Now that I have received retribution, I will be killed by others."
Shen Qingqing looked at the sky and said, "It's almost noon. There's no time. I have a way to save your hall master."
"Master Shen, if you can save our hall master, we will definitely work as cattle and horses for you to repay your great kindness."
"That's not necessary. If he is really a good person as you said, it would be a good thing for me to save him. Listen to me, we don't have much time now and we have to take risks."
Ah Li listened to her carefully and asked, "Master Shen, what do you have to say?"
"Tribulation Field!"
Ah Li: "Ah?"
"This is the only time we have. If something unexpected happens, you will take me as a hostage. My brother will definitely let your hall master go for my sake. You should take the opportunity to run away."
Shen Qingqing stuffed a few silver notes into Ah Li's hands, you should quickly prepare a few horses and have them groomed. Once your hall master is rescued, he will return to your Seventh Aunt Village and Eight Aunt Mountain without stopping."
"Young Master Shen's great kindness will be unforgettable to us!"
None of them noticed the pair of red eyes outside the door.
