No taboos

Chapter 248 Debt

Xiao Loufang was so thin that his bones were visible, but he didn't know where he got so much strength from. He knocked away two senior captains.

His eyes were bloodshot, his face was pale, and he was covered in sweat. He let out a low growl like a wild beast. He rushed out of the South City Patrol Room, ran onto the street, and ran straight to the southeast.

Lang Xiaoba had already chased him out, cursing the two captains: "You two are useless! If you let him get away, I'll see how you'll explain yourself when the master returns!"

The three of them chased out together and saw that Xiao Loufang, who was running, was suddenly entangled by a rope and fell heavily to the ground.

"grown ups!"

Xu Yuan: "Drag him back."

"Yes."

Xiao Loufang's nose was broken and blood was all over her face, but she didn't care about the pain at all. She just kept panting and saying, "Let me take a breath, please, please, let me take a breath..."

Xu Yuan was annoyed by what he heard and shoved the newly made medicine pill into his mouth.

Lang Xiaoba used his technique, stroking her neck with one hand and her back with the other, and Xiao Loufang swallowed the pill with a gulp.

Xiao Loufang was still struggling to take a sip, but Xu Yuan had already walked into the South City Patrol Room: "Wait until the drug takes effect, and then bring him to me."

"Yes."

After Xu Yuan went back, Yu Yunhang asked Wuweilou for food to prepare.

After Xu Yuan and his stepmother finished their dinner, Lang Xiaoba came in and reported, "Sir, Xiao Loufang has calmed down."

Xu Yuan nodded: "Bring it here."

Lin Wanmo stepped aside and left, but Zhang Laoya walked in instead: "I'm here to watch the fun."

Xu Yuan nodded: "Do you know him?"

"I know him." Zhang Laoya sighed, "When he was at the peak of his fame, I often went to see him perform."

Lang Xiaoba brought Xiao Loufang in.

The latter had already tidied his appearance and was about to greet the inspector, but when he saw Zhang Laoya, he couldn't help but pause.

Zhang Laoya coughed and said, "Master Xu has something for you to do. I am recommending you for the sake of our old friend's honor."

Xiao Loufang smiled bitterly and said, "What's the point of me being like this now?"

Xu Yuan said, "I want to borrow your magic to do something. But let me tell you, this could cost you your life."

Xiao Loufang gritted her teeth, not daring to look at Zhang Laoya, and replied, "Give me half a pound of opium, and I'll sell you my worthless life!"

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, and Xiao Loufang quickly added, "Three taels, no, two taels will do."

"That pill you took just now has cured your addiction." Xu Yuan said, "I've made it clear to you. You can live like a normal person from now on."

Xiao Loufang was stunned, a look of disbelief on her face: "There's no solution to this..."

"That's because the alchemist you found is not of a high enough standard."

There are very few third-rate alchemists, and the only ones that Liang Banzhu could find back then were seventh-rate.

Moreover, this prescription was developed by Aunt Wang, and it is more than sixth-rate.

Xiao Loufang opened her mouth but no words came out.

He was silent for a long time, his expression changing constantly.

Zhang Laoya looked at Xu Yuan in surprise.

We went to so much trouble to save Xiao Loufang, wasn't it just to let him perform a magic trick?

Now the right to choose is given to Xiaoloufang.

It is better to live a miserable life than to die, not to mention that you helped him quit his addiction.

Xiao Loufang also asked the same question: "By doing this, aren't you afraid that it will all be in vain?"

Xu Yuan said: "I have another plan, you might as well listen to it."

"Sir, please speak."

"If you can survive, I saved you, and you helped me, then we'll be even."

"If you unfortunately don't make it, I will help you pay off any debts you owed. This will serve as compensation so that you don't die with guilt."

Xu Yuan paused, then continued, "But I guess you have a way to survive."

Xiao Loufang's method can help people bear the consequences of their actions. If there is no way to achieve liberation, who would practice such a method?
Isn't that seeking death?

Even if Xiao Loufang herself kept it strictly confidential, there is no wall in the world that is not ventilated.

If those powerful and influential people really knew about this, they would force him to bear the consequences of his actions. This way, he would become a scapegoat for others!
When Xiao Loufang heard the word "repay the debt", her expression changed.

"Your Excellency's guess is correct. I do have a way to escape." Xiao Loufang said, "But my current body is not strong enough to survive until that moment." Xu Yuan nodded, "If you don't choose either of these two..."

Xiao Loufang said, "I am willing to serve you, sir!"

Xu Yuan didn't say the rest of the words.

Of course Xu Yuan would not work in vain. He used the business method on the pill just now.

You can buy Xiaoloufang's skills!

A sixth-rate medicinal pill that can save his life is worth his entire cultivation. This price is very fair.

Xu Yuan was not interested in Xiao Loufang's method, but he could assign it to one of his subordinates.

If Xiao Loufang continues to take opium, she can no longer be considered a human being.

Xu Yuan took action without any psychological burden.

But there was still a trace of "kindness" in his heart, so he gave Xiao Loufang the right to choose.

"Okay." Xu Yuan agreed.

Xiao Loufang smiled shyly: "I owe quite a lot of debts."

"More than a thousand taels?"

Xiao Loufang shook her head and sighed, "It's not that I have too much money, but... I owe too many people over the years."

He bowed and said, "Sir, please give me some paper and pen so I can write everything down. If I die, please be sure to send them all to you."

"it is good."

Lang Xiaoba took out a pen and paper, and Xiao Loufang wrote down the following:

On a certain day of a certain year, he stole 171 cents from the pension money of Grandma Chen next door.

On a certain day of a certain month in a certain year, a man used a piece of water stone, claiming it was top-grade Hetian jade, and deceived an old man named Wang on the street into giving him two taels and one qian of silver for his son's marriage.

On a certain day of a certain month in a certain year, while Bai Hualing was taking a nap in the troupe, he stole her kingfisher feather dress, which was worth three taels and five cents of silver.

There is a lot more to come, several pages of densely written text.

There are many that I can’t remember the dates.

Xu Yuan took it and looked at it, then snorted coldly: "You really have done a lot of immoral things!"

I still remember that there were several times when he robbed the young actors in the troupe of a few large sums of money!
You can do this.

Xiao Loufang lowered her head in shame.

He knew that what he did was a beastly thing, and he felt extremely regretful when he woke up.

Therefore, I keep every account firmly in mind.

but……

"When you're addicted, you don't care about anything else."

Xu Yuan made a rough calculation and the total amount was about three hundred taels.

"Xiao Ba, put it away."

Xu Yuan didn't say anything more, but this was Lang Xiaoba's cause and effect.

If Xiao Loufang really died, if there was a chance before he died, Xu Yuan would use commercial law to sell Xiao Loufang's Taoism to Lang Xiaoba.

Xiao Loufang's method is very useful, it would be a pity to waste it.

If he survives, everything will be fine and Lord Xu will be even with him.

"Okay, you take a break, we'll perform the ritual tomorrow morning!"

"As ordered."

After Xiao Loufang took her leave, Zhang Laoya also stood up, patted his sleeves, sighed, and left.

He originally wanted to help persuade Xiao Loufang, and it would be best if he could figure it out himself.

After everyone left, Aunt Wang suddenly said, "That person's body is already ruined. He won't live long."

Xu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.

Aunt Wang added, "He should be able to feel it."

Xu Yuan said: "He is using the last bit of his life to repay his previous debts."

More than three hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, but after thinking about it, Xu Yuan decided to fulfill his promise and help him pay it back.
