Qiao Yujie was alone in the room. She had been very sad just now, but now that Xiong Bufan had disturbed her peace, she was even more worried about her purse. There were more than ten taels of silver in there. She wondered if she could get it back. Her silver, the silver she had worked so hard to earn. You can find another man if you lose him, but once the silver is gone, it's gone forever.

After receiving the silver, Xiong Bufan tried to detect the scent in the air. The scent didn't seem as strong as when he was tracking the murderer, making it difficult to locate the person by smell. "Kongkong, give me Aniu's location."

Kongkong: "Bufan, run to the left, he's not far away. Run to the right two hundred meters ahead. Bufan, be careful, if you cripple us, we'll be kicked out."

As she ran, Xiong Bufan said, "I know what I'm doing." She had a good idea.

Ah Niu works as a staff member in Minister Lin's mansion, preparing to take the imperial examination next year, so he rarely goes home with Qiao Yujie.

Minister Lin's household had many guards. The case of a minor official being wiped out still left a psychological shadow on many officials. As the end of the year approached, they hired many guards to prevent the tragedy from happening again.

Following Kong Kong's directions, Xiong Bufan arrived at A Niu's courtyard. It took Xiong Bufan a lot of effort to avoid the guards. When he finally reached the courtyard, A Niu was reading alone in his study. He was not surprised to see Xiong Bufan. He put down his book and walked over with a smile to greet him, "Xiong Bufan, you're here."

Xiong Bufan: "You did this on purpose?"

A Niu avoided Xiong Bufan's question and gestured to Xiong Bufan, "Sit." He had always known that Xiong Bufan was a smart person who was good at using the resources around him to achieve his goals, and recently he had also made contact with the Dali Temple, making him a good partner.

Xiong Bufan sat in the chair, quietly waiting for A Niu to explain. She was a reasonable person and wouldn't attack without a reason.

Ah Niu sat down and slowly said, "Xiong Bufan, you are a smart man. The Dali Temple needs to choose sides and restore peace to the people of the capital."

Xiong Bufan: "I am a smart man, but the Dali Temple is not mine."

Ah Niu sighed inwardly. Xiong Bufan was really greedy, daring to covet the Dali Temple. But he was afraid of those who weren't greedy. Once people are greedy, they will have weaknesses. "The Dali Temple will become yours."

"No way, that place is gloomy and boring."

Ah Niu's face darkened. "Then what do you want?"

"A ton of gold."

Ah Niu suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, okay."

Xiong Bufan didn't understand why A Niu suddenly laughed. He complained that A Niu wasn't very bright. He never expected that the first person to praise him for being smart would be a fool. But this fool actually managed to fool Qiao Yujie.

Ah Niu: "Miss Xiong, then it's settled."

What did we agree on? Xiong Bufan clearly remembered that he had used money to teach him a lesson. This man was just changing the subject and deceiving his innocent and kind self. Thinking of this, Xiong Bufan slapped A Niu to the ground. "You scumbag!"

Ah Niu was stunned. Weren't they having a good talk? Why did this woman suddenly attack him?

Xiong Bufan didn't give him a chance to speak, covered his mouth and started hitting him. For a moment, the only sound in the room was the muffled thud of fists hitting his body.

Only a fool would let Ah Niu cry out. Once born, it would attract attention, and Xiong Bufan didn't want to cause trouble.

Kongkong: "Bufan, don't cripple us, don't cripple us, crippling us will cause a lot of trouble."

Xiong Bufan slowly stopped, and A Niu, whose head was swollen like a pig's head, lay on the ground. Before leaving, Xiong Bufan kicked him and happily went to the street to buy food with the silver given to him by Qiao Yujie.

A Niu struggled to his feet and walked shakily to the table to pour himself a glass of water. There were no injuries on his face, but A Niu was seriously injured and would not be able to get out of bed for at least three or four days. If you can't reason with someone, then you can't reason with them. Why did you have to resort to violence?

Xiong Bufan bought a bunch of dried fruit and went back. Qiao Yujie was recovering well and was still cooking with 002, waiting for Xiong Bufan to come back for dinner.

Qiao Yujie thought that since she had already given Xiong Bufan the money, couldn't she at least have a meal here? It would be too much if she wasn't even allowed to have a meal.

At the dinner table, Qiao Yujie had almost recovered. "If you have no feelings for me, then I will leave. There are plenty of fish in the sea. There are plenty of men out there. Why hang yourself on a crooked tree?" But Qiao Yujie still drank too much.

Looking at Qiao Yujie crying and making a scene on the bed, Xiong Bufan wanted to hit her, but he couldn't argue with a drunkard. Qiao Yujie kept trying to hug Xiong Bufan, and Xiong Bufan pushed her away again and again. Finally, Qiao Yujie fell asleep in Xiong Bufan's arms, with tears still on her eyes.

"Drunkard, wake up."

Qiao Yujie was still too sleepy to wake up, so Xiong Bufan gently pulled her onto the bed, covered her with a blanket, and slowly left the room.

002 was roasting persimmons in the kitchen when she saw Xiong Bufan come out. She handed the roasted persimmons to her and said, "Eat up, they're delicious when they're roasted."

"Thank you." Xiong Bufan took the persimmon and slowly began to eat it.

One of them was roasting a persimmon, and the other was eating it. After washing his hands, 002 touched his chest and remembered that he had bought silk flowers and a silver hairpin for Xiong Bufan during the day.

After Xiong Bufan washed his hands, 002 took out a silk flower and a silver hairpin from his pocket and, imitating A Niu, gently put them on Xiong Bufan's head. He then sincerely exclaimed, "It looks beautiful. Bufan, you can try wearing some jewelry. It looks really good."

The bodyguards rarely wear jewelry except when they are on special missions. 002 really wants to get rid of his former identity as a bodyguard, as if as long as he gets rid of it, the suffering he once endured will disappear.

Xiong Bufan didn't take it off or hit 002, simply because he didn't sense any malice from 002, and also because he didn't want to fight. The two of them just sat by the stove. When Xiong Bufan got sleepy, he went to sleep on 002's bed. 002 wrapped himself in his blanket and lay on the stove, feeling the slight warmth from the stove so he wouldn't freeze to death.

Halfway through his sleep, Xiong Bufan suddenly remembered that Qiao Yujie hadn't paid him. He couldn't let her sleep in his bed for free, so he got out of bed in the middle of the night, lit a kerosene lamp, and wrote an IOU to Qiao Yujie. One tael of silver was too cheap; ten taels of silver would be enough to buy a very large bed. Xiong Bufan decided to do a good deed and write Qiao Yujie an IOU for five taels of silver.

002, still half-asleep, saw someone enter the room. Upon closer inspection, it was Xiong Bufan. He turned over, stuck his legs into the stove, where the ashes were quite warm, and then closed his eyes to continue sleeping.

Qiao Yujie was sleeping soundly. Xiong Bufan took a kerosene lamp and walked to the bedside, shaking Qiao Yujie, "Get up quickly, you promised to give me five taels of silver."

"Here you go, but let's talk about that tomorrow, I'm really sleepy."

Xiong Bufan took out the IOU. "How about you write something on this?"

"Good~"

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Xiong Bufan grabbed Qiao Yujie's hand and asked her to sign her name. Unfortunately, Qiao Yujie was still half asleep, so Xiong Bufan could only take out a box of rouge and apply it to Qiao Yujie's finger so that she could put her fingerprint on it and he would add the signature tomorrow.

After doing all this, Xiong Bufan wiped his hands on Qiao Yujie's clothes, put the IOU back in his pocket with satisfaction. This little piece of paper was worth five taels of silver, enough to buy a lot of delicious food.

A Niu was found lying in the house during dinner. Lin Lan called the royal physician, but he couldn't find anything wrong. However, A Niu was still in pain all over his body and looked very weak. The physician could only prescribe some nourishing medicine for him to drink for three days and then see how it went.

Lin Lan was very worried about A Niu's injury and the fact that the culprit could not be found. After consulting with Lord Lin, she assigned him several more servants and added more guards to the mansion. This time they could attack the people in the mansion silently, but who knows what they could do silently next time.

Ah Niu certainly wouldn't dare say that Xiong Bufan was the one who hit him; it's not the right time yet, and many things need to be done slowly in the future.

When Qiao Yujie woke up, she found herself lying in bed. Xiong Bufan was nowhere to be seen. She was filled with emotion. Having a fellow villager in another world was truly a lucky thing. When she faced difficulties, she could huddle together with her fellow villager for warmth. There was some rouge on her hand, but Qiao Yujie just assumed that she had accidentally rubbed it on herself while drunk and did not think much of it.

When Xiong Bufan heard that Qiao Yujie had woken up, he excitedly took out the IOU and ran over to collect the debt from her. Qiao Yujie wanted to slap herself for what she had just done. She thought it was better to give up on this fellow villager; he was just a money-grubber and she couldn't afford to support him.

Unfortunately, Xiong Bufan didn't give Qiao Yujie a chance to refuse. If she dared to refuse, Xiong Bufan would beat her without hesitation. For this five taels of silver, Xiong Bufan hadn't slept well, and Qiao Yujie had to take responsibility.

Kongkong: You're extraordinary, can you be reasonable?

Qiao Yujie could only promise to go back and get money for Xiong Bufan, and that she wouldn't owe him any money. Only then did Xiong Bufan obediently run to the kitchen to wait for 002 to cook.
