Tongzhuang

A bright light shot over, and I opened my eyes, and it turned out that the sun had already shone through the window lattice.

I rubbed my eyes and was about to stretch when the scene of last night flashed through my mind, my movements froze, and I subconsciously looked around.

——That's right, this is the wing room I lived in yesterday. The coat and the bundle are all there, and everything is fine. I'm on the bed right now, with the quilt still covering my body.Last night's terrible encounter seemed like a bad dream.

I pulled open the front of my shirt abruptly, no... no wound on my chest, nothing.Strange, I clearly remember that he was going to stab me to death with a knife!

It was only when I got dressed that I was sure it wasn't a dream.My hands were sore when I moved them. I looked down, and there were bruises on my wrists from the ropes.It really wasn't a dream, you bastards!

But I can't figure it out.In this way, I should be dead. Why did they show mercy and let me go back?What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?What exactly do you want to do?

In any case, Tongzhuang is not a good place, and my guard has increased to [-] points.

I squeezed the corner of my clothes, the IOU was still there, I was a little relieved, and then boldly opened the door and went out.

There was Zhuang Ding who was guarding outside. When he saw me coming out, he politely led me to the front hall: "Mr. Han hasn't had breakfast yet? This way please." It seemed that I was still a guest of honor, and what happened last night had never happened at all.

I was full of doubts, wanted to question but couldn't speak, so I had to follow him.

The front hall was very quiet, except for a fairy-like figure sitting there.It's Ji Liang!For some reason, I felt a lot more at ease when I saw her, and I couldn't help shouting: "Miss Ji!"

Ji Liang looked at me, and at the same time, my face was hot-I didn't know him before, calling him by his name like that, what should I say next?

Ji Liang's inquiring eyes were also waiting for my next words.

"I, my name is Han Chun..." I forced a smile, but then I wanted to slap myself: what does this mean?Before he showed any displeasure, I hurriedly added, "Miss Ji, are you here alone?... Where are the others?" Strange, yesterday there were obviously a large group of people who wanted to pay, where did they go?Didn't you get up?

"I don't know either." Ji Liang shook his head, there was a trace of doubt between his beautiful brows, "They seem to have left a long time ago."

gone?Did you already get the account?I suddenly remembered what happened last night. Could it be that other people also... "Miss Ji, you... did you sleep well last night?" I asked boldly.

"It's okay. But..." she recalled, "a few boring people harassed me in the middle of the night, and I drove them away." She said lightly.

I was about to continue asking when several Zhuang Ding came in to serve breakfast.After setting the table, they said to Ji Liang: "Master Ji, the owner of the villa is here to invite you."

Ji Liang gave me a friendly look, got up and followed them away.

"Hey..." I also stood up and wanted to follow, but one of them patted my shoulder and sat down: "Mr. Han, please eat." The man smiled with a smile on his face.

I was very worried about Ji Liang, but when I thought about it, she is the hall master of Biyao Palace, she is much more capable than me, what am I?Maybe people will find it ridiculous when they know that I am worried about her!Embarrassment flooded my heart.

The breakfast in Tongzhuang is still hearty, with all kinds of fine dim sum, porridge, side dishes, and a table full of them.This time I am not reserved anymore, my stomach has been empty from last night to today, and I was frightened, I just need to eat to calm my shock!I'm not afraid of poisoning anymore, they can kill me at any time, I'd rather be a dead ghost!

After eating like a wind and cloud, feeling my full stomach, I can't help but think back to everything yesterday.It's so weird, if they were going to kill me, why did they let me go?If they don't intend to embarrass me, why bother to threaten me...

Just as I was thinking, someone came over: "Mr. Han has finished his meal, please come here."

I stood up without saying a word.I'm full of food and refreshed, I want to see what kind of tricks they have in Tongzhuang!

Zhuang Ding led me through a long corridor. Outside the corridor, I saw a few Zhuang Dings with their heads covered and their arms hanging, moving slowly with the support of others, and I heard them say, "Bi The people in Yao Palace are too scary..." "Ji Liang is really not easy to mess with..." I immediately thought that these must be the people who were "driven away" by Miss Ji last night.I imagined them being taught a lesson, and my heart suddenly felt refreshed, hahaha.The stagnation in my heart was swept away, and I was immediately refreshed and walked briskly.

Out of the corridor, through a fragrant garden, to a gorgeous courtyard.There are obviously more Zhuang Ding guards here, and their expressions are alert.

The guide came to the door, drew up the bead curtain, and gestured for me to enter.

I was a little hesitant, but still grabbed the burden and stepped in.

The first time I saw the fat Steward Fan standing aside, the second time I saw the person sitting on the main seat, and that person just happened to glance at me.

——The man was wearing a scarlet coat, and he was very young, about twenty years old, about the same as me.If he is a woman, he must be a cold and beautiful woman.There was a natural arrogance on that feminine and beautiful face, and the eyes that squinted at me from the corners of the eyes were also very contemptuous.

"Is he Han Chun?" He turned to Steward Fan.

"The owner, it's him."

It turns out that he is the owner of Tongzhuang, Qi Feng!I froze for a moment, not knowing how to react.I should have asked for the bill bluntly, or asked loudly about last night, but I couldn't say anything, as if I was overwhelmed by his arrogant attitude.

Qi Feng seemed to hum lightly.Then he didn't speak again.

After a while, a boy came in with a plate containing two ingots of silver.Butler Fan smiled kindly and said, "Mr. Han, the owner said that we can pay back your Piaoxiang Building's debt. Please give me the IOU."

What?real!I couldn't believe my ears for a moment.I stayed for a while, looked at the bank note, and felt that what he said was true, so I tore off the corner of my clothes and carefully took out the IOU.During this process, I felt Qi Feng's more contemptuous eyes, and my face couldn't help but get hot.

——In their eyes, it must be very ridiculous to hide an IOU worth a mere few tens of taels like a treasure.

Steward Fan checked the IOU and said with a pleasant smile, "Then Mr. Han, please take the silver."

I made up my mind, picked up the heavy silver ingots and put them away in my arms, and suddenly found that the two silver ingots were both 50 taels, a total of 100 taels!

"What's wrong?" Butler Fan felt strange.

"This...the amount is wrong, our Piaoxiang Building's account is 71 taels..."

"Isn't there 100 taels here?"

"So it's not right..." 71 is 71, we Piaoxiang Building don't take advantage of others.This is how the old club behaves.

Steward Fan looked at Qi Feng asking for instructions.

Qi Feng glanced at me, and frowned impatiently: "It's the interest."

"...the interest is already in 71 taels." How could our shrewd shopkeeper not include the interest in advance?

Qi Feng seemed to be choking.His face darkened, he gave me a bad look, and then gestured to Steward Fan.

Steward Fan quickly ordered someone to bring in a small scale beam and a sharp file. He picked up a piece of silver ingot and began to peel it. After peeling for a while, we weighed it and then peeled it. After a long time of tossing and sweating profusely, Only then did I give me two pieces of silver, one big and one small, and said with difficulty: "Mr. Han, it's 71 taels in total."

Everyone in the room looked at me like they were looking at a monster.

I took the silver and looked at Qi Feng.It stands to reason that if you want to get the money, you should leave. If you leave, you have to have a few polite words. How should I say it?

Unexpectedly, when Qi Feng saw me looking at him, he raised his chin contemptuously, which meant that I could go out.

I clenched my fists involuntarily, and anger accumulated in my heart.What's so great about the surname Qi?He reneged on his debts everywhere, and he was proud of it!I haven't fucking questioned them about slandering goodness and setting up court last night!

Maybe it was aware of my reaction, Qi Feng looked at me from contempt to sharpness.

Seeing the fierce look in his eyes, my heart skipped a beat.No, this is someone else's territory, and they can kill me at any time, a good guy doesn't suffer from immediate losses.Besides, it was a false alarm last night when the money was about to be obtained, it was better to leave as soon as possible.

I also didn't want to be polite to him, so I turned around and left coldly.

All the way was unimpeded, and I left the gate of Tongzhuang.After going out, I saw that the people from Biyao Palace had just left, and Ji Liang led the team to walk in front. I couldn't help standing still and watching for a while until they disappeared.The rumors are true, Miss Ji is not an ordinary woman, she is not only capable, but also so young, so beautiful, like a heavenly being.

To the west is the way back to Piaoxianglou, and I was thinking about this adventure while walking.There are many strange things in it that I still can't figure out: Why didn't people from previous years get the account?Why did everyone other than me and Ji Liang disappear overnight?Why did Tongzhuang set up a trap to hurt me, but let me go?Why is it so easy for me to get the bill back?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help reaching out to touch the silver taels on my chest, feeling a bit like a dream.

There was a sound of hooves behind him.I subconsciously grasped the front placket where the silver taels were hidden, and turned my head to look.

It's from Tongzhuang.The one at the front, dressed in red and winking, riding a tall horse, with a feminine appearance, is Qi Feng.

I immediately became nervous and almost sweated.Did they go back on their word and come after me?

Qi Feng reined in his horse, looked down at me, his eyes were still contemptuous, and his tone was the same: "Are you willing to come to my Tongzhuang to do something?"

He immediately added, "I won't treat you badly, the monthly payment is ten times what you are now."

I slowly let go of the hand holding the skirt.Tell me to go to Tongzhuang?What's the meaning?I look at the domineering Qi Feng.Either way, there must be nothing good.After thinking about it, I said, "I can only do some chores, Tongzhuang is doing big business, I don't know..."

"Let them teach you," Qi Feng interrupted me indifferently, "Are you so stupid that you can't learn?"

Taught me?teach me what?Teach me to lie to my debts and design harm?Teach me to disregard my sister's reputation and instigate her to cheat in men's rooms?I clenched my fists again, and Qi Feng's tone made me even more angry.I was no match for them alone, so I restrained myself and said, "Thank you, Master Qi, for your kindness. Our shopkeeper has treated me well, and I still want to go back to Piaoxianglou."

Qi Feng's expression was not good, and he snorted: "I don't know how to flatter you." He turned his horse's head and walked away.

I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I hurried all the way to Piaoxiang Tower.
