It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 139

The sun was shining brightly this afternoon.

Li Ru moved a reclining chair under the eaves, basking in the sun lazily, while the maid stood aside, handing over the dried fruits and snacks she wanted to eat at any time.

"Little sister." Li Datou came running: "I have already found you."

Li Ru sat up straight, as straight as a green bamboo in front of the court: "What, do you have the ability, don't find a waste to mock me like last time."

Li Ru has been looking for people who can be used. There are not many people in the Su family who can be called talents. Cheng Dalei broke into the Su family, but no one could stop it, which made her feel the urgency of this matter. Tuo Li Datou searched several times, but it was difficult to find the top people.

"Looks like a capable person this time, but has a bad temper." Li Datou.

If you have the ability, you will have a temper. If you have no ability, you can't have a temper. Those who have both ability and no temper are hard to find in the world.

"Please come in and show me." Li Ru.

Li Datou invited a person in from outside the hospital. From the moment the other party walked into the yard, Li Ru's eyes never left the other party.

He was more than seven feet tall, with a torn leather cap on his head, and a grey leather robe wrapped around his body. It doesn't seem to be out of the ordinary, but a pair of eyes are a bit special, which is scary to look at.

Li Rulai regained his energy and leaned slightly: "What's your name?"

The other party did not answer, and stood motionless in the yard.

Li Ru frowned, a little strange.

Li Datou stepped forward and said, "His name is Gongyangai, and he doesn't like to talk much. He is a hunter outside the city. His parents starved to death, so he came to the city to find a way to survive."

As a master, he doesn't like to talk, and Li Ru is not dissatisfied. She stood up from the reclining chair, walked down the steps, came across to Gong Yangai, pinched his arm, and looked up at him.

An embarrassment flashed in Gong Yang's eyes.

Li Ru suddenly felt a little smug in his heart: "It does have a good body, how old is it?"

"Twenty-two." Gong Yangai only spoke at this time.

"It's just the new year." Li Ru looked down and noticed Gong Yang's feet: "Why are you still wearing straw sandals on this cold day, Tao'er, go get my new shoes and see if they fit? foot."

Gong Yangai was a little embarrassed, and waved her hand awkwardly: "No, no, I..."

"Hey, you'll be mine from now on, so naturally I'll treat you better."

...

Qiao Yeyi is busy as a whole, and it can be said that it is a great achievement to catch Cheng Dalei, and the city owner is ready to ask for it. He dragged Qiao Ye and said words all morning, nothing more than "the pillar of the country", "my tiger general" and so on.

The reward has not yet come down, and it is estimated that it will be indispensable. In the afternoon, I was dragged by a few colleagues and drank a flower wine. During the banquet, I said something: Qiao Jiang has made a great contribution this time, and in the future, don't forget the words of brothers and so on.

Of course, in the end, Qiao Ye is the host. But the money was well spent. It seems that for so many years, it has not been so happy for a long time.

On the moonlight, Qiao Ye reluctantly left the brothel and walked home on a horse.

Normally, he would stay in the brothel by himself. But his third concubine had just added a son, and Qiao Ye regarded it as a treasure in his palm, and he panicked when he didn't see it for a day.

Getting promoted and making a fortune, how did you catch up with Tim Ding? Could it be that I burned incense in the temple years ago and used it again, and I should go to burn incense when the spring begins.

"Fuzi, come and lead the horse."

He yelled at the door, but no one responded. Qiao Ye scolded in his heart: These servants are getting more and more unruly, where are they all dead at this time.

Qiao Ye patted his face and felt that the yard was a little quiet. In the past, the official luck was not smooth, and he couldn't afford too many servants. When the silver reward is down this time, I will buy a few more maids myself.

"Bao'er, Dad's heart is pounding, Dad is back."

Drunk and dizzy, Qiao Ye walked into the third concubine's house and opened his hands to hug his son.

As soon as he opened the door and made progress, Qiao Ye's alcoholism dissipated in an instant. He saw that his family members were all tied up in the house with cloths in their mouths, and several masked strong men held them with bright knives.

Qiao Ye subconsciously grabbed the saber at his waist, but he grabbed it empty, and then he remembered that he was wearing plain clothes when he went to drink flower wine today, and he didn't bring any weapons.

"It's a friend on that road. If you want silver, feel free to speak up, and don't hurt my wife, children, and children." Qiao Ye opened his mouth, thinking about what could be used as a weapon in the house.

"How much money can you get out of General Qiao's account now?"

A bandit turned his head, his face was also covered with black cloth, but for some reason, when he saw his eyes, Qiao Ye felt very sad.

"General Qiao leads the centurion in a virtual position in the city lord. This position is not very oily. Usually, General Qiao still likes to gamble twice, but he loses more and wins less, and he borrows usury loans from big households in the city. Now General Qiao has it in his hands. Ten taels of silver?"

Qiao Ye's heart skipped a beat. His official position in the city was indeed not high. There were many centurions like him in the hands of the city lord. The arrest of Cheng Dalei this time also brought in a lot of pawns who did not belong to him.

"Since you checked it out so clearly, you should know that I have no money. Then why are you still coming to my house?" Qiao Ye didn't look at his wife and children again, but his heart was clenched tightly.

"To be honest, we're not here today to care that Qiao will ask for money, but to give you money."

The leading bandit clapped his palms, and someone pushed out a wooden box. After opening it, there was a lot of silver in it. It is roughly estimated that there are thousands of taels.

"Without merit, I don't dare to take this money." Qiao Ye didn't look good on the book, and stared at the silver in the box a few more times.

"We are here this time because we want to make a deal with General Qiao." The bandit said, "If we promise us, we will give you a thousand taels of silver. If General Qiao doesn't agree, prepare for the end."

The bandit suddenly pulled out his knife and slashed heavily on the table. Several children in the family cried out in fright.

Qiao Ye was shocked, and just as he was about to open his mouth to stop him, he saw the other party looked straight at him with a smile in his eyes.

"Are you from Toad Village?" Qiao Ye suddenly realized something.

"General Qiao is indeed wise!"

"It's impossible for me to let Cheng Dalei go, no matter how much money I have, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't do it."

"General Qiao misunderstood. The owner of my family went on a business trip and was trapped in the Fallen Leaf City. We did not blame General Qiao. It's just that the owner of my family is delicate and can't bear hardships. I also ask General Qiao to do it. Convenient, take care of one or two in prison."

"He is not under my care, even if I want to help you, there is nothing I can do."

"Don't worry, this one thousand taels are for General Qiao, and there is another thousand taels here for General Qiao to manage up and down." After speaking, they pushed out another box.

Qiao Ye sucked in a breath, is Toad Village so rich!
