Chapter 252 Did I let you go?
When the man placed the pillar in place of the flag, the whole city burst into fierce applause, cheers, and shouts. For a moment, it was as if the city came alive.
Li Xinran walked slowly and leisurely from the other side of the ring. The man's lips had turned white, and the sweat on his forehead fell one by one like raindrops.
She walked up to the man and looked at him with admiration: "Well done, can you still hold it?"
The man trembled and stared at her, his lips turned white, but the determination in his eyes did not change at all: "Yes!" He stretched out his trembling hand.
Li Xinran smiled, stretched out his hand and pressed it down. The man shook, and the look on his face became unbelievable, even desperate. He had been holding on to his body without falling, and now he looked shaky. It was shaking, as if it was about to fall over.The whispers of the people around him exploded in an instant, and a buzz surrounded the two people in the crowd.
"Don't hold it. I'll have someone follow you and send it back. I want to reward you, not harm you." Li Xinran seemed to have not heard what those people were saying, and said with a smile, then turned around and followed The guard said, "Bring the things over and let this little brother check their authenticity."
The soldier took a step forward holding the cloth bag. The man looked at the soldier holding the cloth bag, and the light in his eyes ignited again. He stabilized his figure, stepped forward, opened the cloth bag, and saw the golden gold ingots in the sunset. The refracted sunlight seemed to blind his eyes. He picked up the gold ingot with trembling hands, put it into his mouth and took a bite, leaving deep tooth marks embedded in the gold ingot.
He smiled, smiled and cried. A 1.8-meter strong man burst into tears in front of the crowd. Li Xinran didn't know why, but just looked at him indifferently and cried bitterly. At this time, a guard squeezed in. , whispered something to Li Xinran, Li Xinran's expression did not change much, but her eyes immediately became sharp.
But she didn't act rashly, she just signaled the crowd to be quiet, not to disturb this person, and waited for him to calm down.
The man cried for nearly a cup of tea before he slowly stopped. He raised his head and his eyes had turned into rabbits from crying. Li Xinran pursed her lips before suppressing the smile that was about to appear: "Are you feeling better?" she asked with concern.
The man nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "I lost my temper. Thank you for your understanding."
Li Xinran chuckled softly: "Hey, there are no obstacles in life. It's over. You should be exhausted now. Should you rest, or should I have someone accompany you to send these back?"
"No need," the man said in a deep voice, looking past Li Xinran and looking behind her, "Where are Mr. Yao going?"
Li Xinran turned around without surprise and looked at the group of dandies surrounded by soldiers.
Mr. Yao's face was green and white, and he held his waist tightly: "What are you doing!" He looked at Li Xinran again, "General Li! My father is a general judge, and other young masters' families should not be underestimated. You are stopping us. , What’s your intention!”
Li Xinran raised her eyebrows slightly, then fanned her hands and spit out two words: "It really stinks."
Mr. Yao's face immediately turned red: "Li Xinran!"
Li Xinran didn't pay any attention to his jumping, and just turned to look at the man: "What do you want to do, go ahead."
The man glanced at Li Xinran in surprise. It could be seen from her performance that she had already known what he might do to stop those dudes in advance.
The man glanced at Li Xinran gratefully, then his face darkened, and he walked over aggressively.
Young Master Yao looked at the murderous man and was so scared that his legs were weak. They were dudes, not fools. They were the best at sizing up the situation. Those who bullied them every day were the ones they were very sure they could bully. However, none of them did it. I thought that Li Xinran would appear halfway, but I really didn't expect that person to actually move the pillar.
Seeing the man getting closer and closer, Mr. Yao asked in a trembling voice: "You, you, you, what do you want to do!" The man stood in front of Mr. Yao, and the 1.8-meter-long black man pressed straight towards Mr. Yao. When I went, I saw him raising his hand.
Mr. Yao yelled in fright and raised his hand to block it, but unexpectedly the pain did not appear. He raised his head and found that the man had taken a bag of gold from the guard beside him and handed it to Mr. Yao. In front of me, he said angrily:
"You said that my father owes you 1 taels, but I asked you clearly. It's only 3000 taels. The exchange ratio of gold and silver is one to five. If you give more to you, it will be regarded as helping him pay off part of the interest and part of the debt. And then there is If you owe money, go to him and stop hitting my sister's attention!"
Mr. Yao was in a daze. This was the first time in so many years that he had seen such a stupid person. He clearly had someone backing him but he didn't beat him up. Instead, he wanted to give him money.
Mr. Yao was happy. He hit the folding fan and became energetic and straightened up. He opened his mouth and said: "That can't be done. If you say it's very profitable, it's very profitable. Anything less won't do. I'll go find him." , do you understand filial piety? What your father owes is what you owe!"
After saying that, he glanced sideways at the bag containing gold in front of the man, and snorted softly: "Don't say I bullied you, just take the market price. You have paid me back five thousand. If you give me that bag again, I will give it to you." If you wipe the account, I won’t accept your sister Xiaodie either, how about that?”
The man was silent for a moment, then murmured: "Can you, I can keep a tablet for myself. My mother is sick and needs to buy medicine."
Mr. Yao sneered and waved the folding fan in his hand three times: "It's none of my business when your mother is sick, but you dare to bargain for my money. But..." He looked up and down, and said with a smile, "If you How about if your sister marries me, I'll let you take a piece of ingot to save people?"
The man's hands clenched at his sides, and the surrounding onlookers were also filled with indignation. Some people boldly said: "Sir, you should be a very high official. Can you save him?"
"Yes, if you say a word, Mr. Yao will never dare to rape Xiaodie again."
"Just open your mouth."
"..."
Many people opened their mouths to persuade, but when they saw that Li Xinran was indifferent, some people began to complain secretly: "What kind of official are you talking about? They don't help when they see injustice."
"He also said that he wanted to recruit talents from all over the world. If he is so protected by officials, I'm afraid he wants to take away and kill all the capable people among us."
"Recruiting talents is just nonsense. This bullshit selection is not as good as promoting filial piety and honesty!"
"Shut up!" Li Xinran scolded everyone with sharp eyes, "It is a capital offense to speak ill of the Holy One!"
The crowd fell silent, but one after another’s eyes showed dissatisfaction.
Mr. Yao sneered and said in a loud voice: "Don't get excited, everyone. General Li is not the kind of person who refuses to save anyone. It's a pity. It's natural to pay back debts. Not to mention that she represents the Holy One, even the Holy One is standing here. You have to admit this truth, right?”
The other dudes all responded: "Yes, yes."
Mr. Yao glanced at the common people who dared not speak, said a cold "ha", and looked at Li Xinran sideways: "General Li said, am I right in what I said?"
Li Xinran's expression didn't change at all, she looked at him, nodded and said, "Yes, repaying debts is a matter of course."
Mr. Yao threw his head back and laughed, released his grip on the young man's hand, and said loudly: "Go and get the 'young master's money' back!" He enunciated the words particularly clearly and with an accent.
The man looked humiliated as he watched Young Master Yao's servant walk up to the guard and take away all the two bags of gold. The guard was as motionless as two statues, and his eyes were red again.
Mr. Yao looked at the two large packages of gold that the boy brought to him. He was so happy that he could not see his eyes. The dandies around him also congratulated him.
"Congratulations to Brother Yao. You won 2000 taels of gold without any effort."
"Brother Yao needs a treat."
"Please, please, tonight at Baihualou, we will not return until we are drunk!" Mr. Yao announced loudly, holding two large bags of gold with great satisfaction and preparing to leave. Seeing that the matter had come to an end, the people around him gradually dispersed. .
But just when Mr. Yao turned around, he heard Li Xinran's voice from behind: "Stop!"
Everyone looked back at Li Xinran and saw that she still looked calm, but her tone was full of contempt: "Did I let you go?"
