Fang Yuan looked at the pale face of his playmate from childhood. He shook his head and smiled, "Qingning, how can I betray you? It's not what you think."
"But … she?" Qu Qingning watched Su Li coming slowly, and his face was full of doubts.
"To be exact, Su Li is my companion. So, I pretend to be a waiter in the restaurant. My sister is also taken care of by Su Li. "
Fang Yuan explained roughly and felt helpless. During this period, Fang Ling's food, accommodation and medical expenses were all paid by Su Li. Fang Ling now completely regarded Su Li as her sister. Every time he argued with Su Li, his sister would stand on Su Li's side, which really pissed him off.
"Is that so?"
Qu Qingning was stunned. In his eyes, Su Li had always been the First Miss of a merchant family who was ignorant of worldly affairs. Now it seemed that things were more complicated than he thought.
"How about it? Do you want to help me?" Su Li smiled and said, "I can give you the same or more than what Mrs. Zhu can give you."
Qu Qingning's face darkened and he asked, "I have a group of brothers in the ruined temple. Will you also help them?"
"I don't keep idle people here."
Su Li's first words made Qu Qingning feel cold, but the next words made him extremely shocked.
"However, even if they are sick or disabled, I will cure them and make them healthy. Then, I will teach them skills and help me to do things. What do you think? "
Speaking of this, Qu Qingning was slightly shocked. Mrs. Zhu could give him silver at most, but he had no way to teach them skills to be self-reliant. After all, if his identity as a deserter of Nanjiang Country was exposed, he would be in trouble. How could he contact the officials of Dahan Country?
If Su Li was willing to help, it would be great!
"Miss Su is so straightforward. I will join you!" Qu Qingning nodded without hesitation and then asked cautiously, "Miss, have you long seen that I am not right?"
Su Li smiled meaningfully and said, "I have seen the 'Wu Jin' that you pretend to be."
Qu Qingning's cold sweat suddenly flowed down. It turned out that he had been exposed from the beginning.
Heidan listened to the conversation between the Boss and Su Li and smiled embarrassedly. It was really embarrassing.
"Since you choose to help me, Fang Yuan, you take them to the valley and borrow some money to build more bamboo buildings. Buy the list I gave you as soon as possible. "Su Li took out a bank note of ten thousand taels and handed it to Fang Yuan. Qu Qingning's eyes were shining.
Su Li was so rich that she gave ten thousand taels without hesitation!
Fang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "You really know how to order people around. I won't build a bamboo house this time. Qingning, you build your own residence. I was exhausted last time. "
Qu Qingning waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal. I have a lot of people under my command. It can be built in a few days."
After that, Su Li left the dark alley. She hadn't gone to the Baicao Tang to help today.
Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning first went to the South Street to take all the lackeys, and then turned to the valley.
Looking at the group of little beggars who were as thin as monkeys behind him, Fang Yuan was so angry that he laughed and said, "Qingning, are these the people you mentioned?"
Qu Qingning smiled and immediately came over, rubbed his hands and whispered, "They have been hungry for several days and haven't eaten enough. Anyway, you just got 10,000 taels of silver. Why don't you buy them something to eat first?"
Fang Yuan was speechless and replied, "There are a lot of food in the valley. Let's talk about it there. You are still the same as before. But how did you get involved with these guys? "
Qu Qingning looked slightly serious and talked about his life as a fugitive, "I was injured all over at that time and almost died. These guys would rather starve themselves and go to the Baicao Tang to buy medicine. Mrs. Qi of the Baicao Tang is very kind and saved me little by little. "
Fang Yuan was silent. Compared with him, Qu Qingning was much more miserable.
"Our family has been destroyed. This hatred … I will get revenge sooner or later!" Qu Qingning stopped laughing and his words were full of hatred.
Fang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and didn't speak again.
With a group of hungry little guys, Fang Yuan walked for four hours to reach the valley.
Seeing that the terrain of the valley was so hidden, Qu Qingning was amazed and said, "This place is so hidden. How did you find this place and live here with Su Li? Oh my …"
Qu Qingning began to talk nonsense again. Fang Yuan rolled his eyes at him and emphasized, "And my sister! I didn't find this place. It was Su Li who brought me here. "
Then Fang Yuan went to the newly built cellar to take the raw rice and meat. Then he asked Fang Ling to come out and cook in the kitchen of the newly built small bamboo building. It didn't take long for the food to be cooked.
A group of little beggars sat around the wooden table on the first floor in a row and all of them were wolfing down the food. They were orphans or abandoned when they were born. They had never eaten such delicate rice and meat.
"It's delicious!"
"Can I have another bowl?"
"…"
Fang Ling squinted and looked at the group of beggars eating the food she made. She was so happy that her eyebrows almost flew up and she said, "Of course, I'll go and get it for you!"
Qu Qingning looked at the door for a while and sighed softly. He walked to the step and sat beside Fang Yuan.
"I'm really useless as the eldest brother. I can't even let them have enough to eat. If I didn't meet you this time, I don't know what to do in the future."
Fang Yuan also smiled bitterly. Thinking of all the previous experiences in the South Street, he couldn't calm down.
"In fact, I was almost the same as you. At that time, in order not to be exposed, I set up a stall on the street. Su Li kindly gave me five hundred taels, but it was stolen in a twinkling of an eye. Finally, I lived in the South Street Alley. Ling's virginity was almost stolen. "
When they talked about their respective past, they were both bitter in their hearts. They were obviously young, but they had suffered too much.
"Don't talk about these. I think Su Li is kind and generous. She will be better and better in the future." Qu Qingning rolled his eyes and began to talk nonsense again, "You might as well marry her!"
Fang Yuan's expression was extremely strange when he heard that.
Qu Qingning glanced at the place where Fang Yuan lived on the first floor of the bamboo building. He couldn't help but smile and said, "The layout of your place is really good. Su Li must live on the second floor. I'll go and have a look! "
Then, Qu Qingning was about to get up. Fang Yuan was shocked and quickly pulled him.
Qu Qingning smiled and said, "Why do you pull me? Has your possessiveness reached such a level?"
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes and loosened Qu Qingning's clothes. He snorted and said, "If you are tired of living, then go ahead. Don't blame me for not stopping you."
"Uh …"
Hearing that Fang Yuan's tone was not right, Qu Qingning was curious. Before he asked, Qu Qingning had already explained, "That is … the place where Su Li refined poison."
Su Li?
Refined poison?
Qu Qingning was dumbfounded at once. It was so awkward to put these two words together. How could a person like Su Li refine poison?
Qu Qingning suddenly remembered the inexplicable sense of crisis on the carriage during the day. He trembled and quickly asked, "Fang Yuan, if you and I didn't meet, what would happen to me?"
Fang Yuan glanced at him expressionlessly and said lightly, "Probably … you will be poisoned to death. Even your bones will not be left."
Qu Qingning suddenly became stiff. He gave a hollow laugh. Although Fang Yuan's tone was extremely light, Qu Qingning felt that Fang Yuan was gloating.
Thinking of this, Qu Qingning suddenly remembered something and said in a panic, "Yes! How should I end the matter that I pretended to be Wu Jin? This is troublesome. I have received the deposit from others. "
"Don't ask me. I am just a waiter now." Fang Yuan laughed and said, "Who knows the affairs of the Su Family better than Su Li?"
"She is just a miss of the Su Family. How can she be the opponent of the First Madam?"
Qu Qingning was a little skeptical and had doubts in his heart. Wasn't the First Madam Su Li's biological mother? Why did she use this trick to harm her daughter? Was she not her biological daughter?
With this hesitation, Qu Qingning went to find Su Li.
About four hours later, he came back as a different person. He said cheerfully, "Su Li is really amazing. She can actually think of this method. She is so smart!"
Fang Yuan suddenly rolled his eyes. Who just said that Su Li was not the opponent of the First Madam with a lack of confidence?
"Although Su Li is just a weak woman, we can't compare with her in wisdom and stratagem. You can help her in the future. Don't think of any trick."
Fang Yuan knew his partner's temperament, so he warned him. Qu Qingning gave a hollow laugh and glanced at the second floor of the bamboo house. He was extremely afraid.
Early in the next morning, Su Huanli hurriedly got on the carriage. He even didn't have time to call Li Yin. He heard that someone sent a message that there was something wrong with the business of the cloth shop. He had to go and have a look.
In the middle of the journey, Su Huanli suddenly felt something wrong. He opened the curtain. Before he saw the scenery outside, a black shadow suddenly came behind him and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief!
"Oh! … "
Su Huanli subconsciously breathed twice. Suddenly, he turned his eyes and fainted.
After a long time, Su Huanli woke up slowly. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was tied up and lying on the ground. Even his mouth was gagged. He couldn't make a sound.
"Who on earth tied me up? The Yang Family? The Zhu Family? "
Su Huanli was frightened and regretted that he didn't call Li Yin. If Li Yin was around, how could he be caught?
When Su Huanli was struggling desperately, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside. Su Huanli turned around with difficulty. Then he found that he was in a broken temple, and he was hidden behind the Buddha statue.
He was about to make some noise to attract attention, but the sound outside made him stiff and completely calm.
"Little bastard, I have given you the deposit. Why do you call me here?!"
Su Huanli's pupils shrank. He couldn't be more familiar with the voice. It was his wife, Zhu Yan.
Hahahaha …
There was a burst of laughter in the broken temple. Su Huanli recognized that it was the childe "Wu Jin", a relative of the emperor.
How could they have an intersection?
Why did the madam call him a little bastard?!
"First Madam, I call you here because I have something to ask." Qu Qingning's face was full of greed. He said, "I have inquired about it. Miss Su is an important figure in the Su Family. She owns the Baiwei Building. Her eldest brother is about to become a high-ranking official. I'm really a little scared to cheat such a woman. "
Although he said he was scared, Qu Qingning stretched out his right hand and rubbed it. It was obvious that he wanted to pay more.
Zhu Yan was immediately angry and raised her eyebrows. She said, "Little bastard, don't be shameless! I have given you a thousand taels of silver. Be careful not to choke to death! "
"Oh, First Madam, I'm so scared!" Qu Qingning looked careless and was not afraid at all. He said, "If I tell Lord Su about it and the whole town knows it, First Madam, don't blame me for not keeping my promise. First Madam, you didn't make it clear. You made a mistake first. "
