Chapter 62 The Robber Who Suspects Little Money
In Yulin Lane, Bianliang, a young man in a light blue robe bought a few oranges at the entrance of the alley and carried them in his hand in a cloth bag. These oranges should have been transported from the south. This fruit cannot be grown in the north. No wonder the price was so high.
For the Xingxingmen, money has never been something they need to consider, but Luohe is an exception. He always doesn't like to go to the Xingmen where he takes the "salary" and borrows it when he has no money and writes an IOU. Only when he is familiar with people will he get the money and wait for the creditor to come to collect the debt.
However, he could borrow 50,000 or 60,000 taels a year, and he would pay less than one tenth of the money he would spend. When he asked someone to borrow money, the other party often threw a pile of silver notes on his face.
He had a friend who lived with her childhood sweetheart. Both of them were killed. Although they were not married, they were no different from ordinary couples. Once, a friend kept him for dinner. Luo He saw that they were angry with a silver note of 1,000 taels, and a thick stack of them piled up in the corner. When two or three were thrown into the fire, he didn't blink.
They usually spend some money on buying vegetables, food, clothing and food, and their lives are tight and seem very poor. He was a little amused at that time.
Luo He asked them why they wanted to do this, even if they didn’t, they didn’t need to do this!
My friend told him that there was too much money. Every year they would exchange their savings for silver notes to get angry, leaving some broken silver to survive. In this way, they would have a taste of living.
Luo He scolded him for wasting his resources, and righteously took the stack of silver notes beside the stove door into his arms. Then, his friend happily invited him to drink his own rice wine.
He used IOU to remember others, and also hoped that the other party could remember himself. After his death, someone might chat one day.
"Hey! I remember that boy from Luohe still owed me five thousand taels of silver."
"What's the point? Those kids owe me 30,000 taels, but they don't pay it back. Every time they borrow money, they only write IOUs."
"Is that right? Then you can't just let it go. Let's go and ask him to pay back the money."
People are creatures that live in the memory of others. If one day no one in the world remembers you anymore, even if someone sees your tombstone, he will not know who you are. Then you have really disappeared from this world and been wiped out in the long river of history.
The Lin family looked no different from usual. The last time I came here to wander around, I was wearing Liu Damazi's face. A maid who returned home was so scared that she was so scared that she was urinating.
This time, his appearance was much more handsome. The handsome young man with a very elegant facial features was very upright, as if he had carefully calculated and installed it in the most perfect position, but there was always a trace of evil at the corners of his mouth and eyes. This man had a bad mind.
He also has a name in the Killing Gate, called "Thousand Faces Langjun". In the basement of a private house in Hanjiang City, countless faces were hung on dense shelves. Each one was written next to it with a detailed introduction to the owner of the face. It was his lifelong collection, but the young master had restrained him. He had not had a new collection for several years. Unless there was a special demand for the task, he could show his perfect skills.
But at this moment, he did not have any "decoration". This was his face, but he hadn't seen people with his true face for too long. Even when he saw himself in the mirror, he subconsciously touched his ears, wondering if this was his exquisite "collection".
There was nothing outside the mansion. He planned to touch it in at night and ask someone to "ask" what was the reason why he was suddenly attacked.
The golden crow hung in the sky for a day and slowly flew towards Fusang in the west. The heaven pulled a black cloth and covered the sky with a sudden light, so the lights on the earth were lit.
Luohe changed his outfit and heard the second update knock from the street outside, so he opened the door and headed towards East Yulin. It was still the hour of Hai (9 pm). There were still pedestrians on the street. Some places had already started to close their stalls. They were open during the day and did not want to have noodle shops and tramplings. They would do business until the early morning or even all night.
He dressed in a warrior, but he would not attract too much attention.
After reaching a remote courtyard wall, after confirming that there was no one around, he took a little step back, pointed his toes on the wall, and crossed the wall feather at an extremely fast speed, landing like a light woven. He leaned against the wall and hid in the darkness.
At this time, there were still many places in the Lin Mansion with candlelight, but it was almost impossible to find the servants who were traveling through the courtyard, and most of them were tidying up in the room to fall asleep.
He walked along the path into a garden. According to the drawings in his memory, this garden was a must-pass place leading to the west wing of the backyard, and it depends on whether he could catch the lonely birds.
He hid behind a rockery, waited for about a quarter of an hour before he heard footsteps.
After the vanilla reviewed the account book for the past two days, it was already a little late. Seeing that the lights were still on in the study, I remembered the wife’s instructions and cooked a bowl of ginseng soup and brought it over.
He saw the housekeeper again in the study. For some reason, the man always looked at him with a strange look, which was a sign that she couldn't read.
She walked very fast, and she was still afraid of walking on the night by herself by playing lanterns. Yue'er's girl was not there, otherwise she wouldn't have to go back to the west wing and just go to her to squeeze in.
Thinking of this, she felt a gust of wind on her back. One hand around her waist and instantly hugged her tightly to the back. Before she could call for help, she was covered by her other hand. In desperation, she quickly threw the lantern out, hoping that the fire of the lantern's spontaneous combustion could attract people's attention.
However, the man raised his toes gently at the bottom of the flying lantern and grabbed the hand at his waist steadily.
From taking abduct to struggling, it was only a matter of a few breaths. When he returned to the back of the rockery, Luohe threw the lantern on the ground and stepped on the candlestick in it.
The man's warm breath came from Vanilla's ears, his heart seemed to fall into an ice cellar, his body trembled, and tears suddenly surged out.
"Hey! I don't have sex. You only need to answer my questions. I promise not to hurt you." His voice was low, with a hint of charm. This was the young master's home. Unless it was an enemy, he would not be able to kill people at will.
"I'm slowly letting go of the hand above. If you want to run away, your head may not be able to be saved." He pulled out a dagger from the bottom of his hand, pressed it against her neck, and wiped the tears from the back of his hand on her shoulder.
"If you ask for money, I can give it to you. I am usually frugal and save a lot." Luo He did not completely limit her hand. Vanilla wiped away the tears on her face with her left hand, and her voice gradually became stable. Obviously, she ignored what he said before and regarded him as a robber.
"Oh! How much money do you have?" He suddenly became playful, how much money can a maid have.
"Five thousand taels."
"Five thousand taels?"
"I still have a lot of jewelry, which are given to me by my wife, and can also be worth a lot of money. If you think it's not enough, I can give it to you." Vanilla thought he thought it was too little, so she added hurriedly.
Luohe doesn't think it's too little! He is not the "silly" who uses silver notes as anger. If she says five hundred taels, Luohe will feel that it's too much. In fact, vanilla does not have that much money, but the second young master always seems to have the habit of giving silver notes to her and Xiaoyue. He gave it to his wife, and the wife asked her to keep it, so she has always kept it in her own box.
"I don't want your money either. Where is your second wife Liu Ruxue?" Luo He seemed to be distracted by her. He wasted a lot of time. He didn't usually do this, so what happened today?
"Second Madam? She went to the south with Butler Wu and left two days ago." She didn't like Liu Ruxue, and always stumbling to her wife. Since this person was causing trouble for her, she would not have any psychological burden.
"Two days ago?" Yes, it was the day he was attacked. After that, he changed places and broke off contact with the people in the sect, so he naturally didn't know about this.
"So are there anything in the mansion worthy of special attention or strangeness these days?"
"Special? Not..."
"Ah! A housekeeper came to the mansion. He was mysterious all day long. We all knew that his surname was Li, and they all called him Housekeeper Li, a middle-aged man." The housekeeper was not a good person at first sight, and it seemed that it was nothing to drag him into the water! Vanilla did not say that the housekeeper was often with the master, so that he would not involve Lin Hai.
"Where does that Butler Li live?"
...
"The east wing passes through the two courtyard gates and the room on the right side." She hesitated for a while. After all, if she said it, maybe the Butler Li would die and always feel uneasy.
"What you said is true and what are false? Well?" Luo He leaned into her ear and whispered softly. Her words were so calm that he lost his judgment. No one who had fallen into his hands in the past was not fearful, but she was not calm and abnormal.
In fact, the abnormal thing is that he was not normal. In the past, when he always liked to ask questions, he used a knife to put some blood on the other person's neck, face, ears, and other sensitive places, and kept putting psychological pressure on the other person. It would be strange if others were not afraid. The dagger on the vanilla neck had never moved since just now.
The moon was bright, and he resisted the urge to put the other person's earlobe in his mouth, and instantly turned the dagger and hit the other person's neck. Vanilla fell into his arms like a pool of water.
Luo He carried her to the depths of the rockery and gently placed her on the grass. With the moonlight, she was so dim and could not see anything. The previous words should be the truth. He was not sure about the last sentence, most of which were true and false. This girl was a little clever. She could tell from the decisiveness of throwing the lanterns at the beginning. Then he just searched all the nearby rooms.
He sighed, what's wrong with him? His heart was moved by the female sex, which was ridiculous. He had seen a woman who was even more beautiful than her. When he peeled off the other person's face, the knife in his hand would not even shake. It must be that the drug's properties had not been completely removed, so it must be.
Is Butler Li? It seems that he really wants to visit. If this person is the same, he has to visit the young master's biological father. He vaguely feels that there is some secret behind this, at least worth his adventure.
When he left, Luo He walked away a hairpin on her head and stuffed it into his arms as if nothing had happened. Yes, he took it as a good person. Maybe it would be worth some money. Yes, he deceived himself in his heart.
