Chapter 16 Surrender of life

Surname Ji ......

Li Xin raised his head and glanced at the seventh prince, he naturally knew that the surname of the Great Jin Dynasty was the surname Ji, and since the surname of this seventh prince of Ji was Ji, then at least it was also a clan, and it might even be a prince.

But what Li Xin is thinking about now is not the identity of the seventh prince, but thinking that this is the seventh prince, not the eighth prince......

Thinking of this, Li Xin coughed slightly, put aside the serious thoughts in his mind, looked up at the seventh prince, and said softly: "Seventh prince...... Is it royalty? ”

The seventh son, dressed in white, smiled silently.

After thinking for a while, Li Xin took out the document of Jingzhao Mansion from his sleeve, handed it over, and said: "Seventh Prince, the life of the next family will be entrusted to Seventh Prince." ”

This document is the only thing that Li Xin can threaten Jingzhao Mansion, without this document, Jingzhao Mansion can kill Li Xin as much as he wants, and he handed over this document is no different from handing over his net worth and life.

The seventh prince smiled freely, stretched out his hand to take the document, then put it into his sleeve, reached out and patted Li Xin's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Originally, I said that you were thoughtful, but you and I have only known each other for half an hour, and you handed over such an important thing to me, so you are not afraid that I will sell you backhanded?" ”

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "If there is no external force, even if this thing is in my hands, it may not be able to reach His Majesty. ”

In ancient times, the distance between the people and the officials was like a chasm, for example, a fart like Li Xin would never even see the county once in his life, let alone go to the government to beat the drum like in the TV series, and he could see Lord Yin Bao of Kaifeng Mansion.

In fact, a yamen like Jingzhao Mansion is a very large yamen, even if ordinary people go to Jingzhao Mansion to file a lawsuit, there will be a special person responsible for handling it, and it is basically impossible to see Lord Jingzhao Yin.

In other words, if you don't have a way, Jingzhao Mansion is the ceiling that ordinary people can reach, and people like Li Xin are not even qualified to reach this ceiling, let alone reach higher-level bigwigs.

Therefore, this "criminal evidence" of Jingzhao Mansion actually does not have much effect in his hands, because he has no chance to hand this document into the hands of a higher-level person, this seventh prince, his conversation temperament is quite extraordinary, and he must have an amazing energy to be able to open a big business like a proud building by the Qinhuai River.

Therefore, Li Xin chose to take a gamble.

The seventh prince glanced at Li Xin again, and said with a smile: "Not only is it strategic, but also brave, it's not simple, you are three or four points similar to Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan." ”

Li Xin bowed his head slightly and did not speak.

In fact, he was still a little scared in his heart, after all, even in his previous life, he was just a senior white-collar worker, and he had never been in contact with this kind of power circle at all.

In this world, the most beautiful thing is power, but power is also the most dangerous, as long as you get a little closer to him, you may lose your life inexplicably.

By now, he had to pin his hopes on the head of the seventh prince he had just met.

Seeing that Li Xin didn't speak, the seventh prince was not angry, but just smiled indifferently: "It's rare that you can afford this son, don't worry, even if it is for your trust, this son will try his best to handle this matter for you." ”

Li Xin bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Childe." ”

The seventh prince was about to walk out of this small courtyard with his hands behind his back, and as soon as he took a step, Li Xin suddenly opened his mouth and called him.

"Seventh son, stay ......"

The Seventh Prince looked back in amazement.

Li Xin stretched out his finger and pointed to the skewers of mutton that were eaten next to him, coughed, and then said: "Seventh Prince, these meat skewers are planned to be sold tomorrow, and the livelihood of Zai and his two families depends on this meat skewers, and now you have eaten them all,... How should I express it appropriately? ”

The Seventh Prince turned his head and looked at Li Xin with a gaze like a neuropath.

I'm here to rescue him, but this guy is asking for money from himself?

However, because of his face, the seventh prince still took off a string of hanging jade hanging from his waist, as the meal of this "mutton skewer", although this jade pendant is not a top product, but since it can be kept in the hand of the seventh prince, it is naturally not a bargain.

Li Xin stuffed this jade pendant into his sleeve with a smile on his face.

The seventh prince shook his head and left the small courtyard a little helplessly.

After the seventh prince left, Li Xin fell silent, and he looked down at the jade pendant he had extorted from the seventh prince in his hand, according to the seventh prince's statement. This piece of vermilion jade pendant, which looks inconspicuous, can be exchanged for at least 100 yuan.

Li Xin held this jade pendant in his hand and muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Hope you're really as valuable as he says you are......"

The reason why Li Xin was cheeky to ask the seventh prince for money was naturally not just for any humor, in fact, he was already preparing to run away, and now the trajectory of things has greatly exceeded his expectations, and he doesn't know what the capital will be like in the next moment.

Therefore, he has a little idea of escaping from the capital, after all, with his ability, as long as he finds a place where there are people, he will not starve to death, and there is no need to stay in the capital with a dead face.

With this thought, it is natural to prepare some entanglements, and this jade pendant extorted from the seventh prince is the entanglement that Li Xin ran away.

Thinking of this, Li Xin looked at the half leg of mutton left in the yard.

After his conversation with the Seventh Prince, it is obvious that the business of going out to sell mutton skewers cannot be done, maybe at this time, the person from the Tianmu Prison is still asking for himself everywhere, and if he goes out to "do business" again, he will be throwing himself into the net.

He returned to the charcoal fire, cut off pieces of meat from the leg of lamb with a knife, and skewered them on top of bamboo skewers.

Then he beckoned into the room.

"Girl, come out and eat lamb skewers."

The charcoal girl in a cotton dress ran out excitedly, sat opposite Li Xin obediently, and looked at the mutton skewers in Li Xin's hand.

Although she took a bunch just now, she only ate one bite of that bunch, and fed the rest to her grandfather.

After Li Xin skewered two skewers, he put them on a charcoal fire and roasted them, and after a while, the aroma overflowed.

The little girl swallowed her saliva and looked up at Li Xin pitifully.

Li Xin stretched out his hand and touched the girl's head, and said with a smile: "Little glutton, it hasn't been roasted yet, don't worry, these meats will be roasted for you tonight." ”

Since you can't go out to do business, then there is no point in leaving this leg of mutton, it is better to roast it all and beat the tooth sacrifice.

The little girl wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, reached out and took a string of raw mutton, followed Li Xin's example, put it on the charcoal and roasted, and after a while, the meat skewers were full of aroma.

The little girl's eyes widened, and she looked at the meat skewers on the charcoal fire tightly, and she was reluctant to take her eyes off for a moment.
