Chapter 139

It was a sunny afternoon.

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

"Little sister. Li Datou ran over: "I've already helped you find someone." ”

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

Li Ru has been looking for someone 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, and no one could stop her, which made her feel the urgency of this matter. Tuo Li Datou looked for it a few times, but it was difficult to find top figures.

"This time I look like a capable person, and my temper is very bad. "Li Datou.

Only those who have the ability can have a temper, and those who have no ability can not have a temper, and those who have both the ability and the temper are hard to find in the world.

"Ask him to 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 courtyard, Li Ru's eyes never left the other party.

He was more than seven feet tall, with a tattered fur hat buttoned on his head and a gray leather robe wrapped around his body. It doesn't look unusual, but a pair of eyes are a little special, and it's scary to look at.

Li Ru came to his senses and leaned over slightly: "What's your name?"

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

Li Ru frowned, slightly strange.

Li Datou stepped forward and said: "He is called the ram mourning, he doesn't like to talk much, he is a hunter outside the city, his parents are starving to death, and he came to the city to find a way to live." ”

The master doesn't like to talk, and Li Ru is not dissatisfied. She got up from the chaise longue and walked down the steps to the opposite side of the ram, squeezed his arm, and looked up at him.

There was an embarrassment in the ram's mourning eyes, and it flashed away.

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

"Twenty-two. The ram only spoke at this time.

"It's the right year. Li Ru looked down and noticed the ram's mourning feet: "On this cold day, why are you still wearing straw sandals, peach, go and bring my newly made shoes to see if they fit." ”

The ram was a little embarrassed, and waved his hand awkwardly: "No, no, I ......"

"Hey, you'll be my person from now on, and I'll naturally be nice to you. ”

......

Qiao Ye was busy as a whole, and catching Cheng Dalei could be said to be a great achievement, and the city lord was already ready to ask for credit from above. Today, I pulled Qiao Ye to talk all morning, which was nothing more than words like "pillar of the country" and "my tiger general".

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

Of course, in the end, it was Qiao Ye who did the east. But the money was well spent, and it seems that after leading the troops for so many years, it has not been so happy for a long time.

On the willow tops of the moon, Qiao Yecai reluctantly left the Qinglou and rode home on a horse.

If it was normal times, he would stay overnight in the Qinglou. But his third concubine had just added a son, and Qiao Ye regarded it as a treasure in his hand, and he panicked when he didn't see it for a day.

Promoted to make a fortune, how can Tian Ding import this good thing have been caught up by himself. Could it be that he burned incense in the temple a few years ago and used it again, and he should burn incense again when spring begins.

"Fuzi, come and lead the horse. ”

There was a roar at the door, but no one responded. Qiao Ye scolded in his heart: These subordinates are becoming more and more unruly, where are they all dead at this time.

Qiao Ye patted his face, feeling that the courtyard was a little quiet, and he couldn't afford to hire too many servants when his official luck was not good before. When the silver reward comes down this time, I will buy a few more maids.

"Bao'er, Daddy's heart is bumpy, Daddy is back. ”

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

As soon as he pushed the door forward, Qiao Ye's drunkenness disappeared in an instant, and he saw that his family members were tied up in the house, with cloths stuffed in their mouths, and several masked strong men were holding them with bright knives.

Qiao Ye subconsciously grabbed the saber on his waist, but he grabbed it empty, and then he remembered that he was wearing plainclothes when he went to drink flower wine today, and he didn't bring a weapon.

"It's a friend on that road, if you want money, just open your mouth, don't hurt the lives of my wife and children. Qiao Ye spoke, his eyes contemplating the room to see what could be used as a weapon.

"How much silver can be taken out of General Qiao's account now?"

A bandit turned his head, his face was also covered with a black cloth, but somehow, as soon as he saw his eyes, Qiao Ye felt very sad.

"General Qiao is the centurion in the city lord, there is not much oil and water in this position, and General Qiao still likes to gamble twice, but he also loses more and wins less, and also borrows usury from the big families in the city. Now General Qiao can get ten taels of silver in his hand?"

Qiao Ye's heart was excited, his official position in the city was indeed not high, and a centurion like him did not know how many were in the hands of the city lord. This time he caught Cheng Dalei, and he also transferred a lot of soldiers who did not belong to him.

"Now that you've found out so clearly, you should know that I don't have any 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 tightly pinched.

"To tell you the truth, we didn't come today to ask Joe for money, but to send you money. ”

The bandit led by clapped his palms, and someone pushed out a wooden box, and when it was opened, it was filled with white silver, which was roughly estimated to be thousands of taels.

"I don't dare to take this money. Qiao Ye's account was not good-looking, and he stared at the silver in the box a few more times.

"We came this time to make a deal with General Joe. The bandit said: "Promise us, 1,000 taels of silver, if General Qiao doesn't agree, prepare to die." ”

The bandit suddenly drew his knife and slashed it on the table. Several children in the family were so frightened that they cried.

Qiao Ye was excited, and just as he wanted to stop it, he saw the other party smiling and looking straight at him.

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

"General Qiao is really 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 Joe misunderstood. The owner of my village went on a erranded for a while, trapped in Fallen Leaf City, and became a soldier to catch thieves, and we didn't blame General Qiao. It's just that the owner of my family has a delicate body and bones, and he can't endure hardship, so he asked General Qiao to make it convenient and take care of one or two in prison. ”

"He's not under my care, and I can't help you even if I want to. ”

"Don't worry, this thousand taels is for General Qiao, and there are another thousand taels here for General Qiao. As he spoke, they pushed out another box.

Qiao Ye gasped, is Toad Village so rich!
