Crossing the Swordsman: Lin Pingzhi, the Swordsman of Evil

Chapter 552
As the piano sounded, Mrs. Li also sang.

Although Mrs. Li, a mother, is not as beautiful as her precious daughter.But her singing skills are better than her daughter's.

The piece sung by Mrs. Li is "Flowers in the Backyard of Yushu", which is a piece of Nanchen court music.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Chen Shubao, the Empress of the Southern Chen Dynasty, ignored state affairs and spent all day hanging out with his concubine Zhang Lihua in the harem.And this piece of music can be described as the music of subjugation.

However, in such a market place, there are not so many taboos.

At this time, there was a noise outside the door, and a group of people hurried upstairs.

Seeing this group of people, the shopkeeper of the teahouse couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Everyone in the market knows these people, and the leader is nicknamed "Big Teapot".They are gangsters who specialize in collecting "black marks" from banks.

The so-called "black marks" are loan sharks.And these people are thugs who specialize in collection.

Seeing this group of people coming, the shopkeeper of the teahouse hurried forward to stop them.

The shopkeeper of the tea house is also a man of all appearances, he said with a smile: "I don't know what orders you guys have come to my small shop today?" '

The big teapot glanced at him and said: "The shopkeeper Wang has nothing to do with you today. We are here to find those two singers."

Although these people are gangsters on the street, they still have a lot of respect for the shopkeeper of this teahouse, and the thugs behind them don't dare to be violent.

After all, there is no one who can gain a foothold in the capital.

And those who can open their doors to do business in the prosperous places of the capital have official backers.

Generally, these people who live on the street will not easily offend anyone unless it is absolutely necessary.

And the shopkeeper of the teahouse gave the waiter a wink at this moment, and then told him to take Li Xingyao's mother and daughter away quickly.

Seeing them coming, Mrs. Li's mother and daughter were not afraid at all, but relieved.

Then Mrs. Li looked at Lin Pingzhi who was sitting on the side looking at their mother and daughter.

Everything that their mother and daughter have now is given by him. If it were changed before, Mrs. Li would have been terrified if she encountered such a scene.

But now Mrs. Li is from the Jianghu, no longer a lowly actress.She also has the martial arts of Yihua Palace, although she is a bit late in martial arts at this age, and it is difficult to achieve anything, but Yihua Palace's superior martial arts, even if she only learned a little bit.It's enough to abuse these hooligans.

This is the difference between Jianghu people and street ruffians.

These people were specially arranged by Mrs. Li.

On the first day they came to the capital, Mrs. Li took her daughter to the bank to borrow 20 taels of usury.

And the pledge loan is their mother and daughter.

When borrowing money, Mrs. Li deliberately pretended to be stupid. She told the people in the bank that her family of three was going to the capital to seek a living. Her husband died unexpectedly on the way, and she needed some money for funeral expenses to bury her husband.

When the shopkeeper of the bank saw this helpless mother and daughter, he was naturally overjoyed.Especially seeing the looks of the mother and daughter.

So they asked the two of them to borrow a usury loan with themselves as collateral.

Of course, the shopkeeper of the bank took the money so readily, naturally he had a bigger business.

The treasurer of the bank took a fancy to Li Xingyao and Mrs. Li's looks, so he planned to force the poor "lonely and helpless" mother and daughter to sign this tricky contract, and then bought them both home, and then resold them. To the brothel.

After all, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, and the boss of this bank also knows the market very well. Although Li Xingyao is young, but she is born with a fairy appearance and beauty, she is a full-fledged beauty, and she can sing songs. The kiln said at least that it could sell for 1000 taels of silver.It can be sold for the price of a lean horse.

As for Mrs. Li, she is only in her early thirties, and she is not too old.Although her beauty was lost to her own daughter, but with her singing ability, she could sell for a hundred taels of silver in the capital.

None of these people who put black marks on them is a good person.They do basically any business.And as Mrs. Li expected, the manager of the bank had tampered with the loan contract.

Mrs. Li agreed with the bank to pay off the money owed by the bank for a period of five months.

But this unscrupulous shopkeeper deliberately wrote the date as five days.

After all, it is said in this era that "a woman's ignorance is virtue", so apart from the official ladies, few women in this era are literate.

Although Mrs. Li and Li Xingyao could both read and write, neither of them could do anything.

Before coming to the capital, Ren Yingying specially told them that there are many people in the capital, and if they don't want to reveal their identities, then they have to go step by step.Therefore, if it is necessary, it is best to do a fake show.Only in this way, those who pay attention to Lin Pingzhi can't find anything.

Seeing that the arranged person finally came, Mrs. Li winked at her daughter.

And the guys in the teahouse are all low-level people who work part-time, so they dare not offend these debt collectors.After a symbolic stop, he let these people go upstairs.

Seeing these people go upstairs, Li Xingyao put down the harp in his hand, and hugged his mother pretending to be scared.

And those debt collectors quickly surrounded their mother and daughter.

Seeing this scene, Lin Pingzhi sneered, as if watching a play.He wanted to see which show this was about.

If it were normal, these gangsters would already be dead.

But Lin Pingzhi knew the strength of Li Xingyao's mother and daughter. After all, the people in Yihua Palace were not idiots.As for his big disciple, he, as a master, naturally knows it well.

Li Xingyao's talent is not bad, in addition to being by her side for a long time, she practiced martial arts diligently.Now Li Xingyao's strength is not to mention these few debt collectors, even the Songshan thirteen Taibao, I am afraid it will not be so easy to take her down.

And Mrs. Li also pretended to be very scared, and hugged her daughter tightly. She looked at the people surrounding her in horror and said, "Masters, didn't you say that within five months, the little lady will pay off the money owed to you?" ? It's only been five days, why did you come to the door?"

The bastard named Big Teapot said: "Beauty! Who told you that it is five months? The contract you signed stipulated that the principal and interest of 50 taels of silver should be paid within five days. If it is still not clear , take your mother and daughter to repay the debt."

Mrs. Li pretended to be surprised and said: "But the little lady borrowed 20 taels of silver from the gentlemen. How come it has become 50 taels in just five days?"

And the shopkeeper of this teahouse can be regarded as a benevolent person, he stepped forward at this time, wanting to rescue Li Xingyao's mother and daughter, he said: "Yes, 50 taels of silver for five days, isn't that a bit much?"

Seeing shopkeeper Wang wanting to meddle in his own business, the gangster named Big Teapot took out the usury IOU owed by Li Xingyao's mother and daughter from his arms, and handed it to shopkeeper Wang.

The big teapot is well aware of Shopkeeper Wang's protection of their mother and daughter. These people have been watching their mother and daughter for the past few days.

This mother and daughter duo are his cash cow and cornucopia.The shopkeeper Wang naturally paid more attention to the two of them.
