Chapter 239
"Not enough? What do you mean?"

Li Xin frowned.

"The big beggar said it was 800 taels, I won't remember it wrong!"

Xu Zhu immediately panicked.

"Originally, Binger's ransom money was fixed. This number is correct, but a guest has already made a reservation, and he will come to accompany Binger tonight, so this..."

Sangu still looked embarrassed, but held the banknote tightly in her hand.

"Don't engage in such roundabouts, just speak clearly."

Li Xin said a little impatiently.

"The guest offered 300 taels to cover Bing'er for the second night. Not long ago, he sent someone to give a deposit of 100 taels of silver."

Sangu saw it poorly, and the meaning was very clear, 800 taels was not enough, and another 300 taels had to be added, otherwise, she would have to wait for Binger to accompany the guest before she could redeem herself.

"You, how can you do this?"

Just now Xu Zhu thought that Sangu was a nice person, he was very considerate of the girls in Fenglai Building, but he didn't expect that when the topic changed, he only recognized money.

"Little master, I can't do anything about it. This is a brothel. I open the door to do business. Otherwise, I'm breaking the rules! I only charge you 300 taels more, and I have to make amends to the customers later on."

The third aunt seems to have suffered a loss.

"Okay, I'll pay 300 taels."

As Li Xin said, he reached into his bosom again and took out the bank note.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Xuzhu, Bing'er still has some private money, I will make up for the 300 taels myself."

Then Binger spoke.

When she came out, she was already carrying a bundle in her hand. At this moment, she took out a small box from it. After opening it, there were some jewelry, bank notes, ingots, and some scattered silver.

Li Xin took a rough look, and it was about three or four hundred.

For a wealthy man, three or four hundred taels of savings, neither too much nor too little, depends on who he compares with.

"Bing'er, this is your own hard-earned money, are you really willing?"

Bing'er counted 300 taels and handed it to Sangu, who took it and asked.

After all, if she doesn't take it out, she can spend it herself in the future. Anyway, Li Xin is ready to help advance the payment.

"There's nothing to be reluctant to part with. When I first started saving money, it was to redeem myself. It's a pity that I don't have the skills. It took four years to save these..."

Bing'er's thinking is actually the thinking of most Qing people.

It's just that those who really earn the ransom money are rare.

Bing'er is a fair girl around 20 years old, minus four years, that is to say, she started to pick up guests when she was fifteen or sixteen.

Xu Zhu suddenly had a sore nose, his eyes were red, he stepped forward and grabbed her hands, and said affectionately: "Miss Bing'er, I will take care of you in the future, and I won't let you suffer any more."

"Thank you Mr. Xu Zhu."

Bing'er owed her thanks.

"It's easy to find a priceless treasure, but it's rare to have a lover, Bing'er, you are blessed!"

The third aunt put away all the bank notes and congratulated with a smile.

"What about the bond of sale?"

Li Xin looked at her.

"It's already ready, how can I forget this."

Sangu took out the deed paper from her cuff and handed it to Li Xin.

Li Xin took it and scanned it, confirmed it was correct, and handed it to Xu Zhu.

"Thank you, brother."

Xu Zhu took the deed paper, he didn't know what to do, he handed it to Bing'er foolishly.

Bing'er was both moved and funny, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "My lord, you should put away the deed."

"Huh? I, okay."

Xu Zhu is inexperienced, so he listened to Bing'er, carefully folded the deed paper and put it in his bosom.

"It's done, let's go."

Li Xin was the first to turn around and walk out.

Xu Zhu looked at Bing'er, Bing'er simply bid farewell to her maid, and followed Li Xin together with Xu Zhu.

Soon the three of them walked out of the gate of Fenglai Building and were about to return when they happened to see a young man rushing here aggressively with two attendants.

The young master saw Bing'er at a glance, quickened his pace and came towards him, and called out halfway: "Miss Bing'er, I heard that someone is going to redeem your body for you? Tonight I ordered you to accompany me, and I paid the deposit. Feng Lai Lou If you want to deceive customers, you will not succeed!"

"Miss Bing'er is no longer from Fenglailou, she won't accompany you!"

Xu Zhu immediately stood in front of Bing'er, confronting the comer.

"You are the one who redeemed Miss Bing'er?"

The man saw that Xu Zhu's temperament did not match the new clothes, so he looked down on him.

"Jiang Biwen, don't you dare to block the way without seeing who is in front of you? Get out of here."

Li Xin said suddenly from the side.

He didn't expect that this incident was a bit of a coincidence. The so-called guest who wanted to book Binger for the second night was none other than Jiang Biwen.

The Jiang family where this person lives is a rice shop business in the town, and Jia's mansion is behind it.

When Li Xin accompanied Bai Zhantang to come here, he wanted to meet Ruyan, so he had some quarrels with Jiang Biwen.

"You... Li Xin from Yihonglou!"

Jiang Biwen also recognized Li Xinlai.

He immediately put on a displeased face, sneered provocatively and said: "You are a mere owner of a teahouse in the east street, dare to ask me to get out? I think you should get out!"

There is also a chain of contempt in Qixia Town. West Street is generally richer, followed by South Street. People will despise East Street and North Street.

"Junior Brother, this Young Master Jiang has spoken disrespectfully to me, Senior Brother, and has unreasonable thoughts about Miss Bing'er, what do you think should I do?"

Li Xin took the opportunity to train Xu Zhu.

"I, shall I persuade them to leave?"

Xu Zhu has seen Li Xin's ruthlessness.

For Li Qiushui, who is a senior, when they met for the first time without any hatred or resentment, they directly crippled her two legs and helped Tianshan Child Elder to kill her.

Xu Zhu doesn't like fighting and killing, he wants to convince people with reasoning.

"Persuade? Okay, it's up to you."

Li Xin smiled and stepped back to the side.

In Jiang Biwen's eyes, this action directly angered him.

"What do you mean by the surname Li? Call a follower to deal with me? What is his identity, what is my identity!"

Immediately, Jiang Biwen waved his hand and ordered the two followers: "Break his legs for me! See if he dares to be someone else's dog!"

Although Xu Zhu is well dressed, Jiang Biwen has decided that he is just Li Xin's follower.

"Yes!"

Jiang Biwen's two attendants are tall and burly, one on the left and the other on the right are going towards Xu Zhu.

"If you have something to say, why do you have to do it?"

Xu Zhu waved his hands to persuade him, he wanted to retreat, but he thought that Bing'er was behind him.

When he turned his head, he met Binger's worried eyes.

This made his heart tremble suddenly, and he thought to himself: I promised her just now that I would take care of her so that she would not suffer, but now I make her worry about me, I really deserve to die!
Thinking of this, he turned around and his eyes changed.

"Don't force me again!"

he growled.

In the ears of Jiang Biwen and his two followers, it was his bluff and timidity.

"So what if I force you?"

"Haha, beat him down!"

The two attendants spoke one sentence at a time, and punched Xu Zhu one after another.

Xu Zhu frowned, gritted his teeth and pushed out two palms, the second strike came first, two "bang bang" hit the chest of the two opponents, causing them to vomit blood and fly backwards, they fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

This time, the passers-by who paid attention to this place on the street were surprised. Some people even thought that someone had died, and screamed in the street.

"You, you wait!"

Jiang Biwen was even more shocked, he didn't expect that Li Xin's follower was a practicing family man, and it seemed that his martial arts were not low.

There are more and more Jianghu warriors in Qixia Town, and his Jiang family is not very afraid because they are backed by the Jia family, especially in the town.

He thought that no quack would dare to be arrogant, but he didn't expect to bump into Xu Zhu, a stunned young man.

So he could only leave behind a scene and fled in panic.

He didn't care about the two unconscious followers.

"I, did I kill someone?"

Xu Zhu couldn't notice Jiang Biwen anymore, he looked down at his hands at this moment, a little at a loss.

"They didn't die, they were just seriously injured and comatose, and they were saved."

Li Xin put his hand on his shoulders, and said calmly: "These two are Jiang Biwen's followers, they usually do bad things, and they attacked you first just now, but you just forced a counterattack, you can't control your skills as you like, and you accidentally hurt them." People don't blame you at all, and if you don't take action, how can you protect Miss Bing'er?"

As Li Xin spoke, he quietly performed the "Dafa of Soul Removal".

Xu Zhu was gradually comforted, he looked at the strange look in Binger's eyes, he was a little admiring in surprise, he nodded and said: "Thank you for your persuasion, brother, I understand, in order to better protect Binger, I will I will practice harder."

"Ah, what's the matter? Did someone die?"

At this time, Sangu walked out of the Fenglai building and saw two people lying outside the door, both alive and dead with blood stains left, she knew that the matter had become serious.

"Don't worry, these two people are not dead yet. Just now, Jiang Biwen instigated two followers to act fiercely, trying to kill my junior brother and take Miss Bing'er. Fortunately, my junior brother has learned martial arts, so I protected myself from hurting them. This matter will never cause any trouble." Fenglailou, whether it is the government or the Jiang family, let them come to my junior brother."

Li Xin pointed to Xu Zhu, smiled and concluded the matter.

"what?"

Sangu didn't expect that Xu Zhu could know martial arts, and it was him who did it.

As for Li Xin's "junior brother", she doesn't need to delve into it.

"This is my responsibility."

Xu Zhu nodded his head, and said with a serious expression.

"Young Master Xu Zhu..."

Seeing that he resisted this matter, Bing'er was worried again.

But the mood is different from before.

The relationship between her and Xu Zhu is not equal, she wants to find someone to rely on, not true love.

But after seeing Xu Zhu displaying his kung fu, she felt a little admiration for the strong, and she became more throbbing.

"It's okay, Miss Bing'er, I will definitely take care of the matter."

Xu Zhu held her hand, smiled softly.

"Well, Bing'er trusts the young master."

Bing'er also responded affectionately.

There are skills and truth in it.

Li Xin saw that it was almost done, so he threw another silver coin to Sangu, and said, "Trouble Sangu, find someone to take them away and send them to the hospital, so that no one is really killed. If any arresters come over later, just say Lai Yi The Red Chamber is looking for Mr. Xu Zhu."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for his reply, he called Xu Zhu and Bing'er to leave.

As soon as they left, people on the street pointed and started gossiping.

"Unexpectedly, Bing'er really found a good support."

Sangu looked at their backs, and began to reassess Li Xin and Xu Zhu in her heart.

……

Back in Yihong Building, Li Xin didn't arrange a room for Bing'er, but let her and Xu Zhu live in a room on purpose.

Xu Zhu was happy in his heart, but on his face he kept saying "I can't do it", duplicity, he started to learn to lie.

Bing'er took the initiative to persuade Xu Zhu and gave him the steps, so he "reluctantly" agreed.

Li Xin personally sent the two of them upstairs, and looked at the environment of Xu Zhu's room.

Therefore, it is in doubt: "I lent you 800 taels of silver to let you accept Miss Bing'er. My other buddies saw it, and I'm afraid I feel aggrieved, but who told you that you are my junior brother! There is a difference between closeness! After a while, I will pay you to arrange a single-family home for you, and now you and Miss Binger feel wronged and live here temporarily."

"Thank you brother, I am very grateful to you for being able to have a place to live with Bing'er, I can't let you spend any more money, I will find a way to pay back the money as soon as possible, and I can buy a house by myself in the future."

Xu Zhu felt very sorry, and didn't want to keep taking advantage of Li Xin.

And in his eyes, this room is big enough and comfortable enough, it is many times better than he slept on a hard bed with a dozen people in Shaolin Temple.

Even letting him live here with Binger for the rest of his life, he felt very content.

"Okay! You are indeed a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect! Senior Wu Yazi has not misunderstood someone. Senior brother, you want to support yourself, how can a senior brother not support you!"

"But the money can be paid back slowly, and Miss Bing'er is a woman, so you have to help her consider some necessities."

Li Xin's various emphatic hints, even without the use of "The Great Law of Soul Removal", are enough to influence Xu Zhu and deepen his sense of belonging to the identity of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Speaking later, he took out 200 taels of silver bills, handed them to Xu Zhu and said: "Take these, help Miss Bing'er to buy a bedding, some new clothes, rouge and gouache and so on."

"Thank you, brother."

Xu Zhu hesitated a little, then reached out to take it.

"Have a good time in the future."

Li Xin patted him on the shoulder, and wanted to say a few more words, but saw Chai Jiu running upstairs.

"The head of the house, there are arresters coming to the door!"

As Chai Jiu spoke, he secretly looked at Binger.

Li Xin is right in saying one thing, some staffs are jealous of Xu Zhu.

For example, Chai Jiu, he doesn't know Xu Zhu's identity and ability, he only knows that Li Xin paid for him to go to Fenglai Building to have fun, and also paid for him to redeem him.

Bing'er looks so beautiful, Chai Jiu is really jealous.

Although he occasionally went to the brothel to have fun, but he always went to the relatively cheap Baihualou.

How can I enjoy such a beautiful one, and I am still a nobleman.

"Brother, is the policeman here to look for me?"

Xu Zhu didn't notice that Chai Jiu was peeping, because he was a little panicked.

Government power is inherently oppressive to civilians.

Whether he is a Shaolin disciple or a Xiaoyao Sect disciple, he is still a commoner to put it bluntly.

"It's okay, let's go down and have a look together."

Li Xin was calm and relaxed, even Lou Zhi County respected him three points, so he was afraid of being arrested.

The reason why he took the matter to Xu Zhu is to continue to train him.

"Bing'er, you stay here first, brother and I will go down and have a look."

Xu Zhu said to Bing'er.

"Young master, let's go, I'll wait for you here."

Bing'er said obediently.

Chai Jiu felt jealous again.

"Walk."

Li Xin brought Xu Zhu downstairs.

Sure enough, I saw a few arresters, followed by the first three.

Two are new faces, plus a Zhanhong Ling.

Zhan Hongya?
Li Xin was a little surprised, and had guesses about the identities of the other two.
