Chapter 30 Clothes and Beasts
Four people participated in the ambush at Whirlpool Ridge, and all three of them suffered varying degrees of injuries. Only Dong Shiqi was safe, and no trace of being beaten could be found.

"Bah, I just said that you are a pretty boy who only wants to please women. You have no skills. You can't fight, let alone take care of the house. In the banquet house, you seduced Aunt Liu, and after leaving the banquet house, you also curry favor with Qin. Miss."

Lao Zhuang spat, and there was a dull pain in his hanging arm. Everyone had done the same thing, so how could he stay out of it.

"Yes, A Dong, why did she let you go?" Lao Dao looked fiercely, trying to find some clues on Dong Shiqi's face.

If, as Lao Zhuang guessed, Dong Shiqi pleases Miss Qin, maybe Dong Shiqi can be asked to help them intercede and spare them.

You don’t have to give up the money, I just want to spare their lives.

"I followed you to Whirlpool Ridge, but I didn't do anything. I can't fight." Dong Shiqi looked innocent. He clearly went to Whirlpool Ridge, but he picked himself up cleanly, "The eldest lady is a A sensible person will let me go if he knows that I have never harmed her. However, several of you here have been stabbed several times, so if the eldest lady really gives you money, do you dare to ask for it? "

One had two teeth knocked out, one had an arm broken, and one had a layer of skin burned in the iron-making furnace.

Such a cruel and vicious woman, even if she really fulfills her promise and pays them money, will they dare to accept it?

Aren't you afraid that Qin Ruizhi will kill people and silence them?
"What should we do?" Lao Zhuang finally swallowed his hanging breath. Maybe he shouldn't even be here.

"A Dong, what do you think we should do? You make up your mind and we all listen to you." Lao Dao said.

Lu San also expressed his position: "We all listen to you."

Being surrounded by people like this for the first time, Dong Shiqi felt very comfortable. He cleared his throat and was about to express his opinions when a sentence suddenly came out from behind, which almost scared him out of his soul.

"Listen to him, can he keep you alive?"

The four of them trembled at the same time. No matter what they were doing before, they all stood up in unison and greeted Qin Ruizhi respectfully, "Miss!"

"I always keep my promises. Here are 2000 taels of silver notes. You can take them and divide them."

Qin Ruizhi threw out a 2000-tael banknote, but the four people in front of him didn't dare to accept it.

The eyes of the four people met, and finally fell on Dong Shiqi, pushing him out to speak. Dong Shiqi plucked up the courage, "Miss, we don't have to accept cash. Can we...can we follow you?"

"Follow me……"

What an interesting idea. Qin Ruizhi's eyes turned cold and he pulled out the straight knife from his waist, "Why should I accept you?"

Dong Shiqi was so frightened that he took a few steps back, "We all have some skills, we can look after homes and homes, and we can also run errands. Mr. Gao Sheng went to Kyoto to take up a post, and there are always a few errands and home care workers in the house. Only the experts in the hospital can ensure the safety of Gao Mansion."

Afraid that such reasons would not convince Qin Ruizhi, he added: "We don't accept money, so we just treat it as an apology for the mistakes we made before."

This idea is somewhat novel, but unfortunately it is not part of Qin Ruizhi's plan.

Their value is not to become Qin Ruizhi's servants, but to pay the price for their ambush of "Qin Ruizhi" and become a stepping stone for her to return to Beijing.

"Take the business note and go to Guangli Tong to redeem it tomorrow morning, and then divide the money. As for whether you want to work with me, that depends on your luck."

Qin Ruizhi shook the sharp knife, "Do you want me to personally hand the banknotes to you and beg you to take them?"

The meaning of the sword swing was self-evident. Dong Shi walked a few steps, lowered his head, raised his hands above his head, and respectfully took the banknote. He did not forget to thank him, "Thank you, Miss, for your kindness. Miss, you are kind." ."

"Remember, go to Guanglitong Store to redeem the tickets tomorrow morning." Qin Ruizhi put away the knife, said one sentence, and then left without looking back, leaving several people looking at each other.

"Do you really want to exchange money tomorrow?" Lu San came closer to Dong Shiqi, his eyes widened when he looked at the banknotes, "I heard that the Pei family's Guanglitong was also burned, and so much gold and silver were burned. The fire has burned everything, can I still exchange the money tomorrow?"

"Why don't you go today? Widow Wang next door has saved three taels of silver. She heard that there was a fire in Guangli, so she went to redeem the silver early in the morning. She was afraid that she would be late and not be able to redeem the silver."

As Lao Zhuang spoke, he reached out to touch the banknote, but was slapped away by Dong Shiqi, "The eldest lady said that tomorrow is tomorrow, one day earlier or one day later. Brother Dao, do you think so?"

"Then tomorrow. The four of us are staying in the blacksmith shop today, and no one is allowed to leave."

"Cash the ticket!"

"Cash the ticket!"

"Cash the ticket!"

"We want to redeem our votes!"

"Let the Pei family come out and give an explanation!"

Guanglitong's shop has been burnt down to only an empty shelf. The dark beams are hanging there, and they are crumbling, as if a strong wind will blow away all the empty shelves.

But unfortunately today, there happened to be no wind, and the sun was scorching hot, burning in the air.

People stood half a block on the street in front of the door, all holding Guanglitong commercial tickets in their hands, shouting for the Pei family to come out and redeem the tickets.

But Pei Xingheng, the current steward of the Pei family, has not appeared for a long time, which makes the people who redeem the votes feel even more uneasy, and the shouting mood is even higher. They are pushing and shouting, and are about to break through the defense line guarded by the Pei family.

Immediately afterwards, a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding spears and shields came over, struck the shields with their spears, and formed a more impregnable line to block the people who wanted to redeem their votes outside and not allow them to approach.

Qin Ruizhi stood on the street corner and looked from a distance, and recognized the group of well-equipped soldiers as soldiers from Puzhou Zhechong Prefecture.

"New soldiers trained by Zhe Chong Mansion? I didn't expect that the Pei family is really intricate. Everyone has connections. Not only does it lend high-interest debt to the son of the governor's family, but it can also recruit soldiers from Zhe Chong Mansion. I don't know. How much money have you contributed? It’s a pity that I am too greedy. I don’t look down on this three-acre land in Puzhou, so I insist on clinging to Su Yiling and want to go to Kyoto to get a piece of the pie.”

Just as he was sighing, he heard threatening sounds coming from the distance.

"Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way."

Then there was the wailing sound of the long whip being whipped against the flesh.

Following the sound, a carriage loaded with two tall horses was slowly approaching. In front of the carriage stood a young man proudly, crowned with a jade hairpin, wearing a suit of emerald green cloud-marked silk, embroidered with pine, cypress and bamboo, swinging a long stick in his hand. Whip, anyone who stands in the way will be whipped away ruthlessly by him.

"A beast in clothes."

Qin Ruizhi sighed.
