Early the next morning, the five people will continue on their way.

As soon as they came downstairs, three people came over.The one in the front is a middle-aged man, and the two younger ones in the back are holding many things in their hands.

The middle-aged man came over, greeted Jiang Li and Yu Zhulin with a smile, and spoke to Jiang Li and Yu Zhulin.

"Excuse me, does the girl know my young master? We are from the Qi family."

"Qi Fulin?"

Jiang Li asked, and the middle-aged man nodded quickly.

"Exactly. This girl is the friend my young master mentioned, right? Are you leaving Suzhou City today?"

"That's right. What's the matter?"

"The younger one is the housekeeper of Qi Mansion. My young master asked me to bring some gifts and deliver them here this morning. He said you are leaving today, but he may still be drunk, so let us deliver the gifts first. Wait until the girl comes again Suzhou City, let’s all gather together again.”

After listening to the butler's words, Jiang Li understood.

When I was drinking and eating with the three dandies yesterday, Qi Fulin did go out. When he came back, he just said that he had ordered food again. I didn't expect that he had this intention.

At that time, Jiang Li just said that he would leave tomorrow and which inn he would stay at, so Qi Fulin could think of someone to send something over in advance.He is indeed a playboy who interacts with people every day.

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't speak, the butler waved to the two people behind him to bring the gifts.

"Please don't refuse, girl. These gifts are just specialties from Suzhou City and are not precious. The three young masters all put some away. This is the wish of the three young masters."

"Okay, I'll take it. Go back and tell your three young masters that I will tell them a story the next time I come back."

"Okay. Where are your carriages? I'll send someone to deliver the gifts."

"Come with us, we'll leave right away."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he led a few people over.

The gifts were put on the car and the three of them were about to leave. Jiang Lizao took out two taels of silver and said he would give them wine. After all, he had brought something to wait for him early in the morning.

The butler declined, accepted the money, and left.

Yuzhulin looked at the gifts and asked Jiang Li again.

"Is this what you call a one-time relationship? It's too good for you."

"Those three are pretty good."

"Can we see what's inside?"

He Qingfeng asked again, and Jiang Li nodded. She was also a little curious.So, the five people opened everything and looked at it.

Three pieces of fine cloth, two Suzhou embroidery fans, a box of ginseng, a box of Ganoderma lucidum, some golden sore medicine and blood-activating and pain-relieving plaster, a whole ham, two jars of wine, a box of Biluochun, and some Suzhou cakes.

Shi Qingjue and Tieniu smelled the jar of wine, while Yu Zhulin picked up the fan and looked at it.

He Qingfeng asked Jiang Li.

"What do these friends of yours do?"

"I didn't ask. There's no need to ask that between us."

"Judging from these things, they should be cloth merchants, pharmacies, and restaurants."

Shi Qingjue said this, and Jiang Li thought about it for a moment.

"There is indeed one restaurant, the one I went to eat at yesterday, Yixiaolou. I don't know about the others."

"Your friend is very thoughtful and has both gold sore medicine and plaster."

"It just so happens that everyone is still injured, so take it and use it. Eat the pastries on the way, and use the ham as a backup dry food. I will put away the rest."

"Can you let go?"

Tieniu asked Jiang Li, who nodded.

"These things are still okay."

After collecting their things, they were ready to continue on their way.

The carriages were driven in shifts, with Shi Qingjue driving the carriage in front, and the other four people sitting in the carriage.

In the car, Yu Zhulin was eating cakes and asked Jiang Li again.

"What did you do before? How come you still know such a rich man and know that the Prime Minister's Mansion has magical weapons."

"This, let's talk about it later when we have a chance."

"Why are you still waiting for the opportunity?"

"Because it's hard to talk about my past. Although you think I'm good, it's not ingrained yet. I want to wait until we get to know each other very well, and then after talking about it, you will think that although her previous career was not very good, He’s a good guy after all, so we can accept it.”

After hearing what Jiang Li said, He Qingfeng opened the fan to fan himself.

"It just makes us want to know more."

"We'll talk to her later."

Shi Qingjue's voice came from the front.

Just when He Qingfeng was about to say something more, the carriage suddenly stopped.

He stuck his head out from the curtain and asked Shi Qingjue.

"Why did you stop suddenly?"

"There's someone ahead."

After hearing this, several people poked their heads out from the curtain and looked ahead.

There were indeed some people gathered in front of them at this time. Although they were not many, they still couldn't see very carefully.

So, Jiang Li, Shi Qingjue and He Qingfeng all got out of the car, while the other two people stood in the car and looked ahead.

There are three people there now, two of them look very aggressive and have fierce faces, one has a big beard, one has no beard, and one looks to be from a poor family, carrying a bundle of firewood.

The bearded man was pointing at the broken porcelain on the ground and talking to him.

"Are you going to pay for the porcelain I bought for ten taels?"

"It was obviously you two who bumped into each other, how come I bumped into you?"

"Shall we hit you with this valuable thing?"

The one without a beard said the same thing.

At this time, someone in the crowd started to talk.

"I just saw that the old man's firewood hit someone else's porcelain, and he still didn't admit it."

The sound gradually became louder and Jiang Li could hear it, let alone the old man.

At this time, the bearded man pointed at the people over there and said to the old man.

"So many people have testified for me, do you still want to cheat?"

The old man didn't know what to do for a while and collapsed on the ground.

Someone in the crowd said it again.

"You should sue the officials. This old man is just relying on his old age and refusing to admit it. Then we will go and testify for you."

Such a voice also sounded, and the old man knew that he had to pay the money.

"Is this blackmail?"

Jiang Li asked Shi Qingjue in a low voice, and Shi Qingjue nodded.

"It happens all the time."

"Shall we help that old man?"

"How can you, a man in the world of rivers and lakes, refuse to save him even if he is dead? Take out all your money."

Shi Qingjue said this to several people, and they started to pay and then chipped in.

One person can take out ten taels of money, but this is a group after all, and one person should not be allowed to take it.

Tieniu couldn't get the money, but he suddenly said.

"It doesn't seem like we need to take the money anymore."

When the four people heard this, they looked at the crowd again.

A man dressed as a scholar came into the crowd and was administering justice.

"Are you blackmailing people? How many pieces of porcelain can there be?"

The beardless one laughed.

"Is it your turn to talk here? I just bought it from Rongbaozhai over there. If you don't believe me, come with me and ask."

"But do you think this old man looks like he can take out the money? How dare you two grown men bully an old man?"

"Then you pay?"

The bearded man said something so excited that the scholar couldn't help it.

"I'll pay, I'll pay! Isn't it just ten taels of silver?" As the scholar spoke, he took out the money from his pocket.

When the old man saw this, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the scholar.

"It's a great kindness that I will never forget."

Seeing this scene, Shi Qingjue's brows suddenly frowned.

He Qingfeng saw this and asked him.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"I'm worried it's getting bigger."

"What? Didn't this help him lose money?"

Jiang Li was also a little strange. Although she also felt a little inconsistent, she was generally a normal good person and good deeds.

Shi Qingjue shook his head.

"This development is the same as a case my father mentioned before. The two porcelain dealers asked for 20 taels first, and then one person came out to help pay the money. Someone else said that the old man should leave an IOU, and the old man also said the same, and the scholar agreed The old man didn't know how to read, so the scholar wrote it by himself, and the old man pressed his fingerprints. But there was something wrong with the IOU. In one month, the compound interest amounted to 500 taels. At 20 taels, the old man's total money was only a dozen taels, so it was enough to sell some things. , but for 500 taels, the old man can only pay for the cow, the land, and the daughter."

After hearing this, Jiang Li swallowed his saliva.This kind of blackmail is really disgusting and insidious.

Yuzhulin asked Shi Qingjue again.

"Are you sure?"

"I also hope not. The case my dad mentioned was in another place, Zhe County. And the group was finally surrounded and suppressed by an agent named Qu Sangen."

"Qu San Geng...the current leader of the Six Doors?"

He Qingfeng was very impressed by this name.He was originally just a police officer, but after solving a serial murder case involving 20 years ago, he rose through the ranks and solved countless cases. Now he is the chief catcher of six doors.

Shi Qingjue nodded and said again.

"I hope I'm wrong."

But it didn't.

Someone in the crowd had already begun to encourage the old man to write an IOU. The old man was also trying to persuade the scholar, but the scholar still refused.

Without saying a word, Jiang Li was about to rush forward, but suddenly stopped.

She could no longer do something like this that would involve her companions. She had to at least ask. If they were unwilling to intervene, it would be too late for her to withdraw and take care of it.

Jiang Li asked Shi Qingjue.

"Doesn't matter?"

"Do you still deserve to enter the world no matter what?"

Everyone else was also waiting for Shi Qingjue's words. As soon as he finished speaking, the five people took action immediately.

The paper and pen over there had been taken out, but they were knocked away by a flash of light. The paper and pen fell to the ground, and the pen broke into two pieces.

"who?"

The bearded man immediately looked around and saw only five people walking over.

"We just came here to ask some questions."

Shi Qingjue said this, walked over, and at the same time pulled out the four-foot long sword hanging on his waist.

The two people also felt that this group of people was not easy to mess with, so they did not move.

Shi Qingjue went over and asked the old man.

"Old man, do you have land at home?"

"Yes, there are still five acres of paddy fields."

"Do you have a daughter?"

"Yes, just 14 years old."

Shi Qingjue looked back at the two people.

At this time, the scholar planned to run away secretly, but was also stopped by Tieniu.

Shi Qingjue walked up to the two people.

"Friends, I don't need to say more about what you are doing, right? With two taels of silver, can this matter be settled?"

"Who do you think you are? Just because you hold a sword, you think we are afraid of you?"

Obviously, these people are not satisfied with two taels of silver.

When this game is completed, it can be sold for more than 200 taels of silver, which is a hundred times less.How could they just let it go?
The bearded man and the bearded man each pulled out a dagger.

"If you keep meddling in other people's business, don't blame me for being rude."

Shi Qingjue smiled.

Immediately afterwards, a sword was placed on the neck of the beardless man, and the blade in He Qingfan's fan was also pointed at the throat of another man.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the crowd dispersed to prevent themselves from being hurt, and only three people remained.

These three people also had daggers in their hands. It was obvious that they were also accomplices and had just been responsible for controlling public opinion in the crowd.

The old man didn't know what was going on for a while, and quickly asked Yuzhu Lin.

"Guys, what are you doing? Don't risk blood for me. I still have eight taels of silver at home, and it will be enough to sell some more things. Everyone, please put down your knives."

"You are stupid, they are after your fields and your daughter."

Jiang Li said to him.

The bearded guy over there quits.

"What did you say? You are slandering us! What evidence do you have?"

evidence?These five people really can’t come up with it.In fact, if Shi Qingjue hadn't heard of similar things, no one would have guessed that this matter might develop like this.

The scholar hasn't written down the deceptive IOU yet, the sale of the girl hasn't happened yet, and they don't have a single piece of evidence on hand.
Just when Shi Qingjue was thinking about whether to stop first and think about his ideas slowly, he heard Jiang Li talking to Tieniu again.

"Tieniu, break that scholar's fingers off. If he doesn't tell the truth, just keep talking."

Before the scholar could react, his finger had been broken by Tieniu.But Tieniu didn't seem to have any intention of asking, and just planned to continue folding.

The second one was also broken, and the scholar finally found time to talk.

"I say! I say! We have indeed been staring at that old man for a long time. This time we just want to..."

"To shut up!"

The bearded man shouted at him.

After shouting, the bearded man said to Shi Qingjue again.

"Friend, cutting off a person's wealth is equivalent to killing his parents."

"But I don't care, my conscience can't bear it."

"Don't really think we are afraid of you! There are six of us and you only have five!"

The bearded man said again, and He Qingfeng shook his head.

"One, the scholar's fingers are broken and cannot be beaten. Two, your lives are still in our hands. Three, ten are not enough for us to fight."

These people understood He Qingfeng's words after taking two breaths.

After sending them to the gate of the government office, the five of them continued on their way.

Soon, they arrived at a forest.Jiang Li was driving in front and talking to the people behind him.

"Boss, how long do you think they can be detained?"

"You'll be out before sunset."

"What do you mean?"

"It is impossible for such a gangster to be so majestic without someone from the yamen."

Shi Qingjue said this, but Jiang Li suddenly stopped the car.

She said to the back.

"Boss, I think there's more than just the Yamen behind them. It might be a gang."

"what happened?"

Shi Qingjue poked his head out from the curtain and saw that dozens of people had blocked the carriage in front with weapons and were spreading out to surround them.

Everyone got out of the car and looked back to back at the crowd.

The six people they had just sent to the government were also in the crowd, with fierce eyes.

A man who must be the boss walked out of the crowd and spoke to the five people.

"Destroying a person's wealth is equivalent to killing his parents. We must avenge the murder of our father."

It's beautiful under the bustling city.The conflicting plot in it is very clever, and it was used as a trigger to provoke the protagonist group.Highly recommend Under Fancheng
