Chapter 140

  Choosing between silver and steel knives is not a very difficult question.

  Moreover, Qiao Ye is indeed short of money at present, and it's not too difficult to take care of Cheng Da Lei in prison.

  Several bandits stood up, and the leader said: "Farewell, General Qiao. The road to Jianghu is long. We'll talk again another day."

  It seems that's all for now, and they didn't harm their own family members. Qiao Ye suddenly asked: "Aren't you afraid that after you leave, I'll go back on my word and swallow the silver without doing anything?"

  That bandit smiled and said, "There's a saying that there are no thousand-day thieves, only thousand-day preventers. If Commander Qiao takes the money and doesn't do anything, next time we come knocking, we'll have to take something away."

  What should I take away? Arms, ears, eyes, legs... or the head of my newborn son. Qiao Ye suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and his body involuntarily shuddered.

  "Let's go!"

  Several bandits swaggered away as soon as they left, Qiao Ye immediately rushed over and untied the ropes on his family members.

  "Are you all okay? Where's Bao'er? Is Bao'er injured?"

  "Master, fortunately you're back, we were scared to death."

  The house was filled with wailing and crying sounds.

  Qiao Ye examined everyone's condition and found that the most serious injury was just a scratch, and his precious son was safe and sound.

  He finally let out a long sigh of relief.

  "What happened today, no one is allowed to talk about it outside, got it?" Qiao Ye's tiger eyes swept over each person.

  As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes fell on the two trunks, and the white silver coins made people's eyes dizzy. Qiao Ye suddenly felt that today's experience might not be a bad thing after all.

  Liu Bei took his men and left the Qiao family, turning several streets to see that no one was following them before returning to the bottom of the lake.

  More and more people came back, within these few days, there were about a hundred people from the Toad Village who infiltrated into the Fallen Leaf City.

  Everyone was divided into several groups lurking in the city. Every night, the leaders of each family gathered at the bottom of the lake to share their intelligence.

  "Today, several brothers deliberately made trouble and were caught by the government soldiers and taken to the big prison to take care of the master." - Gao Fei Hu.

  "In that case, the master will not be helpless in prison." Liu said: "The money has been sent to Qiao Ye, he will naturally take care of it after receiving the money, and the master should not suffer."

  Zhang Fei took out a rough map: "I've checked the surroundings of the prison, and since Da Dangjia was caught, there are more troops outside. It's not very realistic to rescue him from the prison, unless they transfer Da Dangjia somewhere else and we take action on the way. The worry is that they will execute Da Dangjia on the spot."

  "It's not impossible that the master of the house would do such a thing." Xu Shenji sighed and continued, "Today, I've already bribed the prison head, according to him, the master is being held in solitary confinement with special treatment, he hasn't been tortured yet, and he has promised to take care of the master."

  To ensure the safety of Cheng Da Lei, it is naturally impossible to rely solely on Qiao Ye. In fact, in the past few days, a large amount of silver has been spent in Hamao Village, and many more people have been bought over with big sticks and sweet dates.

  "How much silver do we have left?" Liu Bei asked.

  "......Not much left." Xū Shénjī shook his head helplessly.

  Lack of money is the reality nowadays, it's not that the Toad Village is so poor that they can't even afford to cook a meal, it's just that there is no silver and no convenient universal currency.

  The village of Hama has several tens of thousands of kilograms of rice, but doing such things, it's also impossible to drag a few hundred kilograms of rice around everywhere.

  "Right, today when I saw that prison head, I heard a message from his mouth, it seems like someone is still pulling strings..." Xu Shenji.

  ……

  The one who was hitting the wall was Li Ru. On the one hand, he was trying every means to save Cheng Da Lei, while on the other hand, he was trying every means to make Cheng Da Lei die in prison.

  These days, she has been busy with this matter. However, in the process, she vaguely found that when she handed out money, those people seemed to be afraid to accept it.

  What's going on, when did these vampires become so clean?

  Today, Li Ru decided to personally meet the lord of Luoyecity and must make Da Lei die in prison.

  "Madam, Miss has arrived?" A servant came over.

  "Miss, which miss?"

  "Big... Su Ying." The servant suddenly realized that Su Ying was no longer the young lady of the Su family.

  Li Ruyu's gaze swept across the servant's face, but it was enough to make him feel uneasy. She also wondered: What did Su Qian come to see her for at this moment?

  "Let her wait for me in the main hall." Li Ru said after a moment of thought.

  Su Ying and Xiao Die waited for a long time before Li Ru came in from outside.

  "Ying'er, I've been thinking about you a lot. You're making me want to find you and have a talk with you, just the two of us girls. Although your father doesn't acknowledge you as his daughter, I've always treated you like my own flesh and blood. But you won't come visit me, and it's not right for me to go apologize to you." Li Ru said as soon as she came in.

  "Is it interesting?" Su Ying asked.

  Li Ru's facial expression suddenly froze, both of them were wearing mourning clothes, and in the instant their eyes met, the needle was pointing at the wheat awn.

  Li Ru lifted up her teacup and slightly lowered her head.

  "What's the matter?"

  "I don't want the Su family's property, I just want a sum of silver."

  "At first your father drove you out, this family has no place for you, where can you talk about inheritance?"

  "My father gave all of the Su family's property to me before he died, and an old servant in our household has already told me about this. My father left a will during his lifetime, which should now be in your hands. I have come today not to divide up the property, but to give up all of the Su family's property, for just one sum of silver."

  Li Ru's face turned gloomy, and she wondered which bastard had told Su Qian about this. She paused for a moment before saying, "The wine house is also part of the Su family's assets."

  "I can give up."

  "How much do you want?"

  "Ten thousand two?"

  "No."

  "Eight thousand?"

  Li Ru shook his head.

  "Five thousand."

  Li Ru continued shaking his head.

  "The Su family's fields, their properties in town, and the business that comes and goes on the docks are still not worth 5,000 taels of silver."

  "It doesn't matter if you have it or not, it's none of your business." Li Ru smiled: "At most three thousand."

  Su Ying stared at Li Ru: "Good!"

  "Talk is cheap."

  "Take the written word as evidence."

  Li Ru ordered someone to bring paper and pen, and on the spot, let Su Qian write a written statement, declaring his willingness to give up his family property.

  "Silver?"

  "You help me make a receipt, three thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, you can't take it away, I'll let the servant send it to you."

  "Suzi wrote a receipt for Li Ru, in exchange for an IOU written by Li Ru himself. She gritted her teeth: 'Man proposes, heaven disposes, if you don't deliver the silver, beware of heaven collecting from you.'"

  "Don't worry, heaven hasn't taken this bandit's woman yet, proving that even heaven can be blind sometimes." Li said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't take your three thousand taels."

  "Little Butterfly, let's go!"

  Su Ying stood up and left with a flick of her sleeve. Li Ru picked up the documents on the table, read them carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
