Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin nodded with a smile, took the water bag and put it in his arms, then touched the little girl's head, and said softly: "Be good at home, brother will bring you some delicious food from the city later .”

Now that money is abundant, when Li Xin returns from delivering goods in the capital, he often brings back some food for the little girl.

The charcoal girl nodded, waved to Li Xin, and ran back to the house in small steps.

Li Xin took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the capital.

Although he doesn't intend to be a charcoal seller all the time, but he is not familiar with the place here right now, and it is very profitable to make this fake animal charcoal now, so Li Xin plans to do it for the winter first, and save some for himself after the spring begins. Money is gone, think about other things.

At this time, the wounds on his hands and legs had already healed, so it only took about an hour to rush to the Deyi Building. The door of the Deyi Building in the morning was still closed. Half a month later, Li Xin was already an acquaintance here, so he walked in without hindrance.

The person who met him was Cui Jiuniang, the shopkeeper of Deyilou.

Li Xin was slightly surprised.

Because he came to sell charcoal in Deyi Building, only this Jiuniang met him a few days ago, and the girl next to Jiuniang, Pinger, came to contact him. Counting the time, he hadn't seen this girl for more than ten days. Nine mothers.

Li Xin just froze for a moment, then hurriedly cupped his hands slightly towards Jiu Niang.

"Meet Sister Cui."

Jiuniang had a smile on her face, but there was a gloomy look between her brows. She smiled lightly at Li Xin and said, "Little Lang is really on time, he comes early every morning."

Li Xin lowered his head and smiled, "Small business is just for making ends meet."

Jiu Niang nodded, and said softly to Li Xin: "Mr. Li, come with me, I have something to tell you."

Li Xin put down the basket on his back, followed Jiu Niang, and walked into the backyard of Deyi Building.

He has entered and exited the Deyi Building more than a dozen times. The previous few times he stopped in the front yard. This time, it was the first time he entered the backyard of the Deyi Building.

Jiu Niang stopped in a warm pavilion in the backyard, and Li Xin stepped in to follow. The fire in the warm pavilion was crimson and warm as spring.

It was still a low table, and two people sat opposite each other.

Jiu Niang poured a cup of tea for Li Xin herself, and sighed softly: "Little Lang, your business with Deyilou may be terminated in the future."

Li Xin was shocked.

The business of Deyilou is currently his most important source of income. If the business of Deyilou is cut off, it will be difficult for him to find another line of business for a while.

Li Xin lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said softly, "Sister Cui allowed me to do this business, but she is not someone who is greedy for small profits. Can I ask why?"

Jiu Niang poured herself a cup of tea, looked Li Xin up and down, and said with a smile: "If Mr. Xiao Lang is an ordinary person, it's okay to give you some charcoal, but Mr. Xiao Lang is not an ordinary person. It won't be easy."

Speaking of this, the graceful woman smiled and said: "To be honest, Mr. Deyi, someone came to Deyilou to say hello to me yesterday and asked me to cut off this business. Therefore, this business can only be cut off."

As soon as Jiuniang said this, Li Xinxin understood it.

It was people from Pingnanhou's Mansion who greeted Deyilou. No wonder the big man at the north gate asked his name many times in the past ten days.

It seems that not only did they not allow themselves to enter Pingnanhou's mansion, they also did not intend to allow themselves to stay in the capital.

Li Xin shook his head, smiled wryly at Jiuniang, "Sister Cui can open such a big store by the Qinhuai River, so it stands to reason that she shouldn't be afraid of anyone in the capital."

In the capital, basically every shop that can open in Shili Qinhuai has a backstage, and the biggest Deyilou among them must have a great owner, so Li Xin asked this question.

Jiuniang smiled irrefutably: "I'm not afraid. It's just that you have to be kind to people in business. You can't offend or you can't offend. Mr. Xiaolang is a smart person, so he should be able to understand the truth of this."

Li Xin sighed, stood up and bowed to Jiu Niang.

"My younger brother understands what Sister Cui means. This matter really shouldn't be difficult for Sister Cui. I will definitely repay the kindness of this half month."

Jiuniang got up to return the salute, with a smile on her face: "Since Mr. Xiaolang called you a sister of the slave family, then sister would take the liberty to ask, what is the relationship between Mr. Xiaolang and the person who greeted you?"

Li Xin's expression remained unchanged, he lowered his head and said, "It doesn't matter."

He hugged Cui Jiuniang.

"If you bother sister any more, I might cause trouble for Deyilou, so I will leave now, little brother."

Jiuniang gave Li Xin a meaningful look, and then said, "Little Lang, please speak lightly, since that person can find Deyilou, it means that someone has been watching you..."

Halfway through Jiuniang's words, Li Xin's expression changed drastically.

He didn't have time to care about other etiquette, he hurriedly hugged Jiuniang, didn't even take the bamboo basket, and ran towards the north gate in a panic.

Since the Pingnanhou Mansion has taken action against him, then...

North Hills Cabin so don't miss out!

Chapter 9 Tall and Short

When Li Xin ran all the way back to the hut at the foot of the North Mountain, the original shabby but warm cabin had disappeared, leaving only a sea of ​​flames.

There is still a lot of charcoal stored in this wooden house, so the burning is extremely vigorous, and the distance of four or five feet around is full of hot red light, which is extraordinarily warm in this winter.

Two big men in thick jackets, one tall and one short, were holding torches and gesticulating towards the burning wooden house.

Outside the fence of the small wooden house, the charcoal seller was curled up on the ground, his face was still a little bruised, apparently he had a conflict with these two men, he was beaten up by these two big men, and the little girl lay on her grandfather, unable to move. choking.

At this moment, the anger in Li Xinxin was no less than that of the burning wooden house.

He was just an ordinary person who was afraid of power. He didn't intend to fight against the Pingnan Hou Mansion. He just wanted to survive in this world...

Li Xin's face was livid, and he walked behind the two strong men holding torches, gritted his teeth and shouted, "What are you guys doing!"

Due to low productivity, it is not easy to build every house. The crime of arson was very serious in ancient times. The so-called murder and arson shows that arson is second only to murder.

Of these two men, the taller one is half a head taller than Li Xin, and the shorter one is just like Li Xin, but compared to the thin Li Xin, they are much stronger. Not surprisingly, Li Xin will definitely not be able to beat them of.

The two men turned around in surprise, and only then did they see the young man behind them, the two of them didn't panic, but threw the torch aside casually, the short man said with a smile: "Didn't you see, the house is being burned. "

Li Xin's face was flushed red with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This house has its own owner, and you burned it so blatantly in broad daylight, aren't you afraid that the government will come and take you!"

The taller man looked Li Xin up and down, and then asked, "You...is Li Xin?"

Li Xin lowered his head and did not answer.

He doesn't know where the bottom line of these two people is. This small wooden house is at the foot of Beishan Mountain, and there is not half a family within a radius of ten miles. , may die here.

Seeing that Li Xin didn't answer, the tall man didn't continue to ask questions, and said calmly, "So that the little brother can know that both of us brothers are servants in the Jingzhao Mansion in the capital, because His Majesty will ask you in a few days." I came to Beishan to hunt, so there is a danger of colleagues coming to clear some places on Beishan. This wooden house is just at the foot of Beishan, and it is easy to hide assassins. After reporting to the Fujun, the Fujun approved and ordered the two of us to burn down this wooden house."

As he said that, the tall man took out a document from his arms and placed it in front of Li Xin, with the big scarlet seal of Jingzhao Mansion clearly stamped on it.

Li Xin was moved, and then he remembered that half a month ago, when those young people were "racing horses" on Desheng Street, they seemed to say that His Majesty is going to hunt in Beishan today, and the location of their wooden house... just happened to be in Beishan .

The people from the Pingnanhou Mansion are really impeccable in their work.
