Chapter 257 When the Cannon Fodder Prime Minister is Discovered in Man's Clothing (18)
Sui Yu was about to thank him for his kind reminder when she suddenly heard a violent shout:
"Hu Laosan, get out here!"
At the same time, there was a loud noise of the door being kicked open.
Xia Mochi frowned, and he and Chu Yinci stood on either side of Sui Yu, blocking her in front and looking at the men who rushed in.
The one walking in front was a playboy dressed in brocade clothes. He had an arrogant look on his face and walked in with a wild smile. But when he saw Xia Mochi with a dark face, he suddenly stopped.
His gaze continued to fall on Sui Hao and the others, and he muttered to himself.
Seeing this, Xia Mochi naturally knew that he had recognized his identity. He raised his eyebrows and looked at him without saying a word.
Hu Laosan took two steps forward, his face full of caution, but his tone was still humble. "What do you want from me, Young Master Wang Liu?"
There is no way, they rely on these people for their livelihood, and if they can't fight them, they can only surrender.
Wang Liu was concerned about Xia Mochi and the others, so he finally listened to his father muttering about slaughtering the fat sheep, for fear of scaring them away.
As a result, his tone towards Hu Laosan, the untouchable whom he looked down upon, became much better.
"Did you go to my house to ask for money?" Wang Liu sat on the stool brought by the servant and kicked the servant who was about to lie down for him to step on, but he didn't.
Hu Laosan was stunned. "Yes, Mr. Wang was kind and gave me one tael of silver."
Although this time we were helping the Liu family move goods, the one in charge was from the Wang family. Therefore, according to the rules, the compensation should be paid by the Wang family.
He begged and pleaded for a long time at the door of the Wang family, and finally when people gradually gathered, he got a tael of silver thrown by the Wang family's housekeeper through the crack of the side door.
In fact, this amount of money is not enough to treat the injury, but since he can get it from the Wang family, he has no choice but to accept it. Even if it is a small amount, it can last for a while.
But... for just one or two taels of silver, why did the Sixth Young Master of the Wang Family come again to ask for more information, and brought so many people with him?
Wang Liu waved his folding fan, acting very romantic and suave. "Send the silver back to my house with great fanfare, and compensate me three times as much."
Not only Hu Laosan, but even Sui Hao and the others were stunned by these words, "Why?"
Sui Hao put his hands on his shoulders, his face full of confusion. "If I remember correctly, you should have compensated him, right? Putting aside the fact that he was sent away with just one ounce of silver, what law requires you to return three times the amount to your family?"
Wang Liu looked Sui Hao up and down. Seeing how young he was and Xia Mochi beside him didn't say anything, he couldn't help but mock him, "You little kid, you haven't even grown all your hair yet, you definitely don't know."
"What status does my Wang family hold in Ningguang? He actually blocked my door and demanded payment. Isn't this a blatant humiliation? I'm already being merciful by asking him to pay three times as much."
"You can ask your brother, every deal we make is worth hundreds or even thousands of taels, how could we be humiliated like this?"
Sui Hao's face was filled with black lines, and he clearly didn't understand the logic behind his words. However, he still didn't forget to correct the most obvious mistake, "That's called naked."
"Why do you care about me? This is a matter between me and Hu Lao San. I'm warning you not to meddle in other people's business." Wang Liu leaned back in his chair and looked very arrogant.
Suddenly a light laugh broke the tense atmosphere, and Sui Hao's intention to curse back was instantly dispelled.
Chu Yinci understood and stepped aside almost at the same time as Xia Mochi, so that Sui Yu, who was blocking the way behind them, could see more clearly what the arrogant man looked like.
Wang Liu looked at them with anger, but when Sui Yu showed up, his eyes, which were almost bulging out, widened even more noticeably, as if they would fall out in the next moment.
Some people are so stunning that they can make your heart tremble even if they are sitting on a low stool in a smelly yard that is a bit disgusting.
Now he completely understood why Liu Zhi was fascinated.
A few days ago, he accidentally burned down a family's house and was punished by his father to be put in solitary confinement. He was only released these two days and missed these good things.
Of course, today was also the first time I met Sui Yu in person.
It is indeed a gift of good looks, which makes people salivate.
Wang Liu stood up from his seat, his eyes shining, "You are Xia Yu, you are really good-looking, no wonder..."
Chu Yinci's eyes suddenly darkened. Before he could say anything, Xia Mochi casually pulled out a bamboo stick that Chu Yinci had just used to make a pig cage and hit Wang Liu hard with it.
"Where are you looking, you idiot?"
The bamboo stick in Xia Mochi's hand seemed to have eyes, and he hit Wang Liu accurately with every hit, leaving him with no choice but to wail and jump up and down to hide.
"How dare you hit me? I'll go back and ask my dad to ruin your business and make you lose everything you've invested."
"Tsk," Sui Hao said sarcastically, his hands on his hips. "Even if you wait another ten years, you won't see us lose everything we have."
"Someone come, someone come, go report to the police and have them all arrested!" Wang Liu was going crazy.
A short servant sneaked out, and because it was in a blind spot, no one noticed him.
Sui Hao continued to taunt, "Your county magistrate has fallen."
Wang Liu's face was covered with neat red marks from being beaten by bamboo sticks. He picked up something nearby and threw it at Xia Mochi.
Unexpectedly, Xia Mochi was very skilled and didn't even move the corner of his clothes when he dodged, but Wang Liu himself got his hands dirty.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The howling towards the sky was completely silenced by a needle thrown by Yan Cheng who walked out of the room.
Those servants wanted to step forward to rescue their master, but they were afraid of the bamboo stick in Xia Mochi's hand, so they shrank back and dared not move forward.
"Stop making so much noise," Yan Cheng stepped aside to make way for Hu Lao San to enter, and gave Sui Yu a flattering smile. "He can stand up now, but he needs two more acupuncture treatments to completely eliminate the hidden danger."
When Yan Cheng received Sui Yu's approving look, the smile on his lips became more smug, but when he looked at Wang Liu who was frantically opening his mouth to try to make a sound, he became impatient again.
"How about poisoning him directly?"
Wang Liu's eyes widened even more. He pinched his own neck and quickly backed away, leaning against the chicken coop, staring warily at Xia Mochi and Yan Cheng.
He was blocked by Xia Mochi and could not be with those servants. He didn't even have a target to push anyone out to block the swords. He felt very insecure.
When he suddenly heard Yan Cheng opening his mouth to poison him, he was frightened.
Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, when the soldiers come, they will all be beaten to death.
Wang Liu was very proud. Fortunately, he stole the county government token from his father's study, so he could mobilize the bailiffs to protect him. Otherwise, he would have been completely controlled by this group of people.
The Xia family has already invested all their money in the business, so even if they withdraw, there is no way to get the money from them.
I can send the yamen runners to burn them all in this remote area, and then return them without anyone noticing. At the very least, I can bribe the official who is in charge of the county government now, and everything will be fine.
They used to do this.
Wang Liu cast a lustful look at Sui Yu, then quickly lowered his head and endured it. Just wait, when the time comes, he will have no choice but to kneel on the ground and beg himself.
He grabbed the medicine bag he carried in his lapel and held it tightly in his hand, so excited that his palms were sweating.
Just as he was thinking about this, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the door.
