Chapter 288: Are you worthy enough to be my slave?
The secret guard returned to Zhenqiao Tower and met Hei Bai head-on.
"Where have you been? You look as happy as a fly having a secret meeting with shit."
The dark guard laughed angrily: "Hey, you are so mean...
Having said that, he took out a round stone and tossed it in his hand.
"I..." He opened his hand and the stone disappeared, "Hey, I said, that's mine, you don't need it, give it back to me."
"Isn't this the stone that the master asked you to use to record your merits?" Hei Bai held the stone and asked, "Where did you pick it up?"
"This is mine. I earned it myself. How could I have picked it up?"
"Tell me now, or I'll report you to my master and have all your wages for the past three months deducted from you."
The secret guard was helpless: "I said, I said it's not possible, this is what I got from No. 7, she gave it to me voluntarily, I didn't steal it."
When Hei Bai heard that it was Green Lake, he didn't want to ask any more questions and just threw the stone back to him.
The secret guard was about to continue speaking, but when he saw him leave, he was confused.
Just as he put the stone away, Hei Bai came back again: "What happened to number seven?"
The secret guard covered the bag of stones and said, "Nothing happened. What can she do? She is so cruel and ruthless. She asked me to find a man for her. His name is Liu Laosi. He is a rickshaw driver..."
Hei Bai frowned, turned around and left.
Secret guard: “…” I’m really impressed.
…
Yu Shengsheng drank the medicine and felt a little more relaxed.
Jin Baobao came in quickly: "Miss, I found this in the yard."
A ball of paper wrapped around a stone.
"I don't know where it came from. It almost hit me. I took a look and I don't recognize some of the words. Please take a look."
Yu Shengsheng took it and took a look. She was surprised and immediately stood up to look outside.
It was dark and all I could see were the swaying shadows of the trees, nothing else.
Lu Hu lowered his eyes slightly and put away the medicine bowl: "Miss, what is it?"
"I was wondering about Liu Laosi's background and whether Cheng Zishan or Su Zhiyi had any leverage over him. It seems that it is true."
It shows here that Liu Laosi has a son and a daughter. Although he is a rickshaw driver, how can a rickshaw driver of the Su Mansion be the same as an ordinary rickshaw driver? His usual monthly salary and year-end rewards are enough for his family to live a good life.
Watching Su Yanshu at the Su Mansion, he knew the importance of studying, so he brought up his son well, making him able to read, write, and do accounting. He used to work as a tally clerk in a shop. One month before Yu Shengsheng returned home, he was promoted to work for the accountant.
This shop happens to be under Su Zhiyi's name.
He also has a daughter who is a few years younger than his son. She has always been in poor health and often takes medicine. Other things are fine, but this kind of medicine is rare and rarely sold in the capital. Only one pharmacy has it in stock all year round.
This shop belongs to Cheng Zishan.
Yu Shengsheng quickly finished reading the rest, his face extremely gloomy.
"Go see Liu Laosi."
Liu Laosi was still in the yard. Not to mention, Jin Baobao's previous threats of starvation and thirst had no effect on him. The word "cold wind" made him tremble with fear.
Gusts of wind blew up the dead leaves in the yard and passed by him, making his heart tighten.
Just when I was scared half to death, the gate of the yard suddenly creaked open.
He was frightened and moved a few times, but he couldn't move much because he was tied up. His mouth was blocked and he sobbed but couldn't speak clearly.
A shadow was cast on the ground. He closed his eyes and dared not look anymore. Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
Someone came closer to him with light footsteps and pulled something out of his mouth.
He gasped for breath, still not daring to open his eyes.
"Liu Laosi, are you afraid too?"
A cold voice sounded, Liu Laosi opened his eyes, and saw Yu Shengsheng standing in the halo. His violently beating heart slowed down a little.
"Just answer whatever the young lady asks you. Otherwise, I will throw you into your family's ancestral grave!" Jin Baobao shouted angrily.
Liu Laosi's throat rolled and his face turned pale: "I..."
"You joined Cheng Zishan not because Cheng Zishan bribed you, but because of Su Zhiyi, right?"
Liu Laosi was startled, looked up at her, met her cold and sharp eyes, then retracted his gaze guiltily and nodded.
"My son works in the princess's shop. In two or three years, he will be able to be an accountant. That is... a job that will bring honor to the family. In the future, our Liu family will have a respectable person."
"Unlike me, who can only be a coachman, no different from those cattle and horses."
"So you'll sacrifice your daughter?" Yu Shengsheng asked angrily, "Or someone else's daughter?"
Liu Laosi's eyes dodged: "She...she is my brother's daughter. My brother and his wife died early, so I adopted her and never treated her badly. It's her own health that makes her always sick. And the medicinal herbs are only available in the Cheng family, so I..."
Yu Shengsheng said angrily: "Baobao, slap him twice!"
Jin Baobao rolled up his sleeves and started fighting without saying a word.
"Is your daughter really sick? Didn't you deliberately make her sick for the sake of your son's future? You deliberately gave Cheng Zishan the handle to see what she wanted to do and let her think that you were really being used by her!"
Jin Baobao's eyes widened, and he slapped them both again: "Bah, you are such a piece of shit."
Liu Laosi sniffed: "I have no choice, my son's future is in the hands of the princess, I...my son has had a hard time, it's a rare opportunity to turn things around, how can I not seize it?
Besides, my daughter is just sick for a while, it won’t be a big problem, she will be fine after a few days, I have raised her for so many years…”
"Your son has a hard time, but other people's daughters deserve to die?" Yu Shengsheng laughed in anger, "Also, how did your brother die? Do I need this princess to remind you?"
Liu Laosi looked up in shock, his eyes full of fear, and quickly looked around, as if his brother's ghost would be wrapped in some gust of wind and come to seek revenge on him.
"After your brother died, his house and land all belonged to you. How much did you spend on raising his daughter?"
"You murdered your own brother for money, and you didn't even treat his daughter well. Do you deserve to live, a beast like you?"
Liu Laosi's lips trembled and he couldn't say a word in rebuttal.
"Baobao, don't give him any food or water. Tomorrow morning, take him to Jingzhao Prefecture to report the case."
"yes."
When Liu Laosi heard this, he panicked: "Miss Sheng, please forgive me this time!"
"Let you go?" Jin Baobao punched him. "How dare you open your mouth? You made the young lady drag her to that house, which was like sending her to death. Don't you know that?"
Liu Laosi struggled for a few times but couldn't get up. He could only knock his head on the ground: "Miss Sheng, I know I was wrong. I'm sorry. I will work like a slave for you from now on..."
"Bah, who is worthy of being a slave to the young lady? A slave is much better than you."
Yu Shengsheng turned around to leave, and Liu Laosi said urgently: "Miss Sheng, I have news to report about that beast-headed man!"
