Chapter 117: Subjugating Li Xiao
Uncle Liu stepped forward and opened the gate.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
Only then did Su Hanchu and Jun Moye see a woman and a young man outside. The young man was Li Xiao, whom they met when they went up the mountain to Shaoxiliu. Jun Moye stepped forward and spoke.
"Li Xiao, why are you here? Come in and sit down first."
Li Xiao took the woman into the yard and followed Jun Moye to the hall.
He put down the cake in his hand somewhat embarrassedly.
"Mother, this is Master Jun and his wife. They lent me money a few days ago so I could get the medicine for you."
Then he looked at Jun Moye and introduced them.
"Mr. Jun, Madam Jun, this is my mother."
Mother Li looked at the two of them with a smile on her face.
"Xiao'er has always told me that he met a noble person. Today, when I saw you, the young master and his wife are indeed extraordinary in appearance and character."
Then he bowed.
"Thank you both very much, otherwise I would still be lying in bed."
Su Hanchu hurried forward to support her.
"Aunt Li, don't be so polite. This is also because we are destined to be together with Li Xiao. Come, sit down and let's sit down and talk."
Uncle Liu soon brought melon seeds and tea.
Li Xiao looked at the Jun family's house and the servants' unusual temperament. He had heard some news about the two of them these days, especially Su Hanchu's name, which was often talked about in Banshan Village. He was the one who developed the curved plow, which saved the people a lot of effort in farming in the future. He put a purse in front of Jun Moye with some embarrassment.
"Master Jun, this is what I can give you now. I'm still short of some. I'll give it to you when I earn more."
Jun Moye pushed the purse back.
"What are you doing? Didn't we tell you that the silver we gave you was for buying the tiger? If you give the silver back now, we won't have any tigers to give you back."
Mother Li spoke quickly.
"Sir, Madam, how can this tiger be worth so much silver? You gave too much..."
Su Hanchu smiled and sat over, holding her hand.
"Aunt, this tiger is a treasure from head to toe. It's worth it. Besides, we just came to the northwest this year. It was also because my husband felt that he had a connection with Li Xiao and wanted to make friends."
Now that the person has come to his door, Jun Moye will definitely take the opportunity to win him over and make him work for him. Su Hanchu knew what he was thinking and pulled Li's mother up.
"Aunt Li, let me show you the yard next door. We have a lot of chickens and ducks and planted some beautiful flowers and plants."
After all, Li's mother was a general's wife before, so she naturally understood. She was just afraid that this young master Jun had something to say to her son alone.
"Well, I used to love growing flowers too."
Wait for the two to leave.
Jun Moye looked at Li Xiao.
"You keep the money. If you agree to buy a tiger, you buy a tiger. If you feel bad about it, please do me a favor in the future."
Seeing that Jun Moye insisted on not taking the money, Li Xiao had no choice but to speak.
"Then tell me something and I'll do it for you. I know how much that tiger is worth. You deliberately gave me too much."
Jun Moye pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Li Xiao, do you want to seek justice for your father?"
Li Xiao clenched his fists upon hearing this.
"Of course I do, even in my dreams. But it's easier said than done. I have no power or influence, and no one in the clan has any."
Jun Moye raised his hand and personally added tea for him.
"You should have figured out where we're from these days. My last name is Jun, and you know what that means. We both have a grudge to avenge. Would you be willing to follow me?"
Naturally, he had inquired about it these days. The Jun family used to be of high status. I heard that they were exiled to the northwest for committing a crime. It would be difficult for him to rely on himself for his father's affairs. Perhaps following the Jun family would be an opportunity.
"Master Jun, I would like to follow you, and I believe you will achieve great things in the future, but my mother..."
Jun Moye spoke after hearing this.
"Don't worry about that. For now, we are all in the northwest. You are still with your mother, and we won't let you do anything dangerous right now."
Seeing Li Xiao lost in thought, Jun Moye continued speaking.
"Li Xiao, you are the descendant of a general and you are also good at martial arts. It is natural that you are proud. You can consider it carefully. If you don't want to, it's okay. But if you decide to follow me, you must not betray me, and I will definitely give your father justice in the future."
Li Xiao pondered for a moment, then stood up and bowed.
"Li Xiao is willing to obey your orders, sir."
Jun Moye took a sip of tea after hearing this.
"Please sit down first. I am just a commoner now, so I won't bother with these formalities. Your salary will be paid as if it were a first-class guard. It just so happens that there is something I need you to do right now."
When Li Xiao heard that there was still money to be taken, his face was visibly happy. After all, since his father passed away, the family had become increasingly financially strapped. In addition, his mother was seriously ill, and soon there was no money left in the family. The Cui family, with whom he was engaged, also broke off the engagement.
"Please give your orders, sir."
Jun Moye pinched the teacup between his fingers.
"There's a Yuelai Tower in town. Starting tomorrow, you should go to the town and thoroughly investigate the origins of Yuelai Tower. Also, keep an eye on the Fang family. There's a man named Fang Zhitong who has a lot to do with Yuelai Tower."
Li Xiao nodded when he heard this and put away the purse on the table. Naturally, since he had become a member of the Jun family, there was no need for him to be polite.
"Okay, I'll take my mother back and get her settled, and then we'll go to town early tomorrow morning."
Jun Moye continued speaking after hearing this.
"Well, remember not to let anyone else know about our relationship, preferably including your mother. Also, the Su family in your village is your wife's family. We will have the Su family pay more attention to your mother in the future."
Li Xiao spoke with gratitude after hearing this.
"Yes, thank you, sir."
At this time, Su Hanchu, who was outside watching flowers with Li's mother, heard the sound of horse hooves from afar. He thought that an envoy was coming, but he didn't know who it was this time.
"Aunt Li, I'm afraid I can't have you guys over for dinner today. We might have a special guest coming to our house. Wait for me to go back to my parents' home to see you in a couple of days. By the way, my parents' home is the Su family in your Banshan Village."
Then he ran into the house.
"Jun Moye, the police may be coming to our house."
Jun Moye stood up and spoke to Li Xiao.
"Take your mother away first and be careful."
Li Xiao nodded when he heard this and quickly left with Li's mother.
Sure enough, Li Xiao and his mother had just left for a while.
You Chatou stopped his horse at the gate of Jun's house...
