Chapter 161 Rejection of Li Xuanqing, the Disabled Beggar
"My name is Li Xuanqing. May I ask your name and where you are from?"
The beautiful woman in the blue dress raised her head, her moving gaze fell on Lai Yang and she looked him over for a few seconds, her voice melodious and pleasant like the song of a lark.
This man was dressed simply, but his appearance was extraordinarily handsome, and there was an indescribable feeling about him.
In addition, he seemed to be at ease when facing everyone just now, so he must not be an ordinary person.
Unfortunately, she couldn't see through the other party's cultivation level.
In such a situation, either the other party's cultivation is far superior to hers, or he has a treasure that can conceal his aura, or he has learned similar skills.
While the other person was looking at Lai Yang, Lai Yang was also looking at the woman in front of him.
This woman has an extraordinary temperament and it is obvious that she is not from an ordinary family. She is most likely the daughter of a wealthy or noble man in Jiangyang City.
"My name is Lai Yang. I barged in unintentionally. Please don't be offended. By the way, Miss Li, what happened today was purely a misunderstanding." Lai Yang explained.
Li Xuanqing frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes: "From what you said, Master, are you planning to deny your responsibility? Are you trying to tease Xuanqing?"
Lai Yang was slightly startled, and looked at the other party in confusion and said, "What do you mean by that, Miss Li? How can you say it's a joke?"
Without Li Xuanqing saying anything, the maid next to her immediately spoke up, "You are asking questions knowing the answer. Everyone in Jiangyang City knows that our Li family is selecting a son-in-law today. The person who wins the embroidered ball will be eligible to marry into the Li family and get engaged to my young lady."
After hearing what the maid said, Lai Yang finally understood that he had somehow gotten the status of Li family's son-in-law.
"Marry into the wife's family?"
"You are not happy to marry into my family? Do you know how many young talents in Jiangyang City want to marry into our Li family and get engaged to my young lady?"
"I don't really care about marrying into the wife's family or not, but Miss Li and I just met by chance, and we have never met before. You and I don't know each other very well, so it's not good to talk about marrying into the wife's family so hastily. I'm sorry I can't accept it."
Hearing this, a hint of astonishment flashed across Li Xuanqing's beautiful eyes. From the sound of the other party's words, it seemed that he was going to reject her?
"What? You don't agree?" The maid seemed to have heard something shocking, and her eyes widened slightly. "Do you know who my young lady is?"
Lai Yang looked at Li Xuanqing calmly, his eyes were not moved at all, and said lightly: "Looking at Miss Li's appearance, I know that she is definitely not an ordinary person, but this is just a coincidence, and I didn't mean it. Please choose another good man."
"The thrown hydrangea fell into your hands, and other people also saw you go up to the attic. If I let this matter go, other people will look at me like this. How will they look at my Li family? I'm afraid it will cause damage to the reputation of my Li family. No matter what the process is, since Mr. Lai has snatched the hydrangea, he should become a member of the Li family. How can he regret it so easily?" Li Xuanqing shook her head and opened her cherry lips slightly.
Lai Yang never believed that good things would fall from the sky.
If something good comes right to your door and falls on your head, there must be something fishy going on.
Li Xuanqing was obviously not the daughter of an ordinary family, and she was not ugly either. Instead, she was quite beautiful.
Such a person suddenly wanted to get engaged to him, a person whose background he didn't know, and wanted him to marry into the Li family.
It seems like a free gift, but there might be a big pit behind it waiting for him to jump in.
Although he is very handsome now, Lai Yang is not so conceited as to think that his handsomeness can make the other person fall in love with him at first sight and then want to pay for him like crazy.
Lai Yang didn't know why the other party wanted him to marry into the Li family, but Lai Yang guessed that it must not be a good thing and he might get involved in some trouble.
Besides, being a son-in-law is not a good status, and he will be looked down upon and ridiculed by others.
The Li family has considerable influence in Jiangyang City. Becoming a son-in-law of the Li family is a great opportunity for many people, but Lai Yang is obviously not one of them.
Lai Yang was not interested in such an opportunity. It was obviously a trap set by Yi Lu.
Even if there are benefits, they will inevitably be accompanied by a lot of troubles.
"I'm sorry, I really have no intention of marrying into the Li family. See you later."
"He wants to leave, come, stop him."
Several Li family masters hiding in the dark tried to suppress Lai Yang, but the latter's figure disappeared like a ghost and reappeared outside the attic in the blink of an eye.
"Xiao Hei, the wind is strong, run away."
Lai Yang shouted and immediately fled with Xiao Hei.
"Miss, he ran away." The maid said in surprise when she saw a man and a dog running away outside the attic.
Li Xuanqing didn't know what to say for a moment, and even in her heart she couldn't help but have a little doubt about her own charm.
She never thought that one day she would be despised and rejected by others.
Jiang Yangcheng didn't know how many people wanted to step into her Li family's threshold.
This person was so good, she was given the opportunity, but she ran away instead.
"Miss, this man is too ungrateful. I'll have someone bring him back." The maid said indignantly.
Li Xuanqing shook her head, a trace of regret appeared in her eyes, and she said softly: "Forget it, since he doesn't want to, let him be, and make new arrangements. Do I, Li Xuanqing, need him as a man?"
Hearing Li Xuanqing's words, the maid nodded immediately: "Yes, Miss."
The other side.
Lai Yang, who had successfully escaped, said to the big black dog at his feet: "Xiao Hei, this Jiangyang City is too dangerous. As soon as we arrived, someone coveted your master's body."
"Master, how about I go and kill them all?" Xiao Hei said with gritted teeth.
"Forget it. If you go to kill someone with your current strength, you will probably just end up as a dish of dog meat hotpot on someone else's table." Lai Yang said jokingly.
Xiao Hei's ears drooped for a moment, but he quickly perked himself up again and shouted in a deep and firm voice: "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't look down on the poor little dog."
"Read less storybooks in your daily life. Be careful if you run into a strong person one day and he asks you to show off, but he really cooks you up."
Lai Yang and Xiao Hei spent a few days leisurely traveling in Jiangyang City.
During this period, Lai Yang accidentally heard about the Li family.
As expected, there was another reason why Li Xuanqing was so eager to find a son-in-law.
It is said that she was noticed by a direct descendant of a large family, who wanted to take her as a concubine.
The other party's family is very powerful, and the Li family does not want to offend the other party too much, but they cannot directly refuse.
In order to avoid marrying and becoming the other party's concubine, Li Xuanqing wanted to persuade the young man from the big family to withdraw through the method of marriage proposal, so as to save some face for both parties.
Lai Yang is too familiar with such a script. The big victim who becomes the shield of the Li family will definitely be hated by the other party and then retaliated wildly.
If someone is capable, he may be able to take advantage of the situation and soar to the sky.
If he were an ordinary person, he would probably die unexpectedly one day.
Even if we might know who did it, due to the other party's status and strength, it will most likely be left unresolved.
Fortunately, I didn't get involved. Lai Yang didn't want to follow the script of the son-in-law.
"Xiao Hei, you must remember from now on that lust is like a sword hanging over your head." Lai Yang sighed.
Xiao Hei looked at Lai Yang with a question mark on his face.
What's wrong with the master suddenly?
Suddenly, Lai Yang stopped and looked at a figure on the street.
The man was not even 50 years old, but his hands and feet were strangely twisted, and his tongue seemed to have been cut off. He was begging pitifully on the street.
Lai Yang couldn't help but feel a little sorry for such a young disabled beggar, whose hands and feet were disabled and who couldn't even speak.
After hesitating for a moment, Lai Yang took out a tael of silver and threw it into the other person's bowl. Without caring whether the other person thanked him or not, he turned and left.
However, just as Lai Yang left, a man with a fierce look came out from the alley next to him, took the silver in the bowl with a smile, leaving only an empty broken bowl.
"Each time he makes a move, he gets one or two taels of silver. It would be nice if there were more of these rich and generous sheep every day."
"What are you looking at? Work hard, or you won't have anything to eat at night."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man with a fierce look took the silver and left, guarding the alley again.
This scene naturally fell into Lai Yang's eyes.
Lai Yang frowned unhappily, a murderous intent arose in his heart.
He originally thought that it was just a poor man who couldn't make a living and was begging, so he suddenly felt kind and helped him.
I never thought that there was someone controlling everything behind the scenes.
Humph, his money is not so easy to take.
Before I knew it, the sky darkened.
At this time, in a dilapidated house in the south of Jiangyang City, a dozen disabled beggars were staying together, with uneasy and fearful looks on their faces.
Some of them had one hand broken, some had one foot broken, some lost both feet, some lost both hands, some lost their left eye, and some lost their right eye.
But they all have one thing in common, that is, their tongues have been cut off and they cannot speak.
In front of these disabled beggars, two strong adult men were counting their harvest of the day.
"Brother, we don't have to do anything every day and we can earn dozens of taels of silver. Those people are so stupid that they are willing to give money away for free. If only all this money belonged to us, we would soon have no worries about food and drink for the rest of our lives."
"Don't have any evil ideas. If you dare to do that, believe it or not, our bodies will appear in the mass grave tomorrow."
"Let me tell you, how dare I touch those adults' money? No matter how good the money is, you still need someone alive to spend it."
The two were immersed in the white silver when they suddenly noticed some movement, and then a big black dog rushed in.
"Where did this beast come from?" One person was startled and shouted subconsciously.
"What a fat black dog! I don't know how long it has been since I last tasted dog meat. You brought it to my door on your own initiative. Go and close the door quickly to scare it away. We are in for a treat tonight."
When the other person saw the big black dog covered in meat, he immediately showed some greed in his eyes and quickly spoke.
However, the next moment, the two people who were still coveting Xiao Hei's body were instantly frightened out of their wits, and their expressions were filled with horror.
"You two ants want to eat me? You're looking for death." Xiao Hei spoke in human language and shouted angrily.
"Fuck! This dog has become a spirit. It can talk!"
One of them couldn't control his weak legs and suddenly sat down on the ground, his face full of fear, and raised his hand to point at Xiao Hei.
"Monster! How could a monster sneak into the city? Help!"
Both of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale as paper, their bodies were shaking violently, and sweat kept pouring down their faces.
In an instant, Xiao Hei's body grew several times larger, reaching the height of a person, and his terrifying fangs and sharp teeth seemed able to tear everything apart.
With a casual pounce, he pinned the two men to the ground, unable to move.
"Don't eat us! Don't eat us!"
"Brother Dog, Lord Dog, please let us go. We will do whatever you ask us to do. Our meat is not tasty. If you want to eat, eat their meat. Their meat is more tender and tastier."
The two wanted to divert the monster's attention to the disabled beggar next to them.
A dozen disabled beggars were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They wanted to call for help but could not make a decent sound. They huddled in a corner with fear in their eyes.
At this moment, a handsome figure, like an immortal, appeared in the house and comforted the disabled beggars, saying, "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you."
Lai Yang's voice contained a powerful spiritual force, which seemed to penetrate directly into the depths of their souls.
In an instant, the disabled beggars calmed down, the panic in their hearts gradually dissipated, and they calmed down again.
The two people on the side did not have such a good treatment. They were pressed down by Xiao Hei, their minds were blank, and they were already scared to death.
"Save me! Save me! I'll give you whatever you want, as long as you can save me."
Lai Yang glanced at the two of them with a cold and emotionless look, as if he was looking at two cold corpses.
"Save you? Okay, I'll save you right now." Lai Yang sneered and walked forward.
Afterwards, Lai Yang didn't want to waste any more time talking to these two scumbags, so he immediately separated their souls from their bodies and refined them into a formation to check the memories in their souls.
The souls of the two were torn out of their bodies alive, which was a hundred times more painful than being cut into pieces.
After a while, Lai Yang learned a lot of things from the memories of the two.
Lai Yang guessed correctly that these dozen disabled beggars were crippled by these two beasts.
Not only that, in the huge city of Jiangyang, there are a large number of children who have the same experience as them.
Most of these children are children of refugees, who were brought here from other places.
In order to be able to beg for money, they would have parts of their bodies mutilated alive, in order to gain the sympathy of others and earn money.
During the whole process, even if they were injured or had a fever, they would not be taken to see a doctor, at most they would simply be given some medicine.
If they couldn't survive and died, they would just find a random place to bury their bodies.
Even if they are lucky enough to survive, their lifespan will never be long.
Lai Yang took a look and saw that there were more than a dozen disabled beggars, and none of them had more than ten years left to live.
At least eight, if not ten, innocent young lives were tortured to death by them.
They don't care about the lives of these disabled beggars at all. They treat them as tools to make huge money and discard them at will when they are no longer useful. They are absolutely unscrupulous and deserve to be killed!
These two men are just low-level executors, and there are powerful forces behind them supporting them and planning everything.
Through their memories, we learned that these two people were from a force called the Black Dragon Gang in Jiangyang City.
The Black Dragon Gang is the local tyrant in Jiangyang City. As long as others are willing to pay, they will do all the dirty work for others.
A cold light flashed in Lai Yang's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Hei, you stay here to protect these children. I'm going to go out and do something."
