Chapter 9 Blessings come, misfortunes do not come alone

Chapter 9 Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes are not alone

When he got home, Leng Xuanrong found something wrong as soon as he entered the house.

Zeng Yanliang and his father sat around the table in the hall. Both of them lowered their heads. Their father's bodies were like sieves, as if they might fall from the chair at any time, and Zeng Yanliang also frowned tightly with a black face.

Leng Xuanrong hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Zeng Yanliang looked up at Leng Xuanrong with an apologetic look on his face. "Just now, a group of people broke into the house to collect Uncle Leng's debts, and I drove them away."

When Leng Xuanrong heard the words, his brain buzzed.

It's really unparalleled and unparalleled misfortune. Whatever you are afraid of will come.

"Brother Yan Liang, will those people... recognize you?" Leng Xuanrong is now not afraid that her father will be recovered from debts, but afraid of revealing Zeng Yanliang's identity.

Zeng Yanliang sighed and shook his head and said, "I don't know whether they know me or not, but I know them. Those are all Zhuangding raised by the Li family's gambling farm. In the past, the county government office and I have been there several times..."

Lijia Gambling Village...

Leng Xuanrong calculated the time, and now it's almost time for her father to have an accident in his previous life.

It seems that we are going to deal with the shopkeeper Han of the Moge and Mr. Li of Lijia Gambling Village.

Leng Xuanrong comforted Zeng Yanliang a few words, and then asked her father about the "night general".

Leng Chengqi, who was already pale, was stunned when he heard his daughter say the word "Night General". After a long time, he recovered and asked in a trembling voice, "Xuanrong, where did you hear the name?"

Leng Xuanrong sat down beside his father, held his body and whispered, "Father, I don't have time to tell you the details of the matter now, but please believe that your daughter has her own proportion."

There was a wave in Leng Chengqi's turbid and empty eyes. He stared at his daughter for a long time. He suddenly got up and returned to his room. After a while, he took out a small wooden box and put it on the table.

Leng Xuanrong saw that the box was exactly the same as the one of the shopkeeper Han, and knew that it must be a "night general".

Opening the lid of the box, the dark brush is still the same as the new one.

Leng Xuanrong had a colic in her heart.

Although my father has always brought that green brush with him, it is not as well preserved as this "night general". As soon as I saw this pen, I understood that my father must often take it out and recall the past to it.

Leng Chengqi picked up the brush, looked carefully, put it back in the box, and said to Leng Xuanrong in a hoarse voice, "This 'night general'... is 100 times more expensive than that Qingyun..."

At this point, he actually choked.

Leng Xuanrong knew that his father wanted to say that even if he took this pen, he would treat it as more money.

"Father, don't worry." Leng Xuanrong put the brush and the box in her sleeve, got up and was about to go out.

At this time, Zeng Yanliang came forward and pulled Leng Xuanrong and asked her where she was going in a low voice.

Leng Xuanrong told Zeng Yanliang that she would take this brush to meet Mr. Li from the Li family gambling house.

"No!"

Zeng Yanliang has been a governmentman in the county government for so many years, and naturally knows very well about the gambling house. The people gathered there are all outlaws, and there are a lot of murderers.

"It's too dangerous for you to go alone. If you really want to go, I will accompany you." Zeng Yanliang said firmly.

Leng Xuanrong sighed, "The robbery of Guanyin is now spreading all over the city. I'm afraid that Brother Yan Liang will be recognized when he comes out of this door."

Zeng Yanliang stamped his feet anxiously, looked at the cold Chengqi who lost his soul in the distance, and said in a low voice, "Even if I will be recognized and will be arrested, I must protect you before that! What is the gambling house? How can I be relieved that you are going to break through alone!"

"Brother Yan Liang..."

Leng Xuanrong looked at Zeng Yanliang with an anxious face, as if she had been injected with a warm current.

It's great that Brother Yan Liang, who cares about her, is still standing in front of him alive.

Leng Xuanrong suppressed the emotion in her heart and said to Zeng Yanliang, "I will take the Han shopkeeper of Quyan Moge. At that time, the brush will be returned to the Han shopkeeper, and the money will be paid by the Han shopkeeper to the gambling house, so that both sides will be satisfied, and they will not be difficult for me."

Zeng Yanliang felt that there was no problem with the method mentioned by Leng Xuanrong, but he was still a little worried. Leng Xuanrong spent a long time talking to persuade him, so that Zeng Yanliang had to stay in the old house with Leng Chengqi and wait for the news. Leng Xuanrong went out alone with the famous pen "Night General".

Lijia gambling house has been opened in Yan County for only two years, but within these two years, the name of Mr. Li, the owner of the gambling house, can be said to be a household name. It's not because he is rich and powerful, but because he has a group of fierce Zhuangding.

These people usually do some trivial things in the gambling village. Once someone is unlucky to be targeted by Mr. Li, these people will change. Whether it is on the street or in the courtyard of the house, as long as they catch that person, they will immediately rush up. In recent years, people who have been targeted by Mr. Li have broken their hands and feet and lost their lives.

And Mr. Li seemed to be very close to the county magistrate who came from a businessman. In the end, what he did was turned into a big and trivial matter.

Because of this, the gambling house's business is getting bigger and bigger.

The facade of the Li family's gambling house alone occupies half of the market, and the noise of shouts and the collision of cups and plates can be heard from the distance.

Leng Xuanrong stood alone in front of the gambling gate and looked at the two big men guarding the door. She was still a little nervous.

What she said to Zeng Yanliang before was actually to reassure him. Leng Xuanrong did not intend to sell the brush in his hand to the shopkeeper Han at all, let alone take him to gamble to complete any necessary transactions.

Leng Xuanrong made it clear that even if she really did that, not to mention the shopkeeper Han, Mr. Li of this gambling house could not be satisfied.

What's more, Mr. Li here is different from the shopkeeper Han of Nayan Moge. In his previous life, Leng Xuanrong had a lot to do with Mr. Li. She knows a lot about Mr. Li's affairs.

Leng Xuanrong thought to himself, Mr. Li, Mr. Li, if you painstakingly wait for the opportunity here, then I will give you a chance to ascend to the sky.

The two big men guarding the door in front of the gambling house have long seen a thin girl standing opposite and looking at their gambling house signboard in a daze. They looked at each other and grinned. One of the big men strode over and said to Leng Xuanrong, "Woman, what's the matter? Do you want to go in?"

Leng Xuanrong glanced at the big man and nodded slightly.

The big man nodded to his companion and said, "This is where the old men come from. If the girl's family wants to go in, we have to ask clearly. Are you here to send money to your partner, or do you have no money for fat powder? Do you want to find a customer?

After saying this, the two big men laughed together.

Although the big man's words were harsh, Leng Xuanrong was unmoved.

She looked up at the big man and said coldly, "Go and tell Mr. Li that Mr. Leng's daughter is looking for him and has something important to discuss."

When the big man saw Leng Xuanrong talking with a cold face high, he also restrained his smile.

"Mr. Leng?" He whispered, as if he didn't remember any face-named person in Kunyan County, so he asked, "Who are you talking about, Mr. Leng?"

Leng Xuanrong frowned and stared at the big man and said harshly, "You are a doorkeeper! Can you also ask who Mr. Leng is? Go and tell the man surnamed Li that what can give him be exchanged for senior officials is in my hand. If he doesn't want it, I will leave immediately!"

The big man didn't expect that such a little girl would dare to scold him like this. A fire rushed to his forehead. He raised his hand to hit Leng Xuanrong, but before his hand fell, another big man behind him hurried forward to stop him.

I'm afraid that people who dare to talk like this in front of the Li family's gambling house have some way. Two big men discussed, one turned around and ran in to report the news, and the other stayed and stared at Leng Xuanrong.

Leng Xuanrong's heart pounded. She stood there and didn't dare to move. She was afraid that if she could move, the tough momentum she had finally pretended would be gone.

She thought about it on the way here. If she didn't do this, I'm afraid it would be difficult for her to see Mr. Li, and then there would be no way to do the rest.

Fortunately, the servants of the Li family's gambling house have seen more or less of the world. If she were to become an ordinary store, she would probably have been beaten away long ago.

After waiting for a stash of incense, there was a sudden loud noise from the gambling house, and the door of the gambling house opened, and a group of fierce villagers rushed out from inside and stood on both sides of the gate of the gambling house.

Leng Xuanrong calmed down and stared at him. After Zhuang Ding came out, a young man slowly came out shaking the fan.

The man wore a jade hairpin on his head, a moonlight satin gown, and a few pieces of jade hanging around his waist. He walked with a jingling sound. Looking at this man's appearance, a pair of fighting eyes are as if they are about to rise. The high bridge of his nose, thick lips and broad mouth are really ugly.

Li Duen.

Leng Xuanrong remembers his name.

In his previous life, he and his group of Zhuang Ding killed his father. Leng Xuanrong clenched her fist and thought to herself that in this life, I will no longer let you live a carefree life.

"The prince, that's the girl." The big man who just went in to report the matter has been Leng Xuanrong and said to Li Duen.

Li Duen curled his big mouth, stared at Leng Xuanrong up and down, and asked, "Are you the daughter of old Leng?"

Leng Xuanrong stared at him fiercely and said coldly, "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth. Do you know what kind of crime the cold old man said?"

Li Duen was stunned when he heard the words, put away his fan and looked at Leng Xuanrong again, and asked tentatively, "What can it be?"

"There is a saying in the criminal law of Huangqi State. The official did not present an order and left without saying, that is to say, there is no Zhu's criticism of the emperor. Even if he is not in his position, his official character remains unchanged, and the official is still an official." Leng Xuanrong walked to Li Duen and said in a low voice, "Senior Li, you should know that it is a crime to be disrespectful to the fourth-grade officials?"
