FH Chapter 56: 打劫！
[Robbery!]
Counselor Qin narrowed his eyes and shook his wine glass. His heart was extremely unhappy. Originally he could be the groom, who expected the bride to run away. He spent a lot of money, but he was also ridiculed or laughed at.
Don’t see that he has already reached the sixty (years of age), but he is not a silver spear and wax head, in bed, he is as strong as eighteen lads, that little lady ran away, isn’t she worried that he will die!
“Master, I beg you, washing, cooking, and sewing, I can do it all.”
The woman kept crying and begging for mercy, pear blossom bathed in the rain, red and swollen eyes, very pitiful, “I have just reached maturity, I haven’t come to menstruation yet, I can’t give birth to a child.”
Before she was sold by the mediator, it seems that she had heard that this Counselor Qin had committed too many sins, to have had relationships with many women and at first glance, it was the life of a man who died without progeny.
“***！”
Not having a menstrual period means not being able to conceive an heir, Master Qin was poked in the sore spot and delivered a few more lashes, directly hitting the woman on the bed with her skin bruised and cut open.
“Dead old man, really should go to hell!”
Li Haitang gritted her teeth, the healer mostly can’t see anyone injured in front of them, she has an occupational disease, she always wants to go forward to help with the medicine and bandage.
“This matter, we can’t control it.”
Xiao Lingchuan pulled Li Haitang’s hand, when she was angry, the corners of her eyes were upturned. Her eyes were clear and bright, her cheeks were flushed, there was a different flavor, he came back to his senses for a moment and looked dumbfounded.
“But no matter what, there is no chance that someone will die.”
Li Haitang hesitates, it’s not that her heart’s softened, the situation is different, she has a grudge against Counselor Qin, except that she still relies on the savages to clean up her own mess, and she has no say in the matter.
Xiao Lingchuan’s expression was indifferent, seeing the woman being abused and beaten by Counselor Qin his heart didn’t fluctuate half a bit.
There are so many poor people in the world that it is impossible to help them. Moreover, this woman was sold by her parents to a broker, and her situation was different from Li Haitang’s.
“Forget it.”
Li Haitang prided herself on having a good heart and was by no means an evil person, but the prerequisite for saving someone’s life was not to put herself on the hook.
Stealing the deed of sale and replacing it with a new one must be done in private, if she saved the woman, Counselor Qin was bound to be alerted, and it would add trouble to what had already been planned by adding a new branch to it (raise obstacles; deliberately complicate an issue).
Noticing Li Haitang’s restlessness, Xiao Lingchuan was afraid of a change of heart, and without a word, he entered Counselor Qin’s study room, and in a small box, replaced Li Haitang’s deed of sale.
“If this burns, you will be free.”
Xiao Lingchuan pulled Li Haitang, to the back garden of the Qin mansion, casually took out the flint from the purse on his waist, and ignited the deed of sale with her handprints printed on it.
The fire gradually grew bigger, and within moments, a piece of paper turned into ash and dissipated into the air.
From the time she learned that she had signed the death contract to the time she gained her freedom. In less than a day, Li Haitang’s heart felt as if it was tumbling over huge waves, going up and down.
“Big Brother Xiao, you’re right.”
Cold wind through Li Haitang’s night clothes, she realized that her back was already wet. Just now, she almost impulsively, if Xiao Lingchuan didn’t stop it in time, it was not possible to say that the dagger that she inserted in the barrel of her boot came in handy, and she became a murderer as well.
Counselor Qin might have more than one life in his hands, but it had nothing to do with her.
For every grievance someone is responsible for, for every debt there is a debtor; the one who betrayed her was a relative who was related to her by blood.
Not trying to save somebody who is in danger but how to save, the woman on the bed, is the death contract or servant of Qin, she can help herself, but can’t control others.
“He who is unrighteous is doomed to destruction; may you be the last of your line is the best retribution.”
One couldn’t expect Da Qi to be the same as the modern world, where human that
Xiao Lingchuan pointed to a store across the street, “This is Counselor Qin’s rice and grain store in the county.”
Li Haitang raised her head and saw a few big hot gold letters on the black inscribed board (fixed to a wall or the lintel of a door), Qin Family Grain Shop. She rolled her eyes and quickly understood what the savage meant.
“We’re robbing?”
Being a thief for the first time, Li Haitang rubbed her hands together and was particularly excited, considering that all the heavier grains were inside, she hooked up the corners of her mouth, “The night is just right, why don’t we do something good and rob the rich to help the poor!”
“Okay”
Xiao Lingchuan hooked the corners of his mouth, as long as she was no longer frustrated, just do as she wished.
In the middle of the night, there were people patrolling the streets, and when the people had just passed, Li Haitang followed behind Xiao Lingchuan and sneakily came to the backyard of the store.
Xiao Lingchuan sneaked into the night watchman’s house and hit the back of his head with a wooden stick, estimating that the fellow wouldn’t wake up until noon, so that he wouldn’t be blamed by Officer Qin for his dereliction of duty.
Li Haitang watched with cold eyes, inwardly giving Xiao Lingchuan a thumbs up, the object of their venting was only Officer Qin, they didn’t want to involve others.
Don’t look at the savage’s silence, but do things without a drop of water, not only that, but also take care of other people’s emotions.
“Didn’t see it, you still have this skill!”
The iron wire was inserted into the big lock, a few times, the lock clicked and was opened.
Seeing his nimble movements, Li Haitang pursed her lips and said, “Honestly, have you done this before? The technique is too skillful.”
“First time.”
Xiao Lingchuan put away the wire, pulled Li Haitang into the store first, for fear of being noticed by the patrol, he only lit a candle to illuminate.
Once upon a time he traveled as an armed escort for a convoy, pickpocketing while idle chatting, he learned this skill, insignificant skill, not worth mentioning.
The Qin family rice and grain store is very large, with all kinds of grain, enough to place three rooms, not including the backyard storehouse.
At the entrance, there was a room where Counselor Qin often came over to check the accounts.
“Big Brother Xiao, look, there are three locks on the doorway, there must be something valuable inside.”
Being able to make Counselor Qin bleed, Li Haitang’s waist was no longer sore, her legs did not hurt, and she immediately became energized. She watched Xiao Lingchuan solve the three big locks just like a magic trick, and hurriedly followed him into the door.
Inside the house is a small tea room, a stack of account books placed on the table, Li Haitang casually took a wrapping skin rolled up the account books, pondering and so go back to find a place to burn, just to burn the account books, enough to make the entire Qin resident anxious about the fire.
Below the table there is a drawer, Xiao Lingchuan unlocked, took out the small box inside, a rough look, broken silver about more than a hundred taels, the bottom layer is scattered copper coins.
“Silver, we’ll just smile and accept it, before we leave, we’ll go along with some rice and noodles, and give some food to the poor people.”
Li Haitang tightly hugged the small box, only a hundred taels, not as much as the silver she sold her body for, considering it as a mental damage fee (compensation for emotional damages) for her.
Xiao Lingchuan nodded his head and resignedly carried the rice bag, the two of them came and went in a hurry, running to the north of the city near the commoner’s ghetto to be the God of Wealth.
This meal tossed, the sky is slightly white, Li Haitang is not yet finished, on the way home, holding Xiao Lingchuan’s arm to inquire, “That Counselor Qin, there is still some properties or let’s do another one?”
Xiao Lingchuan: “…”
