Chapter 94

The uncle who sold the hairpin looked at him with strange eyes, and muttered, "There is no one selling gold in the stall. With your vision, you should go to the jewelry store to find it."

Li Jingyun turned his head and asked her, "Where is the jewelry store?"

Hua Yue's eyes twitched: "Aren't you going to the tea shop?"

"Go and see the jewelry first."

Hua Yue was a little impatient, but thinking about the two cents of profit, she held back her breath and pulled Youjie and Shi to move forward.

Li Jingyun followed slowly, his eyes fell behind her, and he couldn't see the emotion, but he never turned away.

Huayue didn't notice it, but Youjie looked back at him with confusion in her eyes.

In Youjie's eyes, his father is very fierce and serious, and most people are afraid of him. He walks at the front, and can follow a large group of people behind him. Daddy can talk to people a lot, and he can't understand a word, but the person on the other side will always sweat profusely.

This was the first time Jie saw Daddy so quiet, without saying a word, walking behind people willingly, like a saddled horse.

He wanted to let go of his mother's hand and pull his father, but as soon as he had this thought, his father glared at him.

Youjie is very aggrieved. He is only two years old. He doesn't want to understand the face of adults, and wants to be self-willed, but Zaohui's cleverness does not allow it, so he can only pull his mother honestly and continue to move forward. .

Jewelry shops in towns are very ordinary, far less grand than Jinghua’s Baolai Pavilion. Huayue brought people out and waited outside. Li Jingyun didn’t say anything and went in to choose by himself.

Shi Xiang and Youjie pushed me and played a little trick, Hua Yue took out the ledger she was carrying when she had nothing to do, and when she looked at it, she felt that the corner of her skirt was being pulled.

"Mother, hurry in." Shi Xiang suddenly shouted.

Hua Yue was stunned for a moment, and when she looked down, she saw that his brows were wrinkled, and he said with a cautious expression: "Don't look outside."

The last time saw him look like this was when Bu Zhuang met someone looking for trouble. Hua Yue understood and took the two children into the door.

After a while, the two of them followed in the door, and the second one knew something was wrong at first glance, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What do you want to watch?"

Huayue stood at the corner of the wall, holding the two children's hands and taking a glance out of the corner of the eye, okay, the enemy's road is narrow, and Ma Chengyuan is far away.

As said before, the girl’s family must be bullied when she goes out to do business. Huayue and Shuangjiang naturally met the person who jumped over the wall in the middle of the night. Ma Chengyuan was one of them. But on weekdays, people will also go to the cloth village to find trouble, not to smash, but to stop at the door, forcing the guests to dare not enter the door. Every time he had to get some money to pay, this man was willing to take people away.

Huayue had a headache for him for a long time, and now she ran into him with her two children, so naturally it was better to avoid it.

However, Ma Chengyuan saw her, so he chased in the door and leaned in front of her with a smile: "Manager Yin, haven't seen you for two days?"

Pulling the child behind her, Hua Yuepi smiled but did not smile.

Ma Chengyuan came over, caught a glimpse of the child, and said, "It's easy to meet, you will pay this month's money, and it will save our brothers a trip to Buzhuang."

Shi Xiang grabbed You Jie's hand with watery eyes. You Jie glanced at him, took two steps out to block Hua Yue, raised his head and said, "Women, children and children are blocked in the street asking for money, what's the rule?"

Ma Chengyuan was startled by the sound, looked around with an exaggerated expression, then lowered his head in disdain, and said with a smirk, "You stinky child, what rules do you have with Lao Tzu? Stay away and don't step on you."

With a sullen face, Huayue pulled Youjie away, and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't bring any money with me when I went out, you can ask someone to pick it up tomorrow."

With high eyebrows, Ma Chengyuan narrowed his triangular eyes and stretched out his hand: "Then you must remember to leave a door for me tomorrow."

The gangsters in the town have dirty hands, and Huayue has also touched him, but she is driving a cloth shop, and it is not good to fight against these local snakes. Anyway, just pick your chin and touch your face, then go back and wash your face.

So Ma Chengyuan stretched out his hand as usual and said cheerfully: "When did you figure it out, my silver is still yours—"

son.

Before the last word was uttered, there was a loud crack in the air, and it exploded in front of him.

The bright red blood penetrated the skin and bones, seeping out along the tip of the hairpin, and the delicate silk canary hairpin was covered with blood stains, swaying back and forth with the dangling beads.

The hand that was so close at hand was stabbed in the opposite direction.

Hua Yue opened her eyes wide, and before she had time to take a breath, Youjie pulled her body down, Shi Fang's hand was quickly raised, one in each hand, covering her eyes.

"..."

Ma Chengyuan didn't react for a while, and stared blankly for a while, before screaming mournfully.

The customers in the store were startled and ran out one after another. Xiao Er came over to look at them, and backed away in fear: "I got pierced..."

The tail of the hairpin is not very sharp, but it can penetrate the palm of the hand from the back of the hand. How much strength must it take? Xiao Er wiped his face, tremblingly trying to find the shopkeeper, but when he turned around, he saw the shopkeeper also standing trembling at the counter. In front of him was a guest with an empty hairpin box, black His eyes looked at Ma Chengyuan's side, and the movement of throwing things had not been completely stopped.

The little one's eyes widened.

Ma Chengyuan couldn't stop screaming. The brother who followed him stepped forward to support him. When he turned around and saw the person who started, he scolded, "I'm impatient to live!"

Li Jingyun thought about it seriously and nodded: "It's a little bit."

It's been a long time since the two brothers swaggered and deceived Pengci together to collect protection fees. The first time I met someone who responded like this, I choked for a while. Ma Chengyuan burst into tears in pain, covered his hands and shouted at him: "Go to the Yamen, you don't want to go bankrupt today, you don't want to leave this Huaiyong City!"

With a chuckle, Li Jingyun turned around and said to the shopkeeper, "Take another bag and send it to the place I said earlier."

The shopkeeper's face turned pale, and then the money he handed over made his lips tremble.

Li Jingyun didn't have any extra mood to appease the onlookers. He walked towards Ma Chengyuan, looked down at him and asked, "Going to the yamen?"

His general style was a bit overwhelming, Ma Chengyuan looked up and down, choked up tears, and calmed down: "It's okay to be private, you can pay two hundred taels of silver."

Heart is really dark, Hua Yue shook her head, opened her mouth to say that the injury was almost fifty taels, and heard footsteps outside the door.

Her eyes were still blindfolded, and she couldn't see who was coming, but Ma Chengyuan suddenly screamed and shouted, "What are you doing!"

Then the mouth was gagged and dragged out whimpering.

Hua Yue quickly took Shi Fu's hand away, but she couldn't see anyone when she looked up. The door of the shop was empty, and there was only one Li Jingyun left in front of her, and two bloodstains left on the ground.

"You brought someone with you?" She frowned.

Li Jingyun asked blankly, "Who is it? It was the official patrolling the city who took him away."

Such a coincidence? Hua Yue didn't believe it, but when she looked around, she couldn't really see any movement, so she said, "That person is used to being arrogant in the town. Come out, it's me who suffers."

"Yin Zhangshi also has something to fear?" He said in a strange and authentic tone.

It's been a long time since I heard this name, Huayue was in a trance for a moment, and shook her head: "In life, people at high places are afraid of falling, and people at low places are afraid of flooding. Who has nothing to be afraid of."

"At least you don't have to be afraid of this when you're by my side." He snorted coldly, and then walked out the door with a swirl of his sleeves.

Are these words running on her, or implying her? Hua Yue pursed her lips, she wasn't interested no matter what, so she pretended not to hear and continued to show him the way.

Li Jingyun had a lot of things to buy. He went out of the jewelry shop and went to the tea shop. After picking and picking for a while, he went to the carpenter shop. Huayue was really tired with her two children, so when Li Jingyun stopped by a restaurant , she said without hesitation: "The food here is delicious, you can try it."

It was getting late. In fact, she should go back to Buzhuang, but this master has been anxiously shopping, and she did not dare to retreat halfway.

Looking up at the restaurant, Li Jingyun showed some disgust in his eyes, but there was nothing better in this place, so he just walked in and ordered a table of wine and food.

Finally able to sit down and rest, Huayue quickly placed the two children and rested herself.

"Sir, won't you go back to the barracks?" she asked tentatively.

Li Jingyun said solemnly: "I hurt someone just now, so I have to stay in the city. In case the local yamen is summoned, I won't rush back and forth."

"Then can you watch these two children first?" Hua Yue said, "The carriage from the city to the town packed up and went home half an hour ago, and has to walk back, these two children can't stand it when they are so sleepy. toss."

Glancing at her, Li Jingyun said, "You can rest here for the night."

Hua Yue subconsciously refused: "No need, you don't have enough money on your body, you can take them with you, and I can go back to the cloth village."

Puppy, who has been running outside for two years, is finally a little smarter and not so easy to deceive. Li Jingyun drank tea with his eyes lowered, and a dark light surged in his eyes: "Yes."

"You have a job." Hua Yue got up and stopped eating at the same table with him, so she went out to find an ox cart and went back to town.

Usually at dusk, many ox carts will drive out of the city, and Huayue walks to the gate of the city, thinking that they can go back after waiting for the next one to give a few coins. However, when she finally walked to the gate of the city, she saw that the soldiers guarding the city were closing the door.

"Hey, my lord?" Hua Yue hurriedly stepped forward, "Why is the access control so early today?"

The soldier glanced at her and drove her to the side: "There are murderers in the city making trouble, and the yamen's order is not allowed to enter or leave at this moment, you go back."

Go back, where are you going? If she wants to go back, she should go out. Hua Yue frowned and stood on tiptoe, but saw that the city gate had closed tightly with a bang.
