The second lady's voice sounded behind her, her chuckle like a silver bell.
Liu Yijin stood up in a hurry and saw Wang Ying wearing a long white dress, followed by the maid Du Juan.
"I've met the second lady."
Wang Ying glanced around: "Your room is a bit simple. If there are too many people here, you won't know where to sit."
Dujuan on the side laughed: "Yi Jin is used to being lazy. He usually squats with those people."
Liu Yijin smiled and wiped the two chairs and handed them over, and Wang Ying sat down.
Du Juan walked outside the house.
Wang Ying looked directly at Liu Yijin: "Are you planning to take action tonight?"
Liu Yijin was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The second lady is quite well-informed."
Wang Ying smiled lightly: "I don't have any insight. I just saw Erzhu and Gouzi, the two people closest to you, in a panic, and there are more people with tools in the house, so I naturally understood. "
"Besides, didn't Liu Yan beside Li Ping'er just leave in a hurry?"
These two simple words made Liu Yijin very excited. He didn't expect Wang Ying to be so smart. He knew that he was going to take action tonight through these few things.
Seeing Liu Yijin's stunned expression, Wang Ying smiled and said: "Idiot, what you did is so obvious. You can deduce what you want to do with just a little attention."
Liu Yijin smiled awkwardly: "The second lady knew in advance. If it were anyone else, they would never have thought of what I was going to do."
Wang Ying said: "Yi Jin, you must be more cautious and flexible when doing things in the future. You can't sit back and relax just thinking that everything is under control. You must think carefully about the next step at every step."
Seeing Wang Ying's solemn expression, Liu Yijin couldn't help but become serious: "Thank you, madam, for reminding me."
Wang Ying smiled: "Okay, then it's up to you tonight."
After sending Wang Ying away, Liu Yijin couldn't help but feel relieved. In any case, the relationship between him and Wang Ying was one of using and being used.
He used her to gain a foothold in the Zhou Mansion and make some money.
And Wang Ying used him to transport the silver out of the Zhou Mansion.
Liu Yijin has always believed that only with the same interests can a strong alliance be built.
And the second lady happened to be the most suitable candidate.
A silver bell-like laughter sounded outside the yard, and Liu Yan, the maid next to Li Ping'er, walked in with a smile.
Liu Yan glanced around and saw several boxes piled up in the yard, and she couldn't help but look suspicious.
Liu Yijin smiled and said: "Sister Liu Yan, where have you been?"
"Isn't it hot in the summer? I'm going to see if the clothes Madam made are ready." Liu Yan looked at several tenants packing their things and walked up with a smile to take a closer look: "One pound, you Aren’t we building a pavilion? Why do we even have boxes?”
Liu Yijin's eyes evaded: "There are a lot of things in the house that need to be sorted out, so I brought them all together."
Liu Yan saw that Liu Yijin was a little flustered and asked casually, "These boxes don't look like they contain ordinary things. Is it possible that Master Yijin has become rich recently?"
Liu Yijin laughed and said, "Sister Liu Yan is joking. I am just a long-term worker. I can't make any money."
Liu Yan smiled charmingly: "Then you go about your business first. If you need help, just let me know."
Seeing the sound of Liu Yan turning and leaving, Liu Yijin's eyes became even more meaningful.
Liu Yan hurried back to the courtyard, where Li Ping'er was waiting anxiously.
"Liu Yan, has the news been passed on?"
Liu Yan nodded: "Madam, don't worry, Master Yuankong will come to see you tonight."
Li Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great."
Liu Yan told what had just happened, and Li Ping'er was shocked: "Is it possible that they are going to transport it out today?"
"Probably not. How could Liu Yijin and Wang Ying let so many people know about the existence of silver? I think they must have prepared all the tools first, and then started slowly."
A hint of coldness flashed across Li Ping'er's face: "Huh, when Yuan Kong comes, it won't be useful even if Liu Yijin and the others have any tricks!"
"Madam, what about Master Yuankong?"
Li Ping'er smiled and said: "Master Yuankong has a special status in the religion. You should be right if you don't know. He used to be in the army and was forced to become a monk because of some trivial matters. However, this is also a part of his status. cover up."
Time passed little by little. In order to prevent Li Ping'er from becoming suspicious, Liu Yijin deliberately prevented the servants from wandering in the courtyard. Two nurses stood at the door of the second lady's courtyard, even if Li Ping'er wanted to peep. , was also blocked mercilessly.
Liu Yijin was sitting in the second wife's room, looking at Li Ping'er at the door with a smile through the window.
"One pound, have you arranged everything?"
Liu Yijin smiled and said: "Don't worry, madam. I also asked Er Zhuzhu to invite the mayor. There will be a banquet at the house tonight. I want to entertain Zhou Bao and others. It will be a good time for everyone to see." Good show."
As night fell, the entire Zhou Mansion was brightly lit. Zhou Bao's sudden visit made the eldest lady Song Lian a little confused.
"The mayor came to visit late at night. Could it be that there is something wrong with my Zhou family?"
Zhou Bao said with a smile: "Madam, you are serious. We are hosting a banquet tonight and just invited me to sit with all the squires."
Song Lian glared at Liu Yijin beside her complainingly: "You guy, why didn't you inform us of such an important matter in advance so that the family can arrange it properly?"
Zhou Baodao: "Madam, there is no need to blame him. I don't want to be so public about this matter. After all, this is a family dinner."
Song Lian's mind completely calmed down after hearing the words "Family Banquet".
Liu Yijin said to Song Lian: "Godmother, just let me entertain you here."
After all, Song Lian was a woman, so naturally she couldn't accompany her drinking late at night. She just gave Liu Yijin some good instructions and then turned around and left.
Watching Song Lian leave, Zhou Bao whispered: "You kid asked me to come over and watch a good show. What good show is it?"
Liu Yijin laughed softly and said, "Sir, please be patient. Let's drink first.
Several servants placed tables and chairs in the yard. Zhou Bao and others watched Liu Yijin suspiciously as he toasted and made jokes: "Yijin, when will the show you mentioned start?"
Liu Yijin smiled mysteriously: "Sir, it depends on when the actor will take the stage."
"actor?"
Everyone looked at each other.
A squire smiled and said: "Now that you have become a young master and have the mayor as your backing, you should have arranged a good show long ago!"
"One pound. In the past, we only envied the Zhou family's wealth, but now we envy you."
Everyone laughed.
"Yes, you became the young master of the Zhou family overnight, and you also have four beautiful godmothers. By a pound, you are a legend in the entire Qinghe Town."
Liu Yijin glanced at Zhou Bao, and seeing that the latter remained calm, he immediately stood up and said, "Everyone, I owe this day to the support of my wife, but today's drama is very important, so Please be patient and calm."
As soon as Liu Yijin finished speaking, shouts suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall, and then, flames shot into the sky.
In a certain house in the mansion, there were even more shouts and several fires flickered.
Everyone looked at Liu Yijin suspiciously: "Yijin, what is this?"
Zhou Bao was also confused. He just knew that Liu Yijin asked him to arrange the patrol team in the town to prepare. He didn't expect that such a big thing would really happen tonight.
Seeing Zhou Bao's puzzled expression, Liu Yijin smiled and said, "Sir, please come with me to watch a good show."
Under the protection of a group of guards, several people walked directly to the small courtyard of the third lady Li Ping'er. They saw that the lights were brightly lit inside, and several strong servants were using fishing nets to trap a monk in night clothes in the middle.
Li Ping'er and Liu Yan stood there with pale faces.
Zhou Bao pointed at the monk and said with confusion, "Master Yuankong?"
Yuan Kong looked embarrassed and said with a gloomy face: "Mr. Mayor, what do you mean?"
The cry also alarmed Song Lian and Wang Ying. They came in a hurry under the escort of several guards. When they saw that there was suddenly an additional monk in the courtyard, and Li Ping'er looked flustered, they instantly understood something.
Song Lian's face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but said angrily: "Damn Li Ping'er, you, you did such a shameful thing in the Zhou Mansion!"
Li Ping'er hurriedly explained: "I don't, I don't know this monk!"
"Don't you know?" Song Lian looked at Liu Yijin in confusion: "Yijin, what happened?"
Liu Yijin sneered: "Let the third lady talk about this matter."
In front of everyone, Li Ping'er's face turned extremely pale: "I, what did I say?"
Liu Yijin said: "Third Madam, now that the matter has come to this, I think you should tell the truth honestly. Otherwise, when everything comes to light, not only will the Zhou family be unable to accommodate you, but I am afraid that the entire Qinghe Town will no longer have room for you."
Seeing that Liu Yijin's words were so serious, Zhou Bao looked at the embarrassed Yuan Kong and Li Ping'er curiously: "Could it be that these two people are having an affair?"
Yuankong's face in the fishing net darkened: "That's nonsense. I am Master Yuankong of Miaomiao Temple. How could I have an affair with the wife of Zhou Mansion? You are trying to frame me!"
"Framing you?" Liu Yijin sneered: "Then tell me, if you are not reciting your Buddhist scriptures in the temple in the middle of the night, why did you come to our Zhou Mansion if you have nothing to do?"
Yuan Kong's face froze and he hummed: "Buddha is everywhere. I felt something in my heart tonight and was guided here by Buddha!"
"That's nonsense!" Liu Yijin sneered: "Where are the second pillars!"
Er Zhuzi ran out with a wooden stick and said nervously: "We were patrolling around here, and we saw a man in black sneaking into the alley, and then skillfully climbed over the wall and entered the third lady's courtyard. "
Li Ping'er suddenly burst into tears: "It's unfair, Mr. Mayor, the maids and I were about to fall asleep when we suddenly heard a noise outside, so we ran out to take a look."
Everyone was also suspicious, it looked like there was adultery.
Liu Yijin gave Er Zhuzhu and others a look, and the servants swung their long sticks and threw them at them.
Although Yuan Kong had martial arts skills, he could not stop the random sticks from attacking him, and he was knocked to the ground after a while.
Liu Yijin walked forward with a sneer: "Yuankong, are you going to say it or not?"
"Say what?"
Liu Yijin snatched a long stick from a nurse and hit Yuan Kong's leg hard: "If you don't behave honestly, the next time the stick will hit your lifeblood!"
The severe pain made Yuan Kong grimace: "Damn it, I, Miao Miao Temple, will never let you go!"
Liu Yijin sneered: "It seems that you won't shed tears without seeing the coffin. If that's the case, then I will just destroy you!"
Seeing Liu Yijin replacing his long stick with a dagger and walking toward him ferociously, Yuan Kong's expression changed drastically: "I am the master of Piaomiao Temple. If you dare to hurt me, you are going against Piaomiao Temple!"
Liu Yijin snorted: "Don't put too much money on your face. If Piao Miao Temple knows that you have committed the crime of obscenity, they will definitely hand you over to the government for justice!"
Liu Yijin walked up to Yuankong and said with a low voice and a sinister smile: "Yuankong, I'm going to cut off your life. That Li Ping'er didn't even react at all. It seems like her feelings for you are not real. .”
"Do you think she would want you if I completely destroyed you?"
These words made Yuan Kong pale. He looked at Li Ping'er, only to find that the latter was just looking at him with a dull expression.
"Liu Yijin, if you dare to hurt me, I will definitely kill you!"
Hearing the murderous intent in Yuan Kong's words, Liu Yijin's eyes darkened: "In that case, don't blame me for being rude!"
The long knife in his hand pierced Yuan Kong's thigh like lightning, and a shrill cry made everyone present change their expressions.
Liu Yijin looked at Yuan Kong with a ferocious expression and sneered: "I will be even less polite with this next stab."
Yuan Kong felt that the knife had moved to his lifeline, and his face suddenly turned pale: "Liu Yijin, I said, I came here to find Li Ping'er!"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they all looked at Li Ping'er.
Li Ping'er's face turned pale and she shook her head hurriedly: "No, no, I don't know him. How could I do something that would be sorry to the Zhou family?"
Liu Yijin sneered: "Since the third lady doesn't know him, he is just a great monk who picks flowers. Even if we beat him to death today, Miao Miao Temple won't say anything!"
