After listening to Liu Yijin's explanation, Song Lian's face became even more gloomy: "You mean you bought this thing for me, and then you showed it to Wang Ying?"
"right."
"Then why doesn't it look new?"
"Madam, I haven't been idle all day. I either went to the cell or went to the temple. I was sweating all over. Naturally, this bellyband became like this. Besides, I wanted to throw this one away. Then I’ll buy you a new one to wear.”
Song Lian looked at Liu Yijin's heartbroken expression, and half of the anger in her heart was gone: "Liu Yijin, you didn't lie to me?"
"The conscience of heaven and earth!" Liu Yijin pointed three fingers at the sky: "If I deceive the eldest lady, let me..."
Seeing Liu Yijin about to swear, Song Lian snorted: "Okay, if you really lie someday, God won't cut you off, I will cut off your part."
Seeing that Song Lian's anger had subsided, Liu Yijin hurriedly said: "I did show this bellyband to the second lady. After all, she should know whether you are dressed appropriately or not. Besides, there are so many people in the house, so I just You can ask her, right? After all, I helped her solve Li Ping'er's matter this time."
"Even if she had an opinion, she wouldn't say it."
Liu Yijin's words made Song Lian slowly relax her guard. She couldn't help but snorted and threw her bellyband over: "You took it to the cell and then to the temple. Of course I don't want it, but the size is quite good." Appropriate, you little devil, it seems you don’t look at me less often.”
Liu Yijin hurriedly kicked up his bellyband and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you don't get angry, I will buy you another one another day."
Song Lian chuckled and lightly tapped Liu Yijin's forehead with her finger: "Idiot, you don't have to buy it another day."
Liu Yijin had a dark look on his face: Madam, you can't use verbs here.
The speed of the lady's car increased so fast that I couldn't keep up!
"One pound, have you thought about it?"
The eldest lady's words immediately made Liu Yijin's heart tremble. He looked at eldest lady Song Lian's pouty mouth and swallowed for no reason: "Madam, this, I, I didn't brush my teeth."
"It's okay, I have salt water here, ready for you."
"Madam, I, I'm dirty."
"It doesn't matter, I won't take off your clothes."
"doctor......"
Liu Yijin wiped his mouth and walked out of Song Lian's courtyard. His mouth felt sore, as if there were traces of his tongue swiping on it.
He clenched his fist fiercely: "It would be unkind to not avenge this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Bao running over in a hurry: "One pound, something serious is going to happen."
"Li Ping'er was kidnapped."
"What?" Liu Yijin's face changed drastically: "Isn't Li Ping'er already escorted to Beijing? How could he be kidnapped!"
Zhou Baodao: "The prison van was robbed by a group of men in black just after it left Qinghe Town. Li Ping'er was taken away, but Yuan Kong died under random arrows in the chaos."
Liu Yijin said nervously: "What about Mr. Wei and Mr. Liu?"
"Mr. Wei and Mr. Liu took a step forward, one pound, this, what should we do?"
Liu Yijin was also panicked. He didn't expect the other party to move so fast.
"It must be that damn Yuan Zhen who brought people from Maitreya Buddhism here!"
Zhou Bao looked solemn: "Master Liu specially asked someone to come over and inform us, be careful of Li Ping'er's revenge on the Zhou family."
After Zhou Bao finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Liu Yijin was a little panicked.
This was the first time he encountered something life-threatening when he came to this world. He turned and walked towards Wang Ying's room.
Wang Ying was talking to the maid in the room. When she heard Liu Yijin coming, she hurriedly walked out: "Yijin, what happened?"
"Li Ping'er ran away."
"What?"
Wang Ying was stunned for a moment, and her expression suddenly became serious: "When did it happen?"
"Just when the prison van left Qinghe Town, I guessed it was related to Yuan Zhen who escaped."
Wang Ying's eyes were blazing: "Liu Yijin, if you were Li Ping'er, where would you go next?"
"Of course it's the safest and most familiar place..."
Liu Yijin had a look of shock on his face: "You mean Li Ping'er is near Qinghe Town?"
Wang Ying nodded: "Qinghe Town is not far from the border. Those people were able to rescue Li Ping'er so quickly, which only explains two things."
"Li Ping'er's identity is very important, otherwise he wouldn't have taken such a big risk to rescue her."
"The time from Yuan Zhen's escape in the morning to the rescue in the afternoon was very hasty, but the other party should be well prepared. This shows that the stronghold of Maitreya Buddhism is within the radius of Qinghe Town."
Wang Ying's calm analysis calmed Liu Yijin's beating heart: "Madam, what you said makes sense, but what should we do? Are we waiting for Li Ping'er to show up?"
"if not?"
Wang Ying glanced at Liu Yijin indifferently: "Our guards in the Zhou Mansion are all farmers, and they are no match for those people. You don't know martial arts. Although I have some internal strength, I can't deal with many people who come and go. People, I’m afraid it’s more bad than good.”
"Yi Jin, you are the backbone of the house, what do you think we should do better?"
Liu Yijin's forehead was sweating a little. He used to be a long-term worker, but now he is asked to lead the people of the Zhou family against the Jianghu people? No matter how you look at it, this is the rhythm of seeking death.
"Madam, what do you think is appropriate?"
Wang Ying sighed quietly: "One pound, we have very few cards in our hands. Unless you can recruit Jianghu people or get Liu Zhixian to send troops to protect you, otherwise, our Zhou family may really be in danger this time."
Liu Yijin said nervously: "Then I will go find the mayor now!"
"etc!"
Wang Ying pulled Liu Yijin: "You can't go now, we still have things to prepare."
Wang Ying returned to the inner room and took out a few gold bars: "I only have a few gold bars here. When you go to see the mayor, take out one and ask the town to send troops to protect our Zhou family. You can keep the others." , if you see Magistrate Liu in the future, send them all away."
Liu Yijin was slightly stunned: "Why give so many gifts? Actually..."
"Idiot!" Wang Ying couldn't help but nodded Liu Yijin's forehead: "Why are you so stupid? If you worry about money at this time, you would be a bit stupid."
Liu Yijin nodded: "Madam, what you said makes sense, I'll be there right away."
Watching Liu Yijin leave in a hurry, Wang Ying suddenly remembered her bellyband. She always felt awkward after being touched by this guy, and she couldn't help but squirm again.
When Liu Yijin arrived at the yamen gate, some yamen servants came in and out, and Zhou Bao walked around the room nervously.
"Brother Yijin, why did you come here?"
Liu Yijin took Zhou Bao to the eaves and stuffed a gold bar over without leaving any trace: "You can use this gold bar."
Zhou Bao was stunned: "Brother, what do you mean?"
"Sir, now that Maitreya Buddhism has surfaced, the safety of Qinghe Town has been threatened. As your family's charitable home, my Zhou family naturally has to make more contributions to our town!"
Zhou Bao hurriedly postponed: "This is impossible. If Master Liu and Master Wei find out about this, I will be scolded."
Liu Yijin stuffed the gold bars into Zhou Bao's arms: "You know this and I know it. Besides, Qinghe Town has always been united. If we can unite as one this time and catch all these evil cult members, my position will definitely be shaken."
Zhou Bao's eyes lit up and he took a deep look at Liu Yijin: "Brother Yijin's words touched my heartstrings. If we can use this opportunity to wipe out this cult, it will be a great achievement, and it will affect the whole body."
"At that time, not only Master Liu and Master Wei will think highly of us, but this matter will even alarm the court, and Prince Su may be released from prison."
Night fell slowly, and many candles and torches were lit in the Zhou Mansion.
After receiving the news, Song Lian, Sun Sangxiang, and Wang Ying no longer lived in their own small courtyards. The three ladies all slept in a large room. The maids lived in the outhouse, and the guards patrolling outside kept going back and forth.
After Song Lian washed up, she sat there with a frown on her face. Sun Sangxiang beside her also obediently said nothing, and Wang Ying walked slowly in the room.
"Wang Ying, why hasn't Yijin come back yet?"
Wang Ying glanced at the sky and said, "Maybe it's almost time. Wait a little longer."
Song Lian frowned: "Our Zhou family has never encountered such a serious matter. Now the family doesn't know how to deal with it. If this pound never comes back, what will we do if a thief really jumps into our house."
Sun Sangxiang's eyes flashed and she shook her head confidently: "Sister, don't panic. There are so many people outside. I don't think the thief dares to come over. Besides, hasn't the mayor already sent a patrol team? They are patrolling the town. Woolen cloth."
Song Lian sighed: "Although I said that, I'm afraid that Li Ping'er will be in trouble if he plays with his life again."
Just as he was talking, there was a sound outside, and then Erzhuzi hurried in: "Brother Yijin, the Yamen has been attacked."
Everyone was stunned and immediately felt that something was wrong.
"What's going on? Hasn't the mayor arranged for patrols?"
Song Lian turned pale with fright and looked at Liu Yijin in panic: "Yijin, what are we going to do? Those people dare to attack even the Yamen, they will definitely massacre our Zhou Mansion!"
