There was nothing much going on in the winter, and there were more idle people on the street than in the past. From the moment the incident happened to now, in just a moment, there were already a hundred or so people gathered in front of me.
Each of these people stretched their necks and looked at the man on the ground gossiping.
The man was probably in his early thirties and was wearing linen clothes. In this season, anyone wearing cotton and linen clothes would be shivering from the cold, but this man was only wearing a single layer of linen clothes.
Looking at his messy hair that had not been washed for an unknown amount of time, everyone could already guess where he came from without even asking about his identity.
There is a Tutu Temple five miles away from the outskirts of Beijing. There are many beggars living there. Their clothes are very different from this person's.
"Tell your master to come out. If you don't pay money today, you won't be able to leave."
Seeing that no one answered him after calling for a while, the man suddenly became unhappy, so he angrily yelled at the carriage, "Is this what you dare to do, girl of the Tao family? I only have one life, but the Tao family The girl has a noble status, but if her reputation is ruined because of a little person like me..."
"Shut up, who do you think you are? How dare you threaten my young lady."
Qiu Gui helped Tao Yaoyao out of the carriage, and when she heard what the gangster said, she yelled back angrily.
The gangster was quite angry at first, but after seeing Tao Yaoyao coming down, he suddenly became flattering, "Miss, this matter can be easily solved today. As long as you give me one hundred taels of silver, we will pretend that this matter is nothing." happened before."
The gangster looked at her with shining eyes, as if he was not looking at Tao Yaoyao, but a rich scapegoat.
But Tao Yaoyao didn't want to be taken advantage of at all. What's more, if someone wanted to disgust her, of course she couldn't do nothing and just stand here obediently waiting to be bullied.
She, Tao Yaoyao, had been bullied. Even if she couldn't take revenge immediately, she would still try her best to let the person know that she was not someone to bully.
"One hundred taels of silver?" Tao Yaoyao let go of Qiu Gui and came to the gangster's side. He squatted down and glanced at the gangster's covered legs. Then he glanced at his rosy face. Although he was smiling, He said, "You probably don't know that this young lady is very proficient in the art of differentiating yellow.
Let’s not talk about whether what happened today was my coachman’s fault. As a doctor, when he sees someone being injured, he naturally cannot sit idly by and do nothing. "
The gangster didn't expect Tao Yaoyao to act so unconventionally. Ordinary people would definitely choose to keep things quiet if they encountered this kind of thing.
He had not left as the man wanted, he just wanted to make more money and go back to Maodong, but now...
Creak.
ah……
Amidst the gangster's heart-rending screams, everyone heard a click, and then saw Tao Yaoyao standing up with a smile and clapping her hands.
"Okay, now your leg is indeed broken."
What?
The sound they just heard was not the sound of Tao Yaoyao setting his bones, but... No, didn't this gangster say before that his leg was broken by a carriage?
so……
"You deserve it, you lied to me."
"Oh my God, Miss Tao is so fierce. This is the first time I have met someone who is so calm after being blackmailed."
"One hundred taels of silver buys a leg. This deal... is not a good deal at all."
The onlookers could feel the gangster's heart-rending pain just by looking at him, so as the person involved, he must be in great pain.
However, he deserved it.
"Here, one hundred taels of silver." Tao Yaoyao happily took out one hundred taels of silver and handed it to him.
The gangster's goal was achieved, but he couldn't be happy at all. When he received the banknote, his expression was filled with sadness. He thought the matter would be over here, but who knew that after Tao Yaoyao gave him the banknote, he started talking about the car crash.
"You said you were hit by the Tao family's carriage, right?" Tao Yaoyao looked at her with a half-smile, and her spring-like expression made people feel comfortable.
But after the current gangster experienced the horrific scene just now, when he saw her like this again, he felt that it was more terrifying than the evil ghosts crawling up from hell.
He should have nodded, but for some reason, he just couldn't lower his head.
Seeing this, Tao Yaoyao's smile became even brighter, "What, but you also have a problem with your neck? Do you need me to press on it for you?"
Tao Yaoyao said that he was going to help him. The gangster was so frightened that he dragged his broken leg and ran away for a few meters. After making sure that Tao Yaoyao was not chasing him, he bit his back teeth and sighed.
"Why are you running away? I am doing this to tell you the truth."
"No need." At the end of the inquiry, he still didn't know who told whom the truth. He just wanted to spend the winter, not lie down for the rest of his life.
After the gangster finished speaking, he crawled to leave through the crowd. Tao Yaoyao quit after seeing this.
"Wait a minute." Tao Yaoyao walked over and stood in front of him, looking at him condescendingly, and said word by word, "Your question doesn't need an answer, but this lady's doubts have not been solved yet.
Driver Wang is an old man from my Tao family. He has never had an accident in these years of driving. There are many people on the street today, and he is driving very slowly. According to the speed of the car, even if you have no time to dodge and are hit by a car, at this speed, It can't hit you either. "
After saying that, Tao Yaoyao looked at the driver and said, "Tell me about the situation just now..."
"No need." The gangster finally figured out that Tao Yaoyao knew something and wanted to know the purpose of his appearance here. If he didn't tell him, he wouldn't be able to leave today.
But if he had said it, his life would have been spared.
So he clasped his fists in an almost pleading manner, "Miss Tao, what happened today is all Xiao's fault. Xiao Xiao really knows that he was wrong. Please forgive Xiao Xiao this time."
Seeing that Tao Yaoyao didn't say anything, he finally gave up and didn't even ask for the banknote.
"I'll return the banknote to you. Can you let me go?"
"That's not good." Tao Yaoyao looked at him and continued, "You should have thought about the consequences before doing this, and you regret it now. Isn't it too late?
However, I am not a reluctant person. I will ask you a question later. For your part, as long as you tell the truth, I promise to let you leave here safely. Otherwise... I heard that the winter in the prison is much better than the winter in the ruined temple. It should be good for you to change places. "
not good.
The gangster shook his head desperately.
He had been in prison, so he knew better what was going on there.
Tao Yaoyao was right when he said that the winter in the prison was indeed warmer than the winter in the ruined temple, but there was no freedom in the prison. The guards were moody and would beat prisoners at every turn.
People are prone to illness in winter, and he was beaten every three days in the prison. He was lucky to survive that year, but this kind of luck will not always follow him.
No one wants to die, not even him.
"Whatever the young lady wants to ask, I will tell you everything I can tell you."
"Your sudden appearance in front of my Tao family's carriage must have been planned for a long time." Tao Yaoyao looked at him and asked coldly.
The gangster glanced at the people watching, struggled for a while and nodded.
When the people watching saw this, they all looked in disbelief.
It turned out that all this was a conspiracy, and Miss Tao was being plotted. Fortunately, she was smart and could see through this gangster's mind at a glance. Otherwise, she would have been in big trouble today.
"That man asked you to stop my carriage and extort money. What else did he ask you to do after that?"
Tao Yaoyao didn't believe that the third prince could disgust him just that much.
Such a huge effort should be a series of plans.
This time, the gangster hesitated for a long time without saying a word. Gradually, Tao Yaoyao lost his patience, "Why, is this question difficult to answer? It seems that your throat is uncomfortable too, otherwise... "
The moment Tao Yaoyao squatted down, the gangster was like a frightened bird, trying to escape again, but Tao Yaoyao did not give him a chance this time. The moment their eyes met, Tao Yaoyao saw a clue in his frightened eyes.
"Don't dare to say? It seems that you are just a part of that person's plan. If I move forward, there will be another conspiracy waiting for me. As for what it is, you don't know, do you?"
The gangster didn't expect that she had guessed it by herself, and nodded desperately with gratitude.
Tao Yaoyao saw this and sneered, "He really thinks highly of me."
Chain meter.
Okay, then she will go and learn about his plan.
"Why are you still standing there? You want to watch a show too?"
Tao Yaoyao clapped his hands clean and when he was about to leave, he saw the gangster still crawling here and sneered.
After the gangster came to his senses, he climbed out of the crowd with all his strength. The people watching saw that the excitement was gone and were about to disperse. Tao Yaoyao gave Qiu Gui a look. After Qiu Gui understood, he immediately said loudly.
"Dear fellow villagers, my young lady has suffered such a miserable life, and now she is being tricked by someone like this... However, my young lady is kind-hearted and can't bear to embarrass the gangster just now.
But everyone has also heard that there is still trouble waiting for my young lady ahead.
This time, my lady was lucky. Under your guidance, my lady easily saw through this gangster's scheme. My lady is really grateful to you all. "
Qiu Gui said this and began to bow to the people around him.
Upstairs, Chang Geng looked puzzled when he saw this scene, "Miss Tao clearly saw through what happened just now. What does it have to do with these people? Why did she let her maid say this?"
Although Chang Geng didn't know what Tao Yaoyao was going to do, Chang Geng saw it when she winked at Qiu Gui just now.
Xie Lan stood aside and said calmly, "It's a bluff."
bluff?
"Master, what you mean is that Miss Tao wants to use these people to scare the people arranged by the third prince?"
After Chang Geng finished speaking, he felt that there was something wrong with this idea.
The third prince wants to deal with Tao Yaoyao, not these people. Even if they are here, those people will not be afraid of them.
not to mention……
