The men's eyes lit up when they saw the banknotes she took out, "This is still five hundred taels short."
"I know. I'll give this to you first. When you come back in two days, I will supply you with the rest."
Several grown men glanced at Lin Dongyao who was standing behind Zhuzhu, saw him blinking, and immediately agreed, "Okay, then we'll come back in two days. Little girl, you have to prepare some money, brother. Let’s go.”
As soon as they left, Lin Dongyao immediately squatted on the ground and hugged Zhuzhu, "It's good that you are here today, otherwise I might really be beaten to death by them."
"But... those five hundred taels should be all your silver. There are still five hundred taels left... I will find a way myself." The man pretended to be embarrassed.
This made Zhuzhu more determined to repay his debt, but then her cleverness came out again, "How on earth do you owe them so much money?"
"Sigh... I was also a useless person before. I started a business with others. Unexpectedly, I lost all my money before the business was completed. Then I was depressed for a while, so I sold my family property and gambled... Later I realized that I I can't go on like this, and I want to do business, but I have nothing, and I can't even get out the principal. I can only find a way to find someone to borrow money, but their profit margins are too much...it just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and it becomes what it is now. .”
Of course, Lin Dongyao made this up casually. He could pick up as many stories as he wanted.
Unexpectedly, Zhuzhu, who had always been alert, had no suspicion at all this time, and was really blinded by the inexplicable emotions.
"Why are you helping me, Zhuzhu... You and I have nothing to do with each other. There is no need for you to wade into this muddy water." The man's eyes were full of guilt at this time.
This expression made Zhuzhu feel even more sorry for him, "Because you were the first person to be so kind to me. You took me in when I was desperate, gave me food and shelter... I still understand how to repay kindness. "
What she said to Lin Dongyao today, the secret guard of the Princess Mansion told Wen Yuan word for word.
"Oh, she really can't understand. She doesn't remember Qiuyue's kindness to her at all when she was alive. Others teased her like a dog, but she has learned to be grateful."
Who says it's not the case? Chunhua was sighing as she listened.
She turned her face to Falcon and said, "Go and keep an eye on the nearby bank."
The next day, Zhuzhu took her gold tickets to the bank to exchange for some gold ingots, but the boss of the bank refused to receive her because she was too young, "Go and ask your adults to come."
Zhuzhu had no choice but to return to the house with the golden ticket. Lin Dongyao didn't see the scene in his imagination and his expression was not good. "What's wrong?" However, he suppressed his emotions and asked patiently: "Is it from the bank? The boss thinks you are too young and refuses to change?"
"How do you know?" Zhuzhu raised her head and looked at the man with tears in her eyes.
Lin Dongyao wiped away the tears on her face with his hands and said in a good voice: "It's normal. After all, you are a child holding a golden ticket. They must be wary. I will go with you later. Let's eat first." "
Zhuzhu raised her eyes and looked pitiful, "Don't you blame me?"
"How could I blame you?" He reached out and stroked Zhuzhu's hair, "It's not your fault, and it's not a big deal in the first place."
Seeing his attitude, Zhuzhu breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid of being disliked by Lin Dongyao because of today's incident.
That night, Lin Dongyao quietly slipped out of the house after Zhuzhu fell asleep. His every move was under the surveillance of Wen Yuan's secret guard, but the man didn't know it.
He found the group of brothers who had cooperated with his acting in the morning and said, "Brothers, you have gained a lot. Just wait, I will trick her out of all her gold, silver and jewelry, and we will make a fortune."
Looking at the five hundred taels of silver taken out from the bank today, Lin Dongyao grinned from the corners of his mouth to his ears, "With this silver, what do we want? Let's go and drink."
Lin Dongyao originally planned to take Zhuzhu to the bank to get the gold early the next morning, but unexpectedly, the boss of every bank told him that he could not exchange it.
"Why? Is it possible that this golden ticket is fake?" He looked at the bank owner excitedly.
"That's not true. It's just that there are new regulations. You can only exchange it if you can provide evidence to prove that this golden ticket is yours. You don't want to embarrass me, right?"
Every store is like this. The boss of every store said that there are new regulations, but Lin Dongyao has never heard of these bullshit regulations. "This is also a temporary addition. The boss has spoken, and those of us who make a living under the boss have no choice." Dare to disobey."
"It's really strange. Why is every bank like this?" The man suddenly realized that someone was behind the scenes.
He grabbed Zhuzhu's shoulders and shook her hard, "You go to the princess's mansion now and let Wen Yuan find a way to prove that she gave you this golden ticket."
"I...I promised that as long as she gives me this gold and silver, I will never step into the princess's mansion again. What if she asks someone to kill me if I go like this? She is Wen Yuan..."
He really has random thoughts, the secret guard at the top said to himself.
At this moment, the man also completely exposed his true face.
He looked at Zhuzhu with a ferocious expression, "If you don't take out this gold today, just wait."
Zhuzhu had never seen Lin Dongyao look so crazy, and was frightened by him, "You... let me go! Let me go, you're hurting me."
She struggled for a long time before Lin Dongyao realized that she had failed to control her emotions, and then apologized to Zhuzhu.
But Zhuzhu no longer believed him this time. She had completely seen through the man's lies.
"You...let me go, I'm tired, I want to go back..."
As she said that, she stumbled away towards the house. Lin Dongyao followed her in stride. At this moment, he already knew that the girl wanted to go back, pack her things and escape.
He was always only a few steps away from Zhuzhu, and Zhuzhu also realized that he was not wise in judging people... and now he had completely fallen into the man's trap.
Since he could keep tolerating himself like this, it must be for deeper interests. At this moment, Zhuzhu thought of the only five hundred taels of gold she had left.
After returning to the house, she immediately packed her things, and after seeing Lin Dongyao, she immediately put the baggage behind her, "Can you please let me go? The group of people who came last time should be cooperating with you in acting." ? I already gave you five hundred taels, can you let me live?"
"We have always only sought wealth, not life. Now hand over all the valuable things you have on you, and then take out your golden ticket, and I can let you go."
Speaking of the golden ticket, the girl subconsciously covered her purse, "I...but I have already given it to you, doesn't the five hundred taels count?"
She has now arrived at the point where Lin Dongyao and the group of men are basically the same group. She knows the use of passing by now, but it is already too late anyway.
"Why are you so disobedient? I said, give me your golden ticket."
Zhuzhu definitely couldn't just give him what she asked for. She picked up her baggage and prepared to run away. But seeing Lin Dongyao's calm expression, she knew that she wouldn't be able to leave today if she didn't hand over the golden ticket. Get out of this house.
The group of men who came yesterday had already gathered around the gate. "Give it to me quickly." Lin Dongyao stretched out his hand straight.
Before the girl could speak, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, and his outstretched hand was interrupted, "Ah!"
What followed was Lin Dongyao's violent cry, "What?! Are you all dead?! Come in and protect me!"
He pointed at Zhuzhu, suspecting that she did it, "How dare you, little thing, break my hand? Do you not want to live anymore?"
"When did I break your hand? Do you think I have the ability?" Zhuzhu shrugged and motioned for those present to look behind them.
She saw Falcon and Owl standing on the wall, one on the left and the other on the right. Zhuzhu thought they were coming to save her, so she waved to the two men, but neither of them looked at her.
"Don't waste your efforts. They probably just heard the noise here and came to take a look. Besides, why should they help you? After all, the relationship between you and Wen Yuan can only be said to be very bad."
Yes... Only then did Zhuzhu realize that the things she had done were not worthy of Wen Yuan coming to save her.
Her tears could no longer move the man in front of her this time. Just when Zhuzhu was about to hand over the golden ticket she finally got from Wen Yuan, the door was opened again.
But this time the person who came was no longer Lin Dongyao's brother, but - Wen Yuan.
"Miss, why did you come here in person? Didn't you tell me to leave the matter to me and Owl?"
As a matter of course, Wen Yuan approached the courtyard in full view of everyone, "You two are too slow, it's better for me to come in person."
She walked up to the man and stretched out her hand, "Where is my princess's money? Come back."
Lin Dongyao didn't react for a while, "What kind of money..."
"I gave Zhuzhu five hundred taels of silver, but because she is not a child without a hairpin and has no basic judgment about things and people, it seems that the silver has already belonged to her, but it is still mine, so, Where is my money?"
After hearing what the man said, he looked at each other with his brothers, "We...we didn't take your money at all, don't frame us!"
"Oh, really?" Wen Yuan was too lazy to deal with such a rogue, "Then I'll go directly to the government and see what they say."
They knew that as long as Wen Yuan brought the matter to the government, it would not be easy for the government to take advantage of her status to deal with them, so when they heard that Wen Yuan was going to report to the government, they immediately blocked her way.
"No, no, no, no, Princess Xianyang, we have something to talk about."
