When Xie Yuan heard this, the expression on his face was obviously a little surprised.

"Did Lord Zhongshu Ling agree?"

Even though it was what Qin He had already expressed just now, Xie Yuan still couldn't help but ask again.

Hearing Xie Yuan's words, Qin He nodded.

"Of course I agree."

After receiving a positive answer again, Xie Yuan's face suddenly showed a touch of excitement, and two lines of tears fell from his eyes again.

For Xie Yuan, it doesn't matter who he asks for help. As long as he can get revenge, he won't hesitate even if he lets her die.

What's more, the only one in the capital who can help them now is Mr. Liu, Zhongshu Ling.

"Okay, you stay in this hotel for the next few days and don't go out! If you go out and are discovered by the Xie family, it will only be more difficult for us to investigate the truth back then."

Xie Yuan naturally knew and nodded immediately.

There are sixteen Xie's pawn shops in the capital.

Each pawn shop is controlled by the wives and concubines of the contemporary head of the Xie family.

To the north of the capital, close to the city wall, there is a pawn shop belonging to the Xie family.

The person who controls this pawn shop is the twelfth room of the Xie family.

But now the twelve rooms can be considered completely withered.

A year ago, someone from the Twelfth House of the Xie family stole the burial objects from the imperial mausoleum, causing the Twelfth House to fall completely.

Of course, not everyone in the Twelve Rooms is like this. Now there is only one lone seedling left in the Twelve Rooms, and that is Xie Xun, who currently controls the pawn shop.

Nowadays, Xie Xun's life is getting worse day by day, even though he was not implicated in that incident at the beginning.

But because the lineage of the Twelve Fangs had completely withered away, his life had long been worse than before, and he was severely suppressed by the other Fangs.

However, he did not feel dissatisfied with this. Instead, he felt happy.

Because now all the properties of Twelfth House have fallen into his hands.

No one can compare to other rooms, but it is definitely not comparable to some officials.

Xie Xun was also very satisfied with this.

Nowadays, the pawn shop under him is doing well thanks to the Xie family's name.

The shopkeeper who helps him manage the pawn shop is Xie Ping, who helped him in the first place.

Xie Ping did not have this name originally. The reason why he is named Xie now is actually related to what happened a year ago.

Because of his great achievements that time, he had just been awarded the title by Xie Xun.

And now the most lucrative pawn shop is left to him to take care of.

Nowadays, Xie Ping's life can be said to be extremely comfortable.

Not only did he have the support of Mr. Xie, but he also managed a pawn shop. Whether it was fame or fortune, he already had it all.

On weekdays, except for instructing the clerk to take care of the pawn shop, the rest of the time is spent in the brothel.

Life is good and happy.

However, as soon as Xie Ping came out of the brothel today, he was put in a sack from behind.

He really couldn't understand who in this capital would dare to do such a thing?

Even if he didn't say that he was in the capital, given his status as a member of the Xie family, no one would dare to touch him.

However, he couldn't figure it out. Xie Ping didn't want to be taken away so easily.

Thinking of Xie Ping, he started struggling crazily.

But before he could struggle twice, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then fell unconscious.

When he woke up again, Xie Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and realized that he was no longer in the city.

Xie Ping, who was squinting his eyes slightly, pretended not to wake up yet.

However, at this moment, a voice came into his ears.

"Okay! Stop pretending when you wake up!"

As the voice fell, Xie Ping felt severe pain in his body again.

This time, before Xie Ping could say anything, the severe pain came over him again.

For a moment, how could he endure such torture!

He immediately screamed and the sack bag on his head was removed.

Xie Ping also saw clearly the two people in front of him who had captured him.

One of them was middle-aged and looked to be in his thirties, while the other was a young man in his early twenties.

The people who kidnapped Xie Ping now were none other than Qin He and Li Yang.

Xie Ping kept searching for information about the two people in his mind, but what he got was nothing to do with the two people in front of him.

I can't even figure out how I offended the two people in front of me?

At that moment, Xie Ping was also able to bend and stretch. He knelt down on the ground and begged to the two people in front of him.

"You two gentlemen, I really can't figure out where I offended you? If there is anything I did wrong, just mention it! No matter what you ask for, I will agree to it!"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Ping found that the two people were still looking at him as if they were looking at him.

"Shopkeeper Xie is really courageous. He was ready to spend money to eliminate the disaster as soon as he came up. It's a pity that what we both seek is not money but... life!"

Hearing this, Xie Ping's face suddenly turned pale as paper.

"Two gentlemen, I have no grievances with you in the past. I think there must be some misunderstanding. If someone really invites you two to take my life, I am willing to pay double the price to buy my life." Dog life."

Listening to Xie Ping's words, Qin He couldn't help laughing.

However, it is not unexpected for the current situation. After all, when faced with life and death, any individual will do everything possible to survive.

Qin He looked at Xie Ping in front of him, chuckled, and then spoke.

"Oh! Shopkeeper Xie, how much do you think your life is worth?"

Hearing these words, Xie Ping's pale face turned a little red.

However, he is not afraid of the other party's price. What he is afraid of is asking him to make the price himself. After all, if he is given less, he will not be able to survive, but if he is given too much, he will feel heartbroken.

For a moment, Xie Ping was not sure how much the two people in front of him wanted.

When he heard Qin He say "How much do you think your life is worth?", he was already convinced that the two people in front of him were not what they said. They only wanted life and not wealth.

Seeing that there was still a glimmer of hope, Xie Ping gritted his teeth and said.

"One thousand taels! I am willing to pay one thousand taels to buy my life!"

When he said this, it was the limit of what he could bear.

It's not that his net worth is only this one thousand taels, but that he can give up to one thousand taels at most.

You must know that one thousand taels of silver is a lot of money. Even in this capital, it can definitely make many people struggle for a lifetime.

In his opinion, buying his own life is completely enough.

However, when Xie Ping looked at the two of them expectantly, he found that they were looking at him as if they were a fool.

This made Xie Ping suddenly have doubts in his mind.

You know, this is one thousand taels of silver! Why do the expressions of the two people in front of me...seem to not care at all?

Thinking of this, Xie Ping felt a chill on his back.

Could it be that the two people in front of them really wanted their lives and not their money?
