When Li Zhengyi went back, it was more than an hour after noon. He saw that the door was still locked and he didn't know if Pan Jinlian was there. Li Zhengyi still avoided the pedestrians and prepared to climb in from the backyard.
But he didn't expect that the door to the backyard was unlocked. After looking around and finding nothing unusual, Li Zhengyi quietly slipped in and quickly closed the door.
The same goes for the door to the back room, which opened with a slight push.
"Ms. sir, you're back!"
Pan Jinlian was sitting nervously in front of the table, with a large package placed on it. She was wearing a man's coarse cloth, which seemed a bit inappropriate.
After seeing Li Zhengyi, her pretty face immediately became extremely surprised, and she threw herself into Li Zhengyi's arms.
"It's great that your husband is fine, but the slave family is worried to death."
Li Zhengyi just gave him a polite hug and let go, but unexpectedly Pan Jinlian hugged him tightly and wouldn't let go.
After all, they were half acquaintances, and Li Zhengyi didn't want to make the situation too tense, so he could only frown and endure her somewhat inexplicable behavior.
"Ms. sir, what about Ximen Qing...?"
After a while, the two sat down in the room. Pan Jinlian poured a glass of water and wine for Li Zhengyi, and then asked him hesitantly.
As soon as Li Zhengyi relaxed his brows, he frowned again. He felt more and more that "Ms.-in-law" was not a good title. He said with some displeasure: "I told you not to call me Mr.-in-law, but to call me eldest brother."
Pan Jinlian's bright face looked a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare not listen to Li Zhengyi's words. She just thought he liked the tone, so she shyly called out softly: "Brother..."
…
Regarding the killing of Ximen Qing, Li Zhengyi did not go into too much detail. He simply said that he was beheaded in public under the Lion Tower.
After Pan Jinlian heard this, she did not have any sad expression. Instead, her face was filled with admiration for Li Zhengyi.
It would have been impossible not to mention her and Ximen Qing, not to mention that she was originally a ruthless person, and now her whole life is tied to Li Zhengyi, and she is just happy that his great revenge has been avenged.
Pan Jinlian thought that no wonder Li Zhengyi asked her to go to a dental store to sell the house early. It turned out that he was so confident.
He is really a brave and resourceful man, and he is so handsome, so he is really likeable.
But now that the matter has been done, what’s next...
"My...eldest...brother..."
Pan Jinlian was still a little uncomfortable with this title. She hesitated twice before continuing: "Since Ximen Qing has been killed, should we move away? Otherwise, the police might come here to look for him. You?"
Li Zhengyi originally thought that the people in the government were not so fast and were a little lax, so he thought it would be okay to spend another night secretly.
What's more, he has a system by his side, and if something goes wrong, he can still find an opportunity to come back.
But after Pan Jinlian said this, he felt that it would be better to be cautious. If something happened and it would drag others down, the remaining six days would be wasted.
"Did the people at Yaxing say when they can find someone to buy the house?"
I wanted to ask about the situation and make some plans, but Pan Jinlian said that she sold the house in just half a day.
"My dear friend... you said you were in such a hurry that I went to Yaxing early in the morning. I might have had to wait for a few days, but when I was leaving, I happened to meet someone who needed to buy a house."
"So the slave family took it upon themselves to sell the house to him at a cheaper price. The man had already viewed the house and paid the money, saying that he would move in tomorrow."
"The slave family also gave him the house deed and keys. You won't be angry with the slave family, right?"
angry? Isn’t it too late to praise?
The money was not intended for his own use and he could not take it back, but Li Zhengyi was still a little surprised by Pan Jinlian's mobility.
I thought that, needless to say, this Pan Jinlian's appearance is excellent no matter what. But apart from that, I didn't expect that she was so alert and decisive.
In addition, she suppressed the ruthlessness in her bones to achieve her goals by any means. If you were born in such an environment in the future, you would definitely be able to do great things, and it is very possible that you might even become a famous female star.
Pan Jinlian didn't know how differently Li Zhengyi looked at her, but she honestly reported the process and results of selling the house.
"The slave thought that we would definitely not be able to take away these furniture items, so he gave them to him at a discount. Including the house, we sold them for a total of eighty taels of silver."
He looked up at Li Zhengyi and explained: "I might have been able to get more than ten taels of silver if I delayed a little longer, but I was afraid of wasting your time, so I agreed to give him the eighty taels."
"good!"
Li Zhengyi just said the word "good". He was talking about Pan Jinlian and at the same time he thought the price was also good.
With this money, plus what he originally had and what Pan Jinlian brought here, he should be able to buy a small house even in Tokyo.
But at this time, he would not be stupid enough to buy a house in Tokyo. If he wanted to buy a house, he would definitely go to Hangzhou.
Not only can you buy a relatively larger house, but you can even have some leftover to do some small business. Why not?
Not to mention that Hangzhou will be renamed Lin'an soon.
Although I have some other thoughts in my mind, the more important thing now is to leave quickly and don't really get stuck in this house by the officials.
So the two of them disguised themselves, took all their gold and silver, and left the house that had been sold.
Avoiding the eyes of pedestrians all the way to Zishi Street, she originally wanted to hide in Wu Dalang's house, but Pan Jinlian happened to have the key with her.
But there were a lot of pedestrians on the street now, and it was still too conspicuous to go there now, so he turned into Lion Alley under the leadership of Li Zhengyi.
The door of Uncle He Jiu's house was open, and they just knocked on the door and walked in.
"You two are..."
Because the person next to him was completely different and because he had changed his clothes, Uncle He Jiu couldn't recognize Li Zhengyi for a while.
But when the visitor took off his straw hat to reveal his fair and handsome face, coupled with the dazzling word "Jie" on his forehead, Uncle He Jiu couldn't help but shout: "Brother Li!?"
Suddenly thinking of something, he quickly ran to the front and took a look before closing the door tightly.
"Sit down, sit down, brother Li, you are really..."
Uncle He Jiu was a little excited, but he still didn't dare to say what was in his heart.
Li Zhengyi killed Ximen Qing in the street and chopped off his head with a sword. Because Ximen Qing had always been famous in Yanggu County, the news spread quickly like the wind.
There are various versions circulating, but all of them say how fierce and brave Li Zhengyi is.
In Uncle He Jiu's mind, his danger level has risen several levels.
"This brother is...Ms. Pan?!"
After a while, in the same exclamation, Uncle He Jiushu also recognized Pan Jinlian who took off her headscarf.
I couldn't help but shout, what on earth is going on with Brother Li?
I had just taken Wu Dalang away from his house during the day, and in the afternoon he brought someone else's wife with him.
What does this mean for his family?
