"What are you looking at?"
Several scholars were a little frightened when they saw the shining knife, but they didn't want to be compared with a girl, so they could only force themselves to ask.
"Of course it's this knife." Although the girl didn't say any more sarcasm, the expression of hatred on her face only made the scholars even more embarrassed.
"Forget it, let me ask directly, do you think this knife is sharp?"
The three scholars looked at each other, and after a while they said, "The edge... is sharp."
They could still see this, because the knife was shining with cold light, which made people frightened just by looking at it.
"But sharpness doesn't mean anything." A scholar was still unconvinced.
"Of course, being sharp doesn't mean that these guys deserved it, but sharpness can at least show that the owner of the knife cares about his knife and polishes it very frequently. Do you have any objections?"
The scholars nodded blankly.
"Then if you look carefully, do you see the small gaps on the blade?"
The scholars nodded again, feeling that the girl was becoming more and more like an old gentleman in a private school, enlightening a group of ineffective urchins below.
"A knife that has been polished so diligently has a gap on it, indicating that the gap was left recently. And the owner of this knife cherishes it so much. Obviously he will not use it to chop any grass, trees and livestock, so there is only one This explains it...these gaps were left by people who had cut them off."
The girl's calm words made the three scholars break into a cold sweat.
And that wasn't the end yet, the girl continued, "Haha, and you have to remember that he sharpened the knife very diligently. The gaps on the knife can only show that he has killed several people recently. As for how many he killed before... then Just make your own guesses."
After saying that, the woman no longer cared about the stunned scholars and walked towards her seat.
After taking a step, he seemed to remember something and tilted his head again.
"Oh, by the way, if you don't believe in the key, you can still search the corpses. You will definitely find things in there that don't belong to their identities. Don't worry, they are all stolen goods.
"In addition, if you look carefully, it is probably not difficult to find blood stains on their clothes...
"Let me tell you straight, if it weren't for Mr. Lu, every one of the people on the boat today, whether you three fools or a girl as smart as me, would have died at the hands of these people.
"Besides, it doesn't matter if you die, it's just a matter of one knife. Once your head is gone, you won't know anything anymore. We women are the ones who are really unlucky. We may suffer some humiliation before we die."
The girl sighed and continued, "And if Mr. Lu listens to your words and lets this gang of murderous gangsters go, we will be fine.
"But even if the people who died tragically at their hands before died in vain, no one would avenge them, and this group of people will definitely continue to cause trouble on the river in the future.
"More innocent people will die in their hands...
"My grandma is an old woman. She has been fasting and chanting Buddha's name all her life. She has a soft heart. Coupled with her age, her eyesight is also blurred. It is understandable that she cannot recognize good people and bad people.
"But you three scholars, you are so young, why are your eyes and hearts so blind?"
The girl's blunt words made the scholars want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
In the end, it was the scholar known as Zong Ju who was the first to hold up his hands and smile bitterly.
"It is true that we were wrong this time. Thank you girl for the pointer. Otherwise, the three of us three idiots would still be complacent about helping the tyrants and underestimate the heroes of the world.
"On the other hand, you, girl, although you are young, your observation skills are so good and your mind is a hundred times clearer than mine. I wonder if I can boldly ask, who is your father?"
"I'm far behind compared to my father. My father is..."
"Lili!" The girl was mid-sentence when she suddenly heard the lady speak again and said with a straight face, "Have you forgotten what your father explained in the letter?"
"Oh." The girl named Lili didn't talk back this time. It seemed that the word "daddy" had some magic power, making her obediently sit back next to her mother.
"You girl," the lady shook her head, seemingly helpless.
"I don't study well all the time, I don't work as a female celebrity, and I don't like to read poetry... I just like to hang out with gangsters and policemen. I also learned from the policeman that I am eloquent and unreasonable. How can I get married if I go on like this? Need to go out?”
"What's the point of getting married?" the girl named Lili murmured in a low voice, "and those scholars are like goose-headed geese. It's annoying to look at. They are full of empty talk and principles. Hey, I'm not talking about you. Three."
It's okay that she didn't say the last sentence, but the three scholars only felt more embarrassed after saying this.
My face was red because of what happened before, but now I feel even more uncomfortable.
Finally they couldn't stay any longer, so they all got up and fled back to the house.
"I feel much more comfortable now." Lili sighed with satisfaction.
When the lady saw this, she felt angry and funny.
"You like to talk so much. Then when you meet Lu Shaoxia later, you can go and apologize to him on behalf of the old lady.
"No matter what, they saved us this time, so let's forget it if we didn't thank them, and let them suffer the old lady's eyes for nothing.
"You scolded those scholars so heartily just now, have you ever thought that our family has gone too far than others?
"Sigh... The old lady is indeed old and has a stubborn temper. She probably wouldn't be able to keep her face off even if she knew she was wrong.
"It's up to you to take action. Unfortunately, we don't have anything to repay Lu Shaoxia now. Let's tell your father about this when we get to the capital and see if there's anything we can do to help.
"Saving a life is a great kindness, we can't be ungrateful."
When Lili heard this, instead of feeling embarrassed by the request, her eyes lit up again.
He stood up from his position and said enthusiastically, "Then I'll go now."
However, before she could take a step forward, she was grabbed by the lady with sharp eyes and quick hands, "Where are you going?!"
"Go to Shaoxia Lu to apologize." The girl was confused, "Didn't you ask me to go, mother?"
"Did I let you go now?" The noble lady felt that sooner or later she would be angered to death by her daughter.
"You're a big boss now. Did I teach you how to protect men and women in vain? Young Master Lu is in his own room now. Now, don't you become a man and a woman alone in the same room?"
"Huh?" Li Li, who had previously been quarreling with the Confucian scholars, was slower than anyone else on this matter. He scratched his head and said, "It's just a few words, that's not it."
"You, you!" the noble lady stamped her feet anxiously, "You are just being spoiled by your father. Even if you were a wild man in the place before, for your father's sake, no one will pick you up." Let go, but what we are going to now is at the feet of the emperor.
"The capital is the seat of the world's most powerful people, and every move you make is watched. Your father is doing something that offends people. We can forget about it if we can't help him. We can't cause him any more trouble.
"When you get back, I don't think you'll go out again. When will you memorize the "Female Commandments" and "Female Training" for me, when will you be able to leave the house."
"No way." Lili wailed, feeling that her whole body was not well.
