But even though he complained, Lai Weiqi didn't dare to do anything. He sat by the window, staring at the table in front of him with a gloomy expression, and suddenly reached out and overturned the whole table.
So frustrating!
He stood up and staggered out.
The shopkeeper of the Lion House came over in a hurry, still smiling, not affected by the recent events at all. He asked him with a smile: "Sir, why don't you stay for a while? Are you leaving now?"
Lai Weiqi felt a little relieved. Lately, he was treated as a plague god wherever he went. Only this shopkeeper knew how to behave.
He casually reached out and pulled out a silver note worth one hundred taels and threw it toward the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper quickly reached out to take it, and looking at the denomination in his hand, his smile became more sincere: "Thank you for your generosity, sir. Have a safe trip, sir. I'll come again next time."
This one hundred taels of silver is more than enough to buy two more sets of cups like that.
Lai Weiqi waved his hand and walked out, but after getting on the horse he looked around in confusion.
Go to the Pacification Office
But now he is a man embroiled in lawsuits. Originally, there was a position of commander-in-chief in the Jinyiwei, but the previous commander-in-chief died, and the position of commander-in-chief fell to the eunuch Chen, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Stables.
But it's just a title, the real things are handled by him and Song Heng.
But this time, Eunuch Chen had told him not to go to the Zhenfu Division in the near future.
He couldn't go to the Pacification Office, so he had to return to his own residence.
However, as soon as he returned, he found the house in a mess, as if it had been robbed by bandits. When he asked, he found out that Mrs. Lai took advantage of his absence and brought her family back to move the dowry and also took away the people she had brought with her as a dowry. As a result, such a huge mansion was in a mess.
He was furious, but he didn't dare to rush to the Qiu family to cause trouble at this critical juncture. He had to run out again with an irritated temper, and rode his horse for a long time, feeling indignant.
What went wrong
It's just a painting, why did it cause such a big fuss!
He had been running for a long time and didn't know where to go. Suddenly, someone grabbed his horse's head and blocked his way. He immediately became angry and wanted to scold, but when he saw the face of the person, he changed his attitude. The two looked at each other silently. Lai Weiqi returned to his lazy look and followed the man not far away. After walking for a while, he abandoned the horse and walked, turned into an alley, and walked around to a house. When he was about to knock on the door, he suddenly felt a strong wind from behind.
After all, he had many years of experience and was very skilled in martial arts. He immediately realized something was wrong, and suddenly turned sideways, and his left hand swung a punch behind him like lightning.
However, this punch hit a hard rock. Even with his kung fu skills, he couldn't help but feel the blood rushing up, and he stepped back three steps.
He stabilized his lower body and looked up at his opponent. Seeing that his face was covered with a black cloth, he could not see it clearly. His heart skipped a beat and he asked gloomily, "Who are you?!"
But it was obvious that he would not get an answer to his question, as the opponent kept coming at him with fierce and deadly attacks, leaving him unable to defend himself.
No wonder they came here, this place is where all kinds of people gather, it is very lively at night but not very crowded during the day, and what's more terrible is that no outsiders can come here.
His mind raced, and he began to fight with the opponent with all his might.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and moved swiftly. Although the opponent was very skilled, he was still more skilled. Taking advantage of the opponent's elbows to block, he used the force to leap onto the top of the wall, then bent down and ran quickly on the top of the wall.
Not long after he walked away, he heard a strange sound of wind behind him, and something was flying towards him. He subconsciously turned his head, and an arrow brushed past his ear. He felt a sharp pain in his ear.
Damn it!
He cursed in his heart and sped up his movements, but no matter how hard he tried to dodge, he was still hit by an arrow in the shoulder. He clenched his fists in pain and fell off the wall.
With the memory of previous cases, he recalled the surrounding terrain, gritted his teeth, and slipped into an ordinary house.
After an unknown amount of time, he huddled behind someone's firewood pile, gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow from his shoulder himself, then leaned against the cold wall with a heavy look in his eyes and panted for a long time.
Fortunately, he always carried medicine with him. After a while, he finally felt better. He took out the golden medicine in his arms and sprinkled it on the wound. He gritted his teeth and waited until night fell. The underground gambling houses and brothels in the Colosseum nearby were open, and it was already very lively outside. He found an opportunity and returned to his mansion under the cover of night and the crowd.
Lai Weiqi felt that everything was in turmoil. Xu Yonghong also stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at his subordinate, and asked coldly, "What did you say? Someone is missing?"
Huang Bingsen lowered his head and said, "My Lord, it's my fault for not doing my job well!"
Xu Yonghong is strict with his subordinates. He doesn't listen to explanations. He only cares about the results. Failure is failure.
The atmosphere in the room was cold and solemn. After a long while, Xu Yonghong said coldly: "No matter what method you use, I don't want to make any more mistakes!"
If the first attack fails and Lai Weiqi strikes back, things will be troublesome.
Huang Bingsen responded quickly.
He turned around to leave, but was stopped by Xu Yonghong. He then waited respectfully for Xu Yonghong's instructions.
Xu Yonghong frowned slightly, and after a moment asked, "What is the Su family doing now?"
Huang Bingsen breathed a sigh of relief, but still replied seriously: "The Su family did not do anything special, and everything went smoothly."
"Tell him to hide for me!" Xu Yonghong's eyes were heavy and his tone was firm: "If he is found out before everything is arranged and ruins my plan, I will kill him!"
Huang Bingsen shuddered, his whole body tensed up, and he responded heavily.
After he left, Xu Yonghong rubbed his eyebrows and returned to the backyard.
Mrs. Xu was accompanying Xu Rui to apply medicine.
Every time Xu Rui applied medicine, it was like another torture. There was no good skin on his back. After two months of treatment, he was barely better than when he first came out. He was still very weak. After applying the medicine, he saw that Madam Xu looked gloomy, so he smiled and comforted her: "Don't be sad, mother. No matter what, the current situation is much better than before. Although it is still not fully recovered, didn't the imperial physician say that it won't be far away."
Xu Yonghong just walked in and took over his son's words: "That's right, A Rui is right, only those who endure hardships can become the best. If you endure this period, you won't have to suffer anymore in the future."
