The scholar was very torn. On the one hand, he came here because the bandits threatened his mother's life, so he had no choice but to do so. Secondly, he knew the true identity of the bandit and the things in his hands were stained with the blood of who knows how many people, so from the bottom of his heart he did not want the couple opposite to buy them.

.

"If you don't have one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver, don't mention it."

The scholar thought that the bandits asked him to test the other party's strength. He pretended to embarrass the other party, and then went back to tell the bandits that the person who wanted to acquire did not have cash, so the bandits would not embarrass him.

In this way, neither side can do business, and the bandits' goods cannot be sold.

But this time, these people would have to be his neighbors all the time. When the scholar thought about it, he felt very upset. Who knows when that group of people would get into trouble, and they would pick up a machete and chop off his head like a vegetable.

He even thought about going to the Yamen to report to the official, but he didn't have the courage.

The scholar is not stupid. When he came with the guy from Deyilou, there must be someone following her. It depends on whether he is honest or not.

Alas, it’s really hard to describe!

The scholar scratched his hair, feeling very irritated.

One hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver? Li Haitang and Xiao Lingchuan looked at each other and immediately understood what the other meant.

She did have the banknotes, but part of them were tassels. She had promised to donate them to open a charity hall and adopt some homeless children.

"Is this too much?"

As a middleman, Xiaozhu was shocked when the scholar did not follow common sense. He did not explore the true identity of the scholar's so-called cousin. In this line of work, you should not talk too much about what you should not say. Curiosity killed the cat.

They have rules in Deyilou. Guys cannot be cheaters in private. There is also a reason for this. There is a lot of risk involved.

When Xiaozhu first came here, there was an older clerk who worked in Deyilou for several years. Finally, he suddenly disappeared and was found dead in the wilderness. The Yamen could not find the murderer.

The shopkeeper said that the man was very thoughtful and contacted the customers privately. As a result, he met a gangster who robbed the buyer's money during the transaction and killed the buyer and the middleman, making a business without capital.

The waters in this industry are deep and people’s hearts are even more unpredictable.

"not much."

The scholar calmed down a little and felt annoyed at his reckless behavior. He decided to follow what the bandit said. Anyway, he was worthy of his conscience and had already secretly reminded the two people to see if they were smart or not.

"good."

Li Haitang agreed immediately and pretended to go to the toilet, but he went around to the backyard and borrowed pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the teahouse to write a letter. He also found a vegetable seller at the back door and gave the letter to the aunt and asked someone to deliver the letter to Wufu.

The reason why she chose Auntie was because she thought it would be convenient for the person to deliver food as a cover.

The aunt was very happy to get the money, since there was only a few steps to go, and she also said she would send all the beans and eggplants in the basket.

After a while, Li Haitang returned to the teahouse and nodded to his savage husband.

The teahouse was verifying capital, and after packing up and waiting for blessings from the host and his wife, he suddenly received a letter from the vegetable seller.

Madam didn't say what she was doing when she went out. She and Aunt Yu were waiting for someone at the inn, taking the bean buns with them.

"Mama Yu, Madam has sent a letter."

Wu Fu raised the letter in his hand and opened it in front of Grandma Yu. After reading it, their expressions changed immediately.

"Aunt Yu, what should we do? The master and his wife are going to enter the den of thieves. If something goes wrong..."

Wufu was frightened. His wife wrote in a letter that they were talking in the teahouse and they would be taken directly to the transaction location after a while.

Because the other party was a bandit, he wanted her to contact the Yamen and ask the prefect to send someone there.

"I'm going to the Yamen. You can keep an eye on Wufu near the teahouse, and Baiguo can keep an eye on the young master Doubao."

Nanny Yu wiped the water from her hands and assigned tasks one by one. She originally wanted Wufu to go to the Yamen, but she was afraid that the girl would be confused and she would not be able to tell when the time came, so she had to go alone.

Li Haitang's side has been successfully verified. The scholar conveyed the bandits' intention that the transaction location was ten miles outside Luo City, and they must go directly there.

"Okay, let's go now."

Li Haitang looked relaxed and sighed that he had done the right thing.

I don't know how many bandits there are. If the other party wants to rob money but is unwilling to give goods, the two of them will suffer.

Of course, a savage man can take advantage of others, but he has to take certain risks, and the couple is the source of their luck, not for money.

Ten miles outside Luo City, the bandits were in the dark, and the couple were in the open, making them at a disadvantage.

The scholar took a deep breath. When he was going downstairs, he met the bandit who came to monitor him. The man passed him directly and asked Li Haitang and his wife to get on the carriage and drive straight out of the city.

Wu Fu hid in the dark and watched quietly. Madam just revealed the address deliberately, and she had to go back to deliver the letter.

The carriage was crude and incomparable with his own. There was no vibration-absorbing facilities in the carriage, and there was an indelible smell of blood. Even with the windows open, Li Haitang couldn't bear it and almost felt sick.

She was originally sitting across from Xiao Lingchuan, but she forced her way to his side and buried her face in his chest.

Well, her savage husband still had the scent of osmanthus on her body. Although the smell was much lighter, it made her feel relaxed.

Xiao Lingchuan thought in his heart, it turned out that the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance was not useless at all.

At the end of the day, the sun was scorching, and the leaves of the weeping willows on the roadside were curled up and curled listlessly. Pedestrians on the street had to lift their sleeves to wipe the sweat from their foreheads after barely taking a few steps.

There were teapots and teacups in the car, but Li Haitang couldn't bear the things used by the bandits. Her mouth was dry, so she had to ask the driver in front to stop.

"Brother, can you find a tea shed by the roadside?"

Li Haitang endured it again and again, and decided to make some demands.

The driver was one of the bandits. He seemed easy to talk to, but his eyes were gloomy, and he looked like a ruthless person.

The brothers really wanted to do business, but after taking away the things, it was revealed first that their purpose was very simple, which was money.

And it is impossible to keep this couple by then.

Since he is a dead ghost, it doesn't seem to matter if he meets some small demands. Even those who are going to the execution ground will be given something delicious to eat and a bowl of water and wine before death.

"We are in a hurry, why not wait at the tea shed and I will buy two bowls of tea for you two."

The bandit who was driving the carriage was very cautious, fearing that they would notice something strange, so he did not want them to get off the carriage.

In response to this, Li Haitang nodded in agreement, and at the same time she was glad in her heart. Thanks to her earlier thought, it must not be that simple, so she asked the vegetable seller to deliver the letter. Aunt Yu is a person who has seen the world, Bai Guo is calm, and Wu Fu is also capable. If the three of them take action, they will definitely be able to get things done according to her instructions. She is not worried at all.
