Chapter 36: Soul Flies
If he saw it correctly, what Miss Ling was holding seemed to be a plum blossom needle?
Ning Chuyi really didn't expect that although this Miss Ling didn't seem to be in good health, she could pinch and count. Now it seems that he still has the ability to protect himself.
Ling Chu followed his gaze and lowered his head to see the plum blossom needle in his hand. He was silent and put it back into his sleeve pocket as if nothing had happened.
"My lord just said it was a coincidence. Could it be that you came to see me specially?"
Ning Chuyi glanced at her and did not deny, "I need your help with something."
Ling Chu raised his eyebrows. This commander really didn't want to suffer a loss. She had just been released from prison a few days ago, and the other party came to ask her for help?
However, since the other party saved his life, Ling Chu couldn't refuse. Who asked her to plead to the emperor for mercy and promise that if the other party was in need, she would do her best to help.
Seeing that Ling Chu didn't speak, Ning Chuyi could only say, "Are you done with your work?"
Now that the work is done, it's time to get the reward.
Ling Chu turned to Hu Batian and said, "Master Hu, is it time for a reward?"
Ning Chuyi frowned when he heard the words Master Hu.
Wei Feng on the side said with a sarcastic smile, "Since when can a bully in Kyoto be called an adult?"
Hu Batian's expression changed, and he knelt down again with a frightened thud, "Sir, please forgive me, little one, I'm just a commoner, someone else screamed randomly."
Wei Feng snorted, "I said the wrong thing again. The commander is the master, Palm Zui."
Hu Batian called him "sir" in front of Lord Ning. Isn't this hurting him?
"You said the wrong thing." Hu Batian was frightened and didn't need anyone else to do anything. He opened his bow from left to right and slapped his face.
Ling Chu twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't stop him.
This Hu Batian is a bully who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong. It would be nice to let Master Ning and Wei Feng scare him.
Seeing that Hu Batian had slapped him more than a dozen times and his cheeks were red and swollen, Ning Chuyi signaled Wei Feng to stop.
It's not that Ning Chuyi is kind-hearted, it's just that Prince Jing is still waiting for Miss Ling to help, so it can't be delayed any longer.
After receiving Ning Chuyi's signal, Wei Feng said coldly, "Okay, this time it will be a small punishment but a big warning. If I find you committing a crime again in the future, I won't get over it so easily."
Hu Batian breathed a sigh of relief, stopped his hand, and said hurriedly, "Yes, I will definitely keep it in mind."
He took out a twenty-tael silver note from his pocket and handed it to Ling Chu respectfully, "Miss Ling, this is your reward."
From the corner of his eye, Hu Batian noticed that Commander Ning frowned again, and was frightened. He quickly changed his words and said, "No, Miss Ling, thank you for helping to find the hidden silver. This is a thank you gift. Thank you."
Ling Chu was so frightened when he saw him that he reached out and took the banknote without saying anything.
She couldn't take all the twenty taels by herself. Zhou Wu was busy with her, so he had to give him half of the money.
However, she didn't have ten taels of silver on her.
"Is the money wrong?" Seeing Ling Chu frowning, Ning Chuyi thought it was because Hu Batian was short of money.
Hu Batian almost couldn't help but cry. It was twenty taels, right.
Could it be that when Miss Ling saw someone supporting her, she thought the reward was too small.
Manager Lu on the side was also very worried. Hu Batian was too merciless. It was really stupid to anger the God of Death for such a small amount of money.
Hu Batian gritted his teeth and was about to take out a few more banknotes, thinking that he would lose money and eliminate disaster.
Ling Chu shook his head and said, "There is no problem with the money, but I want to exchange this banknote for two 10-tael pieces."
Ning Chuyi didn't expect that she was worried about this, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Wei Feng on the side was also speechless.
He thought that Hu Batian had done something outrageous, and he was wondering which cell in Jinyiwei had vacancies that could accommodate the bully Hu Batian.
Hu Batian almost knelt down again when he heard Ling Chu's words.
Auntie, if it weren't for being so scary, he would have been scared out of his wits.
Fearing that Ling Chu would say something that would displease the commander, Hu Batian quickly took out two 10-tael silver notes from his arms and handed them over with a smile.
"Miss Ling, I didn't think well. There are ten taels of silver notes here. Take it."
Ling Chu was a little surprised when he saw the heavy cold sweat on his forehead. Although the weather was a bit hot today, it wasn't so hot, right?
Ling Chu really didn't expect that Hu Batian, who was sweating profusely, was frightened by her.
After all, she didn't say anything dissatisfied with Hu Batian just now, so how could she have thought that he had made up a lot of stuff in his own head, which scared her to death.
Although it was a little strange, she didn't ask. She reached out and took the two banknotes from Hu Batian's hand, and handed back the twenty-tael banknote just now.
Hu Batian waved his hands hurriedly, "Miss Ling, I made a mistake. The thank you gift is forty taels, yes, it is forty taels."
Manager Lu felt relieved when he saw the look in his eyes this time.
Ling Chu saw the panic on his face and realized that the bully was scared.
She couldn't help but glance at Ning Chuyi next to her.
She secretly thought that she was indeed the famous murderer in Kyoto. With just one word, Hu Batian was so frightened that he wanted to give her more money.
However, she will take the money that should be hers, and she will not take any money that is not hers.
Ling Chu ignored Hu Batian's refusal and directly stuffed the twenty taels back to him, and then handed one of the ten taels of silver notes to Zhou Wu.
"This is your reward, take it."
Zhou Wu's face was stunned. She didn't expect that Miss Ling wanted to exchange the banknote just now to share the reward money with him.
But when he saw the commander next to him, he was frightened. Just as he was about to say that there was no need to share the reward money with him, Ling Chu had already put the banknote into his hand.
Zhou Wu was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. This bank note was like a hot potato. How could he dare to take it?
He wanted to return it, but he saw Miss Ling walking away. The commander showed no dissatisfaction on his face. He hesitated for a while, and then slowly put his heart down.
Once the reward is received, everything is done. Ling Chu was about to leave with Master Ning. Unexpectedly, she had only taken a few steps when Ge Shi dragged her daughter towards her and knelt down to her with a thud.
"Please, girl, take our mother and daughter away."
Ling Chu frowned, "The silver found from your house is enough to repay the debts of Dong Liu's family. Don't worry, Manager Lu will not take you away again."
When Manager Lu heard Ling Chu mention this, he felt nervous and quickly said with a smile, "Miss Ling is right. Your family's debt has been paid off. You mother and daughter don't need to leave with us, so don't worry."
Ling Chu originally thought that the matter had been explained clearly, but Ge Shi still said, "Miss Ling, our mother and daughter are willing to sell themselves as slaves. Please buy us."
All the family property was seized to pay off debts, and Liu Dongluo was heartbroken. But thinking that his wife and daughter would not have to be taken away, he could marry his daughter to a wealthy family in exchange for a bride price.
Unexpectedly, Ge Shi wanted to take away his daughter and sell her into slavery. How could he bear this?
