Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 16 Entrusting Your Life

   Surname Ji…

  Li Xin raised his head and glanced at the seventh son. He naturally knew that the national surname of Da Jin was Ji. Since the surname of Ji Qigong was Ji, at least he was a clan, and he might even be a prince.

   But what Li Xin is thinking about right now is not the identity of the seventh son, but rather that this is the seventh son, not the eighth son...

  Thinking of this, Li Xin coughed slightly, put aside the unreasonable thoughts in his mind, looked up at the seventh son, and said softly: "The seventh son...is the royal family?"

   Seventh Young Master in white smiled and said nothing.

   After thinking about it, Li Xinlue took out the document from the Jingzhao Mansion from his sleeve, handed it over, and said, "Seventh Young Master, the life of the family is entrusted to the Seventh Young Master."

This document is the only thing that Li Xin can threaten Jingzhao Mansion. Without this document, Jingzhao Mansion will kill Li Xin as much as he wants. He handed over this document and followed his own. It makes no difference if you hand over your life and your fortune.

Seventh Young Master smiled, took the document with his hand, then put it in his sleeve, reached out and patted Li Xin on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I originally said that you are thoughtful, but you and I have only known each other for half an hour. , you put such an important thing in my hands, you are not afraid that I will sell you back?"

  Li Xin bowed his head and said, "If there is no external force, even if this thing is in my hands, it may not be able to reach His Majesty. Since the chances are slim, it is better to trust the Seventh Young Master."

In ancient times, the distance between the people and officials was like a gulf. For example, people like Li Xin would never even see the county magistrate once in his life, and it was even more impossible to go to the government office to knock on the office like in the TV series. If you beat the drum, you can see the governor of Kaifeng, Lord Bao.

   In fact, a yamen like Jingzhao Mansion is a very large yamen. Even if ordinary people go to Jingzhao Mansion to sue officials, there will be special people who will handle it. It is basically impossible to see Lord Jingzhao Yin.

In other words, if you don't have a way, Jingzhao Mansion is the ceiling that ordinary people can reach. People like Li Xin are not even qualified to reach this ceiling, let alone reach a higher level. Big guy.

Therefore, the "criminal evidence" of the Jingzhao Mansion is actually not very useful in his hands, because he has no chance to hand this document to a higher-level person. To be extraordinary, and to be able to open a big business like the Dayi Building by the Qinhuai River, he must have an amazing energy.

   Therefore, Li Xin chose to gamble.

  Seventh Young Master glanced at Li Xin again, smiled and said, "Not only are you resourceful but also brave, it's not simple, you and Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, have three or four similarities."

  Li Xin bowed his head slightly and did not speak.

In fact, he was still somewhat afraid. After all, even in his previous life, he was only a senior white-collar worker, and he had never been in contact with this kind of power circle. After coming to this world, what Li Xinxin thought was to live well, But in just over half a month, he had already come into contact with the Pingnanhou Mansion, the Jingzhao Mansion, and the Seventh Young Master in front of him.

   In this world, the sweetest thing is power, but power is also the most dangerous thing. As long as you get a little closer to him, you may lose your life for no reason.

   Up to now, he had to pin his hopes on the seventh son he just met.

Seeing that Li Xin didn't speak, the seventh son was not angry, but smiled indifferently: "It's rare that you look down on this son, don't worry, even for your trust, this son will try his best to handle this matter for you. All right."

  Li Xin bowed his head and said, "Thank you sir."

   Seventh Young Master was about to walk out of this small yard with his hands on his back. Just as he started to walk, Li Xin suddenly called out to him.

   "Seventh son, stay here..."

   Seventh Young Master turned his head in amazement.

Li Xin stretched out his finger and pointed to a bunch of mutton skewers that were eaten next to him, coughed, and then said, "Seventh son, these skewers are planned to be sold tomorrow, and the livelihood of Xia and his two family members will be completely lost. Relying on this meat skewer, now that you have eaten them all, how should you express it appropriately?"

  The seventh son turned his head and looked at Li Xin as if he were insane.

  I came to rescue him, but this guy asked me for money instead?

However, because of his face, Qi Gongzi still took off a string of hanging jade hanging from his waist. As the meal for this "mutton skewer", although this jade pendant is not a top-notch item, since it can be used for Qi Gongzi Staying in hand, it is naturally not a cheap thing.

  Li Xin put the jade pendant into his sleeve with a smile on his face.

   Seventh Young Master shook his head and left the small yard with some helplessness.

   After Seventh Young Master left, Li Xin fell silent. He looked down at the jade pendant in his hand that had been extorted from Seventh Young Master, according to Seventh Young Master's statement. This unremarkable piece of vermilion jade pendant can be exchanged for at least 100 yuan.

  Li Xin held the jade pendant in his hand and muttered to himself in a low voice.

   "Hope you are really as valuable as he said..."

The reason why Li Xin has the cheek to ask Seventh Young Master for money is not just for humor. In fact, he has already begun to prepare to run away. Now the trajectory of things has greatly exceeded his expectations. He does not know the next moment. What will the capital be like.

  So, he had a little idea of ​​escaping from the capital. After all, with his ability, as long as he found a place with people, he would not starve to death, and there was no need to stay in the capital shamelessly.

   With this idea, it is natural to prepare some entanglements. This jade pendant that was extorted from the Seventh Young Master is the entanglement that Li Xin ran away from.

  Thinking of this, Li Xin turned his gaze to the half leg of lamb left in the yard.

After his conversation with the seventh son, it was obvious that the business of selling mutton kebabs was impossible. Maybe the person from the Tianmujian was still asking for him everywhere. If he went out to "do business" by himself, he would be caught in a trap. .

   He went back to the charcoal fire again, cut pieces of meat from the leg of lamb with a knife, and skewered them on bamboo skewers.

   Then he waved to the room.

   "Girl, come out to eat mutton skewers."

  The charcoal girl in a cotton coat ran out excitedly, sat obediently opposite Li Xin, and looked at the mutton skewer in Li Xin's hand.

  Although she took a bunch of them just now, she only took one bite of that bunch, and she fed the rest to Grandpa.

   Li Xin skewered two skewers and grilled them on a charcoal fire. The aroma was overflowing after a while.

   The little girl swallowed her saliva and looked up at Li Xin pitifully.

  Li Xin reached out and touched the girl's head, and said with a smile: "Little greedy ghost, it's not ready yet, don't worry, all the meat is roasted for you tonight."

  Since you can’t go out to do business, it doesn’t make any sense to leave this leg of lamb. It’s better to roast it all and beat the teeth.

  The little girl wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, stretched out her hand and took a bunch of raw mutton, followed Li Xin's way, and grilled it on the charcoal. After a while, the aroma of the meat skewers was overflowing.

   The little girl's eyes widened, she stared at the meat skewers on the charcoal fire, and she couldn't bear to look away for a moment.
