Chapter fifty-eight
When Wu Mian returned to Licheng's mansion, he saw Gui Bugui in the middle hall and said to Mr. Li with a smile: "Those two people are so capable, Mr. Li didn't want to promote them and let them be housekeepers or something?"
Li Cheng replied with a smile: "I can't read for two mud legs, even if I have the will. I originally wanted them to learn to write with the accountant, but something happened?"
Seeing Wu Mian come back, Gui Bugui smiled at him, then pointed at Li Cheng and said, "You are late. Two servants in Mr. Li's mansion just now escaped from work. If we come back a moment ago, we can still catch the person for Mr. Li."
"Just a few helpers, how dare you help the living gods?" Li Cheng was startled at first when he saw Wu Mian appearing in front of him out of thin air, and then hurriedly stood up and saluted the white-haired man. Then he continued, "I just asked the women to check it out, but I didn't see them taking away any property. It should be just greedy for the wages I gave in advance, and I left after I left. It's no big deal."
"Two helpers..." Wu Mian looked at Gui Bugui and continued, "Is one of them the last name Jiang? Then what is the other one?"
"You guessed this wrong. One of them was surnamed Su and the other one was surnamed Zhang." Gui Bugui smiled and continued, "You don't need to remember the name, it's nothing more than big bull, Ergou, etc.." When Gui Bugui spoke, he glanced at the direction of the embroidery building, then shook his head slightly, indicating that Niu'er had nothing to do and told Wu Mian not to worry.
At this time, the Li family's housekeeper rushed over and looked at Wu Mian. After Gui Bugui glanced at his master, he said to his master: "There is Yu Linghui, the prince of the provincial eunuch Yu Chaoen, who is in charge of the minister outside, and asked to see the master. He also brought eight-color gifts. He said what he was here to give a betrothal gift..."
"When did I agree to this marriage?" After hearing the butler's words, Li Cheng's face became a little ugly. In front of Wu Mian, Gui Bugui was not easy to get up and take leave to them first, and then took the butler to the gate to see Yu Chaoen's adopted son.
Taking advantage of the stall where Li Cheng left, Gui Bugui came to Wu Mian and said to him: "The 'Butler' has always lived here. He should have used a insurance policy for himself after he was afraid that the matter would be exposed. Jiang Hexian also lived in in the past six months. They both appeared to be helpers in the Li family. I asked about the appearance of these two people, but they were all changed and their voices changed..."
Speaking of this, Gui Bugui smiled and then continued, "Old man, if I guess correctly, Huang Chao should have been hiding in this mansion. But the "Butler" deliberately distanced him, probably because he was afraid that he would burn himself after being found by the underworld. It's really good... Use Han Zhongxian to test it. Once we come to the door, if we are exposed, with the girl in hand, they can escape. How are you doing? What did the fake Huang Chao say?"
Wu Mian glanced at Gui Bugui and finished talking about the abandoned house in a few words. After he said the name Zhou Ling, Gui Bugui's eyes narrowed. At this time, Bai Wuqiu and Sun Wubing, who went to check the missing helpers, also came back and sat next to Wu Mian and Gui Bugui.
However, before they could say a few words, a noisy sound came from the gate. Then Li Cheng led a dozen people to the direction of the central hall, leading by a half-year-old boy of fourteen or five. This young man was wearing a purple official uniform that only third-rank officials could wear.
"Brother-in-law, don't say anything more. Now my father has asked His Majesty for the marriage. If you have the ability, you will be disrespectful. That way, it will not be just to take back the power of the salt and iron franchise." This young man is Yu Linghui, the adopted son of the eunuch Yu Chaoen. He relied on his godfather's power to marry Miss Li Wenjun. Miss Li was just the leader. The father and son were interested in the wealthy family of the Li family's richest man in Luoyang. As soon as Li Wenjun passed the door, the father and son snatched the Li family property as Miss Wenjun's dowry.
Li Cheng's face became bitter, and he said to Yu Linghui with a smile: "Young Master Yu, my daughter is young and not as old as a marriage. Wait for two years... In two years, I will definitely give my daughter..."
After hearing Li Cheng's words, Yu Linghui laughed and said, "Old father-in-law, your Miss Wenjun is fifteen years old this year. He is only one year younger than me, and he is fifteen years old and he is at the age of getting married... Well, do you still have guests?"
Halfway through, Yu Linghui looked up and saw the strange people sitting in the middle hall. On the spot, the young masters of the provincial eunuch frowned and said to the people behind him: "Please all the people inside, I want to discuss with my father-in-law about marrying Miss Li the day after tomorrow."
Those who followed Yu Linghui were the tutors who usually made a living with him. After hearing Mr. Yu’s words, three or five people rushed to the middle hall on the spot and said to several weird people inside: “Have you heard our young master’s words? If there is anything, wait for my young master to leave later, you are telling Mr. Li that the day after tomorrow is your lady’s day, come and have a happy day soon…”
Before the leader could finish his words, his body flew upside down. Then several idle men who had just walked into the central hall flew out one after another. Several people fell heavily to the ground, either with their legs broken or their arms broken. The man who had just spoken shamelessly broke his spine and lay on the ground and shouted non-stop.
"Old man, I remember Mr. Li only has one daughter? Why did he promise us and others? Is it because we are easy to bully?" The person who spoke was Gui Bugui. The old man stood up while saying that, and walked to the door of the central hall and continued to say to the people outside: "The old man is here to give the betrothal gift today. He agreed that he would marry the bride tomorrow..."
Yu Linghui was startled when he saw his thug being thrown out. Now he heard someone competing for Miss Li with him. His temper came up again and said to Li Cheng who was stunned by his name: "Li Cheng! You dare to find such a group of beggars to humiliate me. Okay, since this is the case, you don't have to wait until the day after tomorrow. Everyone snatched Miss Li! I will settle the house with her tonight. Li Cheng, and I will give you a cheap grandson next year..."
After hearing Yu Linghui's words, the thugs he brought pulled out the steel knives hanging behind his waist and rushed towards the strange people in the middle hall. These people could see clearly that even if Yu Linghui supports him, it would be nothing. Those people used to whine. When it comes to doing things, they are far from themselves...
When these people rushed over with steel knives, Gui Bugui shook his head with a smile, and said to a big black man behind him: "It's your stupid boy, let's talk to them about reason..."
Bai Wuqiu was already impatient. At that moment, it went straight to the door. He grabbed the thug who rushed to the front and slapped him unconscious. Then he carried the man's feet and swung it up to hit the other people who rushed over. Erlangzi started cursing while taking action. Hearing the little boy Xiang Taken Niuer's advantage. If Gui Bugui had just told him, Bai Wuqiu had already gone over and twisted Yu Linghui's head off.
When did Yu Linghui see such a formation? He was so scared that his face turned pale. With the help of the people around him, he kept retreating.
In a blink of an eye, the thugs who had just rushed up had already arrived and were all lying on the ground. At this time, the butler of the Yu Mansion who followed Yu Linghui to give the betrothal gift calmed down and wanted to pop out the details of the people in the middle hall. He said immediately: "You said you were here to give the betrothal gift, so is the young master of the family coming to marry Miss Li?"
