For more than ten days in a row, no tenants have stayed in Hepingxi Courtyard. ...
Lin Yi was free and occasionally taught Jiang Feng and his wife how to cook, which was not too boring.
As for Aji, he works very hard.
The water in the water tank is always full, the firewood shed is never short of firewood, and the entire Xiheyuan is swept clean.
There was just one thing that made Ji Yi feel a little unhappy.
This guy Aji seems to have bad character.
Ji Yi saw him coming out of the town's brothel "Red Sleeve Pavilion" several times.
As a man, it is normal to have needs, but as a beggar, you are overestimating your capabilities by frequenting romantic places.
That evening, Ji Yi came back from drinking at a wine shop in the town and passed by Hongxiu Pavilion.
"Sir, come in and have some fun. There's a pretty girl inside."
"Hey, isn't this the famous Boss Lin? I'll let the best girl to serve you."
Ji Yi passed by the door with a red lantern on, and the madam yelled at him.
"cut!"
If it were a romantic place in a big place like Beijing, Ji Yi might go in and take a look.
Not all prostitutes in ancient times were prostitutes. Some women were very talented. It was a bit interesting to play with such women.
How could there be such a woman in a small place like Qingfeng Town?
Not to mention ugly, he looked disgusting with the cheap rouge and gouache.
And with poor sanitation, getting sick is no fun.
Ji Yi ignored the madam's call and continued on his way with his head buried.
"roll!"
"You are such a stinky beggar, why should you redeem yourself for the Wushuang girl?"
At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in sight.
It was Aji, the handyman from Xiheyuan.
Aji was violently pushed out of the door of the Red Sleeve Pavilion by a tough servant. He stumbled and fell to the ground. The few pieces of silver in his hand were scattered on the ground.
Behind the door, a graceful and pure-looking woman dressed in white looked at him sadly.
"Wushuang, I will definitely collect the money to redeem you."
Aji lay on the ground and picked up the scattered pieces of silver, including the dust in his hands.
Seeing this situation, the madam and the servants looked disgusted.
The madam winked, and the servants swarmed over.
He raised his foot and kicked Aji hard.
"Stinky beggar, toad wants to eat swan meat."
"It costs five hundred taels of silver to redeem Miss Wushuang. You have worked hard for ten lifetimes and you still can't get it together."
"Get away, don't harass Miss Wushuang again."
…………
The servants kicked him more than a dozen times and showed no intention of stopping.
Aji was kicked until he vomited blood and curled up on the ground motionless.
The woman behind the door seemed a little unbearable and wanted to rush out to rescue her, but was stopped by the madam.
"This guy has no money. He comes to harass you every day, causing me to make a lot of money. This beating can be regarded as compensation."
"boom!"
"boom!!"
The servants were still kicking, but the madam had no intention of telling them to stop.
Those who can open a brothel naturally have some background. They don't worry at all if they beat a beggar to death.
"stop!"
Lin Yi became angry and yelled.
It is said that when beating a dog, it depends on the owner. Although Aji has nothing to do with Ji Yi, he is not his dog.
But after all, a person is his own tenant. If he is beaten like this, who will rent his own house in the future?
Ji Yi is a well-known rich man in Qingfeng Town, and the madam must sell his face.
"stop!"
After asking the servants to stop, he said with a flattering smile: "Boss Lin, do you know this person?"
"He's my tenant."
"What?"
The madam's face was full of surprise. She knew that Ji Yi's rent was ten taels of silver.
In her opinion, how could a poor, smelly beggar afford to rent a house?
"I let him live for free."
Ji Yi guessed what the madam wanted to say from her suspicious eyes.
"Since Boss Lin is so kind and charitable, he should be a good person and pay five hundred taels of silver to redeem Miss Wushuang's life!"
The old madam is very clever and plans to take the opportunity to extort a sum of money.
The maximum redemption price for Wushuang was 200 taels, but she deliberately asked for 500 taels because he knew that Ji Yi was not short of money.
Ji Yi is indeed not short of money. Five hundred taels of silver is just drizzle to him.
But he wouldn't be so compassionate that he would use such a sum of money to help someone who doesn't know what he can do to pick up girls.
"Aji wants to redeem Wushuang, and he has to rely on his own ability. I will never give half a tael of silver."
"hehe!"
Hearing this, the madam sneered twice: "What else are you talking about? Tell him to get out of here!"
After saying that, he took his servants with him and prepared to leave with a proud face.
"Wait!"
"You beat people like this and just want to walk away?"
The madam was startled: "Boss Lin plans to interfere in this matter?"
"He is my tenant and it is my responsibility to help him seek justice."
Ji Yi's cold and angry look made the madam a little panicked.
This man has a lot of money and is really difficult to deal with if he takes it seriously.
"Then what does Boss Lin want to do?"
"Send Aji to a medical center immediately for diagnosis and treatment. After he is cured, he will also be compensated for nutritional expenses!"
The madam had some backing and was used to being arrogant in Qingfeng Town.
Being blocked like this by Ji Yi, I felt very aggrieved.
"Then what if I don't do this?"
Ji Yi was sure that she would say this, and the expression on her face became more serious.
"Master Zhang, the grand master of this county, has a good relationship with me. If you don't do this, I will immediately notify Master Zhang to handle it."
Hearing this, the madam panicked.
Mr. Zhang, the county magistrate, is known to be fair and honest. If Lin Yi reports the case, he will be even more responsible.
After all, it's not justified to hit someone. If things get too big, it's not good for you.
After such an analysis, the madam gave up.
"Okay, I will give Boss Lin some face today!"
"Afu, Ergou (housekeeper), send him to the hospital!"
Two servants supported Aji and walked to Dr. Li's house, the only medical clinic in the town.
"You have to have a better attitude and pay enough compensation, otherwise this matter will never end!"
Lin Yi warned.
Aji was supported and when he passed by Ji Yi, a glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.
In addition to gratitude, there is also appreciation.
Such a look made Ji Yi feel strange.
This does not look like the look of a down-and-out beggar who is being bullied.
And like a sleeping tiger, it suddenly wakes up.
"good!"...
"Boss Lin helps the weak and is a good person!"
"That's right, if you encounter injustice in the future, just ask Boss Lin to seek justice."
As early as when Aji was beaten by his servants, a crowd of people gathered around him.
These people also want to draw out their swords to help when there is injustice, but they are ordinary people and dare not go against the powerful Hongxiuge Pavilion.
Now seeing Lin Yi helping Aji stand out, I feel so happy.
"This is a good man. If I had money, I would rent a house in his Xiheyuan."
"Good people will be rewarded. I hope Boss Lin's house will be rented out more."
…………
This incident can be regarded as a wave of advertising for Lin Yi’s Xiheyuan.
Once the news spread, it spread quickly, and soon several surrounding towns knew about it.
Outside Qingfeng Town, it is more than a hundred miles away from the junction of the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.
This is a long ancient road with wild trees on both sides. Occasionally, crows fly from the woods and make bursts of scary cries.
On a towering tree stands a Taoist nun holding Buddha dust.
She is about thirty years old and looks very beautiful.
The Taoist nun let go of her jade-like right hand, and petals as bright as blood floated in the wind.
The advent of what love is?
The first teacher promises life and death.
Flying passengers from all over the world.
The old wings experienced cold and heat several times.
The joy goes away, but the separation is painful.
There are even more idiots among them
…………
"hurry up!"
"After the escort is finished and I get the reward, I'm going to stay in the Heping Xiheyuan in Qingfeng Town for a while."
"I've heard people talk about that place. It has a pleasant scenery and a quiet environment. The most important thing is that the boss is a good person."
"It's really fascinating. If I could live there for a lifetime, this life would be enough."
At this time, a team drove up the ancient road.
More than ten people, riding horses, driving cars, or walking.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a beard on his face, sharp eyes, and riding a horse with a big word "Lu" on it.
The convoy behind them carried seven or eight large boxes with the flag of the Weiyuan Escort Agency on them.
Lu Hao is the boss and chief escort of Weiyuan Escort Agency.
Although his martial arts skills are mediocre, he loves to make friends with righteous people all over the world because of his loyalty and wealth. He has been a escort for more than 20 years and has never had any trouble.
Recently, Lu Hao heard that there is a Heping Xiheyuan in Qingfeng Town near the escort agency, which is very suitable for vacation.
Therefore, I plan to finish this trip and go to Xiheyuan to experience it.
Fifty taels of silver is not expensive.
"Hush!"
When I walked here, I saw crows flying from the treetops, and suddenly I had an ominous premonition.
After so many years as a dart boy, he has a strong sense of crisis. He often relies on his sense of crisis to turn danger into good fortune.
"There's something weird here, please be careful!"
With such a reminder, the bandit quickly picked up his weapon and became alert.
"Ha ha……"
Suddenly a woman's arrogant laughter came from the woods nearby.
Then, a figure passed over their heads and swooped towards them.
"What a handsome Taoist nun!"
The waiter was marveling at the opponent's appearance, but before they could take action, someone saw the Lord of Hell.
"laugh!"
"Click!!"
The Taoist nun holds the Buddha dust in her hand and shuttles through the crowd, her figure changing. The Buddha dust is like the chain of a soul seducer, hooking around the neck of the traveler. With a gentle pull, someone's head moves away.
Soon, all the dozen or so gangsters died.
Lu Hao was shocked and frightened. This was the first time he encountered such a cruel escort robber.
From the looks of it, he doesn't plan to stay alive.
Lu Hao could only fight to the death.
"Keng!"
He jumped up from the horse, took out the nine-ringed sword from its sheath, and struck at the Taoist nun with a move of 'Splitting Huashan with force'.
"Whoosh!"
The opponent's movements were flexible and he easily dodged it.
Afterwards, the two fought together.
Lu Hao's sword skills are fierce and fierce, while Taoist nun's Fo Chen is light and tricky.
At first, the two were evenly matched, but soon Lu Bin couldn't resist.
"laugh!"
After more than a dozen moves, Lu Hao's neck was entangled with Buddha dust, and he secretly screamed that something was wrong.
"Where is the Heping Xiheyuan you just mentioned?"
"Da Ming Kingdom, Qingfeng Town."
Lu Hao thought that if he told him, the other party would let him go.
But the next moment.
"Click!"
The Taoist nun pulled the Buddha dust from her hand and strangled his neck.
"Why...why?"
Lu Hao stared, and with his last breath, he expressed the questions in his heart.
"Just because of the word 'Lu'!"
A trace of fierceness flashed in the Taoist nun's eyes, and Fo Chen slashed the flag into pieces with a wave of his hand.
"Heping Xiyuan, this is an interesting place."
The Taoist nun pried open one of the boxes in the escort office and found that it was full of silver ingots.
She only took a few of them, put them into her sleeve robe, and then set off towards Daming.
