Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Chapter 189 Robbery from the Rich and Giving to the Poor

She gets annoyed when she sees this face.

"Oh my, sir, don't do this. If the lady sees me, she will sell me out."

The maid was reluctant to give in and pretended to push his hand away, but she stumbled and, following the force of his pull, fell straight into his arms.

"Awei" hugged her and froze for a moment when he heard her talking about his wife, then laughed obscenely:

"Hahaha, how could I, Wei Batian, be afraid of a stinky woman like her? Come on, little darling~ Tomorrow I will take you in as my eighth concubine!"

Just as the two people were hugging and kissing on the armchair and were about to perform a scene inappropriate for children, Jingzhi squatted on the eaves and quickly threw two stones with his fingertips.

Before the maid could retract her smug look, she rolled her eyes and fainted in Wei Batian's arms.

Wei Batian was hit on the acupoints and stood still without moving.

His eyes kept darting around, searching for the person who was coming. Just as he was about to shout for help from the servants and guards, a cold scabbard was pressed against the back of his neck.

Wei Batian was so scared that he burped and swallowed back his words of calling for help.

He smiled flatteringly with a trembling voice:

"Which master, please show yourself. If you like this maid, just take her. It's easy to talk about. Everything is easy to talk about!"

Jingzhi snorted coldly and said in a deliberately rough voice:

"Humph! You two bastards, I find them dirty."

The icy voice, like frost, immediately made a bead of sweat appear on Wei Batian's forehead. His attitude immediately slumped:

"Then, what do you want, a woman? Or money? I'll give you whatever I have, just don't kill me!"

Jingzhi opened his sword with a swish, and put the blade against the back of his neck.

The cold and sharp blade frightened Wei Batian so much that he couldn't help but shiver. He closed his eyes tightly and prayed:

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, please don't kill me!"

Jingzhi couldn't bear to watch: Tsk, it's still the same as in his previous life, oh no, it's the same as in his next life.

Lustful, greedy for money, and cowardly!

"You have one hour to find an empty house outside the city. It must be large and have plenty of rooms."

Wei Batian immediately replied with trembling lips:

"Yes, yes, yes. I have a private courtyard outside the city. It's very large and has many rooms. I will arrange it for you right away."

Nonsense, that was his paradise where he pretended to have seven concubines. How could it not be big and have many rooms?

But this time it’s all over, I’ve encountered this deadly King Yama.

Jingzhi flattened the blade, digging a little into his flesh, and then patted his face with the handle:

"Don't play tricks on me. I can come in unnoticed, and I can also... kill you unnoticed!"

Looking at the word "Ya" engraved on the hilt, her eyes suddenly turned and she said with a wicked smile:

"You don't want your wife to find out about you molesting the maid, do you?"

Jingzhi could see clearly that his body had stiffened for a moment.

"You, you, you were sent by my wife?" Wei Batian was shocked and his face turned pale.

His wife is the daughter of a minister, and he is able to achieve what he has today thanks to the support of his wife's maternal family.

If that tigress really knew about this, would he be in any good situation?

Jingzhi sneered and didn't reply.

Wei Batian thought she agreed, and his face instantly turned gloomy.

But she never thought that she would put forward another condition:

"The Minister of State has issued an order stating that the government is in turmoil, with internal and external troubles. His Majesty has been in a bad mood recently. You must return any disaster relief grain you swallowed. Otherwise, if the matter is exposed to the higher-ups, don't blame him for turning against you for the sake of justice!"

"Okay, okay! Let's arrange it tomorrow morning!" Wei Batian agreed repeatedly, while complaining in his heart:

This is all that has slipped into his hands, and yet his father-in-law still has the nerve to say that he might have taken even more than he did.

"Well, um, how much did my wife pay you? I'll pay double! You protect me!"

Wei Batian wants to stage a Mission Impossible and, by the way, gather a real master by his side. After all, the world is becoming more and more chaotic.

Jingzhi blew on her nails and said lightly:

"Oh, I'm going to tell my lady that you bribed me."

Wei Batian was anxious, "Hey!! No, no, no!"

He just asked this question.

If Wei Batian could move, he would have wanted to slap himself twice on the spot.

Jingzhi snapped his fingers: "Give me the hush money."

Wei Batian: "Yes, how much do you want?"

Jingzhi: "How much do you have?"

Wei Batian lowered his eyes and looked at the purse tied around his waist, chuckling:

"Well, this is the pocket money my wife gives me every month. Don't think it's too little, it's all I have."

Jingzhi looked at the deflated purse and frowned.

She thought that her pockets were now chubby, so she curled her lips, picked up the feather duster placed in the blue and white porcelain next to her, hooked his purse and pulled it back.

"You little bastard, if you dare to lie to me, I'll smash your head!"

Jingzhi was behind him, cursing as she opened her purse, took out the contents and looked at them. Her eyes widened in shock.

Two silver notes, 50 taels each!

Good guy, she called him a good guy!

This person's pocket money is actually one hundred taels.

This guy is indeed a huge corrupt official!

Okay, okay, don't blame her for grabbing him...

Wei Batian smiled awkwardly and called out "Hero" twice, but found that there was no movement in the house.

The man disappeared again without anyone noticing.

Megatron's face was whiter than the wall this time.

He, he, could it be that he encountered a ghost?

Wei Batian: Uncle Jiu! Help!!!

At this moment, a feather shot over and released his acupoints.

A voice, neither male nor female, seemed to ring in his ears:

"Why don't you go prepare the room? Are you looking for death?"

Megatron shuddered, pushed the maid to the ground, and raised his head to look around.

However, nothing was found.

Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and stroked his chin, thinking:

If it's not a ghost, then it's a human.

Moreover, this person seems to be quite fond of money.

As for money, he has plenty.

How could those cowards in the yamen have such martial arts skills?

It seems that he has to find a way to dig her away from his wife...

……

On the other side, Jingzhi took the money and burned his purse.

Then he took a silver note to the money shop to exchange it for silver.

It is worth mentioning that the Yuantong Money House has a long history, but going back in time, there is no money of Lin Jiucun in the money house now.

Jingzhi secretly sighed that Lin Jiu's plan had failed.

However, she is not the kind of person who is spoiled. If she doesn't have money, she can just earn more.

But she had 50 taels of silver in her hand, and she didn't want to use it on herself.

Jingzhi simply found a clinic and went in, wanting to buy some herbal medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, and boil some to give to the people at the city gate to drink, as a preventive measure.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked in, I met Master Lin Jiu and his apprentice, along with an old man, who were persuading another old man standing in front of the medicine cabinet.

Lin Jiu frowned and advised righteously:

"Old Zhao, this is a big deal. It concerns the entire town. On the smaller side, it concerns you and me. Why don't you close the shop for a while and come with me to take a look?"

Old Zhao picked up the Chinese medicine, slowly raised his eyelids to look at him, sighed and said:

"Uncle Jiu, I'm old and don't want to get involved in this mess anymore. You two can go on your own."

He added: "Even if I take a step back, I still have to support my family."

"Let's talk about the reality. Even if we pick out those patients, who will pay for the medical expenses of the refugees? These medicinal herbs of mine didn't just come from the wind."

"Are we supposed to cover these expenses ourselves? Or will you be responsible?"

Lin Jiu was blocked by his words, his face turned very ugly for a while, and he was speechless for a long time to persuade him.

Old Zhang next to him also sighed, stroked his gray beard and shook his head.

Everyone has their own aspirations, and he cannot force others.

"Ajiu, how about..."

"I'll pay!"

Jingzhi took out a fifty-liang silver note from the side and said, "Doctor, I want to buy some herbs to clear away heat and detoxify. Phellodendron, Purslane, and Silver Forsythia..."

Jingzhi listed a series of Chinese herbal medicine names and quantities, then thought for a moment and said:

"I'll use the remaining money to buy some more mugwort leaves. Do you think it's enough?"

Lin Jiu raised his hand and grabbed her sleeve, wanting to say something but stopping himself:

"Little brother, you..."

Jingzhi lowered her eyes to look at the slender fingers twisting on her left sleeve, and suddenly smiled faintly.

She quietly stepped back, pretending to be a man, and patted Lin Jiu's shoulder casually:

"Master Lin, don't worry, I know what's going on. I'm doing my best for the people."

"Oh, by the way, I've already applied for the place with the adults. You and this person..."

Lin Jiu was dazzled by her red lips and white teeth smile, and his cheeks flushed slightly.

He pretended to be calm and introduced himself to her:

"This is Lao Zhang, the doctor at Xingjitang in Dongcheng."

"Xingjitang?" Jingzhi was a little surprised.

Isn’t this the name of the clinic she and Erdi opened?

"Excuse me, who is your boss?" she asked.

Old Zhang smiled and said, "My boss's surname is Liang, and his given name is En. However, he's quite old, and hasn't been to the clinic in a few days. What's the matter, little brother? Do you know my boss?"

Jingzhi touched his chin and thought for a while before he remembered.

Liang En?

Aren’t these the foolish grandparents who hid the elderly Erdi?

Is it really such a coincidence?

"I do have something to ask him. Where does he live?"

Lao Zhang pulled Jingzhi's sleeve and walked to the side, whispering:

"Little brother, what do you want from my boss? He doesn't meet people easily."

If it weren't for Jingzhi's heroic move just now, he would have ignored her.

After all, the government officials these days are either indifferent to things that do not concern them, or they are timid and corrupt lackeys.

Hearing his question, Jingzhi lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were full of complexity:

"Lao Zhang, I have some connection with your boss. As for what the connection is, it's something we can't reveal. Just think about it..."

Lao Zhang's eyelids twitched slightly, and his expression was as follows:

? _?

Good luck!

Could it be that this young boy is the illegitimate son of his 89-year-old boss in his later years?

Incredible, incredible!

Could it be that the boss has some secret recipe for having children hidden away?

Old Zhang, who thought he had uncovered the boss's secret, stroked his beard and said with a slightly gossipy tone:

"No. 19 East Street is the Liang Mansion. Don't tell me what I said."

Lao Zhang raised his hand to cover his mouth and said in a low voice:

"Come to my clinic when you have time. We can chat and drink tea."

Jingzhi gave him a mysterious smile, "Okay."

Gossipy old man, take it easy~

After being ignored for several minutes, Lin Jiu cleared his throat for no apparent reason and interrupted:

"You just said you found the place. Where is it?"

Jingzhi suddenly remembered what she had just said halfway. She slapped her hands and remembered that she had forgotten to ask Wei Batian for his address.

That brat won’t stand her up, right?

"You go see the patient first, I'll go back and ask."

Lin Jiu nodded. "The medicine is packed. If Lao Zhao doesn't want to go, Lao Zhang, you can come with me."

Jingzhi turned her foot back and said, "I'm going too! I have nothing to do anyway."

Lin Jiu frowned and said disapprovingly:

"Don't you still want to go back and ask questions?"

Jingzhi: "Well... I'll ask for leave from my boss and come over. You guys go first!"

As she ran, she did not forget to look back and remind:

"Remember to cover your mouth and nose!"
