MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 67 The fox fakes the tiger's power (second update)
Chapter 67 The fox pretends to be the tiger's power (second update)
The thugs, including Wu Guanshi, were all immobilized by Ling Chu's amulet and unable to move.
Xia Zhi saw the scene in front of her and her eyes widened in surprise.
Ling Chu took two steps forward and found that she was still standing still, so he had to step back and give her a hand.
Xia Zhi came back to his senses and hurriedly followed.
Those people in the gambling house were so excited about gambling that no one noticed the movement here.
Even if some people noticed it, no one paid attention to it.
After all, in the eyes of these gamblers, nothing is as important as their gambling money.
Wuguanshi was careless for a moment and was immobilized with a talisman, unable to move.
I could only watch helplessly as Ling Chu led the girl to the second floor.
Steward Wu complained in his heart that if this girl came in and spoiled Steward Tao's good deeds, he would be skinned and cramped.
He is the third manager of Changlefang, and he is not as important as Manager Lu. Now Manager Tao must be even more dissatisfied with him.
If Manager Tao accuses his boss of not doing his job well, his status as the third steward may be in jeopardy.
Lingchu didn't know Guanshi Wu was worried, so she took Xia Zhi to the second floor.
Xu Shijianwu Guanshi was watching the scene on the first floor, and there were so many thugs, so he thought no one would dare to break into the second floor.
Those thugs on the second floor were actually watching others gambling.
Ling Chu did not hesitate and took Xia Zhi straight to Hu Batian's private room.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Hu Batian's voice soon came from inside.
Then there was the sound of footsteps.
Following the sound of the door opening, Hu Batian's impatient voice came, "Who is it..."
I don’t know who is so bold as to disturb Tao Guanshi’s good deeds.
"Hey, why is it you...?" As soon as the door opened, Hu Batian looked surprised when he saw Ling Chu standing outside.
Ling Chu glanced at him and said nothing.
Lift your foot and kick it.
Hu Batian was unprepared and was kicked back a few steps by Ling Chu.
Ling Chu was very dissatisfied with this kick. It was far from the kick she expected to knock someone down.
This body is still too weak and needs to be taken good care of.
Hu Batian took a few steps back before steadying himself.
With an angry look on his face, he asked, "Miss Ling, why did you kick someone without saying anything?"
The people in the private room have naturally noticed the movement here.
The man sitting on the Taishi chair turned his head and looked over with a frown.
Liu Xiangju, who was being escorted to her knees on the ground and was feeling uneasy, turned around to see Ling Chu and Xia Zhi, and was suddenly surprised and happy, "Girl, why are you here?"
Ling Chu gave her a comforting look, "You have been brought here, can I not come?"
Liu Xiangju did not expect that she would be forcibly brought to the gambling house by Hu Batian, but Ling Chu came to rescue her in a blink of an eye.
His eyes turned red, and tears kept falling down like broken beads.
Sitting on the Taishi chair is Tao Cheng, the chief steward of Changlefang.
Seeing the girl in front of him barging in and interrupting his good deeds, his face suddenly sank, "Whose girl are you from? You dare to break into my gambling house. You are very brave."
Tao Cheng was angry. Steward Wu and the gang of thugs below were both useless, but they didn't even stop a little girl and allowed people to come in front of him.
When Ling first saw how he was dressed, he guessed that he was the chief steward of Changlefang.
"Boss Tao, I don't mean to offend. It's just that Hu Batian stole my people and brought them to you, so I had to come to you to ask for them." Tao Cheng asked Hu Batian with a sullen face and an unhappy look on his face, "Why? What’s going on?”
Hu Batian had just been kicked by Ling Chu and felt humiliated. Now he was even more annoyed when he heard her words.
"Miss Ling, what are you talking about? When did I steal your people?"
Seeing Hu Batian's confident face, Ling Chu almost laughed angrily.
He pointed at Liu Xiangju and said, "You have robbed everyone, yet you are still telling lies."
Hu Batian looked surprised, "You mean, this Liu Xiangju is yours?"
Ling Chu nodded, "Yes. She is my maid."
"Your maid, I bought this Liu Xiangju."
Lingchu frowned, "Did you buy it? Where did you buy it from?"
“Liu Dongluo personally sold his daughter to me.”
Lingchu sneered, "Impossible."
This Hu Batian is truly a bully and talks nonsense.
Liu Dongluo had already sold Liu Xiangju to a group of traffickers like Mr. Yao. After Ge's accident, he disappeared.
She didn’t even know that Liu Xiangju was rescued by her, so how could she sell her to Hu Batian.
"It's impossible. I didn't lie. Liu Xiangju was indeed sold by her father." Hu Batian looked angry, fearing that Manager Tao would misunderstand that he was not doing things well.
With a hand, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket and said, "This is Liu Xiangju's deed of betrayal. If Miss Ling doesn't believe it, you can confront Liu Dongluo."
Ling Chu was stunned. Seeing that Hu Batian didn't look like he was lying, he couldn't help but reached out and took the piece of paper and read it carefully.
After reading ten lines at a glance, Ling Chu felt his heart go cold.
It turned out to be a real sale of one's body.
It is not only signed by Liu Dongluo, but also fingerprinted.
Seeing that Ling Chu had finished reading, Hu Batian said angrily, "Well, I didn't lie. I didn't rob this person, he bought it with real money."
This Liu Xiangju is good-looking. The last time he saw Liu Dongluo, he didn't even pay for it, so he wanted to get his daughter to please Manager Tao.
It was only Miss Ling who intervened and found all Liu Dongluo's money.
Seeing that the commander of the Jinyi Guards was supporting her that day, he and Steward Lu did not dare to offend Mr. Na Ning, so they calmed down.
Unexpectedly, just a few days ago, Liu Dongluo came to him personally and said that he wanted to sell his daughter to him.
As a bully, he originally didn’t want to give money. Most of the people he likes can be obtained without spending any money.
But Liu Dongluo said he wanted to return to his hometown in a hurry. If he didn't pay, he would take his daughter away and never return to Beijing again.
Hu Batian wanted to get Liu Xiangju and give it to Manager Tao, but he was worried that Liu Dongluo would really take his daughter away and his plan would fail.
Hu Batian didn't want to cause trouble and was eager to please Tao Cheng, so he signed a contract and bought Liu Xiangju.
It was only when he took his people to Liu's house to ask for someone, that he discovered that Liu Xiangju was missing. When he couldn't find anyone, he thought Liu Dongluo had tricked him and sold his daughter to him, then secretly took her back to his hometown.
Lingchu frowned as he looked at the date on the contract.
Unexpectedly, Liu Dongluo sold Liu Xiangju to Hu Batian and Li Pingguang on the same day.
Knowing that her biological father had sold her twice, Liu Xiangju looked desperate and said, "Girl, please leave me alone and leave."
Her father signed the deed of sale, took the money and left.
There is no way the girl can save her. If she stays here, if she is bullied by these two villains, she will become a sinner.
As soon as the girl left, she would hit her dead and go down to accompany her mother.
Ling Chu sighed in her heart. She really didn't expect Liu Dongluo to be worse than that pig or dog. He forced his wife to death, secretly sold his daughter to different people, and then ran away with the money.
Ning Chuyi: I heard that someone wants to use my name to cause trouble?
Lingchu: Lord Ning, can you borrow a tiger skin and pay me in votes?
