Republic of China small businessman

Master Jiu didn't drive, but only brought Zhang Huwei and a few people over.

It was far away, and when we rushed over, the lanterns were already lit and hung beside the carriage.

The accompanying guards were dressed in dark clothes, and their steps were light, making it difficult to be seen by the side of the carriage.

When they were approaching Jingshui Lane, they suddenly heard commotion in front of them. The carriage didn't stop, but after only a few steps, a clay flowerpot fell from the wall to the carriage, and it shattered to the ground with a bang!The horses were frightened and neighed, and the coachman immediately reined in: "Woo, woo—"

The person who smashed something and stopped the carriage didn't wait to find him, rushed over by himself, stood in front of the carriage and yelled: "Come down, come down! No matter who comes here today, you are not allowed to pass through here. You know which family is in front of you!" Is it..." Before he finished speaking, the guards of the Bai family who surrounded him pressed their hands on the ground one by one. With a kick in the knee, he immediately made people kneel in front of him.

The man wanted to yell, but he heard a "click" from his temple, followed by the cold barrel of the gun against his head. He recognized the pistol, and suddenly his throat seemed to be squeezed, and the sound stopped abruptly. Cold sweat rolled down.

A hand stretched out from the carriage, lifted a corner of the curtain, coughed lightly and asked, "Which family are you from?"

The person kneeling there felt his heart skip a beat when he heard the voice, he didn't know well, he faltered twice, Zhang Huwei hit his head with a gun, and asked, "I'm asking you something, why don't you hurry up!"

The man was pointed at the gun, and he didn't dare to lie, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Yes, he is the second leader of the Black Tiger Gang, please forgive me, we are not stopping your lord, it's just that we mistook the carriage when it was dark. ..."

Master Jiu asked again: "What are you doing here?"

"This, this is for coming to see people." The man knelt there, still thinking about his own life, and quickly said: "Our second leader accidentally saw a little lady inside, and felt that she was quite a hit, so I thought about it. I came to visit a few times, and there are many people around here for the past few days, and they are also worried, so I came to visit in the middle of the night."

Zhang Huwei stretched out his hand and gave him a slap on the back of the head, snorting coldly: "It's not your turn to do grandpa's errand, so you need to mind your own business and come to 'patrol'? Do you know whose house this is? I'm blind you Even my dog ​​eyes dare to come here to act wildly!"

Bai Jiuye figured out what was going on in the blink of an eye, and was a little impatient, "All these people will be sent to the officials, drive to Jingshui Lane."

Zhang Huwei took the order and assigned several people to send the captured people to the police. Those who dared to make a sound or wanted to run away were all slapped unconscious and dragged away.

The second head of the Black Tiger Gang who came to handle errands earlier was just a short black fat man who hadn't climbed over the courtyard wall for a long time and was punched several times in the face by the guards of the Bai family. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen. There are many people shouting.

Zhang Huwei usually leads the people who follow Master Jiu, who are all good players with one as ten. Seeing such a battle now, he went forward to help Wang Su and others tie them up directly, no matter what the second masters or errands, they tied up all of them A bunch of them were sent to the government together.

Well Water Lane, a small house.

Bai Jiuye sat in the upper seat, and Liu Ruyi stood beside him.

The people here told Master Jiu all the things they asked, and after the report was over, they asked in a low voice: "Master, Liu Ruyi is here, do you want to call that He Lianchun?"

"No need." Master Jiu asked again, "Jing'er is still here, go and call him over."

The guard said carefully: "If you go back to the master, Xiao Xie just left before a stick of incense."

"Where did you go?"

"We don't know about this either. Second Young Master Bai came to pick him up in person."

Bai Jiuye nodded and said, "I see, you can go down."

After retreating from the guards and those serving around him, Bai Jiuye just sat there without speaking for a long time.

Liu Ruyi stood slightly below his right hand side, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes. She just took the medicine, and she looked a bit sick and beautiful. I felt pity for her.

It's just that she had stood for a long time, and her steps were a little soft. She raised her eyes a little to look, but she met Master Jiu.

Bai Jiuye's eyes were too cold, Liu Ruyi's heart trembled, and she quickly lowered her head, only to be seen through by the other party just now with a single glance, that feeling was really not good, and she was a little panicked.

The room is quiet, only the shadows of candles can be seen from the outside, and two shadows can be vaguely seen through the paper window.

But after a while, there was a sound of pipa in the room.

The guards looked at each other and stood in the yard without daring to move, not knowing what was going on.

Someone asked in a low voice: "Captain, our master is here today, isn't he here to try the case and listen to the song?"

"Listen honestly, don't make a sound, you dare to guess what Master Jiu is thinking!"

A few guards were listening to the pipa outside. They didn't understand the tune, but the people in the room understood it.

Master Jiu sat in the main seat, with no expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He only occasionally raised his eyes to look at Liu Ruyi who was sitting five steps away from him when the piano was trembling slightly.

Liu Ruyi was looked at like a light on her back, she pressed her fingers on the strings, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Master Jiu, I played it wrong again. I am really not familiar with the piece you mentioned, and I have only seen the score once or twice. I'll learn it carefully before playing it for you."

Master Jiu said: "Play a piece of Xunyang."

Liu Ruyi: "This, I don't know how to do this either."

Master Jiu said again: "Then pick up Ju Shilin and Chen Zijing's two songs and listen to them."

There was tolerance in her words, but Liu Ruyi hadn't been exposed to so many tunes, all she knew were the few pieces that her mother in the building had hired a luthier to teach, and she had never heard the names of the things that the ninth master of the Bai family said.Master Jiu asked her to play a song two or three times, but Liu Ruyi couldn't do it.

Liu Ruyi was sitting across from her with her pipa in her arms, biting her lower lip tightly: "I only know some little tunes from my hometown, how about..."

Master Jiu said softly, "That's all."

Liu Ruyi's face turned pale, and there was still a gauze wrapped around her neck, but she sat there and didn't get up to leave.

"I have already asked, He Lianchun did draw you, but she has been drawing for so long, you really didn't notice it? There is some reason for you to hit her, but you scratched yourself and made such a big fuss, just for your own sake. See me." Master Jiu looked at her with calm eyes, "You have worked so hard, what are you asking for?"

Liu Ruyi suddenly knelt in front of him with her pipa in her arms, her voice trembling: "Jiuye, you and Young Master Cao are usually on good terms, Ruyi doesn't ask for anything else, just tell him to come and see me .”
