Chapter 111 The Mysterious Young Woman
Chapter 111 The Mysterious Young Woman
"Although our Pei family has fallen, the dignity of the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Li family will never be abandoned."
As she spoke, the young woman lifted the curtain, nodded slightly to Li Quan, and then sat down again.
Li Quan looked at the woman and felt a little pity in his heart.
"Miss, have you encountered any problems? Tell me, maybe I can help you solve it!"
Listening to Li Quan's words, the young woman lifted the curtain again and looked at Li Quan curiously.
Judging from Li Quan's dress, he also seems to be a child of aristocratic family.
However, she knew most of the young men from the noble families in Wuling County, but she didn't remember anyone like Li Quan.
I guess he is a descendant of a noble family from outside.
He has no idea about the twists and turns in Wuling County, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing.
Thinking of this, the young woman couldn't help but sigh again, and then she remembered what she had experienced during this period of time, and her eyes couldn't help but redden slightly.
"Forget it. Since you are willing to help, I am not afraid to tell you."
"My father has passed away due to illness. The family business is all supported by me. Now, I am pregnant again. If I don't pay the medical fee in full, I am afraid I will not be able to keep the child."
"I won't hide it from you, sir."
"This time I am pregnant with a boy. My parents died early. So I have always regarded this as my life."
"Now, I really can't afford the money. So, I can only ask you to be kind and lend me ten taels of silver first. When I have money in the future, I will definitely pay you back double."
The young woman pleaded.
"Twelve?"
Li Quan exclaimed.
Ten taels of silver is not a small amount!
It is enough for an ordinary family of three to live on for two years.
"Sir, this number is really not that high."
The young woman said.
Her face was filled with sadness.
"We are an orphan and a widow, and it is really difficult for us to make ends meet. If you can give us some alms, we will definitely repay you generously in the future."
After listening to this, Li Quan felt sad.
This world is so cruel!
It seems that this person is also a poor person.
"Li Gui, go and give this lady ten taels of silver."
Before leaving this time, Li Quan finally declined Emperor Kang's offer to give him 500 guards, and instead only took a dozen people with him.
One of them was Li Gui, who had always served him when he was in the capital.
After hearing this, Li Gui didn't waste any words. He took out ten taels of silver from his purse, ran to the young woman's carriage, and handed it to her with both hands.
"Thank you for your help, sir!"
The young woman looked at the banknote in Li Gui's hand, her face filled with joy, and she quickly reached out to take it.
"You're welcome, madam."
Li Gui bowed, then retreated to the side of Li Quan's carriage and stood there silently.
The young woman looked at the banknote in her hand, her eyes flickering with excitement, as if she was thinking about something, with a smile on her lips...
On the other hand, the maid was still not convinced.
"Humph, a poor country bumpkin, what right do you have to try to get close to our young lady?"
"you shut up!"
The young woman reprimanded her.
"What do you know? The young master is very generous, he must be from a noble family."
"Although he is young, he does things flawlessly. Not only did he give me money, but he didn't have too much conversation. What does this mean? This means that if anything happens to me in the future, he can say it has nothing to do with him. Such a person is definitely not an ordinary person."
"Do you think his background and identity are inferior to our young master's?"
The maid was speechless when she heard this.
"Okay, let's go. We still have to get to Guangping County tonight."
After saying this, the young woman lowered the curtain.
......
Since entering the city, Li Quan no longer took a carriage. After getting off the carriage, he walked on the streets of Wuling County.
Looking at the beggars and refugees on both sides, Li Quan became more and more frightened.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!"
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of horse hooves in Wuling County, and then a young man in luxurious clothes was seen galloping on his horse on a small street in Wuling County.
When the beggars on both sides saw this, they quickly twisted their bodies and retreated to the side as much as possible.
Everyone, except Li Quan, stood still, watching the young man on horseback getting closer and closer to him.
"court death!"
The young man obviously did not notice Li Quan's presence.
When he found that Li Quan dared to block his way, he roared angrily and was ready to drive his horse to hit Li Quan away.
At this time, a sudden change occurred.
A figure suddenly jumped out and grabbed the horse's reins.
"Xu~"
The horse was frightened, raised its four hooves, and shook its head violently to one side.
The young man in fancy clothes was caught off guard and fell upside down.
"Ouch!"
The boy fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
"You dare to attack me? My father is the magistrate of Wuling County. You are finished!"
The young man climbed up in a panic and stared at Li Quan fiercely.
Li Quan looked at the dandy young man in front of him, frowning slightly: "Son of the county magistrate?"
"Exactly!"
The young man said arrogantly.
"Does your father know what the crime of riding a horse and injuring someone in the street is?"
Li Quan said indifferently.
"you!"
The young man flew into a rage and drew his sword, pointing it at Li Quan.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you teach me a lesson?"
Li Quan sneered: "Do you believe that even if I kill you, your father won't dare to do anything to me?"
"kill me?"
The boy sneered.
"Ha ha!"
The boy seemed to have heard some funny joke.
"You are just a merchant, yet you dare to try to kill me? Who do you think you are? Don't you know that my father is the magistrate of Wuling County? Do you think I am afraid of you?"
"Hehe, I don't know your identity, but I know who your father is."
Li Quan sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.
"Ok?"
Mr. Li was stunned for a moment, as if he felt that Li Quan had an extraordinary bearing. After hesitating for a while, he still asked, "Who are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am. How about this? I'll wait for you here. Go call your father and see if he recognizes me."
"Okay, just wait!"
Liu Shan hurriedly ran towards the county government office.
In the county government office, Liu Guang was flirting with his new concubine in the back hall, when Liu Shan barged in and started howling, "Dad, you have to take charge of this for me! Someone beat me up and said he would make you kneel before him!"
When Liu Guang heard this, he immediately dropped the concubine in his arms and was furious: "How can this be! Take my handwritten order, take Captain Zhou and the constables in the yamen and quickly arrest this man!"
"Dad, don't worry about it. I have already sent someone to invite Captain Zhou and the constables from the yamen. I believe they will be here soon."
Liu Shan said with a chuckle.
He had long been unhappy with Li Quan. In Wuling County, no one had ever dared to disobey him. This time, he was determined to skin that man alive.
"Oh? Have you already hired the bailiffs?"
Liu Guang was a little surprised.
But he immediately shook his head: "No matter what, since this person dared to beat you, he should be severely punished!"
