Yi Xiaodong patiently listened to the tragic story that happened to Ma Niu. The reason why he was patient was not because Yi Xiaodong was impatient, but because he had the urge to curse.
He had always thought that Ma Niu was just an old bachelor. He did not expect that he would have such a pitiful background. If his background was pitiful, it would be fine. Why did it extend to his only family member? Sigh, God, you're unfair!
Good people don't live long, bad people live for thousands of years. No wonder there were more and more bad people these days.
Thinking about how he couldn't leave for a while, Yi Xiaodong was extremely depressed and comforted him." Uncle Ma, this matter can't be rushed. Don't be too sad. If I didn't know about this, it would have been fine. Now that I know, I will definitely think of a way to save your niece. What's her name again? Ma…Ma Qingqing, right?"
Upon hearing Yi Xiaodong's words, Ma Niu's tears flowed down his face. He bowed to Yi Xiaodong with deep gratitude. Indeed, Ma Niu was an honest and simple person. He was not complacent and arrogant because he had saved Yi Xiaodong's life. On the contrary, when he heard Yi Xiaodong say that he would help save his niece, he saw Yi Xiaodong as his savior.
After repeatedly reminding Ma Niu not to be sad, Yi Xiaodong hurriedly bought a few pears and left.
Yi Xiaodong had thought it through. Ma Niu was his benefactor. He was not his family, but he was more than family. No matter what, he had to help until the end. Even if Ma Qing Qing was still beheaded in the end, he would have a clear conscience. Sigh, it's a pity that I'm unfamiliar with this place. Otherwise, it would be much more convenient. Oh right, how could I forget about him? Hehe, there's a saying that when the mountain is at the end of the road, there's no way out. There's always a silver lining!
However, the most urgent matter at the moment was to quickly find a successor. Otherwise, how would he have the time to run around? The first person Yi Xiao Dong thought of was Liu Xian Er, but he quickly shook his head and denied it. It was fine for this little girl to lead troops to war, but it was better to forget about showing her face. Not to mention that her beauty would cause others to be jealous and guess, even if she shouted loudly, it would also make his heart ache. What if her voice broke? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
The next person that entered Yi Xiaodong's mind was Hou San. Yes, this kid was not bad. He worked hard and was very talented in acting. He had his own style back then. If he was taught well, he would be a good seedling.
Thinking of this, Yi Xiaodong decisively decided to promote Hou San to an important position!
After a hard-working performance and the award ceremony, Yi Xiaodong kindly pulled Hou San's hand and went to the teahouse.
"Hou San, ask your conscience. How have I treated you?”Yi Xiaodong asked with a smile.
"Master, you are my second parent. Without you, Hou San might still be wandering on the road. In the future, if the old master asks me to go up a mountain of blades and wait for three times, I will never go into a pot of oil.”It was obvious that Hou San had used this eight-character mantra to the extreme.
"Mm, very good!" Yi Xiaodong nodded with satisfaction." Now that Old Master has encountered a little trouble, can you help him share the burden?"”
When he heard Yi Xiaodong say that he was in trouble, Hou San's eyes darted around. His brain was spinning rapidly as he thought about what trouble Yi Xiaodong had encountered. That shouldn't be possible. The lottery business was so popular that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as making a lot of money every day. Well, as long as it wasn't bankruptcy, it was fine.
Thinking of this, Hou San stood up and patted his chest." Old Master, let alone a small problem, even if it's a big problem, as long as Old Master tells Hou San not to frown."”
Sometimes, it was important for people to show their loyalty.
If Yi Xiaodong's attitude towards Hou San had been at the level of admiration before, it had now risen to another level.
"With your words, Master can rest assured.”Yi Xiaodong waved his hand and gestured for him to sit down." Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that Old Master will be very busy from now on. He might be so busy that he won't have time to take care of the lottery business. I saw that you're quite smart, so I wanted to give you a good weight on your shoulders to train you." From now on, you will be in charge of the lottery.”At this point, Yi Xiaodong slowly took a sip of tea and changed the topic." If you do well, the old master will naturally reward you heavily and promote you. If you don't do well, you will pack up and leave!”
Hearing that there was money to be made, Hou San couldn't stop smiling. He repeatedly patted his chest and guaranteed that the old master would definitely be satisfied.
Considering that he couldn't dampen Hou San's enthusiasm, Yi Xiaodong had no choice but to leave quietly with a livid face, leaving Hou San beaming with joy.
"What's wrong? What's the matter? Why was he smiling so wretchedly? If you laugh again, do you believe that I will dig out your eyes?”Liu Xian Er was currently counting copper coins when she saw Yi Xiaodong standing in front of her with a silly smile. For some reason, a nameless fire surged from the bottom of her heart.
This woman was really fierce. Considering that he was no match for Liu Xian Er, Yi Xiaodong quickly wiped away his smile and said in all seriousness," I have something to discuss with you." He then told her everything that had happened to Ma Niu.
Although Liu Xian Er was the leader of the bandits, she was still a kind person. Moreover, as a bandit, she only robbed the rich to help the poor and did justice for the heavens. She never killed the innocent. Now that she heard such a tragic story, her eyes instantly turned red. Her voice was a little hoarse as she said," Ai, how pitiful. What should we do now?" Oh right, we have earned some silver now. Why don't we give it to Uncle Ma?”
Seeing how sympathetic Liu Xian Er was, Yi Xiao Dong's heart was sweeter than honey. Yes, you should find a wife like this. She could go to the hall and the kitchen. If she didn't hit Doudou, she would act coquettishly.
"Giving silver is only a temporary solution. Uncle Ma saved my life, so I must think of a way to save his niece.”Yi Xiaodong said," I've already talked to Hou San. From now on, he'll be in charge of opening the lottery. However, I'm still a little worried. After all, he's still a layman. There are many things that he might not understand as well as I do. So, besides counting the silver, you can also supervise him." Sigh, I'm really heartbroken to make you so tired all of a sudden.”
Liu Xian Er felt warmth in her heart, but her face remained expressionless,""It's good that you know that I'm tired. If you can't gather five thousand taels of silver, just watch how I deal with you.”
After reminding Liu Xian Er of some things to take note of, Yi Xiao Dong shamelessly 'borrowed' ten silver pieces and left. He had no choice, he couldn't afford to be short of silver later.
After watching Yi Xiaodong leave, Liu Xian Er fell into deep thought.
Yi Xiaodong first bought some pastries from the grocery store, then he bought some wine, meat, and vegetables from the Immortals Gathering Restaurant. After thinking that he didn't lack anything else, he inquired all the way to the Crescent City Women's Prison.
Outside the prison were two female prison guards. After explaining their intentions, the female prison guard flatly rejected Yi Xiaodong's desire to visit the prison.
Yi Xiaodong also knew about the 'unspoken rules' of the prison from the television. After stuffing one or two silver coins into each of them, the female warden decisively opened the cell door.
After entering the prison, Yi Xiaodong was brought to the cell where Ma Qing Qing was held by a female warden. Because she was a death row inmate and was about to be executed, Ma Qing Qing was locked up in a cell alone.
After giving a tael of silver to the female warden, the female warden opened the cell door with a smile.
At this moment, Ma Qing Qing was sitting on the ground with her legs crossed in a daze. When she heard the door open, she immediately came back to her senses. However, when she looked up and saw that it was a man she didn't recognize, she lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
