Liu San hurriedly caught up with Minister Li and knelt down in front of him again. He begged,"Old Master, Liu San is willing to exchange his life for Wu Song's life. Please fulfill his wish!”When Huizhen heard this sentence, her heart was immediately filled with waves. Although Wu Song was captured by the government this time, it should be Liu San's personal design, but Wu Song seemed to have killed someone. Otherwise, why would so many people agree? Just now, if Liu San wasn't here, she would have been a member of the You family and her father would have been imprisoned. She loved Wu Song, but she couldn't save him. Wu Song loved her, but he couldn't save her. Now, the only one who could save her and Wu Song was Liu San.
This time, Minister Li did not give in. He said,"My Li Village isn't a money house. You can take this and ask for that. How much do I have? If they wanted the government to release Wu Song, they would have to spend money to bribe the victim's family and send some bribes to the government. How much money would they have to spend? Wu Song is not related to me, and Huizhen has nothing to do with me. Why should I save them?”After saying that, he ignored Liu San who was still kneeling and left.
Liu San pondered for a moment before returning to the room and saying to Hui Zhen,"You also saw it just now. It's not that I didn't want to save Wu Song, but I really couldn't maintain it! You heard what Minister Li said, right? You're not a member of the Li family, so he can't control you!”
Hui Zhen knew that this was his trick, but at this time, in order to save Wu Song, there was no other way. In a moment, she made a decision. As long as Wu Song was alive, she was happy. Why bother about other things? "Stop your flowery words. How can I not understand what you mean?" Since things have come to this, there's nothing I can do. Alright, if I marry you, I can be considered a member of the Li family, right?”
Liu San couldn't help but be overjoyed." Are you serious?" he asked." You won't go back on your word?"”
"Of course it's true. I won't go back on my word.”Hui Zhen said calmly.
"Then…how many days later?" Liu San could not wait any longer and said," The official gave Wu Song a deadline of three days. If the victim still did not withdraw the lawsuit after three days, it would be too late even if Minister Li wanted to help. How about we get married tomorrow? Once you marry into the Li family, you will be considered a member of the Li family. Minister Li will not stand by and do nothing. I will urge you to postpone the investigation of Wu Song's case three days ago! After that, he sent money to all parties. In about ten days, Wu Song could leave the yamen.”
"Alright, I'll do as you say!" Huizhen had no other thoughts, only wishing to save Wu Song quickly.
In this way, Huizhen married Liu San. Liu San kept his word and withdrew the complaint. The government naturally did not pursue it. Liu San's so-called spending some money and spending ten days was just for show. Of course, the ill-informed Hui Zhen would not understand this. Ever since she married Liu San, she did not suffer any grievances. She expected that she would not have a chance with Wu Song in this life, so she settled down and lived with Liu San. She often treated Liu San as Wu Song, deceiving herself and living, but she could also enjoy herself.
At this moment, he heard that his father had been escorted here by the people from the Zhu family's casino to ask for gambling debts. Moreover, it was ten thousand taels of gold. No matter what, the Li family would not be able to pay such a sum. And if he sought help from Wu Song, with Wu Song's personality, he would either kill someone or destroy the scene. In the end, he would still be involved in a lawsuit and implicate him instead. Thus, he decided to come out and take a look at the situation before making a decision.
The three of them walked out of the manor and saw their father, a gambler, kneeling on the ground, tied up. There were quite a few people around him. Some were hired thugs from the Zhu Family's casino, and some were passers-by. Standing in the middle was a young man with a silver spear on the ground. He looked majestic. It was obvious that he was the manager of the Zhu family's casino. He seemed to be more than a blessing. Blessing stood at the side, looking extremely respectful.
Hui Zhen walked up to the gambler and said,"You lost again?" How could he lose so much?" At this moment, she was very calm. She was already used to her father's gambling.
"Huizhen, this time you managed to save Father. Father promises to never gamble again. Make a good living and live peacefully…" Huizhen waved her hand to interrupt him."Sir, are my father's debts still here?”
"Of course they're all here. Otherwise, why would I, Zhu Biao, personally come to ask for them?"”As he spoke, he took out a stack of loan receipt and handed it to Huizhen. When the crowd heard this, they all said," So this is the third young master of the Zhu Family of Lone Dragon Gang. He's one of the three heroes of the Zhu Family. His martial arts cultivation is the best!" There's going to be a good show this time!"
Hui Zhen took it and flipped through it. First, it was a few hundred taels, then it was a thousand taels. When she flipped to the end, there was actually a note that borrowed three thousand taels, and it was gold. She couldn't help but be shocked and said,"Can he bet so much?"
"He's right here. Go and ask him yourself!”Zhu Biao raised his head and said.
"Father!" Hui Zhen turned to the gambler and said," You can borrow three thousand gold taels in one go, is that true?”
Gambler nodded timidly and said," I wanted to borrow money to recoup my losses, but the more I bet, the bigger I lost…" Hui Zhen gasped. Although she had heard from Cheng Ziang that it was ten thousand taels of gold, she did not expect him to lend her three thousand taels of gold at once! This amount was not enough even if they sacrificed their lives. After thinking for a moment, he said to Zhu Biao," Master, I really can't do anything about this. Why don't you report it to the government? The government will make the decision!"”
Based on her previous experience, Huizhen knew that she didn't have to pay with her life if she couldn't repay the money she borrowed. Now that her father was so disappointing, she had no choice but to let the government send him to prison to suffer. As soon as she finished speaking, Gambler begged," Huizhen, save your father one more time, just this once…" He actually kowtowed to his own daughter.
Huizhen said angrily,"Father, forgive your daughter's disrespect, but I can't save you this time!"”After saying that, she covered her face and cried.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao lifted his silver spear and pushed it against the ground, causing the stone floor to crack. He smiled and said,""Ten thousand taels of gold is enough to exchange for the lives of a hundred thousand peasants. How can it be settled so easily? After reporting it to the officials, the officials sentenced him to a thousand miles of exile, but left him a dog's life. How could I be willing?”
Huizhen stopped crying.”
Zhu Biao snorted coldly and said,"The Zhu family casino can only admit that they're unlucky to have such a scoundrel." Now, I will draw out two paths. You can decide which one you want to take. He had given One-Inch Incense a time limit. Either he returned the money in full or he killed this scoundrel here!”
Gambler, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately collapsed to the ground and begged,"" Huizhen, save me, Huizhen, save me…" He had no other way out except to rely on this daughter of his. When the onlookers heard the words " One-inch Fragrance ", some of them could guess Zhu Biao's intentions. They whispered,""So it's to take revenge!”Someone said," I don't think so. The gambler did owe someone money. Think about it, fifty thousand gold taels. It's already easy to let him off with his life!”
Huizhen said anxiously," You reported it to the authorities. No matter how the authorities judged him, it's all his own fault. I have no complaints." And isn't it against the law for you to set up a private execution ground to take his life?”
