Zhao Ling left Luo Yufang and went to Yipin Xuan again.
Yipin Xuan wss located at the end of Zhuque Street. Since it sold antique calligraphy and painting, the environment needed to be relatively quiet. Yipin Xuan's shopkeeper that Zhao Ling did not change was a shopkeeper named Wu Guo.
Zhao Ling investigated. Although this shopkeeper Wu didn't make any achievements, just like his name, he didn't make any mistakes, and he was highly professional.
Zhao Ling couldn't find another suitable candidate for a while. After doing some kind of findings on the shopkeeper Wu, she decided to keep him, but he was assigned an accountant so that they could supervise each other, and asked him to do it regularly. Account verification, outbound and inbound were all registered in detail, and reported to her on a regular basis.
By the time Zhao Ling finished checking Yipin Xuan's accounts, it was already dusk. Remembering that she agreed to Madame Zhao today to accompany her to dinner, she feared that the time might be too late. So, under the leadership of Luzhu, Zhao Ling and her maid servant took a shortcut, planning to cross the alley at the end of the street, which could save half of the distance.
The alley was very quiet, and there was usually no one passing by. When Zhao Ling and her maid servant walked to the depths of the alley, there were a few small gangsters in front of them. The leader had an extremely wretched face with a scar. He approached Zhao Ling step by step, and said with a grin. "Oh, this is who's little lady. Who has a delicate skin and tender flesh, don't hesitate to lift the veil. Let the Lord take a closer look."
Lu Zhu guarded Zhao Ling in a panic, and summoned the courage to shout loudly. "Bold, what do you want to do? Do you know whose lady this is? Get out of here!"
"Bah!" Scarface sipped, and said, "Master, who cares about her, as long as I look at her, that's all. You can't escape from the palm of this master."
The three gangsters next to each other laughed and agreed. One of the gangsters with a big mole on his face said. "San Ye, this little girl looks pretty good, she's so beautiful. You can give her to us if you don't want. Bar?"
Lu Zhu's face turned pale when she heard it, but she still insisted on protecting Zhao Ling, not avoiding it.
Zhao Ling patted the back of Luzhu's hand to signal her not to be afraid. She was still a little touched by the loyalty of this girl. In modern times, she was an orphan, had no relatives, and few friends. She was a relatively indifferent person in terms of interpersonal relations, and she did not know how to get along with others. She cherished the sincere treatment of Luzhu and Mother Xu.
Lu Zhu saw the calm eyes of the young lady, and the panic in her heart was relieved a bit. For some reason, the current lady always had a power to calm people down, and people couldn't help but want to believe her. Such a lady was really attractive.
Zhao Ling looked at the Scarface in front of her coldly, took out a small willow leaf dagger hidden in her cuffs, and secretly held it in her hand.
This willow-leaf dagger was bought at a shop next to Luo Yufang just now. Seeing that it had a light shape and a sharp blade, it was very suitable for making a scalpel. She bought it and planned to go to the iron shop to make a complete set according to this look. Needed, it just happened to be available now.
Afterwards, she said to Scarface. "Is it Sanye? Who sent you here? Is it a man or a woman, is it young or old, is it one person or two people?" Questions upon question she threw at him, stunning Scarface. She walked lightly to deceive him with her body movement. She put a dagger on Scarface's neck, and continued to ask in a flat tone. "That person, did he or she ask you to humiliate us, or to intimidate us, or both?"
Scarface was caught off guard and was successfully attacked by Zhao Ling. Looking at Zhao Ling in disbelief, he seemed to be unable to believe that a charming lady with a knife gesture was so sharp and sharp that his eyes widened, and he didn't know how to react. .
Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhao Ling's hand holding the knife tightened, and soon, a blood stain appeared on the neck of Scarface. He felt the cold pain, and yelled in anger, "Stop it, no one sent me, we just happened to pass by here. Take the knife away and dare to hurt San Ye, you will regret it."
Zhao Ling gave a cold snort and was about to continue to ask him when he heard Lu Zhu's cry. "Miss, help me!"
She turned her head and saw that the other three gangsters were clutching green bamboo, and the green bamboo struggled to get free, and was slapped several times by the mole. After a while, blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
Although Scarface was a local ruffian, he grew up in fights after all. His actual combat experience was definitely richer than Zhao Ling. She was distracted by Scarface who found a chance and waved his backhand in her direction. He knocked down the dagger in Zhao Ling's hand, and immediately raised his foot, kicking Zhao Ling to the ground.
"Miss, miss, how are you?" Lu Zhu exclaimed, really hating herself in her heart, and blame herself for uselessness. Not only could she not protect her, but she also drags her back. Seeing Zhao Ling being kicked down, she blamed herself and cried distressedly.
Zhao Ling fell to the ground, holding her stomach. Although it was not a big problem, still she thought about not being able to defend herself with regret. Sure enough, her actual combat experience was not good enough, and recently she has been too negligent to exercise. This had made her so weak.
Scarface picked up the dagger on the ground, reached out to touch the bleeding wound on his neck, walked up to Zhao Ling viciously, and used the dagger to remove the veil on her face. After seeing the scar on her face, He sneered and said. "What kind of celestial beauty I thought it was. It turned out to be an ugly monster. Look at this scar, it's worse than the one on my face."
A fierce light flashed in Scarface's eyes, and he lifted the dagger to scratch Zhao Ling's face.
