Chapter 170 Li Youran’s Backers Are Powerful
Chapter 170 Li Youran’s Backers Are Powerful
When Li Youran heard about the good friend that his third brother made, his brows furrowed. What kind of friend is this? Is he trying to cheat his third brother of his money?
Third brother must have owed more than a little money. No, I have to win it back. Not only the capital, but all the money from those people has to be won back.
"Why not? Since my third brother has been losing, I, as his younger sister, should give it a try too!"
Li Youran said this proudly. Han Yan found a bench. Li Youran stood on the bench and looked at the situation in front of the table. There was no money left in front of his third brother.
Then he took out a few banknotes from his small cloth bag and said proudly, "I'm all in!"
The people around looked at the banknote, swallowed, and exchanged glances with each other.
"Then let's begin!"
Peng Wen glanced at Li Youran, then looked at the banknotes in front of Li Youran.
Li Youran shook the dice, and all six dice turned together, then they were put on the table, and then he guessed the size of the other party.
"Your matter is small!" Peng Wen said confidently to Li Youran.
"Yours is smaller!" Li Youran replied unwillingly.
Both of them opened the lid at the same time. Li Youran's dice was big, while Peng Wen's dice was small, so Li Youran won.
"How is this possible?" Peng Wen stared at the dice. He had clearly tampered with it, so what was going on?
Li Youran kept winning, and Peng Wen's face became worse and worse. All the money he had just won was swept away by Li Youran. Not only did he pay back the money owed to them by Li Heming, but he also made a lot of money.
"I don't want to play anymore!" Peng Wen put down the dice angrily and left with his people.
"Third brother, let's go back too!" Li Youran put the silver into his small cloth bag.
"Sister, I... I still owe 30,000 taels for a gambling car. Peng Wen helped me borrow it from the gambling house. Here is the IOU." Li Heming stammered as he talked about the money he borrowed from the gambling house.
Then he slowly took out the IOU from his arms.
When Li Youran saw the signed and fingerprinted IOU, she was so angry at her third brother that she had no words to say. How could her third brother be so naive?
I hope that after going through this incident, I can see people’s true nature and realize that not all friends are good.
"Then let's go out and continue gambling until we pay off the money before leaving!" said Li Youran.
"Okay, sister, I was wrong this time. I shouldn't have..." Li Heming lowered his head and admitted his mistake. He had already understood the wickedness of human nature.
"It's good that Third Brother knows he was wrong. Let's go out!" Li Youran jumped off the bench and walked out holding Li Heming's hand.
I casually came to a gambling table, and it was the same as before. Li Youran kept winning, almost pissing everyone at the table off to death. How could this baby have such good luck!
Someone noticed this scene and left quietly.
Li Youran paid off the debt owed by Li Heming. The person in charge was very easy to talk to, and the IOU was invalidated.
Just about to go out.
A group of uninvited guests surrounded Li Youran and others.
Li Heming subconsciously protected Li Youran behind him. Han Yan and Zhu Yao took defensive postures to protect Li Youran.
"Who are you?" Li Heming looked calm.
These people were not wearing any masks and seemed to be the guards of the house.
Behind those guards, a man walked out. It was Peng Wen, with disdain and ridicule on his face.
"Catch these people and take all their money!" Peng Wen said shamelessly, looking at them with amusement. He brought the most powerful guard in his family to gamble with them. If he lost so much money, his father would definitely beat him to death.
"Peng Wen, we have known each other for a while, why are you like this..." When Li Heming saw that it was Peng Wen, he really regretted knowing this person.
"Hand over the silver!" Peng Wen didn't want to waste time talking to Li Heming.
The people at the gambling table were frightened by this scene and they all hid themselves.
Li Heming didn't waste any more words and flew over to fight with the guards.
Han Yan also started fighting with the people around her. Zhu Yao was worried about Li Youran, so she could only protect Li Youran's safety while fighting with the guards.
Si Yang and Si Yin also joined in.
"Zhu Yao, I can protect myself, you go and help my third brother!" Li Youran said to Zhu Yao with a gloomy face.
These people are really not afraid of death and actually harm people's lives for money.
Li Heming's martial arts skills were very strong. After a short while, the guards fell to the ground in pain. Li Heming did not kill them, but just hit their painful points.
Peng Wen was frightened by Li Heming's eyes and stepped back repeatedly. Seeing that the people he brought were being beaten and screaming, he thought to himself that something was wrong and he had to run away.
But Li Heming grabbed him by the back of his neck and said, "You still want to escape? Do you know who my sister is? How dare you bring people to ask for money?"
"I don't want it anymore. Isn't it okay to not want it? Please, let me go. We know each other..." Peng Wen begged for mercy intermittently, his lips trembling.
"Hmph, I just said we knew each other, what did you say?" Li Heming snorted coldly.
Li Youran came over at this time, her face cold and ruthless, "You brought my third brother to the gambling house and made him owe so much money. Now I helped my third brother win back the money, and you dared to rob him. You really don't know how to live or die!"
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me!" Peng Wen kowtowed to Li Youran and Li Heming to admit his mistake, his face full of regret.
"Si Yang, Han Yan, send this man to the prefectural government office and say that this man surrounded and attacked me and demanded money!" Li Youran gave the order directly.
Si Yang and Han Yan immediately stepped forward and dragged Peng Wen outside. No matter how Peng Wen cried and shouted, it was of no use.
"It's time for us to go back!" Li Youran said to Li Heming, his expression returning to its normal state.
After returning to the inn, Li Youran did not tell Ye and her eldest brother about her third brother's visit to the gambling house, for she was afraid that they would worry and ask questions.
Li Heming was very grateful for her sister's efforts for her and felt that she should be more vigilant in the future and not be deceived.
When Prefect Kong saw Peng Wen, the two guards beside him told him what had happened in detail.
After hearing this, Prefect Kong nodded, secretly thanking his luck that he did not offend that baby.
Although my official position is higher than that baby boy, she has a background and I can't afford to offend her! The emperor, empress, and prince are all her backers!
"Do you know you are wrong?" The majestic voice of Prefect Kong reached Peng Wen's ears, making him shiver.
Peng Wen was so frightened that he kowtowed and admitted his mistake, saying, "Sir, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"
Prefect Kong looked at Peng Wen who was trembling in front of him and sighed in his heart, this guy is really blind, he actually dared to provoke that little ancestor.
So he decided to teach Peng Wen a lesson and let him know that there are some people he cannot offend.
Following an order from Prefect Kong, Peng Wen was thrown into jail.
Before leaving, Prefect Kong walked up to Peng Wen and said to him in a low voice, "That girl is the Princess of Ruixiang County. She saved the lives of the Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince. Why did you mess with her? Isn't this courting death?"
When Peng Wen heard this, he collapsed to the ground. How could he know that the little girl was Princess Ruixiang?
Now he recalled the lotus mark on the little girl's forehead, and suddenly he understood.
It turned out to be the Ruixiang County Lady! I had offended someone I shouldn’t have! I had offended the Ruixiang County Lady’s third brother!
At this point, Peng Wen regretted it very much, but it was too late.
He could only spend long days in the cell, reflecting on his mistakes.
