The next day, around noon, in front of the gate of the deserted Zhou Mansion.

Li Yao led a horse, and said to a farmer pushing a cart, "Just stop here, and wait for me here first."

The farmer responded honestly, stood still, but looked around curiously.

Li Yao led the horse, pushed open the door, and walked in.

At this time, Ding Xiu came over from the main hall with a piece of thatch in his mouth, "Master, where did you go yesterday? Why didn't you come back until now? I'm really worried that you ran away on horseback." , when the time comes, I will still have to pay for the horse money.”

While tying the horse to a tree, Li Yao said, "Twenty taels of silver are enough for you to buy a horse."

Ding Xiu giggled, suddenly his expression changed, he stared at the horse, and said doubtfully, "This is not the horse from yesterday!"

After tying the horse, Li Yao turned around and walked out of the gate, "This horse is much better than yesterday's one. If you return it to your friend, you might be able to pay him a fortune."

Ding Xiu followed behind Li Yao, and said with a straight face: "Master, you underestimate me too much, am I that kind of person?"

Li Yao smiled and said, "Remove the word 'what', you are that kind of person."

At this moment, Li Yao has come to the gate.

He took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and threw it to the farmer pushing the cart, "This is for your hard work."

The farmer took the ten taels of silver with both hands, and was surprised and happy. His hands holding the silver were trembling.

He had never seen so much silver.

Ten taels of silver is equivalent to the income of their farmers for one or two years.

The young man in front of him is really generous.

Ding Xiu also came to the gate. He stared at the cart, and said in astonishment: "Master, you brought this... this coffin?"

Li Yao nodded, looked at the coffin lying on the cart, and thought about how to move the coffin in.

The farmer hastily collected the ten taels of silver, rubbed his hands together, and suggested, "My lord, let me help you move the coffin in."

Li Yao shook his head and said, "No need, I can do it by myself."

The farmer hurriedly said, "This coffin is so big and heavy that one person cannot carry it..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were already stared straight, and he could no longer speak the following words.

Because, he saw Li Yao lifting the coffin with both hands, as easy as lifting a bench.

This, this... this strength is too much!

Ding Xiu also widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide, his eyes full of disbelief.

No wonder he lost to Li Yao the night before yesterday.

This Li Yao is simply possessed by the overlord holding the tripod.

Li Yao lifted the coffin, walked lightly into Zhou Mansion, and said to Ding Xiu: "Send that man away, and then close the gate of the mansion."

Today, Li Yao's physical attributes are many times that of ordinary people.

Lifting up a small coffin is naturally a no-brainer.

Entering Zhou Mansion, Li Yao put the coffin in a wing room.

Ding Xiu followed and asked curiously, "Master, why did you bring a coffin here?"

Li Yao looked outside and asked, "Has the farmer been sent away? Is the gate of the mansion closed?"

Ding Xiu nodded.

Li Yao was relieved now.

Then, he pushed open the coffin lid with one hand.

Ding Xiu looked inside and saw a gray-haired old man lying in the coffin.

He jumped up in shock, pointed at the bad old man, and asked in a trembling voice: "Master, why did you bring a dead man here?"

Li Yao said with a faint smile: "He is Wei Xie, he is not dead yet!"

"what?"

Ding Xiu was even more surprised, "Uncle, you went out yesterday just to bring this Wei Xie back?"

Li Yao nodded.

Ding Xiu was puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle, why did you bring Wei Xie back from robbery?"

Li Yao smiled and said, "Don't you think he looks like a pile of gold?"

Ding Xiu immediately understood, and a greedy and treacherous smile appeared on his face, "It turns out that my uncle is also greedy for money."

Immediately, he frowned again and said, "But, this pile of gold is a bit hot."

Li Yao glanced at Ding Xiu contemptuously, and said disdainfully, "If you are greedy for money, you are afraid of burning your hands. You deserve it all your life will only blackmail your junior brother."

Ding Xiu quickly said seriously: "Who said that, I, Ding Xiu, am not afraid of anything..."

Li Yao immediately interrupted: "That's very good, help me keep an eye on this pile of gold, I'm going out for a while."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle, where are you going?"

Without turning his head, Li Yao said, "Go to Shen Lian and return him twenty taels of gold."

Ding Xiu rolled his eyes and quickly asked, "What about mine?"

Li Yao took out two ingots of gold from his pocket, and threw them back, "Ten taels of gold is the reward I promised you yesterday, and the other ten taels of gold is for my hard work in keeping that pile of gold in check."

Ding Xiu caught Jin Zi steadily, and grinned, "Master Uncle is really a cheerful person."

Li Yao rode a horse and came to the gate of Fusi Yamen Office in Beizhen.

He asked the yamen servant at the gate of the yamen office, and learned that the three brothers Shen Lian hadn't come back yet.

So, he found a seat at a nearby food stall and sat down, eating while waiting for Shen Lian.

Soon, only the sound of rumbling horseshoes was heard.

Li Yao followed the sound and looked over.

I saw the three brothers Shen Lian, leading a group of Jin Yiwei, rushing towards the government office.

At the gate of the government office, the three brothers Shen Lian got off their horses and prepared to go back to the government office.

Li Yao walked over and shouted, "Shen Lian!"

The three brothers Shen Lian looked back at Li Yao.

Li Yao found that the three brothers' faces were ashen and ugly, as if they had suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck.

Li Yao laughed secretly in his heart, the three brothers didn't catch up with Wei Zhongxian, which means that the errands were messed up, so it's strange that they look good.

When Shen Lian saw that it was Li Yao, he asked suspiciously, "Do you need something from me?"

Li Yao took out two ingots of gold from his pocket and threw them to Shen Lian, "I'll pay you back twenty taels of gold."

The three Shen Lian brothers looked at each other.

The night before yesterday, Li Yao took Shen Lian's twenty taels of silver away, and said he would return Shen Lian's twenty taels of gold today.

At that time, they thought Li Yao was joking.

Unexpectedly, Li Yao actually returned Shen Lian's twenty taels of gold today.

Shen Lian said: "I said before, the twenty taels of silver is considered as a gift from me, and you don't have to pay it back."

Li Yao smiled and said, "I also said that if I lend you twenty taels of silver and return you twenty taels of gold, a man promises a thousand gold."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Shen Lian looked at Li Yao's back and fell into deep thought.

How did Li Yao get so much gold in such a short period of time?

Could it be that he really went to rob houses?

Suddenly, Shen Lian's heart moved, and he muttered to himself: "Could it be him who kidnapped Wei Xie?"

Hearing that Shen Lian seemed to be talking, Jin Yichuan quickly asked, "Second Brother, what are you talking about?"

Shen Lian immediately woke up, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's go in quickly."
