Zhao Da turned pale with panic, there was no blood on his face, and he was trembling with fear.
The man slowly squatted down and placed the kitchen knife on the back of Zhao Da's hand, grinding it slowly. The blade was close to the skin, as if he was about to cut off his hand at the next moment.
Zhao Da felt like crying.
He feels a chill on the back of his hand, and he feels like he is break soon.
"Give me one more day, and I will definitely be able to pay back the money..."
The man stared coldly at Zhao Da, raised the kitchen knife, and dropped it hard. With a clang, the kitchen knife hit the ground next to his hand.
"Okay, then I'll give you one more day. I'll see the silver tomorrow! If you have thoughts that you shouldn't have... oh!" The man sneered, "You still have an old mother and a young brother."
Zhao Da was trembling all over, his lower body was wet, and an unpleasant odor came from him.
He was so frightened that he couldn't control himself.
The man waved his hand to let go and leave the house.
Zhao Da was the only one left in the room. He was shaking all over, his legs and feet were weak, and he couldn't get up for a long time.
......
Where to get such a large sum of money?
Zhao Da was so distraught that he walked on the street as if he had lost his soul.
Even if you kill him, you won't be able to get so much money.
Should he go to that dead girl Jiang Ning to ask for money?
But he flinched a little, and the maid who was highly skilled in martial arts threw him out easily. Her body was filled with coldness, as if she could kill someone. If she went to ask for money again, she would definitely not get anything good from her.
Zhao Da looked haggard and walked forward.
"Brother Zhao!" A warm voice came at this time, and Yu Er walked over from the opposite side.
Yu Er saw Zhao Da's bruised and swollen face and pretended to be shocked, "Brother Zhao, you... what's going on with you? Were you beaten? Who did it!"
When Zhao Da saw Yu Er, he felt complicated and didn't know what to say.
"Brother Zhao, tell me, brother, I will help you get revenge!" Yu Er looked daring.
Zhao Da was moved that the only person in the capital who would worry about him was this good brother.
He didn't hide anything. He sighed deeply and told the story about the gambling house's debt.
"Brother Zhao..." Yu Er lamented, "You are so confused! How can you borrow money from a gambling house!"
Zhao Da also regretted that he should not have gone to the gambling house in the first place.
He was temporarily confused and did something stupid, but now it was too late to regret it.
If he doesn't pay back the money, the people at the gambling house will chop off one of his hands!
Yu Er frowned, looking very troubled. Finally, he patted Zhao Da on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zhao, I don't have so much money to help you... Let's do this."
He took out the money bag from his arms and said, "There's something in it. Take it and escape from the capital! Hide far away and those people won't be able to find you. Come back when everything calms down."
When Zhao Da saw Brother Yu giving him all the money he had and finding a way for him, he was deeply moved and almost cried.
He held Yu Er's hand tightly, "Brother Yu..."
"Brother Zhao, hurry up and leave! You won't be able to get out of the city gate any later!"
Zhao Da shook his head, feeling desperate. He also wanted to escape, but there were still his mother and third brother here.
"This..." Yu Er frowned.
After a while, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Brother Zhao, didn't you say that you came to the Capital this time to find relative? Your relative is a high-ranking official in the capital, why don't you go and beg him?"
Zhao Da did not tell the truth to Yu Er.
Even if they are good brothers, they have only known each other for a few days and still cannot tell everything.
He vaguely said that his relatives were high-ranking officials in the capital, and he came to the capital this time to find relatives and gain glory.
Yu Er advised, "Just go and beg that relative of yours. That person can't just let you die without saving you."
Zhao Da felt complicated and clenched his fists.
Go and ask Miss Jiang?
Will Miss Jiang help?
He was a little afraid of the aloof Miss Jiang, who seemed to be separated from the untouchables like them by a gap.
Seeing Zhao Da's complex expression, Yu Er rolled his eyes, full of thoughts, patted him on the shoulder and advised, "Just relax, you are blood relatives, there is no way he could just watch something happen to you."
"Besides, doesn't that relative still have something important for you to do? If something happens to you, he won't be able to get what he needs."
Zhao Da was a little persuaded by Yu Er, and his thoughts changed slightly.
Yes.
Miss Jiang told him to make trouble. If something happened to him, wouldn't there be no one to smear Jiang Ning's reputation?
It must also be a headache for Miss Jiang.
A strange look flashed in Zhao Da's eyes, and he immediately made a decision, "Brother Yu, you are right! I will go talk to that relative right now!"
"That's right." Yu Er patted Zhao Da on the shoulder, "Go quickly. It's not easy to meet a brother with a similar temperament. I don't want anything to happen to you."
Zhao Da was moved even more deeply. Looking at Yu Er, his heart trembled.
.......
Zhao Da went to the Marquis Mansion again.
This time, he was not looking for Jiang Ning, but Jiang Mengyue.
The only person who can save him now is Miss Jiang. If something happens to him, Miss Jiang will also have a headache.
Just think of it as getting paid in advance!
When Jiang Mengyue heard that a man was looking for her, she frowned, "Who is he? Send him away quickly, cats and dogs of all kinds dare to come to our door!"
Jiang Mengyue has a bad temper.
Three days have passed since she ordered Zhao to do something, but it has not been completed yet.
Hongzhu whispered back, "That man calls himself Zhao Da. As long as you tell the lady, you will know who he is."
"Zhao Da?" Jiang Mengyue's face turned cold after hearing this, and she squeezed the cup tightly, "What is he doing here!"
You don't even do what you're told, how dare you come to the Marquis Mansion?
"I don't know, but he said he must see the young lady..." Hongzhu whispered back. The second lady's face was scary and full of anger. If she offended the second lady at this time, there would be no good consequences.
"Heh!"
Jiang Mengyue snorted coldly, originally wanting to ignore it and find someone to drive him away.
But she was a little curious, what did Zhao Da do? Could it be that something went wrong?
She still went to the back door to see Zhao Da.
When Zhao Da saw Jiang Mengyue, he felt as if he had grasped a life-saving floating grass. He walked over and said flatteringly, "Miss Jiang..."
Jiang Mengyue looked at him coldly, "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you not to appear in front of me until the matter is settled?"
"Miss Jiang..." Zhao Da's heart trembled. He did not dare to face the cold gaze of the person in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Miss Jiang, can you give me some money... If I don't pay back the money tomorrow, I will be punished by the gambling house."
"Gambling house?"
Jiang Mengyue felt her temples beating suddenly, and the anger in her heart rose.
Zhao Da felt guilty, but he couldn't care about anything at this time. He almost had his hand cut off today, and now his whole body was still in pain like it was falling apart. If he couldn't get money in exchange for it tomorrow, he would really be killed by those people!
"Miss Jiang, just think of it as payment in advance and give me money first!"
