Merchant Li resigned himself to his fate and left with A Yu, Zhao Tianmao went back to the house, and ordered the man in black clothes standing quietly in the corner: "Follow, if the situation is not true, you know what to do."

The man in Xuanyi nodded expressionlessly.

Merchant Li changed into the clothes given by A Yu, and sneaked into the mansion through the back door.

The courtyard was quiet and peaceful, and the servants looked as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Merchant Li felt a little uneasy in his heart. The servants who passed by the yard buried their heads deeply, for fear that someone would recognize him.

Fortunately, they arrived safely at Zhao Pinqian's back room, there was no one around, the young man lying on the bed was pale, his chest didn't heave at all, he seemed lifeless.

Merchant Li was horrified, and said in surprise, "Won't anyone find out if you just put people here like this?"

A Yu made a silent gesture, signaling him to keep his voice down.

"Master usually has the habit of taking a nap, and no one will disturb him, so don't be afraid of being found out."

Merchant Li heaved a sigh of relief, approached the bed, stretched out a finger, and probed for Zhao Pinqian's breath.

A Yu met the eyes of the people outside by the window, and turned around: "Now that Zhao Pinqian is dead, I wonder if the third son promised to hand over the property under his name to you."

Merchant Li's outstretched hand was slightly stagnant, and he suddenly looked at him: "What do you mean, did the third son tell you something?"

He agreed to conspire with Zhao Tianmao, not for petty profits.

At the beginning, Zhao Tianmao did reveal that when Zhao Pinqian was removed, Minhe Pawnshop would be handed over to him to manage.

Seeing this, Ayu frowned, as if he was annoyed at the leak.

Merchant Li hurried forward, not giving him a chance to perfunctory: "Ayu, we are all working for the third son, and we are also considered colleagues. Tell me, did the third son say anything?"

He took all the risks and humbly, just for the sake of earning more money.

Zhao Tianmao had better not think about killing the donkey.

otherwise--

The light in his eyes condensed, like sharp knives.

"Boss Li, why don't you tell me how you got online with the third young master." A Yu raised his head slowly and asked.

Merchant Li was stunned, looking at A Yu with complicated eyes.

"I didn't expect that you kid usually pretends to be harmless to humans and animals, but you are actually restless." He sneered.

I want to find out how he hooked up with the third son, what does this kid want to do?

Ayu smiled, with a seldom flattering expression on his face: "The little one has been with the eldest son for so long, but he hasn't gotten the favor of the third son, and as soon as Boss Li appeared, he became the third son's right-hand man."

His tone was full of envy: "I have been working hard for so long, but I can only be assigned to the eldest son. It can be seen that Boss Li is a capable person. Isn't this asking Boss Li for advice?"

I have to say that this compliment speaks to Merchant Li's heart.

In the past few days, I was lying low in front of Zhao Tianmao, and I was so cold-eyed, I felt really uncomfortable, suddenly hearing someone praise me so much, I couldn't help but feel a little bit drifting.

Anyway, Zhao Pinqian is dead, and it is just around the corner to get it to Minhe Pawnshop.

He shook his sleeves and waved his posture: "Actually, it wasn't the third young master I picked up, it was the third young master who found me."

A Yu opened his eyes wide: "Really?"

"Naturally." Merchant Li smiled triumphantly, and told him after simplifying the situation that day.

A Yu pricked up his ears and sneered in his heart.

In his opinion, Merchant Li's self-satisfaction is just another self being played.

He talked a lot intermittently, from Zhao Tianyu having someone find him half a month ago, to cooperating with him, preparing to bring down Zhao Pinqian and annex Minhe Pawnshop.

After talking for a long time, he felt a little thirsty, so he went to the table by the window and poured himself a glass of water.

A light-colored belt suddenly came into view, and he stretched his neck out.

There was a careless smile on the girl's snow-white face, and she didn't show any panic after being discovered, but instead raised her hand and beckoned at him.

Behind her is Xiao Yunheng, and behind her is a tall man with a familiar face.

Merchant Li was so startled that the teacup rolled down, the hot water spilled all over his body, and he yelled loudly.

"Outside, there are people outside!" He patted the hot water on his body in a panic, and ran to Ayu's side, still in shock.

A Yu remained calm and looked at him coldly.

"It's you!"

He suddenly realized, pointed at Ayu, his eyes widened: "How dare you betray the third son!"

Lu Xiyue and Xiao Yunheng led a few tall men and pushed the door in. Businessman Li looked at the leading girl with a distorted expression.

At this moment, he still doesn't understand, this is a game, and he is designed to be a turtle in the urn.

What about Zhao Pinqian, is he dead?

Being held by the shoulders, he still went to see the person on the bed.

The originally lifeless man sat up at this moment, and wiped off the white powder on his face with a handkerchief.

"This makeup is really hard to wipe off." Zhao Pinqian frowned in disgust.

"Lu-xi-yue!"

He bared his teeth, and shot his ferocious eyes like a ghost, wishing he could break free from the bondage and tear the girl's smiling eyebrows apart.

Everything he calculated carefully was ruined by this bitch.

At this moment, Merchant Li was extremely regretful. He knew that she would spoil his good deeds. He should have poisoned her with the poison arrow tree instead of Li Dahui.

Lu Xiyue folded her arms around her chest, seeing his anger in her eyes, without any sympathy: "Merchant Li, if you harm others, you will end up harming yourself. Why do you do this?"

Harm others and end up harming oneself?

Merchant Li heard another meaning from her mouth.

She was referring to the incident with Li Dahui last time.

"Lu Xiyue, don't be complacent, I have harmed someone, you have no proof." Just based on what he just said, it's ridiculous.

Zhao Tianmao would never allow himself to be caught in the turmoil. After all, he knew a lot of things. Even if he was sent to prison, he would definitely find a way to get himself out.

Seeing that he didn't cry when he didn't see the coffin, Lu Xiyue pursed her lips: "It doesn't matter, if Master Xu hears it, it will be done."

Master Xu, which Master Xu?

Merchant Li followed her gaze and saw a tall young man in ordinary clothes, holding a machete, and was asking Ah Yu something.

Seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Merchant Li's heart sank.

This person is the captain of the yamen under the county magistrate, Xu Er, because he knew the warehouse steward, he had spoken a few words with him.

Turns out she was already prepared.

Merchant Li laughed at himself: "Miss Lu is such a good means, even I have to admire it."

At the beginning, she used this trick to expose Wu Zuo and Jiang Shi, unexpectedly, but now she used this trick on herself again.

He was pressed to the door, unwilling to say: "It's a pity you don't know who you are dealing with, Lu Xiyue, you—"

Before he finished speaking, an arrow from the sky pierced his throat.

In an instant, blood gushed out and splashed the yamen servant's face.

Merchant Li opened his mouth, but couldn't make any sound. He put his hands on his neck, trying to block the bleeding, and finally fell straight down.
