My mythical road to getting rich in ancient times

Chapter 8: Binding people to a tree
The moonlight shines on the bustling crowd, adding a golden glow to the bustling city.Various sounds came to my ears.There are noisy market sounds, cheerful slapstick sounds, and melodious shouts.The air is filled with various smells, including the aroma of fresh fruits and vegetables, hot snacks, and fragrant flowers.The sight in front of you is dizzying. The screams of vendors, the bargaining sounds of customers, and the laughter of children, vivid pictures come to mind.

"Sir, what would you like to order?" the roadside vendor greeted enthusiastically.

“Is there any fresh lobster?”

"Yes, yes. Sir, please come this way."

"Waiter, here are two plates of side dishes."

"Okay, wait a moment."

In the bustling downtown, people are coming and going, and there is still an endless stream of hawkers.

"Stop, stop for me!"

"You damn thief, stop here!"

"Don't run, you little bitch, stop for me!"

"Don't run away, rob, rob!"

"Stop him, don't let him run away!"

"..."

The crowd was swarming and flowing, people were shouting and pushing in panic, and no one would give way.

Another noise from the distance broke this already unsettling scene.

"What happened?" someone in the crowd asked.

Passerby A rolled his eyes at the speaker and said, "Isn't it obvious that he was robbed?"

"Oh, it was really a robbery. That man ran into the crowd. Hey, go and help, help!"

The crowd of people watching said they did not dare to intervene.

Although Lu Jingzhi is a young playboy, his good family tradition since he was a child prevents him from sitting idly by.So he decisively pursued Qinggong.

There were many twists and turns, and Lu Jingzhi had to be careful not to hit the people around him.After a while, he caught up with the little man in front.

Lu Jingzhi stopped in front of him and looked at him condescendingly, with a slightly evil look on his slightly raised lips.

"Give me the thing," he ordered.

"No." The bold thief didn't flinch.

after that……

"Stop it, stop it, here it is, here it is. Hiss~"

Lu Jingzhi beat the man and let him go, but he found that Jiang Xiao didn't chase him.

The surrounding area was much deserted compared to the busy city just now. He had just been here two days and had been wandering around for a while chasing people. He didn't know how to get back, so he could only walk aimlessly.

On the other side, the master and servant had just come from the downtown area. "Miss, what are we doing here?" Xia Yu is a little confused. Shouldn't we look more in the downtown area? There are so few people here that we can't see much.The downtown area has many people and shops, making it more suitable for observation.

Xia Wan stroked the fox in her arms, "It's a busy city. The market is almost saturated. If you try to get a piece of the pie, you won't be able to get much. It's better to open a new downtown and connect the two downtowns to promote common economic development."

"Besides, your lady, I want to open more than just a shop, so it is just right to choose this place. Although there are not many people now, it is close to the downtown area, so it is easy to divert traffic. The main task of coming out today is to watch the evening People will buy more products and make subsequent plans."

Xia Yu nodded with some understanding. She had never heard many of the words the young lady said, but she firmly believed that her young lady was right.

Suddenly a hand stretched out from between the two of them, and Xia Yu took the first step and directly swayed out the drug that had been hidden in her sleeve.

Lu Jingzhi covered his mouth and nose as quickly as possible, but he still inhaled a lot because he was too close, so he fell down in a daze.

When Lu Jingzhi saw them, he recognized that one of them was the woman he saw when he first came out. He thought that since the woman had been seen around the Lu Mansion and now walked here with her maid, she must know the route back. .

Lu Jingzhi specifically waited for the master and servant to finish speaking before he stepped forward to ask how to return to the Lu Mansion. Unexpectedly, the little maid was directly drugged and accidentally fell asleep.

At this time, the two masters and servants looked down and saw a man lying on the ground. He was wearing a moon-white brocade dress with a silver collar and a fine pattern. The collar and cuffs of the robe were embroidered with silver threads and piping with moiré patterns. He was tied around his waist. A wide-brimmed brocade belt with azure auspicious clouds, his black hair tied up, and a small silver crown inlaid with jade. The white jade on the silver crown is crystal clear and moist, which further highlights the blackness and smoothness of his hair, like silk satin.

The smooth and white face reveals the cold and angular features, the deep black eyes are full of charming color, the thick eyebrows, the high nose, and the beautiful shape of lips, all express nobility and elegance.

The man lying on the ground does not look like a thief at first glance. How can a thief be so good-looking and dressed so gorgeously? The clothes on his body are not something ordinary people can afford to wear. Even his eldest son is not that good. Materials for making clothes.

"Miss, what should I do?" Xia Yu was a little panicked, feeling that he had made a mistake, but he reached over without saying a word.

Xia Wan was also a little embarrassed, but the two women couldn't take him back home.

Finally, Xia Wan glanced at her and said, "Put him on that tree. After a cup of tea, when he wakes up, he will leave."

Xia Wan put the fox in her arms on the ground, and then she and Xia Yu helped Lu Jingzhi, who was lying on the ground, to the tree next to the river.

The two of them pushed Lu Jingzhi up with great effort. In the end, fearing that Lu Jingzhi would fall down, Xia Yu went to find something similar to a vine nearby and tied Lu Jingzhi to a tree branch.

Xia Wan was still wondering whether it was better to tie the person to the tree like this.

When Xia Yu saw her young lady's tangled expression, she thought that her young lady was wondering whether she was tied tightly, so she explained, "Miss, don't worry, this slave is tied very tightly, he won't fall off."

Xia Wan: "......"

What can Xia Wan say?

This maid is so thoughtful and considerate.

Lest someone turn over and fall into the water, or fall on the ground and bruise his handsome face.

It was just that he was knocked unconscious and tied to a tree branch, which made him feel a little embarrassed, so he stuffed the only 20 taels of silver he had into Lu Jingzhi's arms.

This kind of mentality passed through Xia Wan's mind for a while. After all, she couldn't bring someone back to the house. What would it be like for a girl to bring a strange man back?Besides, the two of them had climbed over the wall secretly, so they couldn't bring a "burden" with them to climb over the wall, so they had no choice but to put them in a tree.As for why he didn't put it next to the tree, he was afraid that someone would pass by and see him later and do something bad to him while he was unconscious.

"Then let's go back home, miss."

"Let's go." Xia Wan turned back and glanced at Lu Jingzhi on the tree, then picked up the red fox that had just been placed on the ground and left.
