Chapter 16 Surrender Your Life

The surname is Ji...

Li Xin looked up and looked at the Seventh Prince. He naturally knew that the surname of the Great Jin Dynasty was Ji. Since the Seventh Prince Ji was surnamed Ji, he was at least a royal family, and he might even be a prince.

But what Li Xin was thinking about now was not the identity of the seventh prince, but was thinking that this was the seventh prince, not the eighth prince...

Thinking of this, Li Xin coughed slightly, threw the unreasonable thoughts in his mind aside, looked up at the Seventh Young Master, and whispered: "Seventh Young Master...is the royal family?"

The seventh young master in white smiled and said nothing.

After thinking for a while, Li Xin took out the Jingzhao Mansion document from his sleeve, handed it over, and said, "Seventh Prince, my life, will be entrusted to the Seventh Prince."

This document is the only thing that Li Xin can threaten Jingzhao Mansion. Without this document, Jingzhao Mansion will kill Li Xin as he wants. He handed over this document, which is no different from handing over his own wealth and life.

The seventh young master smiled, reached out to take the document, then put it into his sleeve, reached out to pat Li Xin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I originally said that you were meticulous, but you have only known you and I for half an hour, and you have handed such an important thing in my hand. Are you not afraid that I will sell you with my backhand?"

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "If there is no external force, even if this thing is in my hands, it may not be able to reach His Majesty. Since the chance is slim, it is better to win the Seventh Master once."

In ancient times, the distance between the people and the officials was like a gap. For example, people like Li Xin would never even see the county magistrate once in their lifetime, and it was even more impossible to see the Kaifeng Prefecture Prime Minister Bao like the TV series, just like the ones played in the government office, and they could only beat the drums.

In fact, yamen like Jingzhao Mansion are a very large yamen. Even if ordinary people go to Jingzhao Mansion to sue officials, there will be special people responsible for handling it. It is basically unlikely that they can meet Lord Jingzhao Yin.

In other words, if you don’t have any way, Jingzhao Mansion is a ceiling that ordinary people can reach. People like Li Xin are not qualified to reach this ceiling, let alone reach higher-level figures.

Therefore, the "evidence" of Jingzhao Mansion was actually not very useful in his hands, because he had no chance to hand over this document to the hands of more advanced people. The seventh young master had extraordinary temperament and was able to start a big deal like Deyi Tower by the Qinhuai River, so he must have an amazing energy.

So, Li Xin chose to gamble.

The seventh young master looked at Li Xin again and smiled and said, "It's not only a plan but also a brave man. It's not simple. You are three or four points like Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan."

Li Xin lowered his head slightly and said nothing.

In fact, he was still a little scared. After all, even in his previous life, he was just a senior white-collar worker and had never been exposed to such a power circle. After coming to this world, Li Xin wanted to live a good life, but in just half a month, he had already contacted the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, Jingzhao Mansion, and the seventh young master in front of him.

The most sweet thing in this world is power, but power is also the most dangerous. As long as you are a little closer to him, you may lose your life inexplicably.

Until now, he has had to place his hope on the seventh young master he just met.

When the Seventh Master saw that Li Xin didn't say anything, he was not angry, but just smiled indifferently: "It's rare that you can respect me. Don't worry, even for your trust, I will do my best to do this for you."

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Mr.."

The seventh young master was about to walk out of this small courtyard with his hands on his back. As soon as he moved his steps, Li Xin suddenly called him.

"Seventh Young Master, stay..."

The seventh young master turned around in shock.

Li Xin reached out and pointed to the skewers left by the skewers that were eaten beside him, coughed, and then said, "Seventh Master, these skewers are planned to be sold tomorrow. The livelihood of the two families depends entirely on this skewers. Now that you have eaten them all... should you express it appropriately?"

The seventh young master turned around and looked at Li Xin like he was looking at a crazy person.

I am here to save him, but this guy asks him for money?

However, due to his face, the Seventh Master still picked off a string of jade hanging around his waist. As the meal for this "mutton skewers", although this jade pendant is not a top-notch product, since it can be kept in his hands, it is naturally not a bargain.

Li Xin put the jade pendant into his sleeve with a smile on his face.

The seventh young master shook his head and left the small yard helplessly.

After the Seventh Master left, Li Xin was silent. He looked down at the jade pendant in his hand that was extorted from the Seventh Master. According to the Seventh Master, this inconspicuous vermilion jade pendant could be exchanged for at least one hundred cents of coins.

Li Xin held the jade pendant in his hand and murmured to himself in a low voice.

"I hope you are really as valuable as he said..."

The reason why Li Xin was shameless and asked the Seventh Prince for money was not just for humor. In fact, he had already begun to run away now. The development trajectory of things has exceeded his expectations. He didn't know what the capital would look like in the next moment.

Therefore, he had the idea of ​​escaping from the capital. After all, with his ability, as long as he finds a place where there is someone, he will not starve to death. There is no need to stay in the capital with a stern face.

With this idea, we naturally have to prepare some money. This jade pendant extorted from the Qi Gongzi is the money that Li Xin ran away.

Thinking of this, Li Xin looked at the half-legged lamb left in the yard.

After his conversation with the Qi Gongzi, it was obvious that the business of selling mutton skewers could not be done. Maybe the person from Tianmujian was still asking for himself and going out to "do business" himself, which would be a trap.

He made it back next to the charcoal fire, cut pieces of meat on the leg of lamb with a knife, and skewed them on the bamboo stick.

Then he waved to the room.

"Girl, come out to eat mutton skewers."

The charcoal girl wearing a cotton coat ran out excitedly, sat obediently opposite Li Xin, looking at the mutton skewers in Li Xin's hand.

Although she took a string in just now, she only took a bite of that string and fed the rest to her grandfather.

After Li Xin skewed two skewers, he put them on the charcoal fire to burn them, and the aroma was overflowing soon.
