Chapter 546 Gossip in Yangzhou City(1/2)
Author: Jiang Xin Yiyu
The Mou couple heard a long drama about how the Yue family members competed for their industries in a strange way. They felt that this family was really fierce, arrogant and greedy. Compared with the things in the high-ranking families in the capital, That's not much. It seems that no matter where or where in this world, for the sake of profit, the faces are similar, as if they are different.
So I asked the tooth again,
"I heard that the Yue family likes to raise dwarfs?"
The tooth responded,
"That's right, the family didn't know what was wrong, they just liked the strange things. People looked so terrible. What's the fun? The Yue family also raised more than ten people and hired them to train them in the house. , If there are guests, they will call them out to perform masked flying knives, build people's towers, spitting fire, etc...."
Mou Biao narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
"Where did these dwarfs come from?"
Tooth blinked and smiled,
“A lot of them were bought from our teeth shop…”
He chuckled,
"If you like it, our Yashang can also help you find..."
This Zhichengya business is really full of business. There are rich people in Yangzhou who like dwarfs. They searched for children who were born defective in Daqing. The older ones were seven or eight years old and one or two years old, and brought them back to Yangzhou to send them to Yuefu. In the backyard, people start teaching since they are young.
Silian frowned when she heard this.
"Aren't you trafficking humans?"
The tooth smiled and said,
"Madam, I dare not say that these children who are born with defects are disliked by their families at home and cannot even eat good food. When they come to Yangzhou, they can eat meat and wear good clothes and live a life of learning. Even if we get old, we will have a deposit of money to settle down, which is hundreds of times better than at home. When the people in our business go to various places, many people beg our grandfather and grandma, and we will accept it. child……"
"Is that true?"
Mou Biao smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"I'm afraid their days are not as good as you said?"
The tooth grinned,
"Hehe, I understand. There is no vain in this world. They also have to learn skills in the mansion. If there are those who are lazy and do not obey orders, they will naturally teach you a small lesson..."
"I'm afraid it's not a lesson?"
"Hehe... this... I'll get beaten and scolded..."
"Then...has anyone killed someone?"
"this……"
The tooth's expression changed, and later realized that something was wrong. He looked up and down at Mou Biao and asked carefully for a while.
"Master, you are not the one in the government who specializes in investigating the affairs of the Yue family, are you?"
Mou Biao smiled and pinched the white porcelain wine glass with both hands to play with it.
"Do you look at me?"
The tooth looked up and down,
"This...look, you have the official spirit..."
Mou Biao narrowed his eyes, but he turned his wrist and threw another ingot of silver on the table, laughing,
"You don't care whether you are an official or not. You just want to hear about the Yue family. How much you say, how much you say, what you can say, what you hear, what you hear, what will happen afterwards has nothing to do with you. This money is yours. If it is otherwise……"
A cold light flashed in his eyes,
"If not...we will talk in another way?"
The tooth's face changed and he smiled embarrassedly,
"You are joking... Isn't it just listening to gossip and making fun? This little guy doesn't have to... change places!"
Mou Biao nodded,
"Then why don't you tell me!"
Yaman immediately put away the charming smile on her face and said seriously,
"Even if you spend money to support these people, you will naturally have to teach you a lesson. Sometimes you beat and scold, you will be heavy. This... there are dead people..."
Mou Biao snorted,
"No one ran away?"
Tooth nodded,
"Someone ran away, but one ran away in front of me..."
"Oh...is it? Then... has it been caught?"
Tooth shook his head,
"That boy was very clever. He set a fire in the kitchen first, and while everyone was putting out the fire, he ran out of the mansion while the chaos was putting people. Yue Mansion sent people to take people everywhere, and then asked for help from our boss. The boss…”
He hesitated for a moment and said,
"Our boss... our boss also has some friends. Later, I found out that the boy took a boat heading north and had already run away..."
"oh……"
Mou Biao dragged his voice long,
"What's that boy's name?"
Tooth responded,
"The things used for fun in the mansion don't have a serious name, but they just line up numbers. This guy is ranked above the seventeenth, and he is called seventeenth..."
"When did it happen?"
"It's about half a month ago!"
In this way, what the Yaman said is exactly the same as what Yue Shiqi said, but the more it sounds unquestionable, the more suspicious it is. Based on his keen intuition, As soon as the boy got on the boat, Mou Biao felt something was wrong. If he heard this tooth, the more he heard it, the more he heard it, the more he became, the more he was, the more he was!
Mou Biao glanced at Si Lian and found that his wife was also confused. The couple exchanged a tacit look, and did not ask about the Yue family anymore. They also asked Yaren to talk about the extravagant rich people around the city. Extremely, let's throw away the ridiculous things of a thousand gold...
After eating this meal for two hours, the tooth man was dry and said that he had a pot of wine. After ten years of peach blossom wine, he was very excited. After eating it, the tooth man became more and more unable to keep his mouth shut. Biao was very satisfied with the hearing, and then rewarded him with another ingot of silver before he sent the drunken man.
The couple turned around the inn, sat in the carriage, and asked Mou Biao,
"Xiao Lin thinks that Yue Shiqi's origin is strange?"
Mou Biao looked at his wife beside him with a smile, stretched his waist, hugged the person in his arms, and let Silian's soft buttocks rub against his solid thighs. He hummed with satisfaction before asking,
"Si Lian saw it?"
Silian nodded,
"According to the fact that what Yue Shiqi said matched what this man said, but for some reason, the more I heard it, the more I felt something was wrong..."
Mou Biao kissed her with a smile.
"Our Four Lotus is smart... I can see that Yue Shiqi is carrying kung fu. According to what this man said, these dwarfs are incomplete people collected from everywhere. Yue's house can at most teach them some fun. How can you teach kung fu? Do you think they don’t run fast enough? Why does Si Lian feel something is wrong?”
Silian thought for a while and said,
"I didn't see how good he was, but I just felt that the man was coming. It was too coincidental. According to the man, Yue Shiqi had escaped from Yue's mansion for half a month. Why didn't he get up early or late? It just happened to make us meet!"
He happened to take a boat to the north and met the water bandits. After diving, he happened to meet them again?
Si Lian couldn't tell why, but she felt strange for no reason!
Mou Biao smiled,
"This matter is easy to deal with. Please check whether there are any merchant ships heading north in Yangzhou, and whether there are any robbers..."
They stayed in Yangzhou Prefecture for another day, and first bought two houses. In order to prevent someone from finding out, the land deed wrote the name of Wang’s mother. On this day, Mou Biao asked Mou Hu to inquire in the city. I heard that the Yue Mansion offers a reward of 1,000 taels of silver to chase the escaped slaves. As long as the person is sent, no matter how much life or death, it will be 1,000 taels!
Mou Hu comes back to report,
"Master, that kid is worth one thousand taels. Why wouldn't he take him to ask for a reward?"
Mou Biao smiled,
"Believe it or not, you probably won't get this thousand taels of silver!"
Mouhu Daqi,
“Why?”
Mou Biao smiled but said nothing. After the land deed passed, they turned back on the boat. Mou Long and Mou Hu saw Yue Shiqi hiding on the boat and they didn't dare to get off the boat. However, they laughed strangely. Yue Shiqi didn't know. So, come over carefully and bow,
"Two brothers, why did you smile so strangely when you see Xiao? But...what is there?"
Mou Hu looked at him up and down with his chin.
"I want to see how many pounds of your body, even with the skin and flesh, how can it be worth 1,000 taels of silver!"
"One thousand taels of silver?"
Yue Shiqi was a little confused, but Mou Hu patted his shoulder and left with a giggle. After the boat left the dock, Yue Shiqi asked the reason from the guard who had taken off the boat with Mou Biao, but It was a scared layer of cold sweat on his back, and he hurried over to kowtow to Mou Biao.
