Hearing the sound of horse hooves outside, the boys who had been waiting in the Kitchen King Temple for a long time clenched their fists secretly. Even the stout boy sitting on the chair narrowed his eyes and was on guard.

At the door, several teenagers of different heights walked in, each of whom had two swords hanging around his waist.

The young man with a squinted eyes tighter. Isn’t the one who walked in the end the world the once arrogant hero of the North City boss Wei Wu? What is the origin of those guys in front of him? It seems that the oldest among the people is only fourteen or five years old, and they are wearing fine cloth clothes. I really can’t tell what their identity is, so how can Wei Wu obey the orders.

The two people came in. Cao Song stepped forward, raised his head and whispered loudly, "Are you Zheng Laohu from Nancheng?"

The stout boy sat on the chair without getting up and said coldly: "It's just that, how can I ask what this little brother is called?"

Cao Song curled his lips: "My elder brother is interested in you. When you become my elder brother's Changsui, you will naturally know the name of the second master?"

The brothers of the Tiger Gang saw that the person coming was just a few little kids, and they were not as worried as before. When they saw the fat little guy talking, they all looked angry.

Cao Yong rolled his eyes in his heart. The child was really not careful about what he meant to "look at him". This was like he was really a villain who "blamed men and dominated women".

Zheng Laohu was so angry that he laughed, clapped his chair and stood up. Cao Song couldn't help but take two steps back. Zheng Laohu was eight feet tall (one foot in the Qing Dynasty was equivalent to 0.23 meters before, eight feet was 1.84 meters), which was two feet taller than Cao Yong.

"It's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk. There is no wind in March. Be careful to slap your tongue!" Zheng Laohu said, approaching Cao Song step by step.

Seeing that Zheng Laohu was tall and steady, Cao Yong was afraid that Cao Song would suffer a loss, so he picked up the sword on his waist and waved his hand to chop Zheng Laohu. Zheng Laohu didn't expect that before he could speak properly, the other party took action, so he had to wave his sword to meet him. As soon as the two started fighting, Cao Song and the others and the Tiger Gang were not idle, they glued together and started to fight.

Cao Song and Wei Xin both like to take action, so they naturally rushed towards the boys opposite without hesitation. Gu Na only looked at the field and waited until someone attacked him before counterattacking him.

There was only one person on the field who had not taken action, and that was Zheng Laohu's younger brother, who was watching Cao Yong fight with Zheng Laohu with worry.

Before Zheng Laohu could swing his sword, the other party's sword had already chopped on his right arm. The moment the sword body touched his arm, he was filled with fear. Could it be that he would become a one-armed tiger in the future? How could he bring his brothers? Without too much time to think about it, a burst of pain made him almost cry, but it was not the pain of the sword entering the flesh. Cao Yong's sword was not broken.

For a quarter of an hour, few brothers from the Tiger Gang were standing. Cao Song and Wei Xin also had a lot of lottery on their bodies. Only Gu Na defeated a few people, no one went to provoke them again. Standing next to him, there was a calm wind. Cao Yong and Zheng Laohu both stopped. Cao Yong looked down at his body. The front of the wall was damaged, and there were more than a dozen chopping marks on the other side. Although Zheng Laohu was a city man, his sword technique had his own tricks and did make a move. It was good to put his hand in the Cao family's yard.

Zheng Laohu half-kneeled on the ground, unable to lift his arms. Although the unblacked sword cut on his body without blood, it hurt. Zheng Laohu was so painful that he was sweating in his cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and looked at Cao Yong and shouted: "If you want to kill, you want to kill. If you want to be a slave, I will talk about it in the next life!"

Cao Yong didn't say anything and nodded at Cao Song. Cao Song took out a purse from his arms, which was covered with scattered silver. He walked to the Tiger Gang members and said while saying, "The Tiger Gang is breaking up today. Each brother has two taels of silver. It doesn't matter how much, but it doesn't matter how little it is! The honest brothers go home and are filial to their parents. If they really have no food, they will go to Xu Laoliu of Dongcheng! If they are brave and powerful, they dare to set up a place in Nancheng. Haha, then look for a chance to see you again!"

Listening to this old-fashioned Jianghu dialect, Cao Yong only found it funny. Wei Xin, who looked at all this coldly, snorted in his heart. This is the bullshit boy in the Cao family. What is the difference between him and himself? He only pretends to behave in front of others. He is a well-behaved and sensible young man in the mansion, and he is even more gangsters than gangsters. This will be the case for heroes and the Tiger Gang. In name, it is disbanded, but in fact it is not incorporated into Xu Laoliu. Xu Laoliu is a gangster who beat Cao Song at the beginning, but later he was beaten by Cao Yong and recognized Cao Song as the boss.

Most of the brothers in the Tiger Gang are from poor families. They usually carry a few copper coins and are like New Year's Eve. But they didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful thing as dividing money, so they all took it in a daze.

After Cao Song finished the money, he clapped his hands and said, "It's gone!"

The people from the Tiger Gang realized what was going on. They were so slippery that they had already rushed out. There were a few who had a good relationship with Zheng Laohu. Looking at Zheng Laohu, they didn't know what to do.

Although Cao Song was not old, he was very proud of his face. Seeing that a few people were disobedient, Wei Xin looked at him and felt that he couldn't help but pull out a sword and said angrily: "I really think the second master has a good temper? Why don't you get out of here! Why do you want to try your sword!"

The teenagers were beaten up and were already scared. After hearing Cao Song's words, they did not dare to stay there. They rolled out of the temple gate.

Apart from Cao Yong and the others, only Zheng Laohu and his younger brother were left in the temple. His younger brother saw that Cao Yong was the leader of everyone, and walked forward with red eyes, and knelt down with a "splash": "Uncle, please spare my brother, Zheng Jiang is willing to be a servant for his brother!"

Cao Yong did not look at Zheng Jiang, but turned around to sit down on the chair in front of the altar, murmured: "Zheng Jiang, shouldn't he be called Zheng Woxue?"

One sentence made the Zheng brothers change their faces. Zheng Jiang could no longer speak. Zheng Laohu looked angry and stared at Cao Yong fiercely: "Who are you? Did that old thief send you here?"

Cao Yong did not reply to Zheng Laohu's words, but said slowly: "Yang Mingchang, the head of the Bihelou in Jiangning, is known as 'Yang Baiwan'. His original name is Yang Gouer, from Jinsha Town, Nantong Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. Both his parents died and were adopted by his distant relative Zheng's family. At the age of nineteen, he married into the Zheng family as his son-in-law. The Zheng family made a living by picking pearls and had a wealth of wealth. Yang Gouer took this as his foundation and changed his name to Yang Mingchang 16 years ago and opened a Bihelou in Jiangning. Fourteen years ago, he married the Bai family's eldest daughter in the century-old jewelry store in Jiangning as his wife. Then, Bihelou became the largest pearl jewelry building on the banks of the Qinhuai River."

Zheng Laohu had red eyes, bit his lips tightly, and stopped responding. Cao Yong paused for a moment and continued, "In May of the 40th year of Kangxi, the seriously ill Zheng took his son Zheng Hai and daughter Zheng Woxue to Jiangning to recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown. He was rejected by Yang Mingchang, and was later humiliated by his wife Bai. That night, Zheng died of illness and his children were in Jiangning."

It was the first time Cao Song and Wei Xin heard this. When they heard that "Yang Baiwan" from Jiangning was such a despicable and shameless ungrateful person, they were so angry that they cursed. Zheng Laohu roared angrily: "Bastard, stop talking!" Zheng Woxue, who was dressed in a man next to him, could no longer help but cry "sheep".

"What? Isn't your son heard of his father's fault? If you are so filial, you will be afraid that you will be happy. In two days, you will be able to recognize your ancestors and become the eldest son of the Yang family." Cao Yong said lukewarmly.

Zheng Laohu, also known as Zheng Hai, clenched his fist and shook his head violently: "My surname is Zheng! I have my own ancestors! I know the bullshit surname Yang!"

Cao Yong looked at Zheng Hai coldly and shook his head: "You can't help it. In the past two years, the pearls of the East China Sea have gradually decreased, and the pearls of the East China Sea have begun to pour into the south of the Yangtze River. Yang Mingchang wants to send his children as a gift and take the Japanese line! If you don't go, can you still have to go to the grandson of the Bai family?"

Seeing Zheng Hai stunned, Cao Yong said again: "Even Yang Mingchang has arranged the placement of Ling Mei, and he will give it to the newly appointed Jiangning General Wan Jiha as the fifth concubine!"

Zheng Hai gradually calmed down and looked at Cao Yong and said, "Who are you, are you from the Yang family? Are you going to catch us brother and sister back?"

"What a big deal about the Yang family? It's just a rich man who can pretend to be rich in front of outsiders. When we see our Cao family, we have to be like a grandson!" Before Cao Yong could speak, Cao Song said proudly: "My elder brother is the chief of the Weaver Mansion. He has the title of the First Class Light Vehicle Commander, which is several rank higher than Jiangning Mansion. If you become his long-time follower, you will be a piece of cake to protect your brothers and sisters!"

Among Cao Yong and his fours, Zheng Hai only knew Wei Xin and looked over with confusion. He nodded to confirm Cao Yong's identity.

In Jiangning, who doesn’t know that the Cao family of the Weaving Mansion was the last year when Emperor Long Sui visited the south, and he settled in the Cao family. Now he is busy in the city and outside the city, but for Emperor Long Sui to arrive in Jiangning, the Cao family is still welcomed without any surprise. No wonder the dignified young master of the Wei family willingly became a servant of others. What else can he have to do with Zheng Hai? Thinking of this, Zheng Hai closed his eyes and bowed: "As long as the young master promises to protect my sister, Zheng Hai is willing to serve as the master!"

Cao Yong nodded and glanced at Gu Na. Gu Na took out two of his body contracts written in his arms, took out a small box and took out a quill pen. Zheng Hai signed the contract in dejectedly. He originally wanted to stop his sister, but sighed but did not speak again.

The brother and sister were frowning, but no one read what the body contract was written. After signing, they lowered their heads and said nothing.

"Why, don't you take a good look at the contract, aren't you afraid that the young master will be so unwilling to accept you as a coat slave?" Cao Yong asked with a funny look.

Both brother and sister were literate, so they picked up the body contract and looked carefully. As they looked, they opened their eyes wide, and their eyes were full of incredible.

"This, is this true?" Zheng Hai asked stutteredly: "Selling oneself for ten years, worth 2,000 taels of silver, 200 taels of silver per year!"

Gu Na took back the contract from the brother and sister, took four silver notes and put them in Zheng Hai's hands, each of which was 100 taels.

Zheng Hai had no doubts, so he heard Cao Yong say lightly: "That two thousand taels of silver is just an open value. If you do your duty well, ten years later, whether you want to take Yang Mingchang's life or seize his property, I will help you! If you break this promise, you will be struck by lightning!"

After hearing this, Zheng Hai was covered in tears and fell down again, saying in a deep voice: "Dare not to serve the young master!"

Cao Yong helped Zheng Hai up: "Get up, take your sister to Linxiazhai and find Cao Fang to settle it. There will be arrangements for you in two days!"

"Yes, young master!" Zheng Hai responded silly, kowtowed Cao Yong again, and limped away with his sister.

"Master, Master!" After Zheng Hai and his sister left, Wei Xin stepped forward and said nervously: "I want to ask something!"

Cao Yong smiled and said, "I'll call you a young master in the future. You're not a slave. Just forget it if you're a few days of enjoyment."

"Yes, young master, I want to ask, how is my subordinate's body contract written on it!" Wei Xin grabbed his head and said embarrassedly: "I also signed it in anger, so I didn't pay attention to what was written on it."

Cao Yong replied casually: "Like Zheng Hai!"

After hearing this, Wei Xin almost fainted, two hundred taels a year! You know, his elder brother's sixth-rank official is only 60 taels a year. Two hundred taels a year, two hundred taels a month, more than sixteen taels a month, eight times his monthly silver. With such a master, he would be willing to do it for ten years, even if he had been a whole life.

Cao Song was heartless and didn't think so much about his brother asking Wei Xin to sign a contract with Zheng Hai. He was not his brother's servant, but he also knew to keep it confidential. If the family knew about it, he should think that the two brothers were bullying others with their power. Gu Na knew his cousin. Although he had practiced martial arts hard in the past few years, he was an absolute lazy person and was most bored with the brain. After knowing each other for several years, he just came up with an idea and made a Linxiazhai.

Wei Xin was fine. For Wei Ren's sake, he jokingly accepted as a servant. What is the purpose of the Zheng brothers and sisters? Since reading the news about Yang Mingchang sent back by Lin Xiazhai, Cao Yong has been planning for the past two days, so he has successfully accepted the Zheng brothers and sisters today. All of this happened in Gu Na's eyes, and Gu Na's heart was full of doubts.
