Hua Bushi added: "Although the 'Gejiabao' is a local tyrant, it is not a big force. I don't think it will openly enmity with the 'Evil Dog Sect' for your sisters. Last time, Qianli took action and drove it away.
, they must not dare to come to the house again to cause trouble, so how could they send someone to spy on her. Although Miss Qiaoyun’s plan is good, it’s a pity that she doesn’t understand the affairs of the world, so Xiao Ke saw through it.”
Sun Qiaoyun bit her lip and said, "Yes, I want to live back in the Sun family's old house! It's my sister's ancestral home, so what's wrong with living there?"
Since he was exposed by this young master, Sun Qiaoyun simply told him clearly.
Hua Bushi said: "It's not difficult to let your sisters live back in the house at the foot of the mountain, but Miss Qiaoyun has to tell me why you have to move into the 'Evil Dog Gate' subdivision. You are not allowed to lie this time, and you must be honest."
talk."
At this time, Sun Qiaoyun's face turned even redder, and even the back of his ears was crimson, but he lowered his head and bit his lips tightly without saying a word.
Hua Bushi waited for a long time, and when he saw that Sun Qiaoyun still didn't speak, he suddenly smiled and said: "Since the girl refuses to tell the reason and wants to live in the house at the foot of the mountain, there is only one way left."
Sun Qiaoyun raised his head and asked, "What can we do?"
Hua Bushi said: "My 'Evil Dog Gate' branch lacks maidservants. If Miss Qiaoyun signs a contract and sells herself as a maidservant, she can naturally live in the gate."
The Sun family was originally a wealthy family, and Sun Qiaoyun was once a wealthy lady. How could he be willing to sell himself into slavery? But at this time, Hua Bushi was smiling, looking at Sun Qiaoyun as if he was an experienced hunter, guarding
Wait for the prey to come to you in front of the trap.
He put his hands behind his back, walked squarely, and said leisurely: "I have an apprentice who was unfortunately seriously injured a few months ago and lost an arm. He is currently in need of someone to take care of him. If Miss Qiaoyun sells herself to me, I will let you
I went to serve him and take care of his food, clothing, and daily life, but I don’t know what Miss Qiaoyun wants?”
Sun Qiaoyun's pretty face was as red as a ripe apple. She walked up to Hua Bushi and bowed Yingying: "Thank you, Master. Qiaoyun is willing to sell herself as a slave to the 'Evil Dog Gate'."
Hua Bushi laughed and said: "Since you agreed, you are not allowed to go back on it. If there is some writing and paper here, you and I will sign the contract immediately."
At that moment, Sun Qiaoyun took the pen and ink, laid the paper and inkstone on the table, and stood aside to grind the ink for Hua Bushi. With a stroke of his pen, Master Hua quickly wrote a contract of betrayal.
This contract stated that Sun Qiaoyun voluntarily sold herself to Hua Bushi, and she would be a slave for the rest of her life, and she would be at his disposal. Hua Bushi could also give her to others as wives and concubines at will, and Sun Qiaoyun must obey and not resist and sell herself.
The amount of silver received was only one tael!
From ancient times to the present, there is no contract more sinister than this one!
Only a black-hearted young man like Hua Bushi could write such a heartless contract.
But Sun Qiaoyun did not hesitate to sign and stamp the deed of sale, put her fingerprints on it, and then happily took the one or two pieces of silver that Hua Bushi handed her, as if she had taken a huge advantage.
Hua Bushi folded the contract, put it in his pocket, and said: "Now that the contract has been signed, Xiao Ke will leave first. I will ask all the disciples to come and help with the move. Miss Qiaoyun and your sister only need to pack up."
Just wait here for your belongings."
Sun Qiaoyun's face was still filled with joy, and he knelt down and said, "Qiaoyun obeys your order, and I send you off to Mr. Hua."
Hua Bushi also had a smile on his face and looked very satisfied. He led Bai Yiling out of the grass reed, climbed on the horse, picked up the reins and beat the horse, and left Juechen.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※Changsha Prefecture is an important town in Hunan and the most prosperous city in Huguang Province in the Ming Dynasty.
In prosperous places, there are many buildings, and buildings with blue bricks and blue tiles are everywhere. They are the facades of major shops and the residences of some wealthy families.
But after leaving the city gate, there are far fewer such high-rise buildings. Especially outside the west gate, after walking for more than ten miles, the roadside is already covered with faint green mountains and green fields, with only a few scattered houses.
Heading west, you will arrive at the banks of the Xiangjiang River.
People like to build towers by the river, mostly for viewing purposes. Fortresses that really need to be strictly defended are more suitable to be built against the mountains. Because the river cannot completely block the enemy's attack, it may be used by the enemy, and once
When floods occur, buildings along the river are in danger of being submerged.
However, on the banks of the Xiangjiang River in the western suburbs of Changsha, there is a fortress built along the river. It stands majestically between the turbulent river and the vast wilderness. The pedestrians and horses on the official road in the west of the city can be seen from dozens of miles away.
The spire of the watchtower that pierces the sky and the bluestone exterior wall that is tens of feet high are very conspicuous, attracting the attention of everyone who comes and goes.
Rather than saying it is a manor, it is more appropriate to say it is a castle.
This castle is the "Gejiabao" of the Jianghu family that dominates the western suburbs of Changsha City.
"Gejiabao" is rich and powerful. Thousands of acres of fertile land around it belong to the Ge family. Even ships sailing on the Xiangjiang River have to pay "crossing the river silver" in order to pass through this section of the river. The minimum is fifty taels.
, up to dozens of taels, depending on the situation.
There are dozens of Jianghu gangs outside Changsha Fucheng. The strength of "Gejiabao" can only be considered average at best, but if compared to the sect's wealth, "Gejiabao" can definitely be ranked among the top five. Out.
From the west city gate to the bank of the Xiangjiang River, the entire area of dozens of miles is the territory of "Gejiabao". It is the only sect in such a large area. After decades of operation, it has accumulated countless gold and silver treasures.
More importantly, although other sects looked at it with jealousy, they could only watch helplessly and did not dare to touch "Gejiabao". Because everyone knew that the backstage of "Gejiabao" was the "Hengshan Sect"
", truly the "number one sect in Hunan", no one can afford to offend him in Changsha city.
Since there is money, the sect's base will of course be built high, large and majestic.
The "Gejia Fort" built along the river has a foundation made of huge stones that is ten feet high. No matter how big the flood is, it cannot be covered. There are hundreds of carriage houses and stables in front of the fort, and there are many horses and horses in them.
, there are dozens of luxurious caravans parked, and this level of luxury is not much different from the residences of the princes and generals of the current dynasty.
On the side of the castle facing the river, a row of docks has been built. Seven or eight light boats of different sizes are docked in the dock, all of which are beautifully decorated carved boats. They are all private boats of "Gejiabao". These are
The pier also belongs to the Ge family. Only the Ge family's boats can use it. Commercial ships and fishing boats that usually sail on the Xiangjiang River are not even allowed to get close.
The "Gejiabao" family has a big business, and everything is taller and grander than others. Even the two stone lions outside the main entrance are each about one foot tall, which is a head taller than the stone lions of other families.
It's sunny again today.
It was almost noon when six horses galloped down the road. They arrived at the gate of "Gejiabao" and reined in in front of the stone lions.
The Ge family has so many properties, and there are many people who come to the fort to do business every day. Some of them are also from Jianghu, and most of them come on horseback.
Therefore, when the several servants guarding the door saw these six cavalry, they did not feel anything strange.
Among the servants at the door was Ge Tong.
Ge Tong followed Butler Ge to the Sun family's old house last time. Ge Wanjin ordered him and Ge Ba to guard the Sun family gate all night. Later, the people from the "Evil Dog Gate" arrived and they were driven away.
Back. This was more than a month ago. Ge Tong's memory was not very good, and his ability to recognize people was even worse. When he saw the young man in white coming on horseback from a distance, he just felt that he looked familiar.
For a moment I couldn't remember where I had seen it.
The young man jumped off the horse first, and the other five people also dismounted one after another. In addition to the three men, there were also two little maids.
The young master stood in front of the door, looked on both sides, and suddenly said: "Why are these two stone lions so tall? They are really an eyesore."
A young man with a square face and big ears said: "Master thinks it is an eyesore, so Zhu Hong will put it down!"
He took two steps forward and came to a stone lion. He looked up and down and suddenly pushed it out with a palm!
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, dust flew up, and the stone lion was pushed down by his palm!
The two stone lions outside the gate of "Gejiabao" were more than a foot tall and each weighed at least several thousand kilograms. They were pushed down at once, causing the ground to sink seven or eight inches. The bricks on the floor were
A big piece was broken!
The servants of Ge Mansion in front of the door were all shocked!
When the stone lion fell to the ground just now, everyone could feel the whole ground trembling. They couldn't believe that this seemingly inconspicuous young man had such terrifying power!
The square-faced boy clapped his hands casually, as if the slap just now didn't take much effort. He was about to walk towards another stone lion when he heard someone speaking.
"Senior Brother Zhu, give me that end!"
The speaker was another young man in yellow with shaggy hair. His clothes were messy and slovenly. An unsheathed broad sword was stuck in his belt, and the light was swimming. Looking at his face, he looked equally young.
share.
He lazily walked forward, passing in front of another stone lion, without stopping, and went straight to the gate of "Gejiabao".
But there was only a "boom" sound, and the stone lion's neck suddenly broke, and the huge lion's head fell off and fell to the ground, creating a big crater!
Sweat began to form on the backs of every member of the Ge family! It was cold sweat!
The boy with the square face just pushed down the first stone lion with one palm. They were just shocked by the opponent's super strength, but now how the boy in yellow drew his sword and cut off the neck of the second stone lion. They
Didn't see it at all!
Cutting off the head of a stone lion with one sword requires a sharp sword and strong wrist strength. But before anyone saw him draw the sword, the stone lion's head had already fallen to the ground. How fast was this young man's move?
If he wanted to chop off other people's heads, it would be even easier. Who has a harder neck than a stone lion?
At least Ge Tong and the Ge family servants standing at the door definitely didn't.
