Qin Zhui stayed with Song Yang not only to facilitate communication between the two parties, but also to protect Song Yang's safety.
In several bustling streets in Qingyang City, there are registration offices for the "Selection of Talents" set up by officials everywhere. However, there are many registration offices, and more people come to participate in the election. There are long queues in front of each place. The three of Song Yang are also there
queue.
To 'register', you have to log in many items such as your hometown, place of origin, specialties, etc. It takes some time to pass each person. Song Yang is not in a hurry, chatting casually with Qin Zhui while lining up with peace of mind.
Behind them was a girl in ragged clothes and unkempt hair, who looked no less than a beggar. Seeing that the team was moving slowly, an anxious look gradually appeared on the girl's face. After waiting for a while, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and patted Song Yang carefully.
Shoulder: "This big brother..."
Just after saying four words, Qin Zhui turned around. The girl was startled by the ugly man's ferocious face. Her eyes were full of fear and she did not dare to say the following words.
Song Yang asked: "What's wrong?"
The sloppy girl lowered her eyes and didn't dare to raise her eyes, for fear of seeing Qin Zhui's grimace again, so she whispered: "Can we discuss it, let me be in front of the third person in line." Although it was not a big deal, she knew it.
This is a merciless invitation. The more you say it, the lower your voice becomes...
Before Song Yang could speak, Liu Ersha replied decisively: "No."
The girl still didn't dare to raise her eyes, bit her lip, and mustered up the courage to continue begging: "Big brothers, please do well, I'm very anxious." As she spoke, she bowed and saluted with an urgent expression.
Still not waiting for Song Yang to speak, Liu Ersha rushed to speak again: "Oh, okay."
The girl thanked her fluently and got in front of the three people in line, but she didn't stop there. Instead, she continued to beg the people in front of her to let her jump in line... She was a girl, and being moved in front of her didn't mean she suffered a big loss.
, most of the people in front readily agreed, and soon she reached the front of the line.
But just when she was about to get in line, a strong man in his forties ran up the street. He rushed into the queue and slapped the girl twice in the face until her mouth and nose began to bleed. He then grabbed her hair and pulled her outward.
He cursed angrily: "You little bastard, come back with me!" The girl had no room for struggle and was dragged out of the team.
The officer responsible for maintaining order frowned and scolded: "Where did you come from?"
The strong man showed no sign of weakness and widened his eyes: "She is my daughter. It is natural for me to beat my daughter, and it is beyond my control!"
The officer was transferred from the temporary district to help and was not familiar with the things on the street. He turned to look at the chief next to him. The chief nodded to him and then cursed at the strong man: "Sun
You fool, if you want to beat your daughter, go home and don't act wild on the street." Sun fool didn't answer, he cursed and dragged the girl away, but just after taking two steps, he bumped into someone, and sun fool said.
He cursed, but when he looked up at the other person's face, he swallowed all the bad words he said.
Qin Zhui blocked the road.
Unlike the generals and bodyguards of other nobles, King Zhenxi’s ‘first commandment’ to the Hongbo Guards was: What should I do?
'I' refers to the prince himself. The precept literally means 'what would I, the prince, do', and its real meaning is: regardless of whether the prince is present or not, when you face something alone, think about me.
What would the king do?
Whatever I do, you Hongbowei will do.
When King Zhenxi was here, he would stop Sun Lengzi to ask clearly; when Princess Xuanji was here, she wouldn't let Sun Lengzi drag the poor girl away, so Qin Zhui stepped out of the queue and stopped the person.
At the same time, Song Yang also rushed forward, stretched out his hand and flicked Sun Lengzi's hand that was holding the girl's hair. Sun Lengzi felt a sharp pain in his hand, as if it was burning with fire. He cried out in pain and let go. Song Yang took advantage of the situation and helped the girl.
He stood up, gave her a relaxed smile, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid."
The girl cried bitterly and hid behind Song Yang. Qin Zhui was a man who crawled out from the pile of dead people. His murderous aura burst out when he showed off his power. Sun Lengzi was completely attracted by him and did not dare to curse. He just shouted with a fierce expression: "
Aren't you afraid of the king's law?"
Qin Zhui ignored his noise and turned to look at Li Chang: "Tell me what's going on."
The head of the village was not even a minor official. He only knew the ground and acted as a contact between the government and nearby residents. The ferocious man asked questions in a stern tone. He immediately explained... The girl's name is Xiao Qi. To be honest, although they have different surnames,
Sun Lengzi is really the girl's 'father'.
Xiao Qi's biological father died of illness before she was an infant, and her mother took her to remarry Sun Lengzi. But after getting married, she found out that Sun Lengzi was actually a scoundrel who beat and scolded their mother and daughter. Last year, the girl's mother died, and Sun Lengzi
Started looking for Xiao Qi's in-laws, hoping to earn a betrothal gift.
Xiao Qi was not worried about getting married, but no one wanted to be in-laws with Sun Lengzi, and they still couldn't come to an agreement. Sun Lengzi became impatient and simply bought his daughter into Goulan. The deposit has been collected and the order will be handed over today. By
Song Yang also probably understood that Xiao Qi was in such a mess because he was locked up by Sun Lengzi and was not allowed to wash or change clothes, and then he found an opportunity to sneak out.
After finishing the matter, Sun Lengzi said confidently: "The little bastard is sixteen years old this year. I have raised her for sixteen years. She has been fed, clothed and used for free. I have raised her until she grows up, so it is only natural to sell her."
The girl cried: "Since I was a child, I have relied on my mother to make all the household expenses. How have you ever taken a big sum of money from home..." Sun Lengzi was furious and wanted to rush over and beat someone, but Qin Zhui said something sinister.
: "Try touching her with a finger."
Sun Lengzi immediately stopped and reluctantly stopped.
Parents make the decision when it comes to selling their children. Nan Lili doesn't care about this. Even if he takes the case to the state government, at most he only warns Sun Lengzi not to sell his daughter into a brothel. But what happens next? Sun Lengzi
He continued to scold him when he got home...Song Yang walked up to Sun Lengzi and asked directly without saying anything: "How much did it cost?"
Sun Lengzi curled his lips: "You're asking too late. I've already negotiated with Yicuilou and even collected the deposit..."
Before he could finish speaking, Song Yang interrupted with a wave of his hand and said the same three words: "How much?"
Sun Lengzi laughed out loud, stopped being pretentious, and held out a finger: "One hundred taels of silver, cash transaction, you take the money and she will go with you."
Liu Ersha was usually obsessed with money and refused to give away the sheep he had promised Song Yang, but at this time he felt a sense of righteousness and came over with his treasure box in his arms and opened it.
Sun Lengzi immediately straightened his eyes, and the smile on his face became brighter. Song Yang did not expect that Er Shao suddenly became generous, and smiled at him: "Do you want to buy it, or lend me money?"
Er Sha thought about it and didn't think there was any benefit in buying a girl, so he said to Song Yang, "Let me lend you money."
Song Yang nodded with a smile, took out two gold ingots from the box, a total of ten taels of gold, and handed it to Sun Lengzi: "Liangqing, I will take them away."
Sun Lengzi nodded with joy and stretched out his hand to take the money, but he never expected that before he touched the gold, Song Yang suddenly shook his head and hit him hard in the face with a headbutt! No rogue could bear the head of a top-grade warrior.
Sun Lengzi's face was covered with blood. He didn't even have time to scream before he fell straight down and fainted.
Song Yang coolly threw the gold back into Ersi's box, turned around and smiled at the girl: "It's okay, he passed away drunk, go and sign up quickly."
The police officers present also laughed and waved to the chief: "This man ate wine early in the morning and passed out drunk here. Find someone to drag him away. Hurry, hurry."
In order to facilitate management, the candidates who come to Qingyang City this time are not allowed to stay on their own. The city will make unified arrangements and live in temporary inns. As long as Xiao Qi signs up, he will be protected by the officials, and even his biological father is not allowed to come.
Harassment, at least before the performance, there will be no more problems. As for the future, Song Yang wants to ask for a favor from Ren Xiaoqiao, take her to Phoenix City, and arrange a maid servant to do whatever she wants. For Princess Xuanji, this matter
, it’s just a matter of one sentence.
There are countless pitiful people and injustices in the world, and Song Yang can't handle them. However, if he encounters them in front of him, he will lend a helping hand when he can.
In order to live in the inn and protect Song Yang personally, Qin Zhui also randomly reported his name, and then everyone was taken to the inn. The residence was quite simple, but the advantage was that he didn't need any money and he also took care of the food, so everyone could live there with peace of mind.
Not long after, there was a roll call by a junior official and the number plates for the stage were issued. They arrived relatively late. The number plates were at the back. Er Sha was number 1300, followed by Qin Zhui, number 1301, and Song Yang again.
The last one.
The girl Xiao Qi is slightly ahead of them.
After all the trivial matters were settled, Xiao Qi timidly came over to thank her. At this time, she had simply washed up. Qin Zhui exclaimed when he saw her and said with a smile: "She is actually a beauty."
The second idiot said in a serious tone: "It's worth a hundred taels."
Xiao Qi didn't know that Song Yang had already planned a future for her, but just by defeating Sun Lengzi and helping her complete the registration, she was already extremely grateful.
While chatting, Qin Zhui asked about Xiao Qi's "skills". Perhaps due to the environment in which she grew up, Xiao Qi was not as lively and cheerful as girls of the same age. She was cautious in both her words and movements, as if Sun Lengzi was still standing behind her.
, the slightest carelessness will result in a severe beating.
Xiao Qi's voice was very soft: "Ever since I was a child, I have never dared to sleep at home at night... There is a horse stable next to my house, and I spend the night in the stables every day. Over time, I have figured out some principles of horse fortune.
Want to give it a try."
As he spoke, his eye circles gradually reddened and tears flowed out: "I have nothing, and I am a girl. I can't escape, and I can't escape far. God has blessed me with such an opportunity. As long as I am selected by the imperial envoy, I can leave Qingyang and hide.
Get rid of that evil person..." At this point, Xiao Qiyingying bowed down and said, "I would like to thank three more benefactors for allowing me to sign up as I wished."
When the country selects talents, the people of Nanli flock to it. Anyone who thinks they have a skill all comes to participate, but everyone has different purposes. For example, Song Yang wants to grab a seat to take back the relics of Doctor You and pursue revenge;
To show her face; like Xiao Qi... This is her only way out.
Song Yang felt a little sad, but still did not disclose his arrangements to the girl. When there was no way to retreat, he gritted his teeth and fought hard, so that she would have the best memories in the future.
