Chapter 577: Helping others is the foundation of happiness

The one who shouted this sentence was, of course, Yang Xianmao. Nature.2.

All eyes of everyone in the room were on him. The old bustard also turned his head suddenly, staring at the young Taoist standing not far away, seeing that he was holding his hands behind his back, looking lonely, and carrying a big wooden box on his back, as if he was a Taoist who traveled all over the world, but he didn't know who it was, just listening to the other party's exit and calling for a hundred taels, he couldn't help but gasp.

Before this, Liu Dongyan on the stage suddenly fell, of course, it was done by Yang Xianmao, and no one in the field saw that the plum blossom needle he shot out was as thin as a cow's hair, and it accurately shot into the ring jump point of Liu Dongyan's leg supporting the leg that ran forward. Liu Dongyan suddenly fell and died after failing to hit the pillar.

Immediately after that, Yang Xianmao called out all his property for one hundred taels of silver, which was the money he had just gotten from Old Man Ma's family in the belly of the Yaksha woman. Since you can't keep this money, this Yaksha statue may not be able to keep it for you, so it's better to use it for good deeds and save this poor woman.

In fact, to be honest, many people in this auction were very sympathetic and wanted to help them, but Yang Xianmao didn't make a move. Only Liu Dongyan, the daughter of the imperial doctor, made him decide to make a move, because the desperate look in Liu Dongyan's eyes touched his heart and reminded him of his own pain at the beginning. Under the sympathy of the same disease, the sympathy is even stronger. saw that she was about to fall into the hands of the old bustard in the Qinglou, and with her character, she would definitely not be willing to pick up customers. And with the old bustard's means of dealing with the woman in the Qinglou, you can know that she will suffer inhumane torture, in this case, Yang Xianmao decided to take action and save her from the sea of suffering.

The person presiding over the auction on the stage was immediately ecstatic, and shouted at the top of his voice: "This Taoist chief bid one hundred taels! The people who are Taoist monks love her so much, which shows the great temptation of this imperial doctor's daughter. Hahahaha, who else has ever paid this price? Hurry up and bid, if you don't come out, the girl will belong to this Taoist!"

The old bustard of Cuixianglou gritted her teeth and wanted to come out, but the eighty taels of silver had already made her flesh painful, if the fat man insisted on adding it just now, she was afraid that she would give up, and she would definitely not add it to such a high level as one hundred taels. And this person opened his mouth to be one hundred taels, looking like he was bound to win, and immediately defeated her desire to increase the price. However, she felt a little unbearable for her face, and she was directly overshadowed by the other party with a price difference of twenty taels, which made her a little angry.

Just when she was hesitating whether to raise the price again to save face, she suddenly saw that standing next to the young Taoist was the bear catcher of the Yamen, who shook his head at her and motioned her not to add more.

Xiong Zhutou is a frequent visitor to her Cuixiang Building, and there are often people fighting and making trouble in Zuixiang Building, and they all need to catch heads to get it done, so he has an extraordinary relationship with head catchers. Since the head catcher has such an expression, there must be a deep meaning in it.

So the old bustard immediately understood, nodded slowly, changed his smiling face, and said: "This Taoist chief is really generous, since the Taoist chief has taken a fancy to this Liu family girl, then let it be given to the Taoist chief." Anyway, we have a lot of girls in Cuixianglou, and there is no shortage of this one, and I also bought several today, which I like, and it can be regarded as a great harvest, so I can't let me take advantage of all the good things. Dao Chief, if you have time in the future, you will come to our Cuixiang Building, and the old body will definitely let the girls entertain the Dao Chief. Hee-hee-hee"

The chubby old bustard's waist twisted like this, and the white powder on his face fell down.

The presiding official on the stage called several more times, and when he saw that there was no more price increase, he immediately slapped his face and called Yang Xianmao and said, "Dao Chief, Liu Dongyan, the daughter of the imperial doctor, is you! ”

Xiong Zhutou hurriedly smiled and said to Yang Xianmao: "The Taoist chief will go here, and the little one will accompany you to register." ”

Xiong Zhutou accompanied Yang Xianmao out of the crowd and walked behind the stage. Xiong Zhutou was not surprised that Yang Xianmao paid a hundred taels of silver to buy this woman, a few days ago, the Taoist chief had taken out a jade bracelet worth one hundred and ten taels and sold it to himself to make a Taoist priest's degree, so, don't look at the linen Taoist robe worn by this little Taoist priest is very shabby, but there is Liu Wuye behind the person, I don't know how much money is saved.

Accompanied Yang Xianmao to the backstage, there was a table here, and two officials from the Yamen Department were in charge of the formalities. Yang Xianmao said to Xiong Zhutou: "Please help me go through the transfer procedures, and I will go to withdraw the money." ”

Xiong Zhutou nodded and said, "No problem, leave it to the little one." ”

Yang Xianmao left the yamen compound quickly, hired a carriage outside, and walked towards Qingfeng Temple. He prefers to take a carriage rather than a sliding pole, because the money for the carriage is relatively cheap and fast, and second, he really doesn't want two people to carry him.

The carriage was very fast, and soon it was back at Qingfeng Temple.

Of course, the Taoist of Qingfeng Guan knew him, and nodded and greeted Yang Xianmao. When he returned to his room, he closed the door, pushed open the cabinet, and entered the room of the idol of the Yaksha, and pressed his hand on his abdomen according to the gesture of the head of the clear wind, and opened the mechanism, and saw that the money in the box was still there.

When Yang Xianmao took out the money box and opened it, and saw the silver in the white flowers, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really a little worried that during this period, his five disadvantages and three shortcomings would make this silver disappear, so he didn't know what to do.

Yang Xianmao held the box of silver and returned to the yamen in a carriage.

The auction was still going on in the Yamen meeting hall, and he had no money left, and he was not interested in going to other auctions, so he went straight to the registration office behind the stage.

Xiong Zhutou hurriedly came up to help him carry the box to the registration office, and after counting it in person, it was exactly one hundred taels.

Before this, Xiong Zhutou had already helped Yang Xianmao complete the transfer procedures, and Liu Dongyan had changed from an official slave to Yang Xianmao's personal slave.

The deed of transfer was also opened by the yamen, Xiong Zhutou took it, handed it to Yang Xianmao, and said with a smile: "Dao Chief, you are really generous." To tell the truth, the little one has never heard of anyone who spends a hundred taels of silver to buy a maid, which is also expensive, if it is put on the market, a thin person like her can buy twenty or thirty. In the event of a famine, forty or fifty can be bought. However, it's worth the money, and it's good for the eyes. As long as you look at it, you feel that it is worth it. In particular, this girl is still the daughter of the imperial doctor next to the emperor, which makes people drool when she thinks about it. ”

This bear catcher is also a person who has no mouth to hide, talking nonsense, Yang Xianmao looked at Liu Dongyan who was standing next to him, and the two women next to him firmly grabbed his arm, for fear that she would be killed by another head, and she must be handed over to the buyer before she can be taken off.

Yang Xianmao asked the official in charge of registration, "If I want to release her as a civilian, what should I do?"

The scribe was stunned for a moment, and said, "This is very simple, you only need to go to the Yamen and our register to make a registration, write on the transfer deed that she is good, sign and stamp your handprint." ”

Yang Xianmao stepped forward, picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the registration book to put Liu Dongyan as a commoner and signed his name as a scholar, because the head of the household was himself.

Then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, he wrote the same words on the deed of transfer, and after signing, he reached out and dipped his hand in the ink, pressed his handprint on the register and the deed, handed the deed to Liu Dongyan, and said: "You don't have to die, you have regained your freedom." ”

Xiong Zhutou was stunned, and then he stammered and said to Yang Xianmao: "Dao Chief, you, you spent a hundred taels of silver to buy this woman, but immediately let her go as a commoner, what good will it do you? ”

Liu Dongyan originally lowered her head and kept crying, but when she heard Yang Xianmao's words, she raised her head, looked at the people around her, and looked at the words written on the deed in Yang Xianmao's hand, she understood what was going on, and looked at Yang Xianmao in a daze, not knowing why Yang Xianmao did this to her.

The officials of the Yamen were well-informed, and they had seen many people put their servants as commoners, so they were not too surprised. It's just that the matter in front of me is not quite the same as others, that is, people just buy it and let people go, and no conditions are attached.

Yang Xianmao said to the two women who were holding Liu Dongyan: "You let her go, she is now free and will not die." ”

The two people let go of Liu Dongyan. Yang Xianmao sent the deed forward again, and said, "Go on!"

Liu Dongyan raised his hand a little at a loss, took the Wenqi, glanced down, slowly raised his head again, looked at Yang Xianmao in a daze, and did not come back to his senses for a while.

Yang Xianmao smiled, arched his hand towards Xiong Zhu's head, and then turned around and walked outside the yamen. He felt very relaxed, it turned out that he got the money, although he couldn't keep it, but it could be used to help others, which is also good, helping others is the foundation of happiness.

Yang Xianmao felt very happy at this time, because he had already seen from Liu Dongyan's eyes that the sad and desperate look had disappeared. Indeed, a flowery girl like her will not embark on this road of no return until she has no way out. She regained her freedom, and naturally she no longer wanted to die.

A hundred taels of silver can save a girl's life, it's still worth it, not to mention that these silver can't belong to you at all.

He walked straight to the yamen and stretched out his waist, feeling particularly comfortable. Carrying a large wooden box on his back, he walked down the street.

The direction he walked was, of course, the tea shop of Xia Yinhua on the pier.

Now that the sun is just setting in the west, I can probably stay in the tea shop for an hour or two.

He walked comfortably along the street, feeling the gentle breeze of early spring.

After walking down a street, he suddenly stopped, because he felt someone following him. From his footsteps, he could tell that this person's martial arts were not weak, and he was a woman.

He frowned, could it be that the second group of killers sent by the shopkeeper had appeared? In front of the public, he didn't believe that the shopkeeper had the audacity to send killers to commit murder.

He quickened his pace, walking faster and faster, and at the same time, paying attention to the pace of the people who followed him. He was quickly relieved, for he was now far away from the man who was following him. Although the man walked in a hurry, as if he was trying to catch up, he couldn't catch up with Yang Xianmao's pace of rushing forward.

Yang Xianmao could conclude that the martial arts of the woman who followed her was not weak, but it seemed that for some reason she was unable to display all her skills.

He didn't feel anyone else following him other than the sound of the woman's footsteps. …… There's only one killer?And there's still a loss of martial arts, it's too child's play!

So, Yang Xianmao stopped, listened to the footsteps behind him and chased closer, and stood more than ten steps away from him.
