Chapter 52: Redemption and Salvation
Qingyue gently opened the curtain outside, so that the people in the sedan chair could see the situation outside at a glance, and a few men restrained their ruffians a little, and the "little beggar" on the ground was even more afraid.
Mrs. Qi's face was full of kindness and care, she sat in the sedan chair upright, looked at the people kneeling on the ground, swept over the men, and said in a charitable voice,
"Stand up and speak, look at the poor one. β
Those men obviously showed disdain for the people kneeling on the ground, but they were not too obvious in front of Mrs. Qi, they were cowering, and it was very obvious that they were afraid of the soft and the hard.
When the "little beggar" heard Mrs. Qi ask her to stand up, she hesitated for a long time before she got up tremblingly, her hair was messy, her clothes were in tatters, and she didn't dare to pant loudly with her head down.
Mrs. Qi sighed, looked at the "little beggar" and said with pity,
"Tell me, how much do you need to let her go. β
Those people obviously didn't expect Mrs. Qi to ask more, so they just opened their mouths and looked at each other several times, as if they were thinking about the price.
When the "little beggar" heard Mrs. Qi's words, he quietly raised his head, and looked over gratefully with a pair of red eyes, but lowered his head in an instant.
The last few people finally had enough of their eyes, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, stood up and spoke,
"Mrs. Qi, have you thought about it? This girl, but she ran out of the Qinglou, are you sure you want to help her?"
There was a black and big mole at the corner of this person's mouth, and it moved up and down when he spoke, showing a face of a philistine and a rudder who saw the wind, which was very disgusting.
Seeing that the other party opened his mouth like this, he just said the word presumptuous, and was about to be reprimanded, but when he saw Mrs. Qi raise her hand, she said with a kind face,
"If I'm willing to help her, I won't care about that, but if you want to say it, I don't mind hearing it, this girl is pitiful, and you won't look for her again." β
It turned out that this little girl, but fifteen or sixteen years old, a few days ago her mother died of illness, her father was addicted to gambling, so he sold her to a brothel for silver, to pay off gambling debts, who expected that this girl was quite strong, trained for a few days and disobedient, beaten not to say, and almost was forced.
In the end, he found an opportunity and ran out secretly, and the old * bustard was naturally angry, and immediately sent someone out to search, and after searching for a day, he found a person shrunken into a ball in a small corner near here.
A few people looked for a day yesterday, and today they were very unhappy, and they went up with a burst of punches and kicks, and as there were more and more onlookers, in order to insult each other, they became more presumptuous, in addition to kicking and beating, they did not forget to abuse, and finally pulled people back.
The little girl still resisted desperately, sobbing in a low voice, not going back, she couldn't help crying in despair twice, and several people thought about putting it in a sack directly, and they were entangled, and a later scene happened, Mrs. Qi passed by.
Of course, when Mrs. Qi listened to what the man said, it was naturally a little different from what her own family had reported, and the angle of this description was different from that of the filthy Cheng dΓΉ, and the matter was not much different.
Bao Qi sat on the side obediently, silently looking at Mrs. Qi's face when the man spoke, as well as the appearance of the little girl, lowered her head and sobbed, her body trembled even more, obviously this Ding's words were a second injury to her, but Mrs. Qi listened without changing her face.
Until the end, he continued to put on that kind and unbearable face, waved his hand,
"Okay, tell me, how much do you need to give me someone?"
A mole wiped his mouth, and he stammered and said with a stinging smile,
"Oh, this Mrs. Qi is really a well-known good person, this Qi Mansion is also the richest family in our capital, to be able to talk to Mrs. Qi, the villain is really fortunate to have three lives, if this is really to redeem this girl, I guess, tsk, the value of this Qi Mansion, how can I get this number?"
After that, he rubbed his hands, stretched out a hand and waved back and forth, with a greedy face.
The steward looked at it, and immediately showed indignation,
"What, fifty taels?!"
Bao Qi obviously saw that the girl's body was stagnant, and her head was lowered. A very shallow smile on the corner of Mrs. Qi's mouth was quickly erased, and she just sat upright and waited for the other party to speak.
A mole really rubbed his hands embarrassedly, smiled and moved back and forth with the black mole, making people want to pull it off for him.
"Well, this Qi Mansion is the number one family in the capital of our Great Qi Kingdom, and it is a well-known good person, hehehe, five hundred taels or two. β
The anger in the steward's eyes was even deeper, and he couldn't help but exert himself with the stick in his hand, a smile flashed in Mrs. Qi's eyes, and she only saw the trembling figure, shook her head, and said with great regret,
"That's it, one thousand taels, in the future, this girl will be from my Qi Mansion, and if you find trouble with her again, you will find trouble with my Qi Mansion. Give him the silver ticket. β
The person in charge obviously wanted to persuade his wife again, but the mole was happy, and the big black mole was shining, and the smile became more and more disgusting, staring at the silver ticket handed over and constantly reassuring,
"Oh, hahahaha, it's still Mrs. Qi's generosity, hehe, this is really the first good person and the richest man in our Daqi, no one can compare to this round, can't compare, hehehe......"
The person in charge gave the silver ticket to the other party with disdain, and he didn't want to look at another mole, so he took a deep breath and turned his head directly.
Mrs. Qi looked at the other party lightly after counting the silver ticket, and then continued to speak,
"Since this person is mine, this net worth contract ......"
"No problem! No problem! Immediately, I'll send you to the house as soon as I turn around!"
A mole stared at the silver ticket, and the mouth was struggling with the ticket, and the man's eyes behind him were about to pop out, and he lowered his head and laughed with him.
Bao Qi turned his head silently, and he couldn't observe it anymore, so he had to look at the poor little girl, seeing that the transaction was successful, he didn't know whether he was more relaxed or more nervous, his body was tense, and he looked weaker and weaker.
It seems that this Mrs. Qi, in order to buy people's hearts, really did not hesitate to do enough drama, dig a knife for others, and then make up for it.
After the men left, Mrs. Qi focused all her attention on the little girl, with kindness in her eyes and her voice like water.
"Raise your head, don't be afraid, what's your name, how old is it. β
The little girl trembled and didn't dare to raise her head, and Bao Qi said gently,
"Madame is the kindest relative, don't be afraid, just raise your head. β
The corners of Mrs. Qi's mouth curved, very faint enough for Bao Qi to see, looking at the poor little girl, she finally raised her head cautiously, but her eyes were still lowered and looked at the ground.
However, this is enough for others to see clearly.
A small pointed chin, looking less than fourteen years old, with bruises all over his face, with some dirty mud stains, red eyes, trembling eyelashes, white lips, small mouth open, thin voice with a crying tone,
"Helan ...... Fifteen years old......"
Qingyue gently opened the curtain outside, so that the people in the sedan chair could see the situation outside at a glance, and a few men restrained their ruffians a little, and the "little beggar" on the ground was even more afraid.
Mrs. Qi's face was full of kindness and care, she sat in the sedan chair upright, looked at the people kneeling on the ground, swept over the men, and said in a charitable voice,
