"Hey, this little lady looks good, what is she holding in her hand?"

Xue Pan was usually arrogant, and suddenly saw that the girl next to the man looked very handsome, and she was nervously holding a sign in her arms, and grabbed it without thinking about it.

"What's written?"

Wu Quan knew that his young master couldn't recognize too many words, so he came up to help take a look, and then said: "Uncle, what it says is that there is a drought in their hometown, and they want to sell their daughter to live." ”

Xue Pan suddenly became interested and looked at the father and daughter again. I saw that the girl was not as dirty as the man, on the contrary, she was very cleanly dressed. Dressed in cheesecloth clothes, with slightly yellowed hair pinned with a wooden hairpin, delicate complexion, delicate eyebrows, weak and tactful, she is actually a top beauty!

Xue Pan was about to laugh, when he suddenly saw Jia Baoyu push aside everyone, walked to the girl, and stared at a rouge note on the forehead of the person. The girl took a step back.

Xue Pan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I said Brother Bao, you have never seen the world before, and you scared everyone." If you take a fancy to her, and her father is going to sell her, how about you buy her as a maid? ”

Jia Baoyu didn't answer him. Xue Pan said again: "It must be my aunt and aunt who are in charge of it, you don't have any silver on you, so how about I buy it and give it to you as a maid?" ”

Jia Baoyu finally responded: "Brother Xue is willing? ”

"Hey, it's just a Peugeot's little daughter-in-law, between you and my brothers, since you have taken a fancy to it, can I still rob you? It's just that you don't forget my brother in the future. After Xue Pan finished speaking, he glanced at Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu Wan'er, this product is still thinking about his "collection".

But he didn't say anything, he really didn't expect that at this time, in this way, he would meet this girl who ranked first in the second book of the twelve hairpins - Xiangling!

Jin Hai, the first person to appear in the Red Mansion, is also a girl with the most bumpy fate. was originally a young lady with fine clothes and jade food, but she was abducted by a kidnapper at the age of four or five, and was later bought by Xue Panqiang and became Xue Pan's concubine, and was finally killed by Xue Pan's wife Xia Jingui (judging from the fifth judgment, she should indeed have died at the hands of Xia Jingui. In view of the incompleteness of the Red Mansion and the different versions, any controversial plots in this book in the future will be subject to the apocryphal ones in this book).

In this way, the man is a crutch.

Seeing Xue Pan keep saying that he wanted to buy his daughter, the man's face changed several times, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "This uncle really wants to buy a little girl?" Just now, a son bid 200 taels to buy a little girl, if the price of this uncle is high, I will sell the little girl to the uncle, and in the future, she will be a slave and a concubine, and it is all up to the uncle. ”

"Dad, that Feng Gongzi ......" The girl pulled the man's sleeve, and when he glared at her, she immediately retracted in fright, and didn't dare to speak again.

Wu Quan leaned into Xue Pan's ear and said: "Uncle, don't be fooled, he is asking for a sky-high price, and ordinary girls like this can buy it for a few dozen taels of silver at most." ”

Xue Pan didn't think it was expensive, and looked at this maid again, and felt that it was indeed worth the price. looked at Jia Baoyu again, saw that he frowned and pondered, but his eyes kept falling on the girl, after thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, "One price, three hundred taels!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the diners in Yixian Ju, who had long been paying attention to the situation here, suddenly let out a sigh. Three hundred taels of silver, even in Jinling City, you can buy a small house!

The man was really overjoyed: "Ye is really refreshing!" ”

Xue Pan held his head high, enjoying this kind of "worship" scene, he secretly said in his heart, my mother has asked me to take good care of my cousin every day for the past two days, and now I give him such a big gift, can he still be grateful to me from the bottom of his heart, and obey me from now on? It's his good things, and I'm going to ask him to give them to me in the future, and there's no reason why he shouldn't agree. Thinking of this, Xue Pan left behind the reluctance in his heart and said: "Okay, I don't have so much silver with me at this time, wait for me to send someone back to the house to get it, now, your daughter is my brother's person." ”

After speaking, Xue Pan pulled the girl over, scared her to hide behind the man, but it was useless, as soon as the man pushed her, she was caught by Xue Pan, and then the tears began to flow down uncontrollably.

Jia Baoyu sighed, but he didn't have time to care about her at this time, so he stopped Xue Pan from sending someone back to get the silver, and turned his head to look at the man. The man nodded and asked, "What does this master command?" ”

"Is she really your daughter?"

"Of course, there is a fake ....... this"

"Lie!" Jia Baoyu suddenly shouted, attracting the attention of all the diners in the entire lobby. The man's face changed, and he said, "Uncle, what do you mean by this?" ”

Xue Pan was also busy asking Jia Baoyu what he meant, and Jia Baoyu said: "He is a kidnapper!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked sideways. The man's face changed greatly, and he said sharply: "Blood spews people, do you want to bully people and rob them?" After saying this, he seemed to be very angry, and stepped forward to pull the girl over, while saying, "Li'er, let's go, Dad won't sell you!" ”

Where did Xue Pan care about him so much, he lifted him away and asked the girl, "Tell me, is he your father?" ”

The girl seemed to be very afraid of Xue Pan, shrunk her neck, and said after a long time: "He, he is my father......"

The people around him were disappointed, and the man who stood still also looked at Jia Baoyu with a smug face.

Jia Baoyu sneered, most of these abductors have some means, specializing in abducting those very small girls, when they grow up to such an age, most of them don't remember the past, or maybe they have been afraid of people since they were young, and they can't easily ask.

Jia Baoyu was silent before, thinking about how to bring this kidnapper to justice as quickly as possible. Although the ancient government also punished abductors very strongly, due to the limitations of the times, such as inconvenient transportation and closed information, abductors are still popular.

Most people in the world do not want to know whether those who sell their children and daughters are abductors, not only because of trouble, but most importantly, because the ancients did not talk about human rights, at least the human rights of ordinary people are difficult to protect. But since this kidnapper met Jia Baoyu today, no matter what, Jia Baoyu did not let him go.

Looking at the crutch's expression that gradually became reassuring, Jia Baoyu snorted coldly and said, "There is a god three feet above his head!" Not only do I know that you are a kidnapper, but I also know that you abducted her from Suzhou, yes or no? ”

Jia Baoyu looked at the man with a sneer on his face and contempt, but in fact, he was also trying to scare him and make him show more flaws. Although he knew that Xiangling was abducted in Suzhou, if this abductor was not the first person to handle it (the one who started it back then), it is estimated that the effect would not be ideal. But seeing that this kidnapper is dressed so badly, it is obviously very messy, and it is unlikely that it is a big gang to commit the crime.

Sure enough, the smugness in the man's eyes dissipated, replaced by a look of panic. It's been eight or nine years, and he doesn't know how Jia Baoyu knew......

Jia Baoyu knew it in her heart, so she continued to sneer: "Not only do I know that you abducted her in Suzhou, but I also know who her parents are, which street she lives in, and how old she was when she was abducted by you, by the way, that night, it seems that it was still the Lantern Festival......

As soon as the words of the Lantern Festival came out, the man couldn't hold it at all, he looked at Jia Baoyu as if he was a ghost, Tengteng took two steps back, but he still subconsciously argued in his mouth: "You are talking nonsense, no, there is nothing at all...... but it is useless.

Xue Pan scolded happily and said, "I'll just say, this kind of rammer, how can you give birth to such a peugeot daughter?" Bah, it turned out to be a crutch! But, Brother Bao, how do you know this, do you really know her parents? No, she looks older than you, how can you possibly know her parents? ”

Jia Baoyu ignored Xue Pan for the time being, took advantage of the man's distraction, and continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, we just need to arrest you and go to the official, if you want to come to the official mansion to investigate, it is not difficult to find out your details." ”

Hearing that he was going to arrest him and go to the official, the kidnapper was completely anxious, if ordinary people just did it, the government would not necessarily pay attention to it, and he also had some other tricks to deal with. But Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu looked like people from the official eunuchs, even if they had nothing to do, he didn't dare to fight with such people, not to mention that what Jia Baoyu said was true? I was scared, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I looked behind me for a while, and suddenly I ran out.

Jia Baoyu had already given the minions around him a look, and as soon as he moved, four or five people had already pounced on him, and the general was in front of the stone steps outside the gate and grabbed him back.

Xue Pan was very happy: "I didn't expect Brother Bao to have such a good ability to judge the case, haha, let's go, let's take him to see the official, maybe he can get a few taels of silver reward!" ”

No matter what era it is, the government advocates righteousness and courage. Ordinary people who help the government with their work are usually rewarded, but not the rule.

The people around him also cheered, and the world knew that the abductor was the most indiscriminate, unconscionable, and at the same time the most difficult. Jia Baoyu made a crutch appear in its original form in a few words, and the people around him who watched the whole process naturally praised him.

Jia Baoyu didn't float, where did he have any ability to solve the case, but he just relied on his foresight. However, after catching this kidnapper, Jia Baoyu was really in a good mood, glanced at Xiangling on the side, saw that she was stunned, and didn't know what to say for a while, so she was ready to take the kidnapper to the government to prepare the case before discussing how to place her.

"Wait!" A young boy and a boy hurriedly ran into Yixian Residence. He looked at the situation around him and was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly locked on the crutch and Xiangling, and then scolded at the crutch: "Okay, you unreasonable bastard, since you promised me, and received my fixed money, and now you sell your daughter to others, how can there be such a reason in the world?" ”

Feng Yuan was shocked and angry in his heart. He was originally from Jinling, and his parents died when he was a child, but fortunately he left some property for him to live.

Today he had nothing to do, went out for a walk, and met someone who sold women. It is also fate, he fell in love with the weak and beautiful girl at a glance, and was determined to marry her as a concubine, and vowed not to marry again, so he wanted to be more formal, only paid the fixed money, and agreed to carry a sedan chair to marry three days later. Fortunately, he was not too relieved, so he sent the boy to follow them from afar, who knew that after a while, he saw the boy come back in a hurry, saying that the man was going to sell his daughter to Xue Pan.

Although Xue Pan's name is not resounding in Jinling City, at least in Nanxingfang, it is a "well-known" existence. How could he not be in a hurry, and immediately rushed over with the boy.

But the boy only saw Xue Pan wanting to buy someone before, and he didn't know what was going on, so he was a little confused about the situation here.

"Isn't this Feng Xianggong? Didn't you say that women are the most boring, they are not as well-behaved and cute as your boys, why do you want to buy maids now? But it's a pity that this person is a kidnapper, and he has been recognized by this son just now, and he is about to take him to see the official. ”

A diner in the lobby suddenly joked, listening to the voice, he and Feng Yuan were familiar with each other, and he also helped Feng Yuan explain the situation here.

Don't look at Xue Pan calling Jia Baoyu affectionately "Brother Bao", but he is not a person who knows politeness and pity, seeing Feng Yuan blocking the way, he scolded: "Go away, go away, Uncle Ben is going to send him to the yamen now, who cares if you have any fixed silver or not!" If you get in the way again, let me know who Uncle Xue is! ”

Feng Yuan's face was ugly, ashamed and angry, ashamed that he was exposed in public for his good Longyang, and angry because of Xue Pan's arrogance and unreasonableness. Seeing that Xiangling was being grabbed by the Xue family, the tears on his face were still clear, how could he give way when the man's self-esteem had increased greatly, and let Xue Pan take people away like this?

"Since he is a kidnapper, everyone wants to drag him to see the official, Feng naturally has no reason to stop him, but he just asked the little poor girl to be released...... Since he was abducted and trafficked, and he was not in a cheap position, if everyone forcibly took her away, how different would this move be from robbing a people's daughter? ”

"Let your mother's fart, Lao Tzu's brother exposed the true face of the abductor and saved her, she didn't follow my brother Bao, and she still followed you? Prisoner rammer, it seems that Lao Tzu doesn't give you a little color, look at it, you don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has......"

Seeing that Xue Pan was about to make a move, the helpless Jia Baoyu hurriedly grabbed him. I'm a good big brother, even if you have good intentions, but according to your way, haven't we really changed from a righteous person who punishes rape and eliminates evil to a powerful bully who robs people's daughters?

"Feng Gongzi, right? You say incense...... The little girl is not a lowly person, she is a woman from a good family. But after all, we rescued her from the kidnappers, and now I don't know where her parents and relatives are, if we don't take her away, how can she survive as a weak woman? Although you said that you had spent a fixed amount of money to buy her before, but that person was not her father and a kidnapper, this matter naturally can't be counted, if Feng Gongzi is determined to bite this matter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the suspicion of colluding with the kidnapper and occupying the people's daughters, right? Therefore, if Feng Gongzi wants to take her away from us, he has to find another reason. ”

Jia Baoyu said with a smile.

"Brother Bao, what are you talking to him, this prisoner obviously wants to rob you of people, what are you polite to him, look at my brother, I will help you teach him a lesson!"

Xue Panwu shouted to himself, but he was stopped by Jia Baoyu, and he was actually very dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu's girls. Seeing that the two masters did not agree on their opinions, the subordinates of the Xue Jia family naturally did not make their own opinions.

Feng Yuan was only looking up at the small young man in front of him at this time, and he deeply felt that this person was much smarter than Xue Panke, but it was an opportunity for him.

"This son is reasonable, and he doesn't say anything about the silver. It's just that Li'er is neither a cheap nor a slave, and it is naturally not good for you and me to forcibly take her away, in this case, why don't we ask Li'er about the girl's own wishes, if he is also willing to follow this Uncle Xue, Feng will definitely no longer be entangled, and will leave immediately. On the contrary, if she is willing to go with me, please also ask this son and Uncle Xue not to hinder ......"

After Feng Yuan said this, he felt very proud. He is eighteen years old, his family is well-off, although he is not rare and handsome, but he is still personable, and when he bought someone from a kidnapper before, he also talked a lot to Li'er, and he can feel that she also has a good impression of herself. Therefore, as long as you give Li'er a chance to speak, I don't believe that she doesn't choose herself.

Jia Baoyu frowned, he could naturally see Feng Yuan's plan, and Feng Yuan deliberately mentioned Xue Pan, probably to put pressure on Xiangling, after all, Xue Pan did not look like a good person in terms of appearance or the series of words and deeds just now.

After thinking about it, Jia Baoyu finally decided to follow Feng Yuan's words. It's not because he knows that Feng Yuan and Xiangling are a pair of wrongs in the original book and want to fulfill them, in fact, Jia Baoyu doesn't think that Xiangling will definitely be able to live a good life with Feng Yuan.

However, Jia Baoyu didn't want to be strong, if Xiangling wanted to follow Feng Yuan, he didn't need to stop it. However, the courtesy is still exchanged, since Feng Yuan made a trick first, Jia Baoyu also said: "Feng Gongzi is reasonable, but I am very puzzled, this kidnapper looks so ugly, but the girl is so good-looking, didn't Feng Gongzi think that he might be a kidnapper before?" Or Feng Gongzi doesn't care about this, but he just wants to add a concubine to the house, so that if he doesn't reveal this matter, he will let the girl fall into slavery with peace of mind, but it will be beneficial to Feng Gongzi, hehe. ”

Jia Baoyu smiled, suddenly thinking a little about the feeling of a lupine scarf, and raised his hand only to find that there was no fan in his hand.

"You ......" Feng Yuan's face changed, but he was speechless, Suo Xing no longer ignored Jia Baoyu, turned to Xiangling and said: "Miss Li'er, since I saw Miss Li'er, I fell in love with the girl at first sight, and I wanted to marry the girl as my wife, and I will treat her sincerely in the future." My sincerity can be seen by the sun and the moon, otherwise I would not have made a three-day appointment before, and I ask the girl to believe that I will ...... in the next place."
