Zheng Mansion.

The mansion covers an area of more than 300 acres, the mansion is full of rows of courtyards and gardens, various buildings distributed, Suzhou and Hangzhou style garden buildings, pavilions and water pavilions, ponds and mountain stones, beautiful all over the entire mansion.

In the back of the central axis of Zheng Mansion, there is a tall building, like a large hall, and there is a large plaque horizontally above the lintel, on which there are three golden characters of "Jing Xin Zhai".

In the lobby, the candles are bright, surrounded by sandalwood, and the statue of Sanqing Daojun is hung in the south, and there are altars and incense burners to worship below, and the bronze incense burner is pouring out a faint sandalwood incense.

In the middle of the lobby, there is a white jade circle, covered with a thin brocade quilt, and the quilt is embroidered with a sun and moon Taiji.

An old man of about sixty or seventy years old, wearing a thick silk satin blue robe, with a thin figure, was sitting upright on the top of the circle, looking like a treasure elephant solemn, his eyes were slightly closed, and his right hand was holding a silver pestle like a withered tree, and he was gently knocking on the silver pan in front of him.

This old man who seems to be a fairy is none other than Zheng An, an old official of the Zheng Mansion, the grandfather of the current queen and the ruler of the Zheng Mansion in Jiangning.

Zheng An is also a legendary figure in Jiangning, a young man from literature, a young man who learned martial arts without being a first, and later formed a salt gang, became a literate underworld boss, and got along well with the official, and gradually occupied half of Jiangning's private salt trade, so he became rich. It is said that when Empress Zheng entered the palace, she was originally inconspicuous, but because Zheng An was willing to spend money in the palace, Empress Zheng was able to enter the eyes of the Queen Mother, and gradually became favored, and eventually became a generation of national mothers. At this point, the Zheng Mansion became rich and noble, and the business was no longer limited to the sale of private salt, silk, porcelain, restaurants, casinos, and brothels in green houses...... Where there are important benefits, he dabbles in everything, and gradually becomes one of the four major mansions.

It's just that no matter how rich the Zheng Mansion is, no matter how brilliant Zheng An is, after all, it can't withstand the hurried years, and the old man Zheng, who once dominated the Jiangning underworld, is still in good spirits, but his sideburns are pale, and wrinkles and age spots crawl all over his face.

Five years ago, Zheng An gradually retreated into the background, cultivating "meditation and fasting", concentrating on cultivation, seeking the secret of eternal life, and rarely went out. However, the people in the mansion knew that as long as the old official was in charge of the mansion for a day, he would be the master of the mansion, even if it was Zheng Qing, the big official who was nominally in charge of the Zheng Mansion, he did not dare to have the slightest disobedience in front of the old official.

A young man in fancy clothes, standing beside Zheng An with low eyebrows, his demeanor was very humble, and he didn't dare to take a breath of the atmosphere, it was Zheng Feng, who was known as the first evil boy in Jiangning.

Beside him, there was a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, who also looked sincerely frightened.

"Your big house is really getting more and more interesting...... More than 20 people were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, and the gambling hall was almost smashed, but it really gave my Zheng family face. ”

Zheng An's voice was unhurried, not impatient, and did not have a trace of gunpowder, but Zheng Qing was frightened and pale.

Zheng Qing glared at Zheng Feng viciously, and hurriedly whispered, "Grandfather taught me a lesson." ”

"Zhao Shixuan is wooden, Xie Yun is just a woman, and the son of the waste wood is just a child's play, so you don't have to mind...... It's just that the medicine is lost? Although there are many displaced people in the city, medicine is scarce, do you all eat dry rice? ”

Zheng An's last sentence was obviously filled with deep reproach, which shocked Zheng Qing's forehead with sweat.

"Zhao Fu'er has done something bad first, and the child has sent someone to chase after him...... Unexpectedly, the man surnamed Fang was killed in half of the field, and the people in the house were not opponents at all, so he lost the medicine and asked his father for forgiveness. ”

"There will be more than 500 nursing homes in the house every month, is it possible that the CD has been fed to the dogs, and a group of litters have been raised, and even a wild man can't beat it?" Zheng An's voice became more and more annoyed.

Zheng Qing said hurriedly: "That man's skills are indeed extraordinary, I'm afraid he is not under Yinyi, the child has ordered Yinyi to investigate, if he gets the news, he will take it and ask for the crime." ”

"Hmph, Duanyang Festival is close, if you can't get together the medicine at that time, the housekeeper will hand it over to the second room."

After Zheng An said that, he closed his eyes again, no longer looking at Zheng Qing's father and son, but just knocked on the jade pan one after another, as if he had settled down.

Zheng Qing's face became extremely pale, and he pulled Zheng Feng to say goodbye, and then withdrew.

I just walked to the door of the lobby, but I was stopped by Zheng An.

"The son of the Zhao family suddenly changed his mind and did good deeds everywhere, I am afraid that it was not a whim, but there must be a plan...... The daughter of the Wang family, seeing that she is about to leave the cabinet, Feng'er and Yu'er must work hard, if you get the daughter of the Wang family...... I don't need to say more. ”

"Save the child."

After meditating on the fast, Zheng Qing finally took a breath and wiped his sweat unconsciously.

"Father, if Zhao Hao still goes to the market tomorrow to make trouble, what if it's good?" Zheng Feng asked with palpitations.

In the entire Jiangning City, Zheng Fengtian is not afraid of the ground, but he can only be in awe of his great-grandfather Zheng Anxin.

Zheng Qing snorted coldly, with a weird smile on his face: "Don't worry, my father has his own plans, even if the son of the Zhao family is trying to make trouble, he won't be able to support it for a few days." ”

After speaking, his expression was solemn again, and he scolded coldly: "From today on, you must restrain your mind, study well, and stop messing around, and you don't have to worry about the things that are introduced by medicine." ”

Zheng Feng blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "There are so many good women in the world, how can a child give up the strange women in the world for the daughter of the Wang family, it is better to give it to the jade brother, why should his own family fight." The child asked the elder brother of the Lu family to drink in Tianxianglou, and asked his father to forgive the child for the crime of neglecting to accompany him."

Zheng Qing was so angry that he smoked: "Evil animal, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Feng had already run away.

*************************

The next day, Zhao Hao got up early as usual, and after breakfast, he said goodbye to Xie Yun and Zhao Shixuan, took Zhao Ling and Liang Lie and other domestic slaves, pulled a cart of money, and went out in a mighty way.

Xie Yun has felt a lot more relieved, no longer like yesterday, he is facing the enemy, but he just asks the house slaves to return every hour for a peace of mind.

This time, Zhao Hao and his entourage went straight to Dongtou City with a familiar car, and came to the old place of human trafficking, but at first glance, Zhao Hao was dumbfounded.

The open space was densely packed with people, and I am afraid that if there were not six or seven hundred people, the one hundred yuan of money brought with them would not be enough at all.

When he took a closer look, Zhao Hao didn't feel happy.

, have you ever seen a young man wearing a silk shirt and shaking a feather fan with a "self-selling" sign stuck around his neck? Have you ever seen a bitter child with pink carved jade and jade hair? You...... Have you ever seen someone who came to sell himself in a sedan chair?

In the crowd, there were all kinds of people, but there were no small benches to sit and eat melon seeds.

A real refugee, with a look of numbness, despair and hunger in his eyes, can tell at a glance that he is not a refugee.

Seeing that Zhao Hao got off the warm sedan chair, the crowd on the opposite side was in an uproar, rushing over like a tide, but was stopped by Liang Lie and others with water and fire sticks.

Looking at Zhao Ling, who was not leaving beside him, Zhao Hao's heart was a little relieved.

The real and fake refugees made Zhao Hao cry and laugh.

Love to take advantage of the small advantage, ancient and modern, every nation has its inferior roots, the Chinese nation's inferior roots, is too smart, especially the little smart.

"Childe, my baby hasn't eaten for three days, so I beg Childe to buy him so that I can find a place to eat."

"Zhao Gongzi, buy my boy, just give him a bowl of rice to eat, and don't starve to death."

"This girl can sing and dance, and the son will definitely not lose money if she buys it to be a maid for herself."

……

In the face of the chaotic crowd, Zhao Hao's expression did not move, his eyes shuttled through the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on a five or six-year-old boy.

I saw that the little boy was born with red lips and white teeth, white and jade, white and clean skin, although he was covered with a tattered cloth shirt on the outside, but the silk shirt was exposed inside, and most importantly, he was stepping on a pair of new satin foundation riding boots under his feet.

What's even funnier is that there are two or three big men around him, although they are also dressed in shabby clothes, they obviously reveal a brave spirit.

"Zheng Yue, force: 3; Intelligence: 15; Speed: 6;Light work: 2; Politics: 8; Command: 5; Health: 91; Host's Opinion: 30. ”

After inquiring about the attributes of the little broken child, Zhao Hao's heart instantly understood, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Fuck your uncle, the Zheng family is really good at playing, I really can't bear the child to catch the wolf, and the master is an idiot.

He slowly raised his hand and hooked his finger at the little broken child.

The little broken child had already looked eager to try, and as soon as he saw Zhao Hao stretching out his hand, he immediately jumped up, sprinkled joy, and ran in front of Zhao Hao.

The big man who followed him already showed an uneasy look, but the little broken child showed an innocent look, his eyes kept blinking, and his voice looked pitiful: "Childe, okay, okay, I haven't eaten for three days, I'm so hungry that my stomach hurts, buy me...... Ouch, my stomach hurts so much from hunger, woo woo woo ......"

Zhao Hao felt a chill in his heart, pointed to the man in green clothes beside him and asked, "Wu Na man, this is your son?" ”

The man in green hesitated for a moment, glanced at the little broken child awkwardly, and then nodded with difficulty.

Zhao Hao smiled slightly, and asked again: "Want to sell geometry?" ”

The man hesitated again, then looked at the broken child's hopeful eyes, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty." ”

As soon as the words fell, the little broken child already smiled, smiling like a soil dog.

Zhao Hao also smiled, smiling like a spring flower: "Okay, deal, take twenty times!" ”

Soon, Li Hong and a few domestic slaves took twenty pieces of money from the carriage and handed it to the man in green clothes, who already had a premonition that the situation was wrong, but he had to take the string of heavy money, two hundred catties of money, and his body was a little unstable on his feet.

Zhao Hao pointed to the little broken child who was full of smugness, and shouted in a deep voice: "People and money are clear, take them back to the house!" ”

Liang Lie, a fat house slave, immediately lifted the little broken child over like an eagle catching a chicken.

In an instant, the man in green clothes and the two men not far from him instantly changed their faces.

At the same time, the little broken child was so frightened that his face turned pale, and it took him a long time to react, and the two little short legs kicked in the air, and he cried loudly: "You lie to people, you obviously say that you only reward money and don't want people." ”

The three men finally understood, and the man in green clothes cried with a sad face, and respectfully handed over the twenty yuan of money: "The son forgives the sin, and the grass people are reluctant to sell their sons." ”

Zhao Hao laughed in his heart, but there was a vicious look on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "The deal has been completed, how can there be any reason to regret it?" Quickly take it back to the house, put it in the dog pen for three days, and only feed the dog food every day! ”

As he spoke, Liang Lie had already stuffed the crying little broken child into the carriage.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the three men hurriedly threw the large money in their hands to the ground, and rushed towards the carriage in unison.

Bang bang bang~

Zhao Ling jumped up, blocked in front of the three people, kicked the three of them three times in a row, and kicked the three of them to the ground.

The three of them got up and rushed towards the carriage like crazy, and then they were kicked to the ground by Zhao Ling, three times in a row.

Finally, the three of them knew that there was no hope of saving people, so they staggered up and rushed towards the west of the city.

In such a fuss, the originally bustling group of "refugees" ran away seven or eight percent, and only sixty or seventy people remained.

These are real refugees with a look of hunger in their eyes.
