Chapter 52: The Bottom Line
Huang Jie made a move, and he didn't dare to be sloppy at all, he took out the black hood from his arms again, knocked on Su Xiaocao's head casually, and looked around on his shoulder, and found that no one found it, so he hurriedly blended into the night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Carrying a person on his shoulder, Huang Jie's speed seemed to be unaffected, and he was seen running fast in the night. The winding alleys were dark, but he was hurrying with his eyes almost closed, and he was obviously familiar with the area.
An hour later, Huang Jie carried Su Xiaocao, who was still unconscious, to a dilapidated courtyard, and he broke into it without hesitation.
The courtyard was dark at the moment, without any lights, and through the not bright moonlight, I could vaguely see a black shadow flashing in front of the dilapidated house in the courtyard.
A break followed: "Who broke into my beggar gang rudder?" ”
Huang Jie didn't stop, still rushing to the front of the house, and replied loudly: "The dog is my Huang Jie, is the helmsman his old man there?" Tonight we came across a good thing, and this time it will definitely be enough for us to spend a while. ”
The black shadow who was called the dog did not respond, but turned directly into the house, and in the blink of an eye, an oil lamp was lit up in the room.
Huang Jie also entered the house at this time, and there were eight children huddled in the corner of the house, the clothes they were wearing were very shabby, and their heads and faces were even dirtier, like little beggars.
The eight children were obviously awakened in their sleep just now, and when they saw that it was Huang Jie, their panic quickly turned into happiness.
Fleeing all the way from the capital to the provincial capital of Guangzhou, there were originally more than 30 of them, but they were chased and killed all the way to the point where more than 20 people died. And most of those who died died to save the eight children and buy time for them to escape, leaving them to die after the break.
I was scared along the way, but I finally settled down today, and I thought I would be able to sleep peacefully tonight. Unexpectedly, they were awakened in the middle of the night, and the children were relieved until they saw that it was Huang Jie.
"Big brother, what are you carrying on your shoulders, is it for food?" A little girl hiding in the back, because the light in the room was too dark, she couldn't see that Huang Jie was a person on her shoulder.
Huang Jie smiled and said, "Almost, when this thing is sold, you can eat for a long time." ”
While speaking, Huang Jie's body shook, unloaded Su Xiaocao directly from his shoulder, and threw it on a pile of dry straw behind the door.
The straw was nearly one meter high, and when Su Xiaocao fell, the whole person quickly fell into it. The slight vibration made her let out a muffled snort, Huang Jie turned around and glanced at her, seeing that she was still unconscious, so he didn't pay attention to her anymore and walked alone to the wooden table on the side.
The eight children were very well-behaved, and they all stepped forward to pour water and move chairs for him, and the two little girls even stepped forward to pinch their feet.
Huang Jie naturally enjoyed the children's service, and when the dog brought an old man out of the back room, he got up to greet him, hugged his fists and saluted: "Qi Qi helmsman, I have good luck tonight, I can definitely sell it for a good price if I get a good product." ”
"Where, old man, take a look?" The old man's cloudy eyes suddenly brightened.
Huang Jie turned around and pointed to the pile of straw and said proudly: "This person is definitely a peerless level, although she is a woman disguised as a man, she can't escape my eyes." ”
The old man didn't pay attention to Huang Jie, but went straight to the straw pile and glanced inside. I saw a weak body with a hooded head lying inside, and I couldn't see my face at all when my head was covered, and the old man ordered: "Take off the hood, if it's really beautiful, don't sell it to those green buildings this time." Those people rely on the backstage to be hard, and every time they push the price to the lowest, the old man has had enough of this kind of person's anger. ”
Huang Jie was slightly stunned, and said urgently: "But, if we don't sell to these people, who else can we sell to?" ”
"Hmph, there was no way in the capital before, although the money was fast for this business. But things have to be carried out in secret, so every time we trade with those Qinglou, they always catch our sore feet and take the opportunity to lower the price. And we have nothing else to do about it, after all, they dare to accept such a woman in the capital. ”
The old man paused for a moment, and then continued: "But it's different in this provincial city, there are a lot of foreign devils here, and recently I heard that Nayi Hetang bought some women in Daliang and wanted to send them to San Francisco to sell." Doing business with these foreign devils, we don't have to be polite at all, as long as the goods are really good, we must raise the price fiercely. ”
"Doing business with those foreign devils? Helmsman, will this work? Huang Jie's face was full of worry.
He has no less contact with those foreign devils, and it is easy to say a little about ordinary foreign devils, especially those godfathers who are still very kind. But those so-called businessmen are different, they are definitely the most greedy people, and their methods and schemes are absolutely vicious.
In order to make profits, those people can do everything, and the simplest is what kind of big smoke, which can now be seen in the entire Qing Dynasty. Every year, the people of the Qing Dynasty were fished out by these gringos because of their cigarettes.
This is a big deal, Huang Jie doesn't have the heart to that heart, but if he wants him to sell the women of the Qing Dynasty to them, Huang Jie is a hundred unwilling in his heart.
Originally, he was sorry enough for others to do these things in secret, but if he sold them to the local Qinglou, these women would generally be able to redeem themselves as long as they worked for a few years. By the way, I found a rich businessman or a lord or something to marry, and my life in the future was very good.
What now? But he wanted to sell it to those foreign devils, and he sent people to a distant and strange place with this hand, how can a lone woman who is not familiar with life still live?
Hearing Huang Jie's hesitant tone, the old man's face tightened, his eyes stared at him with a cold light, and he said coldly: "You kid are accusing the old man?" These women are sold to different places, and we sell them to whoever they sell to wherever the price is higher. It's a bastard if you don't make money, or do you have to live with money now! ”
The old man is actually not a real beggar, he is just a human tooth dealer, and a few years ago he kidnapped the wife and concubine of a big official in the capital and sold it to the Qinglou. got a large sum of silver, but unfortunately the East Window incident happened, and the official sent a wanted official document, and this person escaped from the capital overnight after learning the news.
But when he stayed in a ruined temple outside the city, he met a beggar who looked very similar to him, and after some understanding, he found that he was actually the helmsman of the beggar gang. The old man immediately set up his mind to murder this person, and replace this beggar with a mixed view!
