307 The girl with the knife
I saw that as soon as the curtain of the inner room was lifted, three men came out, rolling up their sleeves, holding a leather whip, twisting their eyebrows, and staring at their eyes.
It turned out that although these three people were fierce on their faces, they were all thin and withered, and they didn't have a few catties of meat on their bodies, so it was okay to bully and bully these girls, but they had no chance of winning when they met Lin Yuan.
The three thugs also knew that the persimmon was going to pick up the soft pinch, and saw that although Lin Yuan was not tall and mighty, he was sturdy, and he knew that he was not easy to deal with, so he went to the girl, pointed at her nose and scolded: "You are a cheap breed, you are carrying knives everywhere, and you want to go somewhere else!" ”
The girl was just in the middle of the crowd, and the three thugs pounced like three wolves, so frightened that the girls around them screamed and ran away, and the girl shrank into a ball in fright and stretched out her hand to parry, but where was the opponent of the three strong men, she was grabbed by the hair and thrown to the ground in the blink of an eye.
The girl curled up on the ground, trembling vigorously, and begged, "Mother, I know that I am wrong, don't beat me again, woo ......" and began to sob.
The three thugs seemed to be very excited when they saw the girl's sobbing, and they raised their whips to beat, Lin Yuan was very surprised to see that no one rushed towards him, he shouted "slow", and saw the three thugs stop, Lin Yuan asked slowly and methodically: "If you want to beat someone, you have to explain that you want to beat again, what does this 'knife carry' mean?" ”
At this tense moment, Lin Yuan asked such an inconsequential question, which made the old bustard and the thug puzzled, and the old bustard angrily said to the three thugs: "What are you doing beating that little slut?" Don't give me this little white face yet. ”
Only then did the three thugs slowly surround Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan saw that the three thugs did not have the courage to step forward to beat him, and said with a smile: "Even if you know each other, if you dare to rush over, you will die." ”
The old bustard was not angry when he saw the three thugs, and he was so angry in his heart! But she didn't dare to come up to fight Lin Yuan in person, so she had to squeeze out a smile and said, "This master, coming out to play is just to have fun, why bother?" ”
Lin Yuan pulled over a chair with a big grin, sat on it, and said with a smile: "Do you know who I am?" ”
In ancient times, if a person with a low status dared to pretend to be a person with a high status, he might have to lose his head, so few people dared to pretend, and when the old bustard saw Lin Yuan say this, he was full of confidence, and he was also suspicious in his heart, thinking: "Could it be that this person really has some big deals?" ”
Lin Yuan saw that the old bustard did not answer, so he pointed casually and pointed to a thug and said, "You go and find the catchers on the street, and when they come, they will naturally know who I am." ”
That thug is also really interesting, hearing Lin Yuan's words, he obediently went out to find a catch, Lin Yuan stood up, helped the girl on the ground up, and asked, "What does 'carrying a knife' mean?" ”
The girl's cheeks were crimson, and she whispered: "No guest chooses me, if my mother is angry with a sister who has many guests, she will take out her anger on me, and she will beat and scold, and when my mother is angry, the other sisters will not be scolded and scolded, so I am the one who carries the knife." ”
Lin Yuan took a closer look at this girl, she looked ordinary, and it was not strange that no guests chose her, Lin Yuan asked, "What's your name?" How long have you been here? ”
The girl said, "My name is Ping'er, and I've been here for a year. ”
Lin Yuan saw that she was not very old, maybe fifteen or sixteen years old, so he asked, "How did you get here?" ”
As soon as she mentioned this, Ping'er cried and said: "I grew up by the sea, and there are three older brothers at home, all of whom make a living from fishing, and my life is okay, but that year, my father took my three brothers to sea, but I never came back, my mother committed suicide, and I was left alone, and I had nowhere to go. ”
Lin Yuan smiled: "I really want you to work, are you willing to go?" ”
Ping'er asked in fear, "Will you be beaten up a lot there?" ”
Lin Yuan said: "Didn't I say everything, there are no beatings there, and," Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at the twenty or so girls opposite, and said, "We work there and pay the salary, are you happy to go?" ”
In ancient brothels, beating and scolding prostitutes was a common thing, Lin Yuan said that no one would be beaten, which made them all moved, but because of the old bustard's prestige, no one dared to stand up.
At this moment, a big-bellied fast catcher leader, led a few fast catchers, walked into the door, and said angrily: "Who dares to make trouble here!" ”
The old bustard pointed at Lin Yuan and said, "It's him!" ”
He looked at Lin Yuan for a while and said, "Who are you?" How come I don't know you? ”
A few thugs on the side came to their senses, and they all pointed at Lin Yuan and scolded angrily: "You don't know whether you live or die, didn't you say that you will know who you are when the catch is coming?" ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "What I said is that if you come to catch fast, you can know who I am, and I didn't say that you can know me, the reason why I called me fast is that they asked them to go to their heads, and if they are looking for a bigger official position, they may not recognize me if they are smaller!" ”
In ancient times, officials and officials were completely different, officials were regular cadres recognized by the state, and officials were temporary workers who worked for officials, although these officials had no grade, but they also held power in their hands, and they were powerful in front of the people, how could anyone have spoken to them like Lin Yuan!
The leader of the fast catcher, "Qiang Chang", pulled out his knife and ordered the crowd: "What a bad man, lock me up!" ”
At this moment, a man dressed as a family member came in and said loudly, "Don't be rude." Then the man walked up to Lin Yuan, bowed down, and said, "Lord Lin, the slave didn't tell the old bustard the news in time, and it caused trouble to the adult." ”
The family walked up to the catcher and said, "The slave of the dog envoy is blind, this is Lord Lin!" Then he said to everyone: "From now on, you will all be under the control of Lord Lin, if he tells you to live, you will live, and if he makes you die, you will not even have bones left!" ”
After saying that, this family-like person walked away, leaving the old bustard and the catchers standing on the spot, trembling, Lin Yuan felt strange, this person looked like he was just a family, how could he have such a great majesty?
What Lin Yuan didn't know was that this family member was the housekeeper of Sun Yuwen's family, and he had a lot of activities outside on weekdays, so he knew him quickly.
Lin Yuan asked the bustard: "You go and bring all the girls' deeds of sale." ”
The old bustard didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out all the documents, and Lin Yuan ordered again: "Bring the brazier and light the fire." ”
When the flames rose in the brazier, Lin Yuan threw the paperwork in it one by one, he looked at everyone and said, "If you want to go home, I will pay you for the journey; Anyone who wants to work with me is welcome; If you want to stay here, I'm not reluctant. ”
All the girls have suffered a lot from the bustards and thugs, no one wants to stay, Lin Yuan went to the rest of the brothels, most of the women there are unwilling to continue to work, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "The problem of recruitment is solved." ”
When Lin Yuan returned home, Guan'er looked sad and said, "Sister Yugu is reluctant to come to our house, and besides, she also said that you are not a good person!" ”
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I haven't offended her, why does she want to say this about herself?" ”
