Chapter 111: The road is uneven
Su Ta saw that Su Jiao was still unhappy to pay attention to herself, and still played with the mask in her hand, and also came to her side. "I heard that Mrs. Xiao was born in the Su family, and she may be from the same clan as Zaixia many years ago."
I don't care if I am from the same clan as you, the corners of Su Jiao's mouth twitched, and she walked away from the side with more and more disgust, and in order to be able to leave here as soon as possible, she took a cloisonné gold-painted step shake in her hand.
"That's it, I think it fits my complexion, Huai'an, what do you think?" Su Jiao said, just taking advantage of this small step to the other side of Xiao Huai'an, and Diecui also followed.
"It looks really good," Xiao Huai'an glanced at it, nodded, and took the step, "You are not surnamed Su, why bother to climb this relative, or quickly wrap this hairpin to do business, and we will go back earlier." ”
"Oh, this, I'm afraid it won't work." Su Ta had a smile on his face, and he blocked Xiao Huai'an with a light word, he glanced down, and what he didn't want was to refuse.
"What's wrong?" As soon as these words came out, Xiao Huai'an immediately frowned, looking very displeased, Su Jiao helped to ask, and as soon as Su Ta saw it, she put her head back again.
"Mrs. Xiao doesn't know, this step shake is a burial item dug up from the Xitu Mausoleum, and it is hung out below, that is, in order to make more money, but how can it be good to deceive Lord Xiao and Mrs., Mrs. might as well change it."
Su Ta rubbed his hands and shook his head, looking embarrassed, but Xiao Huai'an stuffed this step into his hand without saying a word.
"Hugh has to say more, since Madame has taken a fancy to this one, you just need to wrap it up, how about going back, you don't need to bother more."
When the words landed, Su Jiao saw that Su Ta was still a little hesitant, and wanted to find other excuses, but she couldn't help but think of Xiao Huai'an's instructions before entering the door, so she also firmly echoed beside her.
"What Huai'an said is that even if I bring it back, I don't wear it on my head, and it's not bad to put it there as a decoration, then there will be a son of Laosuta."
Suta took a breath, and seeing that both of them were so sure, she had no choice but to shake her head and take a piece of red cloth and wrap it casually.
"Okay, a total of one hundred and fifty taels, I don't know if Lord Xiao is giving a silver ticket or cash?"
Hearing this, Su Jiao almost laughed, seeing that she and Xiao Huai'an came over like this, how could they bring one hundred and fifty taels of silver.
Xiao Huai'an also thought so, and opened his empty right hand, "It's rare to come here today, I never thought that the people here would set such a harsh price, it was a report to Your Majesty, and I don't know how many people I have to send over to wash it." ”
As the last word fell, Suta slapped him on the table in a sullen manner. "Lord Xiao is so entangled, he even refuses to give up this trivial silver, if he comes here often, he will definitely not do business with adults anymore."
It turns out that there is this kind of transaction, and he is quite good at running a family, so in this way, he will not have to spend so much money to buy jewelry or something in the future.
Looking at the disgusted and painful expression on Su Ta's face, Su Jiao felt a burst of joy in her heart for no reason.
"Thank you." Xiao Huai'an pursed his lips and smiled faintly, and immediately took his things and took Su Jiao out of the house.
"If it's really as you said, then this person really doesn't necessarily have to do many bad things later, let him also experience such a painful feeling, at least he can be regarded as avenging those innocent people."
After coming out for a long time, Su Jiao slapped one hand in her palm, with a gloating look on her face. The son was quick at that time, and the step that he agreed to come down to, even if she guessed that it should be nothing, she was more or less estranged in her heart, so she kept letting Xiao Huai'an hold it, and she really didn't dare to touch it easily.
"He has done a lot of evil deeds, but those who deserve it, as you say, may not." As a big man, he has to walk down the street with women's jewelry, even if he is not a person in the eyes of others, but he knows it very well in his own heart.
Saying that, Xiao Huai'an saw that Su Jiao didn't propose to wear it for a long time, so he handed the step shake to Diecui in the back.
"Although this shape of the step is indeed Western, but it does not meet the funeral requirements of the mausoleum, Suta will say that, but he is reluctant to let it be too expensive, you don't have to because of his words, it is not easy to buy the jewelry you like but you don't plan to ask for it."
"Where, it's your intention, I won't be so ignorant, but the so-called wealth is not exposed, let's go home and talk about it." Su Jiao waved her hand, and the two of them happened to go to the back of the black market while talking, and the smell of food kept coming from all directions.
"But what do you mean by that, have you known this person for a long time?"
Xiao Huai'an in the original book is just a supporting role, so his friend can only be a supporting role in a supporting role, and Su Jiao naturally can't have heard of it.
"The scar on his body was accidentally burned because he was abused by his stepmother, and since then he has hated women, and he is also a little distorted psychologically, and he likes to wrap himself in feminine skin."
Xiao Huai'an had tried his best to speak more gently, but Su Jiao couldn't help but tremble slightly in her ears when she heard it. Isn't this the realistic version of the painted skin?
"Fortunately, after he took revenge, he seemed to have restrained himself a little and was hired to kill instead, but occasionally he still had the same behavior as before, and now he is quiet and does not take any action, but if a similar case happens again, I will definitely not have half pity for him because of his tragic past."
"This is natural, our Lord Xiao, but he is the most fair and upright person who is dedicated to His Majesty." Hearing this, Su Jiao was very face-saving, and nodded violently in agreement.
Although these words sound more like deliberate pandering and flattery, how to say that it is always comfortable in the ears, Xiao Huaian unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth, and very logically hugged Su Jiao's shoulder.
"Look at your reaction, but didn't eat it at noon today, there are a few places where the dim sum is good, do you want to try it?"
"You can eat the food here?" Su Jiao was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously blurted out, and she was afraid that someone from all over the world would hear it, so she paused deliberately.
"Naturally, otherwise do the people here really plan to stay hungry for four or five days?" Xiao Huai'an couldn't help laughing, took a look at the location here, and happened to see a restaurant with a row of roast ducks hanging over there, and before he could bring Su Jiao over, he saw a skinny little boy stumbling out of the alley behind the restaurant.
The little boy was followed by four or five big men, each with a stick as thick as a fist in his hand, and the little boy ran very hard, his mouth was stuffed, and he was still trying to chew, but the child's speed was always slower, and it didn't take long for the big men to catch up, and sticks and fists and feet fell on him.
"Oops." The little boy's body was thin and weak, and after such a beating, bruises were exposed everywhere on his body, and even blood was faintly oozing from his forehead.
Su Jiao saw that she couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly turned her head away, she also wanted to step forward to help shout to stop, but this place is special, if she comes out at will, she may get into some trouble, unless Xiao Huaian is willing to help.
"Stinky boy, I told you to steal food, you didn't even have any hair, you just want to eat the overlord meal, you want to mix here, you are still tender!"
The big men were beating and scolding, and the kid gradually couldn't struggle, Xiao Huaian wrung his brows, mainly to figure out what was going on, and when he heard this, he probably had a number in his heart, and he was about to step forward to pull Su Jiao.
Such a young child, if it is in modern times, even if it is just a baby of a civilian family, it should be a treasure in the hands of his parents, Su Jiao's eyes were full of distress and sympathy, and she gently tugged on Xiao Huai'an's sleeve.
"I know the situation here is special, and you shouldn't easily break the agreement with here, but this kid is too pitiful, can you think of a way?"
"Don't worry," Xiao Huai'an knew that she was also kind, and patted her palm so reassuringly, but before he went out, another person rushed to cut off his beard in front of him.
"Stop, this is just a teenager, why are you beating you so badly, how much does he owe you, I'll pay it for him."
Following the source of the voice, I saw a thin but tall man in a cyan robe walking slowly. As soon as they saw that it was this person, those strong men were still so fierce just now, and they really stopped obediently, and they didn't even speak with much rudeness.
"Mu Gongzi, it's not for anything else, the main thing is that this kid is too uneducated, and the people over there are still eating, so he rushed to the table, grabbed the chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, if he doesn't teach him a lesson, next time he comes over in such a daze, we can't explain to the people above."
People in the black market have always been above the top, unless they are people with a particularly noble status, that is, in some special professions, talents with outstanding abilities can be respected.
Thinking about it, Su Jiao was still immersed in the admiration that someone had rushed out so chivalrous and dared to stop, while Xiao Huaian quietly narrowed his eyes, and there was a little more doubt in his eyes when he looked at the comer.
At the back of the black market, there is a restaurant on the surface, but secretly it is a casino and human trafficking business.
Those who have been here for a long time will solve the problem of hunger in the restaurant here when they have a meal, and only when they have a meal can they get a quiet place.
In the alley of a restaurant in front of this roast duck restaurant, there was a man who looked very strange, and next to him was Inoue River, the second-in-command of the mission.
