Chapter 53: Selling one's body and burying one's mother

"Good!" Ryujiu is crisp and neat.

"Shoot the moon, go, and compare yourself with him." Xia Jinse said with interest.

Only then did Ji Xiao understand that the girl next to his cousin could also do martial arts!

The two of them stood in the middle of the field, and the rest of them retreated, and a gust of wind rose on the flat ground, as if a chill was coming, and Shooting Moon and Long Jiu stood opposite each other. One is a tall and strong man, and the other is a petite woman, which seems to be an unfair competition.

With a coquettish shout, the moon shot out.

The figure was like the wind, shooting the moon and bullying him, and he quickly hit Long Jiu with a punch.

Ryujiu stood still, motionless, until the fist that shot the moon was only an inch away from his face, and he flashed his head sideways, easily dodging it.

Shooting Moon snorted lightly, and the punch turned into a palm wind, and it was withdrawn like lightning.

With such a change of move, even Xia Jinse didn't see it clearly, only Ji Xiao and Chaiyun understood, and shouted "good", as if they were cheering for the moon.

Long Jiu finally moved, like thunder, just a protective action, which made Shooting Moon's eyes shrink. Before she could dodge, Long Jiu's thunderbolt method was like a torrential rain, hitting endlessly.

The clappling hand, only the afterimage was left, Xia Jinse was stunned, not only amazed by the skill of shooting the moon, but also shocked by Long Jiu's martial arts.

Although Shooting the Moon is a woman, it was carefully trained by Lan Beichen, and Long Jiu is just a nursery, so he can resist the attack of Shooting Moon?!

No, it's not resisting, Long Jiu didn't attack at all, he was just defending.

Even so, Shooting Moon was no longer able to attack him, and no matter how fast she moved, Long Jiu was at ease, as if an adult was fighting against a child, and the disparity was huge.

"Sister Shooting Moon can't beat him!" Chasing Yun exclaimed, his eyes and mouth wide open.

"Good kung fu!" Ji Xiao's eyes were hot, and he couldn't wait to rush up and have a fight with the two of them.

Suddenly, the moon-shooting hand was like lightning, his body was like a phantom, and he pointed his sword at Long Jiu's throat. At the same time, Long Jiu's eyes finally changed, and his hands opened and closed widely, bringing out an amazing fist wind, which struck out with a bang.

"Ahh Shooting Moon screamed, and the hand that had rushed to Long Jiu's throat quickly retracted and protected it in front of his chest. A harrier turned over, she jumped back to Xia Jinse's side, and said loudly: "Miss, he is a hooligan!" ”

Only then did Long Jiu react, if his fists were struck, the middle of it would be the opponent's chest.

If it is a life-and-death duel, the enemy fights, naturally no one will care about this, but now it is just a competition, and the other party is still a girl, so his move is inferior.

"......" Long Jiu suddenly blushed and stood on the spot, but he didn't say a word.

Boss Wei was shocked when he saw it, but he didn't expect this person to be a master, and quickly explained: "I'm sorry, Long Jiu didn't mean it." Miss Xia, this girl, I'm sorry. ”

Xia Jinse looked at the shooting moon, she nodded, indicating that she was fine, and Xia Jinse was relieved.

"Boss Wei, he's very good, I want it, what's the price?"

Originally, Xia Jinse only wanted to buy two subordinates, but she didn't expect to find a talent like Long Jiu, so she didn't want to miss it. I have always felt that there are not enough manpower, especially those who are capable and loyal, Long Jiu is not only strong in martial arts, but also sold himself because of the burial of his mother, at least it can be seen that filial piety can be seen.

As long as the price is right and a little more expensive, Xia Jinse doesn't mind.

Boss Wei didn't say the price, but actually looked at Long Jiu, as if he was asking him to make his own offer.

Long Jiu frowned, and was silent for a long time before he gestured a finger.

Boss Wei was overjoyed: "Miss Xia, one or two silver." He said that a tael of silver would be sufficient...... "Before he finished speaking, he felt a chill all over his body, and he only felt that his hairs stood on end.

A murderous aura is coming!

Long Jiu's face was gloomy, he was only worth a tael of silver?!

Ji Xiao understood what Long Jiu meant, and took the initiative to step forward and said with a smile: "Although Brother Long sold himself to bury his mother, this martial arts alone is more than one or two pieces of silver. What do you mean...... "He also took out a finger and asked tentatively, "What do you mean by ten taels of silver?" ”

Long Jiu's face sank again, he was so worthless?

According to his identity, it is already commendable to condescend to protect this eldest lady of the Xia family. There will always be only one master, that is, the master above the tens of thousands of people in the Daqing Dynasty, if it weren't for the master to speak, he would not have intersected with the daughter of a prime minister at all.

"Is it a hundred taels?" Now, even Ji Xiao felt that it was impossible.

Coincidentally, Long Jiu nodded, and with a sigh, he confirmed his super high worth of one hundred and two days.

Xia Jinse was disappointed, she valued Long Jiu's martial arts again, but she wouldn't take out a hundred taels. What's more, she doesn't have it at all, and it can't be if she has!

Shooting Moon pursed her lips and snorted lightly: "Miss, a mere nursing home, it actually costs a hundred taels of silver, does he think he is made of gold?" ”

She was still annoyed that he almost attacked her, she had never been so ashamed, and she was upset.

But Shooting Moon didn't really feel that she couldn't beat Long Jiu, and her most powerful secret weapon hadn't been shot yet!

"Long Jiu, your martial arts are indeed good, but one hundred taels is too high, sorry." After speaking, Xia Jinse shook his head regretfully and said to Boss Wei: "I'm sorry to delay Boss Wei's time, let's go first." ”

Listening to Boss Wei's smiling voice, Long Jiu was dumbfounded.

He was just abandoned?

It's just a hundred taels, and she can't even take it out? Tiffy stingy!

But he was ordered by the emperor and the ninth prince that he had to sell himself to Xia Jinse, and Zhengda Guangming stayed by her side! If he doesn't succeed, he won't be able to go back to the palace, do you want him to live on the streets, or really stay in the Huimin Bureau, and sell his body for burial...... the fart!

"Wait...... Wait a minute! ”

A voice sounded from behind, Xia Jinse stopped and turned around, looking at Long Jiu: "You...... Call me? ”

Long Jiu grimaced and nodded.

Ji Xiao often deals with people, and he has seen a lot of various bitter masters. Those who want to stop talking, those who are meaningful, those who are unspeakable, and those who are deliberately concealed...... He could understand everything, and he understood what Long Jiu meant at once.

"The price is negotiable, right?"

Ji Xiao said, and simply patted Long Jiu's shoulder: "Brother Long, it is indeed touching that you sold yourself to bury your mother, and your filial piety is commendable, so let's do it, I am also familiar with Boss Lin of the paper shop in front, and let him take a pine coffin for you at eight folds, as long as two taels of silver......"

Ryujiu: "......"

Is he here to buy a coffin?

Ji Xiao talked endlessly, from the coffin to the shroud, the incense, candles, paper money, etc., including the construction of the mourning hall, and the monks of Famen Temple were overdue. If you don't like it, the Taoist priest of Longhuguan can also do it, he is very familiar with it.

"Enough...... Finish! Long Jiu's face was dark, and his intestines were blue with remorse.

If it weren't for the Nine Princes who said that he couldn't attract attention, he had to quietly follow Miss Xia to protect him, so that he wouldn't make excuses, and he would have found an unfortunate excuse to sell himself and bury his mother!

Long Jiu stiffened his hand and came out again.

Xia Jinse blinked: "It's not a hundred taels this time, right?" Ten taels? ”

Long Jiu just wanted to nod, but Xia Jinse sighed: "Ten taels is also expensive, I'm sorry, I won't buy it." "She regrets it, why she has no money, why did she fight last time. The landlord will lose, why is Lan Beichen so cunning......

Seeing that Xia Jinse was about to leave again, Long Jiutou shook like a rattle.

He endures!

As long as he can sell it, he will admit as much as he wants!

"One tael, miss, he said one tael!" Sheyue stuck in her waist and said directly: "A nursing home, how much more do you want, my young lady is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can follow our young lady, you are blessed." ”

Xia Jinse is not sure, such a master, he sold himself in one or two? Fake, right?

It wasn't until Long Jiu really nodded, although his movements were a little stiff and his face twitched a little, but he didn't deny it, that Xia Jinse was sure that he only spent one or two silver to buy a super master as a guard.

"Long Jiu, this contract is complete, it can't be reversed, have you thought clearly?" At this time, even Boss Wei repeatedly confirmed, for fear that if Long Jiu repented and ruined his reputation for benefiting the people.

Soon, both parties signed and stamped their handprints, Xia Jinse took out a tael of silver and gave it to Long Jiu, and paid Boss Wei's handling fee, so he carefully collected this precious deed of sale, and returned with a full load.

Seeing Ji Xiao and the others go out, Boss Wei sighed with emotion, he couldn't imagine that he had been in business for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen such a rare thing.

Out of the Huimin Bureau, Xia Jinse asked Long Jiu if he wanted to deal with his mother's funeral first, and Long Jiu shook his head directly.

"It's okay, you go and take care of your own business first, and when it's dealt with, just come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find me." Xia Jinse is very generous and understanding, since Long Jiu's deed of sale is in her hands, she will not cheat a tael of silver and run away.

Long Jiu still shook his head.

"And when are you going to go to the burial hall?"

“…… Late...... Above. His face darkened again.

Let's go! Since he said it was good, Xia Jinse didn't persuade much, after all, it was his private matter.

Although she felt that Long Jiu was a little untalkative, since she was a guard, it was better to be silent than to have a big mouth, and she was quite satisfied. As for the exact character, this will have to be observed slowly.

The group was walking, Xia Jinse had a hard time going out, and suddenly remembered the rudder of the Soul Chasing Building seized by Ji Xiao last time, one was the Jixiang Gambling House, which had been sealed, but what about the other Tanchun Building?

She was about to ask Ji Xiao about the situation, when suddenly there was a commotion in front of her, and a person jumped down from the roof of a shop, rushed into the crowd, and screamed, and everyone scattered to avoid it.

"Stop! Don't let him run! ”

A group of officials from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division chased after him, shouting loudly: "Don't let this person go, he is a butterfly boy, notorious, everyone catch him!" ”

When the passers-by heard this, instead of stopping them, they cheered and hid on the side of the street one by one. This butterfly boy is the number one robber on the wanted list, not only kills people and crosses goods, but also commits crimes, and the most hateful thing is a flower thief!

On the street, the women carrying vegetable baskets, the little daughters-in-law shopping, and the peasant girls selling vegetables suddenly screamed one by one and avoided one after another. I was afraid that I would be targeted by the butterfly boy, and I would suffer at night.

Xia Jinse and the others stood on the side of the road, and they saw a young man in a power suit with a white face rushing towards them.

"Get out of the way!" The young man let out a loud shout, and his figure was like flying.
