Chapter 182
The round ball man led Yun Zhonglong and the others, behind him was Ah Xiu and her grandfather who had to follow, and then those domestic servants, and the group came to a very luxurious mansion compound, of course, this is only relative to the thatched house, compared with the architecture of modern society, the only advantage is that the entire courtyard covers an area of several acres.
The red gate was written with the four big characters of 'Kang's Compound', and a gatekeeper at the door saw the ball, bent down and said respectfully: "Young Master, you are back!" ”
Yuanqiu rarely made a gesture of inviting the dragon in the clouds, but what he was thinking about was how to slaughter such a fat sheep sent to the door, so his appearance was extremely funny, which caused Xia He Dongmei to laugh again and again, but they had seen it with their own eyes and deeply experienced the power of the dragon in the clouds, and with him by his side, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Yun Zhonglong grabbed Lu Mengxue's slender hand behind him and strode in.
Yuanqiu walked into the courtyard of his house, led everyone to the hall, he was in the main seat, very condescendingly looked at the dragon and a few girls in front of him, and smiled heartily: "This should be a more suitable place, you can rest assured to make a price!" His eyes looked at Lu Mengxue and the girls unscrupulously.
Yun Zhonglong didn't pay attention to him, turned to Ah Xiu and her grandfather, who were far behind him, and said, "Uncle, how much silver taels do you owe them, and we will settle it together today." ”
The old man was stunned, he really couldn't figure out who he was, let alone what he wanted to do, but he still responded: "Back to this master's words, accumulated over the years, plus interest, it is almost ten taels of silver." According to the price at that time, with the living standards of him and Ah Xiu, ten taels of silver was enough for the two of them to eat for five or six years.
Yuanqiu waved his big hand, and an old man with a long beard beside him, holding a piece of wood, said: "The master recorded it clearly, it was obviously sixteen taels and forty-five dollars, how could it become ten taels?" ”
When Ah Xiu heard this, he hurriedly said: "I remember very clearly, all the principal plus interest, is only thirteen taels and twenty-seven yuan." ”
When Yuanqiu saw her talking, he smiled and hooked his hand at the old man who seemed to be a housekeeper, motioned him over, and when he walked to the side, he slammed his head out and scolded: "Useless waste, you won't even settle an account, what do you say our Kang family raised you to do, get out, don't let the uncle see you again, otherwise you will be better off than dead." "Poor Mr. Tent, who has been saddle up for Kang's saddle, just because the ball was unhappy for a while, he ended up swept out of the house. Although Yuanqiu is attacking his own family's subordinates, his intention is obvious, that is, to kill the chicken to show the monkey, to remind the dragon in the clouds on the side, everything is in moderation, don't get an inch, so that talking about the price, in order to say that it is undoubtedly much more beneficial to him.
Yun Zhonglong didn't have the heart to watch his lame performance, and said leisurely: "I said that Ah Xiu's account is on me, in this case, Young Master Kang, it is better to fold away the fraction, even if it is twenty taels of silver, how about it?" ”
When Yuanqiu heard this, he thought that the other party was as expected, and smiled happily: "Very good, very good, as it should be!" ”
Ah Xiu looked at Yun Zhonglong in front of her blankly, she really couldn't figure out if he had taken all his debts and paid off his debts for himself, whether he had other plans to snatch himself from the hands of this fat man; If he really coveted beauty, then why did he sell Lu Mengxue, who was more beautiful than himself, to the fat man.
Yun Zhonglong didn't have time to waste time with him, and said, "Ah Xiu's account has been settled, you can make a price yourself." ”
Yuanqiu's little eyes turned around, and then slowly pointed at Lu Mengxue and said, "Since Brother Tai is so generous, then I can buy her for ten taels." He pointed to the Xia He Dongmei sisters behind him, and said: "I think they should be maids, and they look very well-behaved, but they are too young, and I just want to take a concubine, and there are two girls waiting for them, one is five taels, it is also ten taels, and one is twenty taels of silver, what do you think?" ”
Yun Zhonglong smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, in this way, the account has been settled, Ah Xiu, you don't have to pay off their debts anymore, let's go, look at him like this, he won't leave us to eat." ”
A Xiuqiao smiled reluctantly, but for the sake of her own debts, she really wanted to involve Lu Mengxue's three daughters to follow this fat pig-like creditor, although she no longer had to worry about debts, but she couldn't be happy. Tortured in his heart, he suddenly stepped forward and said, "You are not a good person, I don't want you to take care of my affairs." ”
Yuanqiu walked down from the main seat and said with a smile: "The deal has been negotiated, and you can't agree to it." As he spoke, he wanted to step forward and pull Lu Mengxue in the clouds.
Xia He saw that Gongzi was about to fall into the hands of others, so he flew up with a kick in his eagerness, and scolded: "Dead pig, you dare to be rude to Gongzi!" ”
In a hurry, she kicked the ball with all her strength, fell to the ground on her back, let out a ghostly wolf howl, her fat and short legs were bent closely, and she was hunched, and her short hands covered the sore spots. He shouted in extreme pain: "You stinky girl, you are so bold, come here, what are you waiting for, take them down!" ”
There were more than a dozen strong domestic servants who pounced on Yun Zhonglong and the others like wolves.
Where would the dragon in the cloud let them get close to themselves and others, a little luck, a mistake in both palms, and another point, those servants all fell far away, and fell to the ground one by one and did not wake up.
Yuanqiu was shocked by the scene in front of him, but how powerful the dragon in the cloud was martial arts, how could he see it, and thought that something had happened. The spiritual servant helped him aside, and finally felt a little relieved, and forcibly endured the tingling sensation of an awl in his lower body, and shouted: "Close the door, let the dog go!" ”
Soon, more than 20 fat and strong dogs pounced on the dragon in the clouds.
Yun Zhonglong saw that he didn't seem to be alert, and he was amused for a while, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and when those dogs pounced on him, he suddenly pulled out his sword and unsheathed it, and the flying cloud sword behind his back was raised, which was the 'sword qi frost'.
For a while, the sword qi in the hall was vertical and horizontal, and the cold air was pressing.
Before everyone present could understand what was going on, they saw that the dog that had just come alive was now a blur of flesh and blood, torn into pieces, and the hall was in a mess, and the air was filled with blood mist. It's just strange that in the middle of the hall, where Yun Zhonglong and the others are standing, there is no dust, and there is no trace of blood.
Yuanqiu stared at the tragic scene in front of him in amazement, and fell to the ground, his body and face covered in blood.
Yun Zhonglong had already put his sword back in the sheath, his movements were so fast that most of the people didn't know that it was his hand, only Lu Mengxue knew how powerful he was, so he naturally understood what was going on.
He didn't want to take care of too much, but this thing was too much, and if he didn't teach him a lesson, he really couldn't stand the people who were bullied by him, and said from afar: "Young Master Kang, how should this account be calculated?" ”
It took a long time for Yuanqiu to wake up from the shock, and he said sneeringly: "Account, what account, didn't it have been settled just now?" ”
Yun Zhonglong saw that he looked like he didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin, his palm was raised, his hands were very measured, and he was injured but not dead, even if he wanted to faint, it was impossible, so he deliberately made him suffer a little.
The ball flew in response, and its huge body fell straight out of the distance, lying in the door like a mess of mud, and a heart-rending howl came out of its mouth.
Yun Zhonglong pointed to the dead servants and dead dogs on the ground, and said: "As Young Master Kang just said, one person is counted as five taels, there are twelve people on the ground in your house, there are eleven people standing, twenty-seven dogs, together it is two hundred and fifty taels, plus you are also two hundred and five." Therefore, you owe me five hundred taels of silver now, and give me a whole number, and it will be one thousand taels. ”
After the ball was knocked away by him, he realized that it was this seemingly weak person, who was actually a great killing god, and said in horror and puzzlement: "How did you calculate this account, why did my people give you silver instead?" ”
Yun Zhonglong said coldly: "Killing you is like taking the life of a dog, do you dare to say that your life is still yours?" ”
Yuanqiu looked at the miserable dead dog, and also knew that the lives of everyone here were in the hands of the other party, where did they dare to resist, as long as they didn't hurt themselves, everything else would naturally obey their words.
Yun Zhonglong led Lu Mengxue's three daughters and the eye-opening old man A Xiu's grandson out of the Kang family compound, and when he left, he did not forget to bring the huge amount of money blackmailed from the round ball, which was full of 1,000 taels of silver, and it was inevitable that he would be burdensome with 100 silver for 1 gold, so he exchanged all of them for ten yellow and clear gold ingots at the ratio of 100 silver for 1 gold. Fortunately, the Kang family is a well-known big slave owner, with thousands of slaves in his family, and the amount squeezed from them every year is far more than this number, otherwise such a huge amount of money, for a while, no one can really take it.
Yuanqiu originally thought that this time he could get the beauty of the country's natural fragrance, slaughtering a fat pig sent to the door, but he didn't know that he kicked the iron plate, not only did he not catch it, but he also lost a lot of wealth in vain, and was slaughtered as a pig.
When Lu Mengxue and the three daughters talked about the funny appearance of Yuanqiu when they handed over the gold ingot, they all laughed happily. They couldn't be more aware of the dragon's methods, and they were very happy to see him play tricks on the wicked.
However, Ah Xiu and the old man are honest and honest on weekdays, and they keep to themselves, where have they ever seen such a bloody and violent scene, for a while, they only promised, they followed behind, and they didn't dare to say anything.
Yun Zhonglong saw that he had walked to the edge of the village, so he stopped and said to the old man: "Uncle, thank you for not giving up, there are two ingots of gold here, you can take them to live a good life!" As he spoke, he took out two ingots of gold and handed them over.
Where did the old man dare to answer, he hurriedly shook his hand and said: "This master, don't laugh with the old man anymore!" ”
Yun Zhonglong saw that he refused to accept it, and turned to Ah Xiu on the side: "Now that your debts are gone, take the gold and go to live a happy life with your grandfather." ”
Ah Xiu shook his head and said that he would not accept the gold at all.
Yun Zhonglong thought for a while and said, "Are you afraid that Young Master Kang will come to you again to settle accounts?" ”
When Lu Mengxue heard this, she interjected: "Brother Ripple, maybe after we leave, the fat pig is afraid that he will not let them go, and it is very likely that it will be even worse against them." ”
Suddenly, the old man knelt down and begged: "This lord, the old man knows that you are not an ordinary person, so he will do good things to the end, Ah Xiu, this girl has a hard life, she has grown so big, and she has never enjoyed happiness, but she is also quite clever, so let her follow you as a slave and a maid, it is better than waiting for death here!" ”
Yun Zhonglong hurriedly helped him up, and couldn't help but say: "Uncle, you don't have to worry, you have gold, you can go to other places to find another way out, and you are afraid of what they will do." ”
The old man said with tears in his eyes: "You don't know this master, now the war is in chaos, the old man has a girl, even if no one thinks about us, but how difficult it is to find a place to live." ”
Yun Zhonglong only then knew that now is the Spring and Autumn Troubled Times, but it is not a peaceful and prosperous era, if there is no certain ability to protect himself, I am afraid that it is easy to be precarious, and maybe he will die at any time.
Dongmei saw that the old man was pitiful, so she quietly pulled Lu Mengxue's long sleeves and said softly: "Son, you see that they are so pitiful, why don't you talk to him and take them on the road together." ”
Lu Mengxue thought about it, and she didn't know when she would be able to see her father who used to see her every day in the future, and her heart was sour, and she said, "Brother Lianyi, do you think you can let them go on the road together?" ”
Yun Zhonglong knew that taking them on the road would naturally cause a lot of inconvenience, but now, it had to be like this. It is true that no matter how powerful he is, if he cannot change the entire social system and make the transition from a slave society to a feudal society, or even a communist society, then the reality of oppression and oppression will never be able to change. Now that they have been pulled in, we can no longer watch them be swallowed up by reality.
Yun Zhonglong and his party never returned to the village, and for those who had nothing to do with themselves, they really had no intention of seeing that ugly face again, and the few people who fell into the well did not have the time or heart to think about so much at this moment. In this great country, there has never been a shortage of people before, now, and in the future, and this stubborn disease of human nature will continue to exist as long as there are people alive.
The six of them traveled westward, the road became wider and wider, and the number of passers-by gradually increased.
Fortunately, he had blackmailed ten ingots of gold from Yuanqiu, so Yun Zhonglong had enough money to use, and first found a carriage to facilitate the journey, and also saved the girls from showing their heads everywhere; I bought a lot of gorgeous clothes for myself and Lu Mengxue's three daughters to change and wash, and also prepared two sets for the old man and Ah Xiu, and when I saw that it was not early, I invested in an inn and asked for three upper rooms, one for the old man, one for Yunzhonglong, and one for the four daughters to live in a big house.
The old man couldn't refuse, so he had to live in the room, he couldn't dream that he could live in such a comfortable and clean house in his life, and eat such exquisite meals, so happy that he was as happy as eating honey, and the whole person was sweet.
