Chapter 208: The Rich Merchant's Son

The meals in the back mountain kitchen are not as good as the craftsmanship of the big master's small kitchen, but fortunately, the portion is enough.

White rice, roast chicken, roasted wild boar leg and a variety of bacon with a few vegetables.

Shutong is not a picky eater, just manage enough.

She ate a table of meals alone, and the second boss was annoyed that Scareye was always brushing his presence in front of the female king, and proposed that his food had been given out, and there was no need to eat, leaving him to serve the female king.

The second master waited for others to go down to eat, Scareye could only swallow saliva, watch the female king eat happily, and honestly serve tea and water.

Watching the female king eat big, his little swallowing saliva shocked the female king's appetite is too big, where did all the things that such a small body eat go?

I can only pour tea into my stomach from time to time, and then talk about mixing water to be full.

When Shutong was full of food and drink, the second master brought fruit snacks after the meal.

"Female king, taste it, these are all fruits of our mountains."

Shu Tong felt more and more that the second master was an interesting person, and he was more intimate than the two girls serving.

Touching the fruit and nibbling on it, "Did the man eat it?" ”

The second master smiled: "It's finished early!" It's closed! ”

After nibbling on two fruits, Shutong yawned, "Find a place, I want to take a nap and play with him when I get up!" ”

Scar-Eye hurriedly found the best room, arranged for the two bandit girls to change the clean bedding, and let the female king take a nap.

The second boss deliberately left someone to guard the door, so that Scarlet Eye went to investigate which one was the master of that person? What exactly is the origin?

It didn't take long for the information to be sent to the second master, and he looked at it over and over again and sneered.

"The son of a wealthy merchant in Jiangnan! Rushing to Beijing to take the exam? Go and bring that boy to me! ”

Scar-Eye didn't get to eat, he was quietly touching the steamed bun and nibbling it, nodding and saying, "Second master!" I've seen that man a long time ago, and the thin skin and tender meat are indeed a reader. ”

The second master sneered, "The scholar will bring eight of his subordinates into the capital!" ”

Scar-Eye disagreed, "What's this, Jiangnan is very rich, and it's normal for the sons of rich families to hire a few more guards in Beijing!" ”

The second master smiled: "The little dwarf just now, I don't look like an ordinary guard, I don't believe you didn't see it at all." ”

Scar-Eye was stunned, remembering that the Sixth Master of the Dead Ghost had also been a little suspicious of that person's identity, so he paid attention to it.

"The sixth master once reminded me, and I also sent someone to Jiangnan to inform their family to send a ransom, but the news has been spread for a month, and I haven't seen anyone come to ransom. I'm still wondering, that guy brought a lot of property, and so many subordinates, it stands to reason that he should be very valued by the family, why are people scared of our cottage? Still unwilling to redeem people? ”

The second master pouted and said, "Didn't you ask?" ”

Scar-Eye smiled and said, "Isn't this the sixth master?" I haven't had time to ask! ”

"Alright, you bring him and his men!"

Soon, a skinny scholar was pushed and shoved in front of the second master.

The second master looks at this person in his early twenties, although his face is yellow, hungry and thin, he still looks like a little white face.

Looking at the subordinates around him, they are also yellow and thin, but they all have fierce eyes and don't look like good people.

"I said little white face, what's your name?" The second master sat on the top seat and shouted lazily.

The little white face may have been tortured, and sighed weakly: "At the banquet of the king!" ”

"Surnamed Wang, tell me who you are?" Second, the master is still in a lofty posture.

The little white face called Wang Yan didn't care, there were a few young men standing behind him but they looked angry, but unfortunately they were all handcuffed, and they were hungry every day, and they had no power to do anything, so they could only stare at the second master with hungry wolf-like eyes.

That Wang Yan bowed his head and said: "I am a scholar below, and I have a small asset in my family, and I am preparing to have a future in Beijing this time!" ”

After saying that, he paused and pleaded: "Great King! All your possessions have been taken away from you, please let us go! ”

"Master!" Several subordinates screamed at the same time, their voices desolate and angry.

One of them, who was in his early forties and looked like a butler, rushed out and knelt down at the second master.

"King! I beg you to let my master go, and we are willing to stay and work. ”

The other subordinates turned their faces away, as if they couldn't bear to look at them directly.

The second master still looks lazy, "I can't see that you are a master and servant!" Where do you say that the son of a petty merchant family has the charm to gain the loyalty of these servants? ”

Scar-Eye frowned when he heard this, he had always guessed that these people were hired by Little White Face.

But now, they have all fallen into their own cottages, and there is no need to be loyal to this guy anymore! There's something wrong with this person!

Wang Yan was expressionless, and said: "These people have inherited the favor of their father, so they have this affection for me, we are nominally master and servant, but in my heart, they are all my brothers!" ”

"If the king is willing to let us go, he is willing to give a thousand gold to thank you!"

The second master sneered: "Let you go? When am I a fool? ”

His fingers tapped on the tabletop with a clanging sound.

"According to the address you said, the news has been sent to Jiangnan, but it's been a month, and I haven't seen anyone come to ransom you! It seems that you are giving false news, tell me the truth, who are you? ”

The little white-faced Wang Yan's face sank, and several of his subordinates also looked at each other, why didn't anyone come to save him? Could it be that something has changed out there?

The second master stared at them for a long time, and sure enough, he noticed that these people's expressions were different, and he slapped the table and shouted, "Don't give me sloppy eyes." Honestly tell your true identity, make the master angry, and directly give you white knives in and red knives out, and let you stay in the cottage as fertilizer. ”

These people were caught in the cottage, and they were not convinced at first, thinking that with their own skills, how could they escape from this bandit's den!

Unexpectedly, the thieves did not play their cards according to common sense, starved them for three days first, and waited until everyone was dizzy and had no strength.

And he put heavy anklets on them, and every day they worked in the fields with whipped beatings, and if anyone was slow to move, he was immediately whipped up.

At first, several of them protected their masters, but as a result, they were all subjected to the whips that hit the master, and tortured these masters with martial arts to be weaker than ordinary people.

Although they hate to death at this time, they also know that they have no chance of winning if they make a move.

They all wanted to be patient for the time being, recuperate and find an opportunity to fight back.

As a result, the thieves directly did not treat them as human beings, and only gave them a bowl of gruel a day.

The eight guards took the initiative to catch the rice grains in their bowls to their masters, and they drank a bowl of water a day to support them.

You can't die if you die, but if you continue to toss like this, you won't have a chance!

The middle-aged housekeeper hurriedly said, "King! Maybe something happened at home, so no one came for the time being. See if you can let one go with your brother and go to the house to get the ransom money. ”
