Chapter 257: Changes in Gaofu
Removing the lock, Xiao Laodao gently pushed open the door, and the light of the torch shot into the door, and everyone took a look inside with the light, and the space inside was not large, only a few red lacquer boxes were placed. Xiao Laodao asked the ghost monkey to guard the door, and he took my grandfather and Xiao Chujiu into the room.
Xiao Laodao first opened a small box, and saw that there was a thick straw in the box, and when he opened the straw, in the middle of the straw, there was actually a cyan colored ceramic bottle, Xiao Laodao shook his head, he was not interested in porcelain, and then opened a big box, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his face smiled into a flower, and he saw that in this big box, all the gold nuggets were placed, and each piece was at least the size of a child's fist.
Xiao Laodao suddenly became excited, and instructed my grandfather and Xiao Chujiu to open all the boxes and see what was inside, and then, the three of them opened all the boxes in one go.
There are a total of six large and small boxes, each box is full, and the objects inside are different, gold and silver, porcelain and jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, basically what you want.
Xiao Laodao looked at it and laughed, "These belongings with the surname Gao are worth digging ten tombs for us!" ”
Coming out of the cellar and returning to the living room, Xiao Laodao gathered everyone together and ordered: "Let's stay in Gao's house tonight, and when it dawns tomorrow, I will go outside to buy a carriage, and wait until tomorrow night, let's load all the boxes in the cellar into the carriage, and there will be nothing left!" ”
When Miss Gao on the pillar heard this, she scolded Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao was not annoyed, and looked at Miss Gao and smiled, "Miss Gao, thank you for this great gift, don't worry, Poor Dao will bury you and your father." When Miss Gao heard this, she scolded even more, and in the end, the master couldn't stand it anymore, so he blocked Miss Gao's mouth in the past, and whispered to her, "If you want to live, you can scold a few words." ”
Afterwards, everyone cleaned up the corpse of the old blind man and the corpse of Gao Linshan, temporarily put them in the garden lawn, and then found their own rooms to sleep.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Xiao Laodao woke up everyone while the people in the village had not gotten up, and after a few words, he took Xiao Chujiu and left the Gao Mansion.
After Xiao Laodao left, Miss Gao on the pillar struggled, and the master took off the cloth silk from her mouth, and she said pitifully that she was thirsty, hungry, and anxious.
Xiao Laodao left, the master is the one who is in charge, the master untied the rope for Miss Gao, and let the showgirl hold her for convenience, and then got her some food and drink, and when she finished eating and drinking, the master wanted to tie her to the pillar again, at this time, Miss Gao begged, saying that she would not run again, and would not scold again, begging my grandfather not to tie her again, the taste of being tied to the pillar was too uncomfortable, and life was better than death.
The master is not as ruthless as Xiao Laodao, to put it bluntly, the master can't be ruthless to women, although this girl deceived them before and was covered by a big net and was hooked, but the master still obeyed her pleas and no longer tied her up.
Miss Gao was also very honest at this time, she didn't run or make trouble, she sat on the chair in the living room for a while, and seemed to have a little spirit, maybe she felt that the master was better than Xiao Laodao, so she looked at the master sitting next to her a few times, and asked: "This little brother, I see that you are a talent, why do you want to be in the same stream with the old Taoist priest, kill people and sell goods?" ”
When the master heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Miss Gao, and said lightly: "The girl misunderstood, we never do anything to kill people and sell goods, and your father was not killed by us, we came to your mansion and were forced by your Gao family, but it was your Gao family who robbed people's daughters and trafficked people, which is heinous!" ”
When Miss Gao heard this, she frowned lightly and said, "Why do you spray people with blood, that old Taoist priest always says that our family traffics in human beings, but my father is a good person in the neighborhood, he is very good to everyone, and he has done a lot of good deeds, human trafficking is simply nonsense!" ”
"Really?" The grandfather sneered and asked, "Haven't you entered this iron door in the living room?" ”
Miss Gao shook her head.
The grandfather stood up on the chair, "Okay, you come with me, I'll take you in to have a look." ”
When Miss Gao heard this, she stood up from her chair with a puzzled expression, and then the grandfather took her into the cellar.
Miss Gao looked at the wooden cell in the cellar and showed an expression of disbelief, "I, how can there be a cell under the living room of our house?" ”
The master said: "This is the evidence of your Gao family's robbery of people's daughters and human trafficking, these cells, in the past, were imprisoned by the women captured by your Gao family, but the wood of the cage is almost rotten, it seems to have been built a long time ago, I heard Brother Xiao say, this should have been built by your father when he was young, and later he may have built a Gao Mansion on top of the dungeon in order to hide people's eyes." ”
When Miss Gao heard this, she showed a puzzled expression, "My father...... Is it really human trafficking? ”
The master didn't answer and asked, "Then do you know what business your family does?" ”
Miss Gao shook her head blankly, and the grandfather asked again: "Since there is no business, where did your family's such a big family business come from?" ”
Miss Gao shook her head again and said, "Since I was born, my family has been like this, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, but I don't know what kind of business my father and brother do. ”
The master has always said very little, but seeing that the young lady of the Gao family really doesn't seem to know anything, the master told him how he met the man in blue, how he killed the third son of the Gao family in Mengjin, and how he was later chased and killed by the Gao family and the military advisor of the Gao family.
After listening to this, Miss Gao was stunned for a long time before coming back to her senses, and asked my grandfather unacceptably, "Liu Daxia, no, Brother Liu, what you said is true?" ”
The master nodded, "It's true, otherwise, we have no grievances with your Gao family, why would we come to find your bad luck." ”
When Miss Gao heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she choked up: "I never knew what business my father and brothers were doing, but I was so unconscionable, how could I be born in these people's families." As he spoke, he began to weep to himself.
The grandfather looked at Miss Gao, didn't say a word, he wouldn't persuade people, and he didn't want to persuade anyone, Miss Gao cried for a while before stopping, and the grandfather said to her at this time: "Miss Gao, as long as you are honest and obedient, don't think about escaping, we won't kill innocents indiscriminately, we can let you live." ”
Miss Gao glanced at the grandfather with tears in her eyes, and sobbed: "Even if you let me go, where can I go, the family is dead, a few days ago, the government came over, and the family was arrested and escaped by the government, and now I am the only one left, where else can I go......"
When the grandfather heard this, he twisted his face to the side, although the grandfather was jealous and hateful, and he didn't blink an eye when he killed people, but he also inherited the gene of my ancestor who was compassionate to others, and he couldn't see others suffering, so he pretended to be indifferent and said: "After reading the dungeon, we should also go up, and when Brother Xiao comes back, I will intercede for you and let you go." After that, the master turned around and was about to go out, but Miss Gao stood still, and Miss Gao said: "Brother Liu, I know from the first time I saw you that you are a good person and have a chivalrous heart, you ...... Can you take me with you, from now on, I will do your laundry and cooking, as long as you give me a way to live. ”
The grandfather immediately frowned, turned around and asked, "Don't you have any relatives, you can go to your relatives." ”
Miss Gao said: "I have no relatives anymore, don't worry, I will never bother you." ”
The master asked again: "What about the Mengjin Jiang family?" ”
Miss Gao replied: "Didn't your Taoist friend say that the Jiang family has been ...... by you?"
The master thought about it, too, when he left the Jiang family before, Xiao Laodao left a letter to the eldest master of the Jiang family, and the second master of the Jiang family was blamed in the letter.
The master was silent.
In the evening, when eating dinner, Xiao Laodao came back alone, and instructed the grandfather to move the boxes in the cellar to the gate of the courtyard first.
After Xiao Laodao finished explaining, the master asked Xiao Laodao: "Brother Xiao, what should we do with this Miss Gao?" ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he glanced at Miss Gao, who was standing beside the master, and seemed to realize something, so he didn't answer the question, and said, "I haven't asked you how to let her go, but you asked me first, what's the matter with her?" As he spoke, he pointed at Miss Gao with his chin.
The master hurriedly replied: "This Miss Gao is innocent, he did not participate in the Gao family's business, and besides, she didn't know about the Gao family's human trafficking. ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he looked at the master slyly and asked, "Then what do you want to do with her?" ”
The master hesitated for a moment, he saw that Xiao Laodao did not agree with his thoughts, and the master said: "Since she is innocent, then let's let her live." ”
Xiao Laodao suddenly smiled, "Brother, there is a way for heroes to be sad and beautiful, I think, you are emotional." ”
Xiao Laodao's voice fell, and Miss Gao hurriedly said: "Xiao Daochang, I just learned about the good things that my father and my brothers did, I hate them to death now, and I hope that Daodao will give me a way to live, from now on, I have nothing to do with the Gao family." ”
Xiao Laodao smiled and nodded, "Okay, very good, really eloquent and alert, okay, for my brother's sake, poor Dao spared your life, but before we leave Gaofu, you'd better be honest." ”
Miss Gao nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, thank you, I won't cause trouble for you, don't worry." ”
In a blink of an eye, the time came to the third watch, and several people from the grandfather, as well as Miss Gao, came to the gate of Gaofu together, guarding a few boxes, and waiting for Xiao Chujiu's arrival in the door.
After a while, there was a knock on the courtyard door, Xiao Shiyi wanted to go over to open the door, Xiao Laodao hurriedly waved his hand, and said vigilantly: "Why didn't you hear the sound of the carriage?" Be careful. Then he gave Xiao Shiyi a look, and Xiao Shiyi opened the courtyard door. After the courtyard door opened, the grandfather and a few people looked out, and they were all stunned.
I saw that the person knocking on the door was not Xiao Chujiu, it was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in black, with an evil face, and a simple knife in his waist.
The young man was also stunned when he saw Xiao Shiyi, then crossed Xiao Shiyi, glanced at the door, and suddenly saw a few people from the master, the young man reacted very quickly, and pulled out the Pu knife from his waist with a "brush", he seemed to be afraid of alarming the people on the Zhuangzi, so he didn't dare to shout, and shouted: "Who are you!" ”
Xiao Laodao reacted faster, and hurriedly said: "We were invited by Master Gao to help, who are you?" ”
When the young man heard Xiao Laodao say this, he looked at Xiao Laodao, his vigilance seemed to be lightened a little, and he said, "I am from Wangwushan, and our big boss sent me." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "It turned out to be a righteous man from Wangwushan, disrespectful and disrespectful, since we are all friends of Master Gao, then we are also friends, righteous man, please come in." ”
The young man looked at Xiao Laodao, and then at the grandfather, but he didn't enter the door, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Xiao Laodao hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, the Gao family has just caused an official dispute, and Master Gao wants to go out overnight to avoid the limelight, please come in, Master Gao is inside." ”
As soon as Xiao Laodao said this, the young man seemed to dispel all doubts, stepped into the door, and asked, "Where is Master Gao, our big boss sent me to ask about something." ”
Xiao Laodao hurriedly replied: "Our master is in the backyard, you come with me, and I will take you over." ”
When the young man heard this, he withdrew the knife from the scabbard, and seemed to have completely relaxed his guard, Xiao Laodao turned around, pretending to lead the young man, but gave the master a look.
