Chapter 161: Master Money
"Baizhu, you are waiting for us here, and we will come back when we go." Xie Jinyi didn't want to bring too many people in, and Master Qian had always disliked the fact that his employer went to many people, and she still knew this, so Bai Zhu didn't ask, and obediently parked the carriage on the side of the road.
The girl always had an idea, and since the girl said she didn't need him, then he waited.
Besides, the black market has its own set of rules, and it is not indiscriminate killing of innocents.
As Ziyu said, the black market is indeed black.
Built halfway up the mountainside, half-hidden from the skylight, the road is dark and damp, through a narrow alley into another world, many ragged people huddled on both sides of the road, see people although not afraid, but like a deer trembling, each person has a big black bowl in front of them, some of them have a little residual porridge in it, people look very worried.
Xie Jinyi and Ziyu carried the hem of their skirts and cautiously walked past them.
"Girl, are they all sick?" Ziyu grabbed the corner of Xie Jinyi's clothes tightly and said in a low voice, "I saw that their faces were all blue. Although she is not a doctor, she has been following Xie Jinyi for so long, and she knows a little bit, people's faces are normally white and red, and then yellow or black, but it is absolutely abnormal to be blue.
Xie Jinyi nodded, his mood was very heavy.
In her previous life, she had been to the black market, but she didn't see these people, she only knew that there were homeless refugees and refugees who were kindly taken in by the master here, but it was the first time to see so many patients, and an old woman jumped out of the corner of the wall, holding Xie Jinyi's legs and crying: "Girl, save us, the doctor said we can't live!" ”
"Girl, save us!" The crowd cried and cried.
There was a cry all of a sudden.
Soon, the two of them were surrounded in the middle by three layers inside and three layers outside.
Ziyu panicked, hurriedly protected Xie Jinyi in the middle, and said loudly: "You all retreat, our girl has something to come to see Master Qian today, we will definitely take care of your illness, but not now, you, you quickly retreat, retreat." ”
"Don't get excited, when I see Master Qian, I will come out to see you immediately." Xie Jinyi hurriedly said, "You have to believe me, you wait for me for a while." ”
"Who knows if the girl will come back!" The old woman grabbed the corner of Xie Jinyi's clothes, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, "We all moved from Fancheng in the northwest, General Xiao said that he would give us land to settle down and help us settle down, but half a year has passed, we haven't waited for anything, and we have caused this body of illness, girl, no one will come here to save us, the guard is not here today, we dare to say our hearts, girl, you save us!" ”
"Don't worry, I'll definitely save you." Xie Jinyi simply squatted down, held her dry and thin hand, took her pulse, and said movingly, "Old man, I have a hospital in the city, I speak my word, and when I finish my work, I will come back to see you." ”
Facing the woman's dark and clear eyes, the old woman hesitated to let go of her hand, she has read countless people in her life, and always feels that a woman with such a pair of good-looking eyes must be a kind-hearted person, and she will definitely not coax them.
"Girl, you must come back!"
"Girl, have mercy on us!"
The crowd ceases to plead.
Xie Jinyi couldn't bear to look at them, so he pulled Ziyu and walked forward quickly.
Bypassing the stone walls and long corridors, we finally arrived at a spacious place, which was flat compared to the low houses and open grass sheds, and even had a small garden at the door.
The garden is overgrown with weeds, and a few blue bowls and flowers are blooming sporadically, adding a little vitality to the gray surroundings.
From time to time, a head poked out of the room that could not be seen clearly, or gloomy, or looked at the two curiously, Rao is Ziyu was bold, and he didn't dare to look around, just grabbed Xie Jinyi's hand tightly, oh my God, no wonder people in the capital will change their faces when they talk about the black market, it's too scary here.
In the main hall, an extremely thin middle-aged man is leisurely sitting on a tiger skin chair to take a nap, he is wearing a dark gray robe, thin lips and phoenix eyes and eagle nose, his eyes are sharp, slowly shaking the folding fan in his hand, four or five beautiful maids are carefully beating his legs and pinching his back, more than a dozen strong big men are standing around with expressionless faces, everyone is holding a bright and dangling big knife in their hands, shining in the dim stone room.
Seeing Xie Jinyi and Ziyu coming in, someone shouted: "Who dares to trespass on the territory of the master, don't you want to live?" ”
"Master Qian, the little woman is here to ask Master Qian to help find someone." Xie Jinyi generously handed over the silver ticket, the man took the silver ticket in Xie Jinyi's hand and handed it to the middle-aged man, and said respectfully, "Master Qian, please take a look." ”
Master Qian glanced at the silver ticket and waved his hand gently: "Set up a seat and report your name." ”
Five thousand taels of silver tickets are enough to buy a seat.
This is the rule of the black market.
"Thank you!" Xie Jinyi sat down generously and said bluntly, "The little girl Xie Jinyi, the second daughter of Anping Bofu, my father Xie Ting, and the fifth member of the Ministry of Works, was invited by Xiao Mansion last night to go to the moat to admire the moon, and the banquet has not returned, and it has been about five hours now." ”
Master doesn't like to be verbose.
Instead, I like to be simple and straightforward.
"You've been here before?" Master Qian leaned forward and asked.
The little girl was well-organized and spoke briefly.
It's not like the first time I came, at least I knew his rules.
"The prestige of the master is like thunder." Xie Jinyi said, "Although it is the first time I met, it is like an old acquaintance." ”
"Haha, okay, happy." Master Qian smiled, put away the silver ticket, waved his big hand, and ordered: "Go and check, within an hour, be sure to find someone and bring it here." ”
"Yes!" The big men in the row on the left stepped back.
"Thank you!" Xie Jinyi was slightly blessed.
"Fair trade, no need to be polite." Master Qian sat back in the tiger skin chair, closed his eyes leisurely and asked, "Fifth Miss Xie, do you see those ordinary people at the door?" ”
"See!" Xie Jinyi sat down and said kindly, "They have an infectious disease, and people die every half a month, just now they said that they have been here for half a year, which means that most of their group of people have gone." ”
Fancheng is the territory of the Xiao family.
Since these people moved from Fancheng, they must have something to do with the Xiao family.
"What else does Miss Xie see?" Master Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Xie Jinyi with interest, "Miss Xie, since you treat me as an old friend, then I don't treat you as an outsider, let me ask you, can you save these people?" ”
"Does Master Qian want me to save me?" Xie Jinyi asked rhetorically.
Master Qian has always recognized money but not people.
The common people outside must have been paid for him before he promised to give them a place to live.
