Tong Gui was let into the house by Boss Hua, and Boss Hua put five taels of silver on the table, pushed it in front of Tong Gui, and said with a sad face: "Lord, I'm very sorry, the third daughter-in-law has already sold it to someone else, this is a fixed amount of five taels of silver, and I will return it to you." ”

Tong Gui was stunned and said, "Sold?!" Didn't we say yes? Ten taels of silver, pay five taels of money first, come to collect someone early this morning, and pay the balance? ”

Boss Hua twitched the corner of his eyes, and looked embarrassed: "Master, I, I have no way, you can be considerate." ”

Tong Gui's face immediately fell, and he said angrily: "I'm afraid you don't know which one I am, master, right?" You go to Jiangyang County to explore and ask, who doesn't know my lord? Dare to play master?! Don't want to live anymore? ”

Boss Hua cried with a sad face and said, "Master, I don't know that the Land God Monarch also has to know about you!" But there must also be a Jade Emperor above the Land God Monarch, right? The little one eats the bear's heart, the leopard and the horse dare not eat it, and it sin against you; But the little ones also don't dare to eat the sin of the county and his father! He only gave five taels of silver, and I didn't want to sell it, but I didn't dare not sell it......"

As soon as he heard that the county master was his father, Tong Gui's face changed immediately, and he was really afraid of something.

This old lady Xu is also a well-known figure in Jiangyang County, not because he is rich and powerful, not because he has a county son who is second only to the county master, but because he has a special hobby----- likes to buy nurses.

The specific reason is unknown, only that the nurse who bought it went in with a ruddy face, and after a few days came out with a yellow face and thin muscles, and then was resold to others, and asked those women what they had experienced.

Of course, there were also many women who turned into corpses and carried them out.

One year, a fellow villager of Xu Xiancheng came, and he lost his words after drinking, saying that Xu Xiancheng was the son of an affair between Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu's ten-year-old nurse, and when Mrs. Xu's wife entered the coffin, someone saw the cinnabar on her arm.

People with good faith suddenly discovered that Mrs. Xu had actually started to buy a nurse at home after the death of his nurse.

Old lady Xu often nests in his own house, and it is easy not to go out, and it is impossible to reach the sky with his hands and eyes, knowing that there is a young woman in Zhuxiang Village who wants to sell herself, and there must be something greasy in the middle.

Tong Gui stepped forward, grabbed Boss Hua's neck, hung his fist above Boss Hua's head, and roared: "Is it stupid to be a master?" Don't you say it, Old Lady Xu will know that your family is going to sell women? You must have said it, see if I don't kill you today!! ”

Hua Lao Er saw that the eldest brother was going to suffer, so he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him: "Master, don't be angry, if you talk about selling people, our family is naturally willing to sell it to you, Wang Sihu only gave me five taels of silver, less than half of the silver!! But they are buying people for Xu Xiancheng's father, and we are ordinary people, and we don't even dare to fart......"

"Wang Sihu?" Tong Gui suddenly remembered where Mrs. Xu's carriage had stopped just now, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Boss Hua and Er Hua, and rushed out of the courtyard gate directly.

was about to move in the direction of Yang Xiu's house, but after a moment of hesitation, he came directly to Wang Sihu's house.

When he arrived in Wang Sihu's courtyard, Wang Sihu came out with a smile on his face and accompanied a fat-headed and big-eared housekeeper-like person, followed by Hua Laosi, who was cowering.

Seeing Tong Gui coming, Hua Laosi's face changed, and he said to Wang Sihu: "Fourth uncle, the third sister-in-law is locked up in the ancestral hall, and my mother is watching there, you go to get someone, I will ...... after I urinate urgently."

Immediately, Tong Laosi's body was like a loach into a quagmire, and there was no shadow in an instant.

Steward Xu and his entourage walked out of the courtyard of the Wang family, Tong Gui gave a deep salute to Steward Xu, and said respectfully: "Steward Xu, the kid is polite here." ”

The housekeeper teased Tong Gui with his eyelids, seeing that Tong Gui looked a little familiar, he still snorted arrogantly in his nose and said, "You kid is a knowledgeable person, you know me." I look at you and you're a little familiar, what's stopping me here today? ”

Tong Gui hurriedly waved his hand, and said with a flattering face: "Steward Xu, the little one is a street on behalf of Wu Zhutou to collect businessmen and taxes, and today I went to Zhuxiang Village to string relatives, and I heard that Steward Xu bought the lady of the flower family, so I had the courage to come over and remind two sentences." ”

Steward Xu suddenly remembered why he saw this Tong Gui's familiar face, he should have met it by chance in the yamen.

After Wu Zhutou officially took over the position of head catcher, the catchers only caught thieves and patrolled the streets, no longer going to the streets to collect taxes, but sent these small ruffians to collect on their behalf.

These small ruffians have won the face of the imperial court, and they are all like chicken blood, and the tax and silver collection has increased by 30% compared with the past, which can be described as a remarkable achievement.

Steward Xu bowed slightly, acquiescing to Tong Gui's words.

Tong Gui leaned in front of Steward Xu, lowered his voice and said, "Steward Xu, the woman you want to buy, her husband is dead, and she is very ......."

Steward Xu shook his head indifferently and said, "It's not that something happened to the father-in-law, whose nursing woman will go to drink the water of the next well and go to the next family to beg for a living?" Xianggong is not dead, our Xu family still doesn't want it....."

Tong Gui continued: "The husband and daughter of Hua San Niangzi were thrown into the August River by bandits and drowned, after being rescued, if Hua Niangzi had fed milk to Xiaohua'er, she happened to have a big belly disease......

Tong Gui just said tentatively, Steward Xu's face really changed, and he said to Wang Sihu beside him: "You did a good thing!" Be careful, sir, you can't even be an executioner!! ”

Wang Sihu glanced at Tong Gui fiercely, and hurriedly explained: "Steward Xu, don't listen to this nonsense, since the third flower was thrown into the August River and drowned, and Xiaohuaer was rescued, the flower lady has never had a chance to see Xiaohuaer again, how to feed the milk?" How do you get a big belly? ”

Seeing that Steward Xu was aggressive towards his father-in-law, Mrs. Wang had the meaning of asking for guilt, where did she still care about etiquette, and said directly to Steward Xu: "Steward Xu, my wife has lived in Zhuxiang Village for most of her life, and most of the relatives in the village who have not come out of Wufu can be counted, and in this later life, there are no relatives in Zhuxiang Village at all!" He came to find Yang Xiu Yang Yimao, and there were rumors in the village that Yang Yimao and the flower lady were not clear, and he must have wanted to buy the good ones back!! ”

Steward Xu's eyes swept towards Tong Gui like the wind, and his face was like ink: "Boy, your relatives won't be Yang Xiu nicknamed Yang Yimao as they say, right?" ”

Tong Gui didn't say anything about a village family that could be a "relative" for a long time, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "It doesn't matter who my relatives are, what matters is the old lady's body." ”

Steward Xu's eyes were staring at Tong Gui's eyes, and he smiled lightly when he looked at it: "It's okay, aren't you afraid of getting a big belly?" I will take the woman back to the house first, and then I will pay homage to the old lady when the weather is calm in January. ”

After speaking, Steward Xu glanced at Wang Sihu, Wang Sihu picked up the machete of the executioner who had not opened the blade, and went straight to the ancestral hall, behind him, followed by the people who watched the excitement.
