"What, Kuroko, they're dead!"

Baoshan, who was smoking a cigarette in the house, heard the report of his subordinates and got up to the case.

"Yes, yes, we found their bodies in an inn. ”

One of his men knelt on the ground and said with a pale face.

"How did they die?"

Baoshan took a deep puff of his cigarette, put the cigarette stick on the edge of the table and knocked on it, and asked slowly.

"One of the legs of the second black man was white when he was tortured by Ling Chi, and we found him a corpse, and there were many wounds on his body that had been torn and bitten. As for the black boss, he attacked us like crazy with flesh and blood, and finally had to kill him. ”

The subordinates who knelt on the ground, resisted the urge to vomit, and told Baoshan about the scene like purgatory on earth.

"Cough, cough, cough......"

Although he was just listening, Baoshan still imagined the picture of brotherhood in his mind, and the feeling of churning in his stomach made him cough unstoppable.

Looking at Baoshan's embarrassed appearance, a trace of happiness flashed inexplicably in the eyes of the subordinates kneeling on the ground.

"Shhhh

"What a ruthless method, who is going on?"

Baoshan, who had recovered from it, gasped, and then muttered to himself in a low voice.

Baoshan didn't think that a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy could do such a bloody and cruel method, not to mention that there were still many doubts in it, such as why no one would find out for so long.

"How's that wild boy doing?"

Baoshan, who raised his hand and was about to take a puff of cigarette, suddenly remembered Long Yuan, so he asked casually.

"That kid is very strange, except that he heard from the soldiers who guarded the city gate that day that he was a traveling student from the east, and now he is working as a housekeeper in a small family. ”

The subordinates who knelt on the ground told all the news about Long Yuan in one breath.

"East, mysterious man, forget it, this kid won't move for the time being, and now he's staring at the Xun family with all his might. ”

After pondering for a moment, Baoshan swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog and spoke.

......

"Steward Long, the head of the Bai family came to visit the master. ”

Long Yuan, who was meditating in the house, heard the voice of the family outside the house.

"Bai Xuanming?"

Long Yuan had an impression of this person, and Steward Tian introduced him before leaving.

The Bai family and the He family are close friends, and the relationship began with He Xiuzhu and their fathers, and it was the mutual support of the two families that made them gain a firm foothold in Beisha City.

It was his job as the housekeeper of the He Mansion to greet guests, Long Yuan stood up and tidied up his clothes, pushed the door and walked towards Bai Xuanming.

I saw Bai Xuanming standing outside the door wearing a brown squire short coat, which was embroidered with bat patterns, with a clean face and no beard, and a pair of red phoenix eyes were the most eye-catching.

"Master Bai. ”

Standing in front of Bai Xuanming and bowing, the angle of bending down was just right, which not only showed enough respect for the guests, but also did not lose the demeanor of his own house.

"Who are you?"

Long Yuan's performance made Bai Xuanming's eyes light up, and he immediately asked with some doubts.

"Steward Tian said goodbye to the old man and returned to his hometown, I am the new housekeeper, Long Yuan. ”

Long Yuan bowed down again and introduced himself at the same time.

"Please also ask Master Bai to wait again, and I will go to tell Master He. ”

After welcoming Bai Xuanming to the main hall to watch tea, Long Yuan walked quickly to the backyard.

"Oh, I don't know if Brother Bai is coming, he is disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Before the sound of people arrived, He Xiuzhu began to confess before he stepped into the door of the main hall.

After a period of greetings, Long Yuan came in with another cup of tea and put it on the table next to He Xiuzhu.

"I wonder how Brother Xian is doing?"

Gradually, the two talked to the point.

"Hey, I'm overwhelmed, even if my He family hollows out the old bottom, I can't take out so many silver taels!"

He Xiuzhu stomped his feet and lamented.

"Actually, I don't hide it from the virtuous brother, the foolish brother went to the Huang family as a peacemaker a few days ago. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Xuanming looked crying and laughing.

"What did the Huang family say?"

He Xiuzhu asked eagerly.

"The Huang family put forward one condition, that is-"

Speaking of this, Bai Xuanming became slumped, and his eyes looked at Long Yuan who was waiting on the side from time to time.

"Let's go to the backyard and talk about it. ”

He Xiuzhu understood what Bai Xuanming meant, and dragged Bai Xuanming's wrist to the backyard, but Long Yuan understood and did not follow.

In fact, there is no difference between going and not going to Long Yuan, and what can escape his eyes and ears in He Mansion.

Bai Xuanming's appearance here at this moment was nothing more than a trouble that the He family was encountering now.

The He family is engaged in the trading of carriers, that is, the cheap things in some places are transported to places with high prices to earn the difference.

Originally, the He family's business was all petty and the business was also in Beisha Province, but in two months, the Huang family found He Xiuzhu, hoping that the He family could transport a batch of fruits and vegetables from other provinces.

The Huang family mainly operates restaurants in Beisha, and it is understandable that there is such a demand, not to mention that although the Huang family is not a wealthy family in Beisha City, it is also the number one family that can be ranked.

He Xiuzhu knew the difficulty and was willing to refuse, but the Huang family offered a price that was difficult to refuse, and He Xiuzhu, who wanted to expand the family business, finally nodded and agreed to the business, and after signing the contract and receiving the deposit, the He family began to prepare intensively.

But when the He family transported this batch of fruits and vegetables back to Beisha City two months later, they were handed over to the Huang family but refused to receive them on the grounds that the fruits and vegetables had deteriorated.

This made He Xiuzhu anxious, and he personally came to the door to discuss the matter with the Huang family, but the Huang family clung to the contract and asked the He family to pay double the liquidated damages.

You must know that the total price of this single business is as high as five hundred taels of silver, and double means one thousand taels of silver, which can buy four He Mansions.

The deadline given by the Huang family is approaching, and if they can't get the silver taels, the He family will not only sell their property, but the men will also be reduced to slaves, and the women will be sold into the Qinglou.

He Xiuzhu has been running around for several days on this matter, but there has been no improvement, and his whole person has aged a lot.

The various families in Beisha City who learned of this were waiting to see the jokes of the He family, and some families close to the He family also expressed their helplessness when faced with a thousand taels of silver.

"Brother Bai, tell me what conditions the Huang family has proposed. ”

After He Xiuzhu pulled Bai Xuanming into the ear room and sat down, he asked impatiently.

"The Huang family said that if your He family is willing to marry Yi Xue Xu to his second son, this account will be written off. ”

Bai Xuanming said the conditions of the Huang family in a heavy tone.

"Impossible!"

He Xiuzhu was like thunder and lightning, and he shouted violently.

Who in Beishacheng didn't know that the second son of the Huang family was a fool, how could he, He Xiuzhu, push his daughter into the fire pit without his eyes.

He Xiuzhu seemed to have been drained of all his strength, sat down slowly and weakly, closed his eyes painfully and said, "I'm already sorry for Yixue and her mother, I can't be sorry for Yixue anymore." ”

Long Yuan, who was hiding in his house, held his breath and listened intently to the movement in the backyard of the people.

"Hehe, the Huang family is really calculating. Hearing Bai Xuanming's conditions, Long Yuan immediately figured out the cause and effect, "This is a trick for the He family to drill into!"

"But if He Yixue marries into the Huang family, she will not be a member of the He family. ”

Long Yuan said thoughtfully.

The sky gradually darkened, and He Xiuzhu and Long Yuan sent Bai Xuanming outside the gate.

"Brother Xian, you can consider the conditions of the Huang family. ”

Before parting, Bai Xuanming persuaded He Xiuzhu with some hesitation, but unfortunately he was silent in exchange for He Xiuzhu.

"Hey—"

With a long sigh and no more words, Bai Xuanming turned around and boarded the carriage that had been prepared and left in the night.

"Yixue, my father will definitely protect you. ”

He Xiuzhu said in his heart, and the knuckles of the fists hidden in the long sleeves turned white because of the force.
