Chapter 5: Imprisonment is the only way out for aspiring youth
It's a tough world.
Poor Chu Qianqiu's dignified traverser, an aspiring young man from the earth, holding the time circulation system in his hand, should have been every second of the air, and he was the only one, but he was forced by this world to want to eat soft rice.
However, Miss Huang is petite and lovely, although her complexion is a little sickly pale, and her body development is relatively slow, one to two years later than her peers, like a tightly locked flower bone, she dare not bloom wantonly.
But those dark eyes are extremely clear and smart, so that everyone who sees her can't help but pity and love her.
Even if he has the guilt of replacing the original owner in his heart, he has to admit that he has a desire to protect her.
So it doesn't seem that soft rice can't be eaten.
It's a big deal to repay this meal with a lot of gold in the future.
Just when Chu Qianqiu was struggling with whether to eat this soft rice, the two of them had already walked in front of the largest used clothes store in Baixiang Town, which was also the largest tailor shop.
"I said why did the magpie keep calling today, it turned out that the eldest lady and Young Master Chu were here." The beautiful woman store manager was overjoyed and hurriedly came out to greet her.
Huang Xiaoxiao was not polite, and directly put the gold ingots on the counter, and said very generously.
"Sister Liu, I want to change my clothes for Brother Qianqiu."
"Miss, tell me directly, I can get you any clothes."
"I want the best, I want the most expensive, and I want the most suitable for Brother Qianqiu."
Huang Xiaoxiao's words directly calmed the other guests present, they first glanced at the eldest lady, and then at Chu Qianqiu, sure enough, it was a talent, and then they all showed expressions of second understanding.
There are those who envy, those who despise them, and naturally those who are jealous.
"No problem!" Store Manager Liu's voice instantly rose an octave, and she and Huang Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Qianqiu together, the former looked at Chu Qianqiu, like a golden ingot, while the latter wanted to see what his childhood sweetheart would look like in different clothes.
With the joint efforts of the two, Chu Qianqiu finally understood that soft rice was not so easy to eat.
They actually changed thirty sets of clothes, and it was not until the last set that they were somewhat unsatisfied, and it took nearly one hour before and after.
If it weren't for the urgency of time, Huang Xiaoxiao and Store Manager Liu would be able to choose the end of the world.
But the effect is also quite amazing, Chu Qianqiu, who was already handsome, after wearing a brocade robe forged with colorful pythons, is no longer the ordinary son of a hundred households, and has a little more demeanor of a wealthy child.
Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses on saddles.
The ladies around the clothing store, their cheeks were quickly dyed red, and Huang Xiaoxiao's eyes revealed a happy color, which was enough to prove that Chu Qianqiu at this time was much more handsome than before.
"How much does this garment cost?" Chu Qianqiu didn't want Huang Xiaoxiao to break the bank too much, so he directly took out all the silver in his pocket and lined it up on the countertop.
This is all his possessions, a total of 10 taels of silver.
In an ordinary family, it is already a huge amount of money, and the last time he came to buy a set of old clothes to cover up, it only cost 200 yuan.
No matter how expensive this dress is, it can't be so expensive.
The manager of the store Liu is really a person who can do business, I saw her nodding again and again
"Young Master Chu guessed very accurately, it happened to be 10 taels of silver in Sheng Hui's pattern."
After speaking, Store Manager Liu accepted Chu Qianqiu's silver, but secretly glanced at Huang Xiaoxiao on the side, and opened his five fingers, implying that the true price of this set of clothes was 50 taels of silver.
"Brother Qianqiu is really, every time you ask you to invite, you always have to let me invite once." Huang Xiaoxiao muttered at the right time, diverting everyone's attention.
These small actions naturally failed to hide Chu Qianqiu's eyes, but he was not an unreasonable person, soothing the eldest lady's emotions with a smile, and talking about the next time, with the performance of the two.
Soon, after buying clothes, the two got into the carriage and rushed to the Huang Mansion.
"Miss, you're finally back, my lord is in a hurry."
"You must not tell the master to go to the second-hand clothes store again today, or he will have to be angry."
"You know, my lord doesn't like to buy old things the most, don't forget."
"Got it, got it, don't read it anymore."
As soon as Chu Qianqiu helped Huang Xiaoxiao out of the carriage, a white-haired old servant came to greet him, only to see the old servant hurriedly say a few words, and when Huang Xiaoxiao showed an impatient look, he hurriedly bent down at Chu Qianqiu and humbly invited him into the mansion.
"Young Master Chu is here, please come inside."
"Brother Qianqiu, don't pay attention to him, let's go."
Huang Xiaoxiao grabbed Chu Qianqiu and walked home generously.
This was the first time that Chu Qianqiu came to Huang Qianhu's mansion after crossing over, looking at the manor compound with three entrances and three exits, and the stone lion more than 1 meter high standing at the door, he couldn't help but be suspicious.
Is the Huang family really just a thousand households, not Wang Sun Guizhou?
Because the Huang family compound is heavily guarded, the wall has been built to a height of nearly 3 meters, and looking into the distance, the wall is also covered with iron spike hooks, and there are even special standing positions specially prepared for archers.
With such strict protection, it was even stricter than the last time Chu Qianqiu went to the barracks!
Within thirty steps, there will be a replacement patrol, and the patrolling family members have a vague military temperament, all dressed in iron armor, with swords at their waists, holding wolf dogs, and murderous.
The Huang family's compound on the first floor is completely built according to the standards of the princely mansion, that is, if there is a riot in Lingzhou City, they can also defend the house, I am afraid that it will be difficult for an army of thousands of people to fall in an instant.
Is this Huang Qianhu really a thousand-level official?
Chu Qianqiu never believed that a thousand households could build such a house, and the number of families patrolling alone was as small as three hundred, and their eating, drinking, and Lazar were not a small amount, and every day was silver like the sea.
Hundreds of households commanding a hundred people, and a thousand households commanding a thousand people, the difference between the two is ten times, but compared with the courtyard of the Chu family, one is a beggar's nest, and the other is a palace.
Even if Huang Qianhu was particularly able to drink the blood of soldiers and move all the military salaries to his own home, he would never be able to build such a house.
Even 10,000 households, which are one level higher than 1,000 households, are afraid that they will not have the money to spend such expenses.
Wait, money?
Chu Qianqiu seemed to understand something at this moment.
Even if he looked at this compound himself, he could understand that Huang Qianhu must have amazing wealth, and the six doors must be even clearer.
The means of controlling the army by the imperial court have always been only two things, one is personnel promotion, and the other is military salary and supply.
In terms of personnel control, the army has a rather serious hereditary system, where a hundred households can inherit the position of a hundred households, and a thousand households can inherit the position of a thousand households.
Although the hereditary system is opposed, it has its justification in the military.
Because they pay blood taxes and fight for their lives on the battlefield, if they can't guarantee a hardcore crop for their descendants, who will work for the imperial court?
If it was only for those few taels of silver, the farmers in the field would not be desperate.
If the salary is high, where will the court get so much money?
Therefore, the Shenwei Army has hereditary military dependents, there are martial arts halls, and the ones who are cultivated are their own people, and Chu Qianqiu is the army's own people, and he can inherit the position of a hundred households without even the approval of the imperial court.
The only means that the imperial court could control the army was military salaries and supplies.
Shenwei Army, General Long, Liu Dutong, Huang Qianhu, Chu Baihu.
This information finally came together, allowing Chu Qianqiu to understand for the first time what the six doors wanted.
Huang Qianhu is by no means an ordinary Qianhu, he is more like Song Jiang in the Water Margin, he can't measure his ability by his position, even if it is a Qianhu, he can be more powerful and wealthy than Wanhu.
And this huge wealth made him the money bag of the Shenwei Army and remained semi-independent.
Six doors unscrupulous means just want to make a breakthrough from themselves, find the source of Huang Qianhu's wealth, and knock out the money bags of the Shenwei Army.
I'm so fucking unlucky.
As soon as he crossed over, he was involved in the whirlpool of the struggle between the court and the army.
A whirlpool of this level is really not enough for a few lives.
But can you change it yourself?
No.
At least now, when he has just condensed his true qi, it is impossible for him to jump ship, and there is no option to escape.
Six Doors didn't arrest and torture themselves, just because they were from Huang Qianhu.
If he escapes, not to mention that Six Gates will not let him go, even the army will definitely capture him back.
You can only take one step and look at one step.
"My good daughter, why did you come back, Daddy wants to kill you."
"Are you hurt, is anyone bullying you?"
"Tell Daddy."
The two of them entered the first door, and a middle-aged man who looked like a rich man ran out, grabbed Huang Xiaoxiao, first measured his pulse, then observed his eyes, and then checked it from head to toe.
"Daddy, let go, Brother Qianqiu is still watching."
"I'm angry if I do this again."
Huang Xiaoxiao was so angry that he stomped his feet, this innate master who shocked Baixiang Town and made the six doors jealous, only then did he let go of his hand stupidly, with a look of grievance on his daughter's father's face.
This Huang Qianhu doesn't look like a martial arts master at all, let alone the generals of the army, his face is full of festive fat, and he really looks like the Maitreya Buddha in the temple.
Only Chu Qianqiu, who was carefully observing from the sidelines, could discover the essence of his festive appearance.
After Huang Qianhu had a fight with his daughter, his face became serious, and he shushed Chu Qianqiu with a little reproach and asked for warmth.
"Virtuous nephew is true, I haven't told you many times to treat this place as your home."
"If there is anything to eat and wear, even if you come to your uncle, there are no outsiders here, you can take whatever you want."
"I've been to Linghu City these days and I've done everything."
"In two days, the order for you to take up the position of one hundred households will be issued."
"Don't worry that someone will take your father's place, this position is reserved for you."
Huang Qianhu's actions made Chu Qianqiu a little unexpected, and he seemed to be a little overzealous.
It shouldn't be like this.
Chu Qianqiu didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly said
"Everything is in trouble with Uncle."
"No trouble, no trouble, there are no outsiders here." Huang Qianhu waved his hand again and again, not taking it as a credit.
"What is my friendship with Yinghao, ten years ago under the Heavenly Wolf City, if he hadn't saved me, I would have confessed there at that time."
"But virtuous nephew, it's not that I'm talking bad about my brother, Yinghao was really poor that day, don't learn from him."
"When you need silver, just ask."
"Daddy!" Huang Xiaoxiao angrily pinched his father's hand, making Huang Qianhu talk about the girl's extroversion.
Chu Qianqiu had an indescribable taste, not knowing whether it was joy or sadness.
Maybe it was because he hadn't traveled long ago and couldn't really integrate into them, so he could only smile reluctantly
"Thank you, uncle."
"Say thank you, there are no outsiders here!"
"But when you two go in later, you'll pay attention to me." Huang Qianhu's voice suddenly lowered an octave, and he said softly.
"There's a wicked guest at home, no matter what he does, you have to be honest, and I'll deal with it."
"Do you understand?"
Huang Xiaoxiao and Chu Qianqiu glanced at each other, they didn't expect that something had happened to the Huang Mansion, no wonder Huang Qianhu hurriedly came out to greet them, it seemed that he wanted to vaccinate the two of them.
"Uncle, I'm from my province."
"Daddy, I won't say a word." Huang Xiaoxiao hurriedly covered her mouth and signaled that she would not make trouble.
"Then come with me." Huang Qianhu nodded with satisfaction, really like the head of the family, and led the two of them into the third floor of the Huangfu compound, which is also the place where guests and friends are really entertained.
But the banquet was empty, and there was no one at the table.
Where are the guests?
Chu Qianqiu just wanted to say something, when suddenly a black shadow burst out, and he didn't have time to dodge at all, so he was hit by someone who pointed at thirty-six acupuncture points, and his whole body instantly stiffened and he couldn't move.
Who is it?
Who's sneaking up on me?
Could it be the villain?
But in the next second, he heard Huang Qianhu's applause in his ears.
"I have often heard that the disguise technique of the six doors is unparalleled in the world, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation."
"Who the hell are you, and why are you pretending to be Chu Xian's nephew?"
"Tiny, feed something to his mouth."
The rich man with a festive face is gone.
Now he is the most powerful cadre of Liu Dutong under the command of the Shenwei Army, and Huang Qianhu in Lingzhou.
Hahaha, I'm exposed again.
Chu Qianqiu's mouth was full of bitterness, and the people who wanted to get along with him day and night were really difficult.
Exposed faster than in front of Tie Qianshan.
"Daddy, he's obviously Brother Qianqiu, aren't you mistaken?" Huang Xiaoxiao still said in disbelief.
"If he is really a virtuous nephew, how can he not be able to match a code, first take him to the dungeon, I will interrogate him slowly!"
Now it's time to go back to the familiar dungeon.
There are still a full 21 hours left, which is longer than the previous two cycles.
Could it be that going to prison is the only way out for aspiring young people?
(Note: The code is, there are no outsiders here, you can see how many times Huang Qianhu said.) )
