Chapter 213: Digging the Foot of the Wall
Not long after Jesse left the City Lord's Mansion, all those black-robed people were sent to the City Lord's Mansion in the church, and the monitoring mission was canceled, and the City Lord also specially explained to them that they should not disclose this matter to outsiders, and they should not mention this matter again in the future, otherwise they would be severely punished.
Regarding the city lord's order, not only those black-robed people didn't understand, but Ouyang Feng was also confused, and he couldn't figure out what Jesse and the city lord said, so that there was a faint sense of fear and goodwill in letting this city lord of Ula give such an order.
At first, Ouyang Feng thought that the city lord of Ula felt that the ability of these ordinary black-robed people was not enough to complete the surveillance and spy, but he was ready to send more powerful subordinates, but Ouyang Feng and Qingfeng were fully conscious, and they waited until dawn outside the city lord's mansion and did not see any masters come out, and occasionally one or two people came out, and they were all routine inspections, and what Ouyang Feng imagined did not happen.
When they felt a little tired after releasing their divine consciousness for a long time, Mingyue and the red clothes after the disguise came to replace Ouyang Feng and Qingfeng, guarding the front and rear gates of the City Lord's Mansion respectively, and continued to monitor the movements of the City Lord's Mansion, no way, for everyone's safety, they had to do this.
Ouyang Feng and Qingfeng were not idle after returning to the villa, after eating, Qingfeng took Elena and the rice bucket straight to the mercenary union, because there was still someone waiting for them there, as for the Tiger Mercenary Group, there was Alger, a guy with outstanding strength and experience, Qingfeng was not worried.
Came to the mercenary union, Qingfeng and the three of them directly found Jesse, this goods may have been holding two big pearls last night and watched for a night, when Qingfeng saw him, this goods eyes were red. But the spirit is very good.
Warmly greeted Qingfeng and the three of them sat down. Jesse ordered someone to bring the best tea leaves to Qingfeng and made a cup of tea for each of the three of them. Qingfeng and Jesse said a few polite words. By the way, I thanked Jesse again for his help, and asked what Jesse and the city lord of Ulla said yesterday without missing a trace, and took back Carl's identity plate.
Then, Qingfeng directly proposed the purpose of this trip, Jesse naturally agreed, and after a while, the girl in white who earned Qingfeng's two gold coins yesterday walked in nervously.
The girl in white was still the shabby white dress she was yesterday, and when she saw the three of them, the girl in white was slightly surprised. After nodding gratefully to Qingfeng, he kneaded the corners of his clothes with his hands uneasily, and stood in front of Jesse's table with his head down.
Jesse stood up and introduced with a smile: "She is Delia, a temporary employee of our union, and I am very good friends with her father Senior, but Seniore died when he went out on a mission a few years ago, leaving Delia and her seriously ill mother, alas, in order to keep their mother and daughter alive, I used my power to let Delia work in the union." Although the wages are not much, at least they can feed themselves. ”
After speaking. Jesse changed his previous sorrow, laughed and said, "Delia, you should have seen these three, and you are called here by three distinguished guests looking for you, you should take advantage of the opportunity." As he spoke, he said to Qingfeng very interestingly: "You guys talk first, I still have some things to deal with, and I'll be back in a while." Qingfeng nodded and watched Jesse leave.
After only the three of Qingfeng and the increasingly restrained Delia were left in the room, Qingfeng smiled and said, "Delia, please sit down, don't be so nervous, I'm not here to ask you for gold coins." ”
Delia smiled awkwardly when she heard this, Elena and Delia were about the same age, and they had a good impression of her, jumped to Delia's side, pressed it on the chair and couldn't wait to say: "Delia, my name is Elena, don't be nervous, we have no malice, but here to help you, do you want to earn more gold coins?"
Delia raised her head, looked at the gentle and smiling breeze and the rice bucket with a meaty nose on her face, and then looked at the eccentric Elena, hesitated for a moment and lowered her head and whispered, "I won't sell my body for the sake of the front." ”
Hearing Delia say this, Qingfeng and the three of them were all stunned, the corners of Qingfeng's mouth twitched, and he said in amazement: "I'll go, little girl, who do you think we are? Do you think we are like the kind of people who force good people to become prostitutes? We are mercenaries." ”
Delia timidly said, "Didn't the mercenaries also help those brothels do things, and didn't you really help them persuade me to come?"
Elena said inexplicably, "Who are they?
Qingfeng frowned and said, "What? someone really wants to pull you to that kind of place?"
Seeing that Qingfeng and Elena's surprised expressions were not pretended, Delia was relieved, nodded and said, "Yes, several groups of mercenaries or brothels have come to look for me. Speaking of this, Delia said loudly with some excitement: "But I didn't promise, even if I starve to death, I won't sell my body, and my mother won't eat what I exchanged my body for." Delia's words were almost shouted, and after she finished speaking, Delia lowered her head aggrievedly and cried, making Qingfeng and the rice bucket look at each other inexplicably.
Qingfeng looked at Elena, whose face was displeased, and said innocently, "I didn't say anything, but you heard it." ”
Elena glanced at the breeze, put her arms around Delia's shoulders lovingly, and said, "I know you have been wronged, I have the same experience as you, I can understand your feelings." Cry, cry out a little better. Delia threw herself into Elena's arms as if she had found a support, and she couldn't suppress her grievances for so long, and she cried 'wow'.
Elena was similar not long ago, she still remembered how Hongshang comforted herself at that time, so she learned Hongshang's big sister-like tone, and gently patted Delia's back while softly soothing.
Delia's appearance is not outstanding, but she has the pure temperament of the girl next door, and she looks quite likable, but she will not let those brothels send people over and over again, Qingfeng is extremely puzzled by this.
After waiting for a while, Delia stopped crying and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, only to find that her tears had wet Elena's beautiful clothes, and hurriedly said sorry while taking out a handkerchief to help Elena wipe it, secretly blaming herself for being too presumptuous, she couldn't afford such a beautiful dress.
Elena grabbed Delia's little hand and shook her head and said, "It's okay, don't wipe it." ”
Qingfeng opened his mouth and asked, "Delia, I'm curious, why are those brothels so interested in you?"
Seeing that Delia's eyes were soaked with tears again, Qingfeng waved his hand again and again and said: "I'm just curious, I don't mean anything else, if you don't want to say it, forget it, don't cry anymore, let people hear it and think that we have done something to you." ”
After Delia sobbed a few times, she glanced at the three of Qingfeng, hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and whispered, "I can see that you are not bad people, so I will tell you." Here's the thing, after my father died, my mother's illness became more and more serious, and the family didn't have any money at that time, not even the money to buy medicine for my mother, and I didn't want to lose my mother again, so I secretly went out to find a job, planning to make money to treat my mother. At first, I got a job weaving, and although the salary was not much, I could still save a little money to support my mother and me. The first two months were peaceful, but in the third month, Simmons, the son of the owner of the weaving workshop, did not know how to go to the factory, and I happened to meet the woven cloth, and when Simmons saw me, he came to me every day, and said that as long as I stayed with him for a month, he would give me five gold coins to help my mother heal. I didn't agree, but he still came to harass me every day, and his attitude became worse and worse, and sometimes he did something to me, I couldn't afford to mess with them, so I had to quit my job, and I didn't get my last month's salary. But this Simmons refused to let me go, and every day he went outside my house to mess around, and I couldn't bear my mother to be disturbed by these villains, so I went out to reason with them, and the neighbors also came out to help, and finally drove these nasty guys away. But after that, no matter where I went to find work, no one would want to hire me, even if I asked for less pay, and later, Simmons came to me and said that if I didn't agree to stay with him for a month, I would let me see my mother die. I still refused, and Simmons was angry, and he said that even if I regretted it in the future, he would not ask me to accompany him again, and he would make me a whore who could do his best. So, from where it wasn't long, it wasn't long before someone came to me, either as a hired mercenary, or as someone from those brothels sent directly. Fortunately, President Jesse took me in because of his friendship with his father and let me work here, and that Simmons didn't dare to offend President Jesse, and few people have been harassing me anymore lately. ”
Listening to Delia's words, Qingfeng asked curiously, "That Simmons is very powerful?"
Delia nodded affirmatively and said, "Well, his father is very rich, and their family has three weaving factories and two cloth shops, and this Simmons seems to be familiar with the owners of other shops or workshops. "Three weaving factories and two cloth shops, Qingfeng rolled his eyes, if they are all very rich, then what should these people be considered to be very rich?
Feng smiled disdainfully, and then said to Delia, "How is your mother's illness, and how much does it take to be cured?"
Delia said with a gloomy face: "Mother's illness is still the same, the doctor said that it needs a long time of rest and recuperation, I heard that there is a kind of cultivator who strengthens the essence of Peiyuan's elixir and has great benefits for my mother's illness, but the doctor didn't tell me, I know, that kind of thing is not something I can afford." ”
Qingfeng smiled and said, "Do you want to make more money to treat your mother?" Delia knew that Qingfeng and they were not sent by the brothel, and now that Qingfeng asked, she was a little confused.
Elena took Delia's hand and said, "We want you to give us a job, and the pay is absolutely good, much more than you are here, I can guarantee this." ”
Delia was overjoyed when she heard this, but after a moment she asked vigilantly, "What kind of work?" (to be continued......
