"Childe, I'm not a fugitive slave, I was tricked to Wanhualou by bad guys!" the girl hurriedly defended.

"Shut up!" shouted the big man who was carrying the girl, obviously not wanting the girl to say too much.

Chu Chen still knows a little about the Qinglou, this dirty place is mostly forced to be prostitutes, and this little girl obviously belongs to this category.

"Let her go and take me to your boss. Chu Chen looked at the big man carrying the girl and said lightly.

Hearing Chu Chen's words, and seeing that Chu Chen had been calm, although he didn't look like a son-in-law, but with the eyes of the people they had trained in the Qinglou, they felt that Chu Chen should not be an ordinary person, after the four of them glanced at each other, the big man put the little girl down, but grabbed the little girl's shoulder, obviously afraid that the little girl would run away again.

Chu Chen walked past several people and walked in the direction of Wanhualou, and the four big men surrounded the little girl in the middle and followed behind Chu Chen.

Seeing this little girl, Chu Chen didn't know why, he suddenly thought of Yan Ran and Sister Su, so he wanted to save this little girl, perhaps, because he thought that Yan Ran and Sister Su were also so desperate......

It didn't take long for Chu Chen to come to the front of Wanhua Building, and when he arrived at the door, he saw that on the door and the balcony on the second floor, many scantily dressed women were waving the silk handkerchiefs in their hands there, and shouting coquettishly to the men who passed by;

As soon as he entered the Qinglou, he saw that it was so lively inside, shouting, applauding, and singing endlessly, Chu Chen glanced at the hall lightly, and followed the three big men to a room, and after a while, an old bustard who looked like he was in his forties, dressed in fancy clothes, and dressed in revealing clothes walked in, followed by the big man who had just left to report the news.

"Oh, little boy, do you want to redeem this girl?" As soon as the old bustard came in, he scratched his head and gestured, and his voice was similar to that of the woman who was soliciting customers outside.

"How much?" Chu Chen sat there, glanced at the old bustard, and asked lightly.

"Little boy, my girl is still a yellow flower girl...... "The old bustard was about to give Chu Chen a good reckoning, but Chu Chen directly interrupted her words and said, "How much!"

"Fifty thousand taels!" the old bustard smiled and stretched out a slap.

Chu Chen glanced at the old bustard again, 50,000 taels? It is estimated that this little girl will not earn 50,000 taels in this Qinglou for a lifetime, but money is nothing to Chu Chen, he took out five silver tickets with a face value of 10,000 taels from his body and put them on the coffee table next to him, and said lightly: "Bring the deed of sale." ”

The old bustard grabbed the silver ticket on the coffee table, and after carefully identifying it, he happily said to Chu Chen: "Son, wait a minute, I'll go get the deed of sale, Childe, wait a minute!"

The old bustard went out, and after a while, he came in again, and respectfully handed the little girl's deed of sale to Chu Chen, Chu Chen took a look, and after confirming that it was not fake, he stood up, took the girl's hand, and walked out of the door.

"Childe walks slowly, Childe often comes to play!" The old bustard's voice came from behind, and Chu Chenli didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Not far from the Qinglou, when Chu Chen let go of the girl's hand, the girl knelt on the ground with a "poof", kowtowed to Chu Chen, and said, "Thank you for saving your life, thank you for saving your life!"

"Get up, I'll find you an inn to stay in first, and tomorrow I'll leave Luojun City and go back to my hometown." Chu Chen picked up the girl and spoke.

"Childe, I don't have a home anymore, and my family has been killed by bad people. The girl suddenly choked up and said, "Since Childe bought me, I will be Childe's person in the future, please don't drive me away." ”

"Then you can come with me. Chu Chen frowned slightly and spoke. This girl is now alone, if she is allowed to leave alone, in this troubled world, it is estimated that she will not live long, she is a girl, it is estimated that she will die worse than the man.

"Thank you, Childe!" As soon as the girl heard that Chu Chen was no longer driving her away, she immediately thanked Chu Chen and obediently followed behind Chu Chen.

Leaving the main street and coming to a quieter street, Chu Chen asked, "What is your name?

"Hui Gongzi, the little woman's name is Zhao Ling'er, she is from Xiyang County, my family was killed by the collusion between bad people and officials, Ling'er wanted to avenge her father and mother, and was ready to go to Beijing to sue the royal court, but she was deceived by the bad guys halfway and arrived here. Zhao Ling'er answered Chu Chen's question 1510.

Chu Chen nodded and asked, "What will you do?"

Although Ling'er is not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she has been doing business and settling accounts with her father since she was a child. Zhao Linger replied respectfully.

"Oh?" Chu Chen couldn't help but glance at Zhao Ling'er, he didn't expect that she would do this, which made Chu Chen a little surprised.

"Don't you believe it?" Zhao Ling'er asked with a wide blink.

"Believe. Chu Chen smiled and nodded, "You tell me, what business will you do?"

"Returning to my son, three generations of my family have made a living by selling tea, rice grain, medicinal materials, silk, etc., and it is also a well-known ...... in Xiyang County" said to do business, Zhao Linger seemed to have come to the spirit, counting the types of goods her family handled, and told the story.

"Haha, it seems that the deity has picked up a treasure. Hearing Zhao Ling'er methodically tell about the business her family did, Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh in his heart, he wanted to form his own forces, no money is absolutely impossible, this Zhao Ling'er was born in a merchant family, and has followed her father since she was a child, he believes that Zhao Ling'er will definitely be a good hand at business in the future, and 50,000 taels to buy a daughter who understands business, no loss!

"Ling'er, in the future, you follow Ben Gongzi, as long as you do things for Ben Gongzi wholeheartedly, Ben Gongzi promises you that those bad people who kill your family, Ben Gongzi will personally let people arrest you and let you deal with them. Chu Chen said.

"Ling'er worships Gongzi Xie!" Hearing Chu Chen's words, Zhao Ling'er walked quickly, came to Chu Chen, knelt in front of Chu Chen with a 'poof' sound, and kowtowed to Chu Chen.

"Get up, remember my words, don't kowtow to me, this son is not dead yet. Chu Chen was helpless in his heart, but he pretended to be a little angry on his face.

"Yes, Ling'er won't dare next time. Seeing that Chu Chen was angry, Zhao Ling'er hurriedly got up and admitted his mistake.

"It's good if you don't dare. Chu Chen nodded with satisfaction and continued to walk forward.

Li Ao had already returned to his residence, at this time, he was walking in the courtyard in a regular manner, and when he saw Chu Chen enter the door, there was a girl who was about the same age as them behind him, and suddenly he was like seeing a strange thing, as soon as he put away the horse step, put the bucket away, rushed to Chu Chen, and said with an exaggerated expression: "Big brother, why did you abduct a woman and come back?"

"This is Zhao Ling'er, I saved it on the road, Ling'er will live in the same attic as you in the future, you go to clean up a room and come out, I remember that you bought an extra quilt last time, send it to Ling'er, Ling'er estimates that he hasn't had dinner yet, you go outside to buy some food for Ling'er and come back, don't take a horse tonight." Chu Chen gave Li Ao a roll of his eyes, and then introduced to Zhao Ling'er: "Ling'er, this is Li Ao, let him do any rough and heavy work in the future, this kid is very good at rhetoric, don't be deceived by him." ”

"Eh, big brother, how can you say that about me in front of other girls?" Hearing Chu Chen's words, Li Ao immediately stopped doing it, but all Chu Chen left him was his back.
