Chapter 96: Two Little Masters
In the Bitter Alley, Zhou Qing left such a message.
He was willing to buy a group of women between the ages of fourteen and twenty to go home as slaves at the price of ten taels of gold, and if he was willing to sign the deed, he could go to the Sheraton Inn to find him in seven days.
In this world, the slave trade was legal, and the people living in the Bitter Alley were basically poor people, so ten taels of gold was a lot for them.
left the news of the purchase of a slave girl in a high-profile manner in the Bitter Alley, and Zhou Qing went back to the inn and waited quietly.
Of course, the words he left behind were also quickly spread throughout the county, ten taels of gold each, buying young women to go home as slaves, and many poor families who were not living well were willing to sell their daughters.
At the same time, there is no doubt about Zhou Qing's words, and the people in the county town have no doubts, because when he went to the bitter man alley, someone in the alley recognized him.
On the street, he overturned the four guards of Ouyang Mansion and earned two hundred taels of gold.
As soon as the news that Zhou Qing wanted to buy a young woman to go home as a slave spread in this county, many people began to talk about it in private.
In a porridge shop in the west of Wei'an County, there are two young masters sitting in the bunk with sad faces and drinking rice porridge.
One of the two little masters looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and the other was a little older, about eighteen or nineteen.
"Senior sister, you can eat a little more, as the saying goes, people are iron and rice is steel, how can you do it without eating. The older one comforted the other younger one.
The name of the teacher who spoke was Hui Ci, a little master in the Shuiyue Nunnery in the west of the city, and her sister was called Hui Jing, who was the little master who Zhou Qing saved on the way to Wei'an County not long ago.
After being rescued by Zhou Qing, this little master Huijing returned to the Shuiyue Nunnery, and her senior sister Huici was too sad, so she was locked up in the Shuiyue Nunnery for several days to hang her dead teacher.
After the first seven days, today the two sisters left the Water Moon Nunnery and came to the county seat to buy some items.
While the two sisters were drinking porridge, two more middle-aged men came to the porridge stall, they were dressed in short beatings, and their bodies were dirty, obviously Liba who was doing heavy physical work.
"Boss, let's have two bowls of porridge with minced shallots and meat, each with a braised egg and a small amount of sour horn vegetables. ”
"Okay, you wait a minute, you'll be right here. ”
The owner of the porridge shop answered, and then went to prepare porridge for the two Liba, who sat at the table and began to discuss.
"Brother Ma, in the Sheraton Inn in the north of the city, someone bought a female slave girl for ten taels of gold, have you heard?"
"I heard yesterday that that person seems to have helped the Ouyang family get rid of evil spirits and received a reward of two hundred taels of gold, so he wants to buy a batch of female slaves in our county and bring them back. ”
"Yes, ten taels of gold, are you tempted?"
"Who doesn't want to be impressed? Ten taels of gold is a lot, but it's a pity that I only have one son, and if there are multiple girls, I may consider selling it." Speaking of this, Liba, who was called Brother Ma, looked at the people around him and asked, "No, Liuzi, listen to your words, are you planning to sell your daughter?"
"We are a family of six, just pointing to my work, weekdays are hard haha, now there is such a good opportunity, last night I discussed with our mother-in-law, planning to send the little daughter to see in a few days, whether people are willing to buy it or not. ”
......
The words of the two Liba all reached the ears of the two masters who were eating porridge on the side.
"Senior sister, you go back to the nunnery first after eating, I still have some things, and I will go back later. After taking a few sips of the porridge in the bowl, Hui Ci patted her junior sister, and then got up and left.
From the words of the two Liba just now, when it came to her senior sister's current behavior, Hui Jing naturally knew what her senior sister was going to do, so she didn't say much, just drank the porridge silently, and then went back to Shuiyue Nunnery.
After leaving the porridge shop, Hui Ci walked around the county for an afternoon, inquired about Zhou Qing's preparation to buy slaves from the side, and returned to Shuiyue Nunnery after dark.
"Senior sister, how are you inquiring?" After her senior sister came back, Hui Jing asked.
"It's not a big deal, it seems that he is a person with a little skill, who helped Ouyang Mansion solve some strange things, and then got two hundred taels of gold, he wants to use those two hundred taels of gold to buy a batch of female slaves who are willing to sign and sell the deed to go back. ”
"This can't make him wish, exchange the money and silver in our county for the young daughter's body, and I don't know if he really bought it as a slave or if he has other plans. ”
"You're right, junior sister. Hui Ci answered, and said, "I have inquired clearly, and the man lives at the Sheraton Inn in the north of the city, so we will go and steal his gold tonight, and see what he will use to buy a slave girl." ”
After hearing this, Hui Jing nodded again and again, agreeing with her senior sister's opinion.
Obviously, in this Wei'an County, the thief who is called 'Jun Doesn't Know' is the little master in this Shuiyue Nunnery.
And the so-called Grand Thief doesn't know that it is not one person, but the two sisters, every time there is a theft from the rich gentry's house in the city, the two of them act together.
Of course, in addition to themselves, this secret is only known to their master, and for a long time, their master has not asked too much, but just pretended not to know, so the reputation of the king is getting more and more famous in this county.
If the two sisters want to chase this thing, they have to start from five years ago.
Five years ago, they went to the county town with their master to do good deeds, and encountered a bully landlord who forcibly occupied the cattle of farmers on the edge of the county.
Since the two sisters had been practicing martial arts since childhood, they saw that the farmer was pitiful and decided to stand up for him.
That night, the two sisters entered the landlord's house with their good martial arts, stole a lot of his money, and stuffed most of it into the window of the farmer's house.
The result was naturally very happy, and from this incident, the two sisters did what they thought was chivalrous in the county.
As for the name 'you don't know', there is also an allusion.
The Shuiyue Nunnery appeared in Wei'an County more than 100 years ago, and the builder of this Shuiyue Nunnery was called Wuning Shitai, whose father was a thief who called himself 'Jun Don't Know'.
Later, he was caught in the process of a theft, tortured to death by cramps and bones, and his daughter ran to this Wei'an county with her belongings and built this Shuiyue Nunnery.
After performing several righteous deeds in the city, the two sisters Hui Ci and Hui Jing adopted the name used by their patriarch's father.
It is precisely because of the origin of Shuiyue Nunnery that although the master of the two of them knew that their apprentice was doing righteous deeds in the county, they did not ask a word.
Therefore, there is a thief in Wei'an County.
However, in the minds of the people in the county, they basically think that Jun is not a man, who would have thought that Jun is not only not a man, but also not a person.
