Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty-Three: Deed of Sale
Zhang Wanxun paused, nodded vigorously, and glanced at Zhou Yi'an.
"Take good care of your uncle and try not to get involved. I will go to Shuntian Mansion now."
As he said that, he turned around and left, and Zhou Yian looked at the body.
"Ziping, you are here, I'll go upstairs and take a look."
As he said that, he rushed upstairs in three steps in two steps, inside the room directly opposite the broken railing on the second floor.
Around a bunch of people, Miss Su Wu pinched the neck of a charming woman with one hand, and surrounded by several men, holding sticks in her hands, looking vicious.
At the innermost side of the room, Qiu Niang held a dagger in her hand and pressed it against her neck. Blood flowed down her fair neck, looking determined.
Zhou Heng and Boss Xue stood on the outside. When they saw Zhou Yian, they paused. They thought that he had finished the work of Dali Temple and went back and forth to Chuntang, but they had no time to say hello at this moment.
Miss Su Wu shouted at Qiu Niang with anxious expression:
"If you put down your knife, everything is easy to discuss. It's either they say anything. If you put a sign or a sign, it's not like selling yourself here. We will testify to you."
Qiu Niang shook her head, looking determined, and she couldn't listen at all. Zhou Heng asked anxiously:
"Qiu Niang told me what was going on?"
Qiu Niang glanced at Zhou Heng, her tight lips trembled slightly.
Two lines of hot tears rolled down on his firm face instantly, Zhou Heng's heart trembled, he could feel Qiu Niang's desire to die, Su Xiaoxiao stomped her feet and said:
"If you don't say it, I'll tell you. The madam secretly pretended to be a contract for selling the body. It contained her father's handwriting and Qiu Niang's handprints. She fed Qiu Niang last night and sent her medicine to the buyer. Qiu Niang woke up on the road and ran away while the person was unprepared.
However, her father was tied outside by someone from Xiaoxiang Pavilion and wanted to be beaten to death. She had no choice but to fall into the trap. I happened to see him. I chased him back and wanted to stop him. Qiu Niang's father didn't want to drag Qiu Niang down, so he jumped down from the building."
Zhou Heng understood instantly, raised his hand to comfort Qiu Niang:
"Don't worry, put the knife down and ask me, you still owe me my life-saving grace. How could you die like this before you repay the grace?"
Qiu Niang shook her body and shook her head at Zhou Heng.
"Doctor Zhou, don't worry about it. You can't control this matter. They have a high status and you can't compete with them."
Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at the madam, the boss of Xiaoxiang Pavilion. No matter how capable he has, he cannot do such a thing. Is there anyone behind him who controls it?
Su Xiaoxiao was anxious and pinched the madam's neck hard and shook it hard.
"Why are you pretending to be mute? What's going on? Don't you say it?"
Although the madam was strangled, she was not afraid at all. She widened her eyes and shouted:
"Damn girl, you strangle me to death. Let me see, who can kill people in this capital is a casual way to kill people in the street. Although we are the inferior madam, we are also a cheap man. If you kill me, you will not be able to do anything."
Zhou Heng pulled Su Xiaoxiao's sleeve and signaled her to let go.
Although the madam would not be strangled to death, if she left scars, some things would be difficult to explain clearly.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her, but she did as Zhou Heng asked, letting go of the madam's neck and pulling her collar, but she still refused to let her escape from her control.
The madam spat, gasped for a few times before continuing:
"As for Begonia, don't say that I forged the sale contract. Her father sold someone to us and paid off his gambling debt. How could he get the money and still want to repent? Don't cheat others. Your trick was played with me twenty years ago. There are all white and black words and handprints. I'm right to tell the truth."
Zhou Heng grabbed Su Xiaoxiao who was about to get angry, looked at the madam and asked:
"Why did Qiu Niang feel so confused last night? Since she was selling herself, why didn't she know?"
The madam stared at Zhou Heng like a fool.
"Are you stupid? If you buy a daughter, you still have to agree? Her father knew that she was very handsome and had other thoughts in his heart, so he said that he could send it directly, and he would pay the money and call someone at the same time."
Boss Xue pointed to the door and said:
"Don't say it's useless. Her father is dead. You're pushing everything on the dead, right?"
The madam sneered, raised her hand to straighten her hair on her temples, and pushed away Su Xiaoxiao's hand. This time, Su Xiaoxiao was not taking action.
"I'm going to tell you, there's no need for this. If it weren't for him selling it, wouldn't we cause trouble? Besides, why would he be determined to die?"
The madam tidied up her collar, and Zhou Heng had to admit that the madam was telling the truth. If she just lied to write a contract for selling her body, she would either report to the official or ask for help, at least she would have a chance to try it. Now that she is like this, looking at Qiu Niang's decisive look, it seems that she has seen through it, her father sold her.
The madam smiled at Zhou Heng. Although Fenghua was not there, it could be seen that this man was also a beauty when he was young.
"Although this Xiaoxiang Pavilion seems to be a place of art, we are just a group of bitches, whether it is a low-ranking or an official prostitute, even if it is a sign, you will be a prostitute for a whole life after coming here for a day. If you want to die, I won't stop you. If someone didn't like you, I wouldn't want to buy you."
Qiu Niang grabbed the dagger's hand and raised it again, and Su Xiaoxiao became anxious.
"How stupid are you? How much money did you sell? I'll help you redeem yourself. Why do you want to die!"
Qiu Niang shook her head and looked at the madam with a hint of understanding.
"Since it's this face that causes trouble, then it's ruined."
As he said that, the dagger instantly slashed two deep slashes on his cheek, and blood gushed out instantly. Qiu Niang seemed to feel the pain, and the dagger moved down again and placed it on her neck.
"You are right. People have their own lives. They were picked up by their adoptive father since childhood. They raised me for eighteen years and survived. Even if they sold me, I can't blame him. Then I will give him my life back. Thank you Miss Su and Doctor Zhou, and you will repay your kindness in the next life."
Zhou Heng raised his hand and stopped Qiu Niang's actions.
"Can you listen to me?"
Qiu Niang didn't move anymore. Zhou Heng glanced at the madam and pulled Su Xiaoxiao behind him.
Although Su Xiaoxiao was a little dissatisfied, she didn't say anything. After all, she had no good idea. Qiu Niang was determined to die, and the old madam said it very well.
Zhou Heng looked at the madam and said:
"When you open the door to do business, no one wants to cause trouble, they all want to make money with kindness, right?"
“This is nature.”
"We can admit what Qiu Niang's father did. It's not your or my business to commit suicide by selling her daughter. I don't care whether you find a good home or someone instructs you. We can ignore all the previous things."
The madam seemed to want to argue something, Zhou Heng raised his hand and said with a smile:
"Don't rush to argue, they are all smart people. It's boring to say that it's too white. How much does her father sell her? I'll compensate you. This page will be turned over. Otherwise, the government will come to check it. Needless to say, it's okay to ask the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to seal it for ten days and half a month first. I think your losses are not something that can be sold for Qiu Niang's money, right?"
The madam narrowed her eyes and looked up and down at Zhou Heng.
"Are you a doctor? No, is the boss of Huichuntang?"
Zhou Heng nodded, "I'll take a look at the contract for sale. How much money will I pay you?"
The madam glanced at Qiuniang, "But they want someone, what should I do?"
Zhou Heng smiled, "I think you have a way to do this business. Besides, Qiu Niang's face has been ruined. Do you want her arms and legs to break, so that she can't play and dance, so she will be willing to give up? Or it's a cold body, I think you can't explain it even more, right?"
At the end of the day, the smile on Zhou Heng's face was already chilling.
The madam looked at Zhou Heng and quickly opened her eyes. The look was so scary, even more scary than that one.
After a little pause, he said:
"Qiu Niang's father got 1,000 taels of silver, and sold his body to me, and I will give it to you when I see the money."
Zhou Heng waved his hand behind him, "Boss Xue went to the counter to get the silver."
Boss Xue gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and turned downstairs, and took back a bunch of silver notes in a moment. Zhou Heng held the silver notes, and the madam knew it. He quickly took out a contract for selling his body from his cuffs. Zhou Heng took it and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao.
“Look at it!”
