Chapter 094 Assassination
Shao Shuhuan looked at the woman carefully. She was about forty years old and had a face full of vegetables. In such a cold weather, she was only wearing thin clothes, kneeling on the ground, trembling, and not looking like a human trafficker. When she heard her tell the value of her two children, he was not only surprised, but only one child sold ten taels of silver? Thinking that he would eat bird's nest ginseng every day, and it would cost at least one tael of silver to light incense in the room every day, which was really luxurious.
"You ask those two children to look up and let me see!" Shao Shuhuan frowned.
"Yes..." the woman agreed repeatedly and said, "Big Niu Erniu, please let this young master see..."
The two children were so old that they looked like they were only five or six years old. They looked up timidly when they heard this. Shao Shuhuan sighed. The two children were so thin that they were covered with bones. They had a pale face and thin skin. They looked like they were malnourished.
"Master, you won't want to buy them two, right?" Xiao Qi asked.
"What, is there any problem?" Shao Shuhuan asked in confusion.
"Master, all the servants in our house must find out their identity, otherwise, the master will not agree!" Xiao Qi frowned, "Besides, our family is not short of people."
Shao Shuhuan thought for a while and nodded, "Since that's the case, let's forget it!"
When the woman heard this, she was anxious and hurriedly kowtowed, "Young master is very kind. Our family really can't even eat. The two children are starving to death when they go back. You can just give them a few dollars and take them... The two children - eight taels of silver..."
The two children only sold eight taels of silver? Shao Shuhuan was really moved. It turned out that he thought it was a child of ten taels, but now he realized that this woman said that two children were ten taels, but now he heard that he didn't want it, but he actually only had eight taels?
"Give her a few taels of silver and let him go back and live!" Shao Shuhuan sighed. Since the Shao Mansion has strict requirements on selecting slaves, he cannot break the rules. Besides, there are indeed enough servants in the Shao Mansion. There are more than a dozen maids serving in his room. So far, he still doesn't know how many of them are, and there are more servants outside and guarding the hospital.
There are so many people who serve him alone, and it is really hard to say that they have to buy someone back.
After hearing this, Xiao Qi took out two taels of silver from his purse and handed it to the woman and said, "Forget it, go back and buy some food for the child."
The woman took the silver and kowtowed to thank him. Shao Shuhuan was about to walk away when suddenly a person next to her bumped into him. The servants were shocked and instinctively protected him. But the street was narrow, and now that Shao Shuhuan was squeezed to the side of the woman and the two children. Suddenly, a bright dagger appeared in the woman's hand and stabbed him hard at Shao Shuhuan's waist.
Shao Shuhuan was shocked. He never expected that such a sudden change would happen. The woman who had just had a pitiful need to buy a child suddenly became an assassin who killed him?
Seeing the dagger stabbed towards his waist, he was no longer anxious to dodge, so he could only tuck her wrist with his backhand. However, unexpectedly, the woman's strength was surprisingly strong, and her original situation remained unchanged, and she stabbed towards Shao Shuhuan.
Shao Shuhuan smiled helplessly. He was really lucky and could be assassinated when he walked around the street...
However, before a moment of thought, the woman's dagger suddenly stopped halfway. A man in black blocked in front of Shao Shuhuan like a ghost, and his two fingers pinched the dagger in her hand.
Seeing that the assassination failed, the woman suddenly dropped her dagger, flew up and kicked the man in black. At the same time, she turned around in the air and was about to escape.
"I still want to leave?" the man in black sneered, and then a silver light flashed by with his hands. The woman was like a deflated ball, and her whole body became soft.
In an instant, the whole street became chaotic, and someone shouted in a mess: "A death happened...a death happened..."
In the chaos, the generals were afraid that something would happen again, so they were busy protecting Shao Shuhuan. The crowd couldn't help but disperse to both sides. Some timids had already avoided them from afar, and the bold ones stood not far away, watching secretly.
Shao Shuhuan You looked around and suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd not far away. His heart trembled and he thought to himself: "Is it him?"
"Young Master is okay?" The man in black walked to the woman, grabbed her clothes, lifted her up from the ground, slapped her twice, and sneered, "Don't pretend to be dead!"
The woman opened her eyes and stared at the man in black.
Shao Shuhuan looked at the man in black. He had an ordinary and medium figure and extremely ordinary appearance before, but it was obvious that he knew him and was not from the Shao Mansion.
All the servants in Shao's mansion called him "San Master", and only those outside called him "Young Master" or something else.
"Thank you for your help!" Shao Shuhuan thanked the man in black with the servants guarding the courtyard.
"Young master, please be polite!" the man in black said lightly, "It is a small responsibility to protect the young master! But what should I do with this person?" As he said that, he pointed at the woman.
Shao Shuhuan looked around and saw the two children hiding in the corner, trembling and frowning slightly. He immediately asked the two servants to bring the two children over with an intention of asking questions, but unexpectedly the two children just knelt on the ground and trembled, and couldn't say a word.
Shao Shuhuan thought to himself, could it be that the two children were bought or hired by the woman? Anyway, no matter how you look at them, these two children are not like killers, but they are afraid that they will misunderstand and look like that woman, they don’t look like killers.
"Who are you, why did you assassinate me?" Shao Shuhuan looked up and asked the woman.
The woman was restrained by the man in black. She gasped for two hard times, then coughed continuously. The man in black kicked her and snorted coldly, "Don't pretend to be dead, answer the question honestly, otherwise you will suffer."
"Yes..." the woman agreed and suddenly said, "Young master, the young man has no choice but to beg for mercy... to spare the young man?" As she said that, she struggled to lie on the ground and kept kowtowing.
Shao Shuhuan and the man in black were stunned, but suddenly, the woman raised her head and spit out two silver wires, and was running to Shao Shuhuan's face. The man in black was standing behind the woman, but Shao Shuhuan was in front of the woman. In this way, there was no hurry to help. Shao Shuhuan was busy leaning back and wanted to dodge the iron bridge. Unexpectedly, a guard suddenly hugged him, and the silver wire was barely shot on his back.
The body of the yard stiffened and then slowly fell down. The servants were busy trying to rescue him, but where could there be any rescue?
"Stop, don't leave!" Suddenly the man in black shouted. The man had already arrived on the opposite wall. At the same time, a figure flashed under the eaves, and the man in black and the other person had disappeared.
When Shao Shuhuan looked at it, he saw that the woman had fallen to the ground and died, with a black face, and thought she had been poisoned.
"Shuhuan, don't pay attention to that... Come to the carriage and leave it to your servant for handling!" Suddenly, Gu Shaoshang's voice came from Shao Shuhuan's ears.
