Chapter 475: Searching the Home (Part 1)
When Xue Rengui arrived, Mr. Gong and Mr. Kang were already in the house.
The first time two honest men saw a high-ranking official like Li Hao, they stood there and looked ruthless. Even if someone brought them a chair, they did not dare to sit. It was not until they saw Xue Rengui coming in that the expression on his face became more normal.
Li Hao sat helplessly in the main seat, and Cheng Yinyin looked at him with a funny look on his face.
Seeing Xue Rengui, he also met the savior, pointed at Mr. Gong and said, "Rengui, I'll leave it to you, you can see and deal with it."
"No!" Xue Rengui responded in confusion and turned to look at the two fellow villagers: "Brother Gong, this brother, the two are here in Yin Ye, but what's the point?"
"This... Ren... General Xue, I'm ashamed. Gong came here shamelessly today because he wanted to ask for your help." It was probably because he rarely asked for help on weekdays. After saying this, Mr. Gong's face turned red as if he was something.
Kang Laosan stood aside and opened his mouth several times, but in the end he couldn't speak. He thought he was afraid that he would not have enough face and would bump into the noble person if he spoke rashly.
Xue Rengui was used to this situation and smiled slightly: "Two brothers, we were originally fellow villagers, and Mr. Hou was not an outsider. It's okay if you two have something to say, so you don't have to be so polite."
"Yes, yes, the general said." Kang Laosan thought it was because of his conscience. Before he could speak, he took the initiative to say: "General Xue, in fact, we came today mainly because of the villain. Brother Gong is righteous and has no news about his wife and daughter for several months, so he came with a life-saving jade pendant and wanted to ask Mr. Hou and the general to help ask the second master of the Zhu family in Longmen County where the villain is now."
Listening to Kang Laosan speak of Mr. Zhu, Cheng Yinyin said angrily: "Sir, Mr. Zhu?! Which is the second master of the Zhu family? In front of Brother Dejian, his surname is Zhu, is his worthy of being called Master?"
Kang Laosan is a small coolie at the dock of Longmen County. He has never seen a noble lady like Cheng Yinyin. As soon as she spoke, she immediately knocked the honest man back to her true form. The courage she mustered was instantly vented, and she lowered her head and said no more.
"Yinyin." Li Hao shook Yao's head to the point where he wanted to continue, played with the jade pendant and said in harmony: "Brother Kang, right?"
Kang Laosan quickly bent down: "I dare not, Master Hou called him a villain and said, "
Li Hao smiled dismissively and did not force anything. He asked directly: "Brother Kang's family was kidnapped by people from the Zhu family in Longmen County?"
"No, no." Kang Laosan shook his head repeatedly and explained: "Count it, a few months ago, the villain's wife and daughter sold their lives to the Zhu Mansion to raise money to extend the life of the villain... The villain inquired from many sources and knew that it seemed to be Zhu, Zhu..."
"Zhu Shi, the second son of the Master Zhu family." Seeing that Kang Lao San couldn't explain clearly for a while, Mr. Gong was afraid that Li Hao would be bored, so he helped explain: "When Mr. Hou, the wife of the Kang family and his daughter sold themselves to the Zhu family, he heard that it was the money paid by Mr. Zhu's second son."
Li Hao suddenly realized and nodded, "Oh, then you are here to find Rengui, are you trying to redeem them?"
"No, no." Kang Laosan saw that Li Hao had misunderstood, waved his hand and said, "Little Man, the Little Man just wants to know some news about their mother and see how they live now. The Little Man is incompetent and cannot even have a full meal. Although life in the Zhu family will be harder, it is much better than following the Little Man."
As he spoke, Kang Laosan's five-foot man's eyes turned red, and his voice was filled with indescribable sadness and bitterness.
As a woman, Cheng Yinyin is much more sensitive than Li Hao in this kind of thing. In addition, she has a hot temper. After hearing Kang Laosan’s statement, her mentality suddenly exploded. Regardless of Li Hao’s obstruction, she pointed at Kang Laosan and said.
"You are worthy of calling a man. To save you, your woman will sell herself to others. You don't want to save her and let her live a better life. Instead, she will let her compromise and continue to commit herself to others. You..., get out of this lady, I will be annoyed when I see someone like you."
Li Hao looked at Kang Laosan with a gloomy face, waiting for his reaction.
In some ways, he agrees with Cheng Yinyin's point of view very much and agrees with his three views.
Men have the responsibility and obligation to take good care of their women, and inability to do so cannot be an excuse to sacrifice them.
Especially in this era when marrying a chicken and following a dog, a woman is willing to marry you, which means she is ready to entrust her entire life to you.
In this case, incompetence and other things are all excuses to evade responsibility. If you can’t make money by selling your coolies, you can sell yourself. If you can’t make money by selling your body, you can steal, rob, and rebel.
Yes, these examples are illegal, immoral, and wrong, but before you die, at least you are a qualified husband, a qualified father, and not a coward in the eyes of the world.
Men can be injured, die, or even fall into a virginity, but you must be worthy of those who believe in you and entrust everything to you.
Otherwise, living will only waste food, so it is better to die directly and come happily.
Yes, maybe some people will say that even if such a person dies, his family will be shamed and will suffer.
But thinking about it the other way around, will the family members who are living in a cowardly manner be no longer shameful? Will they sell themselves as slaves?
What exactly does people live for? Do they live for food, or do they eat for life?
In the depressed environment, the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Kang Laosan's breathing became heavier and his eyes became redder.
Finally, he couldn't help it anymore and roared like crazy: "Yes, I'm a coward, I'm not a man, I shouldn't be sick, I shouldn't let them sell themselves to the Zhu family. But I have any solutions, I couldn't even move at that time, I wanted to fight my best, and I also wanted to snatch them back.
But is this possible! Is it possible?! The Zhu family is in great power and has countless slaves. I die alone and die if I die. But what should they do? I can't let the mother and mother suffer because of a moment of impulse. I can't, I can't!
Brother Gong, I'm sorry for you. I shouldn't have let you come with me. It's me who implicated you. I, I'm not a human, I..."
Looking at the hysterical Kang Laosan, Xue Rengui protected Li Hao behind him without any trace. After thinking about it, he was afraid that Li Hao would be stimulated, which would be detrimental to Mr. Gong in the end, so he said carefully: "General, this matter..."
Li Hao shook his head at this time and said to him with a smile: "It's okay, let him vent his anger. If you can't breathe, you'll get a problem sooner or later. In addition, let the people outside do whatever they should do, and those who have nothing to do will have a rest early, and tomorrow... I will take them to search the house."
‘Swish’
Mr. Gong, who was always paying attention to Li Hao's movements, suddenly turned pale.
If he had been worried before, he would be angry about Kang Laosan's sudden crazyness, now his heart almost jumped into his throat and blurted out: "Corrupt...Search the house?!"
"Is it a surprise? Brother Gong, don't you think this jade pendant can only be used to enter the door?" Li Hao held the jade pendant in the air and shook it, and asked with a smile: "How about it, do you regret being so careless and using it out of one chance?"
How could Boss Gong not regret it?
But now, it is too late to say that I regret it. I can only bit my back teeth and the skinny donkey shit: "No, I don't regret it."
"Haha..." Looking at the struggle in Mr. Gong's eyes, Li Hao continued to shake the jade pendant with some amusement, as if he thought it was fun.
In the end, Cheng Yinyin couldn't bear to see it, so she snatched the jade pendant from him and threw it to the shocked boss Gong: "Take it, my brother Dejian's things are very expensive. Don't take it out easily if there is no big deal of collapse."
"Uh, yes, that..., thank you, Miss, thank you." The loss of jade pendant was an unexpected surprise for Boss Gong. Although he didn't know Cheng Yinyin's identity, he still thanked him repeatedly.
Now he knew that the jade pendant was precious. With this thing, the Zhu family, which had to be stomped on his feet, Jiangzhou City, was destroyed overnight. The preciousness made Mr. Gong feel the poverty of his language. Except for one "fuck", he came up with any exclamation!
Cheng Yinyin curled her lips and blinked her beautiful big eyes and complained: "It's true, it's obviously a piece of gold, so she has to use it as copper. A mere Zhu family is worth bringing such a precious jade pendant. Remember in the future, just a small matter like asking for someone, just take the jade pendant to the other party's house. If the other party doesn't give face, come to find Brother Dejian again."
"Yes, yes, yes, vilish understands, vilish understands." Old Gong agreed repeatedly, and dragged Kang Laosan, who was as limp as mud, out of the post station and carried him home.
...
Late at night, Mr. Gong stared at the hazy moonlight that penetrated through the window and tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep.
Mrs. Gong thought he was regretting what had happened before, so she gently pushed him: "Master, go to bed quickly, don't think too much. The Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level Buddhist Tu. The third family of Kang has known me for many years and is also a pitiful person. If you can find out about her, this jade pendant will be worth it."
Boss Gong sat up with a wry smile. Is it really worth it?
Seeing that he was not sleeping, Gong sat up instead, and couldn't help but wonder: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Boss Gong sighed, touched the jade pendant from under the pillow, and solemnly handed it to Gong's hand: "Please hold it and keep it in place. Don't take it out unless you encounter a major event in the future."
After buying the jade pendant, Gong quickly realized what it was: "Jade pendant? You, didn't you bring the third brother over?"
"Go!" Boss Gong patted Gong's hand and said meaningfully: "After tomorrow, the Zhu family may no longer exist."
"Master, what are you talking about?" Gong became even more confused. He felt that it was not normal for the Master to come back from the night, and he didn't know what was stimulating.
"Don't worry about this matter. In short, remember that this jade pendant is very important." Boss Gong thought about it, but in the end he didn't tell the truth to his wife. He pulled the quilt and lay down again: "Go to bed early, I'll go out tomorrow morning."
...
Mr. Zhu rested happily for one night. At dawn, he sent away two beautiful maids who were serving the bed, put on glossy coats, and prepared to go to Jiangzhou City early.
To be honest, since the bastard Li Dejian came yesterday, Mr. Zhu's eyelids have not stopped and kept jumping around, which made him a little worried, so he decided to hide in the third uncle of Jiangzhou.
As for the old man's confinement, Mr. Zhu didn't care about it at all. Anyway, no one in this family dared to provoke him, and even if he found out that he left, he would not dare to report to the old man.
But God seemed to be deliberately against Mr. Zhu. Just as he came to the gate and was about to go out, a team of black-armored soldiers rushed in from the gate.
First, one of them put on his helmet and armor. In the morning sun, the bright light armor was shining with dazzling golden light.
"Who are you? Do you know where this place is?!" Mr. Zhu, who was startled, was furious and pointed at the dazzling golden thing and cursed: "Come on, drive all the bastards Qiu Ba to me..."
‘Pa’, a loud slap.
"Grandson, who are you calling me in front of me? Believe it or not, I will kill you directly and sue you for a conspiracy to rebel?"
Mr. Zhu was so old, when did he be beaten? He didn't care about the viciousness of the other party's words, covered his face in surprise, and said to the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him: "You, dare you hit me?"
The young man took a handkerchief from a beautiful woman beside him and wiped it on his hand, then threw it away, his tone was full of disdain: "What can I do if I hit you? I will kill you right now. The old man named Zhu has to thank me, do you believe it?"
His arrogant attitude and claim to think of someone, Mr. Zhu asked in disbelief: "Who are you?"
"Who am I, please guess slowly." As he spoke, a large number of black-armored guards had already rushed into the yard. Li Hao turned around and waved to Kang Laosan who was accompanying him, pointing to Master Zhu Er and said, "Come here, do you know this guy?"
"He, he is Zhu... Zhu Maocai's second son." Kang Laosan stared at Zhu Erye with a trace of blood, obviously hating this person.
However, Li Hao didn't care about this at all. He heard that the person in front of him was the legendary Master Zhu Er, and immediately showed an interesting expression: "Oh, this is really a coincidence that he came. It turns out that this is Master Zhu Er. I said Master Zhu Er, are you planning to go out?"
Now Mr. Zhu also probably figured out the identity of the young man in front of him and said with a sinister face: "You! Mr. Li, it seems that my Zhu family has not provoked you. You come to the door twice. Could it be that I think my Zhu family is easy to bully?"
