"You want to redeem him?" A round-headed and smiling fat man sat in front of Li Ling and pointed at Li Tong with curiosity. As for Manager Bi, he could only stand aside with a low profile. Although he was called Manager, he was actually a supervisor on the dock. He could pretend to be a tiger's power, but he could not make any decision.

The fat man in front of him was the real person in charge of the dock, named Wei Da. At this moment, he took his eyes off Li Tong and looked at Li Ling carefully. Li Ling still looked like he was smiling: "What, is Manager Wei a little embarrassed? It's really difficult to deal with, you can ask the people above again."

"That's not necessary. I can still make the decision on the dock. But why do you want to redeem him?"

"Uncle Tong has long been kind to my family. Since I saw him in trouble, why would I stand by and watch? Please report to Manager Wei." Li Ling said perfunctorily.

Veda lowered his head and thought for a moment before grinning, spreading his left five fingers: "It's worth fifty taels at a time. I can hand over all his body contracts to you now, and you can take them away."

"I was sold here only twenty taels of silver that day, why did it double?" Li Tong was anxious when he heard this and shouted quickly.

"Can this buy and sell be the same price?" Veda was not angry, and still smiled, "What's more, you eat and live here and you're all about money. We can't do a loss-making business, right?"

"But I have done my job, and it's not just for free..." Li Tong wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Li Ling's hand: "It's fair, I'll follow you." As he said that, he took out a silver note from his sleeve and put it on the table. "This is the fifty taels of silver note from Wanjia Money House. You can get the ticket as soon as you see it. You can check it."

The Wanjia Money House is doing a lot of business, and Jiangbei also has its own semicolon. When he heard that it was the silver notes from this house, Wei Da hurriedly took them over and looked them carefully, and smiled and said, "Young Master Li is really grand."

"Manager Wei praised him, but he just worked as a small base student, plus he had a scholar's identity." Li Ling said, as if he accidentally took out the wooden sign of scholar's identity and lit it.

At this moment, Veda and the few people around him dared not look down on him anymore, and immediately smiled and said, "It turns out that he is still a scholar. I am really disrespectful. Since you have paid the money, you can take it away. There is also this..." He quickly opened the drawer, searched for a while, and found a piece of paper printed on the yamen, and handed it over. It was Li Tong's body contract.

Li Ling took it casually, swiped it up and down again, and then put it in the cuffs after confirming it was correct, and clasped his fists at the other party: "Then thank Manager Wei. Uncle Tong, let's go."

Li Tong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it. He just glanced at Li Ling with some gratitude, followed behind him, and walked out of the house with Yue'er.

Watching them leave, Veda smiled again: "I made a small profit today. You go back to the dock and watch it."

Manager Bi looked at the other party with envy, but still agreed and said goodbye to leave. For them, a coolie who had no strength and no use was able to sell a sky-high price of fifty taels, which was a huge gain. It was impossible for them to report to the upper level of the Wei family, even such things were impossible.

After walking out the door for a while, Li Ling stopped again and said carelessly: "Uncle Tong, are you injured?" The heavy steps, heavy breathing, and the thin layer of scars that cannot be covered by clothes made Li Tong unable to deny it, so he could only smile bitterly.

"Then go to the clinic first." Li Ling said hurriedly, and immediately supported Li Tong out of the dock with Yue'er and headed straight to a clinic not far away.

This clinic was built by people at the dock, so it was specially designed to treat various bruises and injuries. Seeing that they helped people in, they asked a few casual questions and asked Li Tong to take off his clothes and lay on the bedside.

After Li Tong took off his clothes, everyone took a breath, and Yue'er even screamed, her eyes reddered: "Uncle Tong, why have you... been injured so much..."

The scars on Li Tong's body were indeed shocking. There were scars of different ages on his hands, shoulders, back, legs, feet and knees, especially the whip on his back, which was bloody, which was just pulled out by someone.

Even when Li Ling saw it, his face changed. He took a deep breath and said, "Doctor, can this injury be cured? It won't leave any hidden dangers, right?"

"Fortunately, it's all skin and flesh, and there are not many places that hurt the muscles and bones. I have a specially made ointment here. Just apply it and bandage it well, so you can keep it safe." However, the doctor had seen it and was not panicked at all. He immediately took out a box of ointment and said, "It's just that the price..."

"How many?"

"It takes five taels of silver."

Without saying a word, Li Ling took out a ingot of silver and put it in his hand, and then urged: "Then please ask the doctor to help you with the medicine first. If there are any decoctions or something, you can also prescribe it. I just need Uncle Tong to recover as soon as possible."

The doctor was waiting to bargain with them, but now he was overjoyed and quickly agreed and carefully applied the ointment with a fragrance to Li Tong. Although his movements were professional enough, Li Tong still inhaled from time to time and grinned his teeth. He also made Yue'er feel heartbroken. In the end, he didn't dare to stay and walked outside the door to wait.

After half an hour, Li Tong's scars were processed and he wrapped them in a bandage, and he almost grew bigger. However, the medicine was really effective. At this moment, his movements were much more flexible than before. When he came out with Li Ling, he could still smile and say to Yue'er: "How is it, Uncle Tong scared Yue'er today, right?"

"No, I'm just... just worried about Uncle Tong." Yue'er said, looking at him with concern: "Uncle Tong, are you getting better?"

"It's much better. This time it's really thanks to the young master's arrival, otherwise..." As he said that, he forced himself to thank him, but was stopped by Li Ling: "Uncle Tong, don't do this, we are all a family, it's time to save you. Besides, you are in such a dilemma because of us." As he said that, he remembered something, took out the body deed and handed it over, "Uncle Tong, please keep this thing."

"This... how can I keep my body contract by myself? I should take it by the master's family, let alone this one, you bought it for fifty taels of silver," Li Tong refused to answer, and hurriedly pushed it.

Li Ling said, "My sister and I have never regarded you as a servant. You are our family, so this contract is of course useless. Since you don't want to... In this way, after returning to Jiangcheng, I will go to the county government office to let the people in the government office turn you back into a civilian, so that you will no longer be a slave." As he said that, he took back the contract.

"Young Master..." Li Tong was immediately moved again, but he didn't know what to say.

After he followed Li Ling a few steps, he suddenly paused under his feet: "Where are you planning to take me?"

"Of course I'm going back to the inn at the residence. I'll discuss some things with you next, and then we'll go back to Jiangcheng."

"Then... can I go back to the dock? I have a little brother there, and I have to say goodbye without saying goodbye. He has taken care of me a lot during this period."

"Is that so? Then let's see him together and thank him." Li Ling said hurriedly, turned around with the two of them and came back to the dock again.

At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and the work on the dock had been completed. The coolies all walked out in groups of three or five, talking and laughing. Only one person seemed out of place with them, almost no one was walking with him, and even deliberately distanced him. It was Li Moyun.

He was obviously used to this situation and was not disappointed, but his eyes were not sweeping around, as if he was looking for someone. It was not until Li Tong's voice came in front of him: "Mo Yun, here!" He was happy and hurried over: "Uncle Tong, I just saw that you were taken away by someone and was still a little worried about you... Is this?"

"This is my young master I mentioned to you before. He is Li Moyun. He often helps me and has great strength." Li Tong hurriedly recommended each other to them.

Li Moyun looked at Li Ling curiously, and Li Ling also looked at him with a smile. Although this person is not too tall, he is extremely strong, especially the bulging muscles under his short dress, with clear edges and corners, which look like those bodybuilders in later generations, full of strength.

"It turns out it's Brother Li, I'm here to Li Ling. Thank you for taking care of Uncle Tong these days." Li Ling said, and another tribute, "If you don't dislike it, why should you go with us to get some wine and rice nearby?"

"Of course, let's bother Mr. Li." Li Moyun was also a cheerful person. He immediately grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and went out with them. The movement here attracted the attention of others around him, and then someone muttered in a low voice: "They actually dare to make friends with this Sangmenxing, so he is too brave..."

Li Ling and the others didn't hear these comments, so they just moved forward and soon found a clean small wine shop not far away. They had someone serve a few side dishes and two pots of wine, and then sat down to eat and drink.

Originally, Li Ling wanted to ask Li Tong about why he was sold, but now there are more people, so this matter can only be put aside for the time being, but instead he said some unpainful greetings. However, during this conversation, he found that Li Moyun was not like a rough man who only worked hard. He spoke well but had read books.

This made him even more curious and couldn't help asking: "Brother Li, I have something I don't know if you can tell me. That is, you look at a handsome talent, not only have you studied, but also have a strong strength far beyond ordinary people. How could you be willing to work as a coolie at the wharf and earn such a little hard money to live?"
