Chapter 1409 The sword will make things difficult(1/2)
Looking at the girl, the rich man said to the girl: "Girl, if you are willing to follow me, be a concubine of mine, I can pay the five hundred taels of silver to the casino now to help you pay off the debt, how about it?"
The girl thought there was a turning point and ignited hope. When she heard this, her originally weak body burst out with a strong will and cursed: "Shameless!"
The Zhao Chengwei was also angry and said to the rich man: "You are taking advantage of the situation."
The rich man sneered: "I am helping her! Ask everyone, who will pay so much money in advance for a long-term worker? This is five hundred taels of silver!"
The Zhao surnamed Chengwei knew that Hongdou was indeed difficult to succeed. Five hundred taels of silver is a huge sum of money. An ordinary family in Mukuicheng could get twenty or thirty taels of silver a year, and his life would be good. So Hongdou wanted his boss to pay 500 taels of silver in advance, and probably no boss would be willing to do this.
But this rich man takes advantage of others' danger and acts despicable. This can't be changed no matter how hard he is!
"How is it, little girl, will you go back with me?" The rich man laughed with his hands on his back, smiling with a bad smile.
Anyone knows that this person is coveting Hongdou's beauty. Even if he helps Hongdou pay off his debt of 500 taels of silver, it is equivalent to using this money to buy Hongdou's body and most of his life in the future.
Hongdouqiao showed an angry look on her face: "Shameless man!"
The woman who was so arrogant had already stood up and scolded the rich man angrily. Although Hongdou was much gentler and could not swear words, her attitude was the same, and she firmly refused and scolded her.
"Let's go." The Zhao Chengwei impatiently drove away the rich man.
Although he had no money to help Hongdou, he was also very distressed in Mukui City, but at least he could drive away a rich man with bad intentions in the city guard.
The rich man hummed and left.
The city guard captain's eyes fell on Hongdou again and said, "Girl, if I don't leave, I can only drive you away. The approach will be very rude."
City rules are city rules. Even if he feels compassion, he will not dare to violate the orders issued by the city lord's mansion.
Before and after the trading conference was held, during this period, no tragic scenes in the city were allowed to appear on all major streets in the city, such as selling oneself to save his father, writing a blood letter, etc., and even beggars who were begging would be driven away.
This is done to make Mukui City look more peaceful and leave a good impression on the monks outside.
"Yes, Hongdou, you leave first, go back first, and then help me think about my ideas when I go back." Zhao Chengwei also said.
"But Uncle Zhao, I have no place to go. The store has been sold by my father at a low price. Tomorrow is the day when the casino has to pay off its debts. I...I..." Hongdou's tears kept falling.
The city guards were a little reluctant and felt that this girl was really in trouble. At the same time, because Hongdou was very independent and self-reliant, even if she had to pay off her debts, she did not sell her body and dignity, and she felt even more sympathetic to the girl.
But the city rules are in front of you!
"I'm sorry." The city guard captain signaled the two men to take action, and he took away the cards in front of the girl and did not destroy them.
"Dear City Guards, please be more compatible." Hongdou asked cryingly.
Wang Lun witnessed the whole process, heard the miserable situation of Hongdou described by the Zhao Chengwei, saw the rich man's face as he took advantage of the situation, also saw the city guard's unbearableness, and even saw Hongdou's own strength and independence.
A weak girl should not have endured so much. The girl’s experience makes people sympathize with her.
But Wang Lun still admires the girl more. When facing a desperate situation, the girl still did not betray her dignity.
Since you have seen it, please help me. Otherwise, after tomorrow, the other party will probably be sold by the casino as an "asset", and the situation will be very miserable throughout his life.
Wang Lun walked forward and said with a smile: "Wait a minute."
He didn't speak loudly, but he made sure that it came into the ears of every city guard, and the city guards turned their heads to observe.
"I will pay off her debts," Wang Lun said.
The city guards almost thought they had heard it wrong. Even Hongdou himself thought they had heard it wrong, and stared at the young man who suddenly appeared.
Wang Lun didn't say much, and directly patted the storage bag. A ball of golden light flashed, and a large ingot of gold appeared in his hand. Wang Lun handed it to the girl.
This gold is not a common gold and silver cast by the government. When I got it from the hands of the Black Centipede Gang, it was such a large piece of gold, which was a large gold ingot made of gold.
Hongdou didn't dare to take it. Although she was an ordinary person, she could tell that the young man was a monk.
The people from the city guard quickly moved a little away, and from Wang Lun's action of taking out the gold ingots, he could see that this person was a monk. Facing the monk, they did not dare to be arrogant. They originally planned to drive away Hongdou, but now they have also paused.
"You are called Hongdou, take it, it's free, I don't need you to do anything."
Wang Lun said, knowing that the other party had doubts, he clearly said it.
But Hongdou still didn't take it, shook his head and said, "Senior monk, there are too many gold ingots, more than 500 taels of silver, and I didn't do anything, so I can't ask for your money. If you have anything to do with Hongdou, I can deduct 500 taels of silver from my wages."
Wang Lun was not surprised that the other party would say this, but he still thought that Hongdou was a very outstanding person. Such a girl should not ruin her life for the sake of the debt of her bet on the gambling father.
He handed the gold ingot to the Chengwei, surnamed Zhao: "Let's just ask you to go to the casino with her, get things done, let her do the remaining money, and let her do what she likes."
The Zhao surnamed Chengwei naturally had no objection. He was about to take the gold ingot, but Hongdou spoke and shook his head and said, "Senior, I cannot accept your gift for nothing,
Please let me do something to repay the money.”
Wang Lun realized that the other party was unwilling to ask for the money for nothing and planned to pay the 500 taels of silver in advance.
After thinking about it, Wang Lun felt that he still needed to respect the other party's wishes. But he did not need anyone to do things around him, and there was no job to provide them with them.
Wang Lun suddenly thought of the Fang family.
"In this way, if you are willing to go with me to meet a business family, they will provide you with a tailor's business and advance you to five hundred taels of silver. You can slowly use the wages to repay your debts, but you may need to leave Mukui City and live a long distance away."
Wang Lun was not sure whether the Fang family's relationship network could help Hongdou find a job as a tailor in Mukui City. But if Hongdou followed the Fang family back to Laiyang City, then he would definitely find something to do in Laiyang City.
Hongdou nodded without hesitation and said, "Senior, I am willing to do this."
The young monk in front of her gave her a sense of trust, and she knew that she could trust the other party.
Then, Hongdou said: "Senior, please take back this ingot of gold ingots. After the Fang family agrees, I will pay the prepaid silver from the Fang family to the casino."
She couldn't have asked for two portions.
"Okay." Wang Lun nodded, "Since that's the case, would you like to see the people from the Fang family with me now?"
Hongdou nodded and agreed.
Wang Lun looked back at the Zhao Chengwei and said, "Please come with me too and help the Hongdou girl check it out."
The Zhao Chengwei immediately looked at his captain. He wanted to accompany Hongdou to make sure that things were done.
"Go, you'll take a leave today, and you'll be back for a day later." The captain was reasonable.
"Okay, captain." The Zhao Chengwei took off his armor, and there were ordinary clothes inside, making it impossible to see his identity as the Chengwei. After all, what he had to do was to do was a private matter and he could not wear the armored clothes of the Chengwei.
Wang Lun walked in front, followed by the Red Bean Girl and the Zhao Chengwei. Zhuque Street where he was located was not far from Fubao Inn, and it was only a dozen minutes away on foot, and Wang Lun didn't take a carriage.
On the way, Wang Lun didn't ask what happened to Hongdou in the past. From the other party's previous actions, he could clearly understand the other party's character. In short, he was willing to help with this busyness.
The three of them were about to walk out of Zhuque Street and when they entered Fushou Street, there was a commotion in the direction of Fushou Street.
Wang Lun looked up and could easily see an extremely gorgeous carriage "floating" over!
The carriage was pulled by four ferocious beasts, but it was not running on the ground. Although the carriage had four wheels, it was hanging in the air. Four ferocious beasts pulled the carriage and flew in the air dozens of centimeters from the ground.
"The show is so big." Wang Lun sighed.
The four ferocious beasts are famous and are flesh-winged dragons!
Unlike the real pterosaur, the wings of the pterosaur have degenerated and have almost become two pterosaurs, which are not covered by dragon scales and are very short, so the pterosaurs are not suitable for flying mounts, but are suitable for spreading the show.
The flesh-wedge dragon is big, looks majestic, and can fly short distances at low altitude. It is one of the favorites of monks who like to travel high-profile.
The reason why it is famous is that the number of meat-winged dragons is small. The Beast Control Sect is the only sect that can cultivate and sell meat-winged dragons. It is said that the number sold in a year is only one hundred.
Monks who like high-profile usually dress up the flesh-winged dragon to show their noble aura. For example, the four flesh-winged dragons flying over from the low altitude of Fushou Street are all covered with golden soft armor, and the gorgeous carriage is also golden. This combination is like an emperor traveling.
What's more, there are indeed guards riding dragon foals on the front, back and left and right of the carriage. The guards in front are holding a bright yellow flag.
Everything looks like an emperor traveling under the escort of a guard of honor.
The big banner contains four big words "Forbidden Sword General".
"It's General Forbidden City who is coming." The Zhao-secret city guards are closer to the street to make a way out, for fear of disturbing the carriage's trip.
Wang Luncai bought a batch of jade slips and learned a lot of information about the spiritual world and cultivation world. He had heard of the Forbidden Sword General, but he still asked Chengwei, surnamed Zhao, "What is the origin of this person?"
Zhao's Chengwei said quickly, "This is a powerful Yuanying man, a registered disciple of the Flying Bat Sword King of Wanjianmen. He did not join the Wanjianmen and was a casual cultivator. However, he had a close relationship with Wanjianmen. The reason why the young man had heard of these is because this man acted extremely flamboyantly and there were many rumors about him in the spiritual world."
After a pause, he continued, "Senior, let's retreat into the shop next to you to avoid contact with his carriage."
He dared not say it too bluntly. What he wanted to express was that he would rather stay away than have any contact with the Forbidden Sword General. The other party was very fond of highlighting, his personality was very strange, and he could be said to be moody. There had been rumors that the Forbidden Sword General was traveling in a carriage. An ordinary man on the street was curious and looked up to watch the fun. The Forbidden Sword General just saw the man with his eyes when he looked up, so he thought that the man was disrespectful to him and was furious. He blasted out his palm and knocked the man into pieces from the air.
Therefore, it was his turn to pass by the Forbidden Sword General's carriage, and he would rather hide away. Even when he was very careful when talking to Wang Lun just now.
"I can't hide anymore," Wang Lun said, "The carriage rushed over here."
When the Zhao Chengwei saw it, his heart twitched. Four flesh-winged sags landed on the ground with a luxurious carriage. The flesh-winged sags used their unique wings as their feet and glided on the ground. The four wheels of the carriage turned on the ground and drove slowly over, slowing down.
"What should I do? Senior, did he hear what I said just now?" The Chengwei, surnamed Zhao, thought that it was his whispering to the Forbidden Sword General before, which aroused the latter's dissatisfaction.
I thought of a man who was killed by the Forbidden Sword just because his face was unclean when he was watching.
His body trembled.
"It's not for you, it's for me. You and Hongdou retreat aside. I'll deal with it without saying anything." Wang Lun said calmly, not wanting the two of them to be nervous behind him.
The carriage did rush in, and Wang Lun didn't know why.
This Forbidden Sword General once became a disciple of the Flying Bat Sword King, who is now a mid-stage strong man in the Wanjian Sect, and is in charge of the time and space node of the Time and Space City. Because the Forbidden Sword General reaches the God Transformation Realm, the "king" becomes a "general". If he reaches the God Transformation Realm, his title will definitely become the Forbidden Sword King.
The Forbidden City does not refer to the Forbidden City, but a mountain, the nest of the Forbidden Sword General.
This person is a Nascent Soul monk who has been famous for a long time. He is moody and unpredictable. He has the background of Wanjianmen. Therefore, he has always been in a high-profile manner and nothing happened.
What Wang Lun didn't understand was why the carriage that should have flew directly over from the middle of the street stopped slowly at himself?
