After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 82
Mo Li is a scholar after all, so he explained his intentions in just a few words.

He was dressed in new clothes, he spoke well, and he also had the air of a dandy, which made the old woman invite the person in charge, afraid of delaying the business.

After the steward came out, it was Yang Pei's turn.

He had discussed the lo-mei business with the two shopkeepers of Zuixianlou Jixiang Restaurant before, and he was very experienced. He convinced the steward of Yihonglou in less than a cup of tea. It's different, so this business is easy to negotiate. In the end, it was negotiated at 75 Wen a catty, and [-] catties will be supplied every day in the future.

Today's goods are 85 catties in total. After Zhao Ergou delivered the goods, he has more than six taels of silver in his hands, which is a bit heavy.

Satisfied, he was ready to leave.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the lobby.

Immediately afterwards, the wooden stairs sounded, and a group of people ran downstairs.

The one in the front is a boy in his teens, staring at the direction of the gate, rushing forward desperately.

"Stop him! Don't let him get away!"

The steward who was talking to Yang Pei rushed forward and grabbed the boy by the hair.

The boy was dragged and fell to the ground. He rolled over and rolled in front of Yang Pei. He looked up at Yang Pei with tears in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.

"Catch me back, lock it up, train me well, if you dare to run again, your leg will be broken." The steward ordered his subordinates in a cold voice, and then looked at Yang Pei and Mo Li, "Let the two of you watch the joke, let's go this way .”

Generally, people who come to sell goods are looked down upon by those in charge, but in a place like Yihonglou, he meets the richest people in Dahe Town every day. He is quite accurate in judging people, he can feel Well, the identity of this young man surnamed Mo should be unusual, so there are many compliments in his words.

Mo Li frowned, he had heard his master talk about the mess in Yihonglou at home, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by himself.

He can't handle this kind of shit.

He pulled Yang Pei to leave.

But he saw Yang Pei bent down, helped up the boy who fell on the ground, and then protected him behind him.

Mo Li lowered his voice: "Brother Yang, I advise you not to mind your own business. It looks like it was sold by your own family. The deed of sale is in the hands of Yi Honglou, so you can't control it."

As soon as he said this, an old bustard upstairs chased him downstairs and shouted: "This little bitch just refuses to press his fingerprints. The deed of sale has not yet been written, so hold him down quickly, and if he resists again, he will be beaten up. Just don't slap him in the face." gone."

"If he was sold to such a place by his family, shouldn't the deed of sale be written long ago?" Yang Pei said in a low voice, "This person should have been kidnapped."

Mo Li also realized the seriousness of the matter.

The Brothel Jiaofang Division is legal in this dynasty, but the men in the building either voluntarily sell themselves or are forced to sell themselves by others. The people in the brothel kidnap young boys from good families. This is forcing a good man into prostitution and it is illegal.

He took a look at the clothes on the young man. It was not coarse cloth, but silk-like material. This man must have a good family background, and his family would never sell their son to a brothel.

Mo Li said in a low voice: "Brother Yang, you take him away first, I'll be the last!"

"I see which one of you dares to leave!" The manager said angrily, "You dare to meddle in the affairs of Yihonglou, I'm really tired of work, come here, hold these two people down, beat them up and throw them on the street!"

Seven or eight servants came in at the door, all of them strong and strong.

In a place like a brothel, people make trouble every day, so a group of thugs are raised in the building. In addition to suppressing the troublemakers, they are also responsible for guarding the door and preventing the young men in the building from escaping.

These boys have already practiced their skills.

Mo Li cursed secretly: "Brother Yang, I was really hurt by you."

Yang Pei glanced at the young man hiding behind him, and tentatively said, "Why don't we run first, and then bring the people from the government over?"

"Do you have any backbone that a man should have?" Mo Li scolded, "If you save everything, then save people to the end, forget it, I have to stand up, who made us a family. "

If he ran away now, the young boy would have been sent to other places to avoid the limelight when the people from the government came to investigate the case.

Mo Li sneered, stepped on the chair, and said carelessly: "I won't leave today, let me see if any of you dare to touch me!"

When he said that, those servants didn't dare to approach him.

The steward narrowed his eyes: "Who are you?"

"I'm just a scholar." Mo Li grinned, "My mother was born in a peasant..."

The manager was relieved, a farmer had nothing to be afraid of, so he made a besieging gesture.

"My mother knows how to farm, but she also knows how to read. She became a child at the age of 13, a scholar at the age of 16, and then became a Jinshi along the way, and finally became the county magistrate of Youshui Town."

Mo Li said with a smile, "If I lose a hair in Yihonglou, you won't be able to open Yihonglou anymore."

The steward was shocked.

Students in Yihonglou often come to drink and talk about things. He has vaguely heard about the deeds of the county magistrate of Youshui next door, which is basically consistent with what this young man said.

"You should have heard it in Yihonglou. My mother has been highly valued by the magistrate recently. Your magistrate Fu in Dahe County is also a head shorter than my mother." Mo Li stood up slowly, "Come on, you do it , Hit me and try, let's see what happens together."

Yihonglou is a place of three religions and nine streams, there are all kinds of people coming and going, and the news is very well-informed, so he naturally knows about the emergence of County Magistrate Shen.

These days, offending the rich can still be resolved, but if offending the officials, it is tantamount to ruining the way ahead.

The steward had given up and waved his hand.

The boy at the door gave way, Yang Pei protected the boy and walked out, Mo Li swaggered out.

When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "Actually, what I just said is all false. I am not the son of a county magistrate. County magistrate Shen only has one daughter. Hahaha, you have been deceived!"

After he finished speaking, he grabbed Yang Pei's hand and ran forward desperately.

Yang Pei didn't expect this guy to say these words suddenly. He held Mo Li with one hand and the boy with the other, and the three of them ran wildly on the street. The pursuers behind him.

Yang Pei gasped: "If you didn't say the latter sentence, we wouldn't have been chased for so long."

"If I don't say anything, the person in charge will definitely investigate. When we find out that we are pretending to be officials, we may be arrested and imprisoned!" Mo Li paused, looking at the young man next to him, "Hey, where is your family? Well, we good people will do it to the end and send you back.”

The 13-year-old was pale, out of breath, gasping for breath, unable to speak a word.

Mo Li and Yang Pei stood by the side and waited for him to rest before talking, but after waiting, the boy didn't say a word.

Yang Pei asked patiently: "If you don't remember where your home is, we can send you to the county government office, and the government will send someone to take you back."

The boy still didn't speak, he lowered his head and grabbed his sleeves.

"It can't be dumb." Mo Li had a headache, "Send it to the government."

Yang Pei nodded, probably everyone in this kid's family is going crazy.
