Smuggling Daming

Chapter 47 Prepare to be slaughtered

After Zhou Zhong and Steward Xu left Xie's mansion, they immediately rushed to Huaxiang without stopping. It was only three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun had already set to the west, and there was still a long time before it set.

However, the Flower Alley was already very lively at this time, and pleasure-seekers gathered here from all corners of Songjiang Fucheng, either directly looking for their old friends, or looking for their new prey on the street.Red lanterns have been set up at the entrances of various brothels, and beautifully dressed women stand by the doors, eating melon seeds and chatting, and from time to time glance at the pleasure-seekers passing by, covering their mouths and giggling. non-stop.

Zhou Zhong and Steward Xu didn't have the intention of looking for flowers and women, and turned a blind eye to the women on both sides of the street. They soon came to the other courtyard at the east end of Huaxiang.Compared with other brothels, the Bieyuan seems very quiet. At least there are no women who are smiling at the door. Instead, there are two stone lions of the town house at the door, and there are two strong guards. If you don't know the inside story People who live here may think that this is some kind of rich family's house.

Butler Xu led Zhou Zhong forward, and took out a beautifully carved wooden sign from his arms. The two guards immediately let them go, but when Zhou Zhong and the others entered, the guard who had seen their wooden sign also rushed away. Report to the madam.

Butler Xu didn't have time to visit Su Niang at all during this time, the moment he knew that she was pregnant with his child, he wished to fly over to see Su Niang, but thinking of the situation in the Zhou Mansion, he could only cry alone. Don't read that letter, otherwise, if Su Niang really had two sexes, Steward Xu might have to regret it for the rest of his life.

Thinking of Su Niang, whom he hadn't seen for more than two months, and the child in her belly, Steward Xu felt hot in his heart, and couldn't help but quicken his pace a lot.Zhou Zhong followed behind Steward Xu. Originally, he wanted to take a closer look at this special brothel, but he didn't expect the other party to walk faster and faster. In the end, he had to trot to keep up. This really shocked him. , I didn't expect to be able to explode at such a speed with Steward Xu's figure?

Soon Zhou Zhong and Steward Xu came to the relatively remote courtyard where Su Niang lived. Compared with other courtyards, this courtyard not only had a bad location, but also looked dilapidated and simple in appearance.

Steward Xu stopped at this moment, seeing the excited expression on the house, and finally said to Zhou Zhong with trembling lips: "Young Master, Su Niang has always followed me, and has never been like other girls in the house, who has always wanted to take care of them." The guests want this and that, but they still think about me everywhere, and take the initiative to live in the worst yard. She said that she was sold here from her hometown by Ren Yazi, and she has never had enough food since she was a child. This place is enough to eat hot meals!"

At the end of Steward Xu's speech, he couldn't stop crying. He used to be the big housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, and it was not difficult to earn some money, but he was always thinking about the mansion, and he was never greedy. Therefore, his annual income It's only a few dozen taels of silver. Apart from her daily expenses, the money is only enough for Su Niang to live the worst life in another courtyard, but Su Niang never complains, and she never dislikes him for being too old. , This is also what Steward Xu likes most about Su Niang.

Originally, Steward Xu wanted to wait until Su Niang was pregnant with his own child before pleading with Zhou Zhong's father. It must be because of their master-servant relationship, it was not a good idea to spend a few hundred taels of silver to redeem Su Niang. What a difficult thing, but I never thought that Su Niang had never been able to get pregnant, and now she finally got pregnant, but it happened at this time.

Seeing Steward Xu's tears, Zhou Zhong couldn't help sighing, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Uncle Xu, you don't have to be sad, we will redeem Su Niang's house today, and the three of you can be regarded as reunited." , When the child is born in the future, I am still waiting to drink the child's full moon wine!"

Hearing Zhou Zhong's description of a beautiful life, Steward Xu also lifted his spirits. He nodded heavily at the moment, and then stepped forward to knock on the door. Soon he heard a rush of footsteps coming from inside, and then the door opened, and a The woman in the blue padded jacket opened the door, and when she saw Butler Xu standing outside, she was overjoyed at first, and then tears welled up in her eyes, and she threw herself into Butler Xu's arms and cried.

Although the scene in front of him was very touching, Zhou Zhong consciously turned around to avoid Butler Xu's embarrassment because of his different ideas.Afterwards, I only heard Steward Xu take a long time to stop the woman from crying, and then the two came to Zhou Zhong together. Steward Xu introduced with some embarrassment: "Master, this is Su Niang, Su Niang Mother, quickly salute the young master!"

"Su Niang pays homage to the young master!" Su Niang and Steward Xu are usually referred to as husband and wife, but just now she heard that Zhou Zhong would not hesitate to borrow money to redeem her body.

"You are very polite. Although Uncle Xu and I are named master and servant, I have always regarded him as an elder. Naturally, it is impossible to watch you and your child fall into the fire pit. This time I can help you redeem yourself. I hope you can be with Steward Xu in the future Respect each other as guests, live a good life!" Zhou Zhong also said with a smile.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Zhong finally saw Su Niang's appearance clearly. Although Su Niang's appearance was not stunning, it was also very beautiful. In addition, she exuded a kind of mature aura unique to young women. In fact, if her character is really like what Steward Xu said, she would be like a flower stuck in cow dung by following Steward Xu.

But Zhou Zhong quickly realized that in the era of Daming, it is not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be beautiful, especially those women from poor families. It's a pity that they were sold to brothels just because they were beautiful and their families were poor.But then again, if she was too ugly, she might not even be able to sell her, and she might have starved to death long ago.

Just when Zhou Zhong and Xu Steward met Su Niang, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind them, and then a group of people walked out from a moon gate not far away. To Zhou Zhong's surprise, this group of people One of them was actually an acquaintance of his.

I saw that the head of this group was an old woman with heavy makeup, followed by a group of middle-aged men, who seemed to be the madam and thugs from another courtyard, besides the madam was a young man, holding a seductive woman in his arms, This person is Zhou Zhong's acquaintance, that is, the Second Young Master Song who almost became Zhou Zhong's sister-in-law.

Seeing the Second Young Master Song walking with the madam from the other courtyard, Zhou Zhong immediately guessed what was going on, and at the same time his heart sank. He only had 600 taels of silver with him. But it would be bad.Butler Xu was also worried. Ever since he saw Second Young Master Song, he had been sweating non-stop on his forehead.

"Oh~, Mr. Xu, you are here. Su Niang has been waiting for you here for a long time. If you don't come, I am afraid that the child in Su Niang's stomach will be born!" She paid for it, but when she saw Butler Xu, she still put on an enthusiastic look, and the thick powder on her face kept falling down with her smile, which made her look disgusting.

Although Steward Xu was nervous, he forced a smile and said, "Ms. Xu was busy with other affairs some time ago, so I really couldn't come to visit Su Niang, which made Qiu's mother bother!"

"Hehe, the Zhou family is already going bankrupt, and your master and servant are still in the mood to come here together. It's really unprecedented. If it spreads, how many people will praise Mr. Zhou for being so romantic?" At this moment, The Second Young Master Song suddenly spoke sarcastically.

Zhou Zhong just raised his head and glanced at Song Er Gongzi's words, his eyes were full of contempt, as if he didn't care about him at all, but turned his head and said to the bustard: "Mama Qiu, right? The person came here to discuss the matter of redeeming Su Niang's body with your other courtyard, I don't want to see irrelevant people screaming, you can figure it out yourself!"

There is nothing wrong with Zhou Zhong's request, after all, he is now going to discuss business with the other court, and the Second Young Master Song is neither from Zhou Zhong's side nor from the other court, so he is naturally not qualified to stay here.Although the madam took money from the Second Young Master Song, she had also heard about Zhou Zhong's reputation. Although the Zhou family had collapsed, Zhou Zhong had a lot of friends and was a scholar, so she didn't dare to offend him too much.

It is precisely because of this that the madam looked at the Second Young Master Song with some embarrassment. Although she manages the entire other courtyard, she is not the owner of the other courtyard. To put it bluntly, she is just a part-time worker. If she got stabbed at the boss behind the scenes, her life might not be easy.

The Second Young Master Song just wanted to see Zhou Zhong's frustration when he had no money to redeem him, and he had already explained to the madam beforehand that she would ask for the price, so he didn't have to stay here to argue with Zhou Zhong, so he didn't It was hard for the madam to do it, and she said very straightforwardly: "Okay, I am just passing by, and I am too lazy to listen to your Zhou family's nonsense!"

After the second son of the Song Dynasty finished speaking, he hugged the woman in his arms and retreated to the Moon Gate not far away, and then never left again, but still looked at this side with a smile.With such a distance, they couldn't hear the two parties' conversations at all, and Zhou Zhong had no reason to drive the other party away.

"Very good, now that the idlers have left, can Mother Qiu tell me how much money is needed to redeem Su Niang's body?" Zhou Zhong said with a serious face at this moment.Based on his understanding of the second son of Song, the other party left so easily, which also shows that the second son of Song must have colluded with the madam in front of him, and this time he might be brutally slaughtered!
