Chapter 371: The Poor
However, when Sun Shaozong was reluctantly sent out of the house by the mother and daughter of the You family, the sky outside was already full of stars.
Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but feel a little ashamed - for the sake of a woman, he delayed his plan to personally send the "knight" to the Dali Temple. It was really wrong.
Sighing in self-blame, he untied the reins, mounted his horse, and headed straight for the Dali Temple... and the nearby Jia Shanyao's house without hesitation. It was too late to correct his mistake now, so he might as well stick with it.
When they arrived at the mansion that Jia Shanyao had just bought, he revealed his identity as the captain of the Dragon Guard to the gatekeeper. Naturally, the gatekeeper did not dare to neglect him in the slightest and hurriedly led Sun Shaozong to the living room, then rushed to the back house to report.
Not long after, Jia Shanyao rushed into the living room in disheveled clothes. Seeing that it was indeed Sun Shaozong, he knelt on one knee and said, "I greet the captain!"
Then, he asked servilely, "I wonder if the captain has anything to tell you when he comes to visit me?"
"Get up and talk first."
Sun Shaozong pulled him up from the ground and said with a smile: "How can I talk to you when you are kneeling on the ground?"
After Jia Shanyao stood up straight with fear and trepidation, he continued, "It's not really an order, but I have some personal matters that I want you to handle."
Personal matter?
Jia Shanyao was delighted. As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not... uh, it's 'ten public affairs are not as good as one private affair'. Those who can handle private affairs for their superiors can be considered as one of their own!
So he knelt on one knee again and said in a loud voice: "Please give me your orders, sir. I will do my best to live up to your trust!"
——The long-lost dividing line——
"One, two—go!"
At the beach of Houhai, two burly men were shouting slogans and throwing a naked figure from the cruise ship. They saw the man falling into the water with his buttocks falling backwards like a wild goose on the sand. The man kicked and paddled in panic. Then the two men stood on the bow of the boat with their hands on their hips and heads raised, laughing unscrupulously.
The naked man who fell into the water struggled for a few times and suddenly felt something was wrong under his feet. He planted his feet firmly in the mud and realized that the water was only three feet deep, barely reaching his chest.
A surge of confidence immediately flowed through his legs into his dantian, and after being heated up, it gushed out from his mouth : "Damn it! I'm just unlucky, and you guys are teasing me like this. When my luck turns, I will bring people to overturn this boat and feed you all to ashes!"
Gambling ships are not a new thing that only appeared in later generations. In fact, there have been underground gambling dens for a long time. In order to avoid raids by the government, they deliberately set up gambling locations on ships.
This man had obviously lost all his money and started making a scene on the boat, so he was thrown into the water by the casino thugs.
The two men on the boat heard that the drowned dog was still barking, so one of them picked up a bamboo pole and pretended to hit him on the head.
“Ouch~!”
Before he could hit him, the man in the water had already covered his head and fled towards the shore, taking one deep step and one shallow step.
When he walked about ten feet away, his listless appearance was exposed, but he was still running around without paying attention to his head. The two men on the boat could not help laughing again.
"What the hell are you laughing at!"
At this moment, a middle-aged woman suddenly appeared in the cabin and shouted in a shrill voice: "Two brainless fools, why do you need to deal with a poor man for so long? Come in and roll the dice for us!"
The two men suddenly lost their backbone and hurriedly hunched over to get in.
The woman, on the other hand, went to the bow of the boat, stared at the naked "drowned dog" and shouted, "Master Zhang, if you become rich tomorrow, don't forget to return the three taels and two cents of silver to me first!"
Master Zhang turned around and saw that it was her who was calling out, so he hurriedly protected his vital parts and said with an embarrassed smile: "Don't worry, Qi Niang, don't worry, Qi Niang, I will never be short of money from anyone else, but I will never be short of money from you!"
"That's good."
Qi Niang smiled happily, which frightened Master Zhang so much that he trembled all over, because the most famous thing about Qi Niang was that she once bit off the bird of a debtor!
But Master Zhang Hua, who had finally escaped from the horror of that sinister smile, was about to find some large leaves on the shore to cover his ugly appearance when he was suddenly surrounded by two men.
Because the two men were not very tall and strong, and their faces showed some kindness, Zhang Hua shouted angrily: "A good dog does not block the road. You two are blocking my way. Do you want to... my..."
Zhang Hua had just finished speaking when the two men suddenly lifted their robes and pulled out a bronze waist badge with a few large words clearly written on it. Zhang Hua was stunned with astonishment!
Even though he is now in poverty, he was once the son of the head of an imperial manor. He should recognize the characters "Northern Guards Dragon Guard"!
Suddenly, the two men appeared tall and burly, with ferocious faces, just like two door gods - no, they were the stars of death!
Plop~
Zhang Hua's knees went weak and he fell to his knees on the cobblestones. He didn't even bother to cry out in pain, but cried out, "Grandpa, spare me! I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. That's why I offended you two..."
“That’s enough!”
Seeing his miserable state, the two dragon guards were too lazy to talk to him and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are in luck now. A nobleman has taken a fancy to your unmarried wife and is planning to take her as his concubine!"
What kind of good luck is this?!
No matter how timid Zhang Hua was, he couldn't help cursing in his heart, but the next second, his eyes lit up again.
It turned out that the Dragon Guard who was speaking stretched out his hand and took out a silver ingot weighing thirty taels, shook it in front of him, and said, "How about it? If you are willing to write a letter of cancellation of the engagement, this silver will be yours."
Good luck indeed!
Zhang Hua was overjoyed and was about to nod his head like a rattle, but after changing his mind, he shook his head again and said in a troubled tone: "My wife is really a beauty. Thirty taels is probably..."
Ding~
The Dragon Guard shook his wrist, and another silver ingot rolled out from his sleeve, colliding with the original ingot and making a pleasant crisp sound.
"Sixty taels of silver! All you need is a written document to cancel the engagement, and everything will be yours!"
“This…this…”
Zhang Hua was so happy that his body was shaking, but his greed was even stronger, so he still shook his head and said, "My unmarried wife is really beautiful..."
"You are such an ungrateful person!"
Unexpectedly, the Dragon Guard immediately turned hostile and cursed, "Since you don't like it , then forget about it!"
Having said that, he collected the silver and was about to leave with his companions.
“No, no, no!”
Zhang Hua quickly changed his words and said, "I mean that woman, she is not as pretty as these sixty taels of silver! Please bring me some paper and pen, I will write a divorce letter right away!"
This person is really...
The two Dragon Guards were extremely disdainful of him, but for the sake of the job, they still found a piece of tattered clothes for him, and personally took him to the home of the nearby headman, and wrote a letter .
Then he forced Zhang Hua to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find the original letter of engagement and burn it. Only then did he leave the silver behind and hurried away.
After the two Dragon Guards left, Zhang Hua held the silver and kissed it again and again. Suddenly he remembered something and rushed to the beach again.
He shouted from a distance: "Qiniang, Qiniang! I have money again, hurry up and pull the boat over so I can go aboard and make some money!"
