Chapter 546 Gossip in Yangzhou City

The Mou couple listened to a lot of drama about how the members of the Yue family tried their best to fight for property, and they felt that this family was really fierce, tyrannical and greedy. That's not too much to say, it seems that no matter where in this world, for the sake of profit, the faces are similar, the difference is almost the same.

So he asked the man again,
"I heard that the Yue family likes to raise dwarves?"

The tooth man replied,
"Exactly. The whole family doesn't know what's wrong. They just like weird things. They look scary when they grow up like that. What's the fun? The Yue family even raised more than a dozen of them, and hired someone to train them in the house. , Some guests asked them to come out to perform masked throwing knives, building human towers, spitting fire and so on..."

Mou Biao narrowed his eyes when he heard that,
"Where do these dwarves come from?"

The tooth man blinked and smiled,

"Many of them were bought from our dental store..."

He smiled,
"If you like it, our dental shop can also help you find..."

This Zhicheng tooth shop is really full of business. There are rich people in Yangzhou who like dwarfs. They search for this kind of children with birth defects in various places in Daqing. The older ones are seven or eight years old, and the younger ones are one or two years old. In the backyard, people taught since childhood.

Si Lian frowned upon hearing this,
"Aren't you human trafficking?"

The tooth man smiled and said,

"Ma'am, I dare not say that. These children with congenital defects are rejected by their families at home, and they can't even eat a good meal. When they come to Yangzhou, they have meat to eat, good clothes to wear, and they can learn to make ends meet. To earn a living, even if you leave the house when you get old, you will still have a meal to settle down in, which is hundreds of times better than staying at home. When people in our dental office go to various places, many people beg their grandparents to tell their grandmas, and begged us to accept it. child……"

"Is it?"

Mou Biao smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"I'm afraid their life is not as good as you said?"

The tooth man grinned,
"Hey, Master is a sensible person. There is no such thing as a free meal in this world. They also have to study hard in that mansion. If there are those who are lazy and don't listen to orders, they will naturally teach them a little lesson..."

"I'm afraid it's not a lesson, right?"

"Hey... well... there are some beatings and scolding..."

"Then... but has there been a fatality?"

"This one……"

Naya man's expression changed, he realized that something was wrong, he looked Mou Biao up and down for a while and asked carefully,

"My lord, you are not someone from the government who is looking into the affairs of the Yue family, are you?"

Mou Biao smiled and squeezed the thumb-sized white porcelain small wine glass to play with.
"Are you looking at me?"

The man looked up and down,
"This... It looks like you have an official air..."

Mou Biao narrowed his eyes, but flipped his wrist and threw another ingot of silver on the table, he laughed and said,
"You don't care if you are an official or not, you just want to hear about the affairs of the Yue family. How much you say can get out of your mouth and into my ears. What happens after that has nothing to do with you. The money is yours. otherwise……"

There was a cold light in his eyes,
"If not... shall we talk in another place?"

The tooth man's face changed, and he said with a sneer,

"My lord, you're joking... Isn't it just to listen to gossip and have fun, this little guy is good at it, don't... don't need to change places!"

Mu Biao nodded,

"Then don't tell me soon!"

The tooth man put away the charming smile on his face now, and said seriously,
"Even if you spend money to support these people, you will naturally have to teach them a lesson. Beating and scolding are sometimes heavy handed. This... this is also dead..."

Mu Biao snorted,
"No one escaped?"

The tooth man nodded and said,
"Running is someone who ran away, didn't the one in front of you run away..."

"Oh... is that so... did you get it back?"

The tooth man shook his head,

"That kid was very clever. He first set a fire in the back kitchen, and while everyone was putting out the fire, he ran out of the mansion. The owner..."

He hesitated and said,

"Our boss... Our boss also has some friends. Later, it was found that the kid took a boat going north and ran away..."

"Oh……"

Mou Biao dragged on,
"What's that kid's name?"

The toothman replied,

"The things that are used for fun in the mansion don't have a serious name, but they are just numbered. This kid is ranked above seventeen, so he is called seventeen..."

"When did it happen?"

"It's about half a month ahead!"

In this way, what the Yaman said was the same as what Yue Shiqi said, but the more suspicious it sounded, the more suspicious it was. With his usual keen intuition, since then As soon as the kid got on the boat, Mou Biao felt that something was wrong. If he heard what this guy said, it would become more and more wrong the more he listened!

Mou Biao glanced at Silian, and found that his wife was also puzzled. The husband and wife exchanged a tacit look, and then stopped asking about Yue's family, and asked Yaren to talk about the extravagance of the rich in the city. The absurd thing about throwing away a lot of money is coming...

After eating this meal for two hours, the tooth man said that his mouth was parched, and he poured down a pot of wine by himself. Ten years of peach blossom brewing was quite good. Biao was very satisfied with what he heard, and then rewarded him with an ingot of silver before sending the drunken man away.

The husband and wife turned around to the inn, sat in the carriage and Si Lian asked Mou Biao,
"Does Xiaolin feel that there is something strange about Yue Shiqi's origin?"

Mou Biao looked at his wife beside him with a smile, stretched his waist, hugged her into his arms, let Si Lian's soft buttocks rub against his firm thighs, he hummed in satisfaction, and asked,

"Did Silian see it?"

Silian nodded,

"Accordingly, what Yue Shiqi said is consistent with what this Yaren said, but for some reason, the more I listen to it, the more I feel something is wrong..."

Mou Biao smiled and kissed her,
"Silian in our family is smart... I can tell that Yue Shiqi has kung fu on him. From what this man said, these dwarves are handicapped people who were recruited from various places. The Yue Mansion can only teach them some things for fun Skills, how to teach kung fu, is it because they think they can't run fast enough, why does Si Lian feel that something is wrong?"

Silian thought for a while and said,

"I didn't see his kung fu, but I just felt that the man came strangely. It was too coincidental. According to what the Naya man said, Yue Shiqi had already escaped from the Yue Mansion for half a month. How could it be too early or too late?" Just let us meet!"

It just so happened that he took the boat going north, met water bandits, and met them again after diving?

Silian couldn't say why, but she felt weird for no reason!

Mu Biao chuckled,
"This matter is easy to handle. Let people check whether the merchant ships going north from Yangzhou have been attacked by water bandits..."

They stayed in Yangzhou Mansion for another day, and first bought two houses. In order to prevent people from being found out, the land deed wrote Wang's mother's name. On this day, Mou Biao asked Mou Hu to inquire in the city again. I heard that there is a reward of 1000 taels of silver in the Nayue Mansion for chasing the escaped slaves, as long as they are delivered, it will be 1000 taels regardless of whether they live or die!

Mou Hu came back to report,

"Master, that kid is worth 1000 taels, why don't you take him and ask for a reward?"

Mou Biao smiled,
"Believe it or not, you probably won't get the 1000 taels of silver!"

Mou Hu Daqi,

"Why?"

Mou Biao smiled and said nothing, and when the land deed was over, they turned back to the boat. When Mou Long and Mou Hu saw Yue Shiqi who had been hiding on the boat and dared not get off the boat, they laughed strangely. Yue Shiqi didn't understand. So, carefully leaning over and bowing,
"Big brothers, why did you smile so weirdly when you saw the little one, but...but what's the matter?"

Mou Hu stroked his chin and looked him up and down,
"My lord wants to see how much your whole body weighs, including the fleshy belt, how can it be worth 1000 taels of silver!"

"1000 taels of silver?"

Yue Shiqi was a little puzzled, but Mou Hu patted him on the shoulder, smiled and left, and when the boat left the pier, Yue Shiqi asked the reason from the guard who followed Mou Biao, but A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hurried over to kowtow to Mou Biao.
"The little one kowtows to the master, thank you for saving the little one's life again!"

Mou Biao also smiled when he heard the words,
"You kid is clever..."

After all, he asked curiously,
"What did you do in the Yue family? I'm afraid it's not just as simple as killing someone by mistake. Otherwise... why did the Yue family offer a reward of 1000 taels of silver for you?"

Yue Shiqi bowed his head and thought for a while in response,

"This... the old owner of the little one was extremely domineering. When the little one fled to protect himself, he set fire to the back kitchen, which made the old owner lose face. Presumably because of this reason, he wholeheartedly wanted to take Going back with the little one, the Yue family has a lot of silver, and I feel comfortable buying one for 1000 taels of silver, which is something the old owner can do!"

"Oh... is it?"

Mou Biao glanced at him lightly, smiled and said,

"Fortunately...you met my master, who treats money like dung, just stay on the boat, and I will guarantee you a safe trip to Hangzhou!"

Yue Shiqi didn't speak, just kowtowed heavily, then got up and retreated...

When Mou Biao received the news from Yangzhou Mansion the next day, he opened it and smiled...

The paper was the news that the Jin Yiwei in Yangzhou City sneaked into the Yue Mansion to find out. It turned out that Yue Shiqi did not accidentally kill someone at all, but he stole something very important like Yue Zhanyuan privately. Yue Zhanyuan was eager to get it back. A reward of 1000 taels of silver was offered, as long as the thing could not be known to outsiders, so they said to the outside world that it was the kid who accidentally killed his companion and wanted to take him back to kill him!
What exactly Yue Zhanyuan lost was that not many people in Yue's family knew about it, but Jin Yiwei didn't eat dry food, so he was found out.
"...lost the ledger?"

Mou Biao raised his brows and became interested. He knew that if the account book in the account room outside was lost, Yue Zhanyuan would probably not be so nervous. According to the rules, the account book is usually in duplicate and kept in two places. Yes, the fear is that it will be lost, or omitted and altered, so the lost account book must not be the account book on the bright side.
