Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid
Chapter 18 A good man has a safe life
Huang Laoshu had broken into a private house before, and there was also the issue of cheating in the casino. He was also a weak person, so Gu Yue could handle it by just scare him and seeing some blood.
But Li Taohua was not like Huang Laoshu. Looking at his sturdy and strong figure, you could tell that he was not a timid person. Being able to run a Nanfeng Pavilion was more capable than running a brothel.
Moreover, Li Taohua had the contract in hand. Although the sale of children for prostitution was despised by people, it was permitted by the laws of Northern Qin. Gu Yue had broken the contract, violated the law, and his behavior was outrageous. If he could not pay the compensation...
"Master Taohua, I really can't pay twenty taels of silver." Gu Yue decided to tell the truth.
"Since you are selling your son for money, you naturally can't come up with money." The young man mocked.
Before he could finish his sentence, Li Taohua suddenly said to the young man, "This matter has nothing to do with you, sir. But I see that you are really enthusiastic and have been listening to the excitement for a long time. Since you are so kind-hearted, why don't you give the silver to Gu Dashi?"
Beautiful! Gu Yue shouted in his heart. This person talks too much, so annoying.
The young man frowned slightly: "The owner is calculating. If everyone has to pay for breaking the contract, what is the point of the contract?"
Li Taohua smiled and looked at Gu Yue: "It seems that this gentleman is also pretending to be kind. Gu Dashi, pay the money?"
At this time, Gu Xu gently pulled Gu Yue's hand. Gu Yue turned around and saw Gu Xu winking at him.
He walked out from behind Gu Yue, his expression calm but tinged with sadness, and spoke with a slightly hoarse voice like a teenager.
"Master Taohua, my family really can't afford that much money." Gu Xu lowered his eyes.
Gu Yue's heart tightened. Wouldn't this be seen by the master and servant?
"As a son, I naturally cannot ask my father to sell his land and house... Since he did something wrong, it is natural for me, as his son, to bear the responsibility."
"Well, then what?" Li Taohua's smile became more obvious.
Gu Xu looked up at the master and servant, and the young man met his eyes. As he got closer and saw Gu Xu's face clearly, the young man was even more shocked, and his expression became solemn.
"Since these two have no intention of helping, I...I can only go back with the owner. This way, it won't be considered as my father breaking the contract. Please don't bear a grudge against him."
As he spoke, Gu Xu walked over to Li Taohua, lowered his head and looked submissive, with just the right amount of humiliation revealed on his face.
"That's great. I'll pay you the remaining one or two taels of silver right away. What do you think, Dashi?" Li Taohua looked at Gu Yue with a smile.
The master and servant also looked at Gu Yue, their faces somewhat tense.
Gu Yue suddenly had an inspiration.
"That's the best. Since Gu Xu is so sensible, let him follow the owner of Taohua Pavilion." Gu Yue frowned, "It also saves me from spending so much money!"
The young man couldn't believe it: "You looked like a loving father just now, why did you change your face now?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Gu Yue showed his rogue temperament to the fullest, "This is my son, you didn't pay a penny, why are you pointing fingers?"
The man in black holding the knife was obviously trying to hold back his laughter.
The young man could see that these three men were working together to cheat him, and he wanted to just leave, but he couldn't.
A few people from afar looked over here boldly, as if they were watching a good show. Li Taohua was a well-known figure in Liuli Town, and the master and servant were both dressed in expensive clothes.
He met Gu Xu's eyes. The young man had tattered clothes and rough skin, but his eyes were as calm as water.
"Master, it seems that I have to be a good guy today." The man in black holding the knife tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth.
"Okay, okay." The young man was obviously angry. He raised his hand to signal the man with the knife, and the latter took out a twenty-liang silver ingot from his sleeve pocket.
Of course, he didn't feel sorry for the money, he was just angry that he was fooled!
If she wasn't really worried that Gu Xu would be sold to a brothel by this ferocious-looking man, if she didn't want to hear the rumor that "there is a prostitute in a certain brothel who looks exactly like the third young master of the Su family", if she didn't want to leave a bad impression on Gu Xu that she didn't help him...
He doesn't care about this kind of business!
Li Taohua took the silver, folded the deed paper, tore it up, and threw the pieces on the ground.
Littering is also very elegant.
Just as he was getting angry, the young man saw Gu Xu walk out from beside the two big men and bow to him.
"Thank you very much for saving me today, Gu Xu will remember this."
The words were well said, and the young man looked better. He still looked at Gu Yue with an unhappy look, and spoke to Gu Xu as if warning him.
"You'd better be careful with this guy. I don't think he is a good person."
He didn't say that Gu Yue was not his biological father. Even if he had confirmed some things, it was not easy to explain clearly in the current situation.
"But since I'm such a kind-hearted person, I'll help you a little more. Stay out of the spotlight recently."
After saying this, the young man and the man with the knife turned and left.
Li Taohua and the other two were left there. Li Taohua looked at Gu Xu with a smile, took out two taels of silver from her pocket and put them in his hand.
"Share it." Then he turned to Gu Yue, "Gu Xu is smart, but I didn't expect you to react so quickly."
"Ah?" Gu Yue was confused.
He seemed to understand that Li Taohua was talking about the fact that she had just cheated someone out of money, but why did this sound...
Do they know each other generally?
"I have some friendship with the owner of the Peach Blossom Pavilion. He was the one who told me that you wanted to sell me to a brothel." Gu Xu explained.
So that's why. No wonder Gu Xu got the news in advance and wanted to beat Gu Dashi to death in bed.
But Gu Yue always felt that something was not right.
Li Taohua smiled: "Now it seems that you have really changed a little as Gu Xu said. I won't bother with you about breaking the contract."
However, Li Taohua had no intention of talking to him any further and left with her people.
and so……
So even if he hadn't traveled through time, Gu Xu wouldn't have really been sold to a brothel. Li Taohua's tone sounded like she was a friend of Gu Xu. So why would the prince save her?
But if he had not traveled through time, Gu Dashi would have been beaten to death by Gu Xu with a hoe that night.
Since Gu Dashi died when Gu Xu was a teenager, who was brought to the capital by Regent Gu Xu in the original text?
Is it possible that even if he hadn't traveled through time, Gu Dashi wouldn't have died?
Gu Yue felt his head was in a mess.
"Dad, let's go eat." Gu Xu saw him in a daze and came over to hold Gu Yue's hand.
There were some calluses on the boy's hands, which felt dry and comfortable to hold.
Gu Yue came back to his senses, looked at Gu Xuru's expression, and saw a bit of admiration on that childish face.
...Forget it. He wasn't too clear about the plot of the original text. Anyway, the world didn't collapse, which meant that the important plot line hadn't changed.
"It's almost noon. Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
"Eat noodles." said Gu Xu.
"Okay! I happen to know where the food is good." Gu Dashi often eats out in Liuli Town and knows all the restaurants here well.
Gu Xu held Gu Yue's hand with one hand, and let the other hand hang down with the palm open.
Under the two brand new silver pieces was a folded piece of paper.
