Master of Rebirth

Chapter 68 Gambling Debt

Not long after Wang Long was assassinated, he made a public appearance. Although his expression was not very good, at least he suppressed many rumors.Jia Miner's funeral was very hasty. In order to save face, the Wang family only said that Jia Miner was humiliated and committed suicide after bringing the culprit to justice.

As for whether Wang Long really became a eunuch, Wang Qi didn't know.All he knew was that Wang Feng, who had hurried over from other places, fell ill, and then handed over the business to Wang Liang. He took Wang Long around to seek medical treatment, but he rarely stayed in Pingyao County.The second aunts Zhu and Xue looked sad all day long, and even Wang and Li, who had always been bluffing, calmed down a lot.During this period of time, she didn't even give Wang Qi any trouble, nor even gave Wang Qi an ugly face.

After Wang Long's accident, Jinbao knew that he couldn't stay in Pingyao County any longer, so he asked Wang Qi for a way out.Wang Qi didn't make things difficult for him, and gave him a sum of money to take his family to other places to make a living.

Without the stumbling blocks of family members, Wang Qi's life is much easier.Linglongzhai's business is already on the way, and Wang Sheng is a capable person. After running around all day, he manages the business properly.Seeing that he was considerate and decent in handling affairs, Wang Qi simply became a shopkeeper. Reading, painting, and visiting friends on weekdays were the days he had always hoped to live in his previous life.

Although Zhao Aman felt that Wang Qi's behavior was too vicious and felt uncomfortable, but after listening to Mrs. Ma's persuasion, she didn't show it, and the two of them got along well.

One day, Zhao Aman went to Linglongzhai to look for Mrs. Ma, and when he was passing through the busy market, he suddenly heard the voice of a woman calling for help.

"Help! Help..."

The sound was heart-piercing, and the people on the road boiled like chicken blood.Everyone craned their necks and looked ahead, trying to see what was going on.

The cries for help were getting closer, and there were some men's curses and messy footsteps in the middle. It was likely that someone was chasing a girl.Zhao Aman followed the sound and saw that the people in front retreated to the left and right, giving way to the middle.A woman ran over staggeringly, and a group of thugs really followed behind her.

Seeing that she was about to be overtaken, the girl staggered and fell to the ground with a cry of alarm. The pursuers immediately rushed up and held her firmly.

The chasing men were vicious and tall, and they were all dressed in uniform. They looked like thugs raised in brothels or gambling houses.Although chasing people all the way, there was a lot of commotion, but the people around did not dare to go up to the hero to save the beauty, they only dared to watch around.

Zhao Aman has seen this a lot. Many gamblers lost their money in gambling houses and had no money to repay their debts. They were often chased and beaten by people all over the street.There are also some girls who are newly sold to brothels, because they do not want to receive customers, it is common for them to sneak out and be arrested.

The people in front were crowded with people, people next to each other, and soon the crowd was tight, and Zhao Aman could only see through the gap between the feet of the people, a few thugs were easily pressing down on the girl's weak body.The girl's wailing sounded frequently, which made people feel sad.

Entering a brothel is tantamount to jumping into a pit of fire. No one wants to degenerate. The women inside are all poor people.Zhao Aman sighed, he had no money to rescue them from the sea of ​​misery, and there was nothing he could do in such a situation.

I really couldn't bear to watch it, Zhao Aman was about to bypass the crowd and go to Linglongzhai, when the woman suddenly called out, "Aman, help me."

It sounded like a girl's voice, Zhao Aman's whole body trembled, he quickly stopped his steps, turned around and squeezed into the crowd.

The embarrassed woman who was pinned to the ground by the thugs and bound her hands and feet was indeed a girl.Zhao Aman was stunned for a moment, and thought: "We haven't seen each other for a few months, how did Sister Yatou get reduced to this point?"

At this moment, the girl was covered in injuries, her face was full of tears, her hair was messed up, and even her clothes were in tatters.She had just escaped from the Hundred Flowers Courtyard, behind her were vicious thugs, and beside her were cold and indifferent passers-by.The moment she fell to the ground, the girl looked desperately at the people around her, trying to find a glimmer of hope, hoping that someone could save her from the sea of ​​suffering.It's a pity that the people around are strange and indifferent.The moment she saw Zhao Aman, the girl seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, desperately calling for help.

"You slut, how dare you call me a chaste woman? In the end, you won't be able to receive customers as usual." A thug slapped the girl on the face, and her face was immediately swollen.

Before Zhao Aman could stop her, she saw a fat, powdered woman running over panting, holding her skirt, "Oh, don't slap her in the face, she has to pick up guests tonight, and her face is swollen and swollen." How to meet the guests."

Hearing the words "pick up guests", Zhao Aman was immediately out of breath.Seeing the old bustard directing people, he wanted to pull the girl away.Zhao Aman rushed up quickly, stopped in front of them, and said, "You can't take her away."

"Where did the yellow-haired boy come from, how dare he trouble Baihuayuan." A strong thug restrained Zhao Aman with only one hand, and then pushed him hard on the ground.

During this period of time, although Zhao Aman grew a lot taller, he was by no means a match for this person.He couldn't help but annoyed that he was useless, that he couldn't even protect himself.

"Aman, Ahman." The girl looked at Zhao Aman being pushed aside, fearing that this hard-won life-saving straw would abandon her, her eyes were full of fear and panic.

The girl's begging and helpless eyes made Zhao Aman feel pity, and also aroused his inner desire to protect.Not to mention the girl's kindness to him and grandma, even if the two are just ordinary neighbors, he can't stand by and watch.

"Let her go quickly." Zhao Aman stood up, facing a group of powerful thugs, and said sonorously.

"Hey, I really met someone who is not afraid of death, and wants to be a hero to save the beauty before the hair grows."

The thugs sneered, rolled up their sleeves, and prepared to teach Zhao Aman a lesson and let him learn to be good.

"Oh, there may be some misunderstanding, please don't get excited." The old bustard behind him has sharp eyes, and he can see that Zhao Aman is wearing the clothes uniformly issued by the servants of the Wang family.Afraid of the master behind him, the bustard hastily tugged on the sleeves of a few thugs, so that they would not panic to attack Zhao Aman.

Although the thugs were rude, they listened to the old lady Xu very much.Seeing her stop, they all stopped.

The old bustard turned around and said to Zhao Aman with a smile: "This young master loves the fragrance and loves the jade, and cherishes my newly arrived daughter. Mom, I can understand. But everything must be reasonable, and our Baihuayuan is not a place to force girls into prostitution. , this girl's father and elder brother lost the money in a bet, and pawned her to us with 200 taels. When the time limit came, they couldn't take out the money to redeem her. This person is the girl from our Baihuayuan, and the deed of sale clearly stated Chu Ming understands that everything is signed and pledged, even if I go to the county magistrate, I will not be afraid, mother."

Of course it didn't cost that much money to buy a girl, it was just the old bustard's nonsense, trying to scare Zhao Aman.

"If this young man wants to be a hero and save the United States, he will redeem him with silver, 200 taels, not less than a penny. Mom, I have the right to do a good deed, and I don't care about the food and lodging money for these few days with you." The old bustard rolled his eyes. , hehe smiled, "If you can't get the money, then it's not up to you. We are a brothel here, not a shantang. Mom, I am kind, but there are so many people in the yard who still have to eat. Since If you are a prostitute, you have to keep your duty as a prostitute. Do you want us to confess her like aunts? Besides, if one or two don’t pick up customers, where are the men going to be happy?”

These words were quite blatant, and the men around him echoed, and they looked at the girl with a bit of wretchedness.Some people have already started asking the thugs for prices in low voices.

Zhao Aman's face turned blue with anger, but he couldn't say a word.

The old bustard smiled triumphantly, and said: "Master, if you want to, you can redeem this girl. If you just want to find something new, you can sell this girl for a few dozen taels to relieve your boredom overnight. This is already clear enough, everyone The guys are all busy people, so I won’t be here to serve mom, see you guys in the building.”

After the old bustard finished speaking, she took the girl and walked away.

"Save me, Ah Man, you must save me." The girl was grabbed by several thugs, unable to struggle, she could only keep looking back at Zhao Ah Man, her eyes full of pleading.

Among the people watching, there are also a few acquaintances who do business in front of the theater, and they all know Zhao Aman girl.

Seeing them, Zhao Ahman hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Why did sister girl enter such a place?"

"The girl is also a hard-working person, with a father and brother who committed crimes. I heard that her father owed gambling debts, was beaten up by the people in the casino, and died within a few days after returning home. Her brother was terrified of being beaten. So I sold my sister cruelly." The aunt who sells donkey meat and fire sighs.

Seeing that Zhao Aman was frowning, it seemed that he wanted to save the girl.The aunt couldn't help persuading: "Ah Man, although you have entered the Wang family to be a book boy, you are only a servant after all. 200 taels of silver is not a small amount. How can you afford it? Even if you can come up with the money, you can I can't stand the girl's house is a bottomless pit. If you redeem her today, that bastard brother of hers will sell her in tomorrow. It's rare to be able to help you with a word when you meet on the road, but don't make things difficult for yourself height."

Having said all that should be said, the aunt still has her own affairs to be busy, so she sighed and left.

Zhao Aman's heart was extremely heavy.Now that we have met, it is impossible to let him die without saving him, but Zhao Aman really can't afford 200 taels of silver.

He went to Linglongzhai with a lot of worries, saw Mrs. Ma, and told in detail about the girl she met on the street, Zhao Aman said: "Grandma, I want to save the girl and sister."

Mrs. Ma didn't speak.It's not that she is cruel, and she doesn't want to see a good girl reduced to a prostitute, but it's not that she doesn't want to control it, but she can't control it.Since ancient times, helping the emergency is not helping the poor, not to mention that there is a gambler brother in their family, who saved her this time, and the second, third, and fourth time are waiting behind, it is impossible to spend money again and again.In case one day I really can't get the money out, the girl will end up like this sooner or later.Instead of this, it is better to die early and be reborn early.

But Mrs. Ma knew Zhao Aman's temper too well, so she couldn't tell him this directly.

"I've saved ten taels of silver these days, and I'm still short of 190 taels of silver." Zhao Aman looked at Mrs. Ma and said, "I can borrow the rest. I believe it will take a few days to get it all together."

Knowing that Zhao Aman's idea was too simple, Mrs. Ma pondered for a while, and decided to retreat, "Grandma still has 20 taels of silver here, and I can give it to you. But Aman, who do we ask to borrow money? You I was able to save this money because the young master was lenient, took care of our food and lodging, and gave us more rewards. Everyone we know has a family to support, and many people live worse than us. Where do you let them go? How about collecting money for you? If there is not enough money tonight, the girl will definitely pick up the guests."

After hearing this, Zhao Aman's eyes dimmed.

"Maybe it's fate." Mrs. Ma sighed, and said, "Young girl, that child's life is suffering, and we have enough energy to spare."

Knowing that Mrs. Ma was right, Zhao Aman's heart was filled with guilt, "It's all my fault. Back then, sister girl begged me to tell the young master to let her come to work in the Wang family. But I forgot, if I begged the young master at that time, and the girl sister will not be in this situation."

"How can I blame you for this matter." Mrs. Ma comforted: "You didn't enter the Wang family casually. You were able to come in because of Mr. Liu's face. Even if you ask the young master, the young master may not agree. Look at the house in Dongyuan. How many maids are there?"

"By the way, there are still young masters." Finally thought of a way, Zhao Aman's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said to Mrs. Ma: "Grandma, you have a good rest, I'll go back first."

After saying this, Zhao Aman ran away in a hurry.

Knowing that he was going to beg Wang Qi, Mrs. Ma knew she couldn't stop him, so she could only sigh.
