Wu Xuan picked a brush brush from the shelf, gestured twice in the void, and asked, "Master Huaiyu, is your surname Gu?"

The shopkeeper stood with hands down with a smile on his face, without answering.

Wu Xuan put the brush pen in his hand back to its original position, and took Doudou out of the store.

Doudou asked: "Brother Xuan, do you also know Mr. Huaiyu?"

Wu Xuan snorted his hair, "Silly Doudou, I haven't noticed it yet! Let me ask you, Mr. Huaiyu, doesn't he like to tie his hair up, and only uses a hair tie to tie his hair behind his head .”

Doudou nodded.

Wu Xuan said again: "Have you ever asked what his name is?"

Doudou said: "He said that if you make friends with paintings, you should use names to match them."

"What name is appropriate, he just didn't dare to report his real name!" Wu Xuan said, "He is Gu Jin, the one I mentioned to you before, who paid special attention to your jade pendant."

"Ah?" Doudou had never encountered such a situation of being deliberately approached before, so she was not prepared at all.He worried: "Brother Xuan, did I cause trouble?"

Wu Xuan said: "Don't worry, although I don't know whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, but so far, it seems that he has no intention of hurting you."

Doudou nodded, "I also think Mr. Huaiyu is not like a bad guy, his paintings have a very pure beauty."

"What does it mean to be pure?" Wu Xuan's tone became sour again.

"Purely, although the painting skills are skilled, it is only for better expressing the artistic conception, and it does not overwhelm the host." Doudou thought for a while, but couldn't think of a suitable way to describe it, so she could only explain it this way.

"Oh." Wu Xuan responded without emotion, and walked along the shops on the main street.

Doudou followed, grabbed Wu Xuan's two fingers, and shook, "Brother Xuan."

"what?"

"If I meet someone new in the future, I will definitely show it to Brother Xuan as soon as possible."

Wu Xuan snorted lightly, and clasped his fingers backwards, covering Doudou's with his entire palm.

The two walked slowly along the main street, and the hustle and bustle around them seemed to have nothing to do with them.

-

Until, the noise from a shop ahead was too loud, accompanied by the sound of beating people with sticks.

Wu Xuan looked over there, and found that it turned out to be Yulin Pavilion, which is usually very deserted.

Surrounded by people watching the excitement, a fat middle-aged man stood at the top of the steps and said loudly:

"Ji Changfeng's daughter, Ji Chuan'er, stole the owner's property, ran away after being discovered, ran into the wall in a panic and broke her forehead. My Zhang family disdains to hire such a long-term laborer with bad conduct, and sold their contract today. "

Ji Qing was pinned to the ground by two guys, arguing loudly: "Obviously you are the bastard who forced my little sister! Where is my little sister? Let me go!"

Zhang Zhichang ignored him, and ordered the clerk to take out a confession letter and hand it in front of Ji Changfeng, "Master Ji, it's because you have worked for Zhang's family for 30 years. As long as you sign this confession letter, I will not report the theft to the Yamen."

Ji Qing struggled, "Father, you can't sign! It's obviously not our fault. Zhang Zhichang, you bastard! How is my little sister? I want to take her to see a doctor!"

Ji Changfeng stared at Zhang Zhichang's hypocritical face, his eyes were tearing apart.

Zhang Zhichang said again: "Ji Chuan'er stole property and ran too fast, his forehead was cut and bleeding profusely. If you hesitate any longer, the blood will dry up."

"Send my little sister to the hospital first! Zhang Zhichang, you murdered people! If something happens to my little sister, you won't be able to escape!" Ji Qing yelled.

Zhang Zhichang snorted coldly, because he was afraid that he would be responsible if someone died, that's why he was so anxious to ask Ji Changfeng to sign the confession.

The Dalan Kingdom abolished the slavery system of the previous dynasty, and all servants are long-term laborers who signed contracts.Some people were bought out by the master's family at one time, and signed a long contract of 60 or even 300 years, which seemed to be no different from the servants of the previous dynasty.

But the two are still fundamentally different.Long-term workers are not slaves. Once a person dies and goes to the Yamen, the master's family will also be held responsible.

He just wanted to play with Ji Chuan'er, but he didn't expect the little girl to be so violent that she bumped her head against the wall, causing a big hole in her head and bleeding all over her face.

Now the person has passed out, and it is estimated that he will not survive.

If Ji Chuan'er died in his home, the yamen would definitely come to investigate. The newly appointed magistrate is said to be very upright, and he would definitely go to jail for such a crime.

Before Ji Chuan'er died, Ji Changfeng had to sign a confession to completely clear his responsibility.Then he resold the long contract of Ji Changfeng's family. In this way, the life and death of this family has nothing to do with him.

Zhang Zhichang threatened again: "Ji Changfeng, if you don't sign, you will have to carry back Ji Chuan'er's body." He believed in Ji Changfeng, and he must be more afraid of Ji Chuan'er's death than he was.

"I'll sign it!" Ji Changfeng lowered his head and his voice was hoarse, as if he had aged ten years suddenly.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Zhichang ordered the clerk behind him to take out a pen and inkpad, and said, "Press your fingerprint. Remember, Ji Chuaner stole property, and you pleaded guilty as a father. This matter has nothing to do with me."

Ji Changfeng pressed his fingerprints and said hoarsely, "Where is Chuan'er?"

Zhang Zhichang picked up the confession letter, looked at it carefully for a long while, blew on the wet ink pad, and said, "Since you have confessed your guilt, my Zhang family can't tolerate you thieves, so we must resell your contract."

"Where is Chuan'er?!" Ji Changfeng roared sharply.

Zhang Zhichang had already received the confession letter, and he became more confident. He folded the paper in his hand and said, "The 60-year long contract signed by the three of you, you and Ji Qing have 42 years left, and Ji Chuaner has 44 years left." year. I sold it at a discount, and it cost 270 taels of silver.”

"Either, you find a buyer, or you pay to redeem your own contract." Zhang Zhichang said.

Ji Changfeng's ancestral jade carving skills, he bought out Ji's family and signed a 60-year long contract, which really cost a lot of money.Now if it hadn't been for Ji Chuan'er's incident, he would still be reluctant to sell the Ji family and his son.

"As long as the contract is redeemed, I will naturally not be able to control your family of three." Zhang Zhichang held the three contracts in his hand and waved them in front of Ji Changfeng.

Ji Changfeng's eyes turned gray all of a sudden.

Ji Qing rushed over to snatch the contract from Zhang Zhichang, cursing angrily, "Zhang Zhichang, you bastard, you don't keep your word! Where are we going to collect so much money in a short time!"

-

Wu Xuan watched the whole process from behind the crowd. Because of his height, he could clearly see Ji Changfeng's ashen eyes.

For a moment, compassion broke out, and she turned her head to look at Doudou, "Have you brought the bank note?"

Doudou nodded, took out the purse and handed it to him.

Wu Xuan pushed aside the people in front, stood up, and said, "270 taels of silver, I bought it."

Zhang Zhichang raised his eyebrows, "Really?"

Wu Xuan said: "You hand over Ji Changfeng's daughter, and I'll give you the money right away."

Zhang Zhichang saw that Wu Xuan was wearing a brocade gown with a high-grade jade pendant hanging around his waist, and he knew that the other party would definitely be able to afford the money.He said: "It's a deal." After speaking, he ordered the assistant to go to the back door to carry people.

It would be unlucky for Ji Chuaner to die in his home.

Two men came out carrying Ji Chuan'er, Ji Qing broke free from the two restraining him, and rushed over, "Little sister!"

Wu Xuan looked over and saw that Ji Chuan'er's head and face were covered with blood, and his clothes were covered with blood in patches. He collapsed on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Ji Changfeng also rushed over, and put his trembling fingers under Ji Chuan'er's nose. He held his breath for a moment, and felt a faint breath. He became excited, "Hurry up, send Chuan'er to the hospital!"

Ji Qingheng picked up Ji Chuan'er and ran towards the medical clinic not far away.Wu Xuan gave 270 taels of silver in exchange for the long contract of the three members of the Ji family.

Doudou looked in the direction of the medical center, her expression was full of worry, "Brother Xuan, after bleeding so much, will she—"

Wu Xuan shook his head, "I don't know either." However, with the current level of treatment in Dalan Kingdom, the chance of Ji Chuan'er surviving is very low.

Doudou lowered her head, a little sad.As a person who has lived under the shadow of death since childhood, the last thing he likes to see is death.

Wu Xuan looked at Doudou's expression, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Doudou, should we save her?"

Doudou was puzzled, "How to save? We're not doctors—ah——" He suddenly understood what Wu Xuan meant, they could give Ji Chuan'er a healing potion.

"But, after drinking the repair potion, the wound will disappear immediately." Doudou struggled.Once this kind of fairy method is known to outsiders, it will definitely bring them a lot of trouble.
