Uncle Xin's surname is naturally Jiang, and his name is majestic and majestic. He is called Haitian, but his name does not match his name. He looks like a dog on the outside, but inside he is just a mess of filth.
Early this morning, he brought the group of gamblers to the Gu family courtyard to make trouble, and both Gu Xiran and Shu Huan underestimated how shameless he was. They originally thought that he was being targeted by the gamblers after revealing his fortune. He would be forced to bring people to other courtyards to make trouble, and he never thought that he would do it voluntarily. Even when he signed the pleasing contract of prostitution with Du Qiu, he had already made up his mind and planned to Pit the Gu family.
He made an agreement with the group of gamblers that if the Gu family is willing to give someone else, he will take back the deed of sale and return the money. Afterwards, the gamblers will use the excuse of the Gu family to hide the escaped maidservant, and after they get into trouble, they will extort some money for compensation and turn around. The enjoyment was taken away by the gamblers, the gambling debts were written off, and the extorted money was divided fifty-fifty.
If the Gu family refuses to give someone, the gamblers will also clamor for someone, and he will come out at the right time to be a peacemaker, let the two sides compete for price, and whoever gives more money will take the person away. Of course, they will only exaggerate their value and money, and when they have reached the point they will give up fighting for people. They still take the money and go back to share the account. It does not matter how much money they get. Let him pay off the debt and then drop two dollars. Should still be enough.
The abacus was pretty good, and when the trouble came to the gate of the Gu family's other courtyard, the person in charge hurried in and reported, and led them into the other courtyard after a short while, and brought them to the main hall to meet them. Gu Xiran.
Going all the way, looking around, the luxuriant flowers and trees in the other courtyard, the looming pavilions, and the constant servants and servants all amazed the group of gamblers who have never seen the world, only to find that the Gu family is bigger than they expected. If you want money, you don't want to be stingy to spend two dollars to solve the disaster, so your heart becomes more and more excited, and your palms are sweating.
When they got to the front of the hall, before they entered the door, they saw a young man sitting on a chair, holding a teacup and drinking tea with his head bowed. Beside him were two girls with outstanding looks. The temperament on the left was outstanding. , the appearance on the right is sweet and delicate, they are all stunning beauties they have never seen before, and their faces can't help but show a look of covetous envy.
Gu Xiran had a panoramic view of the expressions of these people. It would be fine if they only looked at the beautiful scenery, but Shu Huan wanted to watch the fun, so he insisted on dressing up as a maid and serving on his left side. Now being stared at by these scoundrels, he I feel very unhappy.
Fortunately, he was not happy, he was used to it calmly, with only a proper three-point dissatisfaction on his face, he said calmly: "I heard from the steward, are you here to ask for someone?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Haitian guessed that the righteous master could not be wrong. He first showed a face of extreme suffering, and went up to make amends repeatedly, "Master Gu, I'm really sorry, I'm the bastard." , I saw you sent someone to buy my niece yesterday, so I wanted to covet two more money and signed the deed of sale, in fact... "
He deliberately kept his mouth shut, so he didn't say anything.
Seeing that he was acting, Gu Xiran naturally cooperated to the end, and said with a sneer, "Actually, you have already sold him, haven't you?"
"Yes, yes" Jiang Haitian really put a lot of money into it. He agreed, and then slapped his face with his teeth, and said, "I really think he's fucking something, thinking about it anyway." No one knew, so I was obsessed with ghosts... I didn't think about it and let these uncles catch me. When I heard that my runaway niece had disappeared, I immediately forced me to bring them to the door... I'm really sorry , I... I was also forced... Please take my niece to them for the sake of my being extremely poor to do such a thing... Otherwise, they will have to force me to pay back the money , I can't afford it, they will beat me to death..."
He said it in an extremely pitiful manner, as if he was forced to do all these things, it was a last resort, and it was worthy of forgiveness, and he really squeezed two tears out, Shu Huan watched but felt that he couldn't say it. The greasy taste is like seeing the tears of a crocodile.
"It's none of my business whether they beat you to death or not?" Gu Xiran took out the deed of sale from his sleeve, slapped it on the table, and said angrily, "I only know that I spend money. Black and white, can you still go back on your word?"
"But..." Jiang Haitian rubbed his hands and looked back at the group of gamblers with pitiful eyes.
This was a signal of trouble, and the gamblers came on stage one after another. One of them, a middle-aged man in soap-colored clothes with a thin face, pushed Jiang Haitian away from his face, and bent down to shake out a contract of sale from his shoes. : "See, we also have a deed of sale, and the date of signing is earlier than you. It is reasonable to say that it is also in our possession. Why do you hide it and not return it?"
The other gamblers echoed: "Yes, hand him over quickly, it's a crime to hide and escape a maidservant."
"If you don't hand it over, you can go to Libao, otherwise, please ask the folks to judge this truth."
"There is nothing to say, if you don't hand over people, we won't leave"
"Or just pay us ten times the value stated in the deed of sale. Whether you want someone or money, you decide for yourself."
…
There was an immediate chatter in the hall, but Gu Xiran still sensed their true intentions from it—
people or money
Do you really want to blackmail him
Gu Xiran was a little depressed. Could it be that he was too realistic in his acting, did he really look like someone who could be easily deceived and would give in when he was scared
"You guys are so rascals," just thinking about it, Meimei couldn't help but interjected, pointing at Jiang Haitian and saying: "When my second master bought someone, he didn't hear that this person had an owner, and besides, there was no shame on his face." Engraved with the word escape maid, if you want to ask the wrong question, you go to him, what are you messing around with us?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, that clear, crisp voice captivated the group of gamblers, and all eyes fell on her alone.
The wages of avarice is death.
If it is said that the Gu family's wealth had frightened the gamblers before, when the quarrel broke out, Gu Xiran hadn't kicked them out by throwing bowls and tables, but reasoned with them, and they would regard him as a misbehaving Shen, the young girl who is easy to bully, has no scruples, and some people even dare to say something to tease Meimei: "The little girl looks good, it will be fine if your second master sends you to us, brothers, don't you think so? "
"yes-"
The sound of booing in unison echoed in the room, and the obscene laughter also polluted people's ears.
"You—" Meimei was so angry that she was about to cry: "Second Lord, quickly call two people, tie them up and send them to the government."
Gu Xiran was also very angry in his heart, but he still didn't show it on his face, he just made a hesitant look and said: "The government..."
He intentionally lengthened the tone of his contemplation, and sure enough, Jiang Haitian couldn't hold back and took the bait, and said with a bitter face: "Don't you guys have written evidence, if you want to make a fuss with the government, not only will your government have to pay you back, but even ...Even I can't please you, you will definitely be punished... Besides, your family is so rich, if you want to go to the government, why don't you get skinned by the official?"
Gu Xiran squinted at him, and said angrily, "You are the one who caused this, so what do you say?"
Seeing the question, Jiang Haitian continued to droop his bitter face and said: "If you want me to say, you should discuss it again... Or, I will return the money to you, and you will hand over the person and the deed of sale to them to take away?"
"I can't do it." Gu Xiran suddenly stood up: "Everyone has entered my Gu family, and you are going to leave if you want to, so where will I put my face?"
