Chapter 536: companion

 Chapter 536 Companions

Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinli have a habit of checking the terrain first whenever they go to a new place. They have arrived at Le'an Street in the north of the city where Jiang's house is located. The two of them had figured out the terrain clearly last time.

Qin Sanlang followed Gu Jinli and the others to an intersection, turned directly into the intersection, then took a small path, went around behind the little beggar, and followed the little beggar in turn.

The little beggar knew some fists and kicks, but he was no match for Qin Sanlang. He didn't even know that he was being followed, and he followed Gu Jinli and the others cautiously, wanting to see where they were going.

When Third Grandpa saw that Qin Sanlang was missing, he hurriedly asked: "Where has Sanlang gone?"

Gu Jinli said: "He went to help me buy food."

She said this because she didn’t want Third Grandpa to worry, and she didn’t want to waste time explaining.

After hearing this, Third Grandpa said to her: "You just know how to use Saburo. From now on, you can do small things by yourself. If you really can't do it yourself, ask Saburo for help."

 “Okay.” Gu Jinli responded simply.

After saying that, the group of people followed Old Uncle Cheng and walked all the way to Jiang's house.

 Not long after, they returned to Jiang's house.

 Old Uncle Cheng said: "Mr. Gu, these servants and old slaves can make arrangements. You can rest first. You can have dinner in half an hour."

And asked them carefully what they wanted to eat?

The master and the second master have specially told them that they must entertain the Gu family and the others well and not neglect them.

Third Grandpa smiled and said: "We are farmers, we don't care what we eat, as long as we have hot food."

 Old Uncle Cheng smiled and nodded: "Old slave, I understand."

After saying that, he took the servants bought by the Gu family and left, went to the servants' room in the house, and placed them in the servants' room.

Gu Jinli found Kan Liu and said hello to him: "Uncle Liu, I'm going out for a while. You can protect the third grandpa and the others in the house. If the third grandpa asks my aunt, you can help me cover."

Kan Liu also discovered the little beggar. The reason why he did not follow Sanlang to arrest him was because he was afraid of falling into someone else's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Hearing this, he said, "Okay, I will protect Mr. Gu and the others."

He then told Gu Jinli: "If anything goes wrong, the young master just needs to run away first. It doesn't matter if Sanlang is caught. He is a boy with good skills and will find a way to escape on his own."

Gu Jinli turned the dagger in his hand and said, "Well, uncle Liu, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and slipped out of the back door of Jiang's house. He came to a small alley not far from Jiang's house but where few people walked around.

There is a shabby hut at the end of the alley, and past the hut is a wasteland full of thatch.

This place was discovered last time when she and Qin Sanlang went to poison the Li family in disguise. This was the road they took when they returned to Jiang's house after poisoning.

Qin Sanlang was already waiting there, and beside him knelt a little beggar whose hands and feet were tied and his mouth was gagged.

The little beggar is in his early ten years, and he is wearing rags, but his face is very clean, and there is no bad smell on his body. It can be seen that he is a new beggar, and he still retains the good habits of the previous family, and he knows how to wash his face and take a bath.

Qin Sanlang saw Gu Jinli and walked over and said: "The person is caught. He knows some fists and kicks, but his attacks are very conservative and he will not hurt people's vitals at will. It is the fighting technique of the arrester and the bodyguard. I guess it is similar to the one we bought newly." Five little bodyguards are related." Gu Jinli nodded after hearing this, walked up to the little beggar, and said to him: "Did you hear that? We already know your details. If you don't want Qiu Lang and the others to get into trouble, why don't you Tell us why you are following us, otherwise..."

She smiled like a bad person: "I will sell Qiu Lang and the others to the mines."

“Uh huh!” The little beggar was so frightened that he cried and shook his head.

After Gu Jinli's intimidation, Qin Sanlang felt that the time had come, so he came over and took the ball of cloth from the little beggar's mouth, and said: "Who are you? What is the purpose of following us? What are Qiu Lang and the others doing by selling themselves as slaves? A shady idea? Tell me!"

The last word he said was so fierce that it made the little beggar tremble again. After regaining his composure, he hurriedly said: "I, I'll say it."

The little beggar was indeed following them for the Qiulang Five, but he just wanted to know where they were sold, so that he could redeem them later when he could save enough money. He didn't mean to do anything bad.

 The five men from Qiulang would sell themselves into slavery in order to save the lives of their remaining companions.

Qiu Lang and the others came from the Changshun Escort Bureau in Yongtai Mansion. On the night when Yongtai Mansion was occupied by Peng Changyong and his companions, the bodyguards of the Changshun Escort Bureau tried their best to protect this group of escapers.

But Peng Changyong and the others were from the border army, and they brought with them all soldiers who had seen blood. And the owner of the Changshun Escort Bureau had fled with half of the escorts when Yongtai Mansion was unstable. The escorts who stayed behind were not at all. After Peng Changyong and his opponents sent these young people away, they were all killed by the officers and soldiers who caught up.

"My father and Uncle Qiu died like this... We couldn't even save their corpses, wuwuwu..." the little beggar cried miserably.

After crying, he continued: "Afterwards, Brother Lang took us all the way south to He'an Mansion. But we had no household registration and no money, so we couldn't settle down. My brother and sister Li were sick again. He had a high fever all day and fell asleep. In order to raise money for their medical treatment, Brother Lang could only take Brother A Duo and others to sell themselves, and use the money from selling their bodies to buy medicine for Sister Li and others."

At this point, the little beggar cried even more miserably: "Brother Lang and the others only got five taels of silver from selling their bodies. They took the medicine for Sister Li and the others for two days and ran out... Sister Li and the others are getting more and more sick. Since yesterday, We haven't woken up since the beginning... Wuwuwu... We didn't know what to do, and we were worried that Brother Lang and the others would be sold to an unknown place, so we stood guard at the gate of Guanya, wanting to follow Brother Lang and the others to take a look. Wherever they were sold, we can find them later..."

The little beggar kept kowtowing and said to Gu Jinli and Qin Sanlang: "Brothers and sisters, please don't sell Brother Lang and the others to the mines. It's all my fault. I kowtow to apologize to you. Don't sell them." Brother Lang and the others."

Qin Sanlang stared at the little beggar for a while, then looked at Gu Jinli and winked at her. After the two of them walked a little further away, he said, "It doesn't look like a lie."

Gu Jinli nodded: "He has a very faint medicinal smell on his body. It should mean that someone in the family is indeed sick."

Qin Sanlang asked: "What do you want to do?"

Gu Jinli looked at Qin Sanlang and said, "Of course it's to save people."

 Showing favors or something like that is a good way to win the loyalty of your subordinates.

Moreover, the owner of the Changshun Escort Agency had already fled with his family. There was no young owner of the Escort Agency among the sick people. There was no such thing as Qiu Lang and the others did not listen to her but went to listen to the young owner of the Escort Agency after she rescued them. .

 It’s a good deal to save.

Qin Sanlang also thought about her wish to win people's hearts by showing kindness, and nodded: "It's feasible. It just so happens that you want to buy some more people."

He added: "However, you must sign a death contract with them. If they are unwilling to sign, you cannot take them with you."
