Chapter 128: Alcoholism
Seeing that Han Yi didn't reply, Jiu'er seemed to be caught up in some kind of memory and continued: "At that time, it only cost five or six taels of silver to buy older and poor-looking women to be used as handymen, and the women were the most beautiful. The price is ten taels or twenty taels of silver, and even for some people with special status, the price is even higher...
"For example, there are innocent family members involved in feuds and grievances, there are also some young men and women whose family fortunes are being traded, and there are even some criminal wives and concubines of officials...
"If these people are caught and trained by Ren Yazi, they will be like boiling eagles. They will first boil you down. Then those who have martial arts will cripple your martial arts. Then they will come from hundreds of miles away. Bring it here and sell it on the black market..."
"Why......"
As he spoke, Jiu'er seemed to recall some unbearable memories, feeling sad and his eyes were red, as if he was about to shed tears.
"Miss Jiu'er..."
Han Yi wanted to say something to comfort her, but the words came to his lips, but he didn't know how to say them out.
‘This damn world! ’
For a moment, he felt as if a big stone was pressing down on his heart, which was so uncomfortable.
At this time, Han Yicai felt more and more how cruel this world was to ordinary people.
"You sing about peony and plant it in the poetry garden, and you get drunk in the dogwood wine shop... This wine is indeed the famous dogwood wine... I feel comfortable all over the body when I smell it!"
The people arrived before they arrived. At this moment, there was a sound of drinking and writing poetry in the courtyard, and Han Yi quickly got up.
In the yard, there was an old man with a red face, a white beard on both sides of his cheeks, and a wine gourd in his hand. He seemed to be about the same age as Bai Sanren.
The old man stretched out his hand to rub his face, closed his eyes, picked up the yellow gourd in his hand, and just sniffed it in his nose.
He had an expression of intoxication and emotion on his face, as if the wine gourd in his hand was as intoxicating as the nectar and jade dew. He raised his head and held the wine gourd as if he was drinking.
Tick tock!
At this time, only a few drops of wine flowed from the mouth of the gourd, which was soaked and turned white by the wine.
"Oh, Mr. Huang, you went to drink secretly again. If my sister sees it, she will blame you again!"
Jiu'er looked anxious and quickly stepped forward to help.
"Haha, Xiao Jiu'er, sir, I just drank a gourd, I'm not drunk yet!"
Huang Ze shook his body, dodging Jiu'er's help.
"Master Huang..."
"Hey, isn't this Zuixianlou's 'Three Flavors Wine'?"
After entering the front hall, his eyes lit up, and he ignored Han Yi who got up, and directly pounced on the 'three-flavor wine' that Han Yi bought from Zuixianlou.
“This wine is soft in the mouth, sweet in the mouth, has a lingering fragrance after drinking, and has a long aftertaste. It is best to drink now!”
Huang Ze opened the cork of the wine and took a few gulps of wine. The wine overflowed from the corner of his mouth and flowed down his beard and onto his clothes.
"Mr. Huang, you actually drank in front of me...I must tell my sister!"
Jiu'er said angrily as he trotted over from the yard.
Da da da
A woman of about thirty years old walked out quickly from the back hall. She was quite pretty, with a round face. Perhaps she had lived there for a long time, and her skin looked a little unhealthy pale.
"Master Huang, you secretly drank again!"
She raised her eyebrows, put one hand on her hips, pointed the other at Huang Ze, and shouted.
"hey-hey......"
Huang Ze smiled and put down the wine jar.
"And Jiu'er, please keep an eye on him and don't let him buy wine!"
"It's not that I didn't notice it, it was brought by others..."
Jiu'er shrank her head, stuck out her tongue, glanced at Han Yi secretly, and muttered softly. Fortunately, her sister didn't hear it.
"Master, I'm sorry to make you look ugly...sit down for a while..."
The woman bowed to Han Yi and then dragged Huang Ze to the back hall.
"Who is this......"
Han Yi asked Jiu'er quietly. The aura of the woman just now was really overwhelming. She didn't look like a maid, but like a young lady.
"That's sister, Huang Xiuxiu...she takes care of family affairs..."
Jiuer also responded in a low voice.
"Hahaha, little friend, you are the Han Yi that Lao Bai mentioned!"
After a while, Huang Ze put on a clean robe and walked out of the back hall.
"Well, yes, yes, I can see from your face that you are a person who values affection and justice, and you are a good boy!"
After he came out, he looked Han Yi up and down.
"Master Huang!"
Han Yi smiled faintly, clasped his fists with both hands, and glanced at Huang Ze while saluting.
The comprehensive strength floating around Huang Ze's body is '101~120'. Although he is a martial artist in the Tongmai stage, he is considered to be the lowest strength among Tongmai...
Sure enough, what Bai Sanren said was right. Huang Ze had encountered an accident before and was seriously injured. His cultivation level plummeted and his temperament also changed a lot...
"Come, drink tea!"
After the two sat down, Jiu'er served two bowls of fragrant tea and several plates of snacks.
Han Yi Dingqing took a look and found among them the 'Phoenix Tail Cake' he bought from the pastry shop a few days ago.
"Han Yi, I also know some information about you. According to me, Elder Li in the Foreign Affairs Department has a much better future than my old drunkard..."
Huang Ze said self-deprecatingly, with a hint of confusion in his words.
It's no wonder he has such doubts. The rules of the Chiyan Sect's recruitment competition stipulate that new disciples who enter the sect can freely choose which elder and which hall to enter.
Although the choice space for new disciples is not large, generally speaking, it is mostly screened by the elders.
The Chiyan Sect Law Enforcement Hall is responsible for enforcing the law and supervising the behavior of the inner and outer disciples. Although the job of this hall looks impressive, it is like a chicken rib, which is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away. If you are not careful, you may get into trouble.
For example, when enforcing the law, you may encounter the children of the sect's senior leaders, or encounter a senior with a weird temper, and you don't even understand how he died...
The Internal Affairs Hall is responsible for various affairs in Anyan City. The city is generally stable and things are relatively leisurely. Of course, the task rewards are also relatively small, and it is not a good choice for new disciples.
Therefore, only the Foreign Affairs Hall is responsible for various affairs outside Anyan City, such as guarding ores, clearing monsters from the camp, hunting down thieves, etc.......
Although these tasks are a bit busy, the rewards are generous. Moreover, when performing tasks, you may also earn extra money. Therefore, the Foreign Affairs Hall is a good choice for disciples who need a lot of resources to break through.
The Foreign Affairs Hall is also the most populous and powerful hall in the Chiyan Sect!
