Detective in the Red Chamber

Almost all of them were rags picked up by Hong Jiu and others, but she kept them so preciously.

But at this time, Hong Jiu didn't care about emotion, and reached out to find the golden shell from inside, and tremblingly touched it in front of him, widening his eyes to scan carefully.

Word, word, word...

Must have words!

As long as it is the legendary top-grade 'Tao Zhu Jin Bei', then I no longer have to worry about being bullied by the deaf boss, let alone leading the three children to live such a precarious life of hiding their heads and showing their tails!

At this moment, Hong Jiu's heart was extremely eager.

However, after searching over and over for a long time, I still haven't seen the golden pattern similar to the writing.

Sure enough, I thought too much...

Hong Jiu sighed dejectedly, and was about to put down the shell, when he suddenly found four big eyes that were dripping and circling, also staring at the shell and knocking hard - but it turned out that Er Zi and Heitou came back from fetching water.

"Ninth brother."

Heitou asked curiously, "What's so interesting about a broken shell? You look like you're about to get into it."

The second son also followed up and asked, "Could it be that this thing is not a valuable item?"

"This……"

Hong Jiu was very disappointed at first, but then he thought about it, isn't even a middle-grade gold shell worth a lot of silver, so why should he be disappointed?

So he laughed and showed off, "I really let you know that this shell is not simple. It is a 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' from the Western Regions. It is the most prosperous and rich. Only this one can be sold for [-] yuan Where's the silver!"

I heard someone questioning, "Is this thing really worth eight or six dollars?"

"How can there be a fake, I'll inquire carefully..."

Hong Jiuzheng was complacent, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, because the voice of doubt did not come from a few beggars around him, but came from outside, and the voice sounded very familiar, it seemed to be...

"Deaf... Deaf Boss?!"

At the same time as Hong Jiu screamed in shock, the deaf boss rushed in aggressively with five or six of his subordinates, snatched the shell, put it in his hand, looked at it, and said with a sneer, "Look!" For the sake of making me a small profit today, I will be merciful and just break off two of your fingers!"

If he showed mercy, he would break off two fingers. If he didn't have this shell, wouldn't he be beating him to death? !

Hong Jiu hurriedly said, "Boss deaf, you...what are you doing this for? Brother, I haven't offended you these few days!"

"for what?"

The deaf boss grinned grimly, moved his face in front of Hong Jiu, and gritted his teeth, "Look for yourself, mother, open your dog's eyes for me to see!"

In fact, there was no need to look closely, Hong Jiu had already noticed something strange, the deaf boss's face was abnormally red and swollen, as if there were several palm marks printed on it.

Who is so bold as to dare to slap this one ear? !

Hong Jiu was wondering in his heart, but unexpectedly, the deaf boss pushed his shoulders against the wall, pinched his neck and sneered, "You bastard, how dare you lure the servant from Shuntian Mansion to my house? I have suffered a lot, tell me, can my special mother repay this great kindness?!"

Pain too!

The officials of Shuntian Mansion just asked for inquiries, why did they beat the deaf boss?Isn't this rushing to bring trouble on yourself? !

Chapter 411

However, Hong Jiu was complaining secretly, but the deaf boss got impatient and continued to talk to him, and ordered in a rough voice, "Come here, two people, and hold this grandson down for me."

As soon as he gave the order, two of his subordinates stepped forward and pushed Hong Jiu firmly against the wall.

"Ninth Brother!"

"Let go of Brother Jiu!"

The second son and Heitou yelled in panic, and wanted to rush forward to stop them, but they were already forced by the other people with sticks, and they couldn't get close at all.

At this time, I saw the deaf boss take out an iron hammer from his arms, and said with a smirk, "Master Deaf, I slapped you three times. I was going to break your three fingers, but for the sake of the shells, I will spare you." One is ready!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Hong Jiu's left hand and pressed it against the wall.

How could Hong Jiu submit obediently?

He clenched his fist desperately, refusing to stretch his fingers.

Seeing this, the deaf boss rubbed the hammer on Hong Jiu's face, and said with a sinister smile, "Since you are clenching your fist, I can only smash it from the bottom - when the time comes, you will hurt your palm. Don't blame Deaf Lord for my injustice!"

As he said, he compared the joints where the fingers and palms meet with the hammer again, and when he swung it, he was about to break bones and tendons with one hammer!

"Wait, wait first!"

At this moment, Hong Jiu suddenly roared.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The deaf boss suddenly burst out laughing, gave him a scornful look, and said with a smirk, "What's the matter? I want to give in to the deaf master—it's too late!"

While speaking, the iron hammer swung round to greet him!

Unexpectedly, Hong Jiu yelled again, "I'm going to see the official!"

bang~

There was a muffled sound, and the hammer hit firmly, but at the last moment, it deviated slightly from the direction, and the hammer hit the wall, and the dust was flying, and a big piece of wall fell off!

"What did you just say?"

The deaf boss put his face on Hong Jiu's forehead, and said fiercely, "You bastard, have you lost your mind? All the officials are busy with their affairs, so can I have time to see you, a scumbag like you? Besides, even if you meet the official, you would be concerned about what kind of conflict happened between beggars?"

Although this one ear said it was extremely disdainful, he didn't dare to swing it up with a hammer. Obviously, after suffering from the yamen servant, he also became a little more afraid of the government.

"The deaf boss misunderstood!"

Hong Jiu endured the disgusting taste in his mouth, forced a smile and said, "It's not that I'm going to see the official, it's that the life lawsuit hasn't finished yet, and the official asked me to go there again in the evening—although the official I might not care about us beggars, but brother, if I pass bloody, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it."

Hearing this, the deaf boss looked at him half-believingly, and finally took half a step back.

But just when Hong Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, he sneered again and said, "Hong Jiu, don't think you can scare me with the official! My mother warns you, if you dare to talk nonsense in front of the official, you will be tired." No matter how hard I suffer, Lord Deaf, I will repay you twice as much!"

As he said that, he turned around and took a look at Erzi and Heitou, then suddenly pointed at Niu'er, and said, "I'll take this little girl's film back to be a security guard, if you dare to change your mind, I will take her first! "

Hong Jiu's heart suddenly rose in his throat. This deaf boss is also famous for being greedy and lustful. If Niu'er is brought home, there is no guarantee that she will not show her true colors. By then...

So he said anxiously, "Boss deaf, I'm afraid this will not work!"

"No?"

The deaf boss opened his mouth wide in feigned surprise, then slapped Hong Jiu's face hard, pinched Hong Jiu's cheek, and snorted, "You bastard, when is it your turn to decide here?!"

Hong Jiu was beaten with stares in his eyes, but he still shouted loudly, "I don't mean that, I mean she just came to Tiankui, it's really bad luck, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to visit your house!"

Hearing this, the deaf boss glanced at Niu'er's crotch, and seeing that it was really bright red, he couldn't help cursing a few times for bad luck, so his eyes fell on Erzi and Heitou again.

But before he could appoint a candidate, Heitou stood up without hesitation, patted his chest and said, "I'll go back with you!"

The second son was a step slower, but also hurriedly said, "No! Let me go!"

"Yo~"

Seeing that the two were fighting for each other, the deaf boss exaggeratedly yelled, and praised in a tuneful way, "These two little bastards are quite brotherly."

Then he waved his hand and said unquestionably, "Since we all want to go, let's go together!"

As he said that, he left three of his men to keep an eye on Hong Jiu, so that Hong Jiu would not run away without showing any loyalty. Then he escorted the two little beggars and left the Town God's Temple arrogantly.

"Deaf boss, deaf boss..."

Hong Jiu chased after two steps, but was surrounded by those three evil beggars, and could only watch them drift away.

"Everyone is gone, what are you looking at?! Go, go, stay inside!"

But when the deaf boss left, the three evil beggars seemed to have their spine removed, and drove Hong Jiu to a corner, where they sat limply in front of the door.

One of them even took off his straw sandals, picked up a white cloth placed in a wooden tub, and rubbed his two old feet full of greasy mud.

Seeing that the white cloth he had managed to find was so ruined, Hong Jiu was so angry that he rushed to his throat, and was just about to ignore it, arguing with these evil beggars, but suddenly there was a The limp body leaned against his back.

"Nine... Brother Nine."

Seeing the concern on Niuer's face when she turned her head, Hong Jiu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head—if she clashed with these three vicious beggars in the temple, wouldn't she be a nuisance to Niuer for nothing?

That's all~

Let's lead them outside first and then talk about it!

Having made up his mind, Hong Jiu immediately whispered a few words in Niu'er's ear, telling her to hide in other places after he left, and to meet him in the temple when he came back with his second son and Heitou.

Then Hong Jiu suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Get up, follow me to the official!"

The three evil beggars were taken aback when they heard the words, and one of them said in surprise, "Didn't you say that in the evening..."

"It looks like you're a no-brainer."

Hong Jiu gave him a disdainful look, and said, "Since the lord is calling, why don't we rush over early and wait?"

Although the beggar was dissatisfied with his tone, he also felt that his words were reasonable.

So the three of them surrounded Hong Jiu, and under Niu'er's worried eyes, they left the city god's ruined temple.

Speechless all the way.

But when it came to outside the gate of Shuntian Mansion, Hong Jiu's body was covered with a layer of stinky sweat, half of which was due to the unbearable heat, and the other half was purely due to panic.

He said that he wanted to come to see the official, but he was in a hurry to deal with the deaf boss, who would have thought that the deaf boss would send someone to monitor him closely—this is to drive the ducks to the shelves, but what can he do?

Seeing that two servants were standing in front of the horoscope gate, Hong Jiu's calf was twisted, and he was more than twenty steps away, so he did not dare to move forward.

"how?"

Seeing this, the three evil beggars couldn't help becoming suspicious, and said with a sneer, "Didn't you say you're going to see an official? Go over and report your name!"

But why is Hong Jiu willing to move?

He just said stubbornly, "There is still a little time before evening, so it's better to wait here for a while."

However, since the three evil beggars became suspicious, how could they believe his pretext?

First he made a fuss, then he simply pushed and shoved him, trying to force him to make fun of himself.

"What are you doing?!"

Hong Jiu was struggling desperately, when he suddenly heard an angry shout, and when he looked up, he saw a yamen servant rushing over with strides, both hands resting on the waist knife, as if he was ready to come out and hurt someone at any time!

The three evil beggars immediately fled in fright. It's not that Hong Jiu didn't want to run away, it's just that his old wound on his leg hadn't healed, and it was really too late for him to escape.

So I had no choice but to squeeze out a smiling face, and said servilely, "Don't misunderstand me, the villain is just..."

Unexpectedly, before he could explain clearly, the yamen servant blurted out and asked, "You beggar, is your surname Hong Mingjiu?"

Hong Jiu was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "How does the poor man know the villain's name?"

"Come with me."

The yamen servant didn't want to explain to him, he moved his hand unquestionably, and walked towards the gate of the government yamen.

Hong Jiu was very apprehensive, but he didn't dare to disobey the orders of the officials, so he timidly followed behind.

And the yamen servant couldn't stay in front of the government yamen, so he led Hong Jiu inside, went around to find a small side room, and shouted loudly, "Boss Zhao, that beggar named Hong Jiu really came to him!" Coming to the door."

There was no movement from inside, until the yamen servant shouted a few more times before he heard a grunt, and then the door was pushed open from the inside, and a man with a horse face and bare arms came out from the inside, looking sleepily at him. Hong Jiu took a few glances, then suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, boy, you are really brave, it's not in vain for our Elder Master to give you some advice!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and patted Hong Jiu's shoulder twice.

With just these two strokes, most of Hong Jiu's bones were shattered—it's not that the horse-faced man used such insidious tricks as bone melting palms, but that Hong Jiu had already recognized his identity!

Zhao Wuwei, chief arrestee of Shuntian Mansion!

Although in Sun Shaozong's eyes, Zhao Wuwei is just a lackey, and he is still relatively inconspicuous around him.

But in the hearts of beggars like Hong Jiu, Zhao Wuwei, who is in charge of thousands of guards in the capital, including the white servants of the county government, is undoubtedly an extravagant figure!

Being patted on the shoulder and praised by such a big man, Hong Jiu had only experienced it in dreams before, but now meeting him in reality, how can he not let him go limp all over?

Zhao Wuwei was also very sharp, he waved away the gatekeeper, and immediately told Hong Jiu, "Wait until I put on my clothes, and then we will go to see the elder."

Saying that, he went back to the ear room on his own.

"Please... please see the Elder Master?"

Hong Jiu swallowed outside the door, and asked tremblingly, "Could it be...Could it be Sun Zhizhong, Master Sun?!"

Although I have met Mr. Qingtian in the court before, but it was a trial case - how can I take it on my humble status to go to see Mr. Sun in private? !

"Of course it's our Grand Master Sun."
