Chapter 307 The scholar is about to be beaten(1/2)
Lin San seemed to have no concern about the shouting of the maid outside the door. Maybe it was not the first time he did similar things in a brothel, and it was not that any brothel was afraid of him. Of course, there was a backstage for being able to open a brothel. However, Lin San had never had any problems in doing similar things in the past.
The reason is simple, that is, brothels are businessmen, and they can afford the price, so there will naturally be no big trouble. Even if you defame the innocence of a purity prostitute, you will pay one extra amount of money. To put it bluntly, isn’t it just the business of brothels?
Of course, Lin San is also smart. He will not touch some innocent people, because he can't afford some people's prices.
The Lin family is a big family in Hangzhou, has a business industry, and also has a Jinshi. However, after all, Lin San is a sanctuary. If he does not have much ability in such a family, his status in the family will not be as good as that of his eldest son.
But this Wanghu Tower is really different. Lin San hugged Ning Sanniang and could free up one foot to close the door.
But the door was not closed. A lame man pushed the door and walked in. He saw the scene in front of him without any action. Instead, he looked back at the person who walked in.
Then what came in was Master Zhong. When he saw Lin San holding Ning Sanniang, Ning Sanniang kept screaming.
Zhong Shidao frowned slightly, looked at Ning Sanniang's panicked expression, stood at the door and watched for a moment, but did not speak immediately.
But Lin San said first: "What are you doing when you come in? Is it possible to visit my good deeds? Just go and tell the shopkeeper that you will just offer the offer."
It was probably the first time that Zhong Shidao saw such a scene. A weak woman, like a frightened little rabbit in the forest, with panic in her eyes, ramming movements, and shouting in her mouth.
Such a woman's appearance must be able to inspire a man's desire for protection.
The lame man was waiting for the master's order. Hearing this, he stepped forward, grabbed Lin San's hand, and cursed: "Who is your damn master?"
Lin San was not afraid, unable to break free from his arms, and said, "Hey, can you still beat the encompasser in Wanghu Tower? Do you still want to do business?"
The lame Qin Wu really wanted to teach this benefactor a lesson, but he didn't dare to make decisions, so he turned around and looked at Master Zhong.
Zhong Shidao finally spoke: "When the hand touched the girl, he would chop off that hand."
After saying that, Master Zhong turned around and left.
Qin Wu asked again: "Master, it seems that both hands have been touched."
Mr. Zhong didn't answer much, and was already going down the stairs.
Qin Wu was stunned for a moment, let go of his hand, and pulled out the knife from his waist.
"What are you doing? You... dare, are there any more kings? Are you still doing business? My Lin family... the Lin family is not easy to bully." Lin San saw that he drew his sword and had already pushed the girl to the side, and he hid behind the round table.
Qin Wu could not beat the leader of the horse bandit, but it was easy to chop a young master's hand. Qin Wu jumped to the other side of the round table, pinched Lin San's neck with one hand, and prepared to wave the knife with the other. However, he saw Ning Sanniang next to him, put the knife away, carried Lin San and walked out, probably not wanting to make the room full of blood.
The panicked Ning Sanniang was not calm yet and sat blankly on the ground.
Qin Wu raised the man out of the door and headed to the backyard.
The maid at the door hurried in, helped Ning Sanniang up, and asked, "Miss, are you doing anything?"
Ning Sanniang came to her senses after hearing this, shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
After saying this, Ning Sanniang seemed to remember something, so she quickly got up and went downstairs. Zhong Shidao was still sitting in the main hall on the first floor. Ning Sanniang walked away a few steps and said, "Zeng... Master Zhong, I'm fine, just scare that person, but you must cut off his hand."
Ning Sanniang was obviously afraid that she would cause some trouble for Xu Jie. In such a girl's understanding, she was still afraid of the law and could not do illegal things.
Zhong Shidao looked at Ning Sanniang and said coldly: "Save his life as a gift."
After saying this, Zhong Shidao explained another sentence for some reason: "Such people are used to being bullying others. They should teach them a lesson. They will know how to restrain themselves in this life and save others from being bullied by him."
Ning Sanniang was scared and said, "It's a big trouble to hurt people. You don't have to cause such a big trouble to your slave."
When Zhong Shidao heard this, he nodded: "Well, killing and burying it, it's a lot easier."
Ning Sanniang became more and more scared when she heard this. She was about to say something again. A tragic wail came from the back of the courtyard, which scared Ning Sanniang so much that she was shaking all over, and it seemed that the courtyard was really chopping people's arms.
Zhong Shidao also waved his hand and said, "You go back, don't worry."
Ning Sanniang was stunned on the spot. The lame Qin Wu walked over from behind, and wiped the blood on his hands with a cloth towel. He stepped forward and bowed and said, "Master, cut off both hands and asked someone to throw them out."
Mr. Zhong nodded and didn't say anything.
Ning Sanniang's mind was already blank, and the maid behind her also came to her face and helped Ning Sanniang back to her room.
Tonight, Ning Sanniang won’t be a guest. She sat on the couch in a daze, as if she was much worried.
As the night became late, Zhong Shidao was still sitting in the main hall. Watching the guests slowly leaving, the girls from each room also returned to the house and prepared to wash and sleep.
The servant at the door is also preparing to close the door and no one stays tonight.
Zhang's mother, who came with Yan Siyu, was arranging big and big things everywhere. Manager Tian was making plans at the counter and calculating today's revenue.
Mr. Zhong also got up and prepared to go to rest.
At this time, Ning Sanniang suddenly walked downstairs, arrived in front of Master Dezhong, and said, "Mr. Zhong, I have invited some midnight snacks from the kitchen. I think Mr. Zhong is hungry, so I will eat some together."
Master Zhong said "I'm not hungry" to the point of mouth, and for some reason swallowed it back, nodded and said, "Well, eat a little."
After saying that, Master Zhong and Ning Sanniang went upstairs together, leaving Qin Wu stunned on the spot. He was probably a little surprised, surprised his master... It seemed something was wrong, but it seemed that nothing was wrong.
Ning Sanniang prepared a few dishes and a pot of wine in her house. It was already late at night. When the kitchen arrived, she would prepare these things for the people in the building to have a midnight snack.
The two sat opposite each other, and Ning Sanniang spoke first: "Thank you, Mr. Zhong, for helping you today."
Mr. Zhong replied: "This is your duty."
Ning Sanniang was somewhat disappointed when she heard this. She looked at Master Zhong up and down, and then said, "Young Master Zhong, the brothel protection is not a good job."
Ning Sanniang is kind-hearted, not having any other thoughts, but simply thinking that being a guard in a brothel is not promising.
Mr. Zhong nodded and said, "Well, I don't want to do this. It's really boring. Wen Yuan insists on doing it. He is idle and it doesn't matter for a few days. If you really don't want to do it anymore, then don't do it."
Ning Sanniang heard what Master Zhong said, and said again: "Well, in Hangzhou, it is better to do anything than to be a guard in a brothel."
Mr. Zhong might not be on the same channel as Ning Sanniang, so he asked seriously: "I have nothing else to do."
Ning Sanniang was a little anxious and said, "You can learn a craft. If you are a literate person, you can learn to study the accounting department. You may also be a shopkeeper in the future. If you are a illiterate person, you can learn to be a carpenter. Any house that builds a house and makes furniture will require a carpenter."
This is the first time that Mr. Zhong chatted with someone like this, and asked seriously: "Is it good to be a shopkeeper?"
"Okay, how can it be bad? Look at the shopkeeper Tian, the things that come and go in and out of the building are controlled by him. Mr. Xu trusts him, and even the money is given by ordinary shopkeepers. It is enough to buy a good house in two or three years. It is enough to raise a few sons to study and go to school. Some shopkeepers can also get dividends from their bosses. At the end of the year, there is a big investment, which is much better than ordinary families." Ning Sanniang suddenly talked about this topic with Master Zhong, but she became more and more excited. Perhaps in her simple understanding, being a shopkeeper is many times better than being a guard.
After hearing this, Master Zhong thought about it and replied, "If you say that, it's really good to be a shopkeeper."
Ning Sanniang asked: "Young Master Zhong can read?"
Zhong Shidao nodded: "Learn from literacy."
Ning Sanniang was a little happy for no reason: "It's good to read, and it's even more impossible to be a guardian if you know literacy. Otherwise, you'll beg Manager Tian and ask him to teach you."
Master Zhong heard the word "seeking", frowned slightly and asked, "How to ask?"
Ning Sanniang saw that Master Zhong didn't even understand such things, shook her head and said, "I also need some money to give me some gifts and become a disciple. In this way, Manager Tian is willing to teach you."
Zhong Shidao asked again: "How much does it cost?"
Ning Sanniang seemed to have understood something and said, "It's okay, I have some money, you can take it to Manager Tian first."
After saying that, Ning Sanniang turned her head, entered the small room, and came out after a moment. She stuffed a box into Master Zhong's hand, and said, "You will be the shopkeeper in the future, and I will give it back to me."
Zhong Shidao looked at the box in his hand, then looked at Ning Sanniang again, stunned for a moment, holding the box in his hand, but he did not return it.
Ning Sanniang didn't say much, pushed the vegetables on the table towards Zhongshidao, and poured wine to Zhongshidao, and Zhongshidao ate it without saying a word.
The next afternoon, Manager Tian counted left and right at the counter. Mr. Zhong really walked up to him and put the box that Ning Sanniang gave him last night on the table in front of Manager Tian, saying, "Boss Tian, teach me how to be a manager. I will give you this money."
Manager Tian was stunned for a moment and looked at Master Zhong. Manager Tian was no better than Miss Ning, who had just arrived and had not left the gate. Although he didn't know who Master Zhong was, and he didn't even know why Master Zhong sat motionless in the lobby, Manager Tian knew that Master Zhong had a close relationship with Xu Jie. Although he didn't see Master Zhong talk and Xu Jie more, he only heard the words of Xu Jie and Master Zhong, and he also knew that Master Zhong had an extraordinary identity.
So the shopkeeper Tian smiled and pushed the box to Master Zhong, saying, "Young Master Zhong, don't be so polite. If you are interested, just follow your side, and you will know everything in the bottom of your mind."
Mr. Zhong pushed the box back and said, "You just take it."
Mr. Zhong's words were a little cold. Manager Tian looked at Mr. Zhong's expression and wanted to speak but stopped.
Mr. Zhong followed Manager Tian without asking questions, but Mr. Tian took the initiative to say that, and even took out the account book and slowly passed it to Mr. Zhong.
In the afternoon, Ning Sanniang came down from the second floor and saw this scene. She was overjoyed and walked forward a few steps and said to Master Zhong: "Come here to have dinner later."
Perhaps this girl Ning, who had just arrived, thought that the food in the hospital would definitely not be as good as hers.
Zhong Shidao nodded, waited for Ning Sanniang to leave, and said to Qin Wu behind him, "You can eat it yourself later."
Qin Wu finally understood something, and was inexplicably worried, worried that his master would not really be a shopkeeper, right? What he passed on to him at that time was not a knife technique, but arithmetic?
Xu Jie, who was still sitting under the peach tree in the sword tomb of West Lake, obviously didn't know this yet, but Xu Jie was also learning the arts and learning the piano skills with the little tiger.
The little tiger is very handsome as a teacher. He stood aside and pointed at Xu Jie who was playing the piano from time to time, and said, "Well, a child can teach you!"
Such words are really wrong. Xu Jie is no longer a child. He can only shake his head and laugh, but he enjoys it.
Ouyang Wenqin was sitting not far away, holding a book in her hand, and looked back from time to time to look at Xu Jie who was practicing the piano. If the two of them looked at each other with their eyes, they would smile knowingly.
However, Xu Jie didn't know anything about it. On the banks of West Lake, a white-clothed swordsman stood on the shore, looking at the island of Jianzhong. He didn't know if she was looking at it clearly. However, after watching for a long time, the swordsman turned around, turned around and turned around three times, and finally disappeared without a trace.
A long time later, two more people came by the lakeside with swords and stood around the lakeside for a while. Then a small boat was rowing behind the boat, and the other stood at the bow.
Xu Xiaodao walked to the small pier of Jianzhong, watched the boat coming from afar, turned around and said, "Young Master, someone is here."
Xu Jie turned his head and looked at it, not taking it seriously, and his mind was still on the strings.
The ship was still far away, and suddenly the man on the bow jumped away and rushed towards him.
"Young Master, is the person coming here, Master He." Xu Xiaodao said another word.
Xu Jie stopped his hands at this time, got up and headed towards the small pier, ready to greet him.
But I immediately discovered something was wrong, because He Zhenqing in the air had a sharp feeling and his aura was exposed.
