At this time, a thin man ran over from outside.
The man was about fifteen or sixteen years old and was wearing white washed clothes.
When he saw the old bustard at the door, he immediately took out a bag of silver from his arms.
"This is the money and interest that Father Su owes you. It's thirty taels in total, which is not a penny. You should let Su Hong go immediately."
The old bustard glanced into the courtyard and did not dare to speak.
The man thought she couldn't make the decision, so he walked directly to the yard.
When the little boy who was originally very strong saw him, his eyes instantly turned red and he shouted in a tearful tone: "Brother Zichen, you're finally here."
The man touched the child's head and smiled, "I'm going to collect some money. Without money, I can't save your sister even if I come here."
When the little boy heard that he had collected some money, he asked hurriedly: "Brother Zichen, where did you get the money? Did you borrow the Beijing debt?"
Zhuang Zichen's man shook his head and did not say how he raised the money.
He put the bag of silver on the stone table and said to Old Turtle: "This is thirty silver. I brought it over. You let Su Hong go."
Unexpectedly, the little boy immediately picked up the money and said, "Brother Zichen, I can't give him this money.
This old turtle doesn't mean what he says. Yesterday he said it was thirty taels, and just now he said it had risen to one hundred taels. "
After hearing this, Zhuang Zichen turned pale and asked in disbelief:
"Didn't Father Su only borrow two taels of silver? It's only been three days, how come it has increased so much?"
The child cursed angrily: "The old turtle head and the old bustard have very dark hearts. They deliberately held my sister captive."
Zhuang Zichen looked at the old turtle head angrily, "Yesterday you said you would let Su Hong go if I collected thirty taels of silver, and now you want another hundred taels. Are you going back on your word and raising the price like this? Isn't it lawless?"
The old turtle made a disdainful sound in his heart, but when he saw the sword in Ye Yutong's hand, he didn't dare to answer.
I plan to release the person first and then find an opportunity to bring him back later.
He said to one of the thugs: "Go and take the people out quickly."
When the little boy heard that he was going to let his sister go, a smile appeared on his face.
He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Yutong.
Before Ye Yutong could react, he had already banged his head three times.
"Thank you, hero, for saving my sister. You will be our family's benefactor from now on, and I, Su Haoran, will definitely repay you."
Ye Yutong helped him up and said gently: "Don't take it to heart. Since this happened to me today, it can be regarded as fate."
Zhuang Zichen asked in confusion: "Haoran, what's going on?"
Su Haoran told Ye Yutong about saving him and his sister.
After Zhuang Zichen heard this, he cupped his hands towards Ye Yutong and said, "Thank you for your help, hero."
Ye Yutong smiled and waved his hand, and yelled at the old turtle head: "Bring the person out quickly, or else..." As he said that, he pressed the sword against his neck again.
"Yes, hero." The old turtle wiped the cold sweat on his forehead in fear. He was just about to let someone go and have a look. Why haven't you brought him yet?
When he saw two thugs coming with Su Hong, he breathed a sigh of relief and quietly moved his neck back, farther away from the sword.
Ye Yutong slapped him with his sword and sat him down on the stone bench, "Be honest with me."
Su Haoran ran over and shouted: "Sister, sister, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Su Hong patted his shoulder comfortingly. Then he looked at the anxious Zhuang Zichen and said, "Zichen, I'm fine."
Su Haoran wiped his tears, pointed at Ye Yutong and said, "Sister, if it weren't for this hero, Brother Zichen and I wouldn't be able to save you even with money."
Su Hong didn't know what happened yet, but since someone else saved her, he was her benefactor.
Su Hong knelt in front of Ye Yutong and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving my life, hero."
Seeing that she was about to kowtow again, Ye Yutong quickly held her back with his sword, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Do you have the deed of betrayal in his hand?"
Zhuang Zichen said hurriedly: "There is a deed of sale, and it was Su Hong who was sold as pledge by Father Su himself."
Ye Yutong nodded and said to the old turtle head: "Why don't you get it quickly? Do you want me to search it myself?"
The old turtle head glared at the old bustard standing at the door, "What are you doing there? Why don't you quickly take out Miss Su's deed?"
The old madam glanced at Zhou Zhuangqiu and saw that he didn't stop him, then quickly ran into the house.
After a while, he took out a piece of paper, glared at Su Hong and his sister, and then handed the deed to Ye Yutong.
Ye Yutong took a look at it and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so he gave it to Su Hong.
When they came out of the brothel, Su Haoran raised his hand to her, "I wonder what your benefactor's name is and where he lives? My sister and I can visit you in the future."
Su Hong and the man also looked at her gratefully.
Seeing their sincerity, Ye Yutong decided to be the good guys to the end.
This time it was probably the people from the brothel who took a fancy to Su Hong's appearance and set a trap for them to jump into.
After she leaves, I'm afraid she will still deal with this family.
She smiled and said to the three of them: "My family lives in Dongyang County, and this time I came to Qingzhou City to visit relatives.
Why was Miss Su sold to that place? Is it convenient for you to talk to me?
I don't think those people will give up. If there is anyone who needs my help, there is no need to be polite. "
The three of them knew in their hearts that although the hero saved Su Hong this time.
But if they stay in Qingzhou City for another day, the old turtle head of the brothel will not let them go.
But they were penniless, where could they escape?
Su Hong smiled bitterly, "Benefactor, everyone on this street knows about my family's affairs, so there is nothing inconvenient to say.
It's not far from my home. If my benefactors don't mind, you can go and have a cup of tea at home. "
Su Haoran also warmly invited them, "My heroes, go sit at home and I'll get you some mountain spring water."
Zhuang Zichen also smiled and said: "I'm going to buy some food and leave my benefactor to have a meal at home."
Su Haoran then remembered that Brother Zichen hadn't said where the thirty taels of silver came from?
Seeing that he was going to buy groceries, he immediately grabbed him and said, "Brother Zichen, tell the truth, are you borrowing Beijing debt?"
When Su Hong heard what he said about Beijing's debt, she was shocked, "Zhuang Zichen, are we able to touch that Beijing's debt? You dare to borrow that kind of money, are you risking your life?"
Zhuang Zichen smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, you two, I didn't borrow any debt from Beijing."
Su Hong continued to ask, "Where did you get those thirty taels of silver?"
"My mother asked me to sell my yard." Zhuang Zichen hesitated for a moment, then told the truth.
Anyway, this matter can't be hidden. Even if he doesn't tell it now, when they go back, the neighbors will definitely tell them.
The two families live on the same street, and their homes have similar conditions.
There was a gambling father in their family, who went out to eat, drink, whore and gamble every day, and he ruined everything in the house.
The house was sold a few years ago, and now the family rents a shack.
The monthly rent and livelihood depend on the siblings doing laundry and working everywhere.
Zhuang Zichen's family is a little better, and he has been living with his blind mother since he was a child.
There is a small yard at home, which was left by his father.
Although the house was small and dilapidated, it had a place to stay.
Zhuang Zichen and Su Hong grew up together and have a very good relationship.
This time he found out that she was sold to a brothel by Father Su, so he tried to find ways to borrow money.
I borrowed money from all the brothers and neighbors on the street, but I only got a little over four taels of silver.
Their street is not rich. After these years of famine, which family still has money left?
Finally, his blind mother found out and asked him to sell the yard at home.
