Borrow the day to change the day

() Mr. Liang said aggrievedly: "Go to Wang Gong's factory and see for yourself. These people may survive if they are sold cheaply. If they are not sold, they will die!"

Zhong Jinwei turned his head to look at the three girls who were huddled in the corner, and they nodded with tears in their eyes.

Zhong Jinwei turned to Gu Baichuan and the others and said, "Let's go and have a look."

The three girls were all relatively delicate and beautiful, but they had undergone major changes, starving and freezing every day, wandering between life and death, or sold themselves, or were sold to this Mr. Liang.I hoped to be a slave and a handmaiden, so I could survive anyway, and after the time limit passed, I could choose a good family to marry.

In the end, he found that he was brought to the restaurant to be filthy and inhumane, and if he resisted a little, he would serve him with a whip.However, Zhong Jinwei and his party were recruited because of this, which can be regarded as a kind of luck.

One of them was smarter, named Li Simin, who knew that once Zhong Jinwei and the others left, those people would definitely take their anger out on them, and by then, it would be their time of death.So, he rushed out and fell down at Zhong Jinwei's feet: "My lord, help me!"

Seeing this, the other two also knelt down and begged for help.

It was the first time for Zhong Jinwei to be kneeled by someone, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he turned to look at Gu Baichuan.

Gu Baichuan looked at Zhong Jinwei's intentions, as if he wanted to save someone, since he had already been beaten anyway, so it didn't matter to save someone again.He went directly to that Young Master Liang and said, "My Young Master will accumulate Yin virtues for you, and hand over their deeds of prostitution."

A good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses, Mr. Liang pouted, the servant who was standing on the side with his face beaten took out three pieces of paper from his arms, approached Zhong Jinwei fearfully, and wanted to hand them to him.

Gu Baichuan walked over a few steps, stuck in the straight line that the servant was walking towards Zhong Jinwei, stretched out his hand to grab it first, and then looked at him.

I don't know if he was afraid of being beaten, or because of Dongchang's reputation, the servant retreated to the base of the wall in fear, and stopped when he had no choice but to retreat.

Seeing that there was no possibility of a surprise attack on him, Gu Baichuan turned to hand over a few contracts of prostitution to Zhong Jinwei.

Zhong Jinwei glanced at it a few times, just like reading English words in college, the traditional Chinese characters written vertically without punctuation gave him a headache.

He didn't look at it much, and handed it to the women: "Take your deed of prostitution, take it away, and live a good life in the future." Then he was about to leave.

"My lord, please take us in, we have nowhere to go." Li Simin begged.

I haven't thought about it. If you want to take him in, you have to see what your wife wants.Zhong Jinwei turned to look at Archie.

Although Archie left home and entered the palace at a young age, he had never seen such a miserable experience for them, and he felt very sympathetic.Seeing Zhong Jinwei looking at her, he knew it was for her to make up her mind.

Archie thought for a while and said, "My lord, the house should need maids to order, or take them in."

Zhong Jinwei heard what Archie said, thought it should be the same, and agreed.

Zhong Jinwei went out first, Archie followed, followed by An Guiyi, then the three poor people, Gu Baichuan followed closely, and finally Wang Peng. Seeing that everyone else had quit, he put away the knife , Glared at everyone present before exiting.

At first, some people wanted to know who the Dongchang hero was, but after being stared at like this, they swallowed it back.

As soon as they went out, the three girls shivered when they were blown by the cold wind.Zhong Jinwei frowned when he saw it, it was indeed cold enough for being so thin, don't get sick from the cold.But now that he has no clothes, he looks at Gu Baichuan to see if he has any ideas.Through this incident, Gu Baichuan gave him a very good impression.

Gu Baichuan cupped his hands and said: "Sir, don't bother me with anything. The younger one saw three fox fur coats hanging inside." Zhong Jinwei didn't have any psychological burden when he took the belongings of those people in the room, and nodded with a smile. nod.

Soon Gu Baichuan took it out and put it on for the three girls.Then, he smiled and said to Zhong Jinwei: "These dandies only bully the weak and fear the strong, and when the little ones go in, they don't even dare to fart." Several people laughed.

Zhong Jinwei thought for a while, then asked An Guiyi, "Where is Wang Gong's factory, are you on the way?"

An Guiyi replied: "Young master, Wang Gong's factory is located in the southwest corner of the capital, it's a bit far away, and it's not on the way."

The three girls were a little surprised when they heard this, no wonder An Guiyi hadn't made a sound before, it turned out to be a father-in-law.

"Then Mr. An please take them to see the house first. I don't have to go. Archie will just go. If there is anything that needs to be added, Archie will write it down and I will buy it later."

With so many outsiders present, Archie's face blushed a little, but his heart was sweet, and he said softly "um".

An Guiyi turned to the three girls and said, "This Miss Archie will be your mistress from now on, you have to listen to her, understand?"

Only now did Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng understand Archie's true identity.

No more words at the moment, after going downstairs, Zhong Jinwei made an appointment with An Guiyi to meet at Donghua Gate, and then watched An Guiyi drive away with the four girls.

When An Guiyi drove far away and was about to leave, he realized that the transportation problem still needed to be solved.

It seems that in this day and age, it is really inconvenient not to know how to ride a horse.

Fortunately, there happened to be an old horse with a gentle personality in this shop, which Gu Baichuan forcibly borrowed for Zhong Jinwei to ride.

Therefore, under the guidance of Gu Baichuan, Zhong Jinwei learned to ride now, and gradually mastered the essentials of horseback riding. As long as he is not running fast, his riding skills are passable, and a group of three headed towards Wang Gongchang.

There are not many pedestrians on the road, and the main road is wide, so it basically does not affect horse riding.

Since Zhong Jinwei was riding a horse for the first time, he was engrossed and didn't pay much attention to the surrounding scenery.

Now the capital has lifted the martial law, but occasionally there are guards from the Shuntian Mansion, but they didn't come over to control the three of them.Those who can ride a horse with a knife in the capital are all people of status.

When he was about to arrive at Wang Gong's factory, Zhong Jinwei was a little used to riding a horse, so he set aside some energy to observe the scenery along the road.

At this time, they had arrived near the slums of the capital.Although the streets are still relatively spacious, the sanitation situation is obviously not optimistic. I often see piles of household garbage on the street corners, of all kinds.Fortunately, it is winter now, and there are no mosquitoes, rats and ants, otherwise it would be really hard to say what would happen.

Seeing this, Zhong Jinwei also thought of the famous plague in the late Ming Dynasty, and some netizens even explained that the dynasty died of the plague.It seems that there are too many things that need to be changed.You have to pay attention to this matter, and find a suitable opportunity to tell Emperor Chongzhen about this matter.

Suddenly, a few guards in front led the mules and pulled over a few flatbed carts covered with straw mats, but the straw mats could not cover everything.When passing by Zhong Jinwei, Zhong Jinwei found that many people's feet were exposed under the straw mat.

He realized right away that it might be a dead refugee.Although he felt that he had guessed the truth, he still wanted to confirm it. He crossed the horse in front of the second car and stopped it.

He rode on the horse and asked the man leading the mule: "Excuse me, are all the refugees in the car dead?"

The mule-leader looked up at him and sighed, "Is there any need to ask that!"

"Can you lift the straw mat and have a look?"

"It's better not to read it. Death is the most important thing. At least give them a little dignity."

Don't let me see, is there any inside story?Zhong Jinwei said: "Could it be that you have done something shameful that you dare not let us see?"

The man silently sighed again, and shook his head: "Young Master, you can watch it if you want, it's a sin."

Gu Baichuan led the horse closer, bent down slightly, and lifted one of the straw mats covering the cart.

Zhong Jinwei was stunned for a moment, the corpses in the car were basically old and weak.What surprised him even more was that all the corpses were without underwear, just stacked in the car like that.

Immediately, Zhong Jinwei was furious. The clothes of these dead people had to be stripped, and those who could sell them for a few dollars would be angrily reprimanded.

The man saw Zhong Jinwei's reaction, and spoke first, with a sense of helplessness in his voice: "Young master, do you think we took off these people's clothes and distributed this dead money?"

"Isn't it?"

"I know that you are also a kind-hearted person. Let me tell you that it is noon at this time. The people in this car are all starved to death. There are not many people. If you come here early in the morning, you can see the dead body The number of cars is several times that of the current ones, and those people will all freeze to death, so as soon as someone dies at this time, the people next to them will take off their clothes and wear them, so as not to be frozen to death at night. It is not that we are doing You can understand what is immoral."

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he realized that he misunderstood them. In fact, the demeanor of the unscrupulous people that Zhong Jinwei misunderstood should be completely different from them. Anyone with a little vision should be able to see this.

Zhong Jinwei apologized, and then asked, "Are you guys going to take them outside the city to bury them?"

"It's freezing cold, and there are so many dead, it's impossible to bury them, so they have to be cremated."

Zhong Jinwei remained silent and stepped aside.

Cars pulled past him one by one, and he could still hear someone sighing: "These are hard-working people. They might have been talking and laughing at home a few days ago. This tartar is a disaster. This is the end in a blink of an eye, if the emperor had arrested that Yuan Chonghuan earlier, it would have been fine, what a fate!"
