super concubine

Chapter 497 Redemption
The reason why Zeng Qiu had such an idea was related to the labor in the saltworks.

After the reorganization of the salt farm, it was under the control of the imperial court, and it was still very humane.But since the private salt came out, many private salt farms have also begun to prosper.

Many of these saltworks were established illegally. They were established by a group of unscrupulous businessmen colluding with the government, and then a large number of unidentified workers were recruited through unknown channels. Some of these workers were caught and sold by human traffickers. Some of the prisoners who came to the saltworks were prisoners from the original cells. They were good and bad, and they suffered a lot in the saltworks every day, working day and night!

Many people died in the saltworks because they couldn't bear it. This is a common thing, and hard-working workers can be freed if they have not died after reaching a certain age. This can be regarded as giving those workers some hope!
However, in the salt field, especially in the salt field of private salt, how many people can come out alive in the end?
Even if he walked out of the saltworks alive, that person must have been tortured to death. That's why Zeng Qiu wanted to throw Liang Zheng into the saltworks to work as a coolie to threaten Xiao Mo and the women he coveted to submit obediently!

Liang Zheng walked out of the lake garden all the way, and of course he noticed that someone was following him. Although Liang Zheng intended to be caught by Zeng Qi's men, he had to put on a show of fear symbolically, and then... Liang Zheng Start running.

After this run, Zeng Qiu's subordinates behind him began to scold their mothers.

"Damn it, brat, you're still running!"

Shouting and cursing all the way, the four of them chased Liang Zheng on the path outside the lake garden. After chasing for a long way, Liang Zheng came to the side of the West Lake.

"thump……"

"You son of a bitch, diving into the water!"

"What are you doing in a daze? Go after him!"

Zeng Yu's subordinates were also about to jump down, but they saw a burst of water splashing on the lake, and then Liang Zheng's intermittent voice came: "Help...the water...is so deep..."

"Uh..." Zeng Qiu's subordinates glanced at each other, and after being surprised, they began to laugh.

"It turned out to be a landlubber!"

"Tsk tsk..."

"Go, find a bamboo pole..."

Since the other party was a landlubber, there was no need to wait for someone to go into the water. Zeng Qiu's men found a bamboo pole and looked at the lake.

I saw water splashing all over the lake, obviously Liang Zheng had been struggling hard to keep himself from sinking.

"Hey!" The four people on the bank looked at each other, they laughed badly, and slowly stretched the bamboo pole down, and Liang Zheng caught it in one fell swoop.

Liang Zheng took a deep breath, a sly look appeared on his face, and then shouted: "Pull me up!"

"Okay, we're pulling, hurry up!"

Hearing the response from the shore, Liang Zheng grabbed the bamboo pole tightly. He can actually swim, and the scene just now was just a pretense for Zeng Qi's subordinates to see.Originally thinking that the other party would really pull him up, Liang Zheng was also ready, holding on to the bamboo pole tightly, but it might as well be that the person on the shore pulled the bamboo pole up a little, and then shouted: "It's too heavy, Why is this bastard so heavy?"

Liang Zheng's face changed when he heard the words, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, the bamboo pole suddenly sank down vigorously. Because he was holding on to the bamboo pole tightly, Liang Zheng, who was caught off guard by the bamboo pole, sank directly into the water, and then choked several mouthfuls of river water!

"Ha ha……"

The people on the shore laughed loudly, it was obvious that this was a prank they had planned long ago, to set the beam on.

Liang Zheng was so soaked that he didn't even know how he was brought ashore...

The night of West Lake is very beautiful and peaceful.

Different from the beautiful and peaceful night of West Lake, in the lake garden, the poetry meeting is also coming to an end.

The end of a poetry meeting is often accompanied by a climax.

This time, there were no amazing poems and masterpieces in this poetry meeting. Generally speaking, it was relatively ordinary, but there was one thing that everyone didn't expect.

That was Su Qing'er, the head of Huyuan's line, who was finally spotted by Zeng Qiu, the son of the master of Futai. Zeng Qiu expressed his willingness to redeem Su Qing'er and give Su Qing'er a freedom, but because Zeng Qiu has not yet Married, so temporarily unable to take concubines.

For this result, Su Qing'er is naturally full of joy, this romantic woman, she still doesn't know what kind of person Zeng Qiu is, or... Zeng Qiu is a devil at all!
After Zeng Qiu announced that he would redeem Su Qing'er's life, he found the head of the Qian family, Mrs. Qian Qianzhi, and Qian Qianzhi said that he didn't care about business matters.

So Zeng Qiu found Qian Bixiu, and Qian Bixiu said that Qian Jiwen was in charge of Huyuan.

In the end, Zeng Qiu had no choice but to come to the second seat to look for Qian Jiwen.

Originally, as Zeng Qiu, he wanted to buy Su Qing'er, which was a rare opportunity for the Qian family to curry favor with the Zeng family, but everyone didn't understand why the Qian family acted like a businessman, and let Zeng Qiu went to find the principals of the three generations of the Qian family one by one!
Is the Qian family looking for death?Who doesn't know the power of the Zeng family in Hangzhou, and how arrogant and domineering Zeng Qiu is?Zeng Qiu fell in love with Su Qing'er, logically speaking, you should send him to Zeng Qiu as soon as possible, so what else is there to talk about?

Is your Qian family still planning to ask Zeng Qiu for money?

People began to speculate, and Xiao Mo whispered something in Qian Jiwen's ear when everyone was not paying attention.

Qian Ji glanced at Xiao Mo in surprise when he heard the words, and he immediately understood what Xiao Mo meant.

What Xiao Mo told Qian Jiwen was to ask Qian Jiwen to ask Zeng Qiu for 1 taels. To be honest, for a singing girl like Su Qinger, the number of 1 taels is really too much!
So Qian Jiwen immediately realized that Xiao Mo wanted to beat Zeng Qiu.

Why did Xiao Mo want to knock Zeng Qiu for money?Qian Jiwen understood that it must be Zeng Qiu who offended Xiao Mo...

Offend Xiao Mo?Qian Jiwen sneered in his heart, compared with Xiao Mo, it was obvious that Zeng Yu was nothing in Qian Jiwen's heart, so even though Qian Jiwen was embarrassed, he still stood up and clinked glasses with Zeng Yu After hearing Zeng Qiu's words that he wanted to redeem Su Qing'er, Qian Jiwen smiled and said in a flat tone, "Okay, it's everyone's honor that Mr. Zeng likes Master Su! As for the money for the ransom, Well... of course I want it!"

Hearing Qian Jiwen's faint words, Zeng Qiu was a little annoyed, but on the surface he looked at the other party calmly, waiting for Qian Jiwen's next words.

Qian Jiwen hadn't finished speaking when he heard another voice from the second seat say softly, "I'll pay you 8000 taels!"
