When the beggar leader saw that Song Wangyue was still standing still after he finished, he became angry, “I told you to get lost, did you hear me?”
“What if I don’t roll?”
“Don’t roll ……”
The head beggar smoothly copied a wooden stick by the door and smashed it, “Don’t think that I can’t lay hands on you because you are a girl ……”
Before the words were finished, his eyes instantly went wide.
Only to see the smashed out wooden stick circling around Song Wangyue and smashing towards him.
The head beggar was so shocked that he forgot to react as the wooden stick smashed hard on his head.
“Ouch!”
He covered his face as blood flowed down his fingers.
“You, you, you ……”
The head beggar recoiled in horror as if he had seen a ghost, tripped over the threshold and fell backwards into it.
The woman inside the house heard the commotion and lifted the curtain to come out, seeing his face covered in blood, she screamed out in terror, “Ah ……”
“Shut up!”
The head beggar shuddered inside at her scream and chided.
The woman covered her mouth in panic and looked out in horror to see that it was just a young girl of eight or nine years old with eyes as big as copper bells.
“You, what do you want!”
The head beggar struggled to half get up, looking at Song Wangyue in fear, his body shaking slightly as he thought of the scene just now.
Song Wan Yue walked towards the house, the head beggar shrank back in fear, seeing Song Wan Yue enter the house and sit down on the chair, he busily stood up, not even bothering to wipe the blood on his face, instructed the woman, “Quickly, quickly go make tea!”
“No need.”
Song Wangyue lifted her chin, gesturing for him to sit down.
The head beggar sat down warily in the corner of the chair, his face white and trembling, “Song, Miss Song, please command.”
“I want to buy some men under you.”
The head beggar thought he had misheard, “Buy, buy people?”
“Right. ”
The head beggar gulped and felt blood blur his eyes, he raised his hand and wiped it casually, “I, the people under me are used to being lazy, he, they ……”
Song Wan Yue took out a pile of silver tickets and put them on the table, “I have inquired, buy a person seven or eight silver, I will give you ten taels, you gather all the people together, let me pick at will.”
The people under his command are all his money makers, and those who are agile can get him hundreds of taels of silver a year, so he can’t see a mere ten taels in his eyes.
But he did not dare to offend Song Wangyue, “Miss Song should know that I have no right to buy or sell them.”
Song Wangyue scanned the large courtyard, “I just came from the county magistrate, you said if I ……”
Before she finished her sentence, she was interrupted by the head beggar in a panic, “Miss Song, what kind do you want, I’ll take you there to pick!”
Song Wan Yue put the silver ticket back into her sleeve pocket, the head beggar got up and was about to take her over, when the woman pulled her sleeve and pointed at his face.
Only then did the head beggar remember that he was injured and said, “Wait a moment, Miss Song, I’ll clean up a bit before leading you there.”
After saying this, he went inside.
The woman was about to follow him in, but thought of the blood on his face and turned around and went out again, fetching a basin of water and entering the house.
After a while the head beggar came out, changed into a ragged clothes, the head was casually bandaged, respectfully led Song Wan Yue to the beggars resting place.
Now it is not yet meal time, most of the beggars are nestled on the straw discussing where to go begging later, see the head beggar come, have sat up.
“Go and call all the people outside back.”
The head beggar ordered one of the beggars near the door.
That beggar turned and darted out, but in a moment he called back the others, all of whom were not too old, around twelve or thirteen years old, and among them were the four who had stolen Qi Ying’s purse and were discovered by Song Wan Yue.
Seeing her, several of them looked unkind.
“Miss Song, the men are all here.”
Song Wangyue scanned all the beggars and stretched out her fingers, calling out the ones she had fallen in love with one by one.
The head beggar looked with blood dripping from his heart, these were the most capable of his men, if Song Wangyue got rid of them, his future days would not be so free.
“The four men were among Song Wangyue’s favourites, but they didn’t move when they heard Song Wangyue’s words. The Wei Yuan Bodyguard Bureau had fallen and this girl was still arrogant in their territory, but she didn’t know that the King of Horses had three eyes, right?
Together with them, a total of twelve people, the rest of them came out, only a few of them did not move, Song Wangyue looked over.
The four of them looked back provocatively.
Song Wangyue raised her eyebrows and carelessly crooked her finger towards a few people.
The four men’s blood energy was instantly triggered, and one of them lunged towards Song Wangyue first, “Stinky girl, you seek death!”
Seeing this, the remaining three also pounced over.
The head beggar was afraid of the ripple effect on himself and quickly took a few steps back. He did not reprimand the few people, as he did not want them to be bought off either.
Song Wangyue stood still, and when the first one pounced on her, she raised her foot and kicked him out, knocking over the other three with him.
There was silence in the courtyard.
The head beggar’s breath was tinged with fear, he thought he had just been terrified enough, but now it seemed that Song Wangyue had shown him mercy.
The ones who had been knocked to the ground were no slouches either. They leapt up and once again lunged at Song Wangyue at the same time.
Song Wangyue took a few steps back, dodging their attacks, grabbed the last one’s clothes and smashed the other one.
Bang! Boom! Thud!
Three thuds and several people all fell to the ground, the two below them in tears of pain.
The courtyard was dead silent.
The rest of the beggars did not dare to breathe.
Song Wangyue clapped her hands, “Are there any more who are not convinced?”
There was no sound from the ravens.
The head beggar even swallowed a few times.
“My family has built a new workshop and I need someone to guard it, the person I just ordered will come with me to the court later to do the deed of sale.”
A deed of sale?
The beggars could not believe their ears, although they were beggars, they were free, if they signed the deed of sale, they would be slaves.
They looked at the head beggar, “Lao, boss ……”
The head beggar’s gaze dodged.
The beggars understood, and fell into despair.
Especially the four on the ground, they had an enmity with Song Wangyue, and there would be absolutely no good consequences for them if they fell into Song Wangyue’s hands.
Twelve people, one hundred and twenty taels.
Song Wangyue took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and another of twenty taels and handed it to the head beggar.
The head beggar shook his hand and accepted it.
The one who was lying on the ground suddenly got up and ran out.
Song Wangyue kicked up a stone, which flew out and hit him in the leg socket, and poof, the man fell to the ground.
The rest of the men were shocked and looked at their companion who had not gotten up for a long time, forgetting to move.
The head beggar took a few steps back to make way for Song Wan Yue, who lifted her foot and walked out, “Follow me!”
The beggars reacted and did not dare to lag behind, scrambling to follow her, even the three who had just crawled on the ground also hurriedly got up and came over to help their companions to follow with fear and trepidation.
