I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

Mu Jinghua was stuffed with a box of money and subconsciously looked at Xiao Ran.

He had never heard of what kind of official a county magistrate was, but seeing that Qi Huairen and the guards did not dare to interrupt Xu Shu and Xiao Ran, it was not difficult to guess that he must be a very powerful person.

Although Xiao Ran had always been respectful to Xu Shu, Mu Jinghua was still worried that if he offended this adult, something might happen to Xu Shu.

Moreover, Xu Shu only said two sentences, but he charged so much money. Isn't it inappropriate and not good?

Xu Shu didn't think it was a bad thing. This was just revenge for Xiao Ran's plot, and he even answered two extra questions as a gift. He was really conscientious.

But he still felt inexplicably unhappy when he found that Mu Jinghua was looking at Xiao Ran. He picked up a chicken leg for Mu Jinghua and told him, "Look at what he is doing, and eat."

Mu Jinghua stopped looking and looked at the big chicken drumstick in his bowl in distress. He couldn't eat any more...

Xiao Ran also realized that he was being cheated. The brocade box contained everything that Ah Xi had brought him, including three thousand taels of silver notes, thirty acres of fertile land, three shops, and two houses. Xu Shu had cheated him out of everything with just two sentences. How could he talk about it later?

But after all, he was the one who schemed against others first. If Xu Shu accepted these things, he would be able to calm down, so it wouldn't be a loss.

But after he returns, Master Jiao will probably say that he has no business acumen.

Xiao Ran was feeling a little melancholy, and couldn't pretend any longer. He looked at Mu Jinghua desperately, "Xiao Mujin, can you help me persuade Brother Xu? He even gave you the money to keep, so he will definitely listen to you."

Mu Jinghua was stunned when he heard this and looked at Xu Shu embarrassedly.

Xu Shu glared at Xiao Ran, his voice becoming much rougher: "Who are you calling Little Mu Jin? Is that you who's calling her Little Mu Jin?"

Xiao Ran felt like crying but had no tears in his eyes. Did he say the wrong thing again?

However, Xu Shu did not intend to argue with Xiao Ran too much, but took the initiative to soften his attitude and gave him a way out: "You want the crossbow cart, it's not impossible. There is only one condition, let Yichun Tower fend for itself."

"Let them fend for themselves? Brother Xu, you... are really hostile to Yichun Tower." Xiao Ran said helplessly, "But there are innocent people inside, too. Not all of them..."

"I said let them fend for themselves, just asking you not to interfere." Xu Shu glanced at Xiao Ran, "Let me guess, if the madam told you that the building is short of money and may not be able to afford the medical expenses, would you pay out of your own pocket to relieve the people's worries?"

"This... This is naturally my responsibility..." Xiao Ran was a little confused by Xu Shu's attitude.

"It's my job?" Xu Shu laughed at him. "Your husband really won't blame you. But it's also true that Lord Xiao is a wealthy man and doesn't care about this little money. It's understandable that he's been taken advantage of a few times."

These words were really sarcastic, and even Xiao Ran felt a little embarrassed: "Brother Xu, why do you have to be like this..."

Xu Shu was too lazy to pay attention to him. He had no idea about the money matter. It would be better to talk to his wife. Xu Shu got up and left. Xiao Ran called him three times but he didn't turn back.

Seeing Xu Shu return to the house, Xiao Ran could only ask Mu Jinghua for help in frustration, but found that Mu Jinghua was looking at him.

Xiao Ran hurriedly said: "Brother Mu, you have to help me persuade Xu Shu. I don't understand where I said the wrong thing."

Mu Jinghua understood very well that Xu Shu was angry simply because Xiao Ran would pay.

Mu Jinghua had stayed there for a while and was quite familiar with some things going on in the building.

The patrons of Yichun Tower would only give their money to the madam, and the girls and guys who entertained the guests would only receive one or two months' salary each month, plus some tips from the patrons.

The money was not much to begin with, but if a prostitute wanted to receive customers, she had to work hard on herself. Jewelry and clothes were mostly expensive, and unless she was the top prostitute, she basically had no money.

Xiao Ran now felt sorry for those people, so he paid the money and cured their illnesses. It seemed like he had saved people, but the truth was that the madam was reaping the benefits and would continue to suck their blood in the future.

Xiao Ran had clearly stayed in Yichun Building for some time and had come into contact with quite a few patients, but he could not see the hardships faced by these people who were struggling at the bottom of society.

Even if you have good intentions, you will only be exploited by people like the madam.

Mu Jinghua could fully understand why Xu Shu was angry, but he couldn't understand why Xu Shu, who was also a young man like Xiao Ran, could be so observant and always so tolerant and kind to people like them.

But it was precisely because Xu Shu was such a person that I had the opportunity to stay with him...

Mu Jinghua came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Ran. He stood up, took out a pen and paper, and wrote: "I can help you, but you have to do me one thing too."

Seeing him holding the paper, Xiao Ran was already very shocked.

He learned from Wu Yong that Mu Jinghua was not Xu Shu's biological brother, but was adopted as his brother out of pity for him.

But this guy can actually write... This made Xiao Ran look at him with new eyes. Xu Shu is really something. Are the guys he rescued so extraordinary?

Mu Jinghua, however, understood Xiao Ran's shock and took the initiative to explain: "Xu Shu taught me how to write."

Xiao Ran smiled knowingly: "Brother Xu always surprises people."

Mu Jinghua agreed with this deeply, and his attitude towards Xiao Ran also softened a bit. He felt that the county magistrate was not so arrogant and would think well of Xu Shu like he did.

He continued writing on the paper: "Let those two big men be my slaves, and I will help you."

"This is easy. These two men were originally for you to deal with." Xiao Ran glanced at the guards behind him, and the guards kicked the two big men down and pulled the cloth out of their mouths.

The two men didn't know what Mu Jinghua and Xiao Ran talked about, but after seeing Xu Shu and Xiao Ran talking, they understood that they had hit a tough guy.

Originally, the two of them had heard that the county magistrate had come to Yichun Tower to investigate the people's sentiments, so they went there specifically to file a complaint against Xu Shu. However, as soon as the county magistrate heard Xu Shu's name, he asked them if they were from Shiqiao Village.

When he heard that it was indeed Shiqiao Village, he directly ordered the arrest of the two of them. Without even listening to anyone, he threw them into jail and beat them.

At this point they already understood that they had offended someone, but it was not until just now that they truly realized what kind of person they had offended.

This is the person even the county magistrate wants to please.

They even directly ordered Yichunlou to fend for itself...

Originally, both of them expected that they would die, but they did not expect that there would be a sudden turn of events. The seemingly weak young man and the county magistrate started whispering to each other.

However, they had learned how to bend and stretch themselves through daily experience, so as soon as they were released, they knelt on the ground and begged Mu Jinghua for mercy.

Mu Jinghua was a little surprised at first, but when he saw these two people crying with tears and snot, their eyes full of fear, they looked at him and begged him.

The fear of that day reappeared before him again.

But this time, their identities were swapped, and he was no longer Mu Jinghua who was at the mercy of others.

"I want them to become eunuchs, but keep their lives."

"Let me do whatever I want."

The author has something to say~

I have received a lot of gifts from my dears recently. I would like to express my gratitude to them all here!

Then I thought, if I receive 15 gifts every day, I will add 2000 more chapters;

If you receive 35 gifts every day, you will get 4000 more.

If you receive 70 gifts every day, you will get 6000 more.

If the gifts received on the same day are greater than 20 yuan, an additional 2000 yuan will be added;

If it is more than 50 yuan, another 4000 yuan will be added the next day;

If it is more than 100 yuan, another 8000 yuan will be added the next day;

For example, if 20 gifts are received on the same day and the total value of the gifts reaches 20 yuan, then an additional 4000 will be added.

Additional chapters will be calculated based on two chapters updated per day, which is 4000 words. If the amount of additional chapters is not much, I will try to finish it the next day.

Finally, thank you again for your support! Your gifts and comments are my biggest motivation to keep going!
