After the transformation, I became the white moonlight of good and evil
Chapter 41: Entering the World
As soon as they got out of the door, they saw Muramasa who had hurriedly arrived. He was wearing a patched official uniform and the official hat on his head had faded its original color.
Behind them was a group of villagers who came to join in the fun, with Muramasa backing them up, and they were talking and pointing fingers at them.
When Guard Zhang saw the simple old man approaching first, he stretched out his hand to stop the movements of the people behind him and took the initiative to greet him. His expression changed slightly and was no longer as cold as before.
"Chunhua Pavilion guards, greetings to Lord Muramasa."
Hearing the man introduce himself, Muramasa was in awe. As the village closest to Jiangtao City, the name of Chunhua Pavilion was of course well-known.
Although it was just a brothel, the forces behind it were so complicated that a small villager like him could not afford to offend.
He is a poor and upright man, but at his age now he has also understood the principle of keeping a low profile.
"So it's you from Chunhua Pavilion. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."
Muramasa's yellow face wrinkled slightly, and he smiled and saluted. Then he asked, "I wonder why the three of you came to our village?"
The guard put his hand on the hilt of the knife, not showing much fear towards the high-ranking official in the eyes of others.
"We are only doing business with them this time. It is inconvenient to talk about the specific details."
Muramasa glanced at the couple who were shrinking behind the three men, then looked at the sacks in the hands of the two guards, and his expression became somewhat clear.
The old man's skin trembled slightly, and he forced a smile and said, "I see. I was rude."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and led.
"Please."
Guard Zhang clasped his fists in return and then quickly left with a few others.
The surrounding villagers gradually fell silent upon seeing this. Even Muramasa couldn't do anything to them, so how could these common people dare to ask any questions?
Watching them leave, Muramasa had already guessed what was in the sack and couldn't help but sigh.
He loved the girl very much, but he would not let her alone affect the future of the village. He turned around and looked at the villagers around him, his words revealing fatigue.
"Don't provoke those people, or I won't be able to save your lives."
After saying this, he put his hands behind his back, and his back lacked his former spirit.
Several guards named Zhang quickly arrived at the entrance of the village. At this time, the villagers who were watching the excitement were called back, and they looked at the carriage with fear as they left.
"Mrs. Lu, the Wang couple brought the goods they mentioned."
Mrs. Lu was resting her chin on her hand, her mind wandering. She finally came back to her senses when she heard the clear voice outside the car curtain.
Are people here?
She couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation, and with Cui'er's help, she came to the carriage frame accompanied by the ding-dong sound of Zhu Pei. She looked down and saw the guards surrounding the two ragged villagers.
They looked nervous, their eyes fixed on the ground, as if flowers had grown out of the mud.
Seeing their extremely ordinary faces, the heart that had just been raised up in her heart completely died.
She was a little suspicious, but her good upbringing prevented her from showing it. "But you two are going to sell the child to our Chunhua Pavilion?"
The village woman who was being guarded looked up awkwardly at the two women who were high above her, then quickly lowered her head.
Perhaps he felt that selling a child was too ugly, so he argued, "Madam, it was us. But we didn't sell it, we sent it to him. We wanted our child to learn a skill."
Haha~
As soon as these words were spoken, the maid beside Mrs. Lu couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud, her tone full of sarcasm.
"You are quite clever, and you are trying to excuse yourself. But what kind of place is Chunhua Pavilion? How can you play tricks here?"
"I think you are just beating the gong with rice straw. It's wishful thinking."
Such undisguised sarcasm made the couple speechless. The usually sharp-tongued woman did not dare to refute at all under the gleaming long knives around her.
"Xiao Cui, don't be rude."
Madam Lu pretended to reprimand the maid and said calmly, "We have never had the concept of foster care in Chunhua Pavilion. If you really want to find a good future for your child, then I advise you to take the child back."
When the woman heard this, she realized that the nobleman in front of her seemed to have lost interest, so she quickly reached out and slapped her mouth lightly: "Oh, madam, I am narrow-minded and I am too cunning. We sincerely want to sell it. Please don't take it to heart."
Then she reached out and poked the man in her family.
But he didn't have the courage to speak at this time, he just nodded with a hum. She was so angry that she wanted to slap this man in the face.
"Cut~"
Xiao Cui couldn't help but hear that. "Do you really think Chunhua Pavilion is a shelter? Not just any cat or dog can enter here."
"Yes, yes, that's what the girl said."
The woman smiled and nodded repeatedly. "But my appearance and figure are really amazing."
Then he secretly looked up at the two people in front of him and said, "Madam, ladies, please don't mind. I'm going to say something disrespectful, but your looks are nothing compared to my dog boy."
The man next to him nodded repeatedly when he heard this.
"Oh?"
Mrs. Lu reached out to stop the girl who was a little irritated by these words, and her tone fluctuated for the first time.
Although she and Cui'er were not the best looking, they had rouge in their mouths and applied makeup to cover their blemishes before leaving, so they could barely be considered beauties.
And the country kid she mentioned is actually more beautiful than the two of them now?
Then with a glance, the two guards immediately walked to the sack, reached out to untie the knot, and as the sack was pulled down, the appearance of the girl inside immediately shocked and amazed the people around them.
Even Cui'er, who had been unconvinced, was shaken and opened her mouth.
I saw a girl like a green lotus with her limbs bound. Her exposed skin shone brightly in the morning sun, and her black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall. Her phoenix eyes added brilliance to her pure and beautiful temperament, as if she was a rose in the heart of a lotus.
It is incredible that such purity and enchantment can be combined in this one girl.
The girl's pale face was reflected in Mrs. Lu's eyes. She had never seen a girl like this before.
"Is she really your child?"
She couldn't believe it. How could the two peasants not fit in with the girl in front of them?
"Hehe, ma'am, you really have a keen eye."
The woman took out a piece of brown paper from her bosom with a flattering look and showed it to us: "I exchanged this girl eight years ago. Because she was a girl, she couldn't be sold at a high price, so the trafficker gave her to us at a half-sold price."
The guard named Zhang took the indenture contract and respectfully presented it to the woman.
Mrs. Lu took it and looked at it carefully. She found that it was indeed as she said, and even more so. At this moment, she felt like she had hit the jackpot, and her face was full of excitement.
He suppressed his inner joy and asked, "What price do you want to sell it for?"
When the woman heard the question, her expression changed for a moment and she didn't know what the price was. She asked tentatively, "I want one hundred taels of silver, is that ok?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Lu twitched the corners of her mouth and found it inexplicably ridiculous.
With this girl's appearance, she would give it without hesitation even if it was five hundred taels of silver. But they only asked for a hundred taels, and I thought they would ask for a lot.
Xiao Cui beside her couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard the number.
Mrs. Lu's fingers trembled as she carefully put away the brown paper and casually ordered, "Xiao Zhang, give them one hundred taels."
Then he didn't want to say another word and turned back into the car.
The girl who was tied up tightly cried out when she heard this, and tried hard to break free from the hemp rope, looking at her adoptive parents beside her with pleading eyes.
But the two of them were immersed in the joy of getting a hundred taels of silver and the regret of losing less, so they had no time to pay attention to the girl.
Seeing this, Xiao Cui couldn't help but take another close look at the girl who was picked up by the guards. She snorted and followed her into the carriage.
The village woman didn't know she was short of money, and she was holding the ticket in her hand with annoyance in her eyes. But she didn't dare to ask for it, and could only watch them put the girl into the carriage.
