Chapter 59: Impure Gold
The man in black who knocked her unconscious breathed a sigh of relief, "It's my first time hitting a woman, I can't control my strength well."
The two men in black who arrived first also came over. The four of them surrounded Su Luo, wondering what to do with her. At this moment, eight or nine people turned into the alley. They were all tall and strong, but their temperament was not very good, with a bit of ruffian air... Sorry, I said it wrong. Yun Lang has a ruffian air, and they are at most hooligans.
They walked and laughed loudly. When they saw the four people were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Su Luo lying on the ground, they laughed strangely. The one walking in front raised his hand and pointed at them like crazy, "Hey, hey, hey! What do you want to do in broad daylight?"
"The world is going downhill, the world is going downhill." A man with oily hair and powdered face clapped his hands repeatedly, "I didn't expect that besides us, there are others who do such obscene things."
Several people around smiled obscenely, claiming that they must rid the people of the evil today.
They were talking animatedly, and the four men in black didn't even raise their heads as they continued to discuss their own affairs. They had originally wanted to leave Su Luo there and walk away, but now it was obviously impossible to do so. What a trouble!
The "heroes" did not notice the impatience of these people and were still shouting at those who knew what was best for them to get out of here, and that Miss Hua should stay and work.
A man in black raised his head and shouted, "Shut up! Didn't you see us talking?"
The "heroes" were startled, and then felt a little embarrassed. They counted the number of enemies and their own people, and compared the size of both sides. They all agreed that fists were the hard truth, and decided to carry out the heroic act of using the majority to bully the minority to the end.
War is always cruel. In this contest with a huge disparity in power, the victor will always win and the loser will always lose. The ratio is one to eight. The Black Legion even only sent one person, and the opponent could not last more than a quarter of an hour under his fist.
The "heroes" lay on the ground in a mess, still unwilling to give in. One of them covered his eyes with his hands and shouted, "Don't you dare leave a name? My uncle is the prefect of Yingtian. You scoundrels are molesting women in the street. I will report you to my uncle and have you executed on the spot!"
"Depend on!"
Following this powerful shout, a beam of golden light rushed straight to the face of the man with shaky eyebrows at lightning speed. He was not immediately knocked down without a word of nonsense. The hooligans who followed him in shouting became quiet instantly. They looked at the half-conscious man with shaky eyebrows and the palm-sized token on his face, a little confused. The man in black who hit him cursed: "NND, you dare to come out here when you can't even tell the difference between a soldier and a bandit! Can you read? Look carefully!"
The gang sent one to pick up the token from the man with eight characters eyebrow, studied it for a while, his face gradually turned blue, and he returned the token to the man in black with trembling hands, then ran away. The gang hurriedly followed, and one of the loyal men did not forget to drag the half-unconscious man with eight characters eyebrow. Eight characters eyebrow was dragged by the legs and his body was dragged on the ground. He woke up when he was about to reach the alley. When he saw the posture of his own side, he knew that he was doomed to defeat. He thought about going back to ask his uncle to avenge him, and said a classic line: The mountains and rivers remain unchanged, I will be back!
When Su Luo woke up, the world was completely quiet. Su Luo rubbed her neck and cursed the person who hit her. After a while, she stood up and looked at the chaotic environment and the flattened basket around her. She deduced that a fierce war must have just taken place here.
Could it be that someone came to save the beauty? He beat the black-clad man away but didn't show up, only protecting her in the dark... Su Luo held her face, dreaming for a moment, and then returned to reality. She had to leave here quickly, lest the black-clad army come back to attack her.
After walking a few steps, Su Luo saw a flash of light under a basket. She kicked the basket open and found a palm-sized gold medal lying quietly on the ground. It must have been left behind in a fight. Su Luo picked it up and saw a roaring tiger engraved on one side and a few seal characters on the other. After studying it for a long time, she decided to give up on recognizing them. She put the token to her mouth and bit down on it. She almost broke her teeth when she bit it. Damn, she had always thought that the gold medal was pure gold, but it was actually an alloy.
However, this thing should be quite useful. Su Luo remembered that the Black Army used such a small sign to show off their power on the day they entered the city. They must have some connections with the upper class. It seems that this time they have not gained nothing. Su Luo put the sign away proudly, walked to the alley, and looked around like a thief. When she saw no trace of the black-clothed men, she walked out boldly. When she passed by the mansion priced at 10,000 taels, Su Luo couldn't help but peek inside through the crack of the door. She wanted to see what kind of house could be worth 10,000 taels.
The result? No, the wealthy families all built a screen wall at the gate, so I just looked at the wall.
Su Luo was a little disappointed and became even more curious about the mansion. When he returned to the inn, the first thing he asked Zhou Si was, "Have you seen a mansion worth ten thousand taels?"
Zhou Chongwen was worried when she didn't come back for lunch. Seeing that she was covered in dust and her hair was a little messy, he asked worriedly, "What happened?"
Seeing Zhou Si's handsome brows twisted into a knot, Su Luo couldn't help but stretched out his hand to press it, "What are you doing? I'm not dead yet."
Zhou Chongwen grabbed her hand and stared at her. It seemed that he would not give up until she explained the reason.
Su Luo was too embarrassed to say that she had failed in her stalking attempt and was knocked unconscious, so she said that she had met four mad dogs and had to run several streets before she could shake them off hide the pain in his eyes, he reached out and wiped off the stain on her face, and said, "Are you hungry? I'll get you some food."
Su Luo smiled warmly, this guy is always so considerate.
After a while, Zhou Chongwen brought in a tray with a simple dish and rice. The dish was Jinling meatballs, which Su Luo liked. The golden color made Su Luo's appetite grow, but Zhou Chongwen stopped her, repeatedly warned her not to eat secretly, then went out to get a basin of water, wet a towel, and handed it to her.
Su Luo suddenly felt that Zhou Si was definitely qualified for the job of nanny. The image of a handsome young man wearing a lace apron and a dust hat cleaning the house emerged in her mind. How cute.
Su Luo sucked back the saliva that was about to flow out, and stretched out her hands capriciously, letting the male servant serve her. Zhou Chongwen smiled, took her hands and wiped them carefully, "I will walk with you tomorrow, and you are not allowed to go out alone again."
Su Luo said "Oh" with a smile on her face, fully enjoying the feeling of being pampered.
"Did you gain anything today?" Zhou Chongwen asked again, "I saw one place today, but it was a little far away."
"Of course there are gains." Su Luo's eyes lit up. "Have you ever seen a mansion worth ten thousand taels? What was your home like when your father was still alive?" Su Luo just asked casually. A censor who could be remembered by the people must be penniless and incorruptible.
Zhou Chongwen seemed to have seen through Su Luo's thoughts and said with a smile: "Luoyang is not a poor place. Even if my father was an honest official, it would not be as difficult as you think. On the contrary, the current emperor specially granted a house to my father in recognition of his achievements. Although it was taken back in the end, it can still be exchanged for 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver."
Su Luo widened his eyes in surprise. He never mentioned these things. She never expected that this guy was also a worldly-wise person.
