C307 I'll Buy It(1)
Ho Yun'er ignored them. The longer the matter dragged on, the better it would be for her.
"Alright then. Let me ask you, did I ask for five thousand taels just now?" She turned around and asked.
A few of them did not manage to react in time. They nodded and shook their heads. Seeing the other party shake his head, they shook their heads as well. It happened to be the other way around.
"Since you guys aren't afraid of retribution, I have nothing to say." Ho Yun'er said to those who shook their heads.
There were still a few righteous businessmen who said, "I was also here just now. This lady asked for five thousand taels."
Ho Yun'er was very grateful towards that person's justice and smiled gratefully at him. Then she said, "I also have a witness, but Uncle, you just said... You bought me with a hundred taels of silver. If this wasn't robbery, what was it? You think you can bully me just because I'm a little girl? "
" This... "The man was a little embarrassed. He saw that the few people who had received the money had all left. His anger rose. He pulled Ho Yun'er hard and said, "I said I will buy you, so I will buy you."
In the eyes of most people, this was a man's fault. But who dared to say anything? They all turned a blind eye, thinking that they were just here to watch the show.
The man pushed the crowd and said, "Let's go, let's go... What's so good about a little girl?" He pulled her and left.
Ho Yun'er felt that something was wrong and quickly said, "She killed someone and robbed someone... She killed someone. He killed someone!!" She really hoped that the government officials would come quickly and save her. She told them that she was Ho Xingyang, Lord He's daughter.
However, no one had come to patrol. Usually, there were very few soldiers around the slave market, which was why it was so chaotic.
The man dragged her for about 30 to 40 feet. A youth who was as warm as jade and wore a jade crown and a thin shirt appeared behind them and said, "Stop right there! I'll buy it!"
The people who had originally dispersed gathered curiously again.
When the man saw that the youth had an extraordinary bearing, a few heroic young men followed behind him and said politely, "Little Young Master, you - you can't afford it!"
The young man smiled and said, "You paid a hundred taels for a girl who's worth five thousand taels. If I paid two hundred taels, wouldn't I be able to buy a girl who's worth ten thousand taels?"
Ho Yun'er thought that he was joking and was a little angry. But it was good that he appeared and gave her some time.
"Little Young Master, this girl is asking for five thousand taels. Can you afford it?" The man was determined to win back a city.
"Since you can buy it with a hundred taels, why should I pay five thousand taels?" The youth laughed with his hands behind his back.
Ho Yun'er was the first to speak, "He was the one who robbed me. She gave me a hundred taels and tied me up..."
"So you were the one who stole the child? Is there any law in this capital?"
The man said impatiently, "Where did you come from, stinky brat? To dare snatch my lass."
A person behind the youth raised his saber and was about to step forward when the youth raised his hand to stop him. "I didn't say I wanted to steal your girl. Since you can't afford five thousand taels, then... Then this girl isn't yours. I said it just now. I'll buy it! I can afford five thousand taels. "
The man laughed loudly and said," Then why don't you take out five thousand taels? If you can't take it out, this girl is mine. "
The young man smiled and took off his jade pendant. "This is worth at least three thousand gold. If you can't afford it... This girl is mine... "He took the silver note from the person behind him and said," Then this one hundred silver is yours. "
The people who were watching the show also started talking at the same time. They wanted to see who was richer if the two of them showed off their wealth.
The young man saw that the man was slightly stunned and went forward to let go of Ho Yun'er. He smiled and said, "Little girl, do you think this can buy you?"
Ho Yun'er looked at his smiling face that was as gentle as jade and nodded in a daze. She took the jade pendant that he handed to her. This glance was her entire life. It was as if she could see him stepping on a cloud and flying with her.
The man felt that he could not keep his face. He went forward and pulled Ho Yun'er, "There must be a first come first serve, right? Now it is me who bought her first!"
Being pulled by him, Ho Yun'er came back to her senses and said to the crowd, "Everyone, judge. I said five thousand taels, but he can't afford it. He even wanted to buy me by force. Now that this young master can afford five thousand taels, I will naturally sell it to him... " I will sell it to him.
In the crowd, a voice of justice finally appeared.
"Yeah, this person just ignored me!"
"He couldn't afford the money and even forced himself to buy this little girl!"
"What kind of person is this..."
An overwhelming voice. However, the man did not care that much. He pulled Ho Yun'er and left. At this moment, the person behind the youth rushed forward with a knife and placed it on his neck. Only then did the person release Ho Yun'er and beg for mercy, "A good man has mercy, a good man has mercy!"
That person threw a banknote on his face and said, "Scram!" The man picked up the banknote and ran away in fear.
The crowd also cheered and dispersed.
The youth didn't say anything else and turned around to leave. Ho Yun'er chased after him but was stopped by the guards. The young man turned around and dismissed the guards. Ho Yun'er took a few steps forward and presented the jade pendant to him, "Thank you young master for saving me. I will return the jade pendant to you."
