Xiao Junyi frowned slightly, and Xiaotong immediately shrank her neck and continued to look over there.

Chang Xiaojiu put his hand on Ashun's shoulder and looked at the boat manager; "Ashun is not a commodity, and he didn't sell it to you. Now, when it comes to the issue of money, I just want to make up for him. After all, you give him a place to shelter from the wind and rain. So, I don't want to bargain with you.

But you are too greedy and too overdo it.

I can take fifty taels of silver, but I just don’t want it as you wish, why?

In fact, even if you don’t agree to him leaving and I won’t take him away, since it’s already this far, do you think he can still be as honest as you used to be and do your work obediently?

It's not difficult if he wants to leave the ship. You can't tie him up with iron chains, right?"

The ship manager naturally listened to her words, but was still a little unwilling to accept it: "Then how much are you willing to give?"

"Ten liang, if you don't agree, forget it." Chang Xiaojiu knew very well how nervous he was at this moment.

In fact, there is another way, that is, go to the yamen to report to the official after getting ashore in Jingcheng.

The dynasty punished such matters in this dynasty for abducting children and abuse.

However, Chang Xiaojiu is in his special situation now and does not want to deal with the government, so he is afraid that there will be some excuses.

After all, his father was the prefect of Lizhou, and Jingcheng was still his jurisdiction, so Chang Xiaojiu did not dare to take this risk.

So, try to solve it in other ways.

Chang Xiaojiu had never thought that if the ship manager refused to let him go, he would teach Ashun to find an opportunity to run away.

But in that case, Chang Xiaojiu was worried and had already broken up with the ship manager. She was afraid that the night would be too long and the ship manager would become more and more abused by Ashun.

If it really doesn't work, I promised to give him fifty taels. Although it would be like a slap in the face if you compromised like that.

But compared with Ashun's peace, Chang Xiaojiu felt it was worth it, and it was not a shame.

Seeing that the ship manager hesitated and did not respond, Chang Xiaojiu felt confident and knew that it was his previous words that worked.

Ten taels of silver are too different from fifty taels, but it is always better than a bamboo basket to get nothing, and it is better to get a copper coin.

"Don't make things difficult for the manager, just let it go." Speaking of this, Chang Xiaojiu turned around and looked at the other passengers and bowed: "Everyone, please ask you one more thing. If anyone else wants to take this boat back, please help me see if this poor child is still safe.

If you have any injuries on your body, or if you are no longer on the boat, you dare not say that you can ask everyone to report to the official and check if the child was abused by him, or was killed and killed by revenge and thrown into the river. As long as you tell what you know, what you see, and what you see, go back and tell others to listen to." After that, Chang Xiaojiu bowed to everyone solemnly.

After saying that, Chang Xiaojiu didn't care what the attitude of the people he just asked for.

Because, she didn't really expect them to do that.

Through the past few days of traveling on the same boat, she already knew who they were from the little things they saw.

They are all rich, partly selfish, and partly timid and don’t want to cause trouble.

There were two female relatives who looked very sympathetic to Ashun, but they would not stand up and help say justice, because they dared not be that men are their god.

"What are you talking nonsense?" The ship manager couldn't stand the facts, and even said revenge and murder and throwing people into the river!

He is hitting people, but that doesn't mean he will kill people!

He also incited the passengers of the ship to see if Ashun is safe when traveling in the future?

The boat manager is very clear in his heart. Although other boat passengers are not nostalgic people, they will show off their mouths even if they don’t incite them.

Rumors often become more and more exaggerated, and people will continue to add fuel to the fire when spreading.

In the end, he, the ship manager, was probably rumored to be very vicious.

If it is not done well, it will also affect the business on the ship. If the most terrible thing is reached into the ears of the ship owner, then the ship manager may not be able to do it.

That's not possible. The shipowner has other businesses, so he can rest assuredly hand it over to him. In addition to the annual wages, he will also give him red envelopes at the end of the year. The oil and water he swallows privately every year is twice the wages.

No, this is absolutely not allowed to happen.

Thinking of this, the ship manager suddenly felt cold sweat.

"Forget it, ten taels are just ten taels. Actually, I am not greedy for money, but I am just worried that this child will follow you. Who knows if you will sell him? Now, since this kid is determined to follow you, I will not do this evil man anymore.

Everyone, please help me testify. From now on, Ashun’s battle has nothing to do with our ship.” At the end, he also bowed to the passengers as Chang Xiaojiu had before.

Chang Xiaojiu breathed a sigh of relief, too lazy to respond to him, so he reached out to take out ten taels of silver from his purse, gave it to Ashun, and asked him to hand it over to the ship manager.

As if he was dreaming, Ashun held ten taels of silver and handed it to the ship manager.

The ship manager reached out to take it, turned around and left.

"Ashun, if you don't have much luggage, don't go back to clean it up. If there is someone who wants to say goodbye, it's not too late tomorrow morning." Chang Xiaojiu said to Ashun excitedly.

Ashun nodded vigorously, and his nails were tying his palms hard. It hurts very much, not dreaming.

"I'm sorry, everyone has a rest." Chang Xiaojiu apologized to everyone again, hugged Ashun's shoulder and entered the cabin.

...

There was no fun watching, and the other passengers also returned to the cabin.

Xiao Junyi hugged her arms and leaned over to look at Xiaotong who had closed the door and said, "I never noticed before that you are so generous?" He actually said something to pay the fifty taels of silver to help.

"Young Master, this is not a matter of being generous and stingy. The old man always says that money should be used on the blade and you cannot save it when it should be used. Your stomach disease, Mr. Ye's prescription is effective.

Besides, the doctor’s previous medical treatment was given a lot." Xiaotong felt that what she said made sense.

Xiao Junyi shook her head: "You, do you think we paid 50 taels of silver and helped him, and he would thank us for it and get close to us?"

"At least the relationship can be improved." Xiaotong murmured in a low voice.

I thought I didn’t know who it was before, but I leaned forward with the cold face of others. Now I have such a good opportunity to perform, but I didn’t hurry up and taught him a lesson in reverse!

"Xiaotong, you have to use your brain before doing things. Let me ask you, what do you think Mr. Ye is treating that kid these days?" Xiao Junyi asked.

Xiao Junyi is now more curious about Mr. Ye and wants to make friends even more.
