When I looked at the woman in front of me, I suddenly remembered her.
In that urban village, she bought bread for us. I only remember her name being "Xiao Fang", which was probably not her real name.
"Qin Kuding, this brother is just a gangster. He's passing by and has a cup of tea. You guys should leave quickly."
The woman waved her hand, looked at me, smiled and said: "Xiang Yunfeng? Since you appear here, it seems that the time has come."
"Ah? Qin Kuding, do you know this brother?" .??.
"More than just acquaintance, we have helped him more than once."
"Lao Wu, how much money do you still have to pay this month?"
The man immediately bowed down and said, sweating profusely: "We still have less than 50,000 yuan to go back to Qin Kuding, but don't worry! We can make up for it today!"
"Okay, you guys stay here and watch, you"
She pointed at me and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
Brother Yu frowned and asked me if I had any questions?
I shook my head and said I wasn't sure what I mean by "my time has come?"
My initial impression of this girl was that she had a strong aura of prodigy, she would hold the golden thunder-yellow arm of a big fat man and scream, but now she is not like that at all. As expected, women are fickle.
"Sorry, you can't come in." Brother Yu was stopped outside.
I gave Brother Yu a look, meaning wait for me, she is Ms. Zhao's and should not harm me.
The door closed and we sat face to face on the sofa. The water on the coffee table was still cold.
"Beauty, are you called Xiaofang? Or Qin Kuding?"
In order to cover up my guilty conscience, I pretended to take a sip from the teacup.
She crossed her legs and said with a smile: "You are quite sweet, but congratulations, you will be Xiang Kuding from now on. We are colleagues of the same level."
"cough!"
I choked on my saliva.
He coughed and said, "I am Xiang Yunfeng. When did I change my name to Xiang Kuding? Don't scream nonsense."
"Haha, come here, let's talk closer," she patted the sofa next to her.
I immediately shook my head: "No, I won't go, you can just say so."
The door was closed and the air conditioner was on, so it wasn't too hot, but she still deliberately unbuttoned a few buttons on her top.
"Since you came here and saw me, it means that the time has come, and I can tell you some things."
She looked at me and said: "Xiang Yunfeng, you have sold to us. We have a contract of sale written in black and white."
"What the hell??"
I didn't react when I heard this sentence.
"Are you kidding me? What do you mean I sold to you? Who sold me and there is a deed of sale??"
With a serious look on her face, she nodded and said, "It's written in black and white. Although it's not on my body now, I have photos. You can take a look."
She took out her phone and flipped through it for a while, then threw it directly to me.
When I saw it, I was dumbfounded.
"Deed of Sale."
"Introducer: Chen Hong."
"There is a man named Xiang Yunfeng, whose ancestral home is in the Northeast. Today, he sold it to Ms. Zhao Qingwan for free."
"Ghostwriter: Qin Huaihu."
"Mediator Buyer: Zhao Qingwan."
"Seller: Du Yinye."
"It's written in black and white, I'm afraid I'll have nothing to prove, and I'll never return."
The year, month, day and time were written at the bottom, and there was a big bright red handprint next to my name.
Damn!
I'm confused, why was I sold to someone else!
Chen Hong, Sister Hong is the introducer!
Du Yinye is my grandma’s name! It even has my grandma’s signature!
Seeing me stunned, the woman slowly took back her phone and said with a smile: "We are all here like this, you will get used to it after a while."
This contract of selling oneself is like a bolt from the blue.
I instantly remembered the previous scene.
That night, Xi'an poet Qin Huaihu asked me to go to Fu Village overnight. On the way there, I met Jiang Yuan who was walking backwards. And that night! My head was covered, my hands were grabbed, and some kind of fingerprints were pressed!
As for this matter, I would never have thought of it! Sister Hong and grandma sold me to someone else.
"What? Are you still excited?"
"Sit down and drink some water," the woman said.
"What water to drink!"
My face was livid, my chest was heaving, and I said loudly: "I don't know about this! I was forced to do it!"
She shook her head and said: "Xiang Yunfeng, you haven't thought about it. We help you deal with the Jin brothers and help you suppress the Changchun Society. What do you want from us?"
"You have no family, no power and no background. We have helped you several times. Is it just for your mere 200,000 yuan membership fee?"
"I."
I was speechless for a moment because there was really no reason to refute.
Yes, I am just a very young tomb robber, making a fortune from dead people and struggling at the bottom of society. Why have they helped me so many times before?
Zhao Qingwan, this woman is so aloof, her noble and powerful aura makes any man lower his head in front of her and dare not look up, why does she keep helping me.
I finally have the answer.
Because I was sold to her. To use an analogy, the nature is just like a landlord buying a maid or a concubine in the old society.
The woman named Xiaofang took out a delicate nail clipper and said while trimming her nails: "So I just said, congratulations on joining us. Chen Hong has also joined the master."
"This is a good thing. If you follow us, from now on, Xiang Yunfeng will have whatever you want in terms of status, women, safety, and fame. If you want, I can give it to you."
She smiled and said in a slightly teasing tone: "Our organization is full of big men. You should be the youngest, and you are also the official Kudin. My sisters will all have fun in the future.
"
I was scared and asked her what is Kudin?
Is it a Kuding? It means working like a cow or a horse without having enough to eat, sleeping in a pig pen or a sheep pen, and working day and night.
After hearing this, she laughed and said: "You are really interesting in what you say. Do you often tease girls like this? It's Kuding, not Kuding."
"Anyway, you have signed the contract a long time ago. The master will see you sooner or later. Let me give you a brief explanation first.
Down."
"There are thirteen provinces in Changchun. As far as I know, we have about five departments, and one department is directly under the master. I have no right to know."
"Write down the five departments."
"Kuding in the middle of the night, Xiu Yi Zhi Zhi, Guanyin Society, Wuchang Diao Ke, and the last one is called Zhangan Department,"
She continued: "It sounds a little strange, but these names have inheritance and origin, and you will get used to them as time goes by."
"You and I, we both belong to the Kudin branch in the middle of the night. We can manage people, but our main role is to collect money for our master. The stronger your ability to collect money, the higher your status in Kudin."
"Like thieves, although tomb robbers are the lowest of the low, it is undeniable that they do have a strong ability to make money. The master did not take you seriously at first. The reason why the master chose to go head-to-head with Changchun for you is mainly because
That’s Chen Hong’s credit.”
"The Changchun Society has not touched you during that period. If the master hadn't protected you, you would have died long ago."
After talking some more, she left me an address and asked me to go there in the next two days. After that, she twisted her hips and left.
After coming out, Brother Yu said: "Yunfeng, why are you so pale?"
"White?"
I rubbed my face vigorously, faster and faster.
My action of rubbing my face startled Brother Yu, who thought it was Ah Chun's itchy powder that was acting up again.
I quickly said it was okay and I would make a call.
There were a lot of people in the Snake King Temple in the afternoon. When I walked to a deserted corner, I searched for a while and found a landline number to call.
"Hey, Aunt Liu, I'm Fengzi."
"Fengzi! People say that you became the general manager in Beijing and sent you tens of thousands of yuan during the Chinese New Year! You are so successful!"
"No way, Aunt Liu, she's just a little boss. Where's my grandma? Ask her to answer the phone."
"Don't hang up, I'll call you."
After waiting for a few minutes, grandma's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Xiao Feng? What's going on?"
"Grandma, are you feeling well? I'll go back to see you when I have time."
"Don't come back if you're busy. Work is important. Work hard for your boss. If you can get a wife back some time, grandma will be happy."
My nose is sore, I said yes, I will get you as many as you want.
"Grandma, about half a year ago, did you sign anything? You even took your fingerprints." I asked.
"Ah? I'm making noodles."
"It's not about making noodles, it's about whether you have done any fingerprints."
"Press fingerprints?"
Grandma thought for a while and said, "I remembered it. Yes, isn't he from your construction company? He said that if he wanted to promote you, he would have to press his fingerprints."
"Grandma, did you press the button after reading it?" I asked.
"Haha, I didn't watch it." Grandma said with a smile.
Take a few deep breaths.
I told grandma, please pay more attention to your health, and I will also send money home. I gave a few words of advice and then hung up the phone.
On the way back, I thought about what the woman said.
Zheng Hui of the Changchun Society died, and the world was in chaos.
Three religions and nine streams, all mentioned The string puppets, the owner of the puppet theater, Ms. Zhao decided to take action and wanted to annex the entire Changchun Society!
Zhao Qingwan has five major departments.
Kuding in the middle of the night, at the pole, Wuchang hangs off guests, embroidered clothes point directly to the Guanyin Society.
Based on what the woman said, plus my understanding.
Kudin, in ancient times, refers to the small soldiers who worked in the bank. Although they had no official or position, they were extremely rich. Because they could make money, Kudin could often bring large silver coins into and out of certain special places. Added
The word "midnight" is because most of the ways to make money are illegitimate and must be done secretly in the middle of the night. This is true for thieves, and even more so for tomb robbers.
Xiuyi Zhizhi is a special institution in the Han Dynasty in the history books. It is similar to the Dongchang and Xichang in the Ming Dynasty. It directly obeys the emperor's orders and catches corrupt officials and punishes bullies. It has the ability to kill first and punish later. Its status is probably equivalent to the provincial officials of the Changchun Society.
Zhangan Department was an agency in the palace that specialized in swatting mosquitoes, catching cockroaches, and exterminating rats. Ms. Zhao was responsible for intelligence infiltration, personnel movement, and organizing activities.
Wuchang Diao Ke, in ancient times there were retainers and Diao Ke. The retainers were talented people who came to help the master with advice and relied on their brains. The Diao Ke referred to those who were highly skilled in martial arts and could help the master kill and bury people. Wuchang Diao Ke
Guest, as the name suggests, is as seductive as black and white and impermanent.
As far as I know, Ms. Zhao's pick-up department is full of people who are super capable of fighting. If this department didn't exist, there would be no way to compete head-on with the Changchun Association.
The Changchun Club definitely wants to get rid of Zhao Qingwan, but can it?
No, those people who are at the front of the queue will directly compete with Xie Qirong, Ma Wangye, etc.
Finally there is a Guanyin Society.
I heard that all the women in the club are women. I don’t know what the specific responsibilities are. I only know that they all have a bronze plaque with a carving of Guanyin of the South China Sea riding a dragon, which is Guanyin riding a dragon.
Midnight Kudin has the lowest status in these departments. He is only responsible for making money for his master. Most of them are thieves, scoundrels, bullies, ladies, fraudsters, and tomb robbers. If they can't make much money every month, they are useless.
will be abandoned.
.
After I went back and talked about these things, I asked: "Botou, I called you that night and you told me that Sister Hong and I would meet again one day. Do you know this, Boss?"
"No," he shook his head and said back to me: "Yunfeng, believe me, I only vaguely guessed it at the time, and I didn't know the details."
"Of course I trust you, but..."
I said dejectedly: "Then what should we do now? What kind of Kuding have I become? I was sold to others by Sister Hong and Grandma, so our money is still our money."
"Um."
Putting his head down on the tea cup, he thought deeply and said: "People are important, and money is also important. Before you meet Ms. Zhao."
"Yunfeng, we are like this"
I nodded repeatedly, but I was still a little worried.
Ten minutes later, I came out of the room and dialed a number.
"Hello."
"I'm the leader of the plan."
"It's Chief Xiao Xiang. Don't call me Chief Ji. It's too ugly. Call me Lao Ji. What's the matter?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if Brother Tian can save money there?"
