Liu Heng said quietly when Kou Ji was reading Lu Ming's deed of betrayal.
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment. He finally understood why Lu Ming was staring at him and not speaking.
This is the psychological shadow of being sold.
No wonder.
He was just a child who was passed over three times.
Now that he is about to be handed down again, it is strange that there is no shadow in his heart.
"Tear!"
Under everyone's shocked eyes, Kou Ji casually tore up the deed of betrayal.
Lu Ming's eyes widened and he looked at him in shock.
Kou Ji patted Lu Ming on the shoulder and said with a smile: "From today on, you will follow me. My name is Kou Ji. You can call me Young Master like Er Bao."
The tearing up of the contract of betrayal had a huge impact on Lu Ming.
He stood there blankly.
a long time.
Come back to your senses.
His tears couldn't stop flowing down.
He knows better than anyone what the deed of betrayal means to him.
With the deed of sale, he is just a commodity; without the deed of sale, he is just a person.
This person who gave him freedom and made him an adult left an extremely tall image in his heart at this moment.
He howled.
"Master..."
Kou Ji smiled and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Liu Heng opened his mouth when he saw this scene, not knowing what to say.
The moment Kou Ji tore up the contract of betrayal, Liu Heng wanted to stop him.
But now, Liu Heng just wanted to praise Kou Ji for his clever methods.
Kou Ji can obtain Lu Ming's people due to the bond of betrayal, but he may not be able to obtain Lu Ming's loyal heart.
But by tearing up the contract of betrayal, Kou Ji not only gained Lu Ming's people, but also gained Lu Ming's loyal heart.
In Liu Heng's eyes, this is the most brilliant way to win people's hearts.
"Stop crying, take a rest, and I'll take you to have a nice meal later."
Kou Ji comforted Lu Ming, then turned back to Erbao and said, "He is younger than you, so he is considered your younger brother. You have to take care of him in the future."
Erbao heard this and nodded seriously, "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely take good care of brother Lu Ming."
As he spoke, he walked up to Lu Ming, pulled Lu Ming aside, and generously shared his treasured snacks with Lu Ming.
Liu Heng sat at the table, clucking his lips and exclaiming: "Fourth brother is really good at it!"
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, understood the meaning of his words, shook his head and said with a smile: "You are wrong. I did not use any tricks in this matter, I just don't like to see people turned into goods."
Liu Heng stood in awe, "Fourth brother is highly righteous."
"Shit! I'm just doing what I can. After all, in our Song Dynasty, there are many children like him. And he is the only one I can save."
Kou Ji pouted and sat opposite Liu Heng.
"Pour the tea!"
Kou Ji waved to Su Chan'er and gave instructions.
Su Chaner curled her lips and stepped forward to help Kou Ji and Liu Heng pour tea.
Liu Heng snorted: "What should I say? She is also your sister-in-law, so you can't be polite to her?"
Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng, then at Su Chan'er, and said with a strange expression: "Are you really planning to marry a brothel girl?"
Liu Heng was stunned, gritted his teeth, and remained silent.
It is impossible for Liu Heng to marry a brothel girl as his wife.
His father couldn't pass the test.
Even the queen can't pass it.
When Su Chan'er heard this, she looked at Kou Ji with a dark expression, bit her lips lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Master Kou, are you looking down on our brothel girls?"
Kou Ji looked at Su Chan'er seriously and said, "I just don't like someone treating my brother like a monkey."
Liu Heng was stunned and stared at Kou Ji and Su Chan'er.
He didn't understand what Kou Ji meant.
Su Chaner understood.
She bit her red lips tightly, clenched her fists, lowered her head, and said, "The little lady doesn't understand what Mr. Kou means..."
Kou Ji twitched his lips and said to Liu Heng: "Originally, I didn't intend to expose this matter. However, since I recognize you as my brother, I don't want you to be deceived."
Liu Heng said nervously: "What does fourth brother mean by this? Do you think Chan'er is lying to me?"
Kou Ji nodded and said, "She doesn't like you, and everything she does with you is just for fun."
Kou Ji could see this as early as the moment he met Su Chan'er for the first time.
It's just that he was too lazy to meddle in other people's business, so he didn't expose the matter.
Now that he and Liu Heng have become brothers, he will naturally not watch Liu Heng being coaxed by a brothel girl.
Kou Ji agreed to come to Wanhua Tower with Liu Heng today for two purposes.
The first is to see the treasure Liu Heng talks about; the second is to help Liu Heng cut off this bad relationship.
"impossible!"
Liu Heng screamed, stood up, and looked at Kou Ji blankly.
Kou Ji shook his head and said: "Nothing is impossible. The reason why she is accompanying you to have fun is just to borrow your name and push away other benefactors."
Kou Ji stood up, pointed at the furnishings in Su Chaner's boudoir, and said, "Look at the furnishings in her boudoir. Half of them are elegant, and the other half are extravagant. You must have added the extravagant ones. The elegant part is the only one."
It's something that belongs to her.
Among her things, the most numerous are paintings and calligraphy.
This shows that she prefers talented people.
But you are an ignorant person.
Among the paintings and calligraphy in her collection, Liu Qi's paintings and calligraphy are the most numerous.
This shows that the person she likes is probably Liu Qi.
Not you."
Liu Heng looked at the furnishings in Su Chan'er's room, then looked at Su Chan'er, and asked tremblingly, "Is what my fourth brother said true?"
Kou Ji said this, and Su Chan'er knew that she couldn't hide it any longer.
Su Chan'er looked at Liu Heng with a pale face, closed her eyes in pain, and whispered: "With your intelligence, you should have guessed..."
Su Chan'er's words were equivalent to acquiescing to Kou Ji's statement.
Liu Heng didn't want to believe it, but he had to believe it. He staggered back a few steps and looked at Su Chan'er in disbelief.
Su Chaner lowered her head in shame.
Kou Ji saw that Liu Heng's eyes were red, and he quickly stepped forward, held him, and whispered: "Don't cry, it's not worth it."
Liu Heng didn't cry or make a fuss. He just gritted his teeth to hold back his sadness and nodded stiffly.
"Let's go..."
Kou Ji took Liu Heng, called Er Bao and Lu Ming, and left Su Chan'er's boudoir.
Before leaving, Kou Ji glanced at Su Chan'er and said calmly: "Miss Su... take care of yourself."
When Su Chaner heard this, she squatted on her butt and fell to the ground.
Her face was pale and she was trembling all over.
Not because of guilt, but because of fear.
There is a price to pay for teasing a dandy with a rich background.
After Liu Heng learned the truth of the matter, he didn't deal with her. It wasn't because he couldn't do it, and it wasn't the right time.
When the love in Liu Heng's heart is gone, she will be unlucky.
Kou Ji pulled Liu Heng out of Wanhua Building.
Liu Heng grabbed Kou Ji's arm and growled with red eyes, "Fourth brother, I want to drink!"
"Brother will accompany you!"
The two of them had just left the street where Wanhua Tower was located.
He was stopped by a group of burly soldiers.
It was the Liu family general sent by Liu Mei to capture Liu Heng.
"Third Young Master, the general wants you to come back with us."
The Liu family will besiege Kou Ji, Liu Heng and his entourage said in a stiff tone.
Liu Heng grabbed Kou Ji's arm and begged weakly: "Fourth brother, help me..."
Kou Ji looked coldly at the generals of the Liu family.
"roll!"
Hearing this, the general of the Liu family moved closer, apparently intending to use force.
Kou Ji looked at them coldly and said: "You want to use force on me? You can try it. I don't mind beating the drum and asking the officials who allowed Liu Mei to commit the crime?"
The general of the Liu family was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Kou Ji with a little more fear.
In this city of Bianjing, no one dares to use Dengwen drum to make fun of it.
That was for filing a petition against the emperor.
Once the drum sounds, the officials have to come in person.
Of course, you can't just file a lawsuit if you want to.
In front of the Dengwen Drum, there are one hundred imperial guards guarding the area. If you want to file a complaint, you must first receive a hundred killing sticks.
Generally, those who complained were beaten to death before they even reached the Dengwen Drum.
