Chapter 181 Three Consecutive Shocks in My Heart
With his long legs and stable stance, Huangfu Qian simply used his foot to steady himself when Xia Mo deliberately stopped abruptly.
Xia Mo's eyes darkened.
Huangfu Qian remained expressionless.
Summer ended automatically changed the subject, saying, "The young master was chosen, but he didn't accept it. Instead, it was taken by a collateral branch. Let's go pick up the people, the people who were actually robbed."
Xia Mo led Huangfu Qian to a less crowded alley.
There are few people here because there's a dead end a little further ahead.
Xia Mo collected all of Huangfu Qian's belongings into her soul space, then led the way, heading directly towards the flower street.
* * *
Flower Street——
The Red Street is a street designated by the state government. Any business operating brothels, courtesans, or male prostitutes is only permitted to operate on the Red Street. If they are found to be operating on other streets, they will be dealt with according to the law!
Xia Mo led Huangfu Qian from one end of the street to the other, a place frequented by porters, hoodlums, and other people with little money but cunning schemes.
Huangfu Xuangou and Xia Mo are still disguised, and their clothes and appearances are similar to those of the guests who come here, all looking drab and gray.
"Are you looking for a young woman or a married woman?"
The plump, dark-skinned Flower Mother blocked Xia Mo and Huangfu Qian's path and asked them a question.
Perhaps it's true that appearance reflects the heart; the dark-skinned, plump Hua Mama's face seemed to have the words "cunning" written on it, making people inexplicably disgusted just by looking at her.
“I want him,” Xia Mo said again, her voice that of a boy, pointing towards an elderly woman surrounded by three raggedly dressed people.
“Her? She’s no good. She’s been bribed,” the fat, dark-skinned Flower Mother immediately shook her head.
Xia Mo turned to look at Huangfu Qian beside her.
Huangfu Qian took out a silver note with a face value of one thousand taels.
When the chubby, dark-skinned Hua Mama saw that it was a thousand taels, she was so tempted that she reached out to snatch the silver note from Huangfu Qian's hand.
"Is that enough?" Xia Mo calmly reached out and blocked Hua Mama's hand.
"Well... that depends on what you're planning to do," Mama Hua chuckled. She had her eyes on Huangfu Qian, and every time she looked at him, she would swallow hard.
After being disguised, Huangfu Qian's skin was dark yellow and rough, but his robust physique was something that couldn't be faked.
The shameless Hua Mama has her eye on Huangfu Qian's great figure.
Xia Mo raised an eyebrow and deliberately asked Hua Mama in a teasing tone, "The guards on my side were bought from the escort agency for three thousand taels of silver. You've taken a liking to them, how much are you offering?"
"Three thousand taels? Why don't you just rob me!" Madam Hua immediately raised her voice when she heard Huangfu Qian ask for three thousand taels.
“He’s 1.88 meters tall, with long legs and a strong build. But those aren’t his biggest strengths. He knows martial arts, and he’s very good at it. He can take down all 31 pimps you’ve brought by himself, not to mention cripple all their limbs,” Xia Mo said, looking at Mama Hua with a half-smile.
Madam Hua had her eye on Huangfu Qian, but was reluctant to pay. She gestured behind her back, summoning the thirty-one pimps she had invited, intending to rob him by force.
Mother Hua stared at the person in front of her in shock and horror. She hadn't said anything, so how could this young man have guessed her thoughts?!
"Does Hua Mama want to make money, or does she want her building demolished?" Xia Mo asked with a half-smile.
Mama Hua gestured again from behind, signaling the pimps in the building not to move.
"Hehe, look at what you're saying, esteemed guest. You are a guest, how could we treat a guest like that? Hehe," Mama Hua looked directly at the ordinary-looking, short man, her heart pounding.
Xia Mo has grown taller, but she's still only 1.5 meters tall. Now that she's dressed as a man, isn't she very short among men?
"That one was bribed by someone who spent a lot of money, but mine..." Mama Hua chuckled.
“A great value, a hundred taels, that’s a really high price,” Xia Mo replied sarcastically.
Hua's mother was dumbfounded.
I don't understand, how does Xia Mo even know the price at which the other party was bought? Could it be... that this short man in front of me is actually not simple?!
"Hehe..." Mother Hua pretended to be stupid and chuckled foolishly.
“I’ll offer a thousand taels, and I’ll take her with me, life or death, whatever you say?” Xia Mo reached out and pressed down on the pillar beside her.
The pillar beside her is one of the main pillars supporting the room; it is made of dense, thick wood and can withstand a weight of nearly a thousand kilograms.
"Hehe, hiccup..." Just as Hua's mother, who was pretending to be stupid, was about to roll her eyes, she was so frightened that she shrank back and hiccuped in fright.
As summer's hand moved away from the sturdy pillar, five finger-sized holes appeared on it! Each finger-sized hole was an inch deep!
Too scary!
Mother Flower swallowed hard, then looked at Xia Moshi with fear in her eyes.
“You… taking people away, I… I don’t know how to explain this to them,” Mother Hua said, holding her breath and speaking cautiously.
Xia Mo said, "You accepted a thousand taels of silver. Whether the person escapes or dies is entirely up to you, isn't it?"
Madam Hua's eyes darted around. She couldn't afford to offend these two people, and this thousand taels was a lot of money. Normally, she would only see one or two taels of silver at most, so she couldn't let this thousand taels go!
“Please come with me to the backyard,” said Mother Flower.
Xia Mo didn't care whether Mama Hua had other intentions. After all, even if it was just her and Huangfu Qian, the entire brothel couldn't match them.
In the small room in the backyard of the brothel—
Madam Hua gave a few instructions to the pimp who had come with her. Soon, the two pimps tied an old woman's hands with rope and dragged her over like a domestic fowl.
“Here it is,” Mother Flower said with a fawning smile to Xia Mo.
Huangfu Qian threw out a silver note with a face value of one thousand.
It was just a piece of light paper, but when Huangfu Qian threw it, it flew out like a hidden weapon.
Flower Mom: "..."
It seems the 3,000 taels was indeed the price; her skills are unmatched by any pimp in her brothel.
That's true. If you had that kind of skill, who would still be working in a brothel?
Madam Hua carefully picked up the silver note and gestured for Xia Mo and the others to proceed: "If you can get her out of the city, I'll dare say she's escaped!"
The reason why Mama Hua didn't say "she's dead" is because she had sold the old woman before, and then told the person who sold her "she's dead." The amazing thing is that the other person knew all about it!
This is also why Hua's mother said "she ran away" this time.
With a flick of her wrist, a large burlap sack appeared in her hand. She simply slipped the person into the sack, then easily lifted it up and swaggered away!
Flower Mom: "!!!" She was shocked three times in her mind.
