Chapter 929: The Young Marquis's Broken Engagement Wife (51)
"That kid wouldn't be so bold!" Although Servant A reminded him, he still didn't dare to believe it. "Although this medicine is for treating legs, but..."
Servant B was even more frightened than him: "Let's not talk about the leg or not. I heard that the nobleman from the capital seemed to have no children. I hope nothing will really happen this time!"
"Sir, if we leave and there is no news, if the two of us stay here and the truth comes out one day, we will be in trouble!" Slave A no longer cares about money. They must get themselves out of this situation.
"Let's escape!" Slave B suggested randomly, "My lord is a dilettante. There are many treasures left in this house. We can sell them and use the money to live in the inland of Yu State.
Wouldn't it be nice to have money, create a new identity, change your name and become a rich man?"
Although Slave A also wanted to escape, he knew that if he was caught as a fugitive slave, the consequences could be serious or minor.
And often family members will be implicated as well.
There are not many people at my friend's house, so Servant B doesn't matter.
But he couldn't do that because he had a younger brother and parents at home.
Who knows
"Don't you know who our master is?" Servant B snorted coldly, "If his identity is revealed, we'll all be dead. It's better to try to gain a better future."
Slave A was finally persuaded and began to sell and pawn things in the house one after another the next day.
However, because they were afraid of being discovered, they took their belongings to other surrounding towns to pawn them, and they looked for pawnshops in different places.
The ideals were great, but the reality dealt them a heavy blow - there were no valuable collections here. Although the things here were not cheap, they were still far from the large amounts of gold and silver they had imagined.
Seeing that the house was almost emptied, there were only a few hundred taels of silver left.
Servant A couldn't help but feel a little discouraged: "It's only a few hundred taels, each person won't get much!"
"How about we go big and pawn this house?" Slave B had another idea. "If we pawn it, the price will be a bit better, but it has to be cash."
The two of them hit it off immediately, and then they both started working on selling the house.
one day
The two men met Doctor Zhou at the restaurant.
Servant B was chatting about the house with the previous guest who had viewed it.
After listening to the general situation, he knew that this person probably wanted to abscond with the money.
Doctor Zhou looked around again and found that Slave A was not around, so he became even more convinced that someone wanted to take it all for himself.
This man was also a person who loved to watch the fun and took advantage of the time when Servant B was talking to someone else to go straight to the house.
He was also very short-sighted. He had already entered but had not noticed that the antique display cabinet that used to be filled with items was now empty.
He even excitedly complained to Servant A.
"I say, even if this house is to be sold, you should have the final say. What is he, an assistant, doing?" Doctor Zhou thought he was very good at sowing discord. "You! Don't say I didn't take care of you. If something like this happens, you should prepare early!"
Slave A certainly knew what Slave B went out to talk about today.
The two of them had originally agreed to go out together.
But before leaving, Slave A felt that he was not very good at speaking, and it would be bad if he angered the buyer.
"Don't worry, when this house is sold, we'll split the money!" Slave B comforted him. "We've been brothers for many years. I definitely won't keep it all for myself."
Therefore, Servant A, who was already feeling uneasy in the house, felt that his affair with his friend had been exposed when he heard what Doctor Zhou said.
It was a rare opportunity in life to use one's brain, so he asked Servant A to pour water for Doctor Zhou and to speak along with his words in order to appease him.
"The tea is cold. Doctor Zhou, please sit here for a while. I'll refill your water!" After saying that, he walked out.
He was holding a kettle, but he also had a piece of wood as thick as his arm hidden in his sleeve.
The tea had just been refilled, and when Doctor Zhou had just put the cup to his lips, Slave A attacked and hit him on the head with a wooden stick.
Perhaps it was because the incident was too sudden, and Doctor Zhou was tall and strong, so he was not hurt at all.
Seeing that the other party was fine, Servant A hit Doctor Zhou on the head and body several times in a row.
Even though his head was broken, Doctor Zhou didn't fall down!
He reached out to grab the stick from Slave A's hand.
but
"Bang!" After two loud sounds, the man finally fell down.
It turned out that Servant B, who had rushed home, saw the fight and without saying a word, picked up the wooden stick that fell on the ground and hit Doctor Zhou twice on the back of the head, and the man really fell down.
"What's going on? Why are we fighting with him?" Slave B didn't quite understand the reason.
Servant A repeated what Doctor Zhou had just said to him, and at the end he said worriedly, "Will the news of us selling the house get out like this?"
