Chapter 371 Where in the world can there be such a good thing
"Second brother, why don't you return that indenture to us first? When we go to the village chief to settle accounts, we will definitely be the first to come and pay you back when we have money..."
"That's right, don't worry, Lao Er. As long as we get the money from the village chief, we will come back to return it to you..."
"Yes, yes, please return the indenture to us first. We are all from the same village. We will meet each other sooner or later. How could you not trust us..."
Everyone looked at each other, and then came to Xu Qinghe, talking to him one after another, all demanding that the indentures be returned to them first.
Ha ha……
You want to redeem yourself without paying a penny. You are making yourself a sucker. Where in the world can such a good thing happen?
Xu Qinghe looked at the calculating faces of these people and curled his lips in disdain.
However, Lai Zi on the side behaved contrary to his usual behavior and did not join in the commotion like the others. Instead, he was pushed to the side and just watched these people making a fuss at leisure.
"What is this for? What are we going to give back to you?"
Just when everyone was making a lot of noise, Song Yiheng came over with his men.
"Uncle Xu, you care about the fact that you are from the same village as them, and you said you would help them if you could, but I think these people don't take you seriously at all.
How about this, I have someone send them back to the mine?"
As Song Yiheng spoke, he waved his hand and a dozen followers armed with swords ran up from behind him and rushed towards the people of Xujia Village with ferocious looks.
"Master, please spare us! We will never dare to do that again..."
"Please don't send us back, second brother, please say something good for us..."
The group of people were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They immediately knelt down on the ground without caring about anything, grabbed Xu Qinghe's clothes and began to beg for mercy.
But these people are quite interesting. They used to call me Xu Lao Er all the time, but now they need me to beg them, and no matter their age, they all call me Second Brother.
"It's really hard for me to arrange these people, so I'll just let you, Mr. Song, make the decision."
Xu Qinghe reached out and handed the stack of indentures to Song Yiheng. The two of them exchanged glances and understood each other's meaning.
Of course, this was something they had discussed in advance. In order to prevent these people from doing bad things to their family, Song Yiheng, the young master of a wealthy family, had to step forward to intimidate them.
Otherwise, these people would be jumping around like disgusting fleas all day long, which would be really annoying.
"Brother, help me. I will obey you in everything from now on. Please don't send me back to the mine..."
Seeing that the indenture was taken over by Song Yiheng, Lai Zi could not help but throw herself at Xu Qinghe's feet, crying with snot and tears, looking very sad.
"We don't want to go back to the mine either. Second brother, please help us put in some good words for the sake of our past friendship..."
"Please, don't send us back..."
The others also kowtowed and begged. As long as they were not allowed to go back to the mine, they would do anything for them.
"Why don't you just leave the indenture contract with me and give them a chance? If these people don't know what's good for them and cause trouble for me, it won't be too late for you to send them back..."
Seeing that these people had completely surrendered, Xu Qinghe smiled slightly, turned to Song Yiheng and said.
"Then I will give Uncle Xu a favor and let them go this time. I will have someone collect the indentures. If I hear that these people are going to cause trouble for you, I will make them work as laborers in the mines for the rest of their lives."
Song Yiheng glanced at a few people very coldly, which frightened them on the ground and made them tremble. When they heard that they had escaped this time, they couldn't help wiping the sweat from their foreheads.
"Thank you for sparing my life, and thank you, second brother..."
"Thank you..."
The group of people were overjoyed and kowtowing on the ground. When they looked up again, they found that Xu Qinghe and Song Yiheng had already boarded the carriage and left with a group of people.
"Why are you all still standing there? If you dawdle any longer, you won't be able to enter the city today. You will all have to sleep outdoors in the wilderness."
Just when everyone was at a loss, two more followers came from behind.
They rode on tall horses, holding a heavy black whip in their hands, and looked at the eight people from Xujia Village with stern faces.
"Two gentlemen..."
Xu Dashan wanted to go up and say a few words to see if he could find out about Xu Qinghe's current situation.
"Snapped!"
"what!"
With a crisp sound, Xu Dashan was whipped to the ground, covering his face and screaming in pain.
"Dashan, how are you?"
When the others saw this scene, they were shocked and hurriedly ran to support Xu Dashan and retreated to a place a little further away from the two men.
"It hurts to death..."
Xu Dashan tremblingly let go of his hands, and everyone couldn't help but gasp when they saw his face.
There was a long whip mark on Xu Dashan's face, and his skin was torn and his flesh was exposed, which was very horrible.
I thought I had finally escaped from the mine and would not be beaten for no reason again, but I didn't expect this man to be so cruel and start attacking me without saying a word.
Everyone was shocked and angry, but looking at the whip in the other party's hand that was still stained with Xu Dashan's blood, they did not dare to make any sound.
"I'll count to three. If you keep wasting time here, don't blame us for whipping you."
The two followers didn't even bother to look at them. They uttered a few cold words and the whips in their hands drew an arc in the air, scaring everyone.
"Let's go... Gentlemen, let's go now..."
At the critical moment, Lai Zi reacted and gave the two of them a flattering smile. He didn't care that his whole body was in pain and he kept walking forward desperately.
"Let's go too, right now."
When the others saw this, they didn't dare to delay any longer, including Xu Dashan who had just been beaten. They all quickened their pace and walked quickly towards the capital.
At this moment, everyone thought of the same sentence in their minds, which was the sentence that the mine manager often said.
"You have all signed a contract to sell your bodies. Even if you are beaten to death here today, no one will say a word!"
Yes, their indentures are now in the hands of that young master, so if they are really beaten to death, they will just be thrown into a mass grave.
After this series of blows, the people in Xujia Village became completely honest and no longer dared to have any evil thoughts.
They were hurrying to get into the city, but Xu Qinghe and Song Yiheng, who had gone ahead, met a group of familiar people outside the city gate.
