The foreign businessman was furious, raised his hand and swung his knife, and struck the female slave with the blade. At this time, the burly slave named Asba suddenly rushed over, protecting the female slave behind him, and glared at the foreign businessman.
The foreign businessman hesitated for a moment. According to the rules of the market, the negotiated deal cannot be canceled even if no money is given. The goods now belong to Xie, and he has no right to abuse him wantonly.
At this time, the female slave immediately cried to Mrs. Xie: "Madam, I can cook, I can sew, I can raise horses, and I can beat your back and waist. I can do whatever you ask me to do." As long as you let me be with my Asba! Madam, please!"
At this time, Asba also knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Xie: "Madam, if you buy my Agatha together, my life will be yours!"
Ms. Xie doesn't like buying slaves in pairs, because once they settle down, they are likely to escape together, but she also knows that if she wants the slaves she buys to really work hard, she must win their hearts first!
Whips and long knives can make them kneel, but they cannot make them willingly die for themselves.
Mr. Xie pondered for a moment and said to the foreign businessman: "How much does this cost?"
The foreign businessman rolled his eyes wildly and muttered: "This... slave girl is not ordinary beautiful. Look at her emerald eyes, look at her breasts that are as familiar as mountain peaks, and look at her round and perky breasts. Buttocks, tsk tsk…”
Xie interrupted him rudely: "She is a woman, and female slaves are not as valuable as male slaves!"
The foreign businessman smiled slyly: "Yes, but she is not an ordinary woman. Without her, it would be useless for you to buy Asba."
Xie immediately knew that she had been tricked by the other party, but she was not an ordinary person. She was the one who had brought up a demon king like Li Chengfeng. Xie smiled coldly, approached the foreign businessman, and said, "You have two people now." The choices are, first, I will give you a normal price and take her away; second, if she separates from her lover, she will definitely commit suicide and die in love, and you won't get a word out of it!"
The foreign businessman's smile was a bit ugly: "How do you know?"
Mr. Xie sneered and said: "This Aspa is powerful, with thick fingers, thick calluses on his thumb and tiger's mouth, scars and sword marks can be seen on his chest, and there are even calluses on his shoulders. This must be a regular habit." A warrior with weapons and armor! His hand tendons and hamstrings have not been broken, and he seems to be quite strong. If he wants to escape, you will definitely not be able to stop him. The reason why he stays here must be for his own benefit. Lovers. The two of them are so deeply in love that they will be together for life and death! If you doubt it, you can give it a try!"
The foreign businessman stared at Mr. Xie, his face changed, and he said slowly: "Cunning Qi Ren, you win, take away the eight taels of silver!"
Asba and Agatha suddenly cheered, hugged each other, and cried with joy.
The slave trade in Daqi is very developed and well-managed. Normal slave transactions must have a guarantor to prove that both parties to the transaction are from good families and that the slave was not obtained illegally. Otherwise, if there are robbers who commit crimes and then seize them alive and sell them as slaves in the market for money, wouldn’t that mean the world would be in chaos
After negotiating with the foreign merchants, Xie found a guarantor from the market. After he provided guarantee, the buyer and seller each issued an official purchase and sale license stamped by the city government. The contract was then signed by the buyer, seller, guarantor and slave. Only when all parties sign and pledge, the deal is considered complete.
This contract was made in triplicate, with both the buyer and the seller and the guarantor each holding one copy. The guarantor's copy had to be filed and filed with the government, and the slaves were registered in the household register. From then on, it was recorded.
Mrs. Xie stared at them and said coldly: "From now on, you are members of our Li family! This is the ground of Daqi. Our Daqi territory rises from the sunrise and ends with the sunset. All lands are our Daqi territory! If you two want to escape, think clearly first. Without the slave release deed and customs clearance documents, how far can you escape? Where can you escape?"
The two men trembled and knelt down fearfully to express their submission.
Da Qi has been a country for hundreds of years, and its great power has spread all over the world. The last large-scale war is far away. The people have lived in peace and prosperity for more than a hundred years. Only the northwest border still has sporadic wars, but in a few years In the century-long history of expansion, Da Qi destroyed countless countries and annexed countless ethnic groups and territories. By the time Zhao Bairen, the emperor who was enjoying his success, had tens of millions of territories, and all the countries and tribes that defeated him were trembling in fear.
Ms. Xie nodded, turned around and left. Before taking two steps, she suddenly saw a slave trader leading a group of shackled slaves slowly walking through the street. These slaves were wearing the most shabby linen clothes. The expression was dull and numb, and he was short in stature. Xie just took one look at it and didn't want to look at it anymore.
But when Xie glanced at the end of the team, she suddenly saw a girl with disheveled hair looking at her eagerly.
This girl is of medium height. She is wearing linen clothes and shackles. Although her face is dirty, it can still be seen that she has a delicate and handsome face, especially her eyes, which are dark, bright and timid. With hope, Chu Chu is pitiful.
When the girl saw Madam Xie, she suddenly stopped, opened her mouth, and timidly shouted to Madam Xie: "Auntie!"
This cry was not loud, with a vibrato, but it was crisp and moving. It was like a sharp knife that stabbed into the softest part of Xie's heart, making her tremble all over and her eyes suddenly turned red and moist.
When the girl saw Mr. Xie's reaction, she immediately knelt down towards Mr. Xie and shouted sadly: "Auntie!! Save me!"
Xie's heart was broken by this sad and mournful cry. At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the difficult scene of hiding in Tibet with Li Chengfeng when she was five or six years old. The maternal nature deep in her heart was instantly aroused. got up.
Xie said loudly: "Wait a minute!"
Xie quickly walked up to the group of slave traders, pointed at the girl at the end of the group, and said, "How much does she cost?"
The slave trader was stunned and looked at her hand with a puzzled look on his face, but the nature of the businessman made him subconsciously say a number: "Twelve!"
Without saying a word, Mrs. Xie threw out a small bag of tips, which jingled. Then she came to the girl and looked at her with gentle eyes: "My child, you have suffered!"
The girl knelt down with a pop and cried, "Thank you, Mom, for saving my life!"
Ms. Xie knew that this was a method used by the other party to attract her, but she admired the cleverness of using her own advantages to save herself in a desperate situation. She loved this girl so much that she helped her up with her own hands and asked gently Said: "What's your name?"
The girl wiped her tears, laughed, and said in a clear and sweet voice: "Mother, my name is Su Yuehan!"
Mrs. Xie said happily: "What a name, what a name! Let's go home with my mother."
Su Yuehan responded crisply: "Hey!" and followed closely behind. Asba and Agatha looked at each other and followed cautiously.
After Mr. Xie completed the formalities with the slave trader, the slave trader who took the money bag was a little confused. Where did the female slave at the end of the team come from? Is it your own home
He quickly changed his mind and thought: Who cares, this windfall is not for nothing!
However, neither the Xie family nor the slaves or slave traders here would have thought that this woman named Su Yuehan, whose last two names were Cheng Qianfang and Su Zhixian, had countless and various kinds of stories in her long life. Identity: Assassin, killer, princess, lady, queen, dancer, thief, star official, beggar, robber, and the most terrifying identity that has never changed: demon...
Now, she has another identity: a maid.
Su Yuehan followed behind Mr. Xie. She lowered her head and looked cautious. No one could see the slightly raised corners of her mouth and the fleeting pride.
