Commander of the Kyoto Guardian.
After the commander Luo Zhen came out of the prison, he went directly to the commander's office. When he saw Zhao Jin, he bowed respectfully, "Report to the commander, the prisoner does not confess."
Zhao Jin closed a booklet and smiled, "Have you run out of methods?"
Luo Zhen nodded and said, "It's all exhausted, but I won't say anything."
Zhao Jin got up, "It's pretty tough." He walked out of the house and walked in the direction of the prison, "I'll see what the prefect of Lin is hiding."
As the saying goes, the prison is a hell that exists in the world, and the prison of the commander of the guard is the bloodiest and darkest place, where the most filthy things in people's hearts breed. The people who were tortured inside were the little ghosts beside the King of Hell, whose body exuded filth and blood, which could be smelled from far away. The torture here is only unexpected, not impossible.
After entering the prison, a strong blood surged, Zhao Jin walked inside as usual, stopped in front of a cell, and looked at the man tied to the cross.
When the jailer saw him, he hurriedly bowed, "I have seen the commander."
The cell was full of disgusting smells, and the bloody smell was mixed with other special smells. Zhao Jin walked slowly to the prefect of Lin, smiling gently, "Prefect of Lin?"
In fact, Lin Fuyao had lost consciousness. He couldn't answer even if he heard Zhao Jin's voice, not to mention that he didn't want to talk to Commander Wei at all.
"Lin Zhifu, your son is still waiting for you to save him. Are you willing to let him stay in prison for the rest of his life?"
Lin Fuyao still didn't say a word.
Zhao Jin instructed Luo Zhen, "Invite the doctor to come and treat the prefect of Lin. In addition, prepare a room for the prefect of Lin and serve him well."
Luo Zhen was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand what Zhao Jin's intention was, he still obeyed the order and let someone free Lin Fuyao from the cross.
Lin Fuyao's body was full of blood. The two commanders held him up, and the blood immediately penetrated into their robes.
"Lord Commander, what's your purpose in doing this?"
Zhao Jin left the prison and said to Luo Zhen, "You have been with me for so many years, if you don't understand, just figure it out for yourself."
After finishing the official business, Zhao Jin returned to the mansion, took off his official uniform and put on light clothes, "A Xu, can you go out today?"
Zhao Xu looked disgusted, "Someone sent me a post to invite me, but I don't want to go. You also know that I'm too lazy to watch them pretending over there, and they have nothing but men in their eyes, what's the point? I might as well practice martial arts at home."
Zhao Jin laughed, "But the ladies in the capital still look at them like that, so tell me, who would dare to marry you?"
Zhao Xu was dissatisfied, "Why do you want me to marry? Is it okay to be married?"
Zhao Jin sighed, "Okay, you can say whatever you want, as long as someone is willing to join the wedlock." After he finished speaking, he thought about it, and it would be a good idea to join the wedlock, but, "Men who are willing to join the wedlock are also unreliable, right?"
Zhao Xu was surprised, "Can I be dependable?"
Zhao Jin was stunned, and then said, "You are right."
"Brother, Kyoto is really boring. It's not as fun as Tangjiacun. You can tell me that the little girls in this Kyoto are as good as Xiaoya, and Xiaoya is cute."
"It's not that I won't let you go back. You also understand the current situation. I really don't worry about your safety on the road."
Zhao Xu said with a bitter face, "Brother, I understand, even though we were ambushed several times on our way back to the capital, if they couldn't kill you, they would naturally take anger at me."
"Axu, wait a minute, things will end one day." Zhao Jin came to the golden belt in the courtyard, reached out and touched it, "There will always be that day."
Nanfeng County.
Since the Tang family threw out a stack of land deeds and stunned the Tang family, the Tang family came back to their senses, and they felt more confident in their hearts.
After discussing with Father Tang, Big Brother Tang, and Second Brother Tang, Tang Shi planned to rent 50 acres of land to others for planting.
Big brother Tang and second brother Tang were not expected to do business, and they never thought about doing business, so they didn't know what to do for a while.
Tang Shi saw that the two were at a loss, and couldn't help saying: "Big brother, second brother, aren't you going to start planting beans at the end of this month? Would you like to go to the market to see the seeds?" Now that there are more land, and there are not enough beans, it must be re-purchased.
"Yes! Yes! Let's go take a look." Tang Nian and Tang Ji nodded again and again, with joy on their faces, they finally had something to do.
"Bring some peach cakes when you come back, Xiao Song likes to eat them." Tang Shi asked behind them, and the two responded all the way.
Tang Shi was about to turn around and go back to the house when he heard Hong Zhong calling him.
"Brother Hong?" He took Hong Zhong back to his yard.
Hong Zhong handed the letter in his hand to him, "Young master has written a letter again. Also, the flowers in the back hill of Tangjia Village are almost sold out. Brother Geng asked me if I still have any. There are too many people who want to buy flowers."
Tang Shi took the letter, "Just tell him that it's gone for now and wait until September." He thought about it, "Also, we don't need to sell as many as possible now, what we need is word of mouth, and in September Isn't there another flower viewing party?"
Hong Jong understood.
"Little Master, this is the money for selling flowers. I'll exchange it for a bank note and put it here." He took out a small box and handed it to Tang Shi.
Tang Shi took it and put it on the table, "No one left the calligraphy?"
Hong Zhong smiled, "There are, but not many, they are all kept at Brother Geng's place. This is always to give them face and show them for a few days before bringing them over for you to look at. There is also a picture of Mr. Zheng's."
Tang Shi frowned slightly, "Which pot did Mr. Zheng like?"
"It's that pot of Jianlan."
Tang Shi nodded, "Brother Hong, did you go to Yaxing to see someone?"
Hong Zhong shook his head, "I'm planning to go, does the young master have another request?"
Tang Shi thought about it and said, "Wait, I'll go with you after lunch."
"Okay. Then I'll go back first."
Tang Shi opened the letter after Hong Zhong left, and the letter wrote some trivial matters and some nasty words, but even so, Tang Shi read it with relish.
After reading it several times, he carefully placed the letter in a box with the previous one, and then began to write a reply.
After resting for a while after lunch, Tang Shi changed into the coarse linen he had worn in the countryside before and went out to find Hong Zhong.
Hong Zhong was helpless when he saw him dressed like this, "Little Young Master, why are you dressed like this?"
Tang Shi was eating the peach cake brought back by Tang Ji in the Tang year, and said, "You are buying people. I am just a servant at best. What can I wear?"
Hong Zhong nodded, okay, since the young master just went to see and did not speak, he went with the young master.
People in Yaxing also look at people. The slaves to be sold are divided into three, six and nine classes. If the buyer is poorly dressed, they will not introduce good slaves.
After the two arrived at Yaxing, Yaren quickly smiled when he saw Hong Zhong's imposing manner, "Just tell me if this gentleman needs anything."
"Buy people."
The tooth man laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, "Does the master have any preferences or requirements?"
"Young and smart."
"How many people do you want? Do you need a man or a woman?"
"It's half male and half, about ten people." Hong Zhong said in a thick voice.
This is quite a deal! The smile on Yaren's face was even brighter. He quickly reached out and invited Hong Zhong to choose. Hong Zhong followed him majestically. Tang Shi lowered his head slightly and followed behind Hong Zhong. The Yaren didn't notice him at all.
The three walked to a yard, where a row of people stood there with their heads bowed, as if they were waiting for the arrangement of fate.
Tang Shi looked around quickly, then lowered his head again.
"Master, take a look at what you like, these are all trained, and some of them have done things for the nobles before, and the work of serving people is very easy, keep your comfortable ."
"What kind of skills do you have?"
Tooth man pointed at them, his tone was a little harsh, "Master is asking questions, come one by one, and talk about what he is best at."
"The villain can make tofu."
"The villain will spread biscuits."
"The villain can… can hunt."
"The villain can swim, and he can swim really well."
"The villain was the accountant."
"The little guy can't do anything."
…
Talking all the way down, it is really full of tricks. Tang Shi observed a few people and made gestures towards Hong Zhong.
Hong Zhong realized what he meant, and directly stretched out his finger and said, "He, he, she, she,..." He said eight people in a row, "Just them."
The tooth man smiled like a flower, "Okay! Master wait a moment, I will bring their sales deed and calculate the price by the way."
After a while, Yaren trotted back, grabbed the eight deeds of betrayal in his hand, and panted, "This master, one man is six taels, and one woman five taels, a total of forty-six taels, you Do you want to pay now?"
Hong Zhong took out a small bag of silver, "It's exactly forty-six taels, no need to look for it."
Yaren hurriedly took it over, and then handed the deed of prostitution to Hong Zhong, "Master, keep these away. Welcome back."
Hong Zhong took away the deed of prostitution and said to the eight people, "Come with me."
The eight people all followed behind Hong Zhong with their heads lowered, their expressions slightly excited, but they did not dare to say a word.
Hong Zhong led the eight people on a lively street market, Tang Shi fell behind them, looked left and right leisurely, and saw a stall with a candy man, so he planned to buy some for Tang Song and the others. eat.
"Little son, buy a root and try it, it's very sweet." The stall owner, an old man, said to Tang Shi while blowing.
Tang Shi asked, "How much is one?"
"Two pennies."
Tang Shi counted ten copper plates and handed them to him, "I want to take five." He picked out different shapes of candy figures, held four in his hand, and ate the remaining one by himself.
As he walked and licked, an acquaintance suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Isn't that Tang Yue? Who is that woman beside her
