Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 766 Mixing in

Zhu Di and Zhu Xi still opposed Zhu Su's personal involvement in danger. However, Zhu Su had made up his mind, and the two of them could not say anything more.

Just to protect Zhu Su Zhouquan, Zhu Xi asked Zhuang Ergou, a local snake, to act with Zhu Su. Zhu Di was going to prepare troops and horses. If Zhu Su encountered any danger, he would take action first regardless of the situation. Let’s wait until this person comes to market.

Zhu Su moved very quickly. In the afternoon of that day, under the leadership of Zhuang Ergou, he arrived at the human market of Yingtian Mansion.

It is said to be a human market, but in fact, it looks like a rather elegant three-entry courtyard. There are even a few clusters of begonias planted at the entrance of the courtyard, which is quite stylish and elegant. There were two sturdy young men in small hats standing at the door. Seeing Zhu Su dressed as a rich man, he wanted to barge in. One of the young men immediately stopped him and said with a smile: "This Sir, I'm sorry to disturb your interest, but this is not a place where strangers can enter and leave. If you want to come in, please show me the invitation from your introducer."

"Invitation?" Zhu Su was stunned and looked quite curious. It is true that he has never been to the human market, but he didn't know that there were such careful rules. Seeing that he was stopped politely, Zhuang Ergou, who came with him behind him, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, bent down and said with a smile: "Brother Li Wu, hello, do you still know me? This young master is a junior. When I came to Yingtian, I just wanted to buy a few domestic slaves to serve my surroundings. I was bold enough to bring him here, but I didn’t have any recommenders..."

"Huh?" The boy looked at the familiar face of Zhuang Ergou. After studying it for a long time, he finally remembered his character. "Oh, it turns out to be Brother Zhuang who is begging for food in the east of the city."

"Brother Zhuang, didn't he always make a living in the east of the city? How did he meet this young master? Is there some connection?"

In addition to begging, Zhuang Ergou also occasionally went to the market to do menial tasks such as running errands, so the gatekeeper had some impression of him. They were accustomed to being disciples of various religions and knew how to speak in a pleasing manner, so they did not show any contempt for Zhuang Ergou, who was originally a beggar next to Zhu Su. But the temptation in his words could not be concealed no matter what.

"No, no, no, no, no, villains must not climb high!" Hearing this, Zhuang Ergou waved his hands repeatedly. He first glanced at Zhu Su with a "fearful" expression on his face. Seeing that Zhu Su did not show any anger, he turned to look at "Li "Fifth Brother" said: "Young men don't dare to compare with this young master. This young master is a nobleman of the Fei family of Pingliang Hou."

"The Marquis of Pingliang has made great military exploits in the west. When he returns to Beijing this time, I think he will be granted the title of Duke. Therefore, the cousin of the Marquis of Pingliang, who is originally in Zhongdu, came to Beijing specially. I was waiting to congratulate my elders. I will not leave this time to congratulate you. I want to take root at the feet of the emperor. The younger one just happened to beg at his house. The master favored me and asked me where I could buy slaves. The younger one became too talkative. After a few words, I recommended this man to Brother Li Wu..."

Zhuang Ergou bowed and explained Zhu Su's "origin" clearly like beans poured out of a bamboo tube. That Brother Li Wu is a man. After hearing this, he naturally understood that this "noble young master" was a distant relative of Pingliang Hou Fei Ju. He heard that his relative was going to be prosperous this time, so he wanted to stay in the capital to "fight the autumn breeze". ".

In the past few years, many people in the court have had their ups and downs, and there are quite a few such people. Zhu Su also showed a bit of the unruly look of a playboy, and Li Wu Ge was no longer suspicious, but in his eyes It showed a bit of disdain.

It turns out that he is a country bumpkin from out of town. You must know that this is the capital. Not to mention that Lord Fei is not the Duke of the country yet. Even if he becomes the Duke of the country, throwing a brick here can knock down many royal relatives. It’s just a country. The father-in-law's relatives also have to behave with their tail between their legs.

But the name of Pingliang Marquis Mansion was not something he could afford. I heard that the Marquis of Pingliang, following His Highness the Fourth and His Highness the Fifth, had just wiped out a foreign country with two brushes in the west of the Far West. At this time, not to mention his fierce power, let alone the two people who were friendly with him. His Highness is now a popular person in both the government and the public, and is a person that even His Majesty values ​​​​very much. Moreover, Fei Houye himself was from the Huaixi lineage, and he was related to many martial generals. If Mr. Fei is offended because of provoking this person, Mr. Fei will never be able to afford it even if he moves his fingers a little.

Therefore, Brother Li Wu rolled his eyes and immediately made a decision. He decisively put on a more friendly smile, and said with a flattering smile: "It turns out that he is the young master of the Pingliang Hou family. Please forgive me for being blind. The young master first entered the capital, and when his reputation spread, the younger ones will naturally Got it." "You want to buy some slaves to serve in the mansion? It's okay, please, please! You should be careful about the threshold. The second you enter, you will be inside."

The market adopts an invitation-only system to prevent idlers and some low-income libertines from entering the market to cheat even though they cannot afford anyone. However, rules are dead and people are alive. It is not worth risking offending the Pingliang Marquis Mansion for a dead rule. That Zhuang Ergou looked familiar, so he didn't dare to deceive the people on his side.

Seeing that this guy let him go decisively, Zhu Su breathed a sigh of relief. I had predicted before that when the market opened for business, even if there was a threshold, it would not be too high. Sure enough, I passed this level easily.

After all, although this business is not popular, it has always been a business that the people do not engage in and officials do not investigate. The imperial court also had a Jiaofang Division used to sell the children of prisoners.

After Brother Li Wu was released, he entered the courtyard grandly. Zhuang Ergou bent down and said to Zhu Su: "Master, this is what the market looks like. The first people who entered the courtyard were mostly buying some of the things that big merchants usually buy. The maids and servants used in other houses, naturally those lower-class people will not be in this courtyard. You go into the house to drink tea, and the shopkeeper of the local market asked your needs and brought a picture album in front of you. Come and choose for you.”

"If you choose, they will send the person to your house from the almshouse outside the city. If you are not satisfied with it in person, there is still a chance to return it or exchange it."

"The second step is to purchase some Tatars, Japanese slaves and the like who do menial work. There is not much difference between the left and right of these people. How many are needed? After ordering, someone will send them to your house to hand over to you."

"You can return it if you want, but it's not necessary. If you want to find someone to raise cattle and horses, then all of these Tatars who used to follow Yuan Ni and bring disaster to the Central Plains are good hands, but most of them are unruly. If If you want to farm, although the Japanese slaves are not as good as us Ming people, and the Japanese Japanese pirates are also fierce, those farmers who took the initiative to come to the Ming Dynasty from Japan to seek a living are more or less suitable. Just don't buy those Koreans, those people are afraid of bullying, He cheats and cheats, and he's easy to talk nonsense..."

Zhuang Ergou led Zhu Su away, while deliberately speaking loudly to Zhu Su about the secrets of this market. It was really like leading a young man who was ignorant of the world.

Brother Li Wu, who was still worried about them behind him, heard these words and finally gave up his suspicion completely. He turned back to the door and continued to screen customers.

Zhu Su saw this with his peripheral vision, and a faint smile flashed across his lips as if his plan had succeeded.
