The host of the quick travel is lacking in virtue for eight generations

As soon as Li Zhong left, the waiter came back, followed by a man who was older than Li Zhong. He had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked a little fierce, especially when he was not smiling. But when he smiled, he gave people a very sincere feeling.

"Mrs. Gu, I've heard a lot about you. My name is Fang Jiu, and I'm the agent in charge of population."

"Agent Fang."

"Madam, you are too polite. You can just call me Fang Jiu. I wonder if you want to recruit or buy someone?"

"I want to buy a few servants with death bonds. If there are any with special skills, living bonds are also acceptable."

"There is a batch of them for sale recently, but they have not been trained yet. You need to train them again if you buy them back."

"It doesn't matter. As long as the person is smart and loyal, there will be someone in the mansion to take him there."

"Then please follow me, ma'am. They are all in the backyard. Take a look first. If you find one that you like, I will tell you in detail about their backgrounds."

"Okay, please lead the way."

"please."

As they talked, they walked towards the backyard.

There are two doors in the lobby of the dental clinic, a side door and a back door. I don’t know where the side door leads to, but the back door leads to the backyard.

The backyard is very big, like a courtyard house, with houses on all four sides. The rooms are not big. The ones on the two sides are slightly more exquisite, probably for the brokers to rest. The one with the door open in the back row has a large bunk bed, probably for those who sell their bodies to live in.

There are two ways to sell yourself at this time. One is to sell yourself directly to someone else, and then go to the brokerage office to register and complete the contract. Only with a government-issued and approved contract of sale can a buyer-seller relationship or a master-servant relationship be established and protected by law.

The second is to go to a property brokerage, which is equivalent to selling it to the property brokerage first. The property brokerage will also give you pre-job training and will only sign the contract for you after finding a buyer.

If people are bought and sold privately without a contract, it is illegal and both the buyer and the seller will be held accountable.

Of course, the law is formulated in this way, but there are still many loopholes in its actual implementation.

Fang Jiu asked Xiao Yun to wait for a moment. He went to the two rooms and called out a total of twenty people. It seemed that this room could accommodate ten people.

There were twenty people, half of them were men and half were women, most of them were in their teens or twenties, all of them were in their prime, but there were no elderly or children.

Xiao Yun carefully looked at the twenty people in front of her. She swept her eyes over their faces one by one, pointed out six of them and said, "Let's just take these few. Can they all sign the death contract?"

Fang Jiu was a little surprised that she could choose people so quickly, but he immediately replied: "These people can all sign death contracts. The six people you chose all have no relatives at home..."

He paused here and was a little surprised again. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or if Mrs. Gu was good at fortune-telling and only chose those who had no family burden.

Xiao Yun smiled with satisfaction in her eyes. She had deliberately chosen those who had no family members, so that they would not have so many weaknesses that could be exploited by others and would be able to work for her wholeheartedly.

When a new batch of living indentures came over, Xiao Yun's eyes suddenly stopped on a girl with lively eyes.

Although the girl was dressed simply, she was clever and had a blessed look.

Fang Jiu saw this and said hurriedly, "Madam, you have a good eye. This girl is called Zhang Xiaotao. She is good at needlework and embroidery. She was originally an apprentice in an embroidery workshop, but had to sell herself due to family changes. Although she is a living indenture, she has superb skills and will definitely not disappoint Madam."

Xiao Yun nodded slightly. Then she looked at a sturdy boy who stood straight with a firm look in his eyes. "This boy is called Liu Hu. He is very strong and used to work in the grain store. He is hardworking and diligent. The grain store changed its owner some time ago, so he is looking for a new owner." Fang Jiu added.

Xiao Yun had already made up his mind, and said, "Zhang Xiaotao and Liu Hu will stay. Are there any of the others who are good at cooking or taking care of the garden?"

Fang Jiu recommended a few more people. Just when Xiao Yun was about to finalize the candidates, he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Then, the waiter came in with a few officers.

Before the waiter could explain, the leading officer asked, "Which one is Zhang Xiaotao?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at a girl standing next to Xiao Yun, he waved his hand and said, "Take her away!"

"Wait! I don't know why you officers arrested her. This girl has already signed a contract with the pawnbroker." Fang Jiu spoke out to stop them.

The official did not keep silent, after all, he was half a colleague, and explained: "Yesterday, the family of Mr. Guo from Dongcheng Embroidery Shop was poisoned to death. People who refused to work in his house said that Zhang Xiaotao's sister was forced to be his concubine and beaten to death by him after drinking. It is possible that she was avenging her sister.

We found out that she left the Guo Family Embroidery Shop three days ago. If she didn't want to do something, how could she suddenly quit the job the day before the Guo family members died?"

Xiao Yun frowned and looked at Zhang Xiaotao.

Zhang Xiaotao was horrified and quickly explained, "Madam, I am innocent! I do hate Boss Guo, but I never poisoned him. I quit because I couldn't stand the atmosphere there and wanted to find another way to make a living."

Xiao Yun stared at her for a while, then said to Fang Jiu, "Manager Fang, I believe Zhang Xiaotao is innocent. I want this child. Don't worry. If anything happens, I will take care of it."

Fang Jiu looked hesitant, after all, it involved a murder case.

Xiao Yun turned to the officer and took out a sign and handed it to him. The officer looked at it and his face suddenly changed, and he quickly saluted.

Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. I don't want to embarrass you. It is too hasty to arrest someone based on this speculation.

I will take the person back to the Duwei Mansion first, and you can go and investigate first. If you have definite evidence, come to me to ask for the person, and I will never stop you. "

After weighing the pros and cons, the officer agreed, as he really didn't want to offend the Duwei Mansion.

Originally, the adults wanted them to take the person back for interrogation. In case they couldn't find the murderer, they would use this little girl as a substitute. It's not like they haven't used torture to get a confession out of someone.

Unexpectedly, this girl was so lucky that she managed to get into the Duwei Mansion, which allowed her to escape the disaster.

Later, Xiao Yun paid the silver, took a stack of contracts and led everyone back to the mansion.

She asked the housekeeper to arrange for other people, and she kept Zhang Xiaotao by her side and asked her to teach Mingyue and Mingxing needlework.

Zhang Xiaotao fell to her knees with a plop, and said to Xiao Yun with gratitude: "Madam, I will never forget your kindness. Madam, please rest assured that I am not a murderer, nor am I ungrateful. I am willing to sign a death contract with you and repay you in the future."

Xiao Yun reached out and helped her up, saying softly, "You don't have to do this. I just can't bear to see you, at such a young age, get hurt. You can teach my two daughters embroidery in the future. I don't ask them to be very good at it, they just need to be able to embroider their own wedding dresses."

In fact, she had another reason to save Zhang Xiaotao. Judging from the girl's appearance, her background might not be that simple...
