☆·53 My wonderful idea.
When I said indifferently that I would buy a few servants to do manual work, the face of the manager obviously collapsed.
After all, the handyman who does hard work and the delicate and lovely little maid are not at the same level at all, and the commission they can get is also in two dimensions.
The person in charge pointed out a few little girls to me, and said that they were all about the same age as me, and after buying them back, they would know how good the soft little girls are.In the conversation, this person also carried some colorful hints, winking and winking, which is really weird.
I refused indifferently, not being tempted by the management at all.
Every day, I was fooled into buying things by a top talent like Wang Xifu, and this manager wanted me to buy some impractical things with a few words...
too young.
Seeing that I was unmoved, the person in charge probably scolded me as an iron cock in his heart, and then said that he had a lot of things to do and was very busy, and he also found a young apprentice to take me shopping.
At the age of [-] or [-], the junior apprentice was pushed out by the manager without any stage fright, saying that his name was Li Ao, and then politely offered me a price.A strong labor handyman in the old days would have one tael and three silver coins, a life-long contract, and all the slave documents. If you add ten cents, the dental bank will cover the entire transfer process.
I nodded with satisfaction, and picked a few that looked okay.
Wang Xili paid the money without hesitation, and I watched from the side, and came back from a stroll, and asked Li Ao, the price of the little maid.
"Five taels for girls under ten years old, 15 taels for girls aged ten to 20, and 15 taels for those aged 20 to [-]." Li Ao quoted the price according to the rules, and pointed to the maids who were waiting to be selected among a bunch of people. I was dumbfounded when I heard the price.
"The price difference is so much." I thought about the little palace people in the bedroom, and suddenly felt that my wealth level had risen.Oh, this is the value of fixed assets has gone up.
"My daughter's family needs to be well-raised. If you sell it in different places, the requirements will naturally be different. Mr. Meng, what you want to buy is ordinary labor, which is the cheapest. If you want to learn some martial arts, or read and write, the price will naturally be different. .”
In Li Ao's words, one can hear the coldness, presumably because he faces such transactions every day, his temperament is different from that of ordinary teenagers.
As I was thinking this way, a woman suddenly broke into the dental office, crying while dragging the steward who said she was busy just now.
Wang Xifu looked at the woman who came in suddenly, and quickly took a few steps back to protect me.
"Young master, be careful."
I followed Wang Xifu back, but I couldn't help but listen to what this woman said.
"...Where did you sell my daughter-in-law! It was clearly agreed that she was just going to work, why did I go to the owner's house to look for it, but he said that there is no such thing as my daughter-in-law!" The woman looked about 40 years old, but she had a silvery hair early on. , the hard-working hands are pulling on the clothes in charge, which is very eye-catching.
The manager raised his hand in disdain, and immediately a few dental thugs pulled her away. Seeing that the woman was still making trouble, the manager's face remained unchanged, and she was gagged indifferently.
"Your daughter was sold to Zheng Yuanwai as a concubine, but she didn't abide by women's morals and stole others. She was handed over to the government last year and died in prison. Why should she care about important people?" The woman was dragged out, and then screams came from outside.
There is no lack of voices of people watching and discussing.
The manager found that I was looking at him, and gave me a fierce look: "If you have no skills, don't meddle in your own business."
After finishing speaking, the person in charge did not stay in the lobby, but went into the dental office and disappeared.
I looked away from the manager, and found that Li Ao was still writing the business documents for me seriously, and was not affected by the sudden incident just now.
I thought this person was quite interesting, so I suddenly asked him: "Does this kind of thing happen often?"
Li Ao's subordinates continued to use their pens, gently persuading: "If you are just passing by, it's better not to meddle in too much business."
After finishing speaking, Li Ao's document was also written, and I handed it to me for a look, and I signed it under a pseudonym, Meng Xiaowu.This name is the name on the road plate that Concubine Meng Gui gave me. Although I can understand that Concubine Meng Gui may be named invalid, I am also very convinced by the name Meng Xiaowu.
Li Ao looked at the name, then at Zhen, but said nothing.He said that he had to go to the government office to get a stamp, and asked if he wanted to go and see it together. If it was too troublesome, he could wait here.Speaking of which, Li Ao pointed me to the private room next to the dental store, and said that I can have some refreshments in it. He often goes to the government office, and he is very familiar with this matter, and he will be back soon.
I shook my head and said, "I've never seen this kind of business, I want to see it."
Seeing that I wanted to go, Li Ao didn't stop me, saying that since we are going together, we can bring the few people we just bought with us, and we don't have to come back when we turn around.
After that, I followed Li Ao to the place where the government office was doing business. The people in the dental shop were familiar with Li Ao, and it took almost no effort to complete the official archives.Holding the freshly released deed of prostitution, I looked at the strong laborers who followed me out of the tooth shop, and suddenly felt a lot more relieved. These people should really not know my identity, and they can also do things for me.
I suddenly felt that I got a new way of training manpower.I'm so rich, why don't I buy some people to do things for me?Why do I keep thinking about how to win over others?
Such a simple question, I just figured it out today.
Immediately, I wanted to go to the dental store to buy a few more people. When the number increased, I could always have malleable talents by picking and choosing.
I feel that the future is bright, and I am in a good mood to reward Li Ao with a few pieces of silver.
Li Ao collected the money, and heard that I still wanted to buy people, but he whispered to me: "The dental shops buy at high prices. If Mr. Meng still wants to buy more people, why don't you go to Zhengtaiyuan to have a look."
I was taken aback when I heard this, what direction is this going?
Li Ao didn't find out what I was slandering, so he introduced the situation of Zhengtaiyuan to me in a low voice, and after receiving the reward from Wang Xifu, my minister, he left with satisfaction.
Standing near the government office, I took the nine newly bought people, and first found a teahouse to sit and digest what happened just now.
According to Li Ao, Zhengtaiyuan is the most populous black market in several nearby towns, and the owner is said to be surnamed Tang. This Tang boss has some relationship with the county lord, but Li Ao doesn't know exactly what it is.
But Mr. Tang is loyal in business, he is fair and honest, so the business is very good.
While sitting in the teahouse, Wang Xifu gave me a drug test, and then carefully said to me: "My lord, how do we arrange these people? Shall we go to Zhengtaiyuan to have a look?"
population black market.
Although the feudal society allowed the trading of human beings, the black market of human beings was indeed expressly prohibited.After all, voluntarily selling one's own labor force in exchange for silver and becoming a slave, these are probably choices that have to be made in order to survive.
But [-]% of the human trafficking in the black market involves trafficking...
In modern terms, human trafficking is the forcible separation of laborers from the means of production. In feudal society, it was an act that seriously hindered production activities.
I have always known that the feudal society is not a good place for singing and dancing, but I always feel that Daqi is different. Daqi has developed commerce and trade and strong national power.In the nearly seven years since I ascended the throne, there have been basically no major catastrophes. Although I want to do something in the court, I will be subject to factional struggles, but it takes a little effort and I can always do it well.
I have always thought that although the people of Daqi are not as good as modern people, at least they have enough to eat.
Now Li Ao can tell me so easily that there is a black market in their town, and the boss who buys and sells people is very honest... This means that at least in this Mingxi Town, black market transactions are not a big secret, it is a very common one matter.
The problem in Jiangnan is probably much more serious than I imagined.
The county master in Li Ao's mouth, I recalled the official information I read all the way to Jiangnan. The superior unit of Mingxi Town is Liu County, and the county magistrate of Liu County seems to be called Zheng Mingjia.This Zheng Mingjia has been the county magistrate in Liu County for four or five years, and his evaluation results seem to be good, but he has not been promoted.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this reason.
Wang Xifu saw that my complexion was not good, and I didn't dare to speak very much. I took a sip of tea and put down the cup, still a little angry, and asked Wang Xifu to call the nine people outside into the private room.
Looking at these servants who were just bought and still nervous, I slowed down my voice, trying to make my voice sound gentle: "What are you all called, and where are you from?"
I looked at the document in my hand. The document did not mention the names of these people, but their hometowns were very uniformly written as Daxiao Village, Mingxi Town, Liuxian County.
I didn't think it before, but now it seems that it's all fake.When I selected people, I deliberately selected young people in their twenties. If they were from a village of the same age, how could they behave so strangely to others.
This is a document that has passed Fuyaming Road.
"Tell the truth." Hearing them faltering about Daxiao Village, I got angry.
My anger was probably felt by them, and one of them bravely told me the truth.Said that he was originally from the nearby Fu County, but because of the flood in Fu County and his family lost two months ago, he was abducted to Liu County.
After hearing this, I nodded and continued to ask other people.
The result was that each of the nine people was abducted at different times. The first person from Fu County who spoke was lucky. He was only abducted once, and he was obedient, so he was sent to a tooth shop for serious business.
The miserable ones were abducted for six or seven years, and transferred to several owners, but they were relatively old when they were abducted, and they still remembered their ancestral home.One of them doesn't remember when he was abducted at all, probably when he was a baby, and he doesn't remember the others.
I could hear the nerves on my forehead twitching. Those who passed the official road, Da Qi's serious teeth, I bought nine people at random, all of them were kidnapped!
The teacup on the table didn't hold on, and I fell directly to the ground with a slap, and the voice in the private room stopped immediately.Xiaoer outside the door heard the movement, and wanted to come in to have a look, but Wang Xifu gave him some money and sent it away.
In fact, I might as well have been abducted.
It's just that I run faster.
Listening to their abduction experience, I couldn't help but ask them: "Do you know about Zhengtaiyuan?"
The person who had a lot of abduction experience thought for a while and said: "I stayed in it for a while before, and people came and went every day. Except for the buyers on the surface, Zheng Taiyuan also turned around every day. It is said that Zheng Taiyuan is behind the scenes There is a mine." At this point, he paused, and smiled embarrassedly: "I happened to be sick at that time, so I was not favored by others. Zheng Taiyuan disliked my trouble, so he sold it to a dental firm."
After listening to what they said, I didn't ask any more questions.
Thinking about how much these abducted people could know, they led them to the place where they stayed, and saw that I finally brought back the workers, and the little eunuch who was brought out of the palace was overjoyed, and happily brought them back. These people directed around.
Oh, Wang Xifu is in charge of things like gold, silver, and silk, and there are also hidden guards watching over them, so I don't need to worry about them at all.
I originally wanted to settle here temporarily, and go to Jin County after buying someone, but now, I don't want to go there so soon.
After poking around in the house for a long time, I asked Wang Xifu to change me into ordinary clothes, no silk, embroidery or gold.This request stumped Wang Xifu, so he searched for a long time to find a dress that met my requirements, and after changing it for me, Wang Xifu boasted with a smile: "Young master, you really look good in everything you wear."
I looked in the mirror and thought it was not bad, then I asked Wang Xifu: "If you look like this, do those kidnappers have the guts to kidnap me?"
Wang Xifu: "?!!!"
Looking at Wang Xifu who is gradually petrified, I patted him on the shoulder and introduced to him the plot I thought about along the way.
Meng Xiaowu, the son of a rich family, came to Mingxi Town to look for relatives, but Wang Damingming, the servant, saw the money and robbed Meng Xiaowu's money with other servants, and then fled without a trace.
Meng Xiaowu was forced to live on the street and wandered to the gate of Zhengtaiyuan. After all, Meng Xiaowu was good-looking, and the kidnapper couldn't help seeing Lie Xinxi when he saw it, and knocked Meng Xiaowu into a coma...
Wang Xifu was so frightened by my story that he knelt on the ground and swore: "This slave is loyal to the emperor, the world can learn from it, and the sun and the moon can show it. If there is such a thought of carrying money, the slave will have no treasure in this life." Bury together, and be a rootless thing in the next life."
Wang Xifu's movements were so proficient and smooth, I didn't realize it for a while and pulled him up.As a result, Wang Xifu burst into tears after finishing speaking, just like the infatuated girl who was abandoned by a heartless man.
I was frightened by my brain supply, I shook my head, trying to get Wang Xifu up, but the old eunuch couldn't get up.
I breathed a sigh of relief, called Qi Feng out, and pulled him up.
"When did I question your loyalty? Even when you gave me medicine last time, I didn't bother with you."
Hearing what I said, Wang Xifu's face suddenly eased up, and then he said to me: "Isn't this my servant, I was frightened. Last time, the daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Rites gave too much money."
I:"……"
Loyalty is really a matter of price, heh, indifference.jpg.
Wang Xifu looked at me innocently, and then asked: "The emperor's idea is too dangerous, you shouldn't put yourself in danger."
Qi Feng next to him also nodded, expressing his approval: "It is indeed a bit dangerous. Didn't you just say, Your Majesty, that you don't need to do everything yourself?"
Oh, I was educated by Qi Feng.
Before Mingming came to Jiangnan, I told Qi Feng that everything is done by myself, not the behavior of the emperor.However, Qi Feng can't stop what I plan to do. Even if I "vomit", as long as I insist, Qi Feng will soon turn against me.
Because I said: "Don't let me be abducted, don't you two look easy to be abducted?"
This said.
Qi Feng's martial arts are very strong, as a martial artist, the possibility of being targeted by kidnappers is small. If he can take a fancy to Qi Feng and then kidnap him, he will sweat for that person first.Oh, speaking of it, Murong Xin could be regarded as "abducting" Qi Feng and leaving, but in the end it failed.
Besides, Wang Xifu and the other eunuch, they are mainly missing a part. If they are abducted people, regardless of whether they have the ability to attract abductees, if they are really abducted, it is likely that their identities will be exposed because of this matter. , fall short.
So I'm really the only one who might be kidnapped.
But Wang Xifu was still trying to stop him, and in the end he couldn't stand it any longer. He said, "Before leaving the palace, the empress dowager said that if your majesty has any problems on the way to the south of the Yangtze River, you will have to find the servants to settle the score."
Zhen: "Then you disobey my will now, and I can deal with you now."
There was despair in Wang Xifu's eyes.
I seem to be able to understand his thoughts, "Hiding the first day of the junior high school or hiding the fifteenth day", "Can the monk run away from the temple if he can escape".
Then, under my insistence, the script continued as it was.I was living on the street, starved for two days, and finally attracted the attention of beggars...
As for starvation, I'm a skilled worker, so it's not a big problem, but why didn't I get kidnapped as I wished?
I:"?"
Is my beauty not enough to attract the kidnapper's attention?Concubine Meng, who dotes on the harem, has your beauty been abandoned by the times?Kidnappers and human traffickers, won't they attack me?
Thinking so, I ate the hot steamed buns sent by the beggar as a gesture of gratitude.
The old beggar smiled kindly. After eating the steamed buns, it didn't take long before my eyes went dark and I passed out.
I:"……"
I am still too young, the world is so complicated.
But do I count as asking for benevolence?Anyway, when I woke up, I heard the old beggar and someone bargaining outside the ruined temple in a daze——
"Twelve."
"Ten taels is too high, five taels at most."
"Eight taels! Look at that appearance, how handsome it is."
"Six taels, really can't be more."
"Qiliang! I saw this young master when he came to the town before. The young master who defected to his relatives has fallen into trouble. There are definitely people who like it. The market is good."
"All right, all right, you old beggar, you are the most cunning."
I moved my body, trying to wipe off the black cloth from my eyes to look at the surrounding environment, but at this moment Qi Feng suddenly said, "I will guard Your Majesty."
Of course I knew that Qi Feng would be there, that's why I had the guts to make such a fuss.But hearing his voice, I still felt quite at ease. After all, I just wanted to check the trafficking line, and didn't want to be really kidnapped.
Moreover, the emperor of my state is only worth seven taels of silver!
It's embarrassing to say it.
Oh, by the way, no one can tell about this!
From the old beggar to the human trafficker, I passed it several times, and it was a toss all the way.Probably because I was afraid that I would run away, and everyone would not forget to drug me. I was very speechless about this, and I really wanted to tell them directly that I would not run away. I wanted to see how your entire transaction chain is going. something!
In fact, it is not suitable to say it.These people kept trading, and in just half a month, my net worth went from seven taels to 70 taels.
These middlemen make the difference, and they are heartless.
The place where I lived was a dilapidated temple from a young age to a dilapidated cage. I heard from the food delivery person that there will be a big auction tonight, and my final buyer will be determined.On the surface, I didn't care about it, but I breathed a sigh of relief. After tonight, I will close the net.
Such a tossing life is really not suitable for me. I will investigate the corruption of officials in Jiangnan, and I will never do this kind of thing!High bed and soft pillow, isn’t the delicacies of mountains and seas delicious?
I will miss Wang Xifu.
Qi Feng's secret guards tracked the traffickers in the transaction one by one, and basically found out all the kidnappers in several towns near Liu County.
In addition to the officials who colluded with the kidnappers as I expected, there are even some windfalls.
The hidden guards followed one of the traffickers to Fu County next door, and found a mine in Fu County.The trafficker brought a large number of people in, and the inside was strictly checked. At that time, only one hidden guard passed by, and he didn't dare to investigate deeply. The situation inside was not very clear.
But it is true that this mine has not been reported to the imperial court.
I was thinking about what to do after I went out, but the auction time came soon.
Qi Feng asked me: "Do you want to spend money to buy His Majesty back?"
I was a little speechless: "What do you spend that money on, don't care who bought it, just remember to save me."
Qi Feng was puzzled: "Anyway, we are going to seal up this auction house in the end, and the money will come back."
What Qi Feng said was so reasonable, I didn't even know how to refute him for a while.However, Qi Feng quickly found the correct way to open it: "Others spend money, let's seal up the auction house, and we can get an extra income, Your Majesty is wise."
I:"……"
Forget it, just be happy.
The auction was full of voices, the host introduced my beauty, opened the curtain to see, some people sighed, if only I was a girl.Then someone said, it doesn't matter if you are a kid, as long as you have a beautiful face.
Foul language is not enough.
I originally wanted to kill the carbine after leaving here, but unexpectedly, a group of swordsmen with strong martial arts broke in halfway and interrupted the auction.
"You fellows with rotten consciences, go to hell." These swordsmen were dressed in white clothes, coir raincoats, and bamboo hats. They couldn't see their faces clearly, but they could tell that they were strong in martial arts.
I was fished out of the cage by one of them, and he said to me: "It's okay, come with me."
Seeing that this person looked familiar, I was stunned for a while.
"Are you afraid?" The man shook off the blood-stained sword and grabbed me with the other hand, "Don't be afraid."
I suddenly remembered——
It was this man who saved me back then.
In the year when I was established as the crown prince, even though I ran away from the kidnappers by myself, it was as difficult for me as a child, penniless, to travel hundreds of miles back to the capital.
Then at that time, this man appeared in front of me, and he told me, follow him, don't be afraid.
The author has something to say: Gao Xi: I am quite valuable.
Wang Xifu: Have you experienced despair.jpg
Queen Mother: Smile benevolently.
In future updates, the two chapters will be combined into one (~ ̄▽ ̄)~

At the age of [-] or [-], the junior apprentice was pushed out by the manager without any stage fright, saying that his name was Li Ao, and then politely offered me a price.A strong labor handyman in the old days would have one tael and three silver coins, a life-long contract, and all the slave documents. If you add ten cents, the dental bank will cover the entire transfer process.
I nodded with satisfaction, and picked a few that looked okay.

There is no lack of voices of people watching and discussing.

After finishing speaking, the person in charge did not stay in the lobby, but went into the dental office and disappeared.
I looked away from the manager, and found that Li Ao was still writing the business documents for me seriously, and was not affected by the sudden incident just now.

I looked at the document in my hand. The document did not mention the names of these people, but their hometowns were very uniformly written as Daxiao Village, Mingxi Town, Liuxian County.
I didn't think it before, but now it seems that it's all fake.When I selected people, I deliberately selected young people in their twenties. If they were from a village of the same age, how could they behave so strangely to others.
This is a document that has passed Fuyaming Road.
"Tell the truth." Hearing them faltering about Daxiao Village, I got angry.
My anger was probably felt by them, and one of them bravely told me the truth.Said that he was originally from the nearby Fu County, but because of the flood in Fu County and his family lost two months ago, he was abducted to Liu County.
After hearing this, I nodded and continued to ask other people.
The result was that each of the nine people was abducted at different times. The first person from Fu County who spoke was lucky. He was only abducted once, and he was obedient, so he was sent to a tooth shop for serious business.
The miserable ones were abducted for six or seven years, and transferred to several owners, but they were relatively old when they were abducted, and they still remembered their ancestral home.One of them doesn't remember when he was abducted at all, probably when he was a baby, and he doesn't remember the others.
I could hear the nerves on my forehead twitching. Those who passed the official road, Da Qi's serious teeth, I bought nine people at random, all of them were kidnapped!
The teacup on the table didn't hold on, and I fell directly to the ground with a slap, and the voice in the private room stopped immediately.Xiaoer outside the door heard the movement, and wanted to come in to have a look, but Wang Xifu gave him some money and sent it away.
In fact, I might as well have been abducted.
It's just that I run faster.
Listening to their abduction experience, I couldn't help but ask them: "Do you know about Zhengtaiyuan?"
The person who had a lot of abduction experience thought for a while and said: "I stayed in it for a while before, and people came and went every day. Except for the buyers on the surface, Zheng Taiyuan also turned around every day. It is said that Zheng Taiyuan is behind the scenes There is a mine." At this point, he paused, and smiled embarrassedly: "I happened to be sick at that time, so I was not favored by others. Zheng Taiyuan disliked my trouble, so he sold it to a dental firm."
After listening to what they said, I didn't ask any more questions.
Thinking about how much these abducted people could know, they led them to the place where they stayed, and saw that I finally brought back the workers, and the little eunuch who was brought out of the palace was overjoyed, and happily brought them back. These people directed around.
Oh, Wang Xifu is in charge of things like gold, silver, and silk, and there are also hidden guards watching over them, so I don't need to worry about them at all.
I originally wanted to settle here temporarily, and go to Jin County after buying someone, but now, I don't want to go there so soon.
After poking around in the house for a long time, I asked Wang Xifu to change me into ordinary clothes, no silk, embroidery or gold.This request stumped Wang Xifu, so he searched for a long time to find a dress that met my requirements, and after changing it for me, Wang Xifu boasted with a smile: "Young master, you really look good in everything you wear."
I looked in the mirror and thought it was not bad, then I asked Wang Xifu: "If you look like this, do those kidnappers have the guts to kidnap me?"
Wang Xifu: "?!!!"
Looking at Wang Xifu who is gradually petrified, I patted him on the shoulder and introduced to him the plot I thought about along the way.
Meng Xiaowu, the son of a rich family, came to Mingxi Town to look for relatives, but Wang Damingming, the servant, saw the money and robbed Meng Xiaowu's money with other servants, and then fled without a trace.
Meng Xiaowu was forced to live on the street and wandered to the gate of Zhengtaiyuan. After all, Meng Xiaowu was good-looking, and the kidnapper couldn't help seeing Lie Xinxi when he saw it, and knocked Meng Xiaowu into a coma...
Wang Xifu was so frightened by my story that he knelt on the ground and swore: "This slave is loyal to the emperor, the world can learn from it, and the sun and the moon can show it. If there is such a thought of carrying money, the slave will have no treasure in this life." Bury together, and be a rootless thing in the next life."
Wang Xifu's movements were so proficient and smooth, I didn't realize it for a while and pulled him up.As a result, Wang Xifu burst into tears after finishing speaking, just like the infatuated girl who was abandoned by a heartless man.
I was frightened by my brain supply, I shook my head, trying to get Wang Xifu up, but the old eunuch couldn't get up.
I breathed a sigh of relief, called Qi Feng out, and pulled him up.
"When did I question your loyalty? Even when you gave me medicine last time, I didn't bother with you."
Hearing what I said, Wang Xifu's face suddenly eased up, and then he said to me: "Isn't this my servant, I was frightened. Last time, the daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Rites gave too much money."
I:"……"
Loyalty is really a matter of price, heh, indifference.jpg.
Wang Xifu looked at me innocently, and then asked: "The emperor's idea is too dangerous, you shouldn't put yourself in danger."
Qi Feng next to him also nodded, expressing his approval: "It is indeed a bit dangerous. Didn't you just say, Your Majesty, that you don't need to do everything yourself?"
Oh, I was educated by Qi Feng.
Before Mingming came to Jiangnan, I told Qi Feng that everything is done by myself, not the behavior of the emperor.However, Qi Feng can't stop what I plan to do. Even if I "vomit", as long as I insist, Qi Feng will soon turn against me.
Because I said: "Don't let me be abducted, don't you two look easy to be abducted?"
This said.
Qi Feng's martial arts are very strong, as a martial artist, the possibility of being targeted by kidnappers is small. If he can take a fancy to Qi Feng and then kidnap him, he will sweat for that person first.Oh, speaking of it, Murong Xin could be regarded as "abducting" Qi Feng and leaving, but in the end it failed.
Besides, Wang Xifu and the other eunuch, they are mainly missing a part. If they are abducted people, regardless of whether they have the ability to attract abductees, if they are really abducted, it is likely that their identities will be exposed because of this matter. , fall short.
So I'm really the only one who might be kidnapped.
But Wang Xifu was still trying to stop him, and in the end he couldn't stand it any longer. He said, "Before leaving the palace, the empress dowager said that if your majesty has any problems on the way to the south of the Yangtze River, you will have to find the servants to settle the score."
Zhen: "Then you disobey my will now, and I can deal with you now."
There was despair in Wang Xifu's eyes.
I seem to be able to understand his thoughts, "Hiding the first day of the junior high school or hiding the fifteenth day", "Can the monk run away from the temple if he can escape".
Then, under my insistence, the script continued as it was.I was living on the street, starved for two days, and finally attracted the attention of beggars...
As for starvation, I'm a skilled worker, so it's not a big problem, but why didn't I get kidnapped as I wished?
I:"?"
Is my beauty not enough to attract the kidnapper's attention?Concubine Meng, who dotes on the harem, has your beauty been abandoned by the times?Kidnappers and human traffickers, won't they attack me?
Thinking so, I ate the hot steamed buns sent by the beggar as a gesture of gratitude.
The old beggar smiled kindly. After eating the steamed buns, it didn't take long before my eyes went dark and I passed out.
I:"……"
I am still too young, the world is so complicated.
But do I count as asking for benevolence?Anyway, when I woke up, I heard the old beggar and someone bargaining outside the ruined temple in a daze——
"Twelve."
"Ten taels is too high, five taels at most."
"Eight taels! Look at that appearance, how handsome it is."
"Six taels, really can't be more."
"Qiliang! I saw this young master when he came to the town before. The young master who defected to his relatives has fallen into trouble. There are definitely people who like it. The market is good."
"All right, all right, you old beggar, you are the most cunning."
I moved my body, trying to wipe off the black cloth from my eyes to look at the surrounding environment, but at this moment Qi Feng suddenly said, "I will guard Your Majesty."
Of course I knew that Qi Feng would be there, that's why I had the guts to make such a fuss.But hearing his voice, I still felt quite at ease. After all, I just wanted to check the trafficking line, and didn't want to be really kidnapped.
Moreover, the emperor of my state is only worth seven taels of silver!
It's embarrassing to say it.
Oh, by the way, no one can tell about this!
From the old beggar to the human trafficker, I passed it several times, and it was a toss all the way.Probably because I was afraid that I would run away, and everyone would not forget to drug me. I was very speechless about this, and I really wanted to tell them directly that I would not run away. I wanted to see how your entire transaction chain is going. something!
In fact, it is not suitable to say it.These people kept trading, and in just half a month, my net worth went from seven taels to 70 taels.
These middlemen make the difference, and they are heartless.
The place where I lived was a dilapidated temple from a young age to a dilapidated cage. I heard from the food delivery person that there will be a big auction tonight, and my final buyer will be determined.On the surface, I didn't care about it, but I breathed a sigh of relief. After tonight, I will close the net.
Such a tossing life is really not suitable for me. I will investigate the corruption of officials in Jiangnan, and I will never do this kind of thing!High bed and soft pillow, isn’t the delicacies of mountains and seas delicious?
I will miss Wang Xifu.
Qi Feng's secret guards tracked the traffickers in the transaction one by one, and basically found out all the kidnappers in several towns near Liu County.
In addition to the officials who colluded with the kidnappers as I expected, there are even some windfalls.
The hidden guards followed one of the traffickers to Fu County next door, and found a mine in Fu County.The trafficker brought a large number of people in, and the inside was strictly checked. At that time, only one hidden guard passed by, and he didn't dare to investigate deeply. The situation inside was not very clear.
But it is true that this mine has not been reported to the imperial court.
I was thinking about what to do after I went out, but the auction time came soon.
Qi Feng asked me: "Do you want to spend money to buy His Majesty back?"
I was a little speechless: "What do you spend that money on, don't care who bought it, just remember to save me."
Qi Feng was puzzled: "Anyway, we are going to seal up this auction house in the end, and the money will come back."
What Qi Feng said was so reasonable, I didn't even know how to refute him for a while.However, Qi Feng quickly found the correct way to open it: "Others spend money, let's seal up the auction house, and we can get an extra income, Your Majesty is wise."
I:"……"
Forget it, just be happy.
The auction was full of voices, the host introduced my beauty, opened the curtain to see, some people sighed, if only I was a girl.Then someone said, it doesn't matter if you are a kid, as long as you have a beautiful face.
Foul language is not enough.
I originally wanted to kill the carbine after leaving here, but unexpectedly, a group of swordsmen with strong martial arts broke in halfway and interrupted the auction.
"You fellows with rotten consciences, go to hell." These swordsmen were dressed in white clothes, coir raincoats, and bamboo hats. They couldn't see their faces clearly, but they could tell that they were strong in martial arts.
I was fished out of the cage by one of them, and he said to me: "It's okay, come with me."
Seeing that this person looked familiar, I was stunned for a while.
"Are you afraid?" The man shook off the blood-stained sword and grabbed me with the other hand, "Don't be afraid."
I suddenly remembered——
It was this man who saved me back then.
In the year when I was established as the crown prince, even though I ran away from the kidnappers by myself, it was as difficult for me as a child, penniless, to travel hundreds of miles back to the capital.
Then at that time, this man appeared in front of me, and he told me, follow him, don't be afraid.
The author has something to say: Gao Xi: I am quite valuable.
Wang Xifu: Have you experienced despair.jpg
Queen Mother: Smile benevolently.
In future updates, the two chapters will be combined into one (~ ̄▽ ̄)~
