Chapter 230: Running away

"Hurry, hurry!"

"Idiot, don't talk!"

In the direction of the south gate of Dongping County, a line of carriages and horses "squeaked" forward. Looking at the carriages and horses, they were full of all kinds of household goods and salutes, and they thought that this group of people was preparing to move.

This is a lineup of more than a dozen people, old and young, men and women. Ten of them were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, with sturdy bodies, and they all carried a long knife around their waists, and judging by their attire, it was obvious that they were all guards. And the person in front of him can be seen to be slightly thin under a little moonlight, with a slender face, and a slightly obscene appearance, if Yuan Chang and others are present, they must be able to know that he is Li Rui.

That's right, it is naturally Li Rui who is ready to move.

As a businessman, he has his own family business, and his life is quite comfortable. has one wife, two concubines, and his wife is very angry to give birth to a son for him, Li Rui feels that he is already very satisfied. Li Rui also wants to make money, but if he is subject to Yuan Chang, Li Rui is reluctant in his heart. Therefore, he had previously begged Yuan Chang to give him time to think about it, and he was already preparing to run away.

Jingzhou and Xuzhou are now the most stable places in the world, and he plans to cross the Yellow River in the south, and then choose one of them to live and live. And with the prosperous business in Jingzhou and Xuzhou, he can better display his talents.

"Master, even if you want to leave, why rush for a while? Isn't it okay to leave after packing up all the things in the house?"

Li Rui's wife, Zhang, asked with some complaints. Just because they were in a hurry, they didn't have time to pack up many things at home, although their family was relatively wealthy, but those things were not cheap, so it was a pity to lose them like this.

"Women, what do you know!"

Li Rui scolded in a deep voice, he was forced to leave in such a hurry. Now that he knows Yuan Chang's true face, if he waits for it to be cleaned up, he probably won't be able to run away. He just wanted to take advantage of Yuan Chang's lack of attention and escape from Dongping County as quickly as possible, even if Yuan Chang was smart, would he still expect that he would abandon many industries in Dongping County and run away?

Although a businessman pursues profits, he still has the courage, otherwise he would not be able to become a successful businessman. Moreover, Yuan Chang's true face is known to him, and if he doesn't agree to serve Yuan Chang, it is estimated that his life will not be saved.

Seeing Li Rui like this, Zhang's didn't say anything, and she was still very obedient to her husband's words.

"Hehe, Li Rui, you are in such a hurry, I don't know where to go?"

Li Rui, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly heard this sound, and his whole body trembled like an electric shock. He knew that he still underestimated Yuan Chang, but he didn't expect Yuan Chang to anticipate his hand.

Walking down from the carriage with a bitter face, Li Rui bowed his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, Xiaomin feels that the land of Jizhou is not very stable, so he is ready to move to other places to live, and I hope that my lord can give Xiaomin a way to live." ”

"Li Rui, Lord Ben didn't say that he wouldn't let you go, why are you so alarmed!"

Yuan Chang said softly, and just as Li Rui's face showed joy, Yuan Chang's next sentence seemed to make him fall into the ice cellar again.

"However, you already know the secret of Lord Ben, and it will be uneasy for me to let you go like this. In that case, how about you put your son with Lord Ben, and in a few years, I will let him go back to you?"

"Master, don't, Yi'er is still young now, how can the concubine rest assured that he will follow others. ”

Hearing Yuan Chang's words, Li Rui hadn't spoken yet, and Zhang was already sobbing and begging Li Ruiyang, lest Li Rui would hand over his child to Yuan Chang.

"Shut up!"

Li Rui whispered a shout at Zhang, then turned his head to look at Yuan Chang, clenched his teeth, and assured in a firm tone: "As long as the adults let the little people leave, the little people will never say anything about the adults, if you violate this oath, you should not die well." ”

"No way!"

Yuan Chang shook his head very resolutely and said bluntly: "I will never easily promise any oath, because I will not believe it. Even if you can promise that you won't say it when you're sober, but if you're drunk, can you promise that you won't say anything?

What Yuan Chang said was reasonable, no one dared to guarantee that he would not say anything when he was drunk. Moreover, women have always had big mouths, and they may inevitably leak their mouths when chatting with others. Don't talk about Yuan Chang, even if it's Li Rui himself, he won't believe other people's oaths when he encounters this kind of thing.

A hint of perseverance flashed on Li Rui's face, and he said decisively: "My lord, Xiaomin originally handed over the wealth accumulated over the years to the adult, and only hoped that the adult would let Xiaomin leave. ”

"If you can't say no, you can't!"

Yuan Chang was unmoved, he asked for money, and the money given to him by the villagers of his own village was enough for him to do a lot of things. Therefore, he doesn't attach much importance to Li Rui's property, besides, what he needs is Li Rui's ability, not Li Rui's property.

"Seeing that you are so resolute in going, Lord Ben is also reasonable, and will give you a test, as long as you can pass, then let you go. ”

Hearing Yuan Chang's words, Li Rui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked urgently: "I don't know what the test is, Xiaomin is willing to accept it." ”

A wicked smile flashed at the corner of Yuan Chang's mouth, and he stretched out his finger and pointed at Dian Wei and Han Sui, who were following him, and said in a relaxed tone: "As long as your guards can beat the two of them down, then you can leave safely." ”

Li Rui's smile froze, the test that Yuan Chang gave him was simply impossible to pass. The strength of Yuan Chang's several guards, the people of Dongping County have basically heard of it, and the fierce man who can fight against dozens of officials of the county government, although he has ten guards, can he fight it?

Yuan Chang grinned again and said with a relaxed mouth: "In this way, the two of them don't use weapons, and your guards can use weapons." If your guards hurt the two of them, they will only be blamed for their lack of skill, and Lord Ben will not blame you, and will still let you go, how about it?"

Yuan Chang said this, which was obviously the biggest concession. Li Rui also knew that he was advancing and retreating, and this was his only chance, there was a big difference between having a weapon in hand and not having a weapon in hand, he didn't believe that Yuan Chang's two guards would not be able to beat them if they had no weapons.

Therefore, Li Rui immediately turned around, looked at the ten guards with burning eyes, and said proudly: "As long as you defeat the two of them, I will reward each of them with a hundred taels of gold, and then reward you with a beautiful maid." ”

Merchants have a lot of money, so they will choose guards to protect themselves. However, if a guard wants to kill himself when he sees the wealth, will he not shoot himself in the foot? Therefore, the guards selected by the merchants are basically strong men who have been reduced to slavery after committing crimes. If they dare to murder their masters, whoever they are, they will be able to kill these slaves.

Many TV and novels will write that the protagonist will tear up the slave's contract in order to buy the slave's loyalty, which is simply nonsense. Instead of doing so, it's a bad thing.

The contract of a slave is like an ID card, if you don't have a proven identity, you will become a black household, and anyone can kill such a slave. If you want to get a slave out of the status of a slave, you can only ask the court and get permission from the court to change the status of a slave to a pariah, and then slowly transform into a commoner.

Therefore, in ancient times, slaves only had to follow their masters, get the appreciation of their masters, and improve their status in the hearts of their masters. Very few masters would change the status of their slaves, which would not only cost a lot of money, but also, without the bondage of the slave contract, the harm to the master would skyrocket. It can be seen that the content of many TV and novels is to deceive the ignorant people.

"Don't worry, master, we will definitely knock them down!"

"The master looks at our strength!"

When these ten guards heard Li Rui's words, their eyes immediately lit up, and money didn't mean much to them. As long as they are slaves, no matter how much money they have, it will be the same. However, the attraction of beautiful maids to them is different. As slaves, who would marry them, and therefore the only way for them to obtain a woman was through the reward of their masters.

On this side, Li Rui's ten slave guards are full of fighting spirit, and on the other side, Dian Wei and Han Sui are also gearing up.

"Quack!"

Dian Wei pinched his fingers and discussed with Han Sui: "Juzi, these ten people are handed over to me, and I will invite you to drink after I go back, how about it?"

Han Sui shook his head, he finally had a chance to make a move, how could he let it go.

"Hehe, then I'm welcome, Ju Zi will see how many people you can snatch from me!"

Dian Wei saw Han Sui's refusal, and he was not dissatisfied, but the smile on his face became more and more hideous, and it seemed that the ten slave guards were going to suffer.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

Li Rui's ten slave guards pulled out the long knives at their waists and rushed towards Dian Wei and Han Sui with great momentum. Li Rui's reward has already stimulated their fighting spirit, as long as they win the two, there will be a beautiful girl to warm the bed in the future, thinking about the ten people are excited.

However, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

In less than a stick of incense, the ten slave guards were beaten by Dian Wei and Han Sui so that they no longer had the strength to stand up. Dian Wei knocked down seven people, Han Sui knocked down three people, Han Sui was already very satisfied that he could snatch three people from Dian Wei, in terms of personal force, he and Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were incomparable.

Looking at the painful expressions on the faces of the ten people, it is estimated that there will be no ten days or half a month, and I am afraid that the injuries will not be able to heal.

On the other side, Li Rui had a bitter face, he didn't expect his guards to be killed by Dian Wei and Han Sui in seconds. At this point, Li Rui knew that he couldn't run away, so he let his relatives and ten guards return to the county at the moment. Yuan Chang might tell him something next, and the less they knew, the more secure their lives would be.
