Chapter 56: Human Teeth
That's it...... Less than half of the people? You can imagine how many people came here to buy slaves before......
"Bai Bo! Why did you come here in person, send someone to say, the little nephew will come to visit! ”
The three of them looked for a sound, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a white robe, a Chinese character face, slightly fat, and a mole on his face, walking over with a smile......
Bai Lao smiled and said, "Chifeng! I'm here to see you today, I haven't seen you in a long time! The second is to give you a deal! ”
"Hahaha......
The middle-aged man named Chi Feng smiled and said, "Thank you Uncle Bai for thinking about your little nephew!" This is the little nephew's fault, he should go to visit Bai Bo! As for Bai Bo saying that he gave his little nephew a deal......"
Bai Lao immediately pointed at Li Ke and said, "This is Li Ke, the boss of Shiweitian, and this is his wife next to him!" This deal should be ...... on Boss Li."
"Oops! I said that the two people next to Bai Bo were so familiar, as if they had seen them somewhere, it turned out to be the famous Boss Li and Mrs. Li! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! What a contemptible chion! I've seen both!"
After He Qifeng finished speaking, it was a gift! "Miu Zan, Miao Zan!" Li Ke and Pear Blossom returned the salute!
"I wonder what is required of a slave?" He Qifeng immediately turned the topic to buying and selling!
"Ahem! Chiffon...... Why don't you sit down and take a sip of tea and talk slowly? ”
Bai Lao thought to himself that this kid and his father had a virtue, and if he had a deal, he wanted to finish it directly! If there is a father, there is a son!
He Qifeng patted his forehead and said regretfully: "Look at what I did!" Please follow me! With that, he led the three of them to an empty table!
Li Ke looked around carefully as he walked, there were many people in the building, most of them were rich people dressed in gorgeous clothes, and they didn't see any slaves? With doubts, Li Ke did it!
He Qifeng beckoned the doctor in the store to make a pot of tea, and continued to ask, "What do you want from Boss Li?" ”
"The 5 female chefs are not too old, and the cooking is delicious! 30 young maids, just be honest!" After Li Ke finished speaking, He Qifeng was startled and said, "Ah!? 35?! "Although Li Ke has a great reputation in Chang'an! There are a lot of stores, but you don't need so many people, right? Could it be that something has been made again?
Bai Lao was also stunned, he didn't expect Li Ke to ask for so many slaves, and looked at Li Ke suspiciously!
Pear Blossom is also a little confused, 35 slaves!! Could it be too much? looked at Li Ke with puzzled eyes, and Li Ke gave Pear Blossom a mysterious smile!
Li Ke smiled faintly and said, "What? What a shopkeeper! Any questions?"
"This ...... It's not that there is no problem, but that ...... These 25 slaves are a little too much! Dare to ask, but Boss Li uses it as a doctor? He Qifeng asked cautiously.
"It's not bothering Shopkeeper He, Shopkeeper He only needs to inform Li, yes or no!"
Li Ke took a sip of the hot tea sent by the doctor, put down the cup, and said slowly.
Bai Lao thought to himself, this Li Ke changed the house, and he needed 35 servants? This house doesn't seem to be small...... "Chiffon!" Have you forgotten the rules? ”
He Qifeng smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh...... Hehe! Don't be surprised by Boss Li! This is the first time I have sold so many slaves, the highest has been sold 10, but this is 35...... I really don't have that much...... But ......"
Li Ke was a little disappointed when he heard that he didn't have so many slaves, and when he heard him say, "But ......," he asked, "But what?" He shopkeeper directly drew out the way! ”
He Qifeng cautiously leaned over and said, "I have some government connections here, and I can bring some ...... out of the prison."
Li Ke was silent when he heard this, thinking that these 35 slaves were indeed not so easy to buy, and the slaves he wanted were indeed a bit too much! But the criminal slave who was brought out of prison ...... It's a little unreassuring!
As if seeing Li Ke's concerns, He Qifeng smiled and said mysteriously: "Boss Li, don't worry, the prisoners I am talking about are not those who have committed murder or the like, but some ......."
Li Ke suddenly realized and understood. It turns out that the prisoners He Qifeng mentioned are some women from ordinary people's families who have been used to confess their crimes by some noble children who have committed crimes, or some petty officials who have offended people who should not be offended, and who have been raided and imprisoned, etc.! In short, it's some unjust cases and wrongful convictions and the like!
Li Ke thinks it's feasible, and he can be a saint by the way! Then he said: "Since this is the case, then there is a shopkeeper of Lao He!" ”
As soon as He Qifeng heard Li Ke say this, he knew that this was done! said: "Out of the way! Out of the way! Now please ask Boss Li and Mrs. Li to go to the backyard with Li to see if there are any suitable slaves! ”
He Qifeng helped Bai Lao, and the four of them went downstairs! This bamboo building is made of two doors, one front door is the door where Li Ke came in, and the other back door is the door that now follows He Qifeng to the backyard!
When he came to the backyard, Li Ke realized that the so-called backyard is actually a fence made of bamboo, there are 8 men and women in it, 5 men and 3 women, the male Li Ke directly skipped it, and looked at the three women carefully, two of them looked ordinary, but one of them looked sweet, it shouldn't be like fleeing, it should be everyone's girlfriend!
The three of them are indeed not wearing the clothes of the people who have fled, it should be He Qifeng who wants to sell them for a high price, so he changed into new clothes! The age is almost between 20~30 years old!
He Qifeng hurriedly introduced to Li Ke: "Boss Li! These are innocent people who have not sinned! They all fled to this place! After speaking, he said to the three women: "This is Boss Li, who eats for the sky!" Follow him and you will not starve or freeze! Boss Li is based on Chang'an ...... with a heart of benevolence and righteousness"
Nima...... This braggathing is too much......" Li Ke looked speechlessly and listened to He Qifeng introduce himself...... Finally...... He Qifeng finished speaking......
Li Ke nodded and asked the first woman, "What's your name?" What will happen? ”
The woman said in a panic: "Slave maid...... The slave maid is called Shen Qian! Yes...... ...... can sew and stuff like that."
Li Ke smiled in his heart, he was looking for you like this! said: "Hmm! Then he asked the other two, one of whom was named Jin Lancui, who could farm...... The last one, that is, the sweet-looking woman named Ning Xueting! What Li Ke didn't expect was ...... He will look at the ledger...... This is something Li Ke didn't expect!
What do you really want, Li Ke is very happy! All three of them are what they need! A piece that can be cultivated to make modern winter clothing! One is used to cultivate agricultural planting! The last one is an accountant for himself!
Li Ke turned his head and said, "These three people ......."
The three women were nervously holding their little hands, as if Li Ke was deciding their fate at this time...... Forehead...... Indeed it is!
"I want all three! What is the shopkeeper's offer?"
As soon as He Qifeng heard that Li Ke bought it directly, the corners of his mouth were cracked to the root of his ears, and suddenly Bai Lao "cough~" twice, He Qifeng suddenly swallowed what he wanted to say into his stomach, and his mind turned quickly! Then he smiled and said, "Haha! Boss Li was introduced by Uncle Bai, how can I ask for Boss Li's money! It was a gift from my acquaintance with Boss Li! It's a bit raw to talk about money! ”
He Qifeng's father has been friends with Bai Lao for many years, and He Qifeng also grew up under the watchful eye of Bai Lao, how can he not understand Bai Lao's prompts! Although he knew in his heart that Li Ke was the shopkeeper of food, it would not make Bai Lao pay so much attention to it, right?
Li Ke didn't pay attention to the cattleness between the two, and said in surprise, "This ...... How does this make Li embarrassed? There is no merit, and the shopkeeper He makes Li embarrassed!" I was also full of doubts!
"He thinks that Boss Li is a great talent, so he will make a good fate!" He Qifeng explained with a smile.
Bai Lao's hoarse and muddy voice sounded: "Li boy! Just take it! It doesn't cost much either! ”
"Even Bai Lao has spoken, then I will thank Shopkeeper He!" Li Ke had no choice but to agree!
"Hey! That's right! I don't know when Boss Li will go there to take a look and pick one? ”
Li Ke thought about it for a while, thinking that he would have to go to Shiweitian to take a look at it later, so he asked, "When is it convenient for Shopkeeper He?"
He Qifeng said with a smile: "Boss Li's business, He is ready to wait at any time!" ”
"Hahaha!" Li Ke said with a smile: "Okay, let's set it between the end of tomorrow!" ”
……
Bai Lao had something to talk to He Qifeng, so Li Ke and Pear Blossom left first!
"Bai Bo ......"
Bai Lao waved his hand to stop He Qifeng from talking, sat on the stool, and said, "I know what you want to ask?" ”
"Huh! Bai Bo is really powerful, and Jiang is still old and spicy! Then Bai Bo told the little nephew...... So what's Li Ke's origin?" He Qifeng said while pouring tea for Bai Lao.
"Haha! You kid! Bai Lao took a sip of tea and muttered: "This Li Ke is incomprehensible, as if he was suddenly born, I have never heard of this person before!" ”
"Oh?" He Qifeng suddenly became interested, sat next to Bai Bo, and listened to him come one by one......
"It seems that this Li Ke ...... One has great talent, and the other has great luck...... This person can only be befriended, not offended!" He Qifeng was also amazed in his heart after listening to what Bai Lao said, he didn't expect that in the half month he had been out, Chang'an had changed so dramatically, he had heard of Li Ke himself, but he never knew that he was so appreciated by His Majesty!
At the same time, I was also very dissatisfied with my spies, no one told me such important information!
……
Early the next morning, the Bai family sent a letter! said that Bai Lao saw his back yesterday!
Rika covered her mouth and her eyes widened! Li Ke was puzzled in his heart, what kind of play opinion? What does it mean? After the messenger left, Li Ke asked suspiciously, "What are you doing covering your mouth?" What's wrong? ”
Rika said: "Bai Lao...... Bai Lao is dead! ”
"What!?"
Li Ke stood up suddenly and said in surprise: "Wasn't it okay yesterday?" Why do you ......" Speaking of this, Li Ke suddenly remembered something...... Then there was a wry smile......
When the emperor dies, he says that he collapses, when the princes die, when the doctor dies, he says that he is a pawn, when a scholar dies, he says that he is not lu, and when a civilian dies, he directly says that he is dead. In some places, the elders died, and they were called "see the back!" ”
