Chapter 139: Buying Slaves

Just felt the beauty in the mouth, Cao Ying was also impressed: "Senior brother is really a good craft, I didn't dare to touch this hawthorn before, I was afraid of this sour taste, I didn't expect this sugar coating to neutralize the sour taste, and the taste was so beautiful." ”

"This is just what I learned from a book by chance, come to the little sister and let me try it." Li Xie lied a little, and while talking about love, he reached for the plate.

But he didn't want Liu Yuanbao to turn around, so Li Xie took an empty one:

"Eh, you little white-eyed wolf! That's what I did. Li Xie said this angrily, but Liu Yuanbao was not taboo and hid behind Cao Ying openly.

Who is Lee Seop?

Is he as arrogant as he can make the act of stealing food from others? I saw him dodge a feint left and right like playing basketball. bluffed Liu Yuanbao out from behind Cao Ying, and then took a piece of hawthorn directly from her plate. Then he triumphantly threw it into his mouth, revealing a look of enjoyment on his face. Liu Yu almost put the plate in his hand on Li Xie's face.

I made three more plates, and Li Xie didn't stop until the syrup was almost used. stopped Liu Yuanbao's endless Husaihai eating, Li Xie took Cao Ying to visit the yamen again, and then sent the two of them away in the afternoon with two large bags of rock sugar gourds.

At a little after four o'clock, Dark Twenty obeyed Li Xie's orders and returned to the yamen with more than 20 people. Li Xie took them to the small courtyard where he often practiced, and pointed to a clearing in the courtyard:

"I'm sorry you to help me dig a pit one zhang long, one zhang wide, and four to five zhang deep. However, the work should only be carried out at night, and all the excavated earth should not be carried away, but all should be piled up in sacks in the room, and covered with something during the day, and it is better to keep it hidden so that no one can find it. Brother Twenty, you can start when it gets dark with everyone, and you can do it at one or two watches in the evening, this matter is not in a hurry, and it can be completed in four or five days. ”

"Yes!"

Maybe this is leadership, Li Xie didn't say that there was overtime pay, and he didn't make any promises, but they all agreed very happily without any complaints.

"Then it's hard for you, Brother Twenty, I'll go back first."

Li Xie didn't say any words of thanks, and left directly without staying with them. He felt that if he really wanted to thank these people, he didn't need to say it, and it was better to make it directly than to make any promises, and it was practical.

Li Xie came back early today, originally he thought that he was alone, and he was going to move tomorrow, and there should be no one to clean up for himself, so he got off work a little early today and came back to clean up briefly.

But when I didn't want to go home, I opened the door and saw that there were three boxes inside: two large and one small. Except that the beds were not folded up, the room had been packed very empty!

"Sister-in-law, can you help me clean up the room?" Li Xie didn't have to think about it to know that it must be the sister-in-law of the Lu family, but he still asked politely.

"That's right! I saw that the adults were not available, so I took it for you, and there was nothing in your room, and I put a box for the clothes, and a big box for the bed, and the small box for the receipt. You see if there's anything else to take away, take it out, and I'll clean it up for you in the evening. Reika's voice came from the kitchen.

"Nothing! Thank you, sister-in-law! Li Xie said politely, and looked at the sky and had already taken Lu Xiaomei out to play.

The next day, the weather was fine, it was only about eight o'clock, and the sun was shining on people's faces, which made people's cheeks hurt. Li Xie watched the few people who were hired go in and out carrying things, and he was already sweating profusely without moving much.

Seeing that they were soaking wet after moving their things, but they all left with smiles on their faces, Li Xie was inexplicably encouraged. Although this yamen is only a seven-grade yamen, it is also Luotianfu, the capital of a country, even if it is a small yamen, it is also the yamen of the capital, so the area is still very large.

In the house of Sanjin, more than 100 people live in the dark twenty, not to mention that there are only five people now, so there are still many spare rooms.

In the small yard in the past, the sanitation was cleaned by Linghua. But now that I've moved to Yamen, it's a bit difficult for Linghua to clean up, and in such a big place, even if Linghua can get it, she will definitely be tired half to death.

Therefore, the matter of buying servants had to be put on the agenda. Linghua is a female streamer, not looking down on women, but the slave market is not a place she dares to go. If she is asked to buy someone, she will be deceived in minutes.

Not to mention Su Ci and Huang Yu, who were enslaved by Li Xie like a dog, in addition to sleeping every day, there was only food and work. Let them buy people, and they can't spare time now.

Li Xie could go by himself, but he was not familiar with these things. He had read a lot of books on the laws and regulations of the slave trade, but books were books, reality was reality, and it was better to believe in books than to have no books, and the things in books could not be completely believed at any time.

So Lee Seop's idea is that it's best to leave things to professionals. It's not that there are no professional people, but Li Xie doesn't know anyone either!

Just find someone on the street?

Not to mention whether the person looking for such a person is professional or not, the key is that Li Xie can't trust the person who got such a person. Although the servant is a subordinate, if this subordinate is stuffed by Li Baichuan or someone from the family, wouldn't it make him uncomfortable?

Don't blame Li Xie for being suspicious, there are really a lot of such things now, the last time I went to see the three old men, they also mentioned it, which can make the three old men cautiously remind, how can Li Xie not be cautious!

So after thinking about it, Li Xie still found Dark Twenty, this guy is a person with an intelligence background, and it is easy for him to make his own requests and let him find someone to come.

Sure enough, Li Xie asked Dark Twenty to inquire about it, and the next day, Dark Twenty came over with more than a dozen people:

"My lord, these are all according to your request, and they are all people from the official family's sin slave workshop. You see if it's suitable, and if it's not, I'll let them change another batch. ”

Of course, Dark Twenty himself does not have the ability to directly raise people from the Sin Slave Workshop, let alone Dark Twenty, even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, they don't have this ability. It was a prison of guilty slaves, and the families of the guilty officials were imprisoned, and only the emperor could dispose of these guilty slaves.

Now the reason why Dark Twenty can directly bring people is also a direct order from Li Zhanji. It turned out that yesterday I heard Li Xie, "It's better to just become a slave, and you have nothing to do with the family before." Know the etiquette and abide by the rules, and be loyal to the Lord's family. After thinking about it, there were only people in the Sin Slave Workshop who met these requirements.

What is the Slave Place? It's not easy to bring a few people out of it.

So he pulled down his face and found his former comrades, wanting them to do some tricks to bring out a few people. It is said that they have not done such a thing before, but the identity of the dark twenty is different now, he is now Li Xie's person, and Li Xie is the person who Li Zhanji was asked to focus on.

The people in Zangfeng were definitely only loyal to the emperor, and the friendship of their comrades was not worth a few dollars in their eyes, so Dark Twenty had just come to the door and asked to do such a shady thing, and he was reported to Li Zhanji when he turned his head.

After Li Zhanji knew about it, he directly waved his hand and said: "Pick a few good ones and send them over, whatever he wants." If he is not satisfied, he will change until he is satisfied. "That's why we're here today.

"Sin Slave Workshop? Brother Twenty, are you afraid that I won't die fast enough? If Li Baichuan and those people knew, they would stab them at the top, and I would have to shed my skin if I didn't die. "Li Xie is well-read, and of course he knows a lot about those small institutions in the imperial court.

So of course, I also know the particularity of this sin slave shop, and know that although this is also an institution for buying and selling slaves, the people inside are absolutely not able to buy and sell without the emperor's order.
