In the private room, in addition to Fang Zhu Zhang Hao and the four girls who accompanied the wine, there was also a girl who played the piano.

Fang Zhu hugged left and right, Chunzhu Xialan, one fed him vegetables, the other fed him wine, his face was full of red light, so uncomfortable. On the other hand, Zhang Hao, holding a wine glass in both hands, shrunk between Qiu Ju and Dongmei, the beautiful girl served him vegetables, he said "I'll come by myself", poured him wine, or said "I'll come by myself".

"Brother Xian, this is yours, how can you surprise the beauty?" Fang Zhu smiled and said in a reproachful tone, looking at this, he thought that Zhang Hao was quite funny like this.

"Brother, don't make fun of me, I'm really not used to eating like this." Zhang Hao felt uncomfortable now, and the two girls were very close, making him feel embarrassed no matter how he moved.

Fang Zhu looked like a person who had come over, and said lightly, "What's so embarrassing about this, for my brother, I didn't look like you when I first came." It means that you have come less often, and you will get used to it if you take you a few more times for your brother in the future. When the time comes, you will experience the fun, and then you don't have to take you for your brother, you will come by yourself. ”

Feelings, you still want to bring me to this place again, Zhang Hao hurriedly said, "Even if there is no chance, after I get married, I should go to Fang County to take up my post." ”

"You are really an elm head, isn't there such a Fengyue place in Fang County?" Fang Zhu said with hatred that iron could not be made of steel.

Could it be that you still want to follow Fang County to harm me, Zhang Hao looked at Fang Zhu dumbfounded.

"But Brother Xian is right, there are indeed a lot fewer opportunities in the future, my father thinks that I am always idle, and I don't do anything serious all day long, and plans to rely on the relationship and run me to the Jixian County Government to do things. Speaking of which, you and I are thousands of miles apart, and it is really difficult to see each other. Fang Zhu said slowly.

Zhang Hao exhaled secretly, fortunately.

"That little brother respects my brother with a cup, and I wish my brother a smooth future." Zhang Hao raised his wine glass and drank it all, the wine in this ancient time was really very low.

Fang Zhu also raised his wine glass, "For my brother, I also respect my virtuous brother, and I am rising step by step." "It's all in one go.

The two of them are located in one of the best private rooms in the entire Spring Festival Pavilion, located on the third floor, and you can see the entire Jixian County at a glance from the window.

Downstairs is the gate of the Spring Festival Pavilion, Zhang Hao happened to catch a glimpse of an old man in rags, holding a little girl with a gray face in his hands, and Erniang, who had entertained the two of them before, at this moment, Erniang was discussing something with the old man on the street.

It didn't take long for the two to seem to have reached some agreement, only to see the old man hand over the little girl's hand to Erniang, and Erniang took out a string of coins and handed it to the old man.

At this point, normal people could see what they were doing, Zhang Hao slammed the wine glass on the table, stood up suddenly, went out angrily, and walked downstairs.

Fang Zhu also saw a scene happening on the street, and was about to speak, but Zhang Hao had already run downstairs, and he didn't have time to dissuade him, so he followed downstairs. Only the five girls were left in the room, staring at each other, at a loss.

……

Zhang Hao rushed to Erniang, snatched the little girl from her hand, and said angrily, "You two, you are buying and selling children on the street in broad daylight, and there is no royal law, you are not allowed to leave, I will take you to the county government to see the official!" ”

"Also, you, a human trafficker, are so old that you still abduct and sell children, say! Where did you get this little girl? ”

Hearing the quarrel, a group of people suddenly gathered around to watch the excitement. To say that curiosity and love to join in the fun are also the characteristics of the Chinese people

Erniang and the old man were stunned by Zhang Hao's operation, and they looked at Zhang Hao for a while, not knowing what to say.

Erniang reacted first and said, "This son, you are fine, you can see this ordinary thing like selling yourself, you can see it everywhere you go, and besides, this matter is also allowed by the imperial court, we will go to the county government for the record of this child in a while, and don't bother you to take us over." "It's hard for anyone to be reprimanded for no reason, even if it's their client.

The old man also said, "I am the father of this girl, and I am Chinese New Year's Eve today, and I am not old." ”

Zhang Hao looked at the skinny and withered man, and couldn't tell that this was a thirty-year-old man in the prime of life.

Zhang Hao, who was dazed by seeing the sale of human beings, remembered at this time that it was the Eastern Han Dynasty, not the era when people lived and worked in peace and contentment under the sun.

The Han Dynasty did not prohibit the rich and noble from keeping slaves, like the number of servants in the historical records is used to describe how rich Zhuo Wenjun's father Zhuo Wangsun was, called "rich to a thousand servants", when there was a famous Xuzhou huge rich Mi Zhu (the one who dedicated his sister to Liu Bei) under the door, there were nearly 10,000 diners. The imperial court would also collect taxes from the master's family based on the number of slaves.

After all, Zhang Hao was a history major in his previous life, and he knew that this was just a normal practice for ordinary people who couldn't survive.

But as long as it is a person, he will not easily admit that he has done wrong, let alone when Zhang Hao's starting point is still goodwill, so he refuted it in a hurry.

"Even so, you can't sell your daughter, it's your own flesh and blood."

"This boy is the son of a rich and noble family," said the man, "it is very good, you are well fed, you are warmly dressed, you can read and write, you can be an official, you can come to such a place to be happy when you have nothing to do, you have endless glory and wealth." ”

"But look at me, in order to pay taxes, a few acres of fertile land at home have been sold, and I have borrowed money, and now the interest is rolling more and more, how can I not pay it back, my mother-in-law has no money to see a doctor and has left, what should I do if I don't sell my daughter in order to repay the debt? The money from the sale of my daughter is just enough for me to pay off my debts. ”

"I've seen a lot of sons like you, and I have everything when I touch my skin on weekdays, and I don't know the situation of poor people like us, so I say it's not right or wrong over there."

"A rich man like you, there are so many people in the family who can't survive like me and sell themselves into slavery, and now they actually have the face to say to me, phew!" After the man finished speaking, he spit on Zhang Hao's white robe, leaving a piece of filth on Zhang Hao's clothes along with the sludge on his mouth.

The man vented all the suffering and humiliation he had endured over the years to Zhang Hao at this moment. His eyes were already red, like a bull that had seen a red cloth, panting, as if he wanted to fight with Zhang Hao. And the people around who were watching the excitement also pointed at Zhang Hao and talked about it.

Zhang Hao didn't care about the filth on his clothes, he was already shocked by the man's words. He remembered an allusion that had not yet happened, that is, the Emperor Jin Hui who "why not eat minced meat".

The Sima family itself is a Dashi clan in Hanoi County, Sima Yan usurped the throne and became the emperor, changed the name of the country to Wei to Jin, and became the lord of the world, and the descendants naturally did not suffer any hardships since childhood.

As the second emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Hui of Jin was able to think about the people in his heart after hearing that the people were affected by the disaster, which was also a good intention, but the method was too unrealistic, so that he left allusions and became a laughing stock.

Zhang Hao felt stupid, he had read so many books in two lifetimes. But this also has something to do with the fact that he has not been exposed to the real bottom life before. In the final analysis, it is not really integrated into this era.

However, knowing that mistakes can be corrected is a traditional Chinese virtue. When Zhang Hao realized his mistake, he admitted it very frankly.

He bowed to the man and bowed deeply, "I am here to apologize to you, brother, because I have shallow experience, I only know empty nonsense, and I don't know the sufferings of the people." ”

"Today's words have taught you many truths, and you are the teacher of your next life." Zhang Hao said very sincerely.

The man was moved by Zhang Hao's attitude, and gradually calmed down his anger. "Childe is serious, I'm just a rough person, and I just scolded you because I was angry." After speaking, the man was about to leave, and Erniang followed, and the two planned to go to the government for the record.

"Wait," Zhang Hao stopped the two again, "Brother, I want to know how much you sold your daughter to Erniang?" I'm out double! ”

Now Erniang is also angry, "I said Gongzi, for the sake of Gongzi Fang, I didn't bother with you just now, and now you are coming to disturb my business again, are you really easy to provoke as a mother?" ”

Zhang Hao ignored Erniang, but looked at the man.

The man said, "Although your money is higher, but I also know the truth of what I say, and I have already agreed with Erniang before, so forget it." ”

Zhang Hao was anxious, "Can you really bear to sell your daughter into the Spring Festival Pavilion, then her life is not ruined." ”

"How can you speak, Gongzi Qinggao, you don't have to use it, don't hurt people." Erniang said a little unpleasantly.

The man said with difficulty, "That's better than starving to death with me." ”

"Then it's the same if I come to pay." Zhang Hao continued. Seeing that the man was still hesitating, Zhang Hao asked Erniang.

"Erniang, how about giving this son and Fang Gongzi a face, and give me this little girl."

At this moment, Zhang Hao was not ashamed at all because he was also involved in human trafficking, because he knew in his heart that he was saving people.

This has been the case since ancient times, as long as you have a reason and excuse to do anything, you will have no psychological burden, and your efficiency will be much higher. Like those bandits who have no slogans and those who use the slogans of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" and "doing the right thing for heaven", the level of efficiency is completely different. The former is a thief, and the latter is called a green forest hero.

"I bought it for four hundred dollars, and I plan to train her to become the top brand of my Spring Festival Pavilion in the future, which can help me make a lot of money." Erniang's eyes rolled and she said these words to raise the price.

Unexpectedly, with only 400 yuan, a good family was forced to die. Zhang Hao didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he said directly, "At a fixed price, I will pay a thousand dollars, and the excess will be regarded as me making up for the less money you make in the future." ”

Seeing that Erniang still wanted to bargain, Zhang Hao said, "You'd better stop in moderation, not to say that you haven't made a contract yet, it's decided, this girl will have to grow up to make money for you for more than ten years, and the fees in between are not something she can earn back at once." ”

Erniang thought about it, and after working for a while, it was a lot of money to get six hundred dollars for nothing, so she pretended to be reluctant to agree. When Zhang Hao's servant gave her the money, he immediately smiled, and said thank you, Gongzi, next time I will patronize these words, and then walked into the Spring Festival Pavilion.

With the departure of Erniang, the onlookers also dispersed.

Fang Zhu, who had watched the play for a long time, saw that the matter was resolved, so he walked over and said, "I'll take you to the county government office for notarization and filing." ”
