Chapter 6 is quite unreasonable

Kang De came out of Xichun Tower, the hot midday sun shone on him listlessly, and his chest seemed to be pressed against a big stone, and he was uncomfortable. Unconsciously walked to the lively Bianliang Market, and was about to hurriedly walk through this mixed place, but suddenly saw Zhao Xingde crowded behind a large group of people who were shouting in front, and was raising his neck to look in.

The Kantian would never stop to watch the excitement, but at this moment, he couldn't help but be curious, and slowly stepped forward, looked over the human wall, and suddenly became angry. I saw a young woman tied to a meat case with her back facing the sky, the woman's chin was slightly pointed, and her cheeks were crisscrossed with several blood marks, and she could vaguely see that she was originally a little pretty, and the clothes on her upper body were faded off, revealing slightly black delicate skin, and a tattered Luo skirt was on her waist. To the fury of the Kant people, the woman's waist was clearly tied with an iron and wood sign from the Xia Kingdom.

"Come and see, this woman who doesn't abide by women's morals has chopped and sold, and she can have any piece of meat she wants." A hideous-looking, shirtless-looking man stood behind the meat case, brandishing a wrist-dissolving knife, shouting and gesturing the tip of the knife at the woman's body.

The big man shouted in a rough voice: "Ears, nose, milk~ son, thighs, whatever you choose, come and buy it, you can buy any piece of meat, don't be so stingy, it's a little more expensive than pork, cheaper than mutton, don't you want to buy it back and taste it?" ”

There were more and more crowds around, some shrunk their heads and looked at the stunner who was tied to the meat case, some looked at the stunner tied to the meat case, some looked at the white-fronted tiger tattooed on the big man's back with fear, and some whispered.

"What kind of sin has this woman created, she has to be cleaned up like this by the second master Wang."

"She eloped with the scholar, but the scholar had a wife at home, and refused to live a good life, was sold to the Qinglou, and refused to accept customers honestly."

"Is Second Master Wang really going to chop her? Zhang Lizheng didn't come to persuade one or two? ”

"Scare her and tell her to be honest. Mouse skin, do you still want to be a hero to save beauty? ”

"It's all broken, it's a beautiful fart, my lady asked me to come out to play soy sauce, and I'm running into a good show...... Oops, why is the lady here, it hurts...... Pain...... Painful ......"

Zhao Xingde saw the woman lying quietly on the meat case, biting her lip tightly, her eyes were dull and lost her luster, and she seemed to have lost her shame, and she couldn't bear it, and at this time, she heard Wang Erye shouting loudly again: "This is a cheap product, no one buys it, so you have to chop off a hand first." After saying that, the knife fell in his hand, and he slashed down in the exclamation of everyone, and everyone and Zhao Xingde exclaimed, almost thinking that the woman's hand was about to be cut off, but they saw a hand stretched out from the side, firmly holding the hand of the man holding the knife.

"Brother Kang." Zhao Xingde was stunned for a moment, and only then did he see clearly the Kantian who was glaring at Wang Erye.

The Kantian came to the rescue, and Wang Erye pressed down hard a few times, but the right hand that was grabbed by the Kantian did not move at all, and it was pinched so that it was faintly painful. Seeing that the Kantian was richly dressed, his body exuded a sense of wealth and nobility, and his kung fu was not weak, Wang Er first felt that he was a dwarf, but he couldn't collapse in front of everyone's eyes, and shouted inwardly: "I dispose of my own slaves and maids, this brother, what do you mean?" ”

Kang De stared at Wang Erye's eyes, suppressed the fire in his heart, and said word by word: "I bought this woman." ”

Wang Erye was stared at by him, and when he saw that the Kantian was willing to buy people, he went downhill along the donkey and said: "All? ”

"All of them." Kantian said coldly, stretched out his hand and took out a Jiaozi from his arms, the price of good mutton on Bianliang is fifty wen a catty, this woman is petite, but seventy or eighty catties, and 4 yuan is enough to buy it all. Wang Er took the handover, and just started to untie the woman from the meat case, the woman sat up, just pulled up the cloth skirt under her waist to cover her upper body, and said to the Kantian: "If you buy me back as a concubine, then you have made a mistake." Her face was haggard, her thin lips were bloodless, and the words she spat out were resolute.

Kant took out a bronze medal from his arms and lit up in front of her, immediately took it back, and said in a deep voice: "Can you go with me now?" The bronze medal was the same as the household card on the woman's waist, and a hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, and she immediately lowered her head and walked out of the crowd with her head bowed and followed the Kantian out.

Zhao Xingde was about to buy the woman out of his voice, but he was robbed by the Kantian, and he admired him in his heart, so he followed the two out of the crowd, only to hear the Kantian say to the woman: "You take care of your injuries first, and there will be a caravan going to Samarkand in half a month, you will follow them home." But the woman said gloomily: "The slave family is embroidery, disobeyed the orders of his parents, eloped with someone, was humiliated for life, and never returned home again." She raised her head and said to Kant with expectant eyes: "Thanks to the rescue of the adults, if the adults do not dislike it, the slave family will be cattle and horses for the adults in this life, and there will be no complaints, and the next life will be rewarded with grass and ranks." Kangde glanced back at Zhao Xingde, who was following him, didn't say anything, and turned around to greet Zhao Xingde first.

Zhao Xingde stepped forward quickly and praised him: "Brother Kang helped him when he saw injustice, he is really a benevolent and righteous person." Kang Deyi smiled faintly and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhao, I am from the Xia country, and when I saw this girl, I was moved by Sangzi's feelings." In the Spring and Autumn Period, the law of the Lu country, the Lu people were concubines of the princes, and those who could redeem them took their gold in the house. Xia Guo followed this method, I rescued this embroidery girl, and there was a lot of effort, and the so-called money was gone. ”

After Zhao Xingde praised the good governance of Xia Guo, the two parted ways, and the Kangde took Na Ah Xiu back to Fuhaixing, first wrote a note, and asked Liu Xunshi, who patrolled the Yamen of the Left Army, to clean up the second master of the ruffian king in the market, and then asked Ah Xiu: "Where does the scholar who deceived you to Bianliang live?" So I sent someone to gouge out his heart and liver, and came out to see the color. "Xia Guohe is located in the land of four wars, surrounded by the Di Yi clan, the people often practice fighting, the people are brave, the most important revenge, Ah Xiu knew that the Kant was not casually laughing, immediately knelt on the ground, forgave the sin, but refused to confide in the name of the scholar of the Song Kingdom, the Kant only sighed, and temporarily took Ah Xiu to do things by his side, he had a lot of mundane affairs at hand, and gradually put down the matter.

found Chen Dong in Taixue, and Zhao Xingde showed Chen Dong more than a dozen unveiling posts he had written. Chen Dong looked at it and praised it: "Don't dare to say anything else, if you talk about laughter and scolding, you will become an article, there are three thousand bachelors, and Yuan Zhi ranks first." Zhao Xingde said with a smile: "It's a pity that this subject is not examined." Chen Dong also shook his head with a smile, and the two went to the streets and alleys of Bianliang together, taking advantage of the fact that there were no officials and Li Zheng on the street, and quickly pasted more than 30 sheets, Chen Dong took Zhao Xingde to a small bookstore and received ten yuan of money. Just now, the Kangde people saved Ah Xiu's broken expenses were only 4 times, Zhao Xingde looked at the Jiaozi in his hand, and was secretly sighing that learning is money, and suddenly heard Chen Dong say mysteriously: "There is also a way to make money, it coincides with today, is Yuan Zhi willing to go with him?" ”

Zhao Xingde listened to the past, and Chen Dong said in detail. It turns out that at this time, when the big families do things, or worship the Buddha and worship incense, the female dependents should tie the silk thread into various intractable knots and hand them over to the monks of the temple in person, and the monks should untie all these silk knots before the limited time, and tie the knot with the same sound, so as to eliminate disasters and turn disasters into disasters. The ladies and ladies had nothing to do in the boudoir, and at some point, they found that tying and untying knots was actually quite an interesting confrontation game, so that all kinds of knots began to be so complicated and difficult to untie that the monks of the Great Xiangguo Temple had to secretly find someone to untie the knots that had made them angry. For the master of untying the knot, not only are valuables such as gold melon seeds and small silver ingots sometimes wrapped in the silk knot, but also different rewards are paid according to the difficulty of untying the knot and the length of the time limit.

"It's just a knot, is it so difficult?" Zhao Xingde had a suspicious look on his face.

"The mouth of the green bamboo snake and the needle on the tail of the wasp, both are not poisonous, and they are the most poisonous to women's hearts." Chen Dong shook his head with emotion and said, "Yuan Zhi, you don't know our lady of Bianliang too well, in order to make the brocade knot difficult to untie, they first soaked the silk thread with well water before tying the knot, and then dried it to make the dead knot shrink and tighten, and even repeatedly soaked and dried more than three times, so that the silk knot shrunk and became similar to a stone, this is still the most common trick." He had a look on his face that had once been in the sea, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot.

"Is that an exaggeration?" Zhao Xingde secretly said in his heart, and followed Chen Dong suspiciously to the Daxiangguo Temple.

This Daxiangguo Temple is the first prosperous place in Bianliang City, not only pilgrims gather, but also many traders buy and sell things according to Daxiangguo Temple, not only along the Bianhe Street in front of Daxiangguo Temple. This day coincides with the Buddha's birthday on April 8, and the ten major Zen monasteries in Bianliang have a bathing Buddha fasting meeting, and prepare a decoction of fragrant medicinal sugar water, called "bathing Buddha water", which is presented to the pilgrims who come to worship the Buddha. It is because I have not yet arrived at the Great Xiangguo Temple, and there are pilgrims who come to worship the Buddha everywhere in the distance. All kinds of shops take the opportunity to do a lot of business, in addition to the shops, the inside and outside of the Great Xiangguo Temple are full of dense stalls. But everything that is used in daily life, such as mats, screens, washing things, saddle bridles, bows, swords, preserved bacon, etc., are all available.

Close to the Buddha hall, it is the candied fruit, Zhao Wenxiu pen, Pan Gemo and other delicate and elegant things, and the verandah in front of the Buddha hall is the stall in the temple that produces and sells itself, specializing in buying and selling the collar wipe, the flower tree, the pearl and the cui head face, the hat of the head, the special bun crown, the silk thread and other clothing and ornaments made by the temple nuns and servants, and the stall behind the hall is placed with books, play, pictures, and more expensive things such as special products and incense medicines from all over the place. The most exaggerated thing is that there is a restaurant called Roast Pig Courtyard near Xiangguo Temple, which is known as the first in Bianliang with roast pork. Zhao Xingde was amazed, almost all the people are doing business, not only the forbidden army, but even the monks are not exempt from vulgarity.

While dealing with the vendors who kept selling him all kinds of goods, Chen Dong said to Zhao Xingde: "In the early days, the shops in this city could only be bought and sold in the square, and were not allowed to face the street, but later the dignitaries and dignitaries gradually could not make ends meet, so they let the merchants make money, and demolished the walls of the workshop, so that the shops and markets were everywhere, even the Buddhist temples were not exempt from vulgarity. ”

Zhao Xingde heard a sour resentment in his tone, before the demolition of the wall, the shops and housing prices in Bianliang City were not expensive, and the people who could tear down the wall and open a store without being asked by the Kaifeng Mansion were some big officials with a way, these people made enough money in the wall demolition movement in Bianliang City, when the shop trading in Bianliang was completely opened, the price of the shops in Bianliang after the demolition of the wall had been speculated to more than ten times high, and businessmen like Chen Dong's father who were not deep in Bianliang had to grit their teeth and spend a lot of money to take over the store.

In recent days, the imperial court has begun to impose a variety of restrictions on buying houses in Bianliang in the name of high housing prices, and the so-called scarcity is expensive, which has pushed the housing prices in Bianliang to a sky-high price. So much so that the monks of Daxiangguo Temple could not bear the temptation of Ah Du, and allowed some merchants who had a good relationship with the Buddhist temple to open shops in the temple, and as a result, the amount of money and goods extracted from these shops every year reached an extremely astonishing amount, and by virtue of the special status of the Buddhist temple, they were also exempted from paying taxes. The presiding abbot knows the taste of the marrow, little by little, and actually makes use of all the places inside and outside the Xiangguo Temple that can open shops and stalls, and the large Xiangguo Temple, which covers a wide area, has almost opened up the largest small commodity market in Bianliang.
