Chapter 8: Slaves (II)

Xu Kang was not too surprised by Xu Fu's first cut and then play, after all, his character as a cheap big brother can be completely summed up with just one word "reckless".

What surprised him was the price of the two supposedly carpenters in front of him - two thousand!

You know, now a big fat pig in Luoyang has been sold for 1,800 yuan, but now Xu Fu told him that the two carpenters who know how to craft are only 2,000 yuan?

Are you kidding?

At this moment, Xu Kang realized that something was wrong, and his eyes suddenly narrowed when he thought of the roast leg of lamb that Xu Fu got from last night's "chivalrous deeds".

"Xu Fu, this guy, shouldn't be bold enough to openly rob other people's slaves, right?"

Although he thought it was unlikely, but just in case, he still asked: "Brother, it's not that I don't believe you, but the price of these two thousand yuan is too outrageous, you tell me the truth, did you get these two people from 'chivalrous and righteous'?" ”

"Uh...... This...... Of course not! ”

Although Xu Fu denied it, he replied with a slight hesitation, and seeing this scene, Xu Kang immediately confirmed what he thought in his heart-

Ma Dan, this product is really robbing, this is in trouble!

In the Han Dynasty, private property was inviolable, this was an iron law, even stricter than in later generations.

Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, stipulated in the "Nine Chapters of Law" that anyone who trespassed on the other party's house without the permission of the owner could be executed for any purpose, and the master would not bear any criminal responsibility.

Although it is now the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it coincides with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there has been a great chaos in the social order, but it is not yet to the point of the collapse of etiquette and music.

And for the behavior of snatching other people's slaves like Xu Fu, at least he needs to pay money and apologize, but at worst, even if he goes to prison and beheads him, he is not wronged!

In short, it's a lot of trouble.

Xu Kang hates troublesome things, and even hates to help others "wipe their stomachs", if it is an unfamiliar person, he can sit idly by, but Xu Fu is different.

He is the eldest brother in his own life, although he is a little reckless, but he is not bad for himself, and he does not forget to bring himself a roast leg of lamb when he goes out to wave.

Thinking of this, he couldn't harden his heart.

"Ma Dan, what else can I do with such a big brother? I can only help him! ”

Although he decided to help Xu Fu solve this trouble, before helping, he had to let him explain things clearly, otherwise he would not be able to start even if he wanted to help.

However, considering that this guy has always been hard-mouthed, Xu Kang decided to sacrifice Xu's "big killer".

So he opened his mouth and shouted.

"Mother, brother, he's in trouble again...... Mmmm......mm

Halfway through his words, his mouth was covered, and it was none other than Xu Fu who covered his mouth!

At this time, Xu Fu was like a burglar, his face was full of fear, and while covering Xu Kang's mouth, he whispered forgiveness.

"I'm sorry second brother, it's the eldest brother who is wrong, the eldest brother shouldn't lie to you, these two people are indeed the result of my chivalrous deeds, don't call your mother here, so as not to make her angry, what do you want to say The eldest brother will tell you, don't you shout?"

Cut, if you don't say no, it's over!

Seeing that Xu Fu confessed, Xu Kang nodded with satisfaction, and then gently patted the back of his hand and motioned for him to let go.

After he let go of his hand, Xu Kang opened his mouth to him while wiping his mouth, "Say, what's going on?" ”

Seeing that Xu Kang didn't call Xu again, Xu Fu also breathed a sigh of relief, and then told him what had happened.

"Here's the thing......"

It turned out that Xu Fu did help Xu Kang buy boxes at the beginning, and the two carpenters he brought back were also met when he bought boxes.

At that time, the two carpenters were being whipped by their master's house, and the reason for the whipping was even more incredible, their master actually whipped them on the grounds that "the box is too strong, and others will not buy it again if it is not broken".

When encountering such a thing, Xu Fu of course would not sit idly by, and immediately beat the man violently, and after the beating, he threw the two thousand money he brought to him, and asked him to sign the document for the transfer of slaves, and then returned home with two carpenters.

When he heard this, Xu Kang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew...... As long as it's not a private house, the current situation is at most a forced buy and sell, even if the other party comes to the door, it's a big deal to lose some money and it's over, if the operation is good, maybe you don't even have to accompany the money. ”

Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed slightly again, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he opened his mouth towards Xu Fu with a serious face.

"Brother, you can't let your mother know about this matter for the time being, you go outside first, I guess the owner should come to the door in a while, don't say anything at that time, let alone have a conflict with them, bring them in to see me, and I'll solve everything!"

"Uh...... All right! ”

As far as Xu Fu was concerned, as long as Xu Kang didn't call the Xu family, he naturally wouldn't have any opinion on his request, nodded and went out with the two carpenters.

Not long after the three of them went out, the victim really came to the door, and brought a man with an upside-down saber and a colorful brocade robe, obviously a local official.

Xu Fu remembered what Xu Kang had said before, so he didn't say anything to the other party, nor did he clash with them, but brought them to Xu Kang.

Looking at the two people brought by Xu Fu, without waiting for the other party to speak, Xu Kang arched his hand towards them with a smile.

"In Xiayingchuan Xu Kang, the word is virtuous, dare to ask why the two of them came from? Could it be that my teacher has been reinstated and sent two of them to look for me? ”

As soon as Xu Kang's words came out, both Xu Fu and the two people who followed him in were blindfolded - what's the situation? There are still students here?

To be an official at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is natural to have a delicate heart, so after hearing Xu Kang's words, the official in the brocade robe did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly arched his hand towards Xu Kang.

"This son, the small surname is Zhang, is a local tourist, in charge of the anti-theft business, not by the order of the son's master, but the small news is also well-informed, if you know the name of the respected teacher, maybe you can also find out some news."

"Oh...... That's it! ”

Hearing his words, a hint of disappointment flashed on Xu Kang's face, but he finally nodded.

"Okay, it doesn't hurt to tell you, my teacher's surname is Cai, he is a person who is retained by Chen, and he was exiled to Shuo Fang because he offended the powerful people in the court at that time, and the former Zhongchang servant Wang Fu slandered and framed him, so he was exiled to Shuo Fang......"

When Xu Kang said this, the You Jiao surnamed Zhang had already widened his eyes and looked shocked.

"Could it be...... Could it be that Gongzi's teacher is Cai Yong, Lord Cai Bojiao? ”

Seeing his shocked look, Xu Kangqiang resisted the urge to burst into laughter and nodded with a serious face.

"That's right, my teacher is Cai Bojiao!"
