Sending Li Qikun away, Gao Feng and Gao Youxian decided to go to the market, almost all the items ordered last time have arrived, and they should be brought as soon as possible.

As soon as he entered the bazaar, Gao Feng saw Gu San and me standing in a corner, with two children beside them, a boy who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and a girl who was also thirteen years old. Both of them had a piece of grass stuck in their heads, obviously trying to sell themselves.

What are these two boys going to do?

Gao Feng's mind turned and he greeted him: "Brother Gu, Brother Bai, why don't you make a good living, but you do the business of buying and selling human beings?"

"Gao Feng, I was looking for you, since you are here, come with me to see Xiao Ye." When Gu San saw the peak, he was immediately overjoyed, and he was about to leave.

Gao Feng shook him off and said, "Let's make it clear about this first, let's talk about Xiao Ye." ”

Gu San saw that Gao Feng was stubborn, so he had to tell the beginning of the matter.

It turned out that the two children were brought in by Gu San to be sold. The child's father is called Hu Lai, a gambler, who is in the casino every day, and in the long run, he not only lost all his family property, but also made his wife angry.

This time he lost all again, and borrowed ten hangs from Xiao Daya, and then lost again. When Gu San brought people to the door to ask for money, Hu Lai naturally had no money to repay his debts.

If he can't collect the money, how can Gu San give up? He intimidated Hu Lai to death.

Hu Lai died, leaving behind two and a half children. Without a creditor, Xiao Daya asked Gu San to pull the two children out and sell them to pay off the debt, but as soon as they arrived at the market, they were bumped into by Gao Feng.

Seeing such a scene, Gao Feng was angry from his heart, hated Hu Lai, really Hu Lai, and ruined a family like this, and he deserved to die. Second, I hate Xiao and my big teeth are messing around, how is this kind of behavior different from a robber?

However, he can't do anything about this matter, and the government is unwilling to manage it.

I looked at the two children, all of them were yellow and thin, skinny as wood, and their clothes were in tatters, and there was no decent place. Both children lowered their heads, their whole bodies trembling with fright, and the peak of that nervous look was sad.

This is the social reality, no matter how rich and humane the Great Song Dynasty is, it is only a part of the people, and most of the people still have no one to care about life or death.

Gao Feng walked up to them gently, squatted down and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The two children didn't dare to raise their heads, their hands were clenched tightly, and their whole bodies were shaking.

"I ask you, are you dead, I don't know how to answer." Gu San shouted.

Hearing Gu San's roar, the children took a step back and finally raised their heads, but their eyes were full of horror.

"My name is Hu Niu, this is my brother, his name is Hu Bao." I don't know if Gao Feng seemed kind-faced, or if he was afraid of Gu San, the little girl plucked up the courage and said softly.

"Don't be afraid, you won't be able to walk with your big brother for a while." Gao Feng comforted them.

The little girl finally reacted and nodded vigorously while tugging at her brother's hand.

Gao Feng comforted them, and then said to Gu San: "Brother Gu, take a step to speak." ”

Although Gu San was surprised, he did not object, and still followed Gao Feng to a no-man's corner.

"Gao Feng, you're not going to buy two children, are you?" Gu San opened his mouth and asked.

"Brother Gu, do you know the consequences of doing this?" Gao Feng did not answer Gu San's question, but asked softly.

"Isn't it just selling two children? What can be the consequences? Besides, it is natural to repay debts, and when they die, the money will naturally fall on them, why not? Gu San said disappreciatively.

"You're right, but I want to ask you, what do they owe?" Gao Feng asked.

"Their old man's gambling debts!" Gu San replied without hesitation.

"Do you dare to use this method for gambling money? Not only did they force people to death, but they also pulled people out and sold them, in case someone sued the government, it would be enough for you to drink a pot. Gao Feng said in a deep voice.

"This" Gu Sanyi was speechless.

He may not understand other aspects of the laws of the Song Dynasty, but about gambling, Gu San knows too much, and he follows Xiao Daya to engage in casinos, how can he not understand the key points.

On the surface, gambling was forbidden in the Song Dynasty, and the most severe punishment for gambling in many dynasties was also in the Song Dynasty, with fines and beheadings for light cases.

It's just that extravagance is prevalent in this society, although gambling is repeatedly banned, not only ordinary people gamble, but also wealthy families, princes and ministers, and even royal nobles follow the gambling.

Of course, different levels of people gamble in different ways, including gambling on juju, chess, dice, fighting birds, etc., to name a few.

There are so many people involved in gambling, and most of the government is turning a blind eye to this, and they can ignore it, and the reason why Xiao Daya's casino can exist is also related to this.

Although the government does not control gambling much, but if gambling costs people's lives, or causes huge social repercussions, it is different, they are bound to intervene, once the government intervenes, the nature will completely change, or fines, or distribution, or even beheading, no one can say what the result will be.

Therefore, Gao Feng said this not to intimidate Gu San, but to say the truth.

Seeing that Gu San was speechless, Gao Feng continued: "In this way, I will pay off the gambling debts they owe for them, and I will take the two children away, so that you don't have to bear the charge of gambling and selling people, how about it?" ”

"But Xiao Ye let me sell it at this price, I'm afraid that Xiao Ye will not have a good time!" Although Gu San was tempted, he still hesitated and said.

Xiao Daya is really dark enough, compared with what I have, I dare to open it at any price, and Gao Feng secretly said that it was fortunate.

"Do you want to harm Xiao Ye to eat a lawsuit?" Gao Feng threatened.

"This-, okay, I'll be the master once, bring twenty hangings, and you can take them away." Gu San finally made up his mind.

Damn, it's a loan shark again, how many people have been ruined by this thing! However, Gao Feng still decided to take people away, after all, he didn't dare to mess around about the fate of the two people, besides, he was short of manpower, seeing that these two little guys were about to become adults, with a little training, they might be able to use it, twenty hangs on twenty hangs, buying people is his own subordinates, it is better than hiring people outside.

However, Gao Feng really couldn't take out twenty hangings at once. There are a lot of sofa orders, before the goods are made, there are few people who pay, even if they pay a few hangs, the amount is not enough, and the peak finally began to worry about the money again.

"Can you delay paying for a few days?" Gao Feng asked.

"That's not good, one hand of money and one hand of goods, besides, this is an IOU, and the money will rise in a few days." Gu San raised the IOU in his hand and said.

In my day, those who engage in casinos are iron-faced and selfless, principled, and don't give a few days of delay, why don't you be allowed to be judges, and there will be fewer unjust cases in the world. Gao Feng scolded secretly.

"Didn't you say that Xiao Ye was looking for me? I happen to be free today, and I'll pay when I see Xiao Ye, it's all right. "Peak Road.

"Yes, Xiao Ye is drinking tea at the tea shop in front, and we will be there in a few steps." Gu San pointed in one direction and answered.
