Chapter 8: The Black Boy

"Boss, but please take it in!" As soon as the black man got out from under the car, he spread his limbs and bowed in front of Youqiu.

Gu Huai saw that this black man was so low, and his fear was also half gone, so he took a few steps closer and looked over curiously with his head sideways.

At first glance, he found that this person was dark and strong, and he looked like a murderer, but after two more glances, he could detect a touch of scholarly temperament on the other party. Such a contrast, so strange!

What is even more strange is the man's words and deeds. When ordinary people encounter this situation, they are discovered, and then stabbed a sword and pulled out from under the car, they will inevitably beg for mercy. But when the black man saw Youqiu and a few people, he still did his best, but he did not show weakness, and only asked to take him in.

The black man should be the "fifth person" that Yu Feng mentioned at the gate of Moyang Fang just nowβ€”the fifth person who should have died under Yu Feng's sword, the fifth person who ran out of Moyang Fang...... Slave?

"Ask you some questions. You Qiu went straight to the point, and in the middle of his words, Yu Feng wanted to put his sword on the black man's neck, but Yu Qiu waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to.

Gu Huai saw You Qiu's small movements in his eyes, and sighed at the secret of his thoughts: if he held the sword to the other party to interrogate, what he said must be beneficial to his life, and it was inevitably untrue.

Sure enough, the black man sensed the opportunity to say goodbye again, and his voice was as loud as if he were shouting.

"What's your last name?" asked Youqiu.

"The little one has no surname or name, and everyone else calls me a black boy. The black man replied.

Gu Huai was moved, is it possible for such a person who doesn't even know his identity to be so open-minded?

"Slave or worker?" asked Youqiu. It means to be a slave or a hired hand in the original place.

"Cheap life, save other people's hands. "It is true that the black man is a slave, but he is not inferior in any way.

You Qiu nodded, as if he had already guessed.

"Why did you come to this Shakun City?" he asked again, apparently to check the details of the other party.

This is natural, people who say that they are slaves are labeled as "outlaws" by others, and they should be investigated even more clearly.

"Because of killing. Black replied, the evidence was flat.

I don't know if it's a rarity or something, Gu Huai realized that he was not the only one who was lucky to come down from the Unbounded Sand Sea.

However, he suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart, after all, he was also a "prisoner" before, and he also brought a "trumped-up" crime.

"Why do you kill people?" asked Youqiu.

"This ...... It's a long story. The boy pressed his head to the ground, and no one else could see his expression, but he could hear his unspeakable feeling.

"We have time. You Qiu said.

"I ...... I was born in Tongzhou and was originally a scholar, but because I failed the exam and my family had a change, I didn't study again. After that, I went home and wanted to find a stable job, but because I was too dark, no one wanted me, so I had no choice but to work as a porter. The black man replied.

So that's the case, Gu Huai nodded slightly on the side, no wonder he had some bookish gas on his black boy.

However, there is nothing inconvenient to explain this?

Seeing that You Qiu just looked at the black boy and didn't make a sound, it meant to let him continue.

It turned out that Heizai met a woman named Wei Ru when he went to Beijing to take the exam. At that time, Wei Ru fell in love with Black Boy's self-motivation and slowly came together with him.

All causes are evil. The so-called right family, Wei Ru's parents of course don't look down on each other and strongly oppose each other, especially after the black boy loses in his quest for fame.

Wei Ru chose to stick to it despite her parents' opposition.

Hei Zai was deeply moved, so he decided to get back on his feet and fight for the happiness of the two. After he returned to Tongzhou, he looked for work everywhere, dreaming of one day being able to soar. But bad luck caused him to hit a wall repeatedly. But even so, Wei Ru has always been with him and never abandoned.

However, poor couples are in decline. Especially in a place like Tongzhou, where money is worshipped, the happiness of poverty does not last long. At first, the two were fine, but later because of the stark contrast between their living conditions and the local economic conditions, coupled with the long-term pressure from his parents, Wei Ru finally wavered.

In a certain chance later, Wei Ru got acquainted with a somewhat powerful fellow countryman, and the two first fell in love, and then Wei Ru couldn't resist the temptation, and finally went down.

The so-called no coincidence does not make a book, and Black Boy received a job from that fellow at one time. And what is even more coincidental is that when I came to work, I caught the scene of the villagers and Wei Ru. Where could the honest black boy stand this anger, and at the same time remembered the various gentle images of Riveru in the past, so he lost control on the spot......

During the call between the two men, the black boy didn't have the upper hand, but somehow he accidentally killed the other party.

After saying this, the black box was silent......

After that, Gu Huai and You Qiu could guess a thing or two, probably because the family of the deceased used their connection with the government to increase Heizai's sentence until he was sentenced to exile to the unbounded sand sea.

"To put it simply, it's just that men don't have the ability to let their women run away, and they are degraded to be inhuman, right?" You Qiu said, seemingly deliberately ridiculing and falling into the ground, but in fact giving encouragement.

Hearing this, the black boy buried his head lower, his body trembled slightly, and after a while, he looked up at You Qiudao:

"Willing to learn from Boss You!"

Gu Huai looked at the complex and determined eyes of the black boy, and thought to himself that this You Qiu could know how to instigate others and control people without touching a few words!

"So, follow me. You Qiu touched his beard, thought for a moment, and then said to Black Boy.

The black boy finally heard the sentence he wanted, bowed for the third time, and did not speak again.

Gu Huai looked at the man who had been lying on the ground, as if he heard his faint sobs. A person whose emotions fluctuate so much, but who has firm beliefs, is really a combination of many contradictions.

Suddenly, the sobbing stopped, and the black boy raised his head, wiped his face with his dirty yellow pants, looked at You Qiu with some concern, and opened his mouth, ready to say something.

"You're worried about your own servile contract, are you?" said Yu Qiu with a glance.

Black Box nodded.

After You Qiu agreed to Blackboy's request, he needed to make a contract. However, there is a contract between Black Box and Sumida, and if Black Box and You Qiu make a contract, it will damage the interests between himself and Sumida - or the future interests, and will be punished by heaven.

Gu Huai also seemed to understand, and was very interested in how You Qiu would deal with it.

"Now Moyangfang has been banned by the city government building," You Qiu habitually touched his beard again, and said, "You can't damage its interests no matter what." ”

This Gu Huai understands. Just like in the Imperial City, after the store is closed, the yamen will first ban it, and then deal with it at the right time, first consider changing hands directly, and then sell it again.

You Qiu stopped, and then said:

"As for the Sumida, it will be gone in a few days. ”

This Gu Huai really didn't understand. Why is it gone in a few days!?Dead?Why is You Qiu so sure?

Black Box also looked at You Qiu in confusion, but didn't ask much, just nodded again and said:

"Thank you shopkeeper, the black boy is sure to work with dogs and horses!"

"Shopkeeper," Yu Feng came over at this time and reminded You Qiudao, "It's not convenient for Liu Zhutou to find someone at that time, do you think twice?"

You Qiu waved his hand at Yu Feng: "It's okay, I'll deal with it." ”

Gu Huai watched the scene of You Qiu talking to Heizai, and suddenly remembered the story Gu Li told him. In ancient times, there was a huge rich man named Bai Gui, who was called "Shang Sheng" by later generations.

There are three holiness: according to the time, the right thing and the use of people. The so-called timeliness refers to being good at doing business and following the changes of the season; Yiwu refers to being able to make good use of existing resources in the corresponding season; and employing people, as the name suggests, has considerable advantages in appointing people as virtuous.

As far as employing people is concerned, Bai Gui was even more exemplary at that time. He will use it if others don't know how to use it, and he will dare to use it if others don't dare to use it, such as slaves.

If there is no life and death contract in the human world, the two can change according to the owner's thoughts. Bai Gyu was the first person to convert the contract of slavery into a living contract at that time, and although he was despised and disdained by the world, he always got unexpected results.

In this regard, Gu Li once said to Gu Huai: The heart of profit, ants have it, let alone people?

"The heart of profit, ants have it, let alone people. ”

Thinking of what his father said, he looked at You Qiu again, and some indescribable feelings lingered in his heart......
