Kill it, I can't bear it; If you don't kill it, you can't.

Looking at Zhong Wuregret's hesitant appearance, the old man Xiong Ke said: "Anyone who does great things or can achieve great things, all of them are ruthless, when Pan Chong asked Shang Chen to kill Cheng Wang, Cheng Wang begged: When he eats the bear's paws, although he dies without hatred, but, did the son he raised give him a short time to live?" ”

In the turbulent times of war, human life is like a mustard, not to mention at the junction of feudal society and slave society, in addition to the value of the life of the powerful, any life can be sacrificed for their power, but the good name on the crown is for the country or for the clan, for the slaves and maids who have no status, it is even more miserable, their life is the master's word.

Zhong Wuregret saw all this very thoroughly, but once he asked him to kill a woman like a flower and jade, he still couldn't bear it, but he thought more about killing Mei 4, how to explain to Pan Fu?

Since it is the fox fairy to worship, let the fox fairy bear the blame!

Zhong Wuregret took Mei 4 to the small temple of the fox fairy in Houshan and said to her: "I'm sorry, if you have anything to explain to your family, I will definitely convey it to you." ”

Mei 4 said with a relieved look: "There is no one in my family, the master bought us to raise us since childhood, taught us martial arts, taught us to sleep, and now, everything that should be returned to him has been returned, but my three sisters, without knowing it, also asked the owner to be merciful." ”

"I promise you!" As he spoke, Zhong Wuregret pressed Mei 4's carotid artery, Mei 4 immediately fainted, and Zhong Wuregret used a fighting knife to make two tooth marks on her neck as usual, and let her die in front of the temple with a kneeling position. And left a silk book beside her: "Mortals hurt each other, hate their lives, and see their bodies evilly, so they kill and die." "The gist is: Whoever wants to hurt each other hates that the other is alive and hates the existence of his body, so kill him so that he does not exist in the world.

It is tantamount to a warning to Pan Mansion!

The old man Xiong Ke watched him finish all this and said: "I am not wrong, now, either you kill me or I will kill you, but in this case, you still have a benevolent heart, which shows that once you have real power, you will definitely treat the people of Chu State well in the future."

Once there is a master, I will hand over to you a team of elite soldiers to assist the master, but now my lord is cruel and I really dare not trust each other, you still focus on self-preservation! You remember, no matter what the reason, the monarch who kills as the government is not enough to help the hegemony, and the use of force to supplement the benevolent government is the road I pursue. ”

Zhong Wuregret thanked him again, and the two broke up.

When they first met, the old man Xiong Ke's words about the breakthrough aura of Mei 4 deeply touched Zhong Wuregret. Could it be that the martial arts novels I read before are really about internal strength?

Back at the residence, Zhong Wuregret remembered that the old man had given him a silk map to cultivate according to the picture, but he had not seen it yet, and he felt a little ashamed. He took out the silk map and opened it to take a look, and was not surprised, the first line of the silk map reads "Lianshan Yi Heart Sutra".

Zhong Wuregret often listened to his father say that in ancient times, there were three changes, one was Lianshan, the second was Tibet, and the third was Zhouyi. Among them, "Lianshan" and "Guizang" have rarely been recorded in the classics of the past dynasties for 2,000 years, and the academic community all believes that they have been lost, so these two changes have become a mystery in the field of Chinese culture.

Unexpectedly, this ancient book actually has its own version, he hurriedly looked down, only to see that it was written: "Heaven and earth are no bigger than the wind, the wind and the earth, the earth carries mountains, water, and water, and the wind pushes away from the sky into the sun, and all things are born." The habitat is divided into men and women, one yang is a man, one is a yin and a woman, and the yin and yang are prepared to form a hexagram. Six qi ventilation, divided into four seasons, wind and thunder, all things live ......"

There are also two drawings under the text, one female and one male, on which the meridians of the human body are connected with black dots, and the red line draws the trajectory of the qi machine.

At this time, Zhong Wuregret realized that he had obtained a priceless treasure. Due to the special situation today, he had to make alibi evidence, so he quickly put away the silk map, sprinkled some wine on his body, and drank a few more sips before rushing to the residence of the beautiful maid in Panfu.

Pretending to be drunk, Zhong Wuregret played for a while, and then fell asleep with the three beautiful maids.

Early the next morning, Zhuang Ding came in a panic and woke up Zhong Wuregret, who was sleeping soundly on his pillow, saying that Mei 4 was found dead there in front of the small temple of the fox fairy, and the death was the same as the deceased in the legend of Panfu.

Zhong Wuregret hurriedly asked Zhuang Ding to report the matter of the dead man to the county magistrate, and asked him to send someone to inspect the scene.

Originally, there was no need to report the death of a slave or a slave in a big family, but Mei 4 has a different identity, she is a person sent by Pan Mansion, so Zhong Wuregret does not dare to be careless.

In the afternoon of the same day, rumors spread throughout the county that the "Luming Garden" was haunted.

Zhong Wuregret summoned Mei 1, Mei 2, and Mei 3 together, and said to them with a sad face: "I'm also starting to haunt here, it seems that I am still looking for people from Pan Mansion, you stay here with me, I'm afraid there is a risk of your life, I want to send you back to Pan Mansion for a while, I don't know what you think?" ”

Unexpectedly, the three beautiful maids knelt down in front of him, crying and begging: "Please don't send us back, if the fox fairy wants to kill us, we will admit it, just don't send us back to Pan's mansion." ”

Zhong Wuregret asked carefully, and only then did he know the "unspoken rules" of Pan Mansion.

In Pan's Mansion, although it takes a lot of money to train these beautiful maids and dancing girls, if the guests are not satisfied, they will be immediately dragged down with a cane and killed, and the heavy ones will be stripped naked, trapped in a sack with a cat and mouse, and then beat gongs and drums on the side.

Frightened cats and mice will bite the maid or Mei Ji until they are covered with bruises, especially cats, whose sharp claws often scratch their lower bodies, and then the torturer will then pour salt water on the wounds of the tortured maid or Mei Ji, and they will die in pain, and finally put stones in the sack and sink them to the bottom of the river. Even a specially trained maid like Mei 4 would be tortured like this if she made a mistake.

The maidservants or the maids who are not yet satisfied with the guests are treated like this, not to mention how the maids who are sent back will be treated "preferentially". At this time, Zhong Wuregret knew that although he had been mixed for a long time in the Spring and Autumn Period, many of his thinking was still stuck in the modern century, which made him more vigilant.

He said to the three beautiful maids with great sympathy, "Get up, and if you wish, stay in the Luming Garden." However, here is my person, you can't have two hearts, you stay in Luming Garden, I will never let you suffer for a day. ”

"Thank you, master!" If the three beautiful maids met with amnesty, they quickly got up, and Yingying Yanyan surrounded Zhong Wuregret, touching and pinching, trying their best to please him, so that he could enjoy the blessings.

"Bitterness and hatred are deep, and consciousness is high!" Although he enjoyed it very much, Zhong Wuregret today no longer dared to indulge in the gentle township, and he decided to go to the county to learn about the slave trade first.

When he came to the county, he saw that there were many people selling their sons and daughters as slaves in the streets and alleys, and he wandered around for a long time, not very satisfied, so he simply asked and walked away.

In the families of those who sold their children as slaves, most of them were teenage girls, and few were young and strong, and Zhong Wuregret was very disappointed. This incident hit him very hard, and the original source of troops seemed to be problematic, and he had to establish his own private army as soon as possible, so that his homeland would be more secure.

Maybe you didn't find the way! Just when he was disappointed and was about to go back, a little boy with a thief's eyebrows came up to him and said, "But the guest officer wants to buy Xu Mi?" ”

Zhong Wuregret said: "Yes, but what can these little ones do?" I want someone who can do heavy work. ”

"Xu Mi" is also known as "son-in-law", which is the name of a slave in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Gu Shuyun: "Those who are not qualified will return tired, and the husband thinks that he is a servant." It means that the slave was called because he was implicated in forced labor with ropes.

The little boy looked around and said, "I'll take you somewhere, there must be Xu Mi you need, but can you give a few more copper coins?" ”

"As long as I can buy a suitable Xu Mi, I should pay you more, and I will immediately find Xu Mi who can do heavy work." As he spoke, Zhong Wuregret took out ten copper coins and handed them to him.

The little boy took the money, looking very happy, he took Zhong Wuregret and walked through the alley, and finally came to a dilapidated courtyard and said, "Right here, I'll go in first and say,"

With that, the little boy ran into the yard and disappeared.

"Don't make a cage to earn me." Zhong Wuregret thought of the endless fraud methods in modern society, and he was a little worried, but he also thought that he was fully capable of protecting himself when he encountered ordinary scoundrels, although he was carrying a lot of silver taels, he was not worried.

After a while, the little boy reappeared, and he took Zhong Wuregret to a utility room in the courtyard. The floor of the utility room is covered with straw. He carefully removed the straw on the ground, then lifted a wooden board and said to Zhong Wuregret, "It's down there, go in and have a look!" ”

At this time, Zhong Wuregret didn't dare to take it lightly, in case it was a trap, Zhong Wuregret would find this little boy to bury him at most, it would be worth the loss, he said vigilantly: "Hiding so hidden, shouldn't it be a fugitive slave?" ”

The state of Chu had a very strict control over slaves, and specially formulated the "Servant Area Law", which was a law that did not allow fugitive slaves to be concealed and strictly forbidden to escape. The Law also stipulates that it is not allowed to conceal stolen goods, otherwise it is the same crime as theft.

The little boy said, "Definitely not, otherwise, once I find out, I won't be able to get away with it." ”

Zhong Wuregret thought secretly: "Once you find out from me, you don't know where to run to, where to find you?" ”

Unexpectedly, the little boy patted his chest and promised: "They all have Dan books, which can prove their identity,"

"Danshu" is the slave book, because the slave books are written with cinnabar, so they are all called "Dan book".

Hearing this, Zhong Wuregret was a lot relieved, he just followed the little boy to prepare to go down the ladder, suddenly found that there was a knife light flashing inside, he secretly buckled three flying knives, at this time, he was relieved, what he was afraid of was "closing the door and hitting the dog".

Below, by the light of the hole, he quickly took a look at the environment.

The basement was spacious, and in the corners, seven or eight slaves were chained, and from the scars on their bodies it was evident that they had been tortured, but they all had one thing in common, and although they were very weak, they all had a look of arrogance.

There were three men standing beside them, one of whom was a guy with a full face, looked at Zhong Wuregret and said with a smile: "I heard that you want a few Xu Mi who do heavy work, I have a few here, and I will sell them to you if you want them." ”

After speaking, he threw a few copper coins to the little boy.

Because the light was dim, Zhong Wuregret was ready to go closer, take a closer look at these Xu Mi, as soon as he approached, the guy with a full face immediately shouted: "Danger, don't get close to them." ”

Before the words fell, a chain smashed towards Zhong Wuregret.
