Wei Shuo stayed in Houguan County for seven or eight days, and did the work of purchasing ships and recruiting shipwrights for seven or seven or eight times, before taking Cao Hong and three sea ships on the return voyage. His luck was not bad, he did not encounter bad weather when he returned home, and he went all the way north from Jin'an County, until he crossed the sea near the mouth of the Yangtze River, and Wei Shuo encountered some trouble.

In fact, it was not much trouble, in the sea area twenty nautical miles away from the mouth of the Yangtze River, Wei Shuo and they encountered a human trafficking ship. The ship was supposed to go to Wuxing County, but for some reason, it broke down when it was about to reach the shore.

Originally, Wei Shuo didn't plan to intervene, but when he learned that the ship was full of exiles from the Northland who had been taken captive, he felt that he couldn't stand idly by. For the elite convoy soldiers, dealing with a dozen or so human trafficking thieves is just a piece of cake. In less than a stick of incense, even the boat and the people became Wei Shuo's trophies.

When Wei Shuo boarded the traffickers' ship, the entire ship was controlled by the escorts, and except for a few traffickers who died, the rest of the traffickers were tied up and thrown on the deck. The blood on the deck had been washed away with water, and the dead bodies had been thrown into the sea by the escorts.

"Have you asked where the traffickers came from?"

"Lord Qiyu, I asked clearly." Cao Hong's face was a little not good, and when he saw Wei Shuo's question, he hurriedly replied: "These traffickers are all from the Jiangdong family, and they are responsible for luring some women who have lost their parents from the north, and then transporting them to Jiangdong and selling them to local wealthy families as slaves and maids. ”

"Humanity is abominable! It's really hateful! Wei Shuo's face turned pale when he heard this, he never thought that the source of all this evil would come from the family. The people of the Northland were already suffering enough, and they even had their own people stabbing them in the back.

"My lord, what should we do with these people?" Cao Hong asked, pointing to the captives squatting on the deck.

"Throw it into the sea and feed the fish!" Wei Shuo waved his hand and said coldly.

"Ah, spare your life! Spare your life! We don't dare anymore! ”

"Spare your life!"

"Spare your life!"

When the captives heard this, they immediately became anxious, and they began to cry one after another. But Wei Shuo didn't have a trace of pity for them, no matter what, Wei Shuo couldn't tolerate them selling their own people, if they trafficked the natives of other countries, he might still open the net.

Seeing that their own adults did not say anything, the members of the escort team next to them no longer hesitated, grabbed the limbs of the captives, and threw them into the sea one after another, regardless of the struggles of the other party.

After disposing of the waste, Wei Shuo went to the cabin to look at the people who had been trafficked by human traffickers, and saw that the narrow cabin was crowded with nearly 60 young men and women. As soon as the cabin opened, the people inside exclaimed, and when they saw that it was a strange young man who came in, the people inside were shocked.

Seeing this, Wei Shuo hurriedly comforted: "Don't be afraid, in Xia Wei Shuo, it was Xuzhou Bing Cao who was engaged, and unfortunately encountered a robber who trafficked people at sea, and just saved you, and now you are saved." ”

When the men and women in the cabin heard that the traffickers outside had been wiped out, they became excited, and some even couldn't help but cry in low voices. Only a girl heard that Wei Shuo was a soldier in Xuzhou and Cao Zhen's eyes suddenly shot a fine light, and the corners of her mouth seemed to move, but in the end she didn't say anything.

At this time, the guards stepped forward to help the people from the crowded cabin to the deck, and some people brought some food and water from the ship's storage room for them to eat and drink. The rescued people were obviously hungry, and they couldn't care so much, so they squatted on the deck and gobbled up.

The most eye-catching among the rescued people is one of the bright-eyed and bright-toothed girls, she is completely different from the others, she eats very elegantly, even if she is very hungry, she swallows in small bites, and she does not forget to observe Wei Shuo sitting in the first place while eating.

Wei Shuo didn't know that this girl's identity was not a simple person, and no one expected that the dignified princess of the Jin Kingdom would be reduced to the point of being a slave.

This girl is none other than Princess Sima Yan, the fourth daughter of Emperor Jin Hui and Queen Yang. When Luoyang City was broken, she fled from Luoyang with her clan relatives, but unfortunately she was separated from her family on the way and was sold to Jiangdong at a very low price. Originally, she thought that she could not escape the fate of being a slave and a maid, but she didn't expect to be saved by Wei Shuo halfway.

Maybe Wei Shuo didn't know that he had inadvertently changed the fate of Princess Qinghe. According to the original historical development, in the future, Princess Qinghe will be sold to the Qian Wen family in Wuxing County as a slave and maid, and will be abused by Qian Wen's daughter.

Qian Wen's daughter has been pampered since she was a child, and she is selfish and domineering, especially to the servants and maids around her. is even more arrogant, either beating or scolding. After Qian Wen bought the princess, he gave her to his beloved daughter as a girl. This was the beginning of the most miserable and humble life of the princess's life.

Princess Qinghe was born with a dignified appearance, inherited the beauty of Queen Sheep, and every step is very charming, which is a kind of bearing that is beyond the reach of the small jasper. This made the rich girl jealous, and she asked the princess about her identity before she was sold, but the smart princess avoided talking about it.

The money girl is quite cold to the princess. At every turn, he sent her to do this and that, and if she was not careful, she would be whipped with a whip, locked in a dark room, and not eaten or drunk for several days and nights. The princess was lonely and unaccompanied. You can only knock out your teeth and swallow them in your stomach.

Later, Emperor Yuan of Jin restored the Jin Dynasty in Jiangnan, known as the Eastern Jin Dynasty in history.

When Princess Qinghe heard the news, she seemed to grasp a glimmer of hope in the dark. When the money girl sent her out to buy fat powder, she took advantage of the unpreparedness, escaped from the fire pit, went through a lot of hardships, arrived at the capital, and asked to see the son of heaven.

However, the guards at the door saw that she was dressed in rags and a slave, and did not believe that she was the daughter of the former Emperor Hui of Jin. After she swore an oath, the guards were skeptical and finally agreed to report their revenge.

In front of Emperor Jin Yuan, the princess wept and told about the upheaval and suffering over the years. Emperor Yuan lamented the misfortune of the princess, and was even more angry that Qian Wen and his daughter had mistreated the princess so much. He ordered Qian Wen and his daughter to be taken to death row.

Soon, Emperor Yuan of Jin changed the title of Princess Qinghe to Princess Linhai and married Zongzheng Cao Tong. The life of the princess has finally cleared away. Her experience of being sold into slavery as a princess is also unique in history, and she died at the age of 71.

At this time, Wei Shuo didn't realize that he had saved a princess, he smiled and asked everyone present, "Who are you waiting for?" Do you have any relatives at home? If you have relatives to take refuge, when you come to Xuzhou in the future, you can let you go to your relatives. If you don't have a place to go, don't worry. ”

"Now Zhuqi County is implementing the Juntian Decree and the Slave Release Order, as long as you are over 15 years old, both men and women can get their own land. As long as you don't dislike it, you can go to the county government to apply. ”

Wei Shuo's words suddenly made the eyes of dozens of young men and women present shine, most of them were poor people who were homeless by the Hu people, and they were captured and enslaved because of misfortune, and now there is a place to be a new person, how can you not want to?

"Master Wei, are you telling the truth? Farming in Xuzhou, aren't you afraid that the Hu people will kill you? A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes plucked up his courage to ask.

Cao Hong pursed his lips disdainfully and replied instead of Wei Shuo: "Of course it's true, in order to settle the displaced people who fled from all over Xuzhou, Lord Wei has offended the landlords and heroes of Zhuqi County a lot. As for the Hu people? Hum! If my family doesn't go to them for trouble, they will have to burn high incense, how dare they come to provoke my family. ”

"Bragging!" Suddenly, a crisp voice came out, and it turned out that Princess Qinghe couldn't see it before she spoke sarcastically.

"Bragging?" Cao Hong glared at the other party and said unconvinced: "Little girl, you say I'm bragging?" Do you know who we are? It is the famous General Zu Ti who saw my family is also polite, not long ago in the battle of Liuxian, my family and General Zu worked together to eliminate three thousand Hu cavalry in a battle. ”

"Later, my family took soldiers to cover a large number of people to retreat to the eastern coast of Xuzhou, and on the way, they also competed with Hu Cai, and rescued Lord Thorn Shi from under Hu Cai's iron hooves. Now when those Hu people mention the Xuzhou spearmen, there is no one who is not afraid. The Xuzhou spearmen were trained by my family. ”

Cao Hong's words suddenly caused a commotion among everyone, the Hu people have become a nightmare for the Han people over the years, in the past, everyone heard the news of the defeat of the imperial army, but now there is a Jin army to eliminate the Hu cavalry head-on, how can it not be surprising? Even Princess Qinghe was shocked, and her wonderful eyes swept over Wei Shuo's body.
