I turned and walked away.

Xiao Lizi looked at me in confusion.

I said, "Lie to him, so that he may serve the emperor faithfully." ”

Xiao Lizi suddenly realized.

The four cylinders have arrived, and it's finally time to get down to business.

Inside were hundreds of eunuchs and hundreds of palace maids, all of whom were of the lowest rank.

What bad things can they do? It's almost like breaking a plate, sleeping in, or simply being too thin, too fat, too lazy, too old, or sick, or simply too many people in the palace, cleaning up randomly.

Even in the last stages of their lives, they were oppressed by the jailers and then oppressed against each other. I saw that the overlords inside were warmly dressed and well-fed, while the others were unclothed and yellow-skinned.

Those palace maids were even more pitiful, with pale thin faces under their burnt yellow hair, and some clothes that they didn't have to wear.

I'm angry, these are all charming girls! And she's a girl from the Shi clan! Each of them is more beautiful and delicate than Zhao Xingyue, but now like pigs in a pigsty, even a steamed bun can make them do anything!

I'm so angry that I want to hit those eunuchs and guards!

But another thought popped into my restless mind. What if they're ugly old women? What if they were men? Will I still be indignant? Isn't it possible for people who are not beautiful and delicate to be abused and insulted? Am I also a vulgar person? What are the rules of this world?

I'm thinking about it so much!

Xiao Lizi must have seen the strange change in my expression, so he said to me, "My lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

I said, "It's okay, I'll name you." ”

I took out the list and read it out, read one, and it answered once, and my voice was very hesitant and weak. Fourteen people responded, but one did not respond.

I read it over and over again, but the last one still didn't respond.

Fourteen palace maids stood behind the fence gate, and they were so badly devastated that they could only be described in one word - "still alive".

I asked them, "Where did you run away alone?" ”

Some of them had frightened expressions, and it made me understand that something terrible had happened to her.

I was thinking about how to get them out and how to negotiate with Xiao Lizi, when Xiao Lizi shouted to them: "Don't come out quickly!" ”

The jailer next to him opened the door and got them out.

There are also a few people who are reluctant, they don't know what terrible things await them in the future, maybe it is more terrible than death.

Xiao Lizi said, "Hurry up!" ”

He kicked the ladies a few times. It reminds me of going to buy something, and as soon as I ask for a price, the profiteer immediately dismantles the thing and then has to sell it to you. It seems that today is going well, now it is just a matter of price, not whether to sell or not.

Xiao Lizi got them out, smiled at me, and said, "How beautiful and affordable these palace maids are!" You can do anything! ”

He complimented him on how valuable his goods were, and then said, "How much do you have to pay?" ”

How do I know what the market price is!

Although I brought 100,000 gold dollars, I couldn't make a high price first. If I say high, then he obviously knows that these palace maids are very important, then it will be troublesome. The most troublesome thing is not that he raises the price, but that he does not dare to sell.

I said, "I don't want an extra one at the market price." ”

Xiao Lizi showed a pretended thinking expression, and said: "This is a palace maid selected by the whole country, how can those low-level female slaves in the market compare with them?" ”

He stretched out his thumb: "This price, can't it be less?" ”

Thumb is ten meaning, meaning 1,000 gold dollars or 10,000 gold dollars?

I had no choice but to bargain and stretch out the sign of eight, which means "eight", and as for "what eight", you can guess for yourself.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I think adults really like it, eight gold yuan is eight gold yuan!" A total of 120 gold dollars. But when I say gold dollars, I don't mean paper gold dollars, so it's four hundred and eighty paper gold dollars. That's the lowest market price! ”

Much less than I thought!

I have 100,000 gold dollars in my pocket, and I don't need it at all.

I took out the money from my left pocket, counted five and gave it to Xiao Lizi.

He put it away, hehe, laughing, completely looking like he didn't want to look for money.

I wanted him to find money, but I didn't want to act too much, so that's it.

I suddenly remembered the missing palace maid, and I asked, "What about another palace maid?" ”

Xiao Lizi scratched and said, "Dead people are a common thing, maybe they are dead, right?" Why don't you just pick another one? Or will I find her and send it to you? I could give you another one for free, okay? Why don't you buy a few more? Look at these, how strong, how beautiful! ”

Hundreds of palace maids stretched out their hands from the fence and begged me, they knelt down and begged me, shouting at me, but I really couldn't help it, not that I felt sorry for the money of hundreds of palace maids, I had 100,000 paper gold dollars on me. The question is, where do I put these hundreds of palace maids? There are so many people, as long as one leaks the news, not only will they all die, but I will also die.

I thought: I met them by chance, so I can assume that I didn't meet them, so I don't have to blame myself, because I can't save all the poor people in this world, and I'm not God!

I asked Xiao Lizi weakly: "Do you do this in prison, does the palace care?" ”

Xiao Lizi said: "They are all immortal people, they are all people who anger the harem, and no one cares about them." The death sentence depends on the corpse, they are not even the death penalty, they have long been forgotten! Their list has been removed from the roster, and they are considered to be non-existent. Why did the palace find a person who didn't exist? Isn't that uncomfortable? Even if they escape and are discovered, the people above are 'dumb and eat coptis, and they can't tell if they have bitterness'. But, hehe, it's better not to let others know. ”

I walked all the way with my head down.

When I passed by the second cylinder, I saw the little plum in the ground again, and he was lying on his back on the ground looking at me. I continued walking.

I thought about Xiao Lizi all the way, and when I was about to reach the prison gate, I said to Xiao Lizi beside me: "I want another person, the little plum in the second tube, to send it over together." ”

The service of the Royal Prison Department is really nothing to say, these people were put in garbage cans and transported out, all the way out of Chang'an City.

Later, Dongfang Mingyue met them and arranged them into her mother's Dongfang Shifu. She thanked me in every way.

That little plum also worked in Dongfang's house, and he thanked me in every way, and I said to him, "Don't thank me, I just make myself feel better." I didn't want to save you, but when I saw you lying on your back, I remembered that I had been lying like that, and you had tucked the quilt for me. We are an equal exchange, nothing more. ”

……

Later, when something happened, I realized that the jailers had wronged me! A few years later, the imperial court investigated a case in which the eunuch of the royal prison sold the palace maid who was sentenced to death to the Qinglou in Xi'an County, and a palace maid only needed one gold yuan! One gold dollar! They actually sold me eight gold dollars!

These brutes! Scum! Profiteer!
