A middle-aged couple in their thirties with three children. The eldest and the second are both sons, one is seventeen years old and the other is fifteen years old; The third is a daughter, 12 years old.

A family of five turned out to be tenant farmers, and they had a hard time, but they could get by. But then the man in the family had a serious illness and had no money to treat, relatives and friends were poor and couldn't borrow money, and the eldest son borrowed usury debts behind his parents' back in order to save his father.

Later, the man recovered from his illness, but the family had a loan shark that he could not pay off for the rest of his life, and the eldest son was beaten up by the loan collector.

There is no way, the family has to sell themselves and use the money from the sale to pay off the loan sharks, so that they can survive. Sadly, the loan shark that his eldest son borrowed was only two taels of silver.

After selling himself, although he lost his freedom, it was much better than the days when he ate the last meal and did not eat the next meal, and the wild vegetables continued his life for half a year.

Many of the slaves that Zhao Ruxi bought were for the same reason. A person who has a land and a house can still sell his land and house when he is sick; Tenant farmers who have no land or houses can only sell themselves.

"How about the people you bought?"

"It's good, honest, very diligent, and able to endure hardships." Xu Xue said, "My father also asked me to thank you." We moved in a hurry because we added this family. Even if the west chamber is squeezed, they can still live there. But there is a difference between men and women, and my mother said that it is not good for me to live in the same courtyard with them. ”

There are two young men in that house.

Zhao Ruxi nodded, seeing that it was almost time for Xu Xue to go to class, she asked again, "How are you going back to school at night?" If you're not in a hurry, just come to the academy and wait for me, and we'll go back in a car. ”

"My dad bought a mule cart, and in addition to delivering food, he would come and pick me up at school at night." Xu Xuedao.

Zhao Ruxi was relieved when he heard this: "The time is coming, you go back to the academy quickly, and I will let Qingfeng and Uncle Gao send you over." ”

Xu Xue didn't refuse, drank all the tea at hand, waved to Zhao Ruxi, and went with Qingfeng.

Zhao Ruxi went to the art academy.

There are already several people in the academy painting.

Wu Zong called Zhao Ruxi to his side and said to her, "Senior sister, the case in Yangcheng has been investigated." In fact, within a few days of your portrait being delivered, the officials found out the whereabouts of the murderer and pursued him. After chasing for a few days, he was arrested, tried and reported, and sent to the capital a little later. They say that your portrait is almost exactly like a real person, which is amazing. It's also thanks to your portrait, otherwise if you don't catch him in time, another family will almost be wiped out. ”

"It's good to catch it, it's good to catch it." Zhao Ruxi also remembered this matter. Now that I heard that the criminal was caught, my heart was finally relaxed.

"What the hell is going on? How could that man kill such a family that is all women? She asked curiously.

Wu Zong told her this, and only said vaguely: "That person has something wrong in his heart, he was abused by his stepmother and stepsister when he was young, and he hates all women. Later, in order to seize the family property, his stepmother did not marry him at the age of 20, but gave his 18-year-old brother a wife. In the midst of the conflict, he killed his stepmother and stepsister...... I got a kind of psychological satisfaction, and from then on it was out of control. ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "I see." She has seen many such cases in modern times, and guessed that this is also the reason.

Serial murders are often committed by people with distorted psychology and high intelligence.

"Now that the case is closed, do you still want Sun Jiawang? If you want, I'll bring it to you tomorrow. ”

"Senior brother thinks that his character is reliable, so bring it to me. Just put him on the Zhuangzi to train with the newly bought subordinates. Zhao Ruxi said.

She asked again, "How much, I'll give it to you now." ”

"A tael of silver."

"So cheap?" Zhao Ruxi was surprised.

The subordinate she bought a few days ago, because she had high requirements, were all up to ten taels of silver. Those who can read and write are more than twenty taels. Like Zhou Chun, it was thirty-five taels of silver, and his wife was thirty-two taels.

Although Sun Jiawang is young and may not be literate, he can look at his cleverness, no matter how clever he is, he will not be more than one or two silver.

One or two pieces of silver, for these people, is the number of rewards that are given out casually. But for Sun Jiawang, he bought all his life's freedom, and it was sad to think about it.

Wu Zong bowed: "What we sell here is at this price." You must know that it is all related to the case, and ordinary people don't dare to buy this kind of person, because they are worried that this person will be involved in the case and get into trouble. ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded, took out a tael of silver and gave it to Wu Zong: "Then please ask Senior Brother." ”

Wu Zong gave the silver to Wu An: "Go, go to Dali Temple and bring Sun Jiawang here." ”

Half an hour later, Sun Jiawang came, kowtowed to Zhao Ruxi, and said, "Please give the girl a name." The villain's original name was given by the original master's family, and the villain wanted to change his name."

Thinking about his original owner who was killed all over the house, Zhao Ruxi can understand his mood very well.

With a new name, you can forget the last thing you want to remember.

She asked, "What was your original name?" ”

"The villain didn't have a big name, and the nickname was Ergouzi."

Well, that does have to be one.

Zhao Ruxi thought for a while, "You call Zhao Jiawang first, and when you confirm the errand, I will give you a new one." ”

The subordinates in the Suiping Bo Mansion all have a unified name, such as the "Qing" generation, all of whom entered the mansion in the same batch. Later, they came to their respective posts, and then they were given names by their masters. If the master is too lazy to change it, he will keep calling his original name.

Kang Shilin, who was next to him, couldn't listen to it anymore, and slapped Zhao Ruxi's head: "Don't mess around." It was originally called Sun Jiawang, but the Sun family fell into bad luck. What else do you dare to play Zhao Jiawang at this time? I don't think you're going to want to. ”

Zhao Ruxi really wanted to do ideological work with his master, and told him not to engage in feudal superstition.

But she coaxed!

She shrank her head, smiled at the master, and then said to Sun Jiawang: "Then let's call Xiao Ming first." ”

Forget the haze of the past, and the future life is bright. This is her blessing to the child in front of her. The name Xiao Ming is extremely ordinary, but as a random name that will be replaced soon, it is enough.

"Thank you, girl."

Xiao Ming obviously liked his new name very much, and knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to Zhao Ruxi, and then got up.

"Master, senior brother, if there is nothing to do here, I will go to Zhuangzi." Zhao Ruxi stood up.

She wants to take Xiao Ming to the Zhuangzi and train with those newcomers.

A few days ago, she went to Zhuangzi every day, and later saw that Ma Sheng and Zhou Chun took care of the group of people in Zhuangzi properly, so she didn't go every day, but only once every other day, mainly to observe the situation of this group of people with her own eyes.
