Chapter 11 Buying and Selling Persons
Qing Yao raised his body, and three days later, the army set off, and His Majesty and Qing Yao sat in the carriage.
A person reads a book, and a person's head hurts a little, and his face is pale.
His Majesty looked at Qing Yao's face and asked, "But what's uncomfortable!" ”
Qing Yao frowned: "My head hurts a little!" ”
His Majesty raised his hand and touched Qing Yao's head, which was slightly hot: "Isn't it infected with the wind and cold, stop for a few days to rest!" ”
Qing Yao was embarrassed and hurriedly dodged: "Look at some of those soldiers, they walk on two legs, and I am still in the car without hindrance!" ”
Your Majesty: "How can you compare with those rough men!" ”
Qing Yao: "Rough men also have flesh and blood!" ”
Your Majesty: "You have a good heart!" ”
Qing Yaoyao picked up a handkerchief and covered her mouth: "Ahem!" ”
Your Majesty: "Passing by the infirmary in a moment, I will drink another bowl of decoction to ward off the cold." ”
Qing Yao's little face wrinkled: "It's too bitter, I don't drink it!" ”
It was noon, the army passed by, a small village, and suddenly a woman in disheveled clothes ran out of the village: "Help! He threw himself at the soldier's side, followed by a man with a sinister eyebrow. Holding a big stick, he knelt on the ground when he saw the official.
Zhao Qi'an rode forward: "What's the matter!" ”
His Majesty's carriage heard a commotion in front of him: "Go and see!" ”
Zhang De heard His Majesty's words near the carriage and replied: "Obey orders!" ”
Qing Yao: "Ask what's going on!" ”
Zhang De: "No! ”
Zhang Dece rode his horse in front of the village woman, and there were several soldiers in front of the village woman, a man with a hideous face, a man kneeling on the ground.
Zhang Dele stopped the horse: "What's the matter!" ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly replied: "This is the daughter-in-law I bought, and she doesn't follow me!" ”
The village woman, about fifty years old, kowtowed her head on the ground, looked up and saw Zhang De on the horse, and stepped forward in fright and hugged the horse's thigh: "Please save me, save me." ”
The horse lifted its hooves and kicked the middle-aged woman away.
The woman fell to the ground and vomited blood.
Zhang De was stunned and looked at the sudden event.
Zhao Qi'an, the commander of the forbidden army, stepped forward and shook the whip and whipped Zhang De: "What are you doing stupidly, go and see if you are dead!" ”
The man said angrily: You compensate my daughter-in-law
Zhang De was full of wit: "Go and check, the old woman is still angry, but she is in a coma."
Middle-aged man: "I bought it back for ten taels of silver!" ”
Zhang De casually took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the man.
The man took the silver: "Thank you, Master Jun, and run back the same way!" ”
Zhang De truthfully replied to His Majesty.
Your Majesty: "Send her home!" ”
Qing Yao: "Sold once?" ”
Your Majesty: "Do you want to take it with you?" ”
Qing Yao: "First ask what's going on at home, the homeless concubine took her in!" ”
Zhang De: "No! ”
In a moment, the carriage slowly hit the road again.
There are two sides to the story
Zhang De led a few soldiers into the village carrying the old woman on his back.
The people in the village took a detour when they saw Zhang De wearing an official uniform and an old woman.
Zhang De had a difference in his heart and asked around what was going on
I finally caught a man who didn't slip away.
The man pounced and knelt on the ground: "Master Jun, let go of the little one, the little one is small and the old one is old, and there is an eighty-year-old mother at home!" ”
Zhang De: "This official doesn't eat people!" ”
Man: "Little Liu Jie is the most honest person in the local area, who has never broken the law and done bad things in his life!" ”
Zhang De: "When did the official say that you broke the law!" ”
Xiao Liu lowered his head and trembled like a quail: "The military master didn't break the law, why did you catch the little one!" ”
Zhang De frowned and said, "Ask!" What kind of family is this old woman! ”
Xiao Liu subconsciously looked at Zhang De's black face, and then looked at the old woman carried by another official.
Xiao Liu: "Official, you must be from other places!" ”
Zhang De: "Nonsense, Lao Tzu is not from the field, and he can catch you for questioning!" ”
Xiao Liu shrank his neck and said, "The old woman behind you, my name is Liu Mei!" It is the daughter-in-law bought by Liang Kai in Liangjia Village. ”
Zhang De: "What kind of village is this!" ”
Xiao Liu: "Liujia Village!" Master Jun, the old woman you are carrying on your back is notoriously undesirable! ”
Zhang De: "What do you say! ”
Xiao Liu: "This woman was bought from other places, and she has changed hands to several people, she didn't just run away and commit suicide!" ”
Zhang De: "Where did you buy it from?"
Xiao Liu: "The military master has arrived at the door of Xiao's house, why don't you go in and say!" ”
Zhang De nodded.
Xiao Liu led the three officers and pushed open a dilapidated courtyard gate, and the moment he opened the gate, he was slapped under the fallen gate.
Zhang De looked at the two open courtyard gates, and he thought he had met an assassin.
Xiao Liu trembled and looked at Zhao Siqiang's face, the military master is really sorry, the villain is poor, the door is still someone else's, nail the leftover materials from the toilet, villain, the latter has the cheekiness to come back. ”
Zhang Dewei ignored Xiao Liu, raised his feet and entered the courtyard with three points of caution, and saw the dilapidated earthwork of three and a half rooms, the windows hung on it and were crumbling, and there was a well in the courtyard, which looked quite clean.
Outside the house, the chirping of chicks came from behind the house, and a voice from inside the house: "Who! Out of the room came a trembling old man, who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, dressed in fairly clean clothes, with a lot of patches, a scruffy beard, and a vegetable face.
Without waiting for the old man to speak, a little girl jumped out of the room, looking less than seven or eight years old, wearing a red head rope, wearing a set of gray-blue clothes and pants, slightly thin, but with a pair of bright eyes that were very beautiful.
The little girl looked pretty good, her thin little face was slightly red, her melon seed face, her small mouth, and she looked at Zhang De and her party in a daze.
The old man glanced at Zhang De and his entourage wearing the official mansion, knew that it was the official master, and looked at the Liang family woman who was talking nonsense behind the official master, and sighed in his heart: "The official is not from this place, please come in the house!" ”
Xiao Liu hurriedly stepped forward: "Dad! ”
Little girl: "Why did my brother come back so early today, didn't he say that he would go to the town for a rally and buy meat buns for Miao Miao?" Why didn't you see it! ”
Xiao Liu hurriedly took out a blank paper wrapped in his arms, a small paper bag and handed it to Miao Miao: "My sister and brother bought it back for you!" ”
Zhang De looked at the little girl with a sweet smile and took the paper bag, and Zhang De raised his feet and entered the house.
Huang Kai then followed, went into the house and put the woman on the earthen kang.
Xiao Liu stepped forward and introduced: "Official, this is a little sister!" ”
Zhang De looked around the room, the shabby furniture, the shabby dresser, the worn-out washbasin, the worn-out table, the worn-out chair, and Zhang De sighed.
Although Miao Miao is still a little girl, like a little adult, she went to the kitchen and carefully selected a few bowls, and served cold water to entertain several officials.
Zhang De: "This child is really sensible, my leather boy only knows how to fight when he is so old, and my daughter is really my father's intimate little padded jacket!" ”
The old man took over: "Grass people Liu Ye, the little daughter Liu Miaomiao, is just seven years old this year, and her son Liu Jun. ”
Zhang De took the water handed over by the little girl, took a sip symbolically, and nodded.
Zhang De: "Ask what is going on with this woman!" ”
Liu Ye: "What was sold to our village three years ago, I don't know anything else!" ”
As she spoke, the woman woke up: "My chest hurts! ”
Zhang De: "You have been rescued by us, where do you live at home, I will send you home!" ”
The woman shook her head: "I don't have a home!" ”
Zhang De: "What's going on! ”
Old woman: "My name is Liu Mei, I am a grandmother from a large family, I was framed for stealing Miss's silver, I was sold by the master's family, and I have no children and no daughters!" ”
Zhang De: "Where do you want to go!" ”
Liu Mei: I think, I took a look at Old Man Liu Ye! ”
Liu Ye's old face flushed: "Ahem!" ”
Liu Mei lowered his head and his face was red.
Zhang De saw the strange look between the two and said tentatively: "Now Liu Mei is a self-free body, or you two make do with it!" ”
Liu Ye looked up unnaturally and glanced at Liu Mei.
Liu Mei nodded subconsciously.
Liu Ye lowered his head and said, "Now that we are so old, forget it!" ”
Liu Mei was stunned for a moment, her eyes turned red, and she said in a choked voice: "You are the only one in this village who treats me as a person!" ”
Liu Ye: "It's normal for a village to help each other!" ”
Liu Mei: "Woo woo! "Crying
Liu Ye listened to Liu Mei's crying, and felt a pain in his heart, after all, he didn't want to go against his heart, and said: "Marry!" ”
In the evening, Zhang De and his entourage returned to the send-off procession and reported the experience of His Majesty's wife.
Your Majesty: "Hehe! ”
Qing Yao: "Is it allowed by the country to buy and sell people?" ”
Your Majesty: "National law allows, but the customs are different in each place, and some places do not allow it. ”
Qing Yaoyao was silent.
Zhang De: "I gave the old woman a few dozen taels of silver, I hope she will spend her old age in peace!"
Qing Yao: "Your heart is good!" ”
Your Majesty: "The world is so big, and there are so many people!" ”
Qing Yao secretly made up her mind to obtain supreme power, change this corrupt dynasty, and change the miserable fate of more people.
