132, Wolf Child
Glen.
In order to arrive at Jinjiang as soon as possible, Pei Qi and his party rushed to the road for one day and one night, and at this time, the sky was already dark again.
"Xu Chi." Pei Qi poked his head out to look at the sky, and ordered: "When you get out of the valley, you will find an inn in Chaozhou to stay, and leave tomorrow morning." ”
Xu Chi nodded: "Yes." ”
Although these journeys are nothing to their three hundred shadow guards, the national teacher is always a woman, and it doesn't hurt to take a break.
He gave the order, and the person driving in front of him knew it and immediately increased the speed.
It's just that the world is changeable, and accidents can happen at any time.
When approaching Chaozhou, Pei Qi heard a scolding and strife, accompanied by a short whip from time to time.
Pei Qi was about to ask what was going on, but he saw Xu Chi stop the convoy, and he went to roughly investigate the situation.
When he came back, Xu Chi stood in front of the car and whispered: "The people in front should be farmers who often come to the valley to hunt, today they went into the mountains and accidentally caught a wolf child, and they wanted to take it to the store in Chaozhou to make a lot of money, but they were escaped by this wolf child halfway. ”
Pei Qi listened, his brows furrowed more and more.
Wolf children?
In layman's terms, it is a baby who has been abandoned by his parents since he was a child, and a child who grows up alone in the mountains and grows up with wolves and beasts.
However, wasn't the buying and selling of children already forbidden by the first emperor? Even if it's a wolf child, it's a child.
She remembered that several stores were seized at that time and a large group of people were punished, why did there still be such a store in Chaozhou?
How unreasonable!
Pei Qi got out of the carriage and strode forward, only to see that the group of hunters were still raising the whips in their hands and slamming them at the red-marked, unkempt wolf child.
"Stop!"
As Pei Qi shouted, Xu Chi didn't know when there was an extra stone in his hand, and he quickly threw it at the hunter with the whip.
The hunter only felt a pain in his wrist, followed by a feeling of numbness, he snorted, lowered his head to hold his hand, and then looked at Pei Qi viciously in the direction of the sound.
"You little just now!?" When his wrist eased slightly, the Orion picked up the whip and prepared to step forward, but when he noticed the shadow guard behind her, he immediately paused, and cursed, "Who are you?" Nosy isn't it! ”
Pei Qi snorted coldly, but smiled kindly on his face: "We just went to Chaozhou and passed by here, but we saw Your Excellency beating and scolding this kid, I don't know what mistake he made to make Your Excellency so aggressive?" ”
"You can handle it!" Before the Orion could speak, the thin man standing beside him holding the iron chain opened his mouth, Xu saw that Pei Qirou was weak and there was no threat, and his tone was even more arrogant: "I advise you not to get involved in our Brother Zhao's affairs, otherwise you will be in a hurry with the brothers, and even you will be arrested and sold!" ”
The look of displeasure flashed in Pei Qi's eyes, and it seemed that this group of people was not just ordinary hunters.
Rather, he is a habitual offender of human trafficking.
I didn't expect to encounter such things during my trip to Jinjiang.
If she hadn't met her, she wouldn't have been able to ignore it.
Pei Qi took a few steps forward and looked at the lean man with a smile: "Since the few people are going to sell this child after all, you might as well consider selling it to me directly, this child, I want it." ”
One of these people is counted as one, and they are not smart, they are nothing more than making money by providing "goods" to people, but they are afraid that they are not even the people at the bottom of the store.
But what she wanted to know was where the group was going to send the "goods".
When Brother Zhao heard this, his eyes, which were still full of hostility, eased slightly, but he didn't believe that Pei Qi would really buy him, so he had to ask tentatively: "What are you buying this wolf child for?" ”
Pei Qi paused, he had long expected him to ask such a question, and countless reasons flashed in his mind.
She said without blushing and without a beat: "I can't hide it, I went to Chaozhou from the imperial capital just to visit my old friend who I haven't seen for many years, he has a strange nature, and he picks gifts very much, but ......"
"But he has a quirk, he likes to watch slaves fight with beasts in private, this wolf child seems to be inhuman, presumably as a gift to him, he must have more ways to play."
With Pei Qi's words, Brother Zhao involuntarily showed some timidity, not believing that such a ridiculous thing could make her a harmless girl say it expressionlessly, but he has been doing this for many years, and those rich people have more or less strange habits, so Pei Qi's words, he naturally believes it.
This money is not earned in vain.
Thinking of this, he looked at Pei Qi: "Little girl, how much money are you going to pay for this wolf child?" ”
Pei Qi hooked his lips slightly.
Hooked.
She thought for a moment, then slowly stretched out a finger and looked at him with a faint smile.
"One hundred taels?" Brother Zhao's eyes lit up, this little girl is really atmospheric, you know, the one in Chaozhou is only giving fifty taels!
Pei Qi pursed his lips, couldn't help but be a little funny, and shook his head gently.
A hundred taels? Think beautifully.
"A thousand taels??" The lean man also stepped forward, his mouth wide open in disbelief.
Even Xu Chi, who was beside him, unconsciously looked at Pei Qi when he heard this.
He knew that the National Teacher's Mansion was wealthy, and he also knew that Pei Qi was not a stingy person, but he could give this group of evil men so much silver, isn't it a bit ......
What a waste of money?
It's just that he doesn't know Pei Qi's character, if Jiang Lingfeng was here, he might have turned his back and smiled secretly.
Pei Qi shook his head again, and then opened his mouth unhurriedly.
"One or two."
"Handed over into ......".
Brother Zhao shook his head again when he saw Pei Qi, thinking that she would give a higher offer, and was thinking about shouting for a deal, but after hearing the "one or two" clearly, he immediately held back.
After realizing that he had been tricked, he was angry and scolded angrily: "You fuck, play Lao Tzu, right? ”
Seeing this, Xu Chi didn't expect Pei Qi to be playing with them at all, and after reacting, the group of hunters already wanted to ask for an explanation.
I didn't expect that this national teacher would deceive people......
"Looks like a few people aren't happy with my offer." Pei Qi withdrew his hand, and the smile on his face was even worse, but there was an inexplicable coolness in that smile.
"But it doesn't matter, the price is still negotiable, but it's just ......"
"I'm going to talk to the guy next to me."
When the words fell, Pei Qi glanced at Xu Chi and hooked the corners of his mouth: "Then bother Leader Xu, and negotiate a price that can satisfy them with these 'good' on my behalf." ”
Knowing what Pei Qi meant, Xu Chi raised his eyes and looked at the few people led by Brother Zhao, and while walking forward, he clenched his fists on his chest and squeaked.
"Subordinate...... Commanded. ”
