Slaves, one for slaves, two for servants.

Servants are generally ordinary people who are employed, and servants who do chores in some large families, although they are also subordinates, have their own human rights.

Slaves are different.

It is not surprising that they were of a low status, had no freedom, and were arbitrarily driven, and even some of the more distinguished slaves were used for gifts, trade, or arbitrary killing. Therefore, those who become slaves are often persecuted or do it of their own volition.

In the laws of the Great Zhou, there were four sources of slaves.

Slightly better, some poor people sold their wives and children, or sold themselves into slavery. This kind of slave, when he arrives at the master's house, although he is also the lowest pariah, is not too bullied.

The other is more fortunate that some good-looking slaves are favored by the master of the family, or a certain son, and have a child born after pregnancy. Although this kind of child is born a slave, he may one day soar and climb the branches. Therefore, this kind of slave is the most offended, and other subordinates will be more polite to him.

The saddest thing is that there are two left.

The first is the slaves of the defeated and the country, most of these people were the wives and concubines and children of large aristocratic families before, so even if they were reduced to slavery, they also had a sense of arrogance.

The second is the sinner and his family, who may be born lowly or relegated ministers for some reason, and the situation is more complicated.

And these two slaves are the most pitiful.

Generally speaking, the first two types of slaves had the opportunity to be redeemed. The last two are almost a slave for the rest of their lives and can never be turned over. In addition, he is a guilty person, so he also belongs to the worst category of bullying in the master's family, and the kind of slaves who give gifts and trade between dignitaries and nobles are also mostly these two categories.

The strong know how to control and drive the weak, but the weak don't want to resist, and they don't understand the truth that the prince and the prince will have a kind of reason. But if they are just resigned to the status quo, they will bully and suppress the weaker, which is the sorrow of the weak.

It's just a pity that throughout the ages, this kind of person has not been lacking in every dynasty.

For example, there are many of them in the Su Mansion now.

"Li Mujun, take this swill and pour it, and then brush the toilet later!" Su Sheng called the housekeeper over, and the two of them trembled and led Mo Jun to the backyard, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard a loud shout.

Mo Jun narrowed his eyes, followed the prestige, and saw a girl about sixteen years old standing out in the crowd. She was dressed in a short brown cloth of ill-fitting coarse cloth, with her sleeves rolled up high, and at a glance she could see a lot of bruises on her arms and calves, her long hair was tied back in a big braid, and her whole oval face was white but dirty, as if it had not been properly washed in a long time.

At this moment, she was carrying a swill bucket in each hand, and walked silently towards Mo Jun with her head down.

Generally, the maidservants of large families also have to go out to meet people, so they are dressed cleanly, dressed beautifully, and give the owner a long face. And Li Mujun is obviously a slave who stays in the backyard and does rough work, and he is the slave with the lowest status.

When Li Mujun walked past the group of servant girls who were watching the excitement on the side, the first housekeeper who was a little older and a little out of shape sneered, glanced at her with disgust, raised her foot and kicked over.

"Slut who doesn't know how to be polite, didn't he teach you the rules?

The servants, who were busy with other things, couldn't help but look at each other, some snickering, some expressionless, and some sighing softly in sympathy. It's just that they can't do anything and won't do it.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, it happened to kick Li Mujun's buttocks, and not long ago, she was hit by the board in that part.

Li Mujun was in pain, turned his head and glared at the housekeeper's wife fiercely.

Seeing this, the housekeeper's wife raised her hand and slapped her in the face, and cursed incessantly: "Little hoof has learned to stare at people?

Su Sheng, who was hiding on the side, suddenly became anxious when he saw this, and was about to rush out to stop it, but Mo Jun next to him stopped him.

"General, this ......" Su Sheng didn't know what Mo Jun meant, his heart jumped up and down, and he couldn't be at peace. He didn't know what Li Qing's daughter had to do with Mo Jun, but he really didn't want to offend Mo Jun because of this matter, or leave a bad impression on him. ”

Seeing that Su Sheng looked like he was about to cry, Mo Jun just smiled and said with relief: "It's okay, Master Su doesn't have to be so panicked." ”

On the other side, some servants couldn't stand it anymore, and opened their mouths to persuade: "Sister Liu, forget it, forget it." ”

It's just that Sister Liu heard someone persuade her, and she became more and more energetic, and scolded: "You don't know, the old lady saw this fox spirit with her own eyes when she fed the horses yesterday, and she frowned at our master, and she was shameless......!

Mo Jun blinked and looked at Su Sheng, who shook his head desperately to show his innocence.

After Sister Liu finished scolding, she was still unsatisfied, glanced at the burning stick standing next to her, and had evil thoughts, and grabbed it as soon as she stretched out her hand.

Li Mujun covered his face with his arms, but he was still slapped by Sister Liu, and the corners of his mouth were still slapped at the beginning, and he only felt dizzy and tinnitus at the moment. Seeing that she picked up the stick again, her body trembled with fear, gritted her teeth, hurriedly pushed Sister Liu, and ran out.

The wooden barrel fell to the ground, and the swill was spilled on the ground, and Sister Liu was pushed unexpectedly, accidentally slipped, and sat on the ground with her buttocks, and got wet.

"Arrest this slut! The old lady is going to kill her today!" Sister Liu shouted hysterically, her face distorted with anger.

She is the aunt of Su Sheng's concubine, and she took advantage of this to have an errand to manage the backyard.

Li Mujun ran forward desperately like a frightened rabbit, and glanced back from time to time.

In the rear, many thugs have chased after them with their boards.

"Who is that Sister Liu!, Lao Tzu will clean him up again!" Su Sheng gritted his teeth, turned his head to look at the chief housekeeper beside him, and scolded in a low voice.

The housekeeper wanted to cry without tears: "Master, that's your concubine's aunt!"

Su Sheng was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered this matter when he patted his head. More than two months ago, his concubine seemed to have told him such a thing, and he was happy at the time, and he agreed without going through his head, and he didn't expect it to be a big disaster now.

In the blink of an eye, Li Mujun turned a corner, bypassed the rockery, and saw three big men standing by the door. One is his own master, the other is the big housekeeper, and there is a ...... I don't know!

Li Mujun was stunned for a moment, he couldn't stop the car under his feet, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he crashed into Mo Jun.

Mo Jun caught the poor girl in front of him steadily, his eyes narrowed, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he looked at the servants who were chasing after him, as well as the panting and scolding Sister Liu.

The group of people was obviously stunned for a moment, and involuntarily stopped, they didn't expect that there were still three people hiding here.

Mo Jun gently patted the girl who buried her head in his chest as a sign of comfort, and then the corners of his mouth twitched and sneered.

"Who are you going to kill?"
