At the gate of the city, many people waiting to enter the city have gathered on the official road.
Li Dingguo pulls a flatbed truck and queues up with Qiuye to enter the city.
Qiuye looked around curiously and said in a low voice: "great Xia Li, don't you think he is a senior official of Ming Dynasty? Why line up for the city? Just say no to the gatekeeper
Li Dingguo laughed and said: "nowadays, the king of hell is easy to deal with, and the kid is too difficult to deal with. Shen Jianxin's identity is too special. He doesn't know what to say with the guard. Anyway, we're all here, and we're not in a hurry. "
Autumn leaves don't understand, oh, nodded, continue to look around curiously.
"Brother Li, look at those people on the city wall. What are they doing?" Autumn leaves as if to see the western landscape, pointing to the direction of the city wall asked.
Li Dingguo looked in the direction she pointed out, and saw a group of people standing on the side of the wall, all of them children and young women, with straw signs around their necks and various prices written in ink.
"Those... Should be the children of poor families who have no money to support and sell them to merchants as slaves." Li Dingguo frowned, some did not know how to explain.
Qiuye widened her eyes and whispered: "isn't that the same as our Jurchen? The defeated clan will be sold as slaves. I didn't think there would be such things in your Ming Dynasty! Don't their parents care? "
Li Dingguo had to shake his head and sigh: "the chaos of the country, the people are as cheap as grass, their parents and family are forced to have no choice but to sell a few to support the rest."
Autumn leaf heart has feeling, immediately thought of for oneself sacrifice frost leaf elder sister, immediately bow head not language.
Two people push flat car, with the flow of people slowly into the city.
At this time, a fat businessman with a big stomach and several men came to the gate of the city. They first picked around the wall and didn't seem to see anything desirable. Then they turned their eyes on the people entering the city.
The fat businessman seemed to be familiar with the city guard. His eyes swept around the people who entered the city. At last, he fell on Li Dingguo and Qiuye. To be exact, it fell on Qiuye's face.
The fat merchant with a big belly gave a few orders, and several of his men rushed to them.
The team entering the city was in a panic. When everyone saw that they were going for the man and woman pushing the flatbed car, they calmed down a little.
When Li Dingguo saw this situation, he immediately frowned.
Among the visitors, the first one was a sharp mouthed servant, who walked around them two times and confirmed that they were ragged. At first sight, they were the untouchables with no identity. Then they cried out: "Hello! That black strong man, our shopkeeper wants you to come over and discuss some things. "
Li Dingguo's thick eyebrows showed slightly and said faintly, "I don't know you. There's nothing to discuss."
As soon as this remark came out, the people around them all gave their thumbs up in their hearts. They said that the man was hard and upright. Although he was poor, he was very poor.
The sharp mouthed servant snorted and sneered twice, and said, "yo! Poor man's temper is not small? I don't think you need to clean up, do you? If you don't have a toast, you'll have to pay for it? "
After these words were uttered, several servants stepped forward at the same time, looking at each other. They had the posture that they had to fight if they didn't agree with each other.
Li Dingguo wandered in the rivers and lakes all the year round. He knew all these dirty ways and immediately cried out, "this is the territory under the jurisdiction of the city gate officer. Do you want to make trouble? Disturb the order of entering the city
The voice was loud enough that it was hard for the soldiers who guarded the gate to hear it.
They turned their eyes on the fat businessman and signaled to him to pay attention to the influence.
The fat businessman frowned and came running unsteadily.
"You little bastards, ask you to invite someone to talk to you, will you? Will it? "
As he spoke, the fat man pounded the servants on the head, which made them jump.
After knocking on his head for a while, the fat man took out a silk towel from his arms and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"My friend, what's your name?" The fat merchant said with a smile.
Li Dingguo light way: "exempt your surname Li."
"Do you know who I am?" The fat businessman said with a smile.
Li Dingguo shook his head and frowned.
"I'm the sixth manager of Du's business. I'm responsible for half of the business in tangzhou." The fat man said with pride.
Li Dingguo nodded to show that he heard.
"I didn't come out this time for my own business, but to help my friend find a pretty maid for his family. Do you understand? " Fat six shopkeeper said saliva flying, and finally asked a question.
Li Dingguo frowned and shook his head again.
"Ha ha! It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I'm a businessman. I have the most patience. I can explain it to you slowly. My friend's family is one of the best in southern Xinjiang. As long as you are willing to send the girl around you, I promise that she will wear gold and silver, be popular and drink spicy, and have everything. "
"How's it going? Can you make an offer? " The sixth shopkeeper laughs.
In his opinion, the man who pulled the cart was poor. They didn't even have decent clothes. Besides, there was one lying on the cart. Most of them were seriously ill. How could such a man have the right to choose.
The sixth shopkeeper even thinks that he is doing a good deed in public and is a Bodhisattva's heart to save people's lives.
The people around nodded their heads. In their opinion, the man met a noble man. He was so poor that it was reasonable for him to sell his daughter-in-law for a good price.
There are even people who are envious that the poor man can have such a beautiful girl with him. Seeing that the sixth shopkeeper has an eye on them, they immediately feel a lot more fair.
"What's the price?" Li Dingguo shook his head with a wooden face.
The six shopkeeper's displeasure flashed away, and continued to smile: "I mean, you sell me the girl around you, and I'll take him to the mansion to be a servant girl to enjoy happiness!"
Li Dingguo is also a character who comes across in a sea of fire. He has a sense of awe inspiring. He glanced at the fat man and said, "don't sell it!"
