I'm a marquis in Datang

Mrs. Zheng nodded, and continued: "It's getting late, you should rest early and take good care of your body. These days, let Liu Jian cook more delicious food to replenish your body."

Liu Jian said: "Yes!"

Zheng stood up and walked out.

Du Qi let out a sigh of relief after sending Zheng Shi away.Facing Zheng Shi, he was under great pressure, because he couldn't see Zheng Shi crying, and his heart was very sour.

Du Qi still asked Liu Jian to be responsible for copying the books, and after arranging Liu Jian's affairs, he went to rest early.

After all, I am not feeling well.

Tired easily.

Because of his injury, Du Qi didn't go out for the time being, and Mrs. Zheng came here often, so Du Qi spent five or six days recuperating at home during this period.Except for sending books to the palace every day, he never went out.

After the wound had healed, Du Qicai took Liu Jian and Mo Ledo out of Du's house and went to the tea shop.

Du Qi saw Qianxue often. After all, Qianxue was at the tea shop during the day and returned to Du's house to rest at night.Qianxue was concerned about Du Qi's injury, and after asking about it, she was relieved to learn that Du Qi's injury had recovered a lot.

Du Qi stayed in the tea shop for a while, then went to the restaurant.

Today's bookstore is operating normally.

Even, Qian Zailai has opened a new bookstore in a nearby county town and started selling books on a large scale.Du Qi went to the restaurant and went straight to the backyard of the restaurant to rest.

Jin Wuque came again.

The last time Du Qi was injured because of the assassination, Jin Wuque was quite ashamed.

After all, it happened in a restaurant.

Jin Wuque talked about the business of the restaurant recently, and now the business of the restaurant is booming and getting better and better.In particular, Du Qi asked the beggars in Chang'an City to solicit customers everywhere, which made the restaurant's business so good that countless merchants came to the restaurant.

As a result, the business is very good.

After Jin Wuque finished his report, Zhong Laoba from the restaurant entered again.After he entered, he said respectfully, "My lord, a man named Xue Cong came outside the restaurant, and he said he came for Morado."

Xue Cong is a businessman.

Zhong Laoba explained the reason for Xue Cong's visit, and said: "Xue Cong, because I want to see you, I have already had him searched. He has no blade or weapon. So, you don't have to worry about him. safety."

In view of Du Qi's assassination, Zhong Laoba stepped up his search.Especially when it comes to Du Qi, because he has learned from the past, he dare not be careless.

Du Qidao: "Bring people in!"

"Yes!"

When Zhong Laoba got the order, he went to deliver the order.

After a while, Xue Cong entered.

Xue Cong was in his early forties, with a fat body and a short physique.Especially the protruding belly, as if she was six months pregnant, so naive.

But this person's eyes were extremely clear, and while walking, the eyeballs rolled slowly, revealing agility.

At first glance, he is an astute person.

After Xue Cong stood still, he bowed to Du Qi and said, "Xue Cong, I have met Mr. Du."

Du Qi stared at Xue Cong, and said seriously: "Don't be restrained, Your Excellency said yes

Come for Morado.I don't know, what's the relationship between you and Morado? "

Xue Cong took out a contract from his sleeve, handed it to Du Qi, and said solemnly: "Mr. Du, I am a businessman. In business, Mr. Du, this is the contract of Moredo." .”

Du Qi took it and looked carefully. It was indeed the contract of Moredo's prostitution contract, and there were fingerprints on it.

Du Qi frowned.

Because according to Moredo, on his way to Chang'an, he encountered a battle near Luoyang, and all the people accompanying him were killed or injured.Especially the businessman he worked with was dead.

Under such a premise, Moredo's contract should have been destroyed long ago, and it is impossible for it to still exist.

Du Qi was puzzled.

Du Qi waved his hand and ordered: "Mo Ledo, come here!"

"Yes!"

Moredo went up, and he stood in front of Du Qi, saw Du Qi handing the contract to Moredo, and asked, "Look, is this a contract belonging to you?"

"Yes!"

Moredo nodded.

However, Mo Ledo said seriously: "Young master, I don't know this businessman. Moreover, our businessman was named Qiu Xing at that time. He died on the spot and then released us. But I don't understand this contract. .”

Hearing this, Du Qi turned to look at Xue Cong, and said, "Your Excellency, you should have heard what Moredo said just now. Qiu Xing is already dead. They are already free people and are not bound."

Xue Cong had a gentle smile on his fat face, and he said without any haste: "Young Master Du, what Moredo said is indeed true. But the problem is that when Qiu Xing got Moredo and other slaves, he had already given away all the slaves. People resold them. As soon as they entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty, people like Moredo were already slaves in my shop. Therefore, I have his slavery contract."

brush!

Mo Ledo's face changed slightly when he heard the words.

He followed Du Qi, and as Du Qi's personal guard, he was never treated harshly by Du Qi.Not only that, he followed Du Qi, whether it was food or lodging, it was excellent, and he still had regular money every month.

This is what Moledo is most pleased with.

But now, once Xue Cong takes him away, what will happen to him?

It's unknown, but Moredo can be sure that it is absolutely impossible to have a comfortable life now.

Moredo knelt down with a plop, and said, "My lord, I don't want to leave, I just want to follow you."

He doesn't want to leave.

He wanted to follow Du Qi all the time.

Du Qi held the Moredo contract, stroked it lightly, and said, "Master Xue, since you are a businessman, I'm talking about business. Since you have the Moredo contract, I won't say anything else. In a word, as much as Mo Le has, I will buy it."

"It won't work!"

Xue Cong shook his head and said, "Young Master Du, someone has reserved Moredo."

Du Qi said, "Who made the reservation?"

Xue Cong shook his head and said, "This is confidential and cannot be disclosed. Please forgive me, Mr. Du."
