one step closer to the end

"You still have the face to bring up the same sect. If I hadn't interceded for you, the Holy Majesty would have cut off your head long ago..."

Xia Buer pointed to his nose and said: "Yin Zhiping! You are talking nonsense, and I am ashamed with you. Because of the last bit of love between you and me, I advise you to be honest. If you dare to intervene in the affairs of this temple, I will make you look good!"

"Bang~"

Xia Buer violently kicked over the table, glared at him and turned away, Zhao Guanren jumped up and shouted, "You ungrateful bastard, let's compete if you can, and see who can catch the snake demon first!"

"Okay! Losers get out of Luoyang City..."

Xia Buer yelled without turning his head, and led people away from the scene in a domineering manner. Bad people ran over to spurn them, and Zhao Guanren also deliberately cursed for a while, and then set up the table to continue the exam, but after a while, he went home There are people again.

"Oh, my lord! Our yard is almost overcrowded, you should go back and have a look..."

Nanny Zhang ran over in a hurry, Zhao Guanren explained to his subordinates in a leisurely manner, led her on the horse and took her out through the back door. The street next door happened to be the biggest market - DT City, so he led the horse and went straight. walk.

"Master! You are really not in a hurry, what do you want to buy, I will bring it back to you..."

Nanny Zhang followed closely behind, Zhao Guanren looked at the sky in the afternoon, and said with a smile: "What's the rush! It's only lively when there are more people, I have to buy two personal maids for myself, otherwise you will only be promiscuous and serve people Not at all!"

"Ha~ We are proficient in playing, playing, playing and singing, but serving the master is really bad..."

Nanny Zhang stepped forward to lead the way, twisting her waist and swinging her hips, and said with a smile: "Don't buy a house prostitute, the little waves have washed the ditches, and they are queuing up to give you relief, buy a pair of beards." Ji and Kunlun slaves fill the scene, and buy two more trained maidservants, it should be almost the same!"

"Hey~ Guanye! Please, we have orchids who have just arrived in the Western Regions, a beauty from Tianzhu..."

A man from a foreign country enthusiastically solicited him. Behind him was a rather large yard. A lot of people were seen standing across the fence. Madam Zhang also said that he was the biggest tooth dealer, that is, the middleman who bought and sold people. Many brothels They all come to him to pick people.

"Choose two maidservants who can enter a rich family, and they must be clean..."

Nanny Zhang walked into the backyard familiarly, and the slaves stood in more than a dozen rows like animals, allowing buyers to judge and choose, and some of them also recommended themselves, but Zhao Guanren is not a baby anymore. Old fritters for sale.

"My lord! You can't do things outside, I have good stuff at the bottom of the box in my room..."

The toothbrush smiled and led him into the room. There were more than a dozen young girls sitting in the room. He pulled up two plump, white and tender girls and said with a smile: "Master! She was trained by a rich family, and she is perfect. You're welcome, let's touch it before we talk about the price!"

"Is there anyone near Mingquan County..."

Zhao Guanren slowly glanced at the girls. His goal of poverty alleviation is Mingquan County, but until now he knew nothing about Mingquan County, but soon a girl raised her hand and said timidly: "My family is Fleeing from Mingquan County!"

"What's your name? How old are you? Is there a drought in Mingquan County..."

Zhao Guanren came forward to look at the other party with a little surprise. The little girl was very handsome, with slender eyebrows, big eyes and bangs. The blue sarong I made was so thin that only a handful of bones remained.

"My family's name is Qiaomei. It's sixteen and a half. My father offended the official and had to escape..."

Qiaomei Chuchu looked at him pitifully, but the teether waved her hand and said: "Master! This girl can't do it. The country girl doesn't know the rules, and she is very hypocritical. She has to sell herself for 50 taels. This one is as thin as a bamboo pole. Ten Both of them are too expensive!"

"Master!"

Qiaomei hurriedly said: "I can endure hardship, I can work, and I don't eat much. Just treat me like an animal. Poor my grandfather and two younger brothers are still begging for food. I want 50 taels for them. Officer! You can do as you please!"

"Okay! Grandpa likes skinny horses, so I bought you..."

Zhao Guanren touched her head with a smile, Qiaomei immediately knelt down and kowtowed excitedly, while the dental prodigy scratched her head in surprise, as if she had been taken advantage of, but still happily accepted the agency fee, and called five The guarantor signed the deed.

"Woo~"

suddenly!

A series of crying sounded from outside, Zhao Guanren turned his head in surprise, and saw a dozen male and female servants of Prince Qing's mansion, as well as the princess who scolded him as a "shameless" the night before, crying together with her princess on his arm. Also holding a thin and tall little girl.

"Huh? Your family is really interesting, do you still want to buy slaves to mourn for you..."

Zhao Guanren walked out with a smile on his face, and the crying of the mother and daughter stopped abruptly. Unexpectedly, King Qing's concubine suddenly rushed towards him, knelt on the ground and begged: "My lord! Please buy us, please Yes, the slave family will definitely serve you well!"

"Ah? You have been assigned as slaves..."

Zhao Guanren almost dropped his jaw in shock. The only person who can send concubines and princesses as slaves can only be the current emperor, but if he wants to sell it, he should be an official slave. He went to this open-air market to sell it to the common people. I deliberately humiliated them, and the trouble I caused was not small...

Chapter 1251 The Concubine

"Lord Pei! What happened? Why was Concubine Qing sent as a slave..."

Zhao Guanren walked away from Princess Qing and walked towards the small official of Dali Temple who had just entered the courtyard. How could he know that the other party waved his hand and said: "Yu Cui is not a concubine, but Prince Qing's concubine, a privately raised concubine, her daughter is of course There is no title either!"

"what?"

Zhao Guanren looked back in surprise, and wondered: "Privately raising a concubine violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but it is also King Zhiqing who wants to be punished. Why did he send his mother and daughter into slavery?"

"Isn't it you, Commander Yin, who poked the basket? Where did the Yujiang King happen yesterday..."

The other party said angrily: "In the past, the people did not raise officials and did not investigate, but King Qing just died because of his concubine, and King Yujiang was almost killed in his concubine's mansion. The Holy One was so angry that he ordered to strictly investigate the situation of privately raising concubines." Things, our Dali Temple is about to break its legs, how many people have offended!"

Zhao Guanren was puzzled and said, "Why did he die because of his concubine again? Didn't King Qing let the snake demon eat him?"

"Yu Cui's daughter is called Li Sheyue, and the investigation of the concubine originally did not involve her children..."

The other party said in a low voice: "But this girl is ignorant of current affairs. She told people everywhere that King Ning colluded with the snake demon, but she couldn't provide evidence, so King Ning sued her in a fit of anger. No, she was sentenced. She's been exiled for three thousand miles, and when she sells her old mother, she'll be on her way tomorrow morning!"

"How much? I bought..."

Zhao Guanren patted his chest without hesitation, Xiaoguan quickly pulled him over and whispered: "You and my brother are also considered robes, this woman can't buy it, if you buy it, you will offend King Ning, and King Ning ordered their mother and daughter to be brought into the brothel." , you buy it back and die?"

"My lord! Let me also remind you, you can't always think of having both ways..."

Zhao Guanren said in a low voice: "Right now, the seven princes are vying for the heir apparent. You must stand in line, or wait to be trampled to death, so the prince will always offend one or two, and King Ning has already caused a commotion. If you don’t pinch him as a soft persimmon, why don’t you meet King Bi, who is strong and strong?”

"You can't say this outside, be careful! Be careful..."

Mr. Pei hurriedly waved his hand, took out a document and said: "If you really want to buy it, I will sell it to you at the official price, and you can reward the yamen with some tea money. Two concubines and domestic servants There are 11 people in total, and the package price is 260 taels of silver!"

"Two concubines? Why is there an extra head..."

Zhao Guanren glanced back and forth in surprise, Master Pei pointed to the tall, thin girl of sixteen or seventeen, and said, "This unlucky girl is Cui Nu's granddaughter, she just came from Yangzhou yesterday, and she took the deed to live in the palace outside the palace, just in time for us Catch a move!"

"This is really cheap for me, brothers, you have worked hard, take it to drink tea..."

Zhao Guanren took out the silver taels to reward the officials one by one, but after paying the banknotes, he blinked again, frowned and said, "I said, Mrs. Pei, Li Sheyue is haunted by evil spirits, if you lock her back to Dali Temple, I'm afraid Everyone will suffer!"

"Oh~ Yin Shuai really has sharp eyes..."

Mr. Pei deliberately said loudly: "I felt that she was wrong before, and I am afraid that she has already entered the body. You might as well write a letter from the town magician and take it away for careful inspection. If there is no problem, return it to our temple and send you into exile. Don’t harm our Dali Temple!”

"This is the duty of my Department of Magic, and this department will take people..."

Zhao Guanren always carried the big seal with him. He smiled and led Mr. Pei into the house, and presented him with a 50 tael silver ticket. The two parties quickly finished writing the official document and stamped each other. This person will be handed over to Zhenmasi. Running away and dying has nothing to do with their Dali Temple.

"Yin Shuai! Li Sheyue is also considered half a county king, you can enjoy it slowly..."

Mr. Pei smiled and left with the bank note in his pocket. Zhao Guanren went out and asked someone to call a carriage, and asked Qiaomei to call her family, but just as he was about to leave, he found that Li Sheyue was in shackles, with shackles on his hands and feet. , but was covered by the large sleeves of the toga.

"Let's go! This officer will take you back to the yamen to exorcise demons..."

Zhao Guanren grabbed the rope on the shackles, and Li Sheyue pitifully let him take it away, completely losing the arrogance of the previous "princess master", staring blankly at the ground, but her mother and niece and daughter were quite Very excited, followed closely with a group of servants.

"Yin Zhiping! Stop, don't go..."

suddenly!

Several officials hurried into the market, followed by Mr. Pei, who went back and forth. Zhao Guanren looked at the strangers suspiciously, and couldn't remember where he offended them. Anyway, something was wrong since the afternoon, and he hated Zhilei's resentment rose.

"Yin Shuai! This way please, I have urgent matters to discuss with you..."

Several officials forcibly dragged him into a restaurant, cleared out the guests on the second floor, and then entered the box, but the leader suddenly said: "Yin Shuai! You can also buy our concubine, and we will pay all the money. How about temporarily fostering with you?"

"Uh~"

Zhao Guanren hesitated and said: "Has your concubine been arrested too, but you are looking for a white glove, no! You can just find a relative or friend to buy it, why are you looking for me?"

"Family and friends are not good, if they are found out, it will be a crime of deceiving the king..."

The other party wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, and said: "Anyway, you have too many lice and are not afraid of biting, even King Ning's enemies dare to buy them, so you pretend that we have offended you, buy our concubine and go back to revenge, we will return Some concubines who have not been found, even the house and slaves will live under your name, okay?"

"My lords..."

Zhao Guanren retreated to sit on the table, and said with a wry smile: "Do you believe in my character so much? What if I pat my ass and refuse to admit it?"

"Believe it! Absolutely believe it. The King of Yujiang is also looking for you everywhere. All his concubines have been arrested, and they will be escorted to sell him soon. He is so anxious that he is about to climb a tree..."

The leader rubbed his hands and smiled apologetically: "My lord said that you are a reliable character, so we naturally believe in your lord, but I would like to trouble you to write an IOU and just convert the concubine's house. It's not that I don't believe you, but If it’s a shrew at home, it’s good to have an explanation!”

"Oh~ I found you..."

King Yujiang suddenly rushed up in a hurry, took out a handful of silver bills and handed them to him, saying: "Go down quickly and buy my concubine, Jin Wuwei and Dali Temple jointly run business, and they won't give me any face." , only if you come forward, it will be a matter of course!"

"Wait! You think I'm a bustard, don't you? Women are all stuffing me..."

Zhao Guanren said dumbfoundedly: "I'm a petty official who is not even an official. It's against the rules to take in so many concubines at once. Let's not talk about it. My house is only such a big place. How can I live with so many women? When the time comes, I will lose one of them and run away." Two, whose is it?"

"You don't need to worry about this matter, they all have servants to take care of them, and the house has been bought for you..."

King Yujiang said: "Don't you live in Pinglefang? We have already bought half of the workshop for you. You just need to take them in. Besides, you are a servant and cannot accept good concubines, but you can buy cheap concubines." There is no stipulation on the number of people, as long as the law does not prohibit it, it is reasonable for you to buy 1!"

"no!"

Zhao Guanren stood up and said, "How can I explain to others? I don't run a brothel?"

"This king robbed your prostitute, you robbed this king's concubine, and by the way, all the adults hated you..."

King Yujiang smiled and said: "Your reputation of stunned head has been spread, and the Holy One will not be surprised to know that, besides, you have set up a formation in the courtyard. It is reasonable for me to go there occasionally to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil. Fast for a few days Is it okay?"

"Master Yin! Your merits are immeasurable, and I can't thank you enough..."

Several officials quickly came up to thank him. Zhao Guanren was still a little unhappy at first, but when they offered generous rewards one after another and said that the concubines and maidservants let him use whatever he wanted, he suddenly felt that although farming was hard, there were more generous people. My friends are also very good.

"Okay! When the limelight passes, you can pick him up, otherwise my reputation will be really bad..."

Zhao Guanren sat down helplessly, and the officials hurriedly brought pens and paper, and gave him the deed of the farmland and house, and asked him to write down the corresponding IOU, but he only realized after looking at the amount that the concubine was not important at all, what was important was These huge amounts of private money.

"Master Yin! I will trouble you too..."

King Yujiang called more than a dozen officials, each of whom had a thick stack of deed papers, and even the big seals of the four major county governments. The house slave gave him, and a special master wrote IOUs to prevent his property from being confiscated after an accident.

"Hey! What's the matter with these men, I don't accept rabbits..."

Zhao Guanren suddenly noticed a group of little white faces coming up, but King Yujiang whispered, "It's not Lord Rabbit, these are the faces of several princesses, they are slaves under your name, and there are still a group of royal relatives who can't be in a hurry. Go to your house and get the contract, you go down first and buy their people!"

"You can't do it like this, the emperor is not a fool, you have to think of a reasonable way..."

Zhao Guanren stuffed all the deed papers into his satchel, led a few fair faces downstairs, and came to the compound of the intermediary dental office to take a look. He almost scared him to death, and thousands of people were arrested A concubine, the house slave who was confiscated together could only squat on the street.

"Deputy Envoy Yin! Here to buy someone again, isn't Prince Qing's mansion not enough for you..."

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple sat behind the table outside the courtyard gate, sipping a bowl of hot tea unhurriedly. This guy was notoriously unselfish, and a group of Jinwu guards stood on both sides. They are all packaged, and there are still people delivering them in a steady stream.

"It's not enough! Isn't this a monster's trouble? I, the Demon Suppressor, have to keep one side safe..."

Zhao Guanren walked to the front of the case and said with a smile: "I have a clever plan to fight poison with poison. I use the blood of a woman to make a blood evil sky yin talisman, which can be pasted on the door to protect against all evils. If it is refined into a thousand yin burst talisman, no matter how strong it is. I can come and kill the demons one by one!"

"What is Yin blood?"

Shaoqing raised his head instinctively, and Zhao Guanren said generously: "It's the Yin blood of women during menstruation. A thousand Yin bursting talisman needs a thousand girls, and a blood evil talisman also needs a hundred, so I have to buy a lot of it." The woman goes back, but she will not hesitate to eliminate harm for the people, even ruining her family!"

"Hum~"

Shaoqing sneered and said, "I've seen your nonsense kung fu, even if you really want to use women's blood to make talismans, buy so many women back, what do you use to support them, you are just a mere servant, so many Where did the silver come from?"

"I borrowed it! When all the adults learned that I was eliminating harm for the people, they donated generously and didn't charge me a cent of interest..."

Zhao Guanren spread his hands and said: "If you don't believe me, you can go and check it. I have written IOUs until I feel soft. Besides, I bought them back for nothing. They have to work for me in the workshop. If you don't want to give generously, don't Stop me from doing business!"

"absurd!"

Shaoqing suddenly shot up at the case, and angrily reprimanded: "I was ordered by the emperor to come to investigate and deal with the private concubine. When did it get in the way of your work? Don't rely on your eloquence to steal and play tricks in front of me." , your deeds are clear in my heart!"

"Xu's surname! If you have real evidence, I will leave it to you..."

Zhao Guanren also slapped the table loudly and said: "If you speak empty words without proof, you are spreading rumors and slandering. You, a young minister of Dali Temple, don't do your business and come here to sell slaves. What kind of emperor's job are you doing? I say you are in the way Damn, you are clearly dereliction of duty and living up to the grace of God!"

Shaoqing lost his composure and roared: "Okay, you evil official, come here! Take it down for me, and beat me hard!"

"Wait! Mr. Yin said something wrong..."

An official jumped out suddenly, and said in surprise: "Your fourth-rank young minister is not doing any business, but came here to be a tooth-buyer, disgraced the court, and failed the grace of the emperor. This censor will definitely join you Ben, dereliction of duty, taking money and breaking the law! Hmph~"

"You, you are working together, working together..."

Shaoqing's face turned green with anger, but immediately another official came out, frowned and said: "Why did Shaoqing insult the Yushi in the street, Mr. Yushi! I can testify for you, I heard him spread rumors and slander!"

"Unreasonable! Shameless, I bah..."

Shaoqing walked away angrily, spat while walking, but Yu Shi coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Shuai Yin! Sorry to trouble you, the woman in Tsing Yi in the corner, I bought everyone around her. I'll send the money to your house later!"

"It's easy to say! You go first, look at my..."
