It was still early at this moment, they drove the carriage and did not leave Anping Town, but went to the Yamen.There is a Yazi in the yamen who specializes in human trafficking, and what An Xuan told An Rubao early in the morning was to buy some servants in the town to go back.Although An Hua has never bought it, he is quite calm about it. Although An Rubao looks calm on the surface, he is really awkward on the inside. After all, in the place where he lived in his previous life, it is rare to see such people who buy and sell people as goods.

The yamen in the town are very small. If it weren't for the plaque hanging above the gate, it would look like an ordinary house at first glance.The two of them inquired about Yazi's location and looked for it.

Yazi in the yamen is a man in his forties, with a long face, triangular eyes, thin brows and thin lips, and wrinkles on his face when he smiles. When An Rubao explained his purpose, Yazi clapped his hands and smiled and said, "This young master is really lucky." , It just happened that the county just sent a few criminals yesterday, they haven’t been picked yet, and they are locked up in the backyard, I’ll take you to have a look, you pick them yourself, five taels of silver per person.”

An Hua said with a sullen face, "Don't you think we brothers don't know the market? When will you buy someone for five taels?" Nayazi hurriedly said: "I don't dare to lie to the two young masters, the goods here are really good. , you'll know if it's worth it after a while." He led the way and led the two of them to the backyard.

It is said to be a yamen, but in fact it is only a courtyard with three entrances. Yazi led the two people to the third entrance, and saw two servants standing at the door of the right wing. The business is done, and I will invite people to drink later." Na Yazi teased them a few times, then turned to An Hua and said, "Everyone is locked here." He told them to open the door.

The house was not too big, and it was divided into two rooms, with a long and narrow corridor in the middle, and a door was opened on the wall on both sides, and a fence was nailed to the door.That tooth led them to the door on the left first.

Before he got close, an indescribable smell rushed towards his face, An Rubao got closer, and took two steps back, covered his mouth and nose after a while, and leaned over to the fence to have a look.

All the people locked up here are grandpas. For fear that the people inside would escape, wooden slats were nailed to the windows of the house. The sunlight only shines into the house through the gaps between the slats, and you can roughly see the situation inside. I saw some hay spread on the ground, a few people in ragged clothes sat or stood near the door, I saw people coming and watching, and some of them were motionless. Most of them had dull eyes and a numb expression of resignation.

The other Guan Geer's room was not much better, An Rubao looked at it for a while, and said to Na Yazi: "Ask them, if there is a cook in there, someone who can cook is fine." The Yazi agreed. With a sound, he said to the brothers: "Did you hear that? This young master wants to find a cook, who has done it?" The oldest of those brothers was about thirty, and the youngest was an adult. The oldest one raised his hand tremblingly, and said: "I... I have never been a cook, but I can cook, I..." Before he finished speaking, there were two or three other brothers scrambling for it. Dao can cook.

An Rubao looked carefully at the eyes of the older brother, and saw that although his face was dirty, it was much cleaner than the others, and his hair was neatly combed, An Rubao nodded secretly, pointing at the brother Said to Na Yazi: "Just him."

Na Yazi said: "Young master really has vision." He opened the door and called the brother out. The other brothers all showed disappointed expressions on their faces, looking at An Rubao and An Hua anxiously. Rubao turned her face away and looked away.

The brother was called out, still a little dazed, Yazi said: "This young master said that he wants to buy you, why don't you hurry up and present to the young master." Then the brother lightly gave An Hua and An Rubao two strokes Respect, An Rubao waved his hand, and turned to the room on the left.He also wants to buy a grandfather who can not only do some heavy work, but also take care of the home.

Seeing him like this, the brother suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and said, "Master, please buy the villain's Lang Guan and the child."

That Yazi frowned, and just about to scold, he heard An Rubao say, "Stand up and show me who is your Langguan." , hurriedly got up, walked to the door, pointed to a black figure in the corner farthest from the door and said: "That's him." Then he shouted: "I'm in charge."

The black figure was sitting with his back to the door, and when he heard his husband's voice, he turned around abruptly, only then did An Rubao realize that the father was holding a child in his arms, the child was unkempt and thin You are small, but when you see your aunt, your big eyes immediately shine brightly, and you are about to fall to the ground after struggling.

The old man stood up holding him, he didn't look like he was sitting, but now he stood up very tall, the top of his head was almost touching the ceiling, and he was very burly, making the already narrow space even more It is cramped.

Among other things, An Rubao was very satisfied with this head alone, but when the man walked to the door with the child in his arms, his expression froze, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he looked the man up and down again. Fan, the father only has his own husband in his eyes, and he doesn't care about it.

An Rubao lowered his head and thought for a moment, then Fang raised his head and said to Na Yazi: "Just the three of them."

Na Yazi sold three people at once, which is considered a big deal in this small Anping Town, and immediately smiled and asked the two people waiting at the door to come over, opened the fence gate, and called out the father.

The father bowed his head and walked out, put the child on the ground, first hugged his husband tightly, and then looked at An Hua and An Rubao.His face was unshaven and covered with dirt, and he couldn't see his face at all, only a pair of leopard eyes were burning.

His husband said: "This is the young master who bought us." Looking at An Rubao, the master's eyes flickered, but he was not polite, and only said: "Thank you, young master."

That Yazi was about to lead them to the front yard to go through the formalities, seeing him being so rude, he shouted: "How can you be so rude, this young master will be... just... forget it, come with me." He couldn't help speeding up his steps A few minutes later, just as he was talking, the grandfather gave him a cold look, which was not very vicious, but it made goose bumps all over his body instantly, and the cold sweat dripped down, and he couldn't say the rest of the words .

The procedures for this kind of human trafficking are not complicated, only when paying, the tooth costs 15 taels, Anhua snorted coldly, and said: "You set a half-old child to be as tall as an adult, you really think us Brother is being taken advantage of, ten taels is a lot, and we won't give more than a penny."

That Yazi really saw that the two of them were young and wanted to make a fortune. He didn't know that An Hua had been in business for many years.

The intention was seen through by An Hua, and Na Yazi resentfully said: "I see that the two young masters are also good people, ten taels is ten taels, this small right should be given away." He said and handed over the deeds of their family of three to An Ru Bao said: "This is their deed of sale, the young master took it away." An Rubao gave the money, Na Yazi took out the paperwork, both parties signed on it, Na Yazi said "It's done", An Hua and An Rubao took the family of three out of the Yamen.

The three members of this family have been imprisoned for a period of time, and their bodies are extremely filthy. They are officials and servants who have been demoted for crimes. They all have the words "Servants" tattooed on their hands. They are not afraid of them running away. First I found a place for them to wash up, and bought some clothes for them to change into.When they got dressed and came out, the brother was fine, but the man had thick eyebrows and big eyes and was very heroic, with a rigidity all over his body, without the slightest look of a servant.

An Rubao squinted his eyes, further affirmed his guess, and said calmly: "Since everything is packed, let's go, there are still many things at home." The brother bowed his head and answered, "Yes ", but the grandfather only nodded.

Several people got into the carriage, An Rubao whispered a few words to Anhua, followed the three into the carriage, Anhua whipped his whip, and the carriage drove out of the town.

The carriage is not spacious, three adults and one child are a bit crowded, the family of three sits by the door, An Rubao sits upright in the main seat, his eyes flicker over them, and then fall on the man.The man looked back at him without showing any weakness.

An Rubao already knew from the deed of selling himself that this man's name is Xing Shan, his husband Lang Fangqi, and their child's name is Xing Xiaohu.

An Rubao said expressionlessly: "I bought you, so I didn't ask about your backgrounds, and I didn't want to know what you did. From now on, you will be my family's servants. I have to explain some things in advance. My family is Generally, farmers have a few acres of land, a mountain, not many people, and not many jobs. My father and mother are all charitable people. As long as you work hard, you will not lose you, but if you have anything Don't blame me for being rude."

Xing Shan's eyes narrowed slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Fang Qi stretched out his hand and squeezed his waist. He grinned in pain, and heard his husband say: "Young master bought our family with good intentions, and from now on, the young master's family will be ours. Master, we will serve with all our heart and will never have any other thoughts."

While speaking, he squeezed his man's waist again, Xing Shan curled his lips, and repeated what his husband said, but his attitude was perfunctory, An Rubao didn't care, and nodded.

Xing Xiaohu sat between his father and his mother, his big eyes glaring at An Rubao, Xing Xiaohu is a young man, he looks younger than Song Yi and An Ruyu, looks like his An Rubao has always liked children very much. Seeing him staring at him all the time, his face softened, and he asked him, "Why do you keep staring at me?"

Fang Qi had also heard about some big families before, and knew that some masters had a bad temper and often beat and scolded their servants, thinking that Xing Xiaohu had offended An Rubao, and when he got over Xing Xiaohu, he would kowtow to beg for mercy. An Rubao sighed in his heart, stopped him, and saw that Xing Xiaohu had already been frightened by his aunt's actions, and stared at him blankly, tears rolling in his eyes.

An Rubao stretched out his hand to touch his face, smiled at him, and said, "Don't be afraid." Then he said to the panicked place: "You don't need to panic, I won't do anything to him, there are two people in the family who are with him. Children who are about the same age will have to play together in the future, there is a school in the village, if you want, you can send him to study, as I said, as long as you work hard, I will not treat you badly."

After these days, Fang Qi and Xing Shan have already seen the warmth and coldness of the world. In their hearts, An Rubao's words are just to induce them to work hard, no different from white wolves with empty gloves. I don't believe it at all.

An Rubaoju didn't know what they were thinking, and didn't care. Seeing that Xing Xiaohu was still in shock, he took out a few pieces of snacks he bought for the children in the family and handed them to him.Xing Xiaohu has not eaten decent food for a long time since he was sold by his father and aunt, let alone dim sum, he licked his lips greedily for the smell of the dim sum, but he dared not take it, and looked at his aunt eagerly.

Fang Qi was saddened by his look, nodded slightly, Xing Xiaohu smiled through his tears, took the dim sum and started to gobble it up, and he ate the dry dim sum too fast, hiccupping because of choking, An Rubao looked at him Uncomfortable, he handed the water bottle to Fang Qi and asked him to feed the child water. Fang frowned and asked Xing Shan, "You...the yamen didn't give you food?"

Xing Shan snorted coldly and said, "We are all servants waiting to be sold. They just want to sell us for a good price and give us a bowl of porridge every day, as long as we don't starve to death." Looking at Xing Xiaohu There was a bit of distress in his eyes.

An Rubao was silent, took out all the snacks, opened them, put them in front of Xing Shan and Fang Qi, and said, "I won't be able to eat for a while when I get home, so you should make some snacks first."

This was something Xing Shan and Fang Qi didn't expect. Looking at the exquisite snacks in front of them, and then looking at An Rubao, even Xing Shan was a little overwhelmed. Without looking at the faces of the two, he got up and walked out of the carriage.
