Zhao Sheng can barely be regarded as a counselor under Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian. This man and Chen Deng were from the same hometown, but they were both from Xiapi County, but Zhao Sheng did not have Chen Deng's ability.
Under Tao Qian, he could only manage to work as a small Shaofu, helping to manage money and use it, which was equivalent to the functional department that merged the Finance Department and the Purchasing Department in later generations.
However, the position of Shaofu is at most the financial director of a regional branch, and the wealth he can control is no more than a county.
This time Tao Qian asked him to come to Hedong County, with the intention of letting him purchase a batch of Longshan iron tires to make weapons.
However, Zhao Sheng had a crooked idea along the way. Relying on his strong military strength, he actually started a business in Renyazi, hoping to make some extra money.
Satellite City No. 3. The stewards beat Zhao Liuer to pieces, put together the information they obtained, and submitted it to the North Guards Station.
Tian Feng frowned. In fact, the slave trade has existed since ancient times, and it is all public.
only……
"Young master doesn't like this. It seems that some people are going to be in trouble." Tian Feng handed the information to the steward on the side and ordered: "Immediately send someone to Sanyuwashe in the south of the city to arrest this Zhao Sheng." After the steward took it, he respectfully He bowed his hand.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a steward walked in at the door.
"Master Landlord, the guard station in the east of the city came to report that the shopkeeper of Tangchi reported that someone was selling female slaves in the city. She had already found out where the other party lived and agreed to meet at Sanyu House in the south of the city in the afternoon." Tian Feng's expression changed and he frowned: " Shopkeeper Zhang?" The steward nodded slightly, glanced at the strange-looking colleague next to Tian Feng, and asked curiously: "It was indeed shopkeeper Zhang who reported it, but what's wrong?" Tian Feng twisted his beard and shook his head, smiling: "What a coincidence. Let’s get it together.” Chengnan.
The so-called Three Fish House is just because the store hung three wooden boards carved into swimming fish under the eaves at the entrance, hence the name.
As the immigrant population increases, the living environment in the inner city becomes tense, and the business of Wase is naturally very good.
The tile house is only 500 to 600 square meters. If the store owner is a little more sinister, it can accommodate seven to eight hundred people at the same time.
The bunk in the hall on the first floor can accommodate more than 300 people. In the stables in the backyard and the private rooms on the second floor, there were two-story canopy beds in ancient times, and some even had five floors. People could park on the bed and lie down on it. It's almost the same in the coffin.
At this time, in the private room on the second floor. Zhao Sheng squinted his triangular eyes, frowned and asked: "Liu'er hasn't come back yet?" Several soldiers sitting opposite nodded at the same time, one of them looked taller and said in a strange way: "Morning I just told him that outside the city there are some mud-legged people and they are all poor, so he wants to go, and that kid will definitely be able to sell it for a big price." Zhao Sheng was very unhappy with the big man's teasing words. But he didn't show it, after all, the other party was now his partner.
The reason why they were able to grab so many women was thanks to the complicity of this big man. A middle-aged man next to him picked up the sea bowl, took a sip of the turbid wine happily, and said with a smile: "Hey, how much can we make this time?" Several people looked at Zhao Sheng at the same time.
Zhao Sheng narrowed his eyes. Zhao Liu'er was his nephew. If his nephew was away at this time, these people would share the accounts. Obviously they didn't want Zhao Liu'er to get another share.
However, he just hesitated for a moment, then smiled sinisterly and said: "If we can sell all those people, at least we will have 70,000 to 80,000 copper coins, and the six of us will share it..."
"Wait a minute." The big man suddenly interrupted him, pointed to the box next door, and said in a deep voice: "Let me keep the mother and daughter. This is what we agreed." Zhao Sheng looked up at the big man and frowned. Said: "That mother and daughter are both of the highest quality, worth at least 20,000 copper coins. Compared with them, other goods are not even as good as a finger." Zhao Sheng's words made the soldiers next to him take a deep breath. At the same time, he looked at the big man with disdain.
The big man was stunned, stretched out his hand to hold the saber at his waist, and sneered: "Why, I discovered the man, and you have any objections to my actions?" When Zhao Sheng saw that everyone united with him, he immediately gained courage and Looking at the big man, he said: "You seem to have forgotten that if it weren't for Zhao Liu'er, you wouldn't have known that the three of them were hiding in the cellar." The big man raised his thick eyebrows, and the movements of his hands were slightly tilted forward. It's his little habit of drawing swords.
The few soldiers nearby frowned when they saw the two men at war with each other. The big man's appearance is a bit ugly. Although the mother and daughter are good-looking, for safety reasons, it is best to sell them here. If they are taken back to Xuzhou, there will be endless troubles... Especially that woman, she is very dangerous.
Just when the scene reached a stalemate. Knock, knock, knock, someone knocked on the door from outside. Zhao Sheng asked impatiently: "Who is it?" The flattering voice of the boy sounded outside,
"Dear guest, the shopkeeper asked me to bring up a basin of the freshly made hot soup."
"No, take it away."
"Hey, no, bring it in. I just want to soak my feet." It was just a basin of hot soup. Zhao Sheng motioned for him to help himself and focused on the big man again. As for the middle-aged man who opened the door... …‘Bang’!
"Don't move at all." As soon as the middle-aged man opened the door bolt, the door was kicked open from the outside, and then seven or eight fully armed city guards rushed in.
The sharp Eight-sided Han Sword was pointed directly at the faces of Zhao Sheng and others, and the big man instinctively drew out the saber.
What greeted him was the stern gaze of the squad leader,
"If you miss, just try moving." The man next door said. The same scene was also happening. There was only one soldier in the box who was responsible for guarding the female slaves, and the rest were more than a dozen disheveled women.
"Third brother, what are you looking at? Come over and help."
"Ah, oh, here, come here, come here." The unusual behavior of the city guard member attracted the attention of several colleagues nearby, and everyone looked at him. No, perhaps more accurately, it was the member of the team. Help the woman who stood up.
The woman looked to be no more than twenty-seven or eighty-years-old. She was wearing a light green dress with wisps of osmanthus branches and auspicious clouds embroidered on the cuffs. A beautiful flower knot was tied around her waist in pink silk. Her chest was wrapped with a wide placket and snow-capped flowers. The dot of cinnabar on the peak is extremely eye-catching.
Yangliu has a slender waist and pink skin. She may have worn the long skirt for many days, but it can't cover up her plump and graceful figure. She is too fat and too thin. Just at first glance, it is impossible to hide her plump and graceful figure. Look away.
The woman bowed to the city guards with a calm expression, she seemed to be a well-educated person. She gently pushed the hair on her forehead behind her ears. Just such a movement made several bachelors in the city guard look dumbfounded.
None of them had much education, and at this moment they thought of one thing: Taite's mother is so beautiful!
"Daughter of the common people, Mrs. Du, I would like to thank the military masters for saving my life."
