"Have you heard what your parents said?"
Su Qianxi cast her gaze on the women who had just begged her for help, "What do you think about this?"
Before they could speak, Su Qianxi continued.
"I can save you, but you have to think clearly. If you choose to follow me, it means that you have to completely separate yourself from your family."
"Answer me after you think about it. I won't have regret medicine here."
"I choose you!!"
As soon as Su Qianxi finished speaking, someone couldn't wait to make a choice.
"Me too."
"I don't want to go back!"
They finally begged Miss Su to relent and rescue them. How could they hesitate at this time! !
Their words clearly angered their parents. They all looked angrily and rolled up their sleeves, regardless of the government officials' obstruction, as if they were going to beat them.
"What did you say, you damn girl? Believe it or not, I will beat you to death."
"You lose money, your wings are stiff, aren't you? You have the guts to say what you just said again!!"
Su Qianxi scolded coldly, "Stop!"
"Oh, it's unreasonable. The official is bullying people."
Parents saw that their daughter had Su Qianxi's support, and they couldn't do anything to Su Qianxi, so they just sat down and started crying and making trouble.
"In broad daylight, you officials robbed women of the people. Is there any justice for you?"
"Princess, this..."
The yamen servant knew that these people were nothing but meat, and when he saw that they were about to start making trouble again, he looked at Su Qianxi helplessly.
They couldn't understand why the princess wanted to get involved in these troubles?
"I won't pay you if you keep arguing."
With one word, Su Qianxi immediately told them to stop making trouble.
"Give me money?"
As soon as they heard it was money, they jumped up from the ground, and some even pushed their daughters and said anxiously.
"My lord, why didn't you tell me earlier? Take a look at my daughter. She is beautiful and has nimble hands and feet. She is a good candidate for work. Take a look at how she is."
"Go away. If you want to be beautiful, it must be my daughter. My daughter is a famous beauty from all over the country. My dear, please see what price is right. I can easily negotiate."
Seeing their faces eager to sell, Su Qianxi snorted in her heart.
"Sell them to me, what price do you want?"
Seeing Su Qianxi asking them to bid, a few people rolled their eyes and immediately said, "Ten taels, no, twenty taels!"
"If you pay twenty taels, you can take this girl away today."
Others also nodded in agreement. Their daughter had been kidnapped by bandits for so many days. It was impossible to marry her to a family willing to pay more as a bride price.
It would be better to sell their daughter to the noble man in front of them for a few years.
A few years later, fewer people knew about it, and their daughter came back. They could find another marriage for their daughter and make another fortune. It was wonderful to think about it! !
"I can give you one hundred taels directly."
Just when they were secretly proud of their good calculation, Su Qianxi's words made them even more excited and their breathing became rapid.
"One...one hundred taels?!"
real or fake?
Did they hear it correctly? !
That’s one hundred taels of silver! !
"But I have conditions. I want their death contract."
Su Qianxi made her request.
"What is the death contract?"
They had only heard of bonds of sale and slavery.
Su Qianxi gave the government servant beside her a look. The other person immediately understood what Su Qianxi meant and took a step forward.
"The so-called death contract is to sell everything you own to the master."
"From now on, they have no parents or relatives, no close friends, and their master is everything to them."
"Death or life, it all depends on the master's thoughts."
"If the master is displeased that day and is beaten to death by the master, the government will not be able to control the person. The person who signed the death contract is just an object that was bought home, not even a person."
In just a few words, it is not difficult to hear how exploitative and harsh this death contract is to the signatories.
If you sign this death contract, you will never be able to stand up again in this life.
But this group of people didn't notice this at all and only focused on their immediate interests.
"You mean, as long as we sign the death contract, we can get one hundred taels of silver?"
"yes."
Su Qianxi nodded and reminded kindly.
"But you have to think about it carefully. If you decide to sell people to me, they will have nothing to do with you anymore. Even if you regret it in the future, you can't use any excuse to come to them."
"Sell it, that's a hundred taels of silver, it's not worth raising her so big!"
Almost as soon as Su Qianxi finished speaking, someone made a decision without any hesitation.
For them, daughters are losers and were raised by other families, while sons are the root of the family.
Selling their daughter can get one hundred taels of silver, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of having children over the years.
Su Qianxi saw that both parties had made their choices, and pointed to a yamen servant, "You go to the prince to get the money, just say that I need it urgently."
"And you guys, go and prepare the things needed to change your household registration."
Under Su Qianxi's instructions, the government officials quickly ran away to do their work. Less than half an hour later, everything Su Qianxi wanted was ready.
"If you think about it, come here and complete all the procedures. You can take the money on the spot."
Looking at the large box full of silver ingots placed in front of Su Qianxi, they couldn't care less about anything else. They were afraid that someone else would lose the money if they were too late, so you pushed me and squeezed into the queue.
After all the formalities were completed, they left with the money in their hands, smiling so hard that they didn't even look at their daughter.
After the last person completed the formalities and took the money and left, Su Qianxi looked at the small half box of silver left, bent down and took one casually.
She waved to the women who were huddled together anxiously. After they came over, Su Qianxi put the silver ingot in her hand into the hand of the leading woman.
"You go find a yard to rent and live in. As for your future arrangements, I will inform you after I have thought about it."
Su Qianxi already had preliminary ideas in her mind about their future arrangements.
But this is not urgent at the moment. The most important thing now is to settle them first to prevent them from living on the streets later.
"Princess, this is the second time you have saved us today."
Looking at the silver ingots in their hands, they looked at each other, knelt down in unison, and bowed devoutly to Su Qianxi.
"No matter what you say in the future, we will obey your words and we will never let you regret your decision to help us today!"
Su Qianxi did not pretend to help them up, nor did she say any lies about showing kindness without expecting repayment.
