On one side, a middle-aged woman wearing linen clothes held a little girl in her arms. She fell to the ground and cried and begged for mercy to the man who was beating them: "Don't... don't hit!"
The girl in her arms was also curled up, sobbing hoarsely in a low voice. Her little body was covered with scratches and old blood stains.
"Pooh!"
A tall, thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks spat, and shook his sore wrist from the whip.
"You can't handle even small things! I'll beat you two sons of bitches to death!"
The surrounding crowd formed a small group, watching all this without any intention of stopping it. Most people watched the scene indifferently. They would not risk it for two cheap slaves.
Tang Sufan walked over and saw the mother and daughter lying on the ground.
The man put the whip back on his waist and said jokingly and arrogantly: "You won't have anything to eat today."
As the steward of this slave market, and as a foreigner of the Cui family, he naturally has this right.
"Please, Manager Cui, please give my child a mouthful of food. The child has not eaten for two days."
The woman got up with difficulty and continued to apologize to Manager Cui who beat them with tears on her face.
"Still want to eat?"
Cui Qiao smiled coldly and took off the whip from his waist, just as he was about to give the mother and daughter another whip.
Tang Sufan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shouted directly: "Wait a minute!"
Cui Qiao was furious. He wanted to see who dared to challenge him in this slave market?
He turned around and saw a handsome young man with an extraordinary temperament behind him.
Although he didn't think that those young people would come to the slave market to see the slaves in person, but this guy didn't look like he came from an ordinary family, so it was best not to offend him rashly.
Although Cui Qiao felt uncomfortable, he still did not have an attack and asked sharply: "What? What does this young master do?"
"Why hit them?"
Cui Qiao raised his head and said contemptuously: "We are just two slaves, why can't we beat them?"
Tang Sufan asked coldly: "Then what did they commit?"
Cui Qiao was upset by the tone of the question, and slowly replied: "As long as I let this girl bring me a cup of tea, I'll give her an advantage by giving her two whips."
"It's just a cup of tea, is this the punishment? Isn't it too much?"
Tang Sufan looked at the little girl curled up in her mother's arms. Her face was pale, her hands and feet were weak, and she was trembling uncontrollably. However, she was still sobbing weakly and calling mother, mother...
This scene was like a steel needle nailed into Tang Sufan's heart.
Cui Qiao looked sideways at Tang Sufan. After a while, Cui Qiao looked at Tang Sufan's entire body.
Wearing a futou without a jade ring on the head is generally not seen in wealthy families who strictly observe etiquette.
Secondly, the jade pendant around this kid's waist is just an ordinary thing on the market, and he is not dressed as a scholar, so this kid's status is not high, maybe he is just a descendant of Shang Su.
Cui Qiao felt certain in his heart, and immediately said in an unhappy tone: "What's too much? Punishing slaves is reasonable and legal. Even if you follow the laws of the court, you can't control it. I don't know which family you are from, why are you here to meddle in others' business?"
Although Tang Sufan considered himself not a good person, he couldn't stand beating a mother and son like this.
Tang Sufan suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "One of them is legal and the other is beyond your control, but they, mother and son, are not your slaves. Why do you beat them?"
Generally speaking, by this time, other children with real status would have already announced their family status.
When Cui Qiao saw that he didn't report his family status, he knew that this kid was just a big-tailed wolf. Since all the pretense was put on him, he naturally wouldn't be polite.
"What does that have to do with you? Even if I kill them, what can you do?"
After saying that, Cui Qiao whipped the hemp whip in his hand on the mother and daughter, and then looked at Tang Sufan with a proud look on his face.
The mother quickly pressed the girl under her, but she kept sobbing in pain, and she didn't even have time to scream in pain.
Tang Sufan took a deep breath, and the coldness in his eyes became stronger.
He shouted in a low voice: "I bought these two people, how much did they cost?"
Cui Qiao smiled jokingly and came to him to pretend to be a good guy.
"Sorry, these two slaves are not for sale!"
He is a dignified steward, a member of the Cui family, and his brother-in-law is a yamen errand. In this West City, no one would give him a penny.
Is it possible that a little brat with no identity wants to run up and jump on his head?
Tang Sufan gritted his teeth and said coldly: "You won't sell it, right?"
The last of his patience had been worn away, and the anger that had been suppressed in his heart was slowly released.
Since the theory is not correct, then I am too lazy to care about that bullshit theory.
Although he does not have the ability to change this social environment, he cannot sit idly by and ignore this matter.
If he turns a blind eye, what is the difference between him and those people who have been corrupted by feudalism? This will also be a waste of time for his soul who came from time to time.
Tang Sufan looked indifferent and shouted: "Liu Xiao!"
Liu Xiao from behind immediately came out, looked at Tang Sufan who suddenly became angry, and asked: "What's wrong, Mr. Tang?"
Tang Sufan stared at Liu Xiao and said seriously: "Did Lao Li ask you to obey me in everything?"
Liu Xiao paused, then nodded.
Strictly speaking, not only did Li Shimin ask him to obey Tang Sufan's instructions, but he also wanted to protect Tang Sufan's safety.
"That's good!"
A sneer slowly appeared on Tang Sufan's face, and his eyes towards Cui Qiao became unkind.
Then he whispered coldly: "Liu Xiao, destroy him for me!"
Cui Qiao's heart skipped a beat when he saw a sturdy guard suddenly emerged from outside the crowd.
Is it possible that this kid has a bodyguard? ! Did he make a mistake? !
Cui Qiao didn't believe it. This boy really dared to let others hurt him: "Boy! Injuring someone innocently is a serious crime. Do you want to go to jail?"
When Tang Sufan heard this, he suddenly glanced sarcastically at the steward who changed his face.
He suddenly chanted loudly: "Haha, hurting others is a big sin! Hurtring people is a big sin! Hahahaha, what a big sin!"
In the end, Tang Sufan turned from sarcasm to laughter. In his eyes, he didn't know if he was mocking his stupidity or pitying his IQ.
I don’t know if he is laughing at Cui Qiao’s cruelty or at the worldly helplessness of this year...
The theatergoers around him were stunned when they saw this apparently gentle young man burst out laughing.
Suddenly, Tang Sufan stopped smiling, and said coldly: "Liu Xiao, destroy him, I will take care of anything!"
When Liu Xiao heard this, he knew that Tang Sufan had made up his mind.
Walking on tiger steps, he walked towards Cui Qiao, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, with a fierce look on his face.
"Wait!"
Cui Qiao panicked immediately. This boy really dared to hurt a dental shop manager for two bitches! ?
"I'm in charge of the tooth..."
Before Cui Qiao finished speaking, he received a punch directly in his face.
Then, screams like slaughtering pigs rang out on the streets of Slave City!
The miserable sound lingers in my ears~
At this time, the fat steward who was sitting aside stood up and said quickly to Tang Sufan: "Young master, you must do it! This Cui Qiao is..."
As soon as the fat steward spoke, Tang Sufan responded with a cold look, and a word popped out of his friendly mouth: "Get out!"
You're such a bastard. Tang Sufan just wanted to punch him in the face when he saw him.
The fat steward shrank his neck and quickly backed away in fright. This guy is a ruthless person and cannot be offended...
