The Qianniu Guard was the personal army directly under the command of the emperor in the early Tang Dynasty. Everyone in the Qianniu Guard was an elite member of the Tang army. As the emperor's guard in the Qianniu Guard, Liu Xiao's martial arts was the best among the Qianniu Guard.
Dealing with Cui Qiao, who is like a bamboo pole, is not as simple as pinching a chicken.
"Ah!! Ah!"
"ah!!!!"
"ah!!!!"
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Cui Qiao, who had looked joking and arrogant just now, collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, his body shaking like chaff, his yellowed teeth biting tightly, and big cold sweat kept emerging from his face in pain.
Liu Xiao's hands and feet were trampled and broken, and he howled one after another.
For a moment, the people who had just gathered around to watch the show were watching an even bigger show in the blink of an eye.
Tang Sufan crossed his arms and looked at all this coldly. He knew that there would be trouble later. Although he didn't want to get into trouble, it didn't mean that he was really afraid of it.
Tang Sufan turned to the fat steward and said, "I bought the mother and daughter at the same price as the maids just now. I'll have the money delivered tomorrow."
The money he just spent on those slaves has almost been spent. Alas, this is all the trouble of traveling with cash~
The fat steward nodded repeatedly and just agreed.
Tang Sufan looked arrogantly and said to Cui Cui, who was lying on the ground in pain and shaking like the mother and daughter just now: "Also, my name is Tang Sufan. If anything happens, please come to me!"
After that, Tang Sufan walked towards the mother and daughter who looked at what just happened in horror.
Tang Sufan showed a gentle smile again and said softly: "Come with me!"
After hearing this, the woman burst into tears. She quickly knelt down to Tang Sufan and bowed fiercely: "Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang, for your kindness! You saved my daughter from the sea of misery!"
"Oh, I can't help it!"
Tang Sufan hurriedly pulled her, but he was weak. He didn't stop until the woman was so excited that she bowed three times.
I think I am a grown man, but I didn’t help a woman. It’s so shameful~
At this time, the little girl looked at Tang Sufan timidly like a quail that had just seen the sun.
After pulling the woman up, Tang Sufan saw the little girl looking at him blankly. Tang Sufan smiled gently: "Little girl, come with me!"
The little girl asked in a timid voice: "You...will you hit my mother and me?"
For some reason, these words made Tang Sufan feel like a drop of hot oil falling on his heart, making him feel hot and uncomfortable.
Tang Sufan smiled very gently, touched her head and said, "Don't worry, I won't hit you."
"Okay, come with me first. Liu Xiao, take them with me!"
Tang Sufan and Liu Xiao left the slave market with Uncle Wen and a large number of slaves they had just bought.
When the guards from Yahang rushed over, they only saw Cui Qiao, whose hands and feet were broken, rolling on the ground in pain like an earthworm...
……………………
Dongmen Street, inside a dilapidated restaurant.
Tang Sufan helped Zhang Wen and mother and daughter sit down aside, and then looked at the slaves standing in a row.
After all, Tang Sufan had run a company in his previous life, so if he wanted to give him some advice, he would still be able to do so in a decent way.
He walked around for a while, stared at them and said slowly: "From today on, you are my people."
"Don't worry, I won't mistreat you. As long as you work hard in this tavern from now on, your life will be successful."
"In addition, I will give you a salary of two hundred coins per month, and you will have four days off every month..."
After hearing Tang Sufan's words, the group of slaves and maidservants quickly glanced at the people around them subconsciously, and all saw the shock and disbelief in the eyes of others.
They have never heard of a master giving slaves wages, let alone such a good thing as rest.
Others wanted their slaves to die, and beatings and scoldings were just commonplace.
As the master of my family, is it possible that the Living Buddha has been reincarnated?
A slave who was a little bolder asked in a low voice: "Lang Jun, is this... is this true?"
Two hundred cents, in the early years of Zhenguan when prices were low, was a wage that a worker could only get if he worked hard. One of their slaves could not even imagine that one day he would get wages, or two hundred cents a month!
This number makes all the slaves feel like they are in a dream...
"Of course it's true. The two hundred cash per month belongs to you personally, and no one has the right to take it away."
"Also, if you can collect the same amount of money that I just bought you, you can come to me to redeem your slave status, and you can stay or leave as you please."
After listening to Tang Sufan's determined voice, all the slaves suddenly turned red, knelt down with a thump, and kowtowed to Tang Sufan quickly.
For a time, everyone's loyalty to Tang Sufan was maxed out, and Tang Sufan simply became their reborn parent!
While kneeling back, he shouted excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Lang! Thank you, Mr. Lang!"
(PS: In the Tang Dynasty, there should have been no titles for masters and shopkeepers. They were all called Langjun or Alang. But in this book, I will use titles such as Langjun, Master, and Young Master together. It’s not that I’m not being rigorous, but because of the time and space plot of this book. To set the stage, hehe~)
Tang Sufan grinned, why did he kneel again? ! !
In the previous life, this condition was considered a form of oppression, but here it became a great kindness to them...
Tang Sufan was too lazy to pull them one by one and said loudly: "Okay, everyone, get up. Also, don't call me husband. From now on, just call me young master."
"Thank you, sir!"
Everyone changed their names and kowtowed before slowly getting up.
At this time, a slave lowered his head and said softly: "Please give us a name, Master..."
Tang Sufan was stunned, why did he still need to give a name?
Asked: "Don't you all have names?"
"Back to the master, our slaves' names are all chosen by our masters. We don't have our own names."
"this……"
Tang Sufan scratched his head, as if slaves were indeed named by their masters.
He is familiar with this painting to fool people, but with this name...he really doesn't have much ink~
Tang Sufan thought for a while and simply quoted the names of the bad streets in the TV series in his previous life. Then he pointed at the first maid in the row and said: "From left to right, you four are called Chunlan, Xiahe, Qiuju, and Dongmei." Well... let's call you four Chunyan, Xia Chan, Qiu Die, and Dong Yu..."
Tang Sufan could think of a few female names for a while, but he couldn't think of a male one at the moment. There is no Baidu here...
Tang Sufan waved his hand and said simply: "Well, you guys can count them next to each other..."
"Thank you, Master, for the name!"
Everyone bowed their heads and said respectfully together.
"There is a small courtyard behind the restaurant. There are some rooms in it. You can pack up and live in it. You can have a good rest today."
"Starting tomorrow, the men will be responsible for throwing away all the tables, chairs and sundries, and the women will be responsible for cleaning the restaurant from top to bottom..."
