Chen Xi knelt down and reached out to grab the leading guy, "Are you from Manxianglou? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"You'd better let us go, otherwise our boss will definitely not let you go!" The leader said with difficulty, vomiting blood, but he didn't say harsh words. Xu Chu's strength was so awe-inspiring to him, it was just a punch. , all the capable men he led this time were seriously injured and fell to the ground.
"Who is your boss? Let's not talk about Taishan. Even in the Han Dynasty, there were not many who dared to offend us. Tell me, who is your boss? They are so crazy. I like crazy people very much." Chen Xi's face was rippling with emotion. Smiling like a devil, before Ma Zhong said that these people were from Manxianglou, Liu Bei started to glare at Chen Xi. In his memory, this was a store opened by Chen Xi, why would he do such a thing!
"My boss is Chen Zichuan, the Marquis of Guan Nei, Liu Xuande's military advisor." The leading man glared at Chen Xi and angrily rebuked.
Ma Zhong immediately became alert after hearing these words. He knew that the man squatting on the ground opposite was Chen Xi, so how could the words he said in the restaurant before be true? Ma Zhong's eyes flashed with panic, and then he silently looked around at his younger brothers and sisters and motioned for them to leave quickly.
"Kid, sometimes you'd better investigate. I don't remember anyone doing human trafficking. By the way, Manxianglou is no longer in the flesh business. Why are you arresting a little girl?" Chen Xi saw Ma Zhong. action and rolled his eyes. Then he took out the seal ribbon of his title and waved it in front of the leading man, "I am the boss you mentioned. Now explain to me when I asked you to do such a thing."
"Marquis Chen, please spare your life, Marquis Chen, please spare your life!" The moment he saw Chen Xi's seal, the leading man finally realized that he had hit an iron plate and begged for mercy loudly.
"Stop, I want to know what's going on between you and Manxianglou. Don't worry, if what you said is true, I will let it go." Chen Xi really couldn't say anything about human trafficking at this time. After all, there are many things in this era. A few people volunteered to be slaves in exchange for food. There are also many people who sell their sons and daughters. Of course, this kind of business without capital is a bit excessive, but it is just excessive.
The leader looked at Chen Xi and knew clearly if he didn't tell the truth. His death was absolutely miserable, and he had no choice but to pour beans out of a bamboo tube and just said what needed to be said.
"I'm really unlucky. I just said that Manxianglou has changed jobs, how can they still accept them? Go and get a few people to hand them over to Manchong. Let him impose a moderate sentence and don't kill them." Chen Xi was speechless. He said, he just said that, there should be very few people who know that Manxiang Tower is supported by him, how come he even knows this kind of scum now.
"Things have been clarified. In the past, Fenggao was not rich and there were many people selling their children and daughters, while Manxianglou was in the flesh business. It is naturally related. Now the whole rule has become rich. If nothing else, the rule is People still have no problem feeding their children, so no one can sell their children. Without a stable supply, these people have no choice but to arrest people everywhere." Chen Xi said helplessly.
The reason why they bear the title of Manxiang Tower is not because Manxiang Tower is big enough and domineering enough. Even if those officials from Taishan, Qingzhou saw such a team catching beggars, they would turn a blind eye. , and I heard that this was a person from Manxianglou, and they didn't care. They mostly acquiesced, and there were people above who could do things easily. As a result, this time I bumped into a real person.
"I just said that Zichuan will not drop prices like this. There are too many ways to make money. Why do you need to do this kind of business?" Liu Bei nodded and gave Li You a hint. For such a guy who ruined the reputation of officials, Liu Bei would He would not be like Chen Xi who did not investigate his crime in depth. In his opinion, the most appropriate thing to do is to explain his guilt and behead him in public!
Li You smiled and said that he understood. He killed one or two traffickers to shock everyone. Li You felt no pressure. He thought back to when he shocked the officials of the Yang family in Guanxi, it would have been a mess. Without this kind of iron-blooded With the Yang family's fighting power, Dong Zhuo might be in trouble.
"Oh, things are going to get more complicated again. It's really troublesome!" Chen Xi said with an unhappy face. Now he must give some gray businesses a license. Otherwise, he doesn't know how many people will mess up in his name. He can Not the top cylinder.
"Hey, Ma Zhong, to tell you the truth, I can't do such a shameful thing. If you believe me, take your brother and sister with us. If you don't believe me, just stay here! Take a gamble and live in the sunshine. Should I give up this time and wait for the impossible second time?" Chen Xi didn't bother to persuade Ma Zhong. The other party's eyes were full of doubts. It was outrageous that the previous officials had ruined their credibility. Even Chen Xi had no good solution. , can only be re-established step by step.
"Go or stay here, it's your choice." Chen Xi glanced at all the children. It was obvious that these people were staring at Ma Zhong.And Ma Zhong's eyes were hesitant. Chen Xi couldn't say anything about this kind of thing. After all, he had been homeless for so many years. If he hadn't been vigilant, he would have been sold long ago.
Liu Bei also looked at Ma Zhong, watching him glance at his brothers and sisters outside the door, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Bei, "Xuan Degong, can I believe you? You really will not sell us to others. ?"
Chen Xi covered his eyes with a look of helplessness. What did this kid think? How much can you get for selling it? You are Ma Zhong, the divine general and killer Ma Zhong. Just this title can illustrate your value.
"I once swore that I would provide food, clothing and shelter for you, including you. I will protect you until you are sixteen!" Liu Bei said solemnly. Even for this smallest goal, Liu Bei felt that he had to pay enough. Only through hard work can we do it. Now that we have seen it, give them hope!
"I believe it!" Ma Zhong said after hesitating for a long time.
Liu Bei walked over and touched Ma Zhong's head, "Let's go, take your younger brothers and sisters and leave here. I will make arrangements for you first. You can go to school after Zichuan has taken care of other things."
Chen Xi shook his head slightly, looking at the group of children, he quite admired Ma Zhong. This kid was actually very loyal. If it weren't for the drag of these little brats, Ma Zhong would probably be able to get along anywhere.
"You guys come here and have something to eat. General Zhendong will take us out of here in a moment." Ma Zhong picked up the wallet he had thrown away before, opened the package and said to their younger brothers and sisters.
A group of skinny little guys huffing and puffing all ran to Ma Zhong's side, shouting loudly, and quickly devoured a large bag of meat. Looking at the unfinished expressions, you can tell what the life of these children was like before. But after eating, no child said anything to Ma Zhong that he still wanted to eat. Even if these children were a little ignorant, they knew they shouldn't cause trouble to their brother.
¡°This is a damn time, shouldn¡¯t these children act like a spoiled child in their parents¡¯ arms? Why does it hurt to be sensible? (To be continued)
