Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Seeing what was happening ahead, the plainclothes guards of Prince Qi's Mansion immediately surrounded Li Min, fearing that something unexpected would happen.  However, Li Min was very calm, pushed away the guard and walked over.  This was not because Li Min was bold, but because he had some persistence. There was a large army stationed outside the slave trading place, and with the fifty elite guards around him, it was not easy for others to hurt him.

    As Li Min and the others approached, they finally saw clearly what was happening in front of them. They saw a young man in shabby clothes hugging the thigh of a slave trader and begging for something. Behind him, kneeling  There was a pretty girl with a look of sadness on her face, and she was wearing clean and neat Japanese costumes. It looked like she was a Japanese girl for sale.  In addition to these three people, there were several other slave market management officials who were staring angrily at the young man on the ground.

    Without Li Min¡¯s signal, the smiling tiger beside him immediately stepped forward and asked the slave trader: ¡°Shopkeeper Feng, what¡¯s going on?¡±

    Seeing that Smiling Tiger and the other party actually knew each other, Li Min was not surprised. After all, many businessmen had already greeted Smiling Tiger and Smiling Tiger since they entered here.  Shopkeeper Feng felt a little embarrassed when he saw Smiling Tiger, an acquaintance of his, and pulled his legs out of the young man's arms. The young man originally wanted to hug him again, but was stopped by the boy next to Shopkeeper Feng.  .

    By this time, One-eyed Shark had already introduced the shopkeeper Feng in front of him in a low voice to Li Min. It turned out that this slave trader was special. He was not a slave trader from Dengzhou, nor was he supported by the wealthy nobles of Chang'an.  He is from a wealthy family in the south. He usually doesn't make many moves, but every time he makes a big move, Husha has done business with him several times before, so he has some friendship with him.

    Shopkeeper Feng stepped forward and cupped his hands to the smiling tiger and said, "Brother Zhou is a joke. I thought my kindness would be rewarded, but I didn't expect that I got entangled this time. It seems that this good man will really not be able to do anything easily in the future!"

    Hearing what Shopkeeper Feng said was strange, Li Min couldn't help but step forward and said, "Why does Shopkeeper Feng say that? Could it be that such a good person can do something bad?"

    Shopkeeper Feng had also noticed Li Min a long time ago.  It's just that the smiling tiger didn't take the initiative to introduce him, and he couldn't ask. Now that he saw the other party taking the initiative to ask, he smiled and asked the smiling tiger next to him: "Brother Zhou, who is this?"

    Li Min didn't wait for Smiling Tiger to answer, and said first, "Haha, my surname is Yang, just call me Mr. Yang!" He didn't want to reveal his identity, so he even hid his surname.  Instead, use the mother's surname instead.

    Although what Li Min said first was a bit rude, shopkeeper Feng also traveled all over the country.  Having met various characters, I knew that Mr. Yang in front of me could be accompanied by two tigers and sharks, and his tone had the aura of a superior. He must be a person of extraordinary origin, so naturally he did not dare to say anything, but smiled.  He told what happened.

    It turns out that the young man on the ground who was held down by the waiters was also named Feng, and his name was Feng Shijie. He was a waiter who had just been hired by shopkeeper Feng.  Speaking of which, Feng Shijie's life experience is also very special. He was born when he was two or three years old.  His father took him to live in Japan, where he made a living relying on his family's carving skills, carving statues for major temples.

    When the Soga family was in power, they tried their best to promote the spread of Buddhism in Japan. Soga Ezo's father even converted his home into a Buddhist temple to show his devotion to Buddhism.  It is precisely because of this that many Buddhist temples were built in various places in Japan.  Feng Shijie's father also gained some fame in the Japanese country by virtue of his skill in carving Buddha statues. He was often invited by some wealthy families to carve Buddha statues, and he also accumulated some wealth.

    Maybe it¡¯s because I feel like I¡¯m doing well in Japan.  So Feng Shijie's father simply came up with the idea of ??settling down. Not only did he manage real estate in the Japanese country, but he also married a Japanese girl and gave birth to another sister to Feng Shijie, named Feng Shuyu, who is now blocked by him.  woman.

    Originally, Feng Shijie's family had a good life. His father was respected by others, and he himself learned skills from his father. But what he didn't expect was that some time ago, Li Min attacked the Japanese country, and later there was a battle between the Emperor's line and the Soga family. Although  There was no winner or loser, but the Asuka area was in chaos. Feng Shijie's home was destroyed in the rebellion, and the family of four was separated. He took his sister to avoid the war while looking for his father, but he failed.  There has been no news, and I'm afraid it's all too bad.

    But unfortunately, when they took refuge in the home of a Japanese wealthy family they knew well, the wealthy family refused to give up their military power. As a result, the family was ruined. The whole family and tribesmen were demoted as slaves. Although Feng Shijie repeatedly  He explained to their captors that he and his sister were Han Chinese and hoped to let them go, but no one believed them. This was mainly because there were too many Japanese nobles who could speak Chinese, and Feng Shijie could not come up with anything powerful.  evidence, so in the end he was treated as a slave to fate.??Slave port.

    After arriving at the slave port, male and female slaves had to be separated, so Feng Shijie and his sister were separated. He was sold to shopkeeper Feng a few days ago, but Feng Shijie was very smart and found the opportunity to reveal his Han identity to shopkeeper Feng, and he  Also named Feng, Shopkeeper Feng has a good impression of him. In addition, Feng Shijie has heard his father talk about some of the southern customs he asked about, and he can answer them. This makes Shopkeeper Feng no longer suspicious, so for the sake of  For the sake of being a fellow clansman, he was picked out from the slave pile and brought with him as a companion.

    However, Feng Shijie has always been thinking about his sister. After he was freed, he has been making inquiries in the slave market. He has been separated from his sister for nearly half a month, and Japanese women are easier to sell than men. It stands to reason that Feng Shuyu should have been sold long ago.  Someone bought it, but it could also be that Buddha, seeing that his father had carved so many Buddha statues, showed mercy and allowed them to meet as brother and sister. After Feng Shijie inquired for a few days, he actually let him find his sister.

    Speaking of which, Feng Shijie was able to find his sister because of Feng Shuyu's outstanding appearance. In addition, the Feng family was not short of money and received a good education since childhood. Although his temperament was not as good as that of domestic ladies, it was different.  Exotic.

    It is precisely because of this that after Feng Shuyu was transported to the slave port, he was immediately selected and served with delicious food and drink together with some other young and beautiful Japanese women. This was mainly to let them maintain good health.  If you look good when selling, you can get a good price. It is precisely because of this that Feng Shuyu has never been sold.

    Feng Shijie was naturally overjoyed when he found out that his sister was still in Nugang. He tried his best to rescue her. However, in a place like Nugang, using force was definitely not possible. He could only buy it with money. But the key was Feng Shuyu's fault.  Her appearance is so outstanding that even compared with the beautiful Japanese women in the same batch, she is the best, so her price is also a sky-high price. There are even several slave traders who specialize in selling beauties and have taken a liking to her. They have prepared for her early.  It¡¯s a little money, so I plan to buy it back and cultivate it properly, and then sell it for a sky-high price once it¡¯s resold.  Under such circumstances, how could Feng Shijie, a young man, redeem his sister?

    Originally, today was the day when Feng Shuyu was sold. Several management officials took her to the stage for auction, and whoever bid the highest price would give it to him. Unexpectedly, he happened to run into Feng Shijie, who was following shopkeeper Feng, and saw that his sister was about to be sold.  People were sold like goods, and Feng Shijie was naturally heartbroken. In desperation, he stopped his sister and begged shopkeeper Feng, hoping that he could lend him money and redeem his sister first.

    Shopkeeper Feng has a good character. If she were an ordinary Japanese girl, he would have lent money to Feng Shijie. However, a top beauty like Feng Shuyu wouldn't even think about it if she didn't have hundreds of strings. With Feng Shijie promoted from a slave to  Man, if you add up your usual wages, you will have to go without food and drink for at least ten years before you can repay the money, so naturally he refused to borrow money, but Feng Shijie regarded shopkeeper Feng as a life-saving straw, so he naturally begged for help.  , and the scene that Li Min saw just happened happened.

    After hearing the whole story, Li Min frowned, and immediately called the officials in charge over and said: "You are all officials in charge of slave trading, so do you know that King Qi has made a clear decision?"  According to the law, no one is allowed to sell Han people as slaves?¡±

    These officials did not know Li Min, but they all recognized the Smiling Tiger and the One-eyed Shark. Moreover, they had also heard the previous conversation between Shopkeeper Feng and Li Min. They knew that this young man was not simple, so they did not dare to be presumptuous, so they immediately answered  He said: "For Young Master Yang, Your Highness indeed has a decree that Han people are not allowed to sell goods. However, Feng Shijie and Feng Shuyu were captured at the mansion of a wealthy family, and the charges were heavier than those of ordinary Japanese. Moreover, their identities were vague, and their Han identities could not be determined.  In addition, even though it was determined that their father was Han, Feng Shuyu¡¯s mother was Japanese, and the above factors were combined, so we treated her as a Japanese girl.¡±

    This official's answer was very appropriate and well-founded. If it were someone else, he would probably handle it the same way.  However, after Li Min pondered for a while, he said: "Okay, you did a good job in handling it before, but now Feng Shijie has been confirmed by Shopkeeper Feng that he is indeed of Han origin. Can Shopkeeper Feng vouch for this?"

    When Li Min said this, he looked at Shopkeeper Feng next to him. Although Shopkeeper Feng refused to lend money to Feng Shijie, he was still willing to help with this small favor. Besides, this was also a fact, so he immediately nodded and said: "I will  I can testify that Feng Shijie is indeed a Han, and look at his height, how could there be such a tall man among the Japanese?"

    Shopkeeper Feng¡¯s last words made everyone smile. Indeed, Feng Shijie¡¯s height can only be considered average among Han people, but he is much taller than ordinary Japanese. Naturally, he cannot be Japanese.

    "And Li Min then said: "Since Feng Shijie is a Han, and his sister has Sui's father's surname, we HanAccording to the rules of ??, they are naturally Han people with the surname Feng. There is no need to doubt this. As for the reason why they were arrested, this is easy to handle. Just find the slave who came from a wealthy family and ask. If it is really just a temporary stay,  Then stop pursuing them and let them go!  "

    Li Min did not use his power to overpower others, but reasoned with several officials, which left them speechless.  Just thinking that if Feng Shuyu was really released, they would lose a lot of income, so this also made several officials hesitate. Everyone looked at each other and no one could make up their mind.
