But just when Li Yin was about to lose his temper, an old official in the lead stepped forward and said, "Young Master Yang is right. I remember that some of the female slaves captured together with Feng Shuyu are still there, so I will send someone to inquire. If this is the case, then let her go back to reunite with her brother!"

Hearing this old official's words, Li Yin's expression finally eased.The Feng brothers and sisters were already in despair, but they didn't expect that the young man who came out halfway would suddenly reverse their fate. This made the two of them inexplicably ecstatic. Among them, Feng Shijie quickly pulled his younger sister and ran to Li Yin, and then both knelt down and said : "Thank you, Young Master, for your kindness in helping me!"

Li Yin felt that it didn't matter, and waved them up, and the Feng brothers and sisters were also very polite. After thanking Li Yin, they also thanked the shopkeeper Feng and the old officials next to them.

But after a while, the person sent by the old official to question came back, and the matter was clarified. It was indeed like what the Feng brothers and sisters said, they were only staying in the other party's house temporarily, and they were not from the wealthy family. Moreover, the female slave who answered also confirmed the identity of the Feng brothers and sisters as Han Chinese.

Now there is no doubt that the Feng brothers and sisters were crying with joy, but no one noticed it, but Li Yin found out that the Feng brothers and sisters were happy, but they seemed to have something on their minds, and there was a bit of helplessness in their eyes .And the old official also announced at this time: "Since Feng Shuyu's Han identity has been confirmed, the old man hereby announces that Feng Shuyu will be released..."

"Slow down!" Just as the old official was about to announce the release of Feng Shuyu's slave status, he was suddenly interrupted, and an official of the Prince of Qi's mansion wearing a light blue official uniform walked out from behind Li Yin and the others. He was white and fat, with a tight fat face, and he looked as if everyone owed him money.

"Old Huo, who allowed you to release this female slave?" The fat official gave Li Yin and the others a casual look, as if he looked down on others, as if he didn't pay attention to the people present at all. inside.From his light blue attire, it can be seen that this person is a rank nine official.Although it seems that the position is not high, it is very different from the old officials named Lao Huo. Lao Huo and the others are just officials, not officials, and the white and fat official in front of him is only a ninth-rank official, but he is an upright official. , hangs a name in Qi Wangfu, only because of this.It is enough to make ordinary people dare not underestimate it.

When Lao Huo heard the person's questioning, he was a little flustered at the time, bowed and said: "I want to report to the king's slave leader, this woman has been confirmed to be a Han, and she has nothing to do with the noble family of the Japanese country. The decree is to be released immediately."

Li Yin now occupies a large amount of land, and the officials under him have to manage the land and population. The original official system of the royal residence is already very backward, so Li Yin is outside the official system of the royal residence.Many official positions have been added, such as the man in front of him who is called the slave leader.It is an official who manages the slave trade in a place, but generally the slave head is not the only one. Judging from the current scale of slave port, it is estimated that there will be three or four slave heads managing together.

When the slave leader surnamed Wang heard Lao Huo's words, he was furious at that time: "Nonsense, do you say that this woman is a Han Chinese? Is she a Han Chinese? Is the physical evidence complete? If not, the one who released the Japanese slave without authorization Are you guilty of the crime?" The net does not skip words.

This Wang Nuchang criticized Lao Huo severely as soon as he came up, without any consideration for the fact that he was already a gray-haired old man.But Li Yin frowned when he heard it.This Wang Nuchang is obviously trying to embarrass others, and personal evidence can be found, but Datang does not have an ID card with him, so there is no way to find physical evidence, unless he returns to Feng Shijie's father's hometown in the south, and then goes to the local government to check his household registration. But for a mere female slave, it was so troublesome, the other party obviously didn't want to let her go.

Lao Huo was also scolded by Wang Nuchang so that he didn't dare to speak out, and the few officials next to him were also silent.The Feng brothers and sisters originally thought they could get out of trouble, but they didn't expect that the old official who helped him just now didn't dare to make a sound after the king's servant scolded him. Seeing the freedom he got, he was about to fly away. Ruo was ashamed, but that Feng Shuyu was crying like rain, looking like pear blossoms with rain, anyone with a bit of compassion would sigh secretly.

"Yo, Wang Nuchang is playing prestige again, but you are too ignorant, old Huo. Last time, Wang Nuchang kindly came to your house to propose marriage and wanted to accept your daughter as the sixth concubine, but you Don’t agree, let’s suffer now!” At this moment, a lazy voice from behind the crowd suddenly teased, and then the crowd was separated by several officials, and a young official dressed like Wang Nuchang came in and looked The appearance should also be a slave leader.

I saw that the young slave leader was about 23 or [-] years old, with a tall and straight figure and a handsome appearance. If he took off his official uniform and put on a long robe, and held a folding fan in his hand, he must be a handsome young man.

However, when Wang Nuchang saw the young slave leader walking in, there was a trace of anger on his face full of official authority. The next few words of the other party clearly meant that Lao Huo was ignorant, but in fact it was Everyone present could understand that he was accusing him of avenging his personal revenge, so many people showed a look of disdain for the king's servant leader.

"Slave Chief Xiao, I'm dealing with official duties. Don't you think I'm dealing with it unfairly, so you don't want to skip words. But slave chief Wang ignored the expressions of the people around him and snorted coldly. Although they are both slave heads, But there are different divisions between each other. Chief Wang Nu is in charge of confirming slave status, he has the final say on whether to let Feng Shuyu go, but the young slave chief Xiao is in charge of the classification and pricing of slaves. It stands to reason that he cannot manage today's affairs. thing.

However, this young Nuchang Xiao is an upright person. He glanced at Nuchang Wang coldly, and then at the brothers and sisters of the Feng family who were kneeling on the ground. Surprised, I wondered if the surname Wang was unwilling to let her go, it turned out to be such a beautiful woman.

It's just that when this Xiao Nuchang saw Li Yin in the middle of the tiger shark, he was a little surprised. He only felt that the other person looked familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen him for a while.It's just that he was not allowed to think about it at this time, and after looking around at the people around him, he said to Wang Nuchang: "It is your duty to confirm the slave status, and naturally I will not intervene." However, His Royal Highness has already issued a strict order prohibiting the trading of Han people as slaves. If Wang Nuchang sells this woman surnamed Feng as a slave today, then I have to report this matter out of duty, and I will wait until then. Let the higher-ups find out about this matter, whoever is at fault must bear the corresponding responsibility!"

Since Li Yin "intervened" in the slavery industry, slaves of other races have become the mainstream among slaves. Coupled with the development of industry and commerce, manpower is needed everywhere, and Han people do not need to sell their bodies to live. It got smaller and smaller, and finally Li Yin simply issued a decree to prohibit the sale and purchase of Han people!This decree may not be enforced in the Tang Dynasty, but as long as it is under Li Yin's rule, this decree is an iron law. Someone has committed this law before, and ended up with the end of ransacking the family. Since then, No one dared to try the law again.

Wang Nuchang heard that the other party did not hesitate to tear himself apart for a female slave. If he really asked him to expose this matter, and it turned out that Feng Shuyu was really a Han, then this crime is not light. In severe cases, even his own life would not be guaranteed.

However, if Wang Nuchang succumbs to this, then he will lose face, and he also has his own support, so I saw him sneer and said: "Xiao Nu has a big tone, don't you Lanling Xiao Do you really think you can overwhelm our Taiyuan Wang family?" The net does not skip words.

Hearing that Nuchang Wang not only reported his family name, but also called Nuchang Xiao's background, all the onlookers screamed, and at the same time, they couldn't help but take a few steps back, even a little timidly, He just turned around and left, not daring to stay here anymore, for fear of accidentally causing trouble to his upper body.

Seeing the reactions of the people around him, Li Yin felt a little annoyed in his heart. Although he didn't know the white and fat slave head Wang, he recognized the handsome slave head Xiao, because he was Wen Xin's cousin Xiao Lin, who was also Xiao Lin. Yu's favorite grandson came to his Prince Qi's mansion last August. Originally, Li Min wanted Xiao Lin to take up a more relaxed civil position, but Xiao Yu told him to let Xiao Lin start from a low-level official and work harder. That's why he was arranged to be a rank nine slave leader.

Wang Nuchang called out the origins of himself and Xiao Lin. The reason why the people around him avoided it was because it was no longer a dispute between the two of them, but involved Li Yin's inner court. I know that Li Yin's concubine is from the Xiao family of Lanling, and Wang Zihao has returned to the Wang family of Taiyuan a few years ago, so Xijun, who is a man, is also a member of the Wang family of Taiyuan, although Wenxin and Xijun are sisters. The love is very deep, and there is no fight between the two, but for people outside the house, it is completely different.Capital Datang 386

Although Wenxin is a princess, she has never given birth, while Xijun gave birth to a daughter earlier than her. Although the daughter is not as expensive as her son Jingui, in the eyes of the Wang family, it is a sign of Li Yin's doting on Xijun.In addition, Wenxin's superficial identity is only Xiao's concubine's daughter, and the Lanling Xiao family does not have any capable talents under Li Yin, but the Taiyuan Wang family is different. Wang An is Li Yin's Wang Fu, and his status is only in the Under Li Yin, Wang Zihao is Li Yin's right-hand man, helping him manage a large amount of property. It can be said that he is one of Li Yin's most trusted people.

In addition, with Li Yin's development outside, many Wang's children have been absorbed into the mansion as officials, so the Wang family in Taiyuan occupies a lot of power under Li Yin, and the slave head of Wang in front of Li Yin is One of them is why he has the confidence to challenge Xiao Lin.
