The correct posture for attacking the Boss

Chapter 641

Pei Xiu snorted coldly and walked away.

Su Qingxi rubbed her nose, thinking that this person is too difficult to deal with, who is in the way of her wandering around, and spent his Pei Xiu's money, cut it.

The three-day holiday was fleeting, and at dusk on the third day, Su Qingxi bid farewell to the people in Ningyuanhou's residence, and returned to Guozijian in a carriage.

When the carriage drove to the big arch bridge beside the Ruoshui River, Su Qingxi heard a commotion among the crowd in front of him.

Su Qingxi opened the curtain and asked, "What's going on in front?"

"Let's go and find out." The boy stopped the carriage and trotted towards the place where the crowd gathered.

Su Qingxi sat in the car and waited, and the servant came back after a while, and while wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, he replied: "Young master, it's a big man who brought his own maid to sell over there, that girl is pretty It's beautiful, it's not a big deal at all, but I heard that a famous girl escaped quietly in the chaos, and now she was caught and beaten severely."

Su Qingxi frowned when she heard this. In this era, it is very difficult for women to control their own destiny. Don't say that the beautiful girls from poor families are mostly married to high-ranking officials as concubines or forced into prostitution, and the ugly ones are sold as officials. Slave, a life of slavery, not freedom, even a rich and noble girl like Su Qingxi can only follow the orders of the family.

It seems that most of the people who are directly up for sale on the street and half of them are auctioned are the daughters or slaves of criminal officials, who are sold to the lowest class of people as slaves or sold into places like Xingyue Tower.

"I'll go take a look." This kind of thing is not uncommon in this era, and the original owner had it in his memory, but Su Qingxi came from a legal society, and the red flag grew in the spring breeze, so he couldn't turn a blind eye to this kind of thing after all.

"Yes, sir."

The other side was already full of people, seeing that Su Qingxi was dressed gorgeously, although he didn't know his identity, he was definitely not the son of an ordinary family, so they all gave way and opened a path in the middle.

Su Qingxi walked to the front and saw a young girl lying on the ground dying. She was covered in blood from the whip, and wires were wrapped around her neck, wrists and ankles. The wires were covered with blood. Her face was dirty and her clothes were worn out. Ragged, with a mixture of mud and blood on his hair, a burly man with a beard on his face raised a thick whip and whipped the woman.

The bloody scene is really unbearable to look at.

"Stop, are you going to beat her to death?" Su Qingxi stepped forward and grabbed the raised whip.

"I beat and scolded my female slave, what do you want!" The big man's eyes were red and his face was fierce, he wanted to take back the whip in his hand, but found that Su Qingxi had grabbed him and couldn't take it back, he was even angrier at the moment.

"Anyway, it's a human life. If you keep beating her like this, she will definitely die." Su Qingxi said sharply.

"I have stipulated in the law that if a slave is killed, she will only pay a cow. What's more, this is my own slave. She dares to run away without permission. So what if I kill her?" The big man glared angrily.

"You..." Su Qingxi couldn't refute for a while.

"Let me go, or don't blame me for being rude." Seeing that Su Qingxi was holding on to the whip, the big man was about to kick Su Qingxi.

Su Qingxi was about to fight back when a figure was faster than her and directly kicked the big man out.

Su Qingxi followed the figure and looked, it was Pei Xiu.

"Brother Pei!"

Pei Xiu glanced at Su Qingxi, just nodded at her, and put on his iceberg face as usual.

The burly man was kicked on the ground in all directions, his whole body was in pain, and he wanted to slap and scold him, but when he saw the person who was not to be trifled with, he immediately said: "My lord, I will manage my female slave, you What's the point of inserting a bar horizontally?"

Pei Xiu brushed off the non-existing folds on the skirt, and said in a cold voice, "Even if it's your female slave, she shouldn't whip someone like this in public."

"The ancients said that good and evil will be rewarded. If you hurt someone's life today, you will not be afraid of God's punishment when you cross the Naihe Bridge in the future? You must know that there are ears to the secrets of heaven and earth, let alone such unreasonable things." Pei Xiu put away Folding the fan in his hand, the sound was a little colder.

Su Qingxi was a little surprised that Pei Xiu said these words, but he could understand that beating and scolding slaves of an old man was not against the law, and only talking about heaven, earth, ghosts and gods could make him feel scruples.

"Since she did such a thing as running away, it can be seen that you are not destined. In this case, why don't you sell her to me? It won't hurt Yin and Yin, and it can give you the gold and silver effort that you have spent on her for so long. I have an explanation, I don't know what you want?" Su Qingxi said, originally she planned to spend money to ask the big man to buy the female slave, but just before she could say it, the big man beat her up.

As soon as the words came out, the strong man's eyes lit up, the female slave was beaten to the point of death, and she would be waiting to die wherever she went, and no one would buy her in this state.Now someone actually said that he wanted to buy her, so why would he not do it?
"Okay, then I'll sell it to you, 20 taels of silver, not a penny less." The strong man pouted.

The onlookers gasped, this is the price of sitting on the ground, generally the maids of beautiful and innocent families are only ten taels of silver, and this female slave is usually only four or five taels of silver at most, not to mention the half-dead ones now, it is worth buying them back. You have to pay for medicine, which is not worth 20 taels of silver at all.

Su Qingxi didn't bargain with him, and directly took out 20 taels of silver from her arms and threw it over.

The strong man was ecstatic when he got 20 taels of silver. He thought that the female slave he bought for five taels of silver would be thrown into his hands, but he made a profit instead.

"Okay, the female slaves have been bought and sold. Now let's talk about the crown prince's funeral. You beat the female slaves in the street and saw blood, and you completely disregarded the court's laws. What should you do?" Pei Xiu changed the topic, his voice became a little colder.

The big man's expression changed, and he said immediately, "Don't try to fool me, the prince's mourning period is three months, and now it's the fourth month, it's already passed."

"It is written in the court documents that the mourning period is April, May and June, but this year is a leap to June. Do you think this month is the mourning period?"

The big man's expression changed drastically, and he ran away immediately.

"Come on, escort me to the yamen." Pei Xiu shouted angrily.

"Yes, young master." Immediately there were two more guards in green clothes in the crowd.

As soon as the strong man ran with his front feet, his back feet were pinned to the ground by the guards.

Su Qingxi threw herself to the ground in admiration, motioned the servant to carry the female slave into the carriage, and then said with a smile to Pei Xiu, "On weekdays, I thought Brother Pei kept his ears off the window and only read sage books, but I didn't expect you to be brave and resourceful. , and also has a warm heart."

Pei Xiu turned his face away, and said calmly: "It was you, Su Qingyuan, who bought her in the end, so why should I be so warm-hearted?"
