Little Detective of the Tang Dynasty: What to do if you are beheaded at the beginning?

Where did this fool with so much money come from? It's only 15 strings of cash for a Kunlun slave, but you actually spent 50 strings of cash to buy one?

Song Zhen glanced at the side, and sure enough.

Cui Jie's group of young people were getting ready to make a move.

"I'll pay 101 strings of cash!"

Everyone was shocked. No, the young man just now paid 100 strings of cash to buy two Kunlun slaves, which was already outrageous enough. How could there be a foolish rich man who followed suit?

Song Zhen stretched out two fingers: "200 strings of cash."

"201 strings of cash."

"250 strings of cash."

"251 strings of cash."

......

The onlookers were all numb, listening to them raising the price little by little, it seemed that they were going to argue.

Song Zhen pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then shouted: "400 strings of cash."

Cui Jie looked back at his friends around him, and after receiving encouragement from their eyes, he gritted his teeth and shouted.

"I'll pay 401 strings of cash."

Song Zhen turned around and smiled, "In that case, I'll give it to you."

"?"

Cui Jie and his group were completely stunned. They didn't expect that Song Zhen would not play by the rules.

"You! You are shameless!"

Song Zhen spread his hands indifferently: "The transaction is a matter of mutual consent. How can I be shameless if I don't want to buy it?"

"You!" Cui Jie was depressed and almost couldn't breathe.

"Then, then I won't buy it."

The owner of Kunlun Slave Shop hurriedly chased out: "No, young man, since you have already called out the price, you should spend money to buy it. How can you regret the goods?"

"We are the same as him. We don't want to buy it. What? Is it wrong?"

"It's wrong. Because you are the highest price, and that young man didn't bid higher." The owner sank his face, "If you don't pay, then I have to report to the police."

Cui Jie laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke.

"What? Who are you? You dare to threaten me? Do you know who we are?"

Cui Jie still had some brains. He didn't take it alone, but brought his friends with him.

"I don't care who you are. The deal is final. You called the highest price, and no one bid higher. If you succeed in bidding, you should pay!"

"Open your eyes and take a good look. We are the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Famous Famous Famous Famous Famous Famous Famous Famous."

Five Surnames and Seven Famous ... The reason why he spent a lot of money to lure Cui Jie and his people into the trap was to make the reputation of the Five Surnames and Seven Families worse.

The Guanzhong noble group had banned them before, and this time, Cui Jie did this. How would other small merchants view the Five Surnames and Seven Families?

Nanshi is the largest trading market in Luoyang. One person spreads ten, and ten spreads a hundred.

Will the merchants think that you are a bunch of bastards who are shameless and refuse to admit your debts?

If I stand by and watch coldly today, no one will cheer for me when disaster strikes in the future.

Although it is impossible to unite all the merchants, as long as some of them refuse to trade with the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

It will be a success.

......

He ordered the guard Wang Wu who followed him to tell him to go to Pingkangfang and say that he spent 500 strings of cash.

When he returned home, he found that there were already ten female servants standing in the yard of his home.

He counted them and felt that the number was wrong. He clearly only bought 5. Who were the four extra people besides the Bodhisattva Man bought with 500 guan?

"My dear, the boss asked us to come here too, saying that they were given as gifts."

So that's what happened. The boss felt guilty and felt embarrassed to take so much money, so he packed a few more Bodhisattva Man.

No, in addition to the three Bodhisattva Man, there were also two Silla maids.

And they were all very beautiful.

Song Zhen was helpless. He couldn't blame the boss's behavior. After all, he was kind-hearted.

If he didn't want them anymore, the boss said that he could return them.

He thought that buying five slaves for 500 guan seemed acceptable.

Anyway, his family had plenty of money, so it was not a big problem to raise a few more servants.

"Gongsun Po, take them to find a house to live in."

The housekeeper Gongsun Po was a member of the Gongsun clan, which was equivalent to a gift from Gongsun clan to him.

After a period of getting along, he found that she was diligent, polite, and very organized, so Song Zhen accepted her.

Gongsun Po hesitated and said, "But Alang, we don't have that many firewood rooms in our house."Generally speaking, slaves can only live in the woodshed, and there are many rules in daily life.

Song Zhen waved his hand: "Forget it, don't let them live in the woodshed, take them to find a room."

He told the ten female servants in front of him: "In my house, there are not so many rigid rules, but there is one thing you must know, that is, respect and inferiority."

"Alang, we know it."

"There are only two masters in this house, one is me and the other is my wife. When you see us, you must say hello."

Being polite is a code of conduct that must be followed.

"Anu knows it."

"Also, when you clean up, don't go to that room, understand?"

Song Zhen pointed in a certain direction, that is where he and Cui Mengzhu slept.

"Okay, what else, I will say it later. Disperse."

"Thank you, Alang."

Song Zhen looked at the ten female servants again, and it must be said that some of them are still quite iconic, not inferior to the stars of later generations.

The advantage is that it is pure natural, without the four evil arts.

"It's okay, just treat it as a feast for the eyes." Song Zhen had no other thoughts.

He bought it with the idea of ​​buying a servant, not taking a concubine.

Besides, taking a concubine, how could I, a dignified fourth-rank official, go to Nanshi to buy a servant casually?

I'm not afraid of being laughed at if I tell others.

.......

After a few days, Di Renjie and Song Zhen set off for Yongzhou.

Before leaving, Song Zhen mentioned this to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was stunned at the time. He didn't understand, why are you going to Yongzhou?

I was thinking about watching the new drama you asked Pingkangfang to promote.

You, on the other hand, ran directly to Yongzhou.

Li Zhi suddenly remembered that it was bad. It seemed that there was a previous position, and Song Zhen was indeed a member of the Dali Temple.

And he was the inspector of the Dali Temple.

Li Zhi touched his goat beard and was thinking, why not give up this position?

It would save this guy from running around everywhere, not looking like a teacher.

Yongzhou is more than 1,200 kilometers away from Luoyang in later generations.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was no less than that.

The journey was too long. Song Zhen and Di Renjie rushed for almost a week before they approached the border. They rushed at full speed without taking a carriage.

"Yongzhou is ahead." Di Renjie looked at the mountains not far away.

"How about we take a carriage? I have been riding a horse for these days, and my legs are numb." Song Zhen pouted. If he had known, he would not come here to suffer.

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Okay."

So, the two of them changed two horses at the post station, tied them to the carriage, and moved forward slowly.

In the Tang Dynasty, the official road in Yongzhou was not well developed, perhaps because of the region.

Yongzhou is located in the southern part of Hunan. The landforms in the area are complex and diverse, with rivers and streams crisscrossing and hills and basins interspersed.

During the Tang Dynasty, Yongzhou was less developed and was a wild land, usually an area where demoted officials were sent to.

Later, Liu Zongyuan came to Yongzhou.

And wrote the masterpiece "Eight Records of Yongzhou".

The carriage was driving normally on the official road, and Song Zhenzhen was about to close his eyes and sleep.

Suddenly something fell and hit the top of the car, and he was shocked.
