PDLP Chapter 127 Uninvited Guest
Chapter 127 Uninvited Guest
It turned out that a few brave mixed-race slaves tried to escape but were caught.
??After listening to the report, the manager's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he ordered directly, "If you don't listen, it will be a waste of food to keep it." He waved his hand, and the man saluted like a Tartar, turned around and walked out.
Yu Chaosheng knew that those slaves would most likely be in danger, so he turned his head and glanced at Pan Yingying.
??Pan Yingying looked at him and nodded slightly.
Yu Chaosheng then stood up and said, "Wait a minute!"
The manager turned his head with a puzzled expression.
Yu Chaosheng stepped forward, smiled and bowed to the steward, "We have an old saying in the Central Plains, 'Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda', I will buy all those who are causing trouble."
The manager smiled wryly, and his calloused hands slowly stroked the scimitar at his waist.
??Yu Chaosheng's eyelashes didn't even tremble, and his smile didn't diminish in the slightest.
The atmosphere in the small flower hall suddenly dropped to freezing point.
??Walking through the streets and alleys, heading towards the City Lord’s Mansion at the easternmost end.
??“Is he sure he wants to do that?” I bumped your shoulder.
??After listening carefully to the noise outside and confirming that there was someone inside the wall, the two of them climbed over the wall and retreated from the City Lord's Mansion.
Tu Su was furious and personally ordered the city to be sealed off and the poisoning incident to be thoroughly investigated.
??It was still dark when the group walked only about eighty miles. Pan Yingying found a place to rest and, taking advantage of the cover of the carriage, took out a few bags of multi-grain steamed buns and distributed them.
??The manager now looked like he was speaking bad words and personally escorted us out.
??Yu Chaosheng said seven words and counted out the silver bills and asked Pan Yingying to hand them over.
?You bought a box of anti-inflammatory medicine from outside the space, and asked Pan Yingying to give each of us one pill to take.
??Wu Chenghui raised his eyebrows. I knew what Yu Chaosheng wanted to do when he returned.
……
"Let's calculate how much it costs. We are in a hurry to go back."
??…
??Pan Yingying casually threw out seven taels of silver and said, "You guys are about to leave the city, please let him go back by himself."
"Have you seven finished your business? Do you want to go back to the inn?"
The manager looked in the direction of the voice and was stunned when he saw so many banknotes.
??Yu Chaosheng noticed the well outside the yard, and took out the rat poison he had bought and used since then from outside the space.
??We walked slowly and didn't know that a small group of people were poisoned to death in the City Lord's Mansion on the seventh day.
??Then they went to collect the food and pots and pans outside the yard and moved them back to the other yard.
……
"You came from Yaocheng and bought them back to open up wasteland and farm. As long as they work hard, they will go hungry. We returned the indentures to them seven years ago." Pan Yingying stood under the carriage, looking at those poor people who were so thin that only skin and bones were left, and sighed in her heart.
??Moving stones to build the city walls, building houses for the Tartars, taking care of horses...
??…
??It's just an animal, what's the point of keeping it tied up all the time?
??…
??Your voice is warm, revealing the same emotion as before.
??That should be the kitchen of the City Lord's Mansion. It was not yet past dinner time and no one was there.
??Yu Chaosheng came back and pulled me up with him.
Yu Chaosheng closed his eyes and became angrier the more he thought about it.
Wu Cheng would glance at me and ask, "Does he want to?"
??The two walked aside and took out the damaged map.
Pan Yingying said "hmm", helped Yu Chaosheng down from the carriage, and drove the carriage to the front of the villa to lead the people.
Pan Yingying took out a thick stack of banknotes from her bag, her expression even colder than the current atmosphere.
Yu Chaosheng counted out 350 taels from his hand and gave them to Pan Yingying. Pan Yingying handed the banknote to the steward and raised her voice, "The remaining ten taels, please have some tea, steward."
The man hurried out, and the steward went to the table next to him to get the abacus and account book. After a while of clacking, I looked up and reported a number, "A total of 110,000 taels."
"Okay, okay, I'll do it." He turned around and kicked the man who came in to report, and urged him, "Hurry up and count how many people there are. Don't keep the guests waiting for too long."
Daqi nodded and handed the carriage back to Pan Yingying. "Seven guests, if you come there again, remember to come to our Laifu Inn!"
??It took nearly an hour for the two to arrive at the City Lord's Mansion.
??I searched for a long time and finally confirmed that the eight men that day came from Taoyuan Village where Xing settled.
"Everyone is waiting outside the city. It's okay to delay. Of course, you want to have a drink with the manager."
??There were few and miscellaneous things outside the warehouse. Yu Chaosheng just looked at them and put them all away. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the two of them quickly evacuated after putting away the things and caught up with the group of slaves after daybreak.
??What I could accept the most was that my bad brother actually died outside the house of one of the seven concubines.
??Daqi was standing beside the carriage, chewing a small cake. When he saw us coming out, he wrapped the cake, put it in his arms and came to meet us.
??The manager was even more satisfied and immediately took a bundle from the man next to him, which contained the indentures of these slaves.
??Pan Yingying is very good at finding things. She probably has a natural sensitivity to finance and found the warehouse in no time.
??Everyone of those people has many new and old wounds on their bodies. Haven’t you asked the older kids? The slaves in Funing City only have one meal a day and don’t have to finish their work.
??At night, two white shadows climbed rapidly under the city wall and retreated from the city in a short time.
Wu Cheng would chuckle and put his arm around yours, "We are so in sync, we are a perfect match!"
??A large group of sudden visitors came to Taoyuan Village, led by the captain of the city guards who had been stripped naked.
??Those people had luggage, so they were tied up in bunches with hemp ropes.
??And each of the 5000 skinny people was given half a whole-grain steamed bun to fill their stomachs.
??Tu Su escaped the disaster because he rushed to the military camp early in the morning, but several of my concubines and seven sons were all poisoned to death.
"Let's have a good meal and warm ourselves up when we get back outside the village..." Pan Yingying raised her voice, looking at the numb and stiff eyes of those people, and she didn't say anything else.
At first glance, there are at least 200,000 taels.
?These 17 and a half children were beaten to the point of being on their last breath after so many years. They will definitely survive if they are properly treated.
??Pan Yingying also opened it and counted it, then just said that she would leave immediately.
??At that time, the man who had gone out to call for help came back and said in a loud voice, "There are less than 17 troublemakers inside."
The steward fiddled with the abacus and smiled a little smaller. "Since you are here to obey the discipline, I will give you seven people a cheaper price, 20 taels per person, a total of 340 taels for those people."
The manager took the banknote with a smile and recorded it in the account book.
??Before Pan Yingying could react, you opened the bags one by one and poured them out of the well. You did this seventy or eighty bags in a row before you stopped.
Yu Chaosheng took out these small cakes and gave them to the 17 injured people to share.
??…
?A large group of slaves followed the green-shed carriage out of the city, attracting the attention of many people.
??As soon as we left the city, Wu Chenghui untied us.
"Let's follow the map and you go back." Wu Chenghui squinted his eyes and let the hot wind blow on his face.
