Dong Haohao carefully observed the expressionless Dong Zhang and said tentatively: "Home, family?"
Dong Zhang glanced at Dong Haohao, who was sweating on his forehead, and suddenly asked with an increasingly frightened expression: "Are you a bad person?"
Dong Haohao, who had done a lot of wrong things, shook his head crazily and hurriedly explained: "Young Master misunderstood, I am a good citizen and a good person."
Even the old woman in the distance nodded. Dongzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "Really?"
"Yes, sir, the younger ones have never been shorter than what they eat and what they wear. It's just, just, a little stricter."
Seeing Dong Zhang becoming more and more serious, Dong Haohao was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe.
"A little harsher?"
Seeing Dong Haohao nodding like he was pounding garlic, Zhang Dong felt heavy in his heart. Human trafficking was a crime in later generations, but here, it was open and legal. The owner of the contract could even kill his slaves at will without worrying about being punished.
People sue the officials because the life of the slave belongs to the owner of the contract.
Even a human life is worth less than a horse, a piece of cloth, and a porcelain vase. When Dongzhang asked that question, they didn't even feel that they had done anything wrong and nodded with peace of mind. This is the common understanding of people in this era.
You can't change it by just one person. The general environment is like this. Dongzhang pulled Dong Haohao's neck in front of Xiao Luyao's eyes and asked her:
"Do you want to go home?"
Little Lu Yao blinked his eyes and nodded quickly, then asked another girl: "What about you, do you want to go home?"
After asking seven or eight little girls, the answer given by each one was that they wanted to go home. Dongzhang looked at Dong Haohao, who was sweating on his forehead and his face was flushed, and said, "You are a good person, right?"
"Yes, yes, sir, I am a good person."
"Very good. There are thirteen girls here. They all want to go home, but their freedom is covered on a piece of paper. You should be able to find it."
Dongzhang calmly looked at Dong Haohao, who looked uneasy but hesitated to speak: "What? Are you having any difficulties?"
"But, but, I spent a lot of money to buy it."
With a flash of cold light, Dongzhang quickly swung his sword at the stone millstone on the side, and the stone millstone as big as a bathtub was neatly split open.
"of"
Gently sheathing the sword, Dong Zhang asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What did you say just now? The voice was too soft for me to hear clearly. Please say it again."
Dong Haohao swallowed hard, his eyes carefully met Dongzhang, who looked at him calmly, and said with a flattering smile: "Yes, it's okay, I will take care of such small things, sir. Please wait a moment."
Dong Haohao slapped his chest loudly under Dong Zhang's increasingly calm gaze, and then at Dong Zhang's signal, he called a young boy over and gave instructions. The boy looked at Dong Zhang fearfully,
Then he turned around and left quickly.
Dongzhang naturally heard what Dong Haohao said. The distance between the two was not far, and Dong Haohao did not dare to secretly say anything behind Dongzhang's back. He walked to the split stone mill and Dongzhang sat down casually.
He went up, pointed at Dong Haohao, and said with a smile:
"Come and sit."
Faced with Dongzhang's power, Dong Haohao naturally did not dare to refute, and nodded obediently: "Hey, okay."
It's just that his fat butt is sitting on the other half of the stone mill. It looks awkward, just like a huge stupid bear sitting on a children's chair. It's unconventional, but Dong Haohao is still honest even with his butt.
He stayed beside Dong Zhang without daring to move.
At this time, Xiao Luyao on the side carefully bypassed Dong Haohao and came to Dong Zhang's side, staring directly at Dong Zhang with his big eyes shining.
Dong Zhang looked at him calmly and asked softly: "Are you tired?"
Facing this young man who had only been with him for one night, Xiao Lu Yao, who was about to shake his head, actually nodded in an awkward manner. Dong Zhang smiled softly and opened his hand to Xiao Lu Yao: "Come on."
Xiao Luyao happily sat in Dongzhang's arms and looked obediently towards the courtyard door. He felt extremely calm and at ease inside. Even looking at the people in the field no longer felt scary. He was obviously scared to death yesterday.
.
Dongzhang, on the other hand, was bored and holding his chin, looking left and right. The most painful thing was Dong Haohao, who was sitting next to him. He sat motionless on the stone mill with his butt pressed against his body.
I was so nervous that my back was soaked with sweat.
Dongzhang didn't have to wait for too long. Within two cups of tea, the young boy appeared in everyone's sight. Dong Haohao, who was sweating profusely, looked at Dongzhang beside him wildly. After receiving the signal, he was relieved.
He stood up and faced the running boy with a smile.
He grabbed the paper from the boy's hand, walked up to Dongzhang with a mocking smile, bowed, raised the paper in his hand and said, "Young master, they are all here."
With Xiao Lu's reluctant look on her face, Dongzhang put her gently on the ground, took the paper handed over by Dong Haohao and casually glanced at the contents on the paper.
As expected, they were all deeds of prostitution. Holding a stack of deeds of prostitution, Dong Zhang walked towards the little girl under the eaves and read: "Luo Qingshu."
After waiting for a moment, the timid little girl raised her hand cautiously and walked out of the crowd. Dongzhang nodded to her and said: "Stand over here."
Then he continued to ask loudly: "Su Ying, Dai Qiongyi, Cen Lin"
The girls whose names were read walked out of the crowd one by one until: "Lu Yao."
"arrive."
Dong Zhang met the eyes of little Lu Yao next to him and smiled silently, and then said: "Very good, the freedom of thirteen people is here."
Then he raised his hand and threw more than a dozen deeds of betrayal into the sky. He held the hilt of the sword with his right hand and struck it dozens of times. The sound of swishing was heard endlessly. The deeds of betrayal in the air were cut into countless pieces with Dong Haohao's distressed look on his face.
of debris.
Dongzhang reached out and called Dong Haohao, who was looking sad, and said, "Send them all home. There are thirteen of them. I will ask where they live. If..."
Dongzhang's eyes were cold: "If any one of you is missing when I go to visit, I will kill your whole family."
Dong Haohao's fat face was so frightened that he turned pale. His fat head nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice and said: "No, no, no, no, sir. Please rest assured. I will definitely ensure that no one is missing and will be delivered home safely. With your character, I will send you home safely."
Guarantee, sir, please rest assured."
Staring at the fat man who was sweating profusely, Dongzhang narrowed his eyes and said softly: "How much is your personality worth? I keep my word. If anyone is missing and I want to kill your whole family, I will definitely do it."
I want you to rest assured about killing your whole family."
It's strange that you can feel relieved. You look so young, how can you say such shocking things so calmly?
