Seeing official officials coming in, many buyers who were selecting were slightly startled, and looked at Yu Wenjie and others with a hint of inexplicable expression.
Being stared at by many people, Huzi looked a little uncomfortable. He clutched the simple knife in his hand tightly, imitating his boss, and tried to put on a majestic appearance. But the clenched teeth were really noticeable.
You have to be a bit strong on the outside but hard on the inside.
Fortunately, no one waited too long. The guard who had been called in by the middle-aged man quickly walked out with a large pile of thick documents.
The middle-aged man handed the document to Yu Wenjie, pointed to everyone in the courtyard, and introduced each person's contract of sale one by one.
Yu Wenjie looked through the Chinese book in his hand and found that the procedures were indeed complete. Every deed of sale was stamped with the official seal of Youzhou.
The official seal of Dayan Kingdom is made of special materials and has anti-counterfeiting marks added by skilled craftsmen. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to imitate it.
There was no problem with the document. Yu Wenjie also specifically ordered his men to search the house, but no hidden population was found. The whole business was so formal that even he, who had been patrolling for many years, was surprised.
"I dare not say that about other places. In Shanhuazhou, our Hexi City dental shop is definitely the most formal. How about it? Sir, do you need to buy a few maids back? The current price is very cheap, right?
"
The middle-aged manager of the tooth shop waited calmly for Yu Wenjie to finish flipping through the notebook, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Buy or not, there is indeed no problem with the procedure. I just have a question. As far as I know, the people in Youzhou have not fled here yet. How did you acquire so many people?"
Yu Wenjie returned the document in his hand to the guard on the side. His eagle eyes were fixed on Ya Xingguan Guan, trying to detect some clues from the changes in his expression.
However, the result still disappointed him. There was no change in the face of Yaxing Guanshi, he was as calm as ever.
"You're talking about this. We at Yaxing got the news and specially sent carriages and horses to bring these people back. After all, Youzhou is so far away. If we really wait for them to come over, we don't know how many 'good people' will die on the way.
."
Regarding the steward's explanation, Yu Wenjie was somewhat noncommittal, but he couldn't fault it at all. He could only nodded slightly, clasped his fists and left.
After leaving Yahang, Lao Li looked back at the gate of the ruined courtyard with some reluctance, and said in a low voice:
"Boss, are we leaving like this? If the water is clear, there will be no fish. There is definitely something wrong with the teeth!"
"So what if there's a problem? We can't find any evidence yet, and looking at the confident look of the manager, I'm afraid he's had to deal with a lot of joints."
Yuwen Jie waved his hand, and when several people behind him were a little disappointed, he suddenly changed the subject and continued:
"Don't worry, one more person means more mouths to eat. In this day and age, there are so many people here buying people, do you think it's normal? Follow me and have a look, maybe you can get something."
After saying that, Yu Wenjie seemed to have thought of something and added again:
"But remember, your life comes first, and if anything goes wrong, leave immediately."
…
In the courtyard, after a few people left, the face of the manager of the Dental Clinic, who had been smiling just now, instantly turned extremely gloomy.
"Master, we..."
One of the guards saw something wrong on the steward's face and wanted to step forward to explain. However, before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged steward slapped him hard in the face.
Snapped!
The loud slap knocked the guard unconscious, but the middle-aged man didn't care. He grabbed the guard's collar and said in a cold voice:
"What's going on? Didn't you say that the patrol here has a good relationship with the boss? Where did these people come from!"
"Sir...Master, this cannot be blamed on a small oversight. Who would have thought that police officers from other places would come over to meddle in other people's business."
The guard looked sad, but in his heart he had cursed Yu Wenjie and others a thousand times. They were indeed wearing a layer of skin. The dog noses of these government patrols were really smart.
"I don't care what excuses you have. If you mess up something big, just wait to be ordered by the Holy Cult to refine your soul and remove your bones. Now you can bring some people to do something to attract the attention of the Yuwen family."
The steward cursed fiercely, then threw it away, ignoring the trembling guard.
The steward's lips moved slightly, and a secret message was transmitted. After a few seconds, an old man wearing a strange black robe walked out of the house.
The strange thing is that Huzi and others searched the back room, but no one found the old man's existence.
After bowing respectfully to the old man in black robe, the steward said in a deep voice with a gloomy face:
"Those petty officials seem to have noticed that something is wrong. Please go and deal with it, Mr. Xia. Try to do it as secretly as possible so that no one will notice that something is wrong."
The old man in black robe didn't say anything when he heard the words, but nodded slightly. He gently threw his hand as skinny as a chicken's claw upwards, and five jet black copper coins flew into the air.
At a glance, many people noticed that the words engraved on the five copper coins were different from usual.
The old man's copper coin was engraved with "Xuanming Tongbao" on the front and "Peace in the afterlife" on the back. These words seemed to have special magic power. Just a glance at them made people feel like they were looking directly into the abyss.
‘Tongyou Emperor Qian’s reputation is indeed well-deserved.’
Shivering without any trace, the middle-aged steward secretly sighed and withdrew his gaze and no longer paid attention to the trajectory of the copper coins.
"Three Yangs are in the middle. These people have offended a lot of people."
The old man murmured with a smile, then took a step forward and quickly disappeared into the light and shadow.
…
"Hit me!"
"Damn, you stinky beggar, you stole something from our restaurant!"
In front of a restaurant, a group of waiters were surrounding a person, punching and kicking him. The person who was beaten did not fight back, but curled up into a ball, guarding a ceramic bowl in his hand.
The person who was beaten was the old beggar who kowtowed to Yu Wenjie in front of the Tutu Temple.
"Bah, pickled dregs stuff!"
After kicking in the circle for a while, either because they were tired or because the shopkeeper was afraid of affecting the business, several boys spat at the old beggar, stopped and left.
After lying on the ground for a while, the old beggar endured the pain in his body and walked out of the restaurant door without saying a word.
When he reached a remote alley, the old beggar sat down against the wall out of breath. He took out the pottery bowl in his arms and carefully wiped it with the remaining cloth on his body.
"I have someone to eat again, so I won't lose this meal, hehe, I won't lose..."
The old beggar's eyes were completely focused on the pottery bowl, and he didn't notice the shadow that appeared around him.
"It's really sad. People like you live like a maggot in a stinking ditch. People hate dogs. What's the point of living like this?"
A hoarse and deep voice rang in his ears. The old beggar looked up and saw the person shrouded in black robes. He couldn't see his face clearly. He could only see a pair of slightly green eyes through the gap.
"Ah, what did you say..."
The old beggar was a little confused by what the visitor said, but before he could argue, a bright yellow copper coin was just thrown down.
Seeing the money, the old beggar didn't care about anything else and hurriedly reached out to catch it. But the moment his palm touched the copper coin, his eyes couldn't help but trance.
"Go ahead, take the money and take revenge on the person who bullied you."
The hoarse voice sounded again, like the whisper of a devil. The old beggar stood up blankly, holding the copper coins tightly in his hand, and walked out of the alley with a confused look on his face.
