Royal road

Still naive.After driving the ox cart for half a day, Liang Feng realized that going home was not as easy as he imagined.Vehicles in this era did not have a shock absorber system, and due to years of wars, the official roads were in disrepair and uneven.Walking on it is like riding a bouncing cart. Although the stability of the ox cart is much higher than that of the horse cart, the viscera of the person who is also bumped will burst out of the cavity.

After finishing the affairs of Yaji and Li's Mansion, Liang Feng's spirit was already a little slack, and once the tenacity that he was holding on to was dissipated, the pain would sweep over him.Coupled with exhaustion and severe motion sickness, he developed a fever in the middle of the night that night, and the high fever persisted.

In a drowsy state, Liang Feng dreamed that he was driving a jeep and wandering around Chang'an Street with a few boys; The criminal suspect, that violent heartbeat; dreamed of the row after row of feasting bars on the Houhai seaside, and those girls with fashionable makeup and sweet smiles.

All kinds of dreams echoed in his mind, and he seemed lost in the corridor of memory, pushing open one door after another, looking back on his life across a thousand years of distance.The picture kept flashing, and finally, it landed in a mourning hall.A white-haired old man stood in front of the dead coffin, his back was straight, but his head was hanging very low, as if some unbearable weight crushed the old man who would never admit defeat.

He stood stiffly in front of the coffin, stroking the cold coffin face with his rough hands, a very low voice echoed in the room.

"Xiaofeng, you are a good boy, you didn't embarrass the Liang family..."

That tone was trembling, hurt, and heartbreakingly proud.A cloudy teardrop rolled down and landed on the old man's feet with a thud.

"Old man..." Liang Feng felt his heart throbbing. He wanted to rush up, kneel at the old man's feet, and slapped himself hard.He wanted to cry loudly, wanting to stop the bleak scene where the white-haired man sent the black-haired man.

Does he regret it?I regretted rushing up at that critical moment and blocked the bomb.If he could find out one second in advance, if he had the opportunity to draw his gun and shoot, if he knew earlier that there was one more person... Wan Qian might be rolling in his heart, biting his internal organs, making him unbearably painful.However, he knew that if he was given another chance, he would still rush forward.Don't care about yourself, risk your life.Because that is his duty, those people are his life and death companions.

He has no regrets.He is just, not reconciled!

There was a sudden gasp in the throat, and Liang Feng opened his eyes.

"Lang Jun! You finally woke up!"

A sob came from beside his ear, Liang Feng turned his head slowly, and saw a crying little girl with red eyes kneeling beside her.That is green bamboo.He is still on the bullock cart, still in this strange world...

"Lang Jun! You suddenly had a fever last night, and this servant thought you couldn't wake up! Huh, huh~ Let's go back, go back and find a medical worker..." Lu Zhu was terrified, crying out of context road.

The whole night, she couldn't close her eyes, just guarding her husband, constantly wiping his sweat and delivering medicine for him.How many times, she thought that there was no way to save Lang Jun, but unexpectedly, he could open his eyes again.

Looking at the little girl's eyes swollen from crying, Liang Feng moved his lips tiredly: "Use wine, wipe it off, forehead, underarm... Green bamboo, don't cry, don't cry..."

A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl should be pampered by her family and raised in a deep boudoir.It's not like this, kneeling in the crude ox cart, staying up all night, crying with red and swollen eyes, desperately serving the master who is about to die of illness.He is not the head of the Liang family who is used to rich clothes and fine food.He can't see this.

Under Liang Feng's soft instructions, the strong wine prepared for his body was quickly taken out and smeared on his body.Of course, those wines are not as strong as the high-alcohol wines of later generations, and they can barely be effective, and more of them are cold water towels that are constantly changed.Liang Feng didn't let the ox cart stop just like that, or find another town to settle down.He had to rush back to the Liang Mansion. Only when he returned there would he have the imperial physician sent by Wang Wen, so that his crippled body could have hope of surviving.

The bullock cart creaked and moved forward, bumping endlessly.Liang Feng was wrapped in a soft brocade quilt, his mind was not clear.Sometimes the past appeared in front of his eyes, and sometimes it was the anxious face of Lu Zhu.The two worlds were entangled, but he didn't tear them apart.He has no nostalgia, no expectation, and no sense of reality for this strange world.Just like a traveler who strays in by mistake, he is in a daze, without even the slightest concern.

The road ahead is long, and it seems that there will never be an end.Suddenly, the bullock cart trembled slightly and stopped.There was a voice in my ear.

"Master Lang, there is a slave transport team blocking the road ahead."

The bamboo curtain was picked up, Liang Feng raised his eyes to look outside.I saw a group of people standing in the middle of the road, a dozen young and strong men were squatting or kneeling, being scolded by the officers and soldiers guarding them.The sticks and whips hit their heads and faces, making those gray figures even more embarrassed.Among this group of people, there was only one young man standing straight facing the officers and soldiers.The huge wooden yoke was on the shoulders, which could bend anyone's spine, but the man did not back down half a step, standing upright in front of the officers and soldiers holding the whips, as if protecting his comrades behind him.

With just one glance, something seemed to touch Liang Feng's heart.He asked, "Who is this?"

"It should be Jienu." A Liang has a lot of experience, so he immediately replied, "General Ningbei is currently selling Jienu, and he probably just caught it."

"As long as you catch it, you can buy and sell it at will?" Liang Feng frowned.It is impossible for any imperial court to allow this kind of human trading. Isn't this forcing people to rebel?

A Liang replied as a matter of course: "In the past two years, there has been a great famine in Bingzhou, and many places have been hit by disasters. Those Jie slaves are strong, but the poor have no food to eat. Of course, they should be sold to wealthy households. Otherwise, wouldn't it be bad if they cause trouble?"

This is simply a deadlock of logic.Liang Feng twitched his lips mockingly: "Then go buy them back."

This had nothing to do with him, but the education he had received from childhood made Liang Feng unable to accept the matter of human trafficking with peace of mind.Especially when he was chained in this remnant body, he couldn't help but watch other people being chained in wooden shackles, being imprisoned and enslaved unwillingly.

Hearing this, A Liang was a little dazed, but Liang Feng had already put down the bamboo curtain.Scratching his hair helplessly, Ah Liang walked towards the team of officers and soldiers.

"You bunch of sons of bitches! The general gave you a way of life out of kindness, don't be shameless!" Sun Shichang was furious at the moment, furiously swinging the whip in his hand.He has already traveled to Wu Township several times, and he does not know how many Jie slaves he brought back.No one ever deserved a beating like this kid.If it wasn't for a few strings of rewards, he would have killed this bastard who didn't know what to do.

The whip slapped on the face of the young man in the shackle, making a dark red mark on his left cheek.The opponent's gray-blue eyes seemed to be on fire, with fury and killing intent.Sun Shichang was shocked and pulled out his waist knife with his backhand. He didn't believe it, he couldn't accept this lowly slave!

"Yiyan! Don't be brave, I'm fine..." A person behind him yelled softly, tugging at the hem of the young man's clothes, but the young man didn't intend to back down, but tensed his back, wanting to fit himself on him.Seeing that the two of them were about to fight with real swords and guns, a voice suddenly came from a distance: "Master, are you going to sell Jie slaves back? I wonder if you can sell them to my master."

Sun Shichang was stunned for a moment, and ignored the kid in front of him, turned his head, and saw a short and strong man walking over with a smiling face.Behind him are three bullock carts and many servants. It looks like a rich family.Unexpectedly, he ran into a buyer halfway, and Sun Shichang rolled his eyes, and immediately said with a big face: "These slaves are going to be sold to Jinyang, how can they be sold to you casually?"

Being able to say this means that there is still room for negotiation.A Liang immediately said: "Since it's all business, why waste the rations going back and forth? My master really wants to buy a few Jie slaves to take care of at home, Mr. Jun, can you make it easier..."

Don't reach out and hit the smiling face.Seeing this smiling steward, Sun Shichang thought to himself.Shangfeng just ordered them to take people, more or less depends on luck, and there is no fixed limit.If you bring it back to the county, a Jie slave will only reward you with two small pennies, but if you buy and sell it privately, even if the money you get is shared equally by a team of brothers, it will not be too little.

Thinking of this, he finally showed a smile on his face: "This is the strongest man, and if he sells it to the county, the asking price will be at least [-] yuan!"

A Liang sucked his teeth: "It's about this time, how can Jie Nu still have such a price. I like the party, and it looks like one is only two thousand dollars."

"The price was sold to a noble family. What are your identities?" Mr. Sun squinted at the convoy behind. These ox carts were all simple and simple, and they didn't look like a convoy of nobles.

"My lord is Tinghou!" A Liang's face darkened, it's okay to make him humble, but insulting his lord is absolutely unacceptable!

Unexpectedly, there is actually a title, and Sun Shichang immediately felt a lot guilty.He can't tell the difference in the titles of these dignitaries, he only knows that it's best not to offend such a family.

After thinking about it, Sun Shichang finally let go of his mouth and said: "There are eleven people in total, so it's [-] yuan. But now I don't have a deed, so I can only give you a token, and I can make up for it when I go back to the county."

A Liang frowned. The price was okay, but it would be troublesome not to have a body certificate. After hesitating for a while, he went back to the ox cart and asked in a low voice, "Master, the chief said that the total cost is [-] yuan. The deed must be reissued at the county seat."

Eleven large living people are roughly equal to the price of three doses of Hanshi Powder.Liang Feng snorted coldly, in this world, human life is much cheaper than luxury goods.Although the money he brought out was not much, in order to clear up the "stealing medicine" case, the Li family specially stuffed [-] money into Yan Sheng's house, which was just right for buying someone.Nodding his head, he said, "Take it."

Having received the order from the patriarch, A Liang didn't waste any time, picked out [-] yuan and handed it to Chief Sun.This is completely a windfall, Captain Sun smiled so much that his face was blooming, he hurriedly took the money, took out a wooden sign from his pocket, and handed it to A Liang: "Take this to the county government to make up the deed. Sun Xiancheng is fine."

Sun Xiancheng is his cousin, as long as the joints are opened, it is easy to issue a few body contracts.Because of this, he dared to smuggle people out.

A Liangzai checked the wooden sign carefully, then nodded: "I will take these Jie slaves away."

"It's easy to say, the wooden shackles are also given to you. It's best to wait until you go back to pick them up. These Jie slaves haven't been trained yet, so they are very presumptuous, so as not to hurt the nobles." Sun Shichang shouted to the soldiers behind him, " What are you still doing in a daze? Take people there quickly!"

Like delivering some goods, the group of big-headed soldiers pushed and shoved a few Jie people to the side of the convoy.Sun Shichang bowed to the bullock cart in a similar manner, and then led his men away.

It was resold before reaching the county town, and those Jie people were a little worried.A Liang ignored them, and returned to the car to report: "Master, everyone has bought back."

A corner of the bamboo curtain was lifted, and a tired voice came: "The wooden shackles are gone, get them something to eat."

A Liang was stunned for a moment, should he remove the wooden shackle now?Still want to give food?However, he didn't dare to refute the order given by the Lord Lang. After bowing, he turned around and said angrily: "The Lord Lord is kind-hearted. He bought you and ordered you to go to the shackles. Don't be ignorant, Ann Divide a little, after arriving at the Liang Mansion, you will have a mouthful of food!"

This group of people had been starving for a day, and now they heard that there was food to eat, and they didn't need to wear shackles anymore, so they immediately became agitated.This is a great thing. Now that the famine is so severe, it is much better to be a slave to a noble family than to starve to death in the wilderness.There are a few clever people who have come to Ah Liang's side, trying to curry favor with this future boss.

A lame man tugged at the young man who was still standing beside him, excitedly said: "Yiyan, we are saved this time!"

The man didn't answer his words, he stared straight at the ox cart with the bamboo curtain down, and gave a absent-minded "hmm".After a while, he found that the bamboo curtain had no intention of opening again, so he silently looked away.
