Chapter 82 The water is too cold 【Subscription】

As soon as the words "human trafficker" came out, the middle-aged man's eyes narrowed instantly, and he subconsciously wanted to run away. Jia Xiyi pressed his shoulders tightly, making him unable to move.

Jia Cong chuckled, and said quietly: "It seems that my guess is right! If so, then I will give you a shackle. I will take this girl away and see if I can find her biological parents!"

At this time, one of the sufferers stepped forward, bowed to Jia Cong and said, "This young master, Feng Yuan, has signed a contract with this person, agreeing to pass the door in three days. Anyway, there is a contract as proof, this girl I am already a subordinate, I hope that the young master will not cause any more trouble..."

Jia Congli ignored Feng Yuan and signaled his soldiers to take Zhen Yinglian back.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yuan impulsively stepped forward to stop her, and even grabbed Zhen Yinglian's sleeve, almost pulling her down.

Jia Xiyi hit Feng Yuan's arm with the scabbard, and shouted loudly: "Presumptuous! How dare you be rude in front of Lord Qianhu!"

Whoa!
Such a small thousand household officials!
The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar in an instant. There were not many people in Jinling City who could be called adults of a thousand households. What's more, this little fat man obviously spoke the official language of the capital, which was still very different from Wu Yin.

Feng Yuan let go of his hand in pain, but he still stood in front of Jia Cong.Chongwen Academy advocates the idea of ​​suppressing martial arts with literature, and the officials of a thousand households are no more than five ranks, so how could he be afraid.

What's more, the child in front of him is only eight or nine years old, so there is no possibility that he will have meritorious deeds. It must be those fat-brained noble children who have won the reward by virtue of the grace of their ancestors.

How could we, disciples of saints, be afraid of vulgar warriors?

Just as Feng Yuan was about to speak, a scholar next to him shook his head: "Brother Feng asked this girl earlier, and this person is indeed her father. Moreover, the contract has been established. According to Da Xia's law, this girl is already Brother Feng's You are an official of thousands of households, and you must act according to the law!"

Another scholar also got involved, looked at Jia Cong contemptuously, and said with a sneer, "Extremely extreme, so what about thousands of households? Could it be that Mr. Qianhu dares to violate the law? Wealth cannot be promiscuous, and might cannot be subdued. I Waiting for the disciples of the saints will not be afraid just because you are a high-ranking official, you must have a good argument with Lord Qianhu..."

"Zheng!"

Jia Cong directly pulled out the Yanling Saber from his waist, and with a flash of cold light, it hit the throat of the last scholar who spoke.

The cold touch made the man shut up immediately, and subconsciously shuddered.The rest of the people were also as quiet as cicadas, especially after the sword pierced the scholar's skin, they screamed in fright.

"Blood! Blood! I bleed!"

The scholar who was held by Jia Cong with the knife was dizzy for a while, his lower body was instantly soaked, and he even peed his pants in the street.

puff!

Seeing this man's performance, Jia Cong couldn't help laughing, put his knife back into its sheath and said to Xue Pan, "Brother Xue, guess what I just thought of?"

Xue Pan looked confused, and asked suspiciously, "What?"

Jia Cong looked at the Qinhuai River flowing eastward, withdrew his smile and became serious. He sighed and said three words: "The water is too cold!"

Of course Xue Pan didn't know what the cold water represented, but Jia Cong was filled with emotion.

He said to Jia Shishi: "Go to the people from Jinling Mansion and let them investigate this matter. Since it is a human trafficker, this is definitely not the only victim."

Jia Shishi looked at the shivering scholars, pointed at them with disdain and asked, "Little San Ye, what about these scholars?"

"If there is no business, there will be no harm. They themselves have said that they must act according to the law, so they will hand it over to Jinling Mansion..."

Jia Cong hurriedly said this, and suddenly remembered that Xue Pan was also one of the buyers.

He said apologetically to Xue Pan: "But Brother Xue is going to suffer a lot..."

……

Speaking of which, the prefect of Jinling is still an old acquaintance of the Jia family, and maybe it was really a family 500 years ago.

Jia Yucun, named Hua, styled Shifei, nicknamed Yucun.

Born as a second-class Jinshi, he was dismissed due to corruption and favoritism in the past. He was hired to the Lin family and served as Daiyu's first teacher. He used his relationship with Lin Ruhai to attach himself to the Rongguo Mansion.

With the help of Jia Zheng, he was restored to his original post. It has been several years since he was promoted to the fourth rank of Jinling magistrate.

When he saw Jia Cong's certificate that Jia Shixi took out, he immediately remembered the experience of bowing his knees in the front hall of Rongguo Mansion.

This is an unbearable memory for him, a fourth-rank official who was born as a Jinshi. Unfortunately, his official position is not big enough now to fight against a behemoth like Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Yucun took a deep breath, cupped his hands with a smile on his face and asked, "Since Mr. Cong has come to Jinling, why don't you come and look for me, so that I can do my best as a landlord. Otherwise, let Xigong and Zheng Knowing that I failed to take good care of Third Master Cong, wouldn't you be annoyed?"

"Returning to my lord, the young third master received the order of the saint to visit Mrs. Fengsheng. Later, he met Mrs. Xue's family. You should also know that Mrs. Xue's family is my in-law. If the elders have an invitation, the young third master can't refuse. "

Jia Shishi felt uncomfortable from the moment he saw Jia Yucun, and resisted the urge to kill him, saying: "My lord, it's more important to deal with the case first. If it wasn't for the little third master, this trafficker would really have succeeded." By the way, that girl was taken to Xue's house by the third master, if you need it during the trial, you can send someone to come to Xue's house to send a message."

……

The matter of listening to the music that was originally planned fell through, and he was accused of buying and selling people. Xue Pan felt that his whole body was not good.

He asked aggrievedly: "Brother Cong, brother, I didn't offend you, did you? Why did you take me out?"

"Great Xia's law, if a person is sold as a slave, regardless of the first offender or an accomplice, he will be punished with one hundred sticks and flow for three thousand miles; if a person is a wife and concubine's descendant, he will be punished with a hundred stick and three years for imprisonment. Whoever resells the children of a good family in the name of a similar person shall be punished according to the crime of betraying a person. For those who lure and sell their beloved as slaves with their counterparts, they shall be sentenced to one hundred sticks and three years in prison; those who are wives, concubines and grandchildren shall be punished with ninety sticks and two and a half years in prison."

Jia Cong drank the tea in the cup, first bowed his hands apologetically to Mrs. Xue and Xue Baochai, and then explained to Xue Pan: "It is also stipulated that those who are seduced will have a reduced punishment. Brother Xue, I understand. ?"

Daxia called the behavior of using violence or fraud to deprive others of their freedom and put them in a state of enslavement as "Lueren", and the behavior of selling Lue's population as "Liueren".

To put it simply, human traffickers will be severely punished by the law, and the buyer will also be punished by one class.Children from wealthy families like Xue Pan are no exception. At most, because of ignorance, they paid money to atone for their crimes, exempted them from exile and exile, and so on.

How could Xue Pan understand these things? When he heard that he was not only going to beat the board but also go into exile, he immediately became anxious.

"Hey, brother Cong, I really don't know. Not only was the money given to the trafficker, but also beaten by those sour scholars. Look, look, it's still bleeding!"

Mrs. Xue felt sorry for her son, and she also complained about Jia Cong's extravagance.But in the end it was still reasonable, and under Xue Baochai's soft comfort, he didn't say anything harsh.

Jia Cong comforted: "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet..."

After listening to Jia Cong's explanation, Xue's mother and son understood Jia Cong's plan.

"Auntie, originally I wouldn't make this a big deal, but someone my nephew saw told me today that behind Chongwen Academy are the three major general chambers of commerce. They have been playing with Xue's idea, how about Take this opportunity to test the bottom line of the three major general chambers of commerce. Anyway, compared to those few scholars who obviously know the truth, Big Brother Xue will be beaten a few times at most, don’t you think?”

Of course Mrs. Xue knew that the three major general chambers of commerce had been trying to plot the Xue family's ideas, but after all, she was a housewife, and she always hesitated and couldn't make up her mind when it came to her son.

On the contrary, Xue Baochai, who was at the side, clenched his fists and persuaded softly: "Brother Cong is right. I have asked someone to find out. The person who is with Feng Yuan today is the grandson of Qian Qianyi. The Qian family can be reconciled." Let's not deal with it, anyway, my brother is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, it's just a few boards, it's not a problem. Let's make things bigger and see what his Qian family will do!"

With Jia Cong behind him, the Xue family will not fight back. When Jia Cong is gone, how can the Xue family withstand the joint oppression of the three major chambers of commerce.

Is it really necessary to go north to the capital to avoid disaster and survive?
The weak-tempered Mrs. Xue can bear it, but how can the proud Xue Baochai bear it?
She bowed to Jia Cong Yingying: "Now there are only orphans and widows left in Xue's family, and the enemy is powerful. Please also ask Brother Cong to help my family through the crisis. Baochai is very grateful!"

Jia Cong hurriedly jumped up, avoided the side and waved his hands again and again: "Hey, hey, what are you doing, sister Xue? Aren't you hitting me in the face? Hurry up, get up... Aunt, please persuade sister Xue..."

As expected of Xue Baochai's exquisite mind, she seized the opportunity to set Jia Cong up.

But Jia Cong also intends to make a move. First, he hates the traffickers the most, and second, he thinks of Lin Ruhai who is still fighting against the salt merchants in Yangzhou.

This group of unscrupulous merchants in the south of the Yangtze River has become a cancer that restricts the development of the country, not only the salt merchants, but also stabbed Lin Ruhai all over the states in the south of the Yangtze River.

And the three major general chambers of commerce that monopolized the major commercial firms in the south of the Yangtze River once contributed to the flames.After all, what merchant would not be tempted by Yanyin?

After all, he is also Sister Lin's father, the father-in-law of Third Master Cong, since you guys dare to stab a knife, then I might as well fight with you!

Mrs. Xue couldn't hold back her daughter, so she listened to Baochai's advice and nodded in agreement with Jia Cong's plan.While Jia Cong was discussing the details with Baochai, Jia Shishi sent the latest information.

As a local snake, Wei Song found out the details of this trafficker in just two hours.If you don't check, you don't know. Checking it really made Wei Song's heart shake.

After reading Wei Song's handwritten letter, Jia Cong was overjoyed and full of anger.

"This damned Li Xun, he dares to make any kind of black-hearted money! Can he sleep at night with this kind of money that is detrimental to morality and conscience?"

Jia Cong, who jumped up against the case, walked out of the main hall and greeted his soldiers: "Uncle Eleven, follow the clues given by Uncle Wei to investigate and rescue those poor people first. Remember, those traffickers try to catch them alive, Li Xun I want the dog's life!"
