Power ministers always make things difficult for me

Glen.

In order to reach Jinjiang as soon as possible, Pei Qi and his party traveled for a day and a night, but at this time, the sky was already dark again.

"Xu Chi." Pei Qi stuck his head out to look at the sky and ordered: "When we get out of the valley, we will find an inn to stay in Chaozhou and leave tomorrow morning."

Xu Chi nodded: "Yes."

Although these journeys are nothing to the three hundred shadow guards, the Imperial Master is a woman after all, so it doesn't hurt to take a break.

He gave the order, and the driver in front understood it and immediately increased his speed.

It’s just that the world is ever-changing, and accidents can happen at any time.

When approaching Chaozhou, Pei Qi heard a quarrel of curses in the distance, accompanied by whipping from time to time.

Pei Qi was about to ask what was going on when he saw Xu Chi stopping the convoy, and he went to roughly investigate the situation.

When he came back, Xu Chi stood in front of the car and whispered: "The people in front should be farmers who often come to the valley to hunt. Today they accidentally caught a wolf boy when they went into the mountains. They wanted to take it to a Chaozhou store to make a lot of money. It’s just that this wolf boy escaped in the middle of the journey. He’s just been captured, so of course he needs to be reprimanded.”

Pei Qi's brows furrowed even more as he listened.

Wolf boy?

In layman's terms, it is a child who was abandoned by his parents when he was young and grew up alone in the mountains with wolves and wild beasts.

But wasn’t the sale of children already banned by the late emperor’s decree? Even if he is a wolf child, he is still a child.

She remembered that several stores were closed down and a large group of people were punished. Why are there still such stores in Chaozhou?

This is really unreasonable!

Pei Qi got off the carriage and strode forward, only to see the hunters still raising their whips and swinging them towards the wolf boy with red marks and unkempt hair.

"stop!"

As Pei Qi shouted, Xu Chi didn't know when he had a stone in his hand, and he threw it at the hunter holding the whip with quick eyes and hands.

The Orion only felt a pain in his wrist, followed by waves of numbness. He let out a sigh, lowered his head and held his hand, and then looked at Pei Qi fiercely in the direction of the voice.

"Was that you little bitch!?" When her wrist relaxed a little, the Orion picked up the whip and prepared to step forward, but when she noticed the shadow guard behind her, she immediately stopped and cursed: " Who are you? Are you nosy?"

Pei Qi snorted secretly, but smiled kindly on his face: "We were just passing by here on our way to Chaozhou, but we saw you beating and scolding this child. I wonder what mistake he made to make you so violent?"

"It's none of your business!" Before the hunter could say anything, the lean man standing next to him holding the chain spoke. Seeing that Pei Qirou was weak and not threatening, his tone became even more arrogant: " I advise you to stay less involved in our brother Zhao’s affairs, otherwise you will anger the brothers and even you will be arrested and sold!”

A look of displeasure flashed across Pei Qi's eyes. It seemed that these people were not just ordinary hunters.

But he is a habitual criminal who buys and sells people.

I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing during my trip to Jinjiang.

It would have been fine if she hadn't met him, but now that he had bumped into her, she couldn't ignore him.

Pei Qi took a few steps forward and looked at the lean man with a smile: "Since some of you are going to sell this child, you might as well consider selling it to me directly. I want this child."

Not one of these people is very smart. They just make money by providing "goods" to others. I'm afraid they are not even the people at the bottom of the store.

But what she wanted to know was where these people were going to send the "goods".

When Brother Zhao heard this, his hostile eyes softened slightly, but he didn't believe that Pei Qi would really buy him, so he had to ask tentatively: "Why did you buy this wolf boy?"

Pei Qi paused, having expected that he would ask this question, and countless reasons flashed through his mind. She said without blushing, "To be honest, I am going to Chaozhou from the imperial capital just to visit my old friend whom I haven't seen for many years. He has a weird personality and is very picky about gifts, but..."

"He has a quirk. He likes to watch slaves fighting with wild beasts in private. This wolf boy looks like a human but not human. I must give it to him as a gift. He must have more ways to play."

As Pei Qi spoke every word, Brother Zhao couldn't help but show some timidity. He didn't believe that such a ridiculous thing could be said by a harmless girl with an expressionless face. But he had been doing this for many years, and those Rich people have more or less strange habits, so he naturally believed Pei Qi's words.

If you don't make this money, you won't make it in vain.

Thinking of this, he looked at Pei Qi: "Little girl, how much money are you prepared to pay for this wolf child?"

Pei Qi curled his lips slightly.

Hooked.

She thought for a moment, then slowly stretched out a finger and looked at him with a faint smile.

"One hundred taels?" Brother Zhao's eyes lit up. This little girl is really grand. You know, the one in Chaozhou only gave fifty taels!

Pei Qi pursed his lips, couldn't help but feel a little funny, and shook his head slightly.

One hundred taels? Think beautifully.

"One thousand taels??" The lean man also stood up and opened his mouth in disbelief.

Even Xu Chi beside him looked at Pei Qi unconsciously when he heard these words.

He knew that the Imperial Master's Office was wealthy, and he also knew that Pei Qi was not a stingy person, but giving so much money to these evil bandits was a bit...

What a waste of money?

It's just that he doesn't understand Pei Qi's personality. If Jiang Lingfeng were here, he might have turned his back and smiled secretly.

Pei Qi shook his head again, and then opened his mouth unhurriedly.

"One or two."

"make a deal.

When Brother Zhao saw Pei Qi shaking her head again, he thought she would give a higher offer and was about to shout a deal, but he held it back after hearing the "one or two" clearly.

After realizing that he had been tricked, he looked angrily and cursed angrily: "You f*cking tricked me, right?"

When Xu Chi saw this, he didn't expect that Pei Qi was playing tricks on them. After realizing it, the hunters were already aggressively trying to get an explanation.

Unexpectedly, this national master would also lie to others...

"It seems that some of you are not satisfied with my offer." Pei Qi took back his hand and smiled even more, but there was an inexplicable coolness in that smile.

"But it doesn't matter, the price is still negotiable, but..."

"I need to discuss this with the person next to me."

After finishing speaking, Pei Qi winked at Xu Chi and raised the corners of his lips: "Then please trouble Chief Xu and negotiate with these 'good people' on my behalf to come up with a price that satisfies them."

Understanding what Pei Qi meant, Xu Chi raised his eyes and glanced at the group of people headed by Brother Zhao. As he walked forward, he clenched his fists on his chest and squeezed them loudly.

"Subordinate... take orders."
