Chapter 265
The two men looked at each other, but the long faced man said, "I dare not deceive you. Since you are a Taoist, you should also know the rules of the Taoist. We take money to do things for others, regardless of cause and effect. I really don't know the identity of the master. However, the young master said that the younger one was robbing the civilian girls. This young one is really wronged. These two girls are not civilian women, but runaway slaves. That's why we two agreed to take them back! "
Xiaojiu and Li Yuanjia were stunned. According to the law of the Xia Dynasty, domestic slaves were the private property of their owners and were regarded as family property. They were in the same line with miscellaneous animals and goods and could be sold freely. It's a felony for a slave to flee without permission. According to the law of the Xia Dynasty, he is to be caught, beaten, or even sentenced to prison and beheaded.
The middle-aged man, Bai Shuang and Zi Luo's face changed greatly, especially Bai Shuang and Zi Luo's. they were almost as white as paper. The two sisters held each other's arms tightly and squeezed together. They were trembling and frightened, as if they were about to be caught in a cage.
Xiaojiu can't help frowning. She always thinks that Baishuang and ziluo are different from ordinary maids. It turns out that they are runaway maids. That's no wonder. Since they are runaway slaves, how can they open a restaurant? Xiaojiu can't help but raise his elbow and pestle Li Yuanjia hard. It's against the law to hide runaway slaves. Isn't this guy knowingly guilty?
At a glance, Li Yuanjia knew what Xiao Jiu was thinking. He complained in a low voice: "I don't know. I thought they moved to Kyoto from other places. Who knew they were runaway slaves."
Small nine rolled his eyes to express disbelief. When Li Yuanjia was busy explaining, the middle-aged man suddenly walked up to them and fell down on his knees with a plop. Small nine was so scared that he almost didn't jump up. Fortunately, he was held down by Li Yuanjia in time to avoid making a fool of himself.
Li Yuanjia was in a particularly complicated mood at the moment. He frowned and asked in a low voice, "what are you doing?"
The middle-aged man kowtowed and begged: "two young masters, the younger one and his daughter are slaves, but they are not cheap slaves. The younger one and his daughter are good slaves. They are not domestic slaves. They don't mean to deceive the two young masters."
When Luo San heard the man's words, he scolded: "fart, you are cheap slaves who signed the death contract. If we didn't listen to the master's words, we would not agree. Although our brothers are greedy for money, they don't want to ruin the face of our Tianxiong gang for a little silver. If our leader knows that, he will break our legs. "
With that, Luo Sanchong, Xiao Jiu and Li Yuanjia clasped their fists and said, "two young masters, please listen to my words. The words of those who have fled to the Lord are not believable. Don't be fooled by the pity of these two little girls. I don't know that there must be something hateful about them."
Small nine misty pulled Li Yuanjia, this what cheap mouth slave, good mouth slave, death contract alive, she is a bit also don't understand, in the end who said is true, who is false?
Li Yuanjia's mind was a little confused, but he still understood it better than Xiao Jiu, so he said to Xiao Jiu quietly: "cheap slaves are domestic slaves. All the generations are slaves. What they sign with the master's family is called death contract; A Liangkou slave is one who has signed a deed of sale. It usually lasts for five years, ten years and twenty years. When the time limit comes, he can redeem himself and regain his freedom. "
Little nine nodded and said in a low voice, "well, who do you think they said is true?"
Li Yuanjia blinked and said helplessly, "where do I know? Let's hear what they say. "
Li Yuanjia looked up at the middle-aged man. When he heard Luo San's words, he waved his hand and said, "no, everything I said is true. If there's a lie, let heaven break it! The small one and her two daughters signed a five-year living contract. They had already collected enough money to redeem themselves. However, the boss of zuixianlou refused to let anyone go and wanted to give Bai Shuang away. The small one had no choice but to risk taking them to escape! "
With that, the middle-aged man kowtowed more and more and begged: "please, two young masters, save my two girls. If they are caught back, they will have no way to live. Please, young masters, please Bai Shuang and ziluo kneel down when they see that the middle-aged man's forehead is blue and red. Bai Shuang cries: "childe, what my father said is true. If it wasn't for me, our family wouldn't fall into this situation. It's all my fault!"
The middle-aged man cried, hugged Baishuang and comforted him: "I don't blame you. It's dad's incompetence. It's dad's inability to protect you!"
"I don't blame my sister or my father. It's the bad guy's fault. He cheated my father. He wanted to give my sister away. Who will save us? Help us, Wuwuwuwu. "Ziluo rushed up and cried.
See a family of three kneeling on the ground crying into a ball, small nine and Li Yuanjia you look at me, I look at you, do not know what to do.
Luo San and the big man with a long face also have some silly eyes. Xiao Jiu has a headache because of the crying. He can't help tearing down Li Yuanjia's sleeve and signaling him to deal with it.
Li Yuanjia scratched his head and thought about it. He stepped forward to help the middle-aged man, Baishuang and ziluo sisters and asked in a deep voice, "you just said zuixianlou. Is your master the owner of zuixianlou? If you want us to help you, you have to explain to us first, don't you? "
As soon as the middle-aged man heard that Li Yuanjia intended to help, he was overjoyed. He quickly wiped his tears and said, "five years ago, my wife was burned and seriously ill because of a fire at home. But I went to Lefang to become a zither player, so I met yanniang, a dancer. In order to cure her, I borrowed a lot of money from yanniang. After her death, yanniang asked me for money. I was penniless at that time, and I didn't have any money to pay her back. Yanniang was eager to use money, so she said to introduce me a good place, so that I could not only earn money, but also give Baishuang and ziluo a place to live. "
"She said that a good place to go is zuixianlou?" Li Yuanjia asked with a frown.
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "exactly, in order to pay off yanniang's money as soon as possible, I took two girls and yanniang to the zuixianlou in Kyoto. Mrs. Cao of zuixianlou was generous. She not only hired me as a zither player, but also left Baishuang and ziluo to help us in the back kitchen. She gave us a lot of money every month. I thought I met a good man, but unexpectedly -- "the man couldn't help laughing bitterly when he thought of the situation at that time.
Hearing this, Xiao Jiu asked curiously, "is the zuixianlou you mentioned the restaurant in changxingfang? I've been there several times. How come I've never seen a maid in his family? "
Li Yuan Jia Leng Leng vague way: "that, he said is drunk fairy building backyard." The new computer version will be opened after you collect it.
