Is this good or bad?

Chapter 186

In the morning, Jia Ping'an practiced his sword as usual, and then had breakfast.

If something happened today, he would explain it to Du He.

The population of the Jia family is simple. Generally speaking, after the two brothers of the Jia family go out, the servants just clean up and prepare dinner, and other things are gone.

This kind of work can be called old-age care.

So Du He cherished such days very much.

After breakfast, the Jia brothers went to the Yamen, and Du He stared at other people's work.

Ah Fu was chirping by the side, but Du He had already gained experience, so he would never let him go out.

The helpless Ah Fu was lying on the side, but those chickens and ducks did not come.

Ah Fu has stayed away from horses and chickens since a duck licked his poop, which is very sad.

Du He watched them clean up, explained the purchase, and left Daodefang by himself.

He went all the way to Renshi in Dongshi.

The so-called human market is a place where people are trafficked.

Those men and women stared blankly at the passing people, hoping that a philanthropist would buy them.

Du He found a few human traffickers, first saluted and smiled, and then asked: "I don't know if you know the wife of a certain wife, Li Shi, whose nickname is Xinghua. His son is called Dudu, and he is eight years old this year."

The traffickers looked at him with indifference in their eyes.

In the eyes of these people, people are animals, like livestock, and what Du He is asking about are slaves, so they naturally don't have a good face.

A human trafficker took a look at him, "You can tell that you are a slave and have been an official before?"

The eyes of these people are so poisonous that you have nowhere to hide.

Du Hedui smiled and said: "Yes! A certain Du He, what did you say that way? It's just that he was ineffective later, and his wife and children were troubled. Now that he has found a good master, he wants to find his wife and children and go there .”

The human trafficker looked at him indifferently, "It's always money, so I will help you find out, don't think it's for money, then the money will be used to buy news for others."

"Thank you very much!" Du He said joyfully, "I'm going to get some money right away."

He originally had a little savings, and when he was in charge of Jia's house, Jia Ping'an gave him generous monthly money, so he was always able to afford it.

Later he gave the money and went home to wait for news.

The next day, he simply came to buy in person, and went to the people's market to inquire.

The trafficker just said no, just wait.

Another trafficker said: "This Du He's name is familiar. I remember committing crimes back then, which resulted in his family being punished as slaves. Most of us know that his wife and children are waiting for Hong Xia's family in Changling? Why don't you tell me?"

The trafficker said indifferently: "I told you earlier, he would feel that the usual money is not worth it. Besides, it's not a certain wife and children, so why is a certain anxious?"

Another person said: "Our human trafficking is a wicked thing, don't be too greedy."

The trafficker said coldly: "Since I started this business, I have never taken myself seriously. I even sent my son to my elder brother's home, and I send money there every year. The money in my family does not exceed five pennies. If you want retribution, just come." .”

"Du He is here."

The traffickers returned to their indifference.

"Found it, your wife and children are at the Hou's house in Changling."

"Thank you!" Du He tremblingly gave the final payment, and the trafficker frowned, "Why are you shaking? Can't bear it?"

Du He shook his head, his eyes were a little red, "Yes, I can't bear it, I'm afraid of poverty."

He changed into new clothes, took care of his appearance carefully, and then went to Hong's house.

The Hou's mansion looks much more grand than the old Jia's, and the gatekeepers all raised their heads, "Who are you looking for?"

Du He bowed his head, "Someone"

He wanted to ask to see Hong Xia, but then he thought, he was just a slave, how could he have the right to ask to see a founding prince?

He took out a bunch of copper coins, and said with a flattering smile: "A certain name is Du He. He made a mistake and made his wife and children slaves. Now he wants to buy his wife and children."

The door wanted to accept the money, but when he heard the words, Du He spit on his face and scolded: "The nobles in Chang'an City, who has sold slaves? It's not shameful enough, get out!"

Du He's expression changed slightly, and he took out another string of money, "I'd be very grateful if I dared to ask my brother to inquire on my behalf."

Just asking, this can be had.

Menzi took the money, "Ah Lang happens to be at home, you wait."

"Thank you very much."

Menzi went all the way in and met Hong Xia later.

Hong Xia has fair skin and a well-groomed dark beard. She is reading a book.

"Ah Lang, some relatives of the slaves at home came to look for them, saying they wanted to redeem them."

Hong Xia raised her head, frowned and said, "Shoot out!"

Later, Menzi rushed out with several servants, punching and kicking Du He until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

"Alang said, get out!"

Du He was in pain all over his body, and said with tears in his eyes: "I implore Changling Hou to be merciful, my family will pray for Changling Hou sooner or later."

"roll!"

The corner door was closed.

Du He was covered in bruises, but the despair in his heart made him more uncomfortable than the pain in his body.

He knelt outside, recalling his experience, and couldn't help crying bitterly.

He knelt until noon, but the Hong family had no one to answer him, so he had to go back.

Back at Jia's house, Hongyan saw that he was in a mess and his face was bruised, so he exclaimed, "Who did it?"

Du Heqiang smiled and said, "Someone fell by himself."
