This Su Zhong really doesn't know what life and death is. He dares to speak for Li Xing at this time. He is simply seeking death.
Many people started to make plans in their minds.
Once Su Zhong is killed by the second shopkeeper, his position might fall on his head.
Among the younger brothers who had just joined Su Xiaozhong, some were happy, some were watching the show, but no one was worried about his safety.
What is a drinking and eating buddy? This is a drinking and eating buddy, a drinking and eating relationship.
Su Xiaozhong felt no wave of emotion at the cold touch on his neck, but his face was trembling with fear. Finally, he simply closed his eyes, ready to die at the hands of the emperor.
The second shopkeeper found his behavior funny.
He dropped the knife.
Su Xiaozhong felt a light sensation on his neck and opened his eyes.
The second shopkeeper laughed at him and said, "You are very good."
After saying this, he rode away.
Li Da, the counselor beside the second shopkeeper, glanced at him, with murderous intent in his eyes. He smiled and patted him on the shoulder gently, "Well done."
Su Xiaozhong looked flattered, but he was cursing in his heart.
Smiling Tiger, don't think he doesn't know that this guy is dissatisfied with himself.
This is because he feels threatened by me and wants to get rid of him.
Humph, then we'll see whether it's you who gets rid of me or me who gets rid of you.
"Walk!"
The team escorting slaves set off again. As the guard, Su Xiaozhong was supposed to follow the others and keep an eye on the team, but the second manager specially allocated a horse for him.
This made Su Xiaozhong's status in the team rise.
Everyone knew that Su Zhong was very much liked by the second shopkeeper and had a bright future.
If someone wants to curry favor with someone, he will naturally try all kinds of ways to get close to him.
That day, a sharp-nosed and monkey-faced thug approached Su Xiaozhong and said, "Brother Su, I just got the news that the head shopkeeper has negotiated a big deal in Linzhou Prefecture and needs a large number of slaves."
"Male?"
"As long as they are young, both men and women are welcome." The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced thug lowered his voice and continued, "It seems that the third shopkeeper has rushed to send a batch of goods over, and will meet up with us tomorrow. I heard that there are several women in there, and they are very beautiful."
This group of people were naturally handed over to Su Xiaozhong for custody.
"Brother Su, let me have a look at them when the time comes. If possible, Brother Su can do whatever you want first, because these women will be sent to the beds of dignitaries sooner or later anyway. If you love me, can you let me have a sip of soup too?"
Su Xiaozhong was so scared that he stuttered, "This, this, this is not good, right?"
"Brother Su, you don't understand. Women like these, when they come into our hands, we have to let the brothers check the goods. Goods sent to dignitaries will not be tamed if they are not checked. If we let them offend the dignitaries, we will not have a good result."
Su Xiaozhong seemed to understand the purpose of his visit.
"Brother Su, please be kind and take my brother with you when you inspect the goods. I haven't eaten a good piece of meat for a long time." The man with a pointed chin and monkey face clasped his hands together, looking pleading.
Su Xiaozhong looked embarrassed, as if he couldn't get over it, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, but..."
The man with the pointed chin and monkey cheeks understood immediately, "Brother, I understand."
As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and put it into his hand.
Su Xiaozhong felt the shape of the silver and found it was a complete silver ingot, weighing at least five taels.
After this start, people came to give him money one after another, all for the same purpose, which was to inspect the goods together.
Su Xiaozhong accepted all the money that came to him.
Late at night, the sound of wheels echoed on the official road. Carriages shaped like prison vans were filled with densely packed slaves. These slaves were both male and female. More than a dozen people were crammed into the narrow space, with each of them pressed face to face and body to body, making it extremely difficult for them to breathe.
The slaves who were supposed to arrive tomorrow have now joined them several hours earlier, which shows that Linzhou Prefecture is very important.
Su Xiaozhong stood in front, and he didn't need to take any action. He just had to stand aside and watch them do it.
"Come down quickly."
Perhaps it was because they were standing and being squeezed for too long, as soon as some people landed on the ground, their legs went weak and they fell directly to the ground.
Immediately, a thug came forward and whipped the other person hard with a whip.
"Mercy, mercy." The person on the ground wailed in agony, but the attacker did not stop at all.
Su Xiaozhong glanced at the man and thought that if he continued to hit him, the man would probably be skinned alive if not killed.
He walked forward and said to the thug, "That's about it. It's done."
The thug was the third shopkeeper's man. He looked up at him and asked, "Who are you?"
Su Xiaozhong raised his eyebrows. This guy did it on purpose.
Su Xiaozhong didn't say anything, but glanced at the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced man, who immediately came forward and said, "He is Su Zhong, a favorite of our second in command. Now these slaves are under the control of my brother Su."
"Oh, it's you. I've heard of your name before, a villain who stole the benefactor's money."
Su Xiaozhong was not angry either. "My brother, I think you have misunderstood me. Brother Li and I have a deep friendship. Please don't believe the rumors."
"snort."
The other party snorted coldly, with a look of disgust on his face as if he was disdainful of talking to him.
The man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks saw the man walking away and said, "Brother Su, don't take his words to heart. Wang Zhong is just like that. He and Li Xing are good brothers."
No wonder!
He didn't care whether Wang Zhong disliked him or not. As long as he didn't provoke him or cause him trouble, he wouldn't take it to heart.
If the other person is blind and wants to cause trouble for you, then there is no need to live.
Su Xiaozhong said with a smile: "It's okay, Brother Wang Zhong misunderstood me, it will be fine after I explain it."
The man with the pointed chin and monkey cheeks bowed to him, "Brother Su is still generous."
Su Xiaozhong's gaze returned to the group of slaves, and suddenly his eyes locked on a thin and small figure.
The torch was too dim to see clearly, and when the small figure came closer, Su Xiaozhong took a closer look at the other person.
Is that the girl?
Looks very similar.
Su Xiaozhong remembered the other person and withdrew his gaze indifferently so as not to let anyone notice anything unusual.
"Boss, all the slaves are kept in that room."
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Boss, when are we going to inspect the goods?"
"Don't worry. You'll have a chance to inspect the goods before we get to Linzhou Prefecture. I'll go take a look first."
"Okay." The subordinate responded happily and led him to the place where he was imprisoned in a flattering manner.
"The top-quality goods were kept in another room."
Su Xiaozhong nodded to show that he understood.
"You all should step back, I'm here."
The two guards looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"Boss, call us if you have time."
Su Xiaozhong nodded.
After the two men left, he did not go to the room where the goods were kept, but turned to another room.
