The Xu Twelve Body Contract was originally on Xu Si, but Xu Si lost it to someone else in a gambling game.
The gambler who won the indenture had no idea that Xu Si was a wanted criminal, and even less that Xu Twelve had been arrested for committing a crime. Later, he went to Wanjuan Tower to ask for the person, but found that even Wanjuan Tower had been raided, so he quickly handed over his indenture to the government office to clear himself of any involvement.
Xu Jiang spent fifteen taels of silver to redeem Xu Twelve from his home country. After all the effort, the money was finally given to the villain.
"Xu Zhong, congratulations." Xu Jiang threw the registration book into his hands.
Xu Twelve took the register in a panic, but his expression was not as happy as he had imagined. The names on the register were mocking, laughing at, and reminding him of his sins all the time.
At this time, Xu Si was also taken out of the door by the patrol guards. He had received fifty strokes of the cane in the court yesterday. Now he could not even kneel steadily and could only stick to the ground like a turtle.
Xu Si had a fever due to his injury and was confused at the moment. When he saw Xu Jiang and Xu Twelve, he did not react for a long time.
When Xu Twelve saw Xu Si, he was stunned for a long time until Xu Jiang handed a bag of copper coins to him.
"Buy him and you will be his master."
Xu Twelve took the money and a surge of emotion surged in his heart. All the hatred and regret in his body finally found an outlet and a place to vent.
He handed the purse to the chief clerk and said tremblingly, "I, I want to buy him."
The chief clerk counted the money and then filled out the slave contract for Xu Si. When he came to the name 'Xu Hao', he said, "Sir, I want to change this name for him."
The chief clerk paused and asked, "What should it be changed to?"
"Change it to Xu Si. A slave... not worthy of a great name."
Xu Jiang sneered when she heard this, and felt that some things in this world were extremely absurd.
"Okay." The chief clerk changed the name quickly, and then asked Xu Twelve to sign the indenture owner's name.
Xu Twelve took the pen, wrote the word "Xu", but then stopped writing.
The chief clerk asked, "Why? Don't you want to buy it?"
Sweat broke out on his forehead as he wrote the last word "loyalty" with heavy hands, stroke by stroke. After finishing, he returned the pen to the chief clerk, and the pen holder was wet.
The chief clerk handed the indenture to the patrolman beside him and asked him to take it to Xu Si to sign.
The patrolman walked up to Xu Si and read the indenture to him. He was confused at first, but suddenly woke up when he heard the words "sell myself to Xu Zhong as a slave".
"I don't sell myself."
He stood up and was about to grab the deed, but the patrolman quickly dodged him, and the two patrolmen who had escorted him quickly restrained him.
He looked up, and when he saw Xu Jiang, his anger turned into joy. "You want to buy me back?"
Selling her to Xu Jiang is better than selling her to someone else. After all, he is her cousin. As long as he leaves the government office and his injuries heal, is there any fear that he won't be able to control her?
Xu Jiang said slowly, "I can't afford a slave like you. It was Xu Zhong who bought you."
"Xu Zhong?" Who is Xu Zhong? When did someone like him emerge from their family?
Xu Jiang moved aside, revealing Xu Twelve behind her. "I redeemed him and freed him from his native country. From now on, he will be a good citizen, and his name will be Xu Zhong."
"Xu Twelve?" Xu Si's muddled mind took a moment to react. He said in disbelief, "You redeemed him from his home? You redeemed him from his home!"
After saying this, he laughed heartily: "Are you crazy, Xu Jiang? Who is he? He's the one who killed your master. He betrayed your master and you, and you actually helped him get rid of his membership?"
Xu Jiang had no expression on his face, but Xu Twelve's expression became increasingly ugly.
Xu Jiang said calmly, "Yes, I not only helped him get rid of his citizenship, but I also gave him money to buy you. From now on, he will be your master."
Xu Si's laughter stopped abruptly, and he began to struggle violently, cursing as he did so: "You black-hearted bastard! You ungrateful wolf! You actually sold me to a lowly slave! I should have killed you long ago, I should have burned you to death!"
"No noise in the hall!" A patrolman stepped forward and slapped him, but still didn't make him shut up.
Xu Jiang listened to his filthy abuse without even raising an eyebrow. She simply said to Xu Twelve, "Your servant is disrespectful in front of the hall. As a master, if you do not discipline him, you will be punished."
Upon hearing this, Xu Twelve stepped forward hesitantly.
As soon as Xu Si saw him, he started scolding him again. If he had not been held down by two patrol guards, he would have jumped up with such ferocious look that he could have eaten Xu Twelve's flesh.
Xu Twelve walked up to him, but was afraid of his long-term oppression and dared not say a word.
Seeing this, Xu Si became even more arrogant, calling him a "lowly slave" and a "bastard". Xu Twelve also became furious after hearing this. Finally, he stepped forward and slapped him, saying, "Shut up!"
After this slap, Xu Twelve's pent-up fear and anger seemed to have been blown away. He then slapped Xu left and right, more than forty times in a row, making his mouth full of blood.
Xu Si couldn't curse anymore even though he wanted to.
Xu Twelve's hands felt numb, and he asked the patrol guard for his indenture, then took Xu Si's hand, smeared his mouth with blood, and pressed his handprint with trembling hands.
It was unclear whether it was his hand or Xu Si's hand that was shaking.
After pressing his fingerprints, he handed the contract to the chief clerk for review. The chief clerk signed and stamped the contract, and the contract came into effect from then on.
Xu Twelve walked up to Xu Jiang, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to her, but Xu Jiang turned aside and refused to accept.
He wiped his face and said, "Your mother is now in the Wan family in Chongzhou Prefecture. The master of the Wan family is named Wan Sheng and has some reputation in the local area. You will know if you go there and ask around."
Xu Jiang said coldly, "With the testimony of the Chief Registrar and the other officers, if what you said is a lie..."
Xu Twelve turned and swore to the Chief Registrar, "Master Chief Registrar, if what I, Xu and Xu Zhong, say is false in the slightest, I will be demoted to a lowly rank and enslaved forever."
