Chapter 1 Buying People



Guifeng has been an orphan since childhood and was adopted by an old grandmother in the village.

As far as he could remember, the people in the village were afraid of him and disliked him.

Except for the old lady.

Everyone in the village said he was a ghost. He was born on Ghost Festival, and when he was born, the candles in the house suddenly turned green, like will-o'-the-wisp, and the faint sound of ghosts could be heard.

His parents were so frightened that they abandoned him, his newborn, and rushed back to Kyoto.

People in the village were afraid of getting involved with dirty things and stayed away from them.

Finally, under pressure, the old lady moved to the foot of the mountain with Guifeng.

Guifeng has a secret, which is that he can summon ghosts and use them for his own purposes.

To summon ghosts, one has to burn paper money for them, so the whole room in his house was filled with paper money.

This place is far away from the village and no one disturbs their lives.

When Gui Feng was ten years old, his grandmother passed away. In order to support himself, he joined the escort agency to escort goods.

After working as a escort for eight years and earning some money, he returned to the village and rebuilt the thatched cottage where he and his grandmother had lived before into a large tiled house with green bricks.

He bought two acres of land and lived a peaceful and stable life growing crops.

Later, I found that after paying the grain tax, I did not have enough to eat, so I took the examination, passed the examination for a student, and this year I took the college entrance examination.

The results were just announced a few days ago, and he passed the exam and became a scholar.

The yamen even sent runners to give him money.

The laws of the original country stipulated that boys could take the imperial examinations just like boys. If a boy passed the examination and became a scholar, the government would give him two taels of silver as a reward.

After learning that Guifeng had passed the examination, the people in the village began to become active.

He thought of letting his son marry her home so that they could live in a big house with green bricks and tiles and be exempt from grain taxes.

But Guifeng ignored any of them.

——

The weather in June is a bit hot.

Guifeng had just returned from hunting in the mountains.

Guifeng was shirtless, carrying a wild boar he had just killed on his shoulder.

He still held his bow and arrow in his hand.

I just came down the mountain and haven’t had time to go home.

From a distance, you can see everyone in the village running in one direction.

He looked over.

Frowning slightly.

It seems that they are a new family that came to the village two months ago.

I heard that his family was an official in the capital, but he offended a noble and was demoted to a commoner.

Come to their village.

Thinking of this, he remembered the man he saw on the mountain a few days ago.

She is fair and clean, and looks very pretty.

At that time, the man was sitting on the ground with red eyes, and he looked very sad while crying.

He saw it when he was packing up his prey, but he didn't ask any questions and just left.

But the man followed him stubbornly.

When he asked him why he followed him

The man said that he wanted to marry into their house, saying that his mother was going to sell him in a few days because there was no food or money at home.

This way his eldest brother can have money to study.

He didn't take it seriously and drove the man away.

Now that I think about it, that man was so fair-skinned, he might be the new family.

The men in the village are all big and strong, or ugly, none of them are so handsome and fair.

Guifeng's handsome face was somewhat tangled.

Reason told him not to mix it.

But in terms of action, I still went.

He felt for five ounces of silver in his worn-out purse.

He carried the wild boar he had just killed directly to the Chi family.

At this time, many people gathered at the door of the Chi family.

Most of them come here to buy people for their brothers and daughters.

This Chi An is fair and pretty, it’s worth buying her.

Logically speaking, it should have been sold out quickly.

However, Chi An's mother Liu Tangyi and grandmother Ning Zihan thought the price offered by the villagers was too low.

And Chi An's sister Chi Yuyao glared at the villagers fiercely, as if she would go crazy and bite them to death if they dared to rush over.

Although she was only five years old, her eyes were scary.

The villagers gathered outside saw the ghost wind coming.

All of them hid far away.

Afraid of getting dirty.

A few courageous ladies came over and said, "Feng'er, how is the consideration I told you the day before yesterday going? My child is good-looking and strong. If you marry into our family, I will definitely love you very much. You..."

Before he could finish his words, he received Gui Feng Ling's stern look.

The old lady suddenly felt a chill coming over her. She shuddered and dared not speak.

Guifeng had escorted and killed people in the past few years, and he had a strong murderous aura and was very fierce, which looked very intimidating.

Someone was discussing in a low voice.

"Why are you being so aloof? A boy will get married and have children anyway. He is already 20 years old. Why are you being so aloof? He is already an old man. I introduced him to someone, but he is still being picky."

"What's the use of passing the imperial examination? No one will be interested in you anyway."

"She's always bare-armed, flirting with people. She's a whore but she's still pretending to be a virgin. I don't know how many men she's slept with in the eight years she's been out."

As soon as those people finished speaking, they were kicked to the ground by Guifeng.

Guifeng said in a cold tone: "If you can't speak, sew your mouth shut."

The others were frightened and quickly stepped back.

No one dared to speak.

Guifeng carried the wild boar into the Chi family's yard.

The Chi family also built a large tiled house with green bricks, which looked even more magnificent. I guess all the money in the family was spent on this.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Chi An sitting weakly on the ground.

Chi An's eyes were red, he was wearing a blue robe, and he looked at me with pity.

Next to Chi An stood a five-year-old girl named Chi Yuyao with her hair in a braid.

Chi Yuyao, who was originally very fierce, now looked at his second brother, who had suddenly become weak and sat on the ground, in a daze and confusion.

Wasn’t her second brother fine just now?

He was still confronting his mother and grandmother, but now he is lying on the ground, weak and unable to take care of himself.

My eyes are still red.

What happened?

Guifeng looked at the two women standing in the hall. The jewelry on their heads were hairpins and hairpins made of gold and silver.

The clothes are also made of top quality material.

He now understood why the Chi family wanted to sell Chi An.

Because of their extravagant spending, it was said that Chi An's father died soon after he was released to the village.

Now his mother and grandmother are in charge of matters at home.

His mother sided with his eldest brother.

He dislikes his youngest son.

Liu Tangyi saw Guifeng coming in with a ferocious look, carrying a big wild boar.

Startled.

I think Guifeng is here to cause trouble.

In the two months since she came to the village, she had heard the legend of Guifeng.

He took his mother's hand and stepped back.

"What are you doing here?" It's really shameless for a guy to not wear his clothes properly and go shirtless like a man.

This country boy is so vulgar.

No boy in Kyoto knows the rules.

Guifeng threw the wild boar he was carrying directly to the ground.

He took out five ounces of silver from his shabby purse.

He walked forward and put it on the table: "Buy people."

"Five ounces of silver and a wild boar. That's enough."

The tone didn't sound like a negotiation, but rather an order.

The people inside and outside the yard took a deep breath after hearing Gui Feng's words.

This this this this Guifeng is really generous, that's a whole wild boar, and he added five taels of silver for it.

They can barely eat meat all year round, yet they are so generous as to trade a wild boar for people. Damn, I'm so jealous.
