Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself, Xiao Yuansi figured it out, but in the end he still had to do it himself to destroy the country.

The civil servants are hopeless. After several leading officials were dealt with by him, the remaining people seemed to have recognized the reality overnight and restrained their edge. Those who resigned from their old age returned to their hometowns, and those who said they were sick and living at home, quit a lotA sign of prudence in the political center.

As for the military officer, judging from Wen Youting's help in suppressing the rebel party, there is a high probability that he has no potential for rebellion.

As for the eunuch... for some reason, the palace people looked at him with more and more admiration, especially Xiaoliuzi, just like a star chasing girl in modern society meets an idol star who has been chasing her for many years at the airport, and the star still smiled gently at her, so happy that his eyes glow and pink bubbles appear on the top of his head, he will live and die without regret.

Anyway... can't bear to look directly at it.

system?

Oh, it has closed itself.

Xiao Yuansi stayed up all night to take stock, and found that there is no one reliable except himself.

In a great country, under the emperor's seat, there is not even a reliable person who can do things!Speaking out will make people laugh out loud.

The only thing that the current system does that satisfies him is that it can help him sneak out of the palace at any time without being discovered by others.

But it is enough to do this, Xiao Yuansi no longer has expectations for it.

He already has a new plan, since the officials of this country are unwilling to rebel, let's start with the people.

From the refugee incident, it is not difficult to infer that the lives of the people are not all worrying about food and clothing. Many people are struggling on the verge of starving to death on the street, but their desperate cries cannot be heard.

Xiao Yuansi also discovered one thing, this country allows people to buy and sell, and even has a special slave trade market and auction place, and there are related intermediary merchants who provide top-level services that only the rich and powerful can enjoy.

A complete and mature industrial chain is uncomfortable but shocking.

Although the national law stipulates that buyers are not allowed to harm the lives of slaves at will, don’t forget that the people who made the laws themselves are also slave buyers and are the beneficiaries of this system. Will they send themselves to prison?Obviously impossible.

The oppression and abuse of slaves is inevitable, and it is a secret that everyone tacitly understands.

The poor who live no different from slaves, the slaves whose lives are held in the hands of others and tortured, they are all marginalized people who have been deceived, abandoned, and whipped by this country.An army against a nation?

Compared with the high-ranking officials and aristocrats who are drunk and dreaming of death in the gentle countryside, they have more courage and ruthlessness to fight to the death.

Life is life and death, if you succeed, you will change your fate against the sky, and if you lose, you will die. It is better to be left and right than to live like a dog.

Therefore, they are the best choice for Xiao Yuansi's subjugated helpers.

With the cover of the system, Xiao Yuansi kept running around in the palace and the slums, like weaving ropes, a bunch of small ropes gathered and entwined, twisted into a strong and strong rope under the action of a force, sooner or laterIt can affect the foundation of the country.

Half a year passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Qin State ushered in the first rainstorm in autumn.

The dense raindrops formed a pouring rain curtain, slanting down from the sky, washing the stone steps like a gurgling stream, and isolating the room and the outside world with a clattering sound.

The sound of the system was drowned in the sound of the rain: "Host, why don't you go today, the rain is too heavy."

Xiao Yuansi was changing into his normal clothes, and said: "No, I have to find someone very important today."

The system doesn't understand why important people need to go out to meet them in this weather. The rain outside is so heavy that as long as you go out and stand without walking, even with an umbrella, your lower body will be wet when you come back.

His dear host went without hesitation.

The system couldn't hold him back, so it could only send Xiao Yuansi directly to the slave market. It sat obediently and waited for praise, but Xiao Yuansi ignored it and walked in directly.

The slave market is a long street that is half hidden by the edge of the city. The inside is full of heat in sharp contrast to the cold and wet outside.

The frontier has won a great victory against the barbarians, and captured many barbarians. They lived on horseback and hunted in the grasslands. They were much larger in size and strength than most people in Qin, especially the strong men and healthy women.The price of one is worth five ordinary slaves with able-bodied hands and feet.

At the end of the long street was the auction house. All kinds of slaves were locked in iron cages, tied with chains weighing tens of catties, and carried to the stage by several strong men.

The manager introduced the strengths of these people one by one, raised their strong arms, opened their strong teeth, and tried to sell their strengths as if they were dealing with a bunch of animals that were up for sale—"Look, such a strong manMuscles, one person can carry a bag of rice that three people can carry!", "Look, such a healthy body can definitely give birth to a litter of fat little slaves!"

"Don't worry about them being disobedient. We will send special people to deliver the obedient training they have trained to your homes. It will be refunded and replaced for three years. It's no lie."

The steward yelled like foam, and the audience kept thronging.

"I'll pay three taels of silver! I want that female slave!"

"I'm six taels! No one is allowed to snatch it!"

"I also have six taels, gold!"

And the slaves can only curl themselves up under the eyes of greedy eyes, and blend into the corner, it seems that this way they will not be seen, and they will not go from the iron cage to another cage full of blood and sweat.

It is very beautiful and clean here, with seats arranged for guests to rest, flowers arranged for guests to appreciate, beauties accompanying them, and servants serving tea. The filthy environment of the slaughterhouse cannot be compared with it at all.

But its bloody smell is not much weaker than that of a slaughterhouse.

Just a slaughterhouse decorated with flowers.

Anyone who has received a complete and sound ideological education in modern society cannot adapt to this environment.

When Xiao Yuansi came here for the first time, he couldn't take it anymore and wanted to run out before staying for a minute.

But he also knows that it is impossible for one person to change an era.

It's just a plot of the time traveler who went back to the ancient times to beat and kick, amazed the ancients with modern thinking, and subdued a group of younger brothers to establish a republic society. He dared to say that everyone was equal in a feudal society, and he was cut into pieces in less than a quarter of an hour. What's moreHe is not from this world, and he does not want to change the social system. All he does is to leave this place that does not belong to him.

Suppressing disgust and squatting in the slave market for more than half a year, today is bound to take that person away.

"Next, it's today's press box!"

On the stage, the manager smiled mysteriously, successfully arousing the curiosity of the buyers in the audience.

He waved to the strong men, and a big cage covered with black cloth was lifted up.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, the cage suddenly shook violently, frightening the buyers in the audience to subconsciously lean back.

Several strong men almost couldn't lift him up, and propped up their bent knees with all their strength, with knotted veins on their faces, gasping for breath, and finally lifted him up again. His figure was not as stable and relaxed as it was at the beginning.Every step that follows is so heavy that the plank under your feet will be worn through.

"boom"

The moment the cage was lowered, everyone felt the ground tremble three times.

At the same time, couldn't help sticking out head, staring at the black cloth, wondering what was inside it?

Seeing that everyone's interest was almost caught, the manager smiled meaningfully, and lifted the black cloth to reveal the secret.

The sudden light hurt the eyes, and the person inside raised his cracked hand to block it, and snorted a rough breath, as if he was dissatisfied with the noise in his ears.

Seeing his muscular body, everyone excitedly got up from their seats and surrounded him, scrambling to check him out. When he put down his hands, he revealed a pair of cold green eyes like a hungry wolf staring at its prey at night. Everyone presentThe person fell silent for an instant, and took a few steps back almost at the same time.

The person in charge didn't seem to notice everyone's strangeness, rubbing his hands and introducing: "This is today's first product."

"Look at his muscles and eyes. Old customers who know the goods must have seen it. He is a rare and high-quality goods! We have worked so hard to get him. We originally wanted to keep him for our own use.After thinking for a long time, I decided to sell it, after all, good things should be enjoyed by everyone.”

The steward's eyeballs rolled around cunningly, raised an index finger, and said loudly: "It's fate to meet today, let's sell it cheaper, the starting price is one hundred taels! The highest bidder wins!"

Every time the goods come out, the nobles will compete to bid, but this time, the audience is completely silent.

After a long time, there was a mocking voice from the crowd: "It's so cheap, there must be something wrong with it."

When the manager heard this, he quit immediately and said: "Where is it, we have been in business for so long, how dare we sell sick slaves to you, isn't this a blow to our own brand?"

His earnest remarks did not win the approval of the crowd, but in exchange for roars of laughter.

"Hahaha"

"This guy's notoriety has already spread in the capital, do you think we are easy to fool?"

"Don't think we don't know, you have sold this guy three times, and the buyer returned it three times. It is said that he is an extremely bad-tempered slave, a beast that even beats his master!"

"If he wasn't a rebellious slave, you would be willing to sell him so cheaply. Wouldn't we know how dark and greedy your hearts are?"

"That's right! If you are fooled into buying someone back, it's no different from luring a wolf into a house!"

Seeing that more and more people agreed and the situation was becoming more and more out of control, the manager was afraid that if this troublesome thing fell into his hands again, he would suffer a big loss, so he thought about taking a step back.

"All right, sixty taels, sixty taels will do!"

This price has attracted a small number of people. After all, such a strong and young body is far more than worth the price, but they are still in a wait-and-see state. It is no secret that this slave is unruly, and no one wants to cause trouble.

"After buying it back, he won't hurt people again, right?"

Seeing that there was a sign of selling, the manager immediately said, "Of course not, this time we will definitely teach him to be more obedient than a puppy."

That person was about to speak, and suddenly——

"I want this person."

The voice came from the second floor, calming everyone's dissatisfaction gently like a spring breeze in March. They looked up one after another. A luxurious young man was leaning on the railing, propping his head with one hand, expressing his gratitude to the farce.He had no interest, his eyes were only on the man in the cage, and he stretched out five fingers lazily.

"I'll come up with this number."

Fifty taels?!

Tut tut.

The steward was a little hesitant. He turned his head to look at the slave with a fierce face. Compared with the last time he saw him, he had a few more terrible scars on his face. It was after his last master was attacked by him.In a state of rage, he used a whip with iron nails to whip the marks left by him for three days and three nights.

Even after being beaten so many times and walking several times before the gate of hell, his bones are still harder than frozen stones.

The steward accidentally looked at him, that stare like a hungry wolf instantly pierced through his flesh and hit the depths of his soul, a chill that disgusted him made him shiver.

He turned around and replied without hesitation: "Fifty taels is fifty taels!"

sold!

Xiao Yuansi shook his head lightly, still spreading his five fingers.

"I mean, I offer five hundred taels, gold."

"How much, how much?!"

The manager was so startled that he couldn't speak, and everyone who was watching the joke couldn't laugh anymore even if they wanted to.

Not fifty taels, but one hundred taels, not silver, but gold!

Who is the stupid son of a rich family with a lot of money?!

"Sir, do you want to stop thinking about it?"

"No, he deserves it."

Xiao Yuansi smiled at their shocked and curious eyes, and ordered: "Five hundred taels is not for nothing, you must help me heal this person's injuries, don't beat and scold him, eat and drink well."So, I will come to take him away in a month, but I want to see this person is fatter than now, understand?"

The steward's curiosity: "Why does the young master treat a slave so favorably?"

"Master is happy."

The steward's heart said that it turned out to be a rich dude.

He has seen all kinds of people, and such prodigals can be found everywhere. Although he disdainfully laughed, he nodded and said, "I know, I know."

As long as the money is enough, not to mention serving a slave, it is fine to let him offer a dog or a pig as if it were his own ancestor.

Xiao Yuansi nodded in satisfaction, but some people were not satisfied.

Judging from Xiao Yuansi's attire, the low-key moon-white robe is made of a piece of shiny satin, white jade hairpin, fingers are slender and fair, his family background is good, his appearance is young, his brows and eyes are full of radiance,The simplicity of being indifferent to the world must have been spoiled by the family to become a bully who said nothing.

However, spending too much money for a slave is really a waste of money!

Presumably, the family was too pampered, and he developed the habit of spending money lavishly, regardless of the consequences, and only caring about his own pleasure.

Everyone was shocked by Xiao Yuansi's magnanimity at first, and then sneered at his prodigal behavior, silently ridiculed and cast contemptuous eyes in their hearts.

He's just a dandy, with a beautiful skin, which is ridiculous and pitiful.

Humans always like to point out things that they don't like, and express self-righteous opinions, and they are no exception.

Watching Xiao Yuansi take out a bag of silver and reward the boy, someone stopped Xiao Yuansi when he turned to leave.

"My lord, please stay a little longer." A scholar-like person came out, who was the one who just offered to buy the slave.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

The scholar looked at him with complicated emotions in his eyes, he hesitated to speak: "I don't know whether to say something or not?"

Xiao Yuansi was most annoyed by this kind of person who insisted on dismantling a simple sentence into countless sentences and said it in a mysterious way. He either pretended to be stupid or waved his hand impatiently: "It's not appropriate to say it, I don't want to hear it."

After speaking, he turned around quickly.

The scholar did not expect to be rejected so directly, which made him lose face in front of so many people. After recovering, he anxiously shouted at Xiao Yuansi who was about to leave: "Young master, what do you do to your parents and relatives with your behavior like this?"land!"

He came to save someone, so why did he get involved with his parents and relatives?!

Xiao Yuansi suddenly stopped, returned to the railing, and looked down at the scholar who was filled with righteous indignation for some reason.

The scholar stood there, like the embodiment of justice, his angry chest heaved and fluctuated, and his angry eyes seemed to turn into substance in the next moment and burn him to ashes.

Xiao Yuansi suddenly became interested in him, and grinned at him: "Tell me, what happened to my parents and relatives?"

When the scholar heard that Xiao Yuansi was asking him something, his brows stopped frowning immediately, and his back straightened up. Everyone's eyes focused on him, feeling like he stood out from the crowd.

He pressed his fist to his lips and coughed a few times, looked at the idiot upstairs, and sighed softly, as if he felt pity for him.

"My son, you are born with a good life. You were born in a wealthy family and you have no worries about food and clothing. But if you spend so much and don't make long-term plans, sooner or later your family will be unable to make ends meet. At that time, your family will definitely go downhill!"

Xiao Yuansi smiled lightly, he still thought that this Confucian scholar could come up with an opinion that shocked him as a celestial being, and that was the extent of it.

But when other people heard it, they felt that it made sense: "Yes, prodigals are not such a way to lose."

"One idiot will ruin the foundation of three generations of the family!"

"If he was my son, I would have thrown him to death as soon as he was born!"

The scholar glanced at him and sighed again.

"Think about it, this young master is unable to support his family, where did he get the money he squandered?"

"Needless to say, he must have sucked the blood of his parents!"

"Buying such a dangerous slave back home is putting the safety of everyone in the family at risk!"

The smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger.

A slave trade will gradually evolve into a sexual meeting against the prodigal sons, and everyone expresses their regret and scolding for the "prodigal sons" unscrupulously.

Xiao Yuansi didn't want to pay attention to it at first, anyway, his purpose of coming here today has been achieved, so why bother arguing with a stranger.

But his forbearance seems to have fueled these people's self-righteous arrogance.

A person's unjustified tolerance when facing accusations will make those people feel that their verbal atrocities have been acquiesced. They are correct, just, and belong to the fighters who defend justice!More and more people who don't know the truth join them, and they are motivated to work harder.

They will not feel that the person being scolded has any difficulties.

Otherwise why didn't he refute?No defense?Don't you cry in despair in front of them, crying that you are wronged?

You see he is so calm, with no expression on his face, ignoring anyone, not responding at all, he just feels guilty and ashamed!

There must be something wrong with him!

However, Xiao Yuansi just didn't want to waste time on them.

He doesn't want to have ridiculous arguments with a group of ridiculous people. Time is a precious life for him, and life can only be used for things that make him happy.

Originally, he went downstairs and came to the gate, but his damn ears were keenly aware of a few unusually piercing voices.

"It's true that the son of a rich family doesn't know how to deal with hardships. He actually spends five hundred taels to treat slaves. It may not be that he will be so considerate to his parents."

"There is no filial son before the bed for a long time, let alone a dude. Food and drink belong to his parents, but he doesn't restrain his selfish desires all the time, wasting his parents' blood and sweat for nothing! Don't even think that he will be filial to his parents in the future!"

"This kind of person won't be comfortable for a long time. After a few years, he will go to the street to beg for a living. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

These voices were not loud, but they sounded like they were meant for him. They were as sharp as an awl piercing his ear, and blood and flesh splashed out in an instant.

Xiao Yuansi did what they wished, and finally there was a wave of excitement on his calm and calm face. This change was caused by them, and Xiao Yuansi responded to their words!They thus had a strange but indescribable pleasure!

Xiao Yuansi withdrew his foot from stepping out of the threshold, and glanced coldly at the noisy crowd behind him, his voice turned into a buzzing background sound, and he couldn't hear what he said, but their ridiculous and funny faces were infinitely magnified in front of his eyes as if they were jealous.

Xiao Yuansi looked along the wall one by one, the chattering and excited people, and the slave sitting quietly in the cage with a sneer hanging from the corner of his mouth were distinct.

For a while, it was unclear who was the imprisoned party and who was the ugly one.

This world is really strange.

Those inside the cage laughed and those outside the cage laughed self-righteously.

Gradually, those people found that Xiao Yuansi had no other expressions other than the anger he showed at the beginning, and the chattering discussions stopped.

how?Did this dude finally know he was wrong?

Xiao Yuansi put his hands behind his back and stared at the ground, as if nothing happened, and it seemed that a storm was brewing before his eyes.

To be honest, whenever Xiao Yuansi gets angry, fights back, or swears back, it will not make them more passive than calmly responding.

"You, what's the matter with you?" Someone asked probingly, as if to catch a trace of his strange expression, but unfortunately failed.

Xiao Yuansi suddenly snorted and looked up at them, his smiling eyes curved in a strange arc.

It was reminiscent of encountering a fox hunting in the wild late at night. The fox licked its lips at them. Under the white moonlight, its eyes gleamed dangerously.

He waved his robe and said, "I'm happy today, and everyone present will be rewarded with an ingot of gold."

"?!"

Everyone was half surprised, not only not angry but also rewarding them, is this person stupid?!
