Chapter 73
Under the shocked eyes of everyone, one after another large boxes were brought in.
The person in charge is the one who can adapt to the wind, and moves to Xiao Yuansi's side like a dog's leg: "Young master, everything is here, and there is still something to order at any time."
Xiao Yuansi nodded, and opened a box cover casually, the golden light attracted everyone to stretch their necks to look inside.
There were many wealthy gentry present. It's not that they have never seen big money, but they have never seen such arrogance. A dozen boxes filled with gold filled all the places they could stay.
There was a murmur in the crowd, just now this person said that everyone present has a share, don't know if it is true or not?
Xiao Yuansi saw what he wanted from their greedy eyes that seemed to be dripping from the corners of their mouths in a second, and couldn't help but chuckled softly.
"These are all the money I earned from doing business, and have nothing to do with my parents."
How can it be?!!
Everyone trembled violently, unwilling to believe that this dandy had such means.
Xiao Yuansi knowingly asked: "Do you want it?"
"Then one person slaps himself and apologizes to me for what he just said."
"How unreasonable!" Someone couldn't stand it anymore, and said angrily, "Where do you force people to slap themselves in the face in public?! Isn't this humiliating!"
"Son, you have to limit your nonsense! We will not do what you want! We are all people with principles, don't think that we are full of copper smell like you..."
"Slap!——" A loud slap sounded, and the others looked in shock at the source of the sound, a small businessman.
With flushed cheeks, the little businessman asked cautiously, "Is this okay?"
Xiao Yuansi nodded in satisfaction, and let out a box sideways.
After being affirmed, the little businessman rushed forward without saying a word, swallowed, took off his clothes and laid it on the ground, glanced at Xiao Yuansi, saw him standing calmly by the side, without any intention of stopping him, he was heartbroken, with both hands together, grabbing handfuls of gold, carefully watching Xiao Yuansi's face while grabbing.
Soon the clothes were full, and he regretted that he had only given birth to two hands, only wore a coat, and did not bring a few more sturdy sacks.
But these are enough, it is a big pie from heaven!After going back, you can wake up with a smile in your dreams!
Afraid of Xiao Yuansi's repentance, he hastily thanked him, and disappeared like a wind on the soles of his feet.
With this precedent, seeing a small businessman exchange a slap for more than ten years of food and drink in the future, other people's envious eyes straightened.
Xiao Yuansi swept across them with smiling eyes, and asked in a positive tone: "Is there anyone else?"
The voice just fell.
"Snapped!"
"Crack!"
"Papa papa!"
Loud applause exploded like firecrackers, and more and more people joined the carnival, everyone's faces were filled with awkward but happy expressions.
In the beginning, the leader scolded Xiao Yuansi for being unable to hold on after seeing the benefits of the people around him.
He could tolerate others attacking him, but he couldn't tolerate others living better than him, and easily got what he wanted.
The gold box quickly bottomed out, he panicked visibly, and finally raised his slap and pointed it at his face.
"Snapped!"
Xiao Yuansi thought this was the best applause among so many applause.
The scholar changed his previous arrogance, leaned down, and said in a flattering tone: "Just now you offended the young master, your father, and the court, and it was all the fault of the villain. If the young master still doesn't feel relieved, you can slap the villain with your own hands. The villain will never be punished."complain."
Xiao Yuansi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you still think I survived by exploiting my parents?"
"Of course not!" The scholar smiled apologetically, "My son's methods and brains amaze me. Your parents are lucky to have a child like you!"
Xiao Yuansi smiled inexplicably, and asked again: "I just heard you say that I am a prodigal playboy?"
"Who said that?" The scholar looked left and right, as if he had lost his memory, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, whoever dares to say that about you, I will be the first to have trouble with him!"
When Xiao Yuansi heard this, he knew that his goal had been completely achieved.
The others also heard the scholar's words, turned their heads to look at him, and silently complained in their hearts that this person is shameless, and it's only been a while before they slapped themselves in the face. They really don't even want the scholar's face.
While looking down on the dandies who spend money like water, at the same time want to use others to gain benefits.
But look, being rich is being able to do whatever you want.
A penny is hard for a hero, and a penny can make the "just man" who was originally filled with righteous indignation change his principles on the spot and swallow back the words he said, no matter how hot those words are.
Seeing that the box was almost empty, the scholar was gearing up to grab the last piece of the pie, but Xiao Yuansi refused to let him go, and kept picking his hands anxiously.
"Young master, can you borrow a way and let me go first?"
"Did I tell you that you had a share?"
The scholar said in surprise: "My lord! Didn't you just say that those who see you have a share?!"
Xiao Yuansi gave a doubtful "Yes", and turned to look at the other people who were full of gold and beamed with joy.
"Did I say that?" he asked.
Others shook their heads and echoed: "No."
Xiao Yuansi looked at the dumbfounded scholar, and spread out his palms, as if saying, you deserve it for being tricked.
"How can you be so dishonest!"
The scholar pointed at Xiao Yuansi's nose angrily, and the shame and indignation of being deceived by Xiao Yuansi soon made him blush, as if a large pot of hot water was poured on his head, and he was hot inside and out.
He asked other people for help as before: "Everyone come and judge! Isn't it too much for him to tease people like this!"
But this time, no one helped him.
"I think you're going too far." Someone in the crowd said.
The scholar was taken aback: "What?"
"You couldn't afford that slave, and you were taken away by this son at a high price. You felt resentful in your heart, accusing others of being prodigal and disrespectful to your parents. You are still a scholar, don't you know that you can't harm others at will?"
Someone else laughed mockingly: "No, we all heard and saw that slap of yours. If we didn't get what we wanted, we tried to use the same old trick to woo everyone to attack him with you. We won't be fooled by you again!"gone."
The scholar's face turned even redder. Now that he was stripped naked and displayed in front of everyone, he wished he could find a hole in the ground and get in right away.
Except for the few words at the beginning, Xiao Yuansi didn't say anything, and he didn't hint that other people would help, but almost all others consciously defended him.
Because they were also the ones who committed atrocities against Xiao Yuansi, and because they got benefits from Xiao Yuansi, they hoped to convince themselves of their shame by standing in line again to defend Xiao Yuansi.
The scholar finally slipped away with his tail between his legs, and the others returned with a full load of gold, while Xiao Yuansi walked up to the cage, squatted down, and looked at the slave.
He saw what happened just now. If his former masters encountered such a thing, they would directly send him and the servants to tie up the tongue-twisting person, lock him in the woodshed and beat him up.
He couldn't understand Xiao Yuansi's actions, those people called him a dude, even his parents, but instead of getting angry, he turned the matter over with a slap and an apology, and rewarded them with gold.
I'm afraid this guy is not really stupid.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Xiao Yuansi looked into his eyes at the moment, propped his head, tilted his head and smiled.
The slave held the iron rod with both hands, stared at him with big eyes, and nodded bluntly: "Stupid."
Hearing that he dared to talk to the patron like this, the steward was so frightened that he didn't dare to vent his anger, for fear that Xiao Yuansi would abandon him in a fit of anger.
He carefully looked at Xiao Yuansi's face, and found that he was actually smiling!
Inexplicably, feel that the master and servant are a bit compatible.
————
A month later, Xiao Yuansi came to pick him up as promised.
The person in charge had brought people to wait at the door early, and when he saw Xiao Yuansi's figure in the distance, he greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Young master came very early."
"Where are people?"
"Where is it here?" The steward waved his hand and asked the servant to pull the slave out.
Xiao Yuansi looked him up and down. The skin trauma was almost healed, and the sunken cheekbones returned to their normal plump state. Those who wanted to manage the work had received enough money and worked hard.
After paying the final gold, the manager said, "Master, do you want to give this slave a name?"
"name?"
"Yes, for example, Agou, Amao, etc."
Xiao Yuansi used to think that the "little six sons" were enough to bury people, but he didn't expect that some people would give others names like cats and dogs.
Xiao Yuansi looked at him, he lowered his head calmly, as if he was used to it.
"Let's call it Cheng Sheng, Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucian Cheng, the arrogant Sheng."
"This name..."
The manager wanted to say something was wrong, but saw Xiao Yuansi undo the shackles on Cheng Sheng himself, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled him to follow.
Swallowing the words, the manager sent them away with a smile on his face, and when the two disappeared from sight, he changed his face in a second, and said in a deep voice: "Go and pack your things quickly, we will leave the capital tonight."
The boy asked, "Why?"
The steward knocked him on the head hard, and pointed to the direction where the two left: "Don't you understand? That young master dared to unshackle the slaves on the street! Isn't that equivalent to taking the slaves locked in the vat?"The fish was put back into the water? Can the fish be caught when it is put back into the water? He is either stupid or stupid!"
"Oh!" The servant suddenly realized, and asked again: "What if that slave hurts someone again?"
The person in charge: "That's why we have to run away! Before that slave goes crazy, we can't blame us for anything!"
"Understood, I understand! Let's prepare now, little one."
Cheng Sheng was indeed planning to escape.
While following Xiao Yuansi on the road, he was restless, he kept looking left and right, and silently wrote down the signs and directions along the road.
He looked at his empty hands. For the first time, he felt so relaxed on his wrists, without heavy shackles, reminding him that he was a dirty slave.
He looked at Xiao Yuansi who was walking in front of him again. He seemed powerless and did not bring any followers by his side. There were fewer and fewer people passing by on the road, and the road became more and more remote.
Perhaps, this is an excellent time to escape.
Cheng Sheng immediately shook his head to wake himself up. How could it be easy to escape? If this person is not sure to control himself, will he easily undo the shackles?
Unreconciled emotions made him clenched his fists secretly, and gritted his teeth facing Xiao Yuansi's back.
Xiao Yuansi noticed something and turned around suddenly, Cheng Sheng pretended to be cute in an instant, and smiled at him, Xiao Yuansi also smiled, and said nothing.
In fact, he knew Cheng Sheng's little tricks, who gave him the real-time monitoring camera of the system.
"Host, this guy is a bit dangerous."
"Huh? How do you say it?"
"There is an 80% chance that he will attack you, so you have to be careful."
"If he wasn't dangerous, I wouldn't have kept him around."
"Host, be careful playing with fire." The system reminded, although it didn't agree with Xiao Yuansi's actions, it couldn't persuade him.
Xiao Yuansi must have Cheng Sheng, because Cheng Sheng is the leader of the rebel army who will lead the people to revolt in the future.
Born as a slave, he struggled at the lower level and experienced the harshness of the world. He understood the hardships of the slaves and the common people very well, and also knew what they really wanted in their hearts. He was also willing to lead them to overthrow this decadent dynasty and raise the rebel armyThe bright red flag, the establishment of a more just and fair new country, although he failed in the end, but his name has become a strong stroke in the history books.
According to the normal situation, he should meet a noble person three years later. This noble person will inspire his thoughts and guide his uprising cause, which is equivalent to a guide on his life path, but Xiao Yuansi can't wait that long.
He wants to be this "noble person" himself, and teach Sheng Subjugation by hand.
The two of them walked for an unknown amount of time, and arrived at a desolate place. Several dilapidated thatched huts stood scattered in the wind.
Cheng Sheng looked at Xiao Yuansi strangely, he was dressed in wealth and honor, he didn't look like someone who would live here, let alone someone who would be associated with this kind of place that reveals the smell of poverty everywhere.
What did he bring himself here for?
Not far from the thatched hut, there is a small stream with gurgling water, and three or two women and children are fetching water by the water.
A six or seven-year-old doll walked home with difficulty holding a bucket that was a head taller than him.
Xiao Yuansi walked a few steps closer, stopped, turned around and raised his chin to Cheng Sheng, signaling him to go over.
"Go give that kid a hand."
"My clothes are expensive, and I will feel bad if they get dirty."
Cheng Sheng was a little speechless, since he knew he loved money, why did he distribute gold to those people so generously before?Then a few large boxes of gold are enough to buy more than a dozen of these clothes.
He's a weird prodigal son!
The slander is the slander, and the lesson of being beaten for many years told him that as a slave, he should not comment on any actions of the master. A slave is just a silent and useful item, and does not need mouths and emotions.
Cheng Sheng is full of muscles, so he can easily lift a bucket, and he can also carry that doll with him. The doll looks at him adoringly, and when he walks to Xiao Yuansi, the doll waved to him enthusiastically.
Xiao Yuansi responded with a chuckle, Cheng Sheng had the illusion that he was smiling at himself.
The vicious fox showed a very disguised smile to a simple wolf cub.
