Cheng Huailiang asked with some worry: "Zhenren, are you okay? How about we wait outside first and let him call people out before we talk."
Chen Jingke forced out a smile that was uglier than crying and said: "I'm fine, pariah, I'm just an animal..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a disheveled woman with scars all over her body walking out of the room just now. There was no good place in sight.
She was holding a bowl in her hand, and her body was shaking as if a gust of wind could blow it over, but the hand holding the bowl was steady without any trembling.
The woman staggered to the next room and found a two or three-year-old child huddled in the corner shivering behind the door.
The child couldn't help crying when he saw her.
The woman's face was full of love and she wanted to pick her up, but she tried several times without success. She could only squat down and hold her in her arms to comfort her: "Cao'er is fine. Mom is back. Look, Mom brought her to you."
What."
As he spoke, he handed the bowl in front of the child, only to see that it was half a bowl of corn porridge that had completely cooled down.
However, the child stopped crying as if he had seen a dragon's liver and a phoenix's gallbladder. He stared blankly at the porridge and said, "Mom, I'm hungry. Eat."
The woman showed a happy smile and said: "Okay, mother, give me some grass to eat."
Chen Jingke, who was watching this scene outside the door, felt that the smile was so beautiful and so heart-piercing.
He could no longer control his emotions, turned around and kicked the tooth man. Because of his height, the kick hit his crotch impartially.
"Ah~" The tooth man only screamed half a sound, then he covered his crotch and curled up on the ground like a shrimp. His face was as pale as pig liver, and his mouth was wide open but he couldn't make a sound.
Chen Jingke said nothing and kept kicking at the Yaren.
When the woman in the room saw this scene, she was so frightened that she quickly held the child in her arms. However, her eyes were always staring at Chen Jingke, as if she was thinking about something.
The people working in the hospital stopped and watched from a distance, with different expressions. Some were happy, some were numb, and some were worried.
The lower-level officials of Yahang also looked at him from a distance and did not dare to approach. One of them quietly left the yard and did not know where he went.
Cheng Huailiang and the other three were also frightened by Chen Jingke's ferocious expression. This was the first time they had seen him so angry after knowing him for so long.
They had no doubt that if they gave him a knife, he could chop the tooth man into pieces.
The three of them were frightened for a moment and didn't know what to do.
Just seeing that the tooth man was taking in less air and giving out more air, they knew they couldn't go on like this.
Cheng Huailiang cautiously advised: "Master, if you continue to beat him, he will be killed. His life is not worth dirtying your hands."
Qin Yandao quickly agreed: "Yes, this is a yamen after all. Killing people will not look good if word spreads about it, and it will not be easy to deal with the empress."
Yuchi Xunyu patted his chest and promised: "If you miss today, I will twist off his head in another place to vent your anger."
After venting his anger, Chen Jingke gradually came back to his senses. He was also an official, and it would be difficult to get beaten to death in the Yamen, so he stopped.
Pointing to the officials next to him, he said, "You guys come here and wake him up."
The few officials who were pointed out secretly thought that they were unlucky, but they did not dare to disobey his words, so they came over cautiously and carried the Yaman aside.
After splashing water and pinching him, he finally woke up.
But as soon as he regained consciousness, he hugged his crotch and started wailing again. This time he finally made a sound, which was very shrill, but his mouth was immediately covered by the official next to him.
"Come here, you guys." Chen Jingke pointed to a few of the officials, repeated this, and said:
"Find out all the people I just mentioned, bring over the deed of sale, and prepare the sales contract for him to sign and pledge."
Those officials did not dare to delay and were ready to go find the people he mentioned.
At this time, the woman who had been watching finally made a decision, and she didn't know where the strength came from. She picked up her daughter and came to the door. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed:
"I beg the real person to be merciful and buy my child away. She is a girl and will be very beautiful when she is born. I beg the real person to be merciful and buy her away."
"Okay." Chen Jingke took a deep breath and shouted.
The woman stopped quickly, her forehead was already covered with blood, but her eyes looked at him expectantly. The little girl's eyes were full of fear, and she hugged her mother tightly with her small hands, but she did not cry.
Chen Jingke did not speak to her, but turned to the officials and said, "Count them two in."
The woman was ecstatic and kowtowed again: "Thank you, Master, for your mercy, thank you, Master, for your mercy..."
Chen Jingke turned his back to her and said, "Okay, watch your child."
After saying that, he walked to a wooden pile and sat down without wiping it. Cheng Huailiang and the other three stood behind him unconsciously, just like his followers.
The woman also dragged her child behind, as if she was afraid that this opportunity would disappear by accident. However, she was not too close to Chen Jingke and always maintained a distance of four or five meters.
The officials moved very quickly, and soon they called all the people over. There were thirty-one people in total.
Each of these people was frightened and excited, and among them those whose whole family had been sold were the happiest. No matter who the new owner was, at least they no longer had to be separated from each other.
Chen Jingke looked around at everyone one by one, and finally his eyes fell on two of the girls.
No introduction was needed, just by looking at their appearance, one could tell that the two of them were the dancing girls that Ya people were talking about.
The Muchai sarongs are not made of powder, but their beauty is still intact, and their temperament is completely different from those around them.
What's more, everyone else's clothes are in rags. Although the two of them are just ordinary coarse cloth clothes, they are 70% new.
It's a lie to say how beautiful they are. If they were really eight or nine points beauties, they wouldn't be sent to a dental shop for sale. At most, they are only seven points, but their Xiaojiabiyu temperament gives them a lot of points.
One of them is fourteen or fifteen years old and the other is twelve or thirteen years old. At this time, both of them also looked frightened.
Chen Jingke also discovered something. The two girls were actually very similar. Anyone who was not blind could tell that they were probably sisters.
I called the officials and asked, and it turned out that they were biological sisters.
They were born to the concubine of a wealthy businessman. After the wealthy businessman died of illness, they were sold by the mistress of the family. The man was so treasured that he planned to use them as a ladder for promotion, so they escaped the abuse.
Chen Jingke didn't say anything more and had the tooth man dragged over.
At this time, he had regained a little ability to move, and he didn't even dare to look at Chen Jingke, and he didn't even dare to have any emotions such as resentment.
He honestly followed the procedures and signed the transaction contract, and handed over all the deeds of sale.
After getting what he wanted, Chen Jingke turned around and left. He didn't want to stay here for a moment longer. Those who were bought hurriedly followed behind without anyone's instructions.
There are more people in the courtyard waiting for buyers and an unknown fate.
As soon as I walked to the entrance of the Yahang store, I met a group of policemen hurriedly approaching. The leader was Bai Lifu, the headman of Wannian County.
