Although the goatee was in a fit of anger, when he thought that the precious vase he had spent all his money on was broken by this clumsy maid, his heart would not stop bleeding, and he wished he could beat him to death, but when he saw him stop him The people turned out to be two young men dressed in brocade clothes, and their spirits suddenly weakened a little, as if they had suddenly changed from a beast that was about to eat people to a docile sheep.

Obviously, young people who can wear this kind of clothes in Chang'an City are not easy to mess with.

"So that the two gentlemen know that the villain is teaching the servants how to do things." The goatee put down the stick and cupped his hands. The etiquette is decent, but compared with the arrogant arrogance he had when he was about to hit the little girl a moment ago, it was strangely funny.

Li Xin couldn't help but want to sneer. He bent down, looked at the little girl with many bruises on her hands and feet, subconsciously wanted to ask her if she was okay, but before she could say anything, he wanted to slap himself twice.

Where is the need to ask? Which eleven- or twelve-year-old girl in future generations is not loved by her family as a heart and soul, and she is afraid that she will be tired if she does a little work, let alone beaten into such a bruised and bruised appearance, can this be better?

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's okay. It's just a vase." Li Xin said with a gentle voice as his nose was sore. The little girl was still a little ignorant about this, all she knew was that she didn't need to be beaten anymore, she immediately burst into tears, and her dirty little face was washed out with tears, like an abandoned kitten, which made people feel distressed Extremely.

Qin Huaiyu stood behind Li Xin watching this scene, his eyes gradually softened.

"It's just a broken vase. It's worth killing people?" Li Xin raised his head and glared at the goatee. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked terrified.

Hearing this, the goatee said unconvinced: "That vase is of the same value, enough to buy ten such slaves. Besides, it's just a slave, if you beat him to death, what's the point?" His tone was very natural, It is full of a meaning that has been so since ancient times, and I don't feel how terrifying my words are at all.

The word "servant" was almost equivalent to livestock in the Tang Dynasty, and sometimes even worse than livestock. Although the law does not allow the intentional beating of slaves and servants, and it also stipulates how much copper coins will be fined for violations, as far as Li Xin knows, he has not heard of anyone who was really punished for beating slaves to death, or just beating them casually. After death, the mat is wrapped and thrown into the mass grave? Who will look at them again?

Li Xin is not ignorant of these things. He also knows that in the eyes of Tang people, the behavior of this goatee is normal and understandable, but his behavior is a little unreasonable, even stupid and weird-it's none of your business to beat his slaves thing? Is it necessary for you to intervene?

However, he couldn't help it.

He doesn't think he is a caring person, as long as many tragic things don't happen in front of his eyes, he can pretend that he doesn't know and doesn't care. However, when a tragedy or even a tragedy is really in front of him, he really has no way to force himself to stand by, even though he clearly knows that in a sense, standing by is the most correct and normal s Choice.

One vase can exchange ten lives, ha ha, what a ridiculous common sense, and what is even more ridiculous is that such common sense was unimpeded throughout the entire Tang Dynasty.

Li Xin trembled with anger. He only felt that his three views were being violently impacted, that the life he cherished infinitely was being trampled on so recklessly. What shit vase can hold even a little finger of such a real little girl?

Qin Huaiyu stepped forward and patted Li Xin on the shoulder. Only then did Li Xin free himself from his chaotic thoughts, let out a long breath, and forced himself to calm down.

"Bring it." Li Xin stood up, spread his hand expressionlessly, and stretched it out in front of the goatee.

"What?" Goatee froze for a moment, not knowing what Li Xin was asking for from him.

Li Dao said, "Where is this little girl's slave document? Bring it to me!"

Perhaps it was Li Xin's condescending and commanding tone that angered Goatee. He sneered and said, "This old slave is teaching his servants a lesson. What is it that hinders others? What a pity. It's really bad luck to meet a young master like you who has a problem with his brain." Do you think you are lawless in Chang'an? Just ask for a slave bond, who do you think you are? Tell you, there are people in my family in the court!"

Behind many big merchants there are dignitaries as the backstage, or in other words, most dignitaries who want to do business will not end in person, but will introduce a servant or other agent to manage outside. This was the norm in the Tang Dynasty, which emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce.

Qin Huaiyu laughed loudly when he heard this, and said, "You blind old slave, you don't even know His Royal Highness the King of Chu, yet you dare to bring out your master. I would like to know if there will be a big man in the dynasty who will not know you because of a Is the servant against the king of Chu?"

"King Chu?" Goatee turned pale with shock, and subconsciously glanced at Li Xin. Pretending to be a royal family is a serious crime of beheading. No one would tell such a big lie just to save a small servant. The words of the young man in brocade clothes in front of him are probably not false. In other words, this guy who was staring at him with a cold face turned out to be the famous Chang'an rich dude?

Li Xin snorted out of his nose, seeming very upset.

Goatee suddenly felt that his legs were weak, he was a little unsteady, his upper and lower teeth were fighting, and he completely lost the ability to speak—oh my god, he was so rude to the king of Chu just now, if the king of Chu pursued it, he would fight Broken legs are light! In addition, if the master knew that he had a conflict with the king of Chu because of a slave, he would definitely be chopped into pieces and dumped into the moat overnight with rubbish.

Li Xin is not interested in continuing to pester, because the sky has become even later. He casually took out two silver pancakes from his money bag and threw them on the ground, saying: "I bought this little servant, and I will compensate you with your broken vase. Is two pancakes enough?"

Goatee wanted to nod subconsciously, but soon realized again.

Damn, where is the king of Chu's money so easy to get? Whose family's servants does he like, who can't send them over eagerly? He also lost two pieces of money together with the vase. Since when did King Chu become so talkative? This must be some kind of deceitful new trick! Goatee is almost sure that if he dares to accept the money, he will have a better life in the future.

Thinking of this, Goatee's knees softened, and he knelt down directly to Li Xin, with grief and regret on his face, thinking that when he died for his own father, he might not have been as sad as he is now.
