Chapter 385 The Feng brothers and sisters who were sold as slaves

Seeing what happened ahead, the plainclothes guards of the Prince Qi's mansion immediately surrounded Li Yan, fearing that something unexpected would happen. However, Li Yan was very calm and pushed the guard away and walked over. This was not because Li Yan was brave, but because he had some support. There was a large army stationed outside the slave trading ground. In addition to the fifty elite guards he was carrying, it was not easy for others to hurt him.

As Li Yan and the others approached, they finally saw what happened before. They saw a young man in worn clothes holding the thigh of a slave merchant and begging for something. Behind him, there was a pretty girl kneeling, with a sad face and a clean and tidy Japanese costume. They seemed to be a Japanese girl to be sold. In addition to these three, there were also several slave market managers staring at the young man on the ground with an angry face.

Without Li Yan's sign, the smiling tiger beside him immediately walked up to the slave merchant and asked, "Shopkeeper Feng, what's going on?"

Li Yan was not surprised to see that Xiaomenghu met the other party. After all, since entering here, many businessmen and Xiaomenghu had already greeted her. When the shopkeeper Feng saw the acquaintance of Xiaomenghu, he felt a little embarrassed at the moment. He pulled his legs out of the young man's arms with force. The young man originally wanted to hug him again, but was stopped by the friend next to Feng.

At this time, the one-eyed Shark had already whispered to Li Yan to introduce the shopkeeper Feng in front of him. It turned out that this slave trader was quite special. He was not a slave merchant from Dengzhou or a person supported by the wealthy nobles in Chang'an. He was a person from a large family in the south. He usually didn't take much action, but he was a big deal every time he took action. Tiger Shark had done business with the other party several times before, so he had some friendship.

Shopkeeper Feng stepped forward and bowed to the smiley tiger and said, "I made it a joke for Brother Zhou. I thought that kindness would be rewarded, but I didn't expect that I would be entangled this time. It seems that this good person will be unable to do it in the future!"

After hearing what Manager Feng said strangely, Li Yan couldn't help but step forward and said, "Why did Manager Feng say this? Can you do something bad if you are a good person?"

Manager Feng had noticed Li Yan a long time ago. But Xiaomenghu did not take the initiative to introduce him, so he couldn't ask. Now he saw the other party asking him on his own initiative, so he smiled and asked Xiaomenghu next to him: "Brother Zhou, who is this?"

Without waiting for the smiley tiger to answer, Li Yan said first: "Haha, my surname is Yang, just call me Young Master Yang!" He didn't want to reveal his identity, so he simply hid his surname. Instead, he replaced it with his mother's surname.

Although Li Yan was a little unpolite when he said something first, Manager Feng also traveled around the world. He had seen various characters and knew that the young master Yang in front of him could be with him. He also had the aura of a superior in his tone. He must be a person of extraordinary origin, so he naturally did not dare to say anything, but smiled and told the story.

It turned out that the young man who was held down by his friends on the ground was also named Feng Shijie, and he was a friend that Feng Shuai Guest had just taken over. Speaking of which, Feng Shijie's life experience was very special. When he was two or three years old, his father took him to Japan and relied on his family carving skills to help carve statues of gods in major temples for a living.

Before, when Suwo was in power, he tried his best to promote the spread of Buddhism in Japan. Even Suwo's ​​father changed his home to a Buddhist temple to show his desire for Buddhism. It is precisely because of this that many Buddhist temples have been built in various parts of Japan. Feng Shijie's father has gained some fame in Japan with his skill in carving Buddha statues. He is often invited by some wealthy families to carve Buddha statues, and has also accumulated some wealth.

Maybe it felt like he was doing well in Japan. So Feng Shijie's father simply had the idea of ​​settling down. Not only did he have a real estate under the rule of Japan, but he also married a Japanese girl and gave birth to a younger sister to Feng Shijie, named Feng Shuyu, who is the woman who is now blocked by him.

Feng Shijie's family was a good life, and his father was respected. He learned his own skills with his father. But unexpectedly, Li Yan attacked Japan some time ago, and later a battle between the Emperor and the Suwo clan occurred. Although the victory and defeat were not decided, it caused the chaos in the Asuka area. Feng Shijie's family was destroyed in the chaos, and the family of four was separated. He took his sister to avoid war and look for his father, but there was no news. I am afraid it would be a lot of luck.

Unfortunately, when they took refuge in a well-known Japanese noble family, the noble family was unwilling to give up their military power, which caused the family to destroy the family. The whole family and his subordinates were all demoted to slaves. Although Feng Shijie repeatedly explained to the people who arrested them that they and his sister were both Han people and hoped that they could let them go, no one believed it. This was mainly because there were too many people among the Japanese nobles who could speak Chinese, and Feng Shijie could not provide any strong evidence, so he finally treated it as a slave and transported it to the slave port.

After arriving at the slave port, the male and female slaves were separated, so Feng Shijie and his sister were separated. He was sold to Feng a few days ago, but Feng Shijie was very clever. After finding the opportunity, he showed his identity as a Han Chinese to Manager Feng. His surname was Feng, which made Manager Feng quite fond of him. In addition, Feng Shijie also heard from his father's talk about some southern scenery, but Feng Shijie could answer it, which made Manager Feng no longer have any doubts. So for the sake of the same clan, he picked him out of the pile of slaves and took him to be a partner.

However, Feng Shijie has been thinking about his sister. After being free, he has been inquiring in the slave market. He has been separated from his sister for nearly half a month, and the Japanese girl is more popular than men. In theory, Feng Shuyu should have been bought by someone long ago, but it may also be that the Buddha was merciful to let the brothers and sisters meet because his father carved so many Buddha statues. After Feng Shijie asked for it for a few days, he really asked him to find his sister.

Speaking of which, the reason why Feng Shijie was able to find his sister was due to Feng Shuyu's outstanding appearance. In addition, the Feng family is not short of money and has received a good education since childhood. Although her temperament is not as good as that of the domestic ladies, it has a unique exotic flavor.

It is precisely because of this that Feng Shuyu was transported to the slave port and was immediately picked out and served with other young and beautiful Japanese girls. This is mainly to help them maintain good health and have a good complexion when they are sold, so that they can also sell at a good price. It is precisely because of this that Feng Shuyu has not been sold.

Feng Shijie was naturally overjoyed when he found out that his sister was still in Nugang, and he tried his best to rescue her sister. However, in a place like Nugang, it would definitely not work as a force, so he could only spend money to buy it. But the key point is that Feng Shuyu's appearance is too outstanding. Even compared with the beautiful Japanese girls of the same batch, she is the only one. So her price is also a sky-high price. There are even several slave traders who specialize in selling beauties who like her. They prepared a lot of money early on, and planned to buy it and train it well. Once they change hands, they can sell it at a sky-high price. In this case, how could Feng Shijie, a young man, redeem her sister?

Originally, today was the day when Feng Shuyu was sold. Several management officials took her to the stage for auction, and they would give it to anyone who asked for the price. Unexpectedly, they happened to meet Feng Shijie who followed Manager Feng. Seeing that his sister was about to be sold like goods, Feng Shijie was naturally heartbroken. In desperation, he stopped his sister and begged Manager Feng, hoping that he could lend money to him and redeem his sister first.

Manager Feng has a good character. If he were an ordinary Japanese girl, he would lend the money to Feng Shijie. However, a top beauty like Feng Shuyu didn’t even think about it without hundreds of guan. With a friend like Feng Shijie who was promoted from a slave, his usual wages would be added together, and at least he would not pay back the money for more than ten years, so he naturally refused to borrow money. However, Feng Shijie regarded Manager Feng as a life-saving straw and naturally begged hard. As a result, the scene that Li Yan saw just now happened.

After hearing the whole story, Li Yan frowned and immediately called the officials in charge and said, "You are all officials in charge of slave trade. So do you know that the King of Qi has had a clear law that no one can sell Han people as slaves?"

These officials did not know Li Yan, but they all recognized the smiley tiger and the one-eyed shark. They also heard the conversation between Manager Feng and Li Yan before. They knew that this young man was not simple, so they did not dare to be arrogant. They immediately replied: "Your Highness Yang, your highness does have a law that the Han people are not allowed to sell, but Feng Shijie and Feng Shuyu were arrested in the mansion of the rich family. The crime was more serious than ordinary Japanese people, and their identities were blurred, so they could not determine their identity as Han people. In addition, even if they were sure that their father was Han people, Feng Shuyu's mother was Japanese. The above articles were added together, so we treated her as a Japanese girl."

The official answered very well and had a good foundation. If it were someone else, he would probably have dealt with this. However, after pondering for a while, Li Yan said, "Okay, you did a good job before, but now Feng Shijie has been confirmed by Manager Feng. He is indeed from a Han Chinese. Can Manager Feng testify about this?"

When Li Yan said this, he looked at the shopkeeper Feng next to him. Although the shopkeeper Feng refused to lend money to Feng Shijie, he was still willing to help with this little busy. Moreover, this is also a fact, so he immediately nodded and said, "I can testify about this. Feng Shijie is indeed a Han Chinese. And look at his height, where is such a tall man among the Japanese?"

The last sentence of Manager Feng made everyone smile. Indeed, Feng Shijie's height can only be considered medium among the Han people, but he is much taller than ordinary Japanese people, so it is naturally impossible for him to be a Japanese.

Li Yan then said, "Since Feng Shijie is a Han Chinese, his sister has the surname of his father. According to the rules of our Han Chinese, we are naturally Han Chinese with the surname of Feng. There is no need to doubt this. As for the reason why they were arrested, it is easy to deal with. Just find the slave from the wealthy family and ask. If you really just stay temporarily, don't pursue it anymore and let them go! "
