Chapter 6 is quite confusing

Kang Deyi came out of Xichun Tower. The blazing midday sun shone down on him listlessly, as if a big stone was pressing on his chest, which made him feel uncomfortable. Unknowingly, he walked to the bustling Bianliang Market and was about to rush through this mixed fish and dragon.

When he was there, he suddenly saw Zhao Xingde crowded behind a large and noisy group of people in front, stretching his neck and looking in.

Originally, the Kangde native would never stop to watch the excitement, but at this moment he couldn't help but feel curious. He walked forward slowly, looked over the wall of people, and suddenly became angry. He saw a young woman lying on her back tied to a piece of flesh.

On the case, the woman's chin was slightly pointed, her cheek was criss-crossed with several blood stains, and her original pretty face could be vaguely seen. The clothes on her upper body were taken off, revealing dark and delicate skin, and a tattered robe.

The skirt was draped around her waist. What made the Kangde descendants furious was that the woman's waist was clearly tied with a piece of Tiemuzhu tablet from the Xia Kingdom.

"Come and see, this unruly woman has been chopped up and sold, and you can have any piece of meat you want." A burly man with a ferocious face and a shirtless body stood behind the meat case, waving a wrist-cut knife.

While shouting, he used the tip of the knife to make gestures on the woman's body.

The big man shouted in a rough voice: "Ears, nose, breasts, thighs, whatever you choose, come and buy it. You can buy any piece of meat you want. Don't be so stingy. It's a little more expensive than pork and cheaper than mutton."

, don’t you want to buy it back and try it?”

There were more and more people around, some were looking at the beauty tied to the butcher table with shrinking eyes, some had regret in their eyes, and some were looking at the eye-catching white-fronted tiger tattooed on the big man's back with fear.

, some whispered.

"What kind of evil has this woman done to deserve to be dealt with like this by Mr. Wang?"

"She eloped with a scholar. As a result, the scholar had a wife and refused to live a good life. He was sold to a brothel and refused to accept customers honestly."

"Does Master Wang really want to chop her up? Zhang Lizheng doesn't come to persuade her?"

"Just scare her and make her be more honest. Mousepi, do you still want to be a hero and save the beauty?"

"I'm so disfigured, and so damn beautiful. My wife asked me to come out to do soy sauce, and I just happened to be in a good show... Oops, why is my wife here? It hurts... it hurts."

.....pain......"

Zhao Xingde saw the woman lying quietly on the meat table, biting her lips tightly, her eyes dimmed and lost their luster, and she seemed to have lost her shame. He couldn't bear it. At this time, he heard Mr. Wang shout again: "This is it."

If no one wants to buy a bitch, then chop off one of her hands first." After saying that, he raised his knife and slashed it down amidst everyone's exclamations. Everyone and Zhao Xingde exclaimed, almost thinking that the woman's hand was gone.

About to be cut off, a hand stretched out from the side and firmly held the man's hand holding the knife.

"Brother Kang." Zhao Xingde was stunned for a moment, and then he saw clearly the Kangde descendant who was glaring at Mr. Wang angrily.

Kang Deyi came to save the man. Wang Erye pressed down several times, but the right hand held by Kang Deyi did not move at all, and was pinched to a dull pain. Seeing that Kang Deyi was dressed luxuriously and exuded an aura of wealth, his hand

His skills are not weak at all. Wang Er first felt that he was a dwarf, but he could not collapse in front of everyone. He shouted with anger and anger: "I will deal with my own slaves. Brother, what do you mean?"

Kang Deyi stared into Mr. Wang's eyes, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said word by word: "I bought this woman."

The Second Master Wang was so worried that he was staring at him. Seeing that Kang Deyi was willing to buy someone, he followed the donkey down the slope and asked, "All?"

"I want them all." Kang Deyi said coldly, reaching out and taking out a note from his arms. The price of good mutton in Bianliang is fifty cents per catty. This woman is petite, but only weighs seventy or eighty catties. Four cents is enough to buy it.

After Wang Er took the hand, he just started to untie the woman from the butcher table. The woman sat up and just pulled up the skirt under her waist to cover her upper body, and then said to Kan Deyi: "If you are

Buying me back as a concubine is a mistake." Her face was haggard, her thin lips had lost all color, but the words she spat out were very firm.

Kang Deyi took out a bronze medal from his arms and flashed it in front of her eyes. He immediately put it back and said in a deep voice, "Can you come with me now?" This bronze medal was of the same type as the household registration number on the woman's waist. The woman looked at her with eyes.

There was a flash of surprise in his heart, and he immediately lowered his head and said nothing, lowered his head and followed Kant out of the crowd.

Zhao Xingde was about to say something to buy the woman, but Kang Deyi beat him to it. He also admired him from the bottom of his heart. He followed the two of them and squeezed out of the crowd. He only heard Kang Deyi say to the woman: "You need to recover from your injuries first. Half a month."

There will be a caravan going to Samarkand later, so you should follow them home." The woman said sadly: "A Xiu, a slave, disobeyed his parents' orders and eloped with others. He will be humiliated for life and will never be able to return home.

"She raised her head and said to Kant's descendant with expectant eyes: "Thank you for saving me, sir. If you don't dislike me, I will work for you as cattle and horses in this life without any complaints. In the next life, I will make a ring of grass to repay you." Kant

Yi turned around and glanced at Zhao Xingde who was following him. Without saying anything, he turned around to greet Zhao Xingde.

Zhao Xingde came forward quickly, raised his hands and praised: "Brother Kang helped us when we saw rough roads. He is really a kind and righteous man." Kang Deyi smiled lightly and said: "To be honest, Brother Zhao, I am from Xia country. When I saw this girl,

, and the feelings of Sangzi were moved. The law of the Lu State in the Spring and Autumn Period was that the people of Lu were subject to concubines to the princes, and those who could redeem them would take their gold from the mansion. The Xia State followed this method, and I rescued this Axiu girl with a little effort.

Yes, there is no such thing as giving money and spending money."

After Zhao Xingde praised Xia Guo's good governance, the two parted ways. Kang Deyi took Na Axiu back to Fuhaixing, and first wrote a note asking Liu Xunshi, who was patrolling the Yamen of the Zuo Army, to punish Na Axiu.

The market ruffian Wang Erye then asked Axiu: "Where does the scholar who tricked you into coming to Bianliang live? I will send people to gouge out his heart and liver and see the color." The place in the middle of the Xiaguo River is

In the place where the Fourth War was fought, there were all the Di Yi clans around. The people were accustomed to fighting, and the people were brave and brave. The most important thing was to repay the kindness and revenge. Axiu knew that the Kangde descendants were not joking casually, and immediately knelt down on the ground, saying that he was sorry, but he did not

After being willing to reveal the name of the scholar from the Song Dynasty, Kang Deyi could only sigh and let Axiu work by his side for the time being. He had many mundane affairs at hand, so he gradually let go of the matter.

After finding Chen Dong in Taixue, Zhao Xingde showed Chen Dong a dozen of disclosure posts he had written. While Chen Dong read them, he praised him and said: "I dare not say anything else. If you talk about laughing, yelling and scolding, it would be an article, too."

There are three thousand bachelors, and Yuan Zhi ranks first." Zhao Xingde smiled and said: "It's a pity that we won't take the exam today." Chen Dong also smiled and shook his head, and the two of them went to the streets of Bianliang together, taking advantage of the empty streets.

The yamen servant, Li Zheng, quickly posted more than thirty pictures. Chen Dong took Zhao Xingde to a small bookshop in a store to collect ten coins. The money Kang Deyi spent to save Axiu just now was just enough.

4, Zhao Xingde looked at the Jiaozi in his hand, and was secretly sighing that talent and learning are money, when he suddenly heard Chen Dong mysteriously say: "There is another way to make money. It happens to be today. Would Yuan Zhi be willing to go with us?"

Zhao Xingde listened and Chen Dong explained in detail. It turned out that it was a custom at this time that when a large family performed rituals or worshiped Buddha and offered incense, the female family members would tie the silk threads into various knots that were difficult to tie and hand them over to the eminent monks in the temple in person.

The monks have to untie all the silk knots before the limited time. The knot has the same sound as the calamity, which means to eliminate disasters and calamities. The ladies have nothing to do in the boudoir. I don’t know when they started to discover that tying and untying knots is actually a matter of time.

It was quite an interesting confrontation game, so the various silk knots became extremely complicated and difficult to solve, so that the eminent monks of Daxiangguo Temple had to secretly find someone to untie the silk knots that had caused them to violate the precepts. As for the solution,

The masters of knotting not only give valuables such as gold melon seeds and small silver ingots sometimes wrapped in silk knots, but also pay high or low rewards according to the difficulty of untying the silk knot and the length of time.

"It's just a silk knot, is it so difficult?" Zhao Xingde had a suspicious look on his face.

"The green bamboo snake's mouth, the wasp's tail the needle, neither of which are poisonous, but the most poisonous to women's hearts." Chen Dong shook his head with emotion and said, "Yuan Zhi, you don't understand our Bianliang ladies very well. In order to let Jin Jie

It is difficult to untie. Before tying the knot, soak the silk thread with well water. After tying, dry it in the sun to allow the knot to shrink and tighten. There are even cases where the knot has been repeatedly soaked in water and dried in the sun for more than three times, until the knot shrinks and becomes similar to a stone.

, this is still the most common trick." He had an expression that had experienced a lot of hardships on his face, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot.

"Is it such an exaggeration?" Zhao Xingde thought to himself, and followed Chen Dong to the Daxiangguo Temple with doubts.

Daxiangguo Temple is the most prosperous place in Bianliang City. Not only pilgrims gather, but also many vendors buy and sell goods near Daxiangguo Temple. They not only open shops along Bianhe Street in front of Daxiangguo Temple. This day coincides with

It is the Buddha's birthday on April 8th. The ten major monasteries in Bianliang all have Buddha bathing meetings. They prepare boiled incense and sugar water, called "Buddha bathing water", and give it to the pilgrims who come to worship the Buddha.

Xiangguo Temple, far away, is full of pilgrims who come to worship Buddha. Various shops take advantage of the opportunity to do business. In addition to shops, the inside and outside of Xiangguo Temple are filled with dense stalls. Everything used in daily life, such as mats, screens,

There are everything for washing, including saddles and bridles, bows, swords, dried bacon, etc.

Close to the Buddhist temple, there are exquisite and elegant things such as candied fruits, Zhao Wenxiu pens, and Pan Gemo. The verandah in front of the Buddhist temple is a stall that is produced and sold in the temple, specializing in the sale of rags and flowers made by the nuns and maids of the temple.

, beaded hair and face, futou hats, special bun crowns, ribbons and other clothing and accessories. The stalls at the back of the palace are equipped with books, toys, pictures, specialties from various places and more expensive things such as incense and medicine. The most exaggerated ones

Yes, next to Xiangguo Temple, there is actually a restaurant called Roasted Pig Yuan, which is known as the best roasted pork in Bianliang. Zhao Xingde was amazed that almost all the people were doing business, not only the imperial army, but also the monks were not immune.

.

While dealing with the vendors who kept selling all kinds of goods to him, Chen Dong said to Zhao Xingde: "Earlier, the shops in the city could only be bought and sold in the square and were not allowed to face the street. Later, the dignitaries gradually could not make ends meet, so they allowed the merchants to use money to sell goods.

The walls have been destroyed, and shops and markets are everywhere, and even Buddhist temples are not exempt from vulgarity."

Zhao Xingde heard a sour resentment in his tone. Before the walls were demolished, the shops and housing prices in Bianliang City were not expensive. Those who could demolish the walls and open shops without being questioned by the Kaifeng government were those with connections.

Senior officials, this group of people made a lot of money during the wall demolition movement in Bianliang City. When Bianliang's shop sales were completely liberalized, the prices of Bianliang's shops after the wall demolition had been raised to more than ten times.

Gao, businessmen like Chen Dong's father who had no deep roots as businessmen in Bianliang had no choice but to grit their teeth and spend a lot of money to take over the store.

In recent days, the imperial court has begun to impose various restrictions on buying houses in Bianliang in the name of rising housing prices. It is said that rare things are more valuable. This move has pushed the housing prices in Bianliang to a sky-high price. So much so that the monks of Daxiangguo Temple

They couldn't stand the temptation of aduwu, so they agreed to some businessmen who had good relations with the Buddhist temple to open shops in the temple. As a result, the money and goods extracted from these shops every year reached an astonishing amount, and by virtue of the special status of the Buddhist temple,

They were also exempt from paying taxes. The abbot, who was in charge of the food, knew the taste of the marrow. Little by little, he actually used all the places inside and outside the Xiangguo Temple where shops and stalls could be opened. The vast Xiangguo Temple almost opened up into the largest small commodity market in Bianliang.
