The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

The faint fragrance of tea filled the room.

Xiao Rui took a sip of tea, and the fragrance remained in his mouth. He thanked the cheap third brother for his reminder: "Don't worry, third brother. I'm young and don't understand anything. Although I'm stupid, I still know fourth brother's intentions. Father You and your brothers are so smart, you know I was forced."

"You, who knows if you really don't understand, or if you don't understand." Xiao Ze scolded with a smile: "If you don't have money, come to me, we are brothers no matter what."

Yo, that's a good relationship, Xiao Rui likes such a brother who can hug his thigh.

So Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you third brother."

Xiao Ze was taken aback for a moment, then took out a few bank notes from his bosom, and Xiao Rui took them before he could count them.

"Only five hundred taels? Third brother, are you sending me away?" Xiao Rui said angrily.

Xiao Ze said speechlessly: "Who brings a lot of money when going out, besides, five hundred taels is not enough for you to squander for a few days, don't you stay in the mansion all day?"

"I have to save for gifts, and I have to grow up to buy delicious food. By the way, let's send some money to my grandpa's house..." Xiao Rui pointed his fingers.

Xiao Ze hurriedly waved his hands, he was defeated by him, and said: "Okay, okay, why don't you go back home with me to get it?"

"No, no, that's embarrassing." Xiao Rui smiled.

Xiao Ze nodded, thinking that this is more or less the case.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Rui actually took out a pen and ink, pushed it to Xiao Ze, and said: "Just write me an IOU, and I will send someone to go there when the time comes, I don't need to go in person."

The corner of Xiao Ze's mouth twitched, he really wanted to slap himself, what kind of brother are you talking about.

As for the IOU... I wrote it in the end, and the amount was left blank, so Xiao Rui could fill it out by himself.

"If you want to fill in one hundred and one hundred thousand taels, you can go to the Ministry of Households and ask for it from the treasury. I don't have any." Xiao Ze's tone was still somewhat resentful.

Xiao Rui took the IOU and blew on the ink.

Regardless of whether this third brother is genuine or fake, this love warms Xiao Rui's heart.

"Thank you third brother." Xiao Rui smiled sweeter.

Has it been flashed? I used Daxia brand homemade toothpaste!

"Hurry up and go back to review your homework, I'll be annoying to see you." Xiao Ze started to chase people away.

Xiao Rui didn't disturb his elegant mood, and left Tingyin Pavilion with an IOU.

At this time, it was approaching dusk.

"Your Highness, shall we go back?" Gao Quan asked.

Xiao Rui's gaze was attracted by the flag fluttering not far away, with a big word "slave" on it.

"Your Highness, that is the largest slave market in the capital." Gao Quan introduced: "There are family members of criminals whose household registration has been canceled, prisoners captured at the border, etc."

Xiao Rui nodded, and walked inside on a whim.

The slave market is huge, and there are squatting slaves on both sides of the road, men, women and children. Their necks are tied with iron chains, just like commodities, and their eyes are lifeless.

The most watched are little boys or girls. Although they are ragged and shivering in the cold wind of early spring, their faces are clean. It seems that slave traders also know how to wipe their faces clean for customers to choose.

Gao Quan didn't feel anything, it was commonplace. Not only the Daxia state owns the slave market, but Daqi and Dayan also have slave markets. As long as the formalities are followed, this is a legitimate business.

But for Xiao Rui, the heart is full of heavy.

I am not a saint, I can't save them, I can only be a mortal, and I feel pity in my heart.

"Your Highness, do you want to buy a few maids to go back?" Gao Quan asked.

Xiao Rui borrowed Duan Wangfu, except Gao Quan who was his confidant, the others were servants and maidservants sent by Xiao Feng.

"You can figure it out." Xiao Rui waved his hand, "After I've wandered around, I'll go back to the carriage and wait for you."

"Yes!" Gao Quan went to choose immediately.

Xiao Rui strolled around and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, a big man who was squatting next to him suddenly stood up and shouted, "My lord, buy me!"

Xiao Rui was taken aback. Looking back at him, he found that this big man was more than two meters tall, with a burly figure. Although his clothes were torn and his face was dark and he had a beard, his eyes were extremely bright.

"Squat down!" The slave trader was furious, stepped forward and beat him with a whip.

slap...

After a few whips, the already tattered clothes became even more tattered, and there were bloodstains on the places where the whips were whipped. If it were someone else, their skin would have been ripped apart.

"Wait!"

Xiao Rui stopped the slave trader and said, "Stop beating him."

The slave trader saw that Xiao Rui was dressed in sackcloth, but he had an extraordinary bearing, so he didn't feel contemptuous, and said with a smile: "It surprised the guests."

Xiao Rui looked at the big slave man, and found that he was staring at him all the time, and asked curiously: "You let me buy you?"

"Yes!" The slave man nodded, his tone with a northern accent.

"Why?" Xiao Rui asked curiously.

"I can protect you, and you can give me dignity." The slave man said in a deep voice.

Xiao Rui looked at him for a moment, and asked the slave trader, "How much is he?"

The slave trader smiled and said: "It's not expensive, it's five hundred taels. This big black man is very skilled in martial arts. When he was arrested, more than a dozen people took advantage of his injury to get close. But there is something I need to tell you, this big black man This one has been sold three times, and it was sold back because of hurting the master. If you really want to buy it, you have to be careful."

Xiao Rui nodded, then took out the bank note from his pocket and handed it to the trafficker.

The trafficker took out the resale document and handed it to Xiao Rui, and then opened the anklet and handcuffs of the black man.

The resale document introduced the black man's original place of origin, name, age and other information, as well as a legal resale certificate.

The black man rubbed his wrists, clasped his fists at Xiao Rui, and said, "Thank you for saving me, my lord."

Xiao Rui thought he was interesting, and asked, "How do you know that I will definitely save you? As for giving you dignity, where does it come from?"

The black man said: "Young master has an extraordinary bearing. You can see that you are not an ordinary person. Five hundred taels is not a lot of money for you. You are looking around, and there is no tolerance in your eyes. This is pity. But I have value, and I believe that I can gain the dignity of being a human being." !"

The dignity of being a human being!

This sentence touched Xiao Rui.

He reached out and handed the resale document to the big black man, without even reading the content inside.

The black man was startled and looked at Xiao Rui in surprise.

"You are free." Xiao Rui smiled.

"Young master, why?" the black man asked curiously without reaching out his hand.

Xiao Rui stuffed the document into his tattered clothes, patted his chest again, and said with a smile: "A slave lives for dignity, I respect you, there will be a period later!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Rui turned around and left.

The black man didn't chase after him, he took out the resale document from his arms, and stared at Xiao Rui's back for a long time.

Xiao Rui returned to the carriage to rest.

Not long after, Gao Quan came back.

He bought five 12- and 13-year-old girls, and let the Spring Wind Pavilion, which specializes in training maids, train them in etiquette and rules. After a month, they will be completed quickly and sent to Duanwang's mansion.

At this time, the sun was setting.

Xiao Rui rested with his arm on his pillow, and was thinking about how to get away with tomorrow's test, when the notification sound of not being so gregarious suddenly came to mind.

"Ding dong..."

"New task: Excellent completion of the Emperor Xia's test, the descending value +15. This task is mandatory, if you fail, the descending value will be deducted by 50!"

Fuck!

Xiao Rui sat up suddenly and cursed loudly.
