The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 66 Horse Bandit Zhou Tongming
Qingniu Mountain is about eighty miles away from Chang'an City. There has been a group of horse bandits hovering here. Everyone knows that horse bandits come and go like the wind. Therefore, Chang'an's attempts to exterminate this group of horse bandits have always been unsuccessful.

The last time Li An directly killed the leader of the other party's horse bandits, he originally thought that this group of horse bandits would stop for a while, but who knew, someone would soon take over this group of horse bandits from Qingniu Mountain. Weakened, but one or two points stronger.

Why was this group of Qingniu Mountain horse bandits so easily subdued? Because the person who subdued this group of Qingniu Mountain horse bandits was none other than the brother of the dead leader of the horse bandits. The two had a business relationship in the past, and now he After your brother died, it was normal for his brother to take over his brother's team.

The man who took over the Qingniu Mountain Horse Bandits is called Zhou Tongming, a person named Renyazi. Many people will know what Zhou Tongming does when they hear Renyazi. Yes, it is human trafficking.

Human trafficking was allowed in the Tang Dynasty. We know that the Tang Dynasty was a prosperous and glorious dynasty, but in fact, under such glory, there were many dirty places.

Among them, the buying and selling of people is the darkest place.

The famous Kunlun slaves and Silla maidservants are all products of the Tang Dynasty. These people are all slaves. Those who are under the so-called common people are allowed to buy and sell at will. They are equivalent to slaves and are not protected.

Killing him is similar to killing a chicken. Even if he is accused, he will only be fined a few copper coins at most.

What is meant by being below the common people? It means official servants, miscellaneous households, working and music households, private servants, and tribes. These are all lowly households below the common people. They cannot marry common people unless they are approved by the court, otherwise they will be married for the rest of their lives. He is a lowly household, and my children and grandchildren are all lowly households and will never be able to stand up again.

These people can be bought and sold. Of course, because of such a regulation, Renyazi can have more room for development. Zhou Tongming cooperated with his brother, the horse bandit, and the horse bandit robbed and robbed goods. Following these people, Robbers, children, and women will all be bought back by Zhou Tongming, and then sold as low-income households. Although these people are not low-income households, Zhou Tongming has a way to get proof that they are low-income households.

In the east market of Chang'an City, there is Zhou Tongming's shop, which is also the largest place for buying and selling people in Chang'an City.

Zhou Tongming knew that his horse bandit brother was dead, so he immediately came and swallowed his horse bandit brother's Jingniushan. In this way, he would have less money to pay in the future. He was the horse bandit who robbed people. It's him, he's the one selling people, and he doesn't know how much money he's going to make.

And at this time, another person rushed to give money to Zhou Tongming.

"stop.!"

A carriage arrived at the foot of Qingniu Mountain, and two horse bandits rushed out from the mountain, holding long knives in their hands and blocking the carriage's path.

However, at this time, a name card was handed out from the carriage, with four gilded characters on it, Duke of Ju's Mansion. Although the horse bandit was illiterate, he knew that the name card in front of him was no ordinary thing.

So after the two horse bandits looked at each other, they decided to go back and report.

This report led Zhou Tongming to personally come down to greet the man in the carriage. In fact, the man in the carriage was not a big shot. His name was Tang Cheng, and he was a servant who had followed Tang Shanshi since he was a child. He was considered Tang Shanshi's roommate.

This room is a one-bedroom and two-bedroom house, not in the sense of being inside. Although Tang Shanshi is also a good valet, Tang Cheng looks a little embarrassed, so he has always been the follower behind Tang Shanshi.

But there is a saying that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door. Such a follower who is like an ant in the Duke's Palace of Ju will be looked up to by a group of people outside. At least this person, Zhou Tongming, may never be able to get along with Ju. The gate of the Duke's Mansion.

"Oh, oh, Mr. Tang came all the way, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful!"

After Zhou Tongming saw the greeting card from the Duke of Ju's Mansion, he immediately took a group of his younger brothers out of the mountain gate to greet him. When he came to Tang Cheng's carriage, he immediately picked up the vitriol he could only speak a few sentences in.Tang Cheng, who was in the carriage, used to be a slave in the Duke's Mansion of Ju Kingdom, but now he was called sir. The corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, and he walked out of the carriage pretending to be a master. He bowed his hands to Zhou Tongming and said: "Master Zhou, no need to be polite. Although today is the first time we meet, we are destined to meet each other. We will be friends from now on."

"Oh, that's really great, Mr. Tang. The village is simple and crude. If you don't mind, please come and have a chat." Zhou Tongming raised his hand to invite.

"It's easy to say. It's easy to say. This time I came to Master Zhou to help him with a small matter. It's convenient to enter the village." Tang Cheng nodded, he really looked like a gentleman.

"Please!" Zhou Tongming was happy and immediately invited Tang Cheng to enter the village.

It was about tea time. Zhou Tongming and Tang Cheng sat down in Zhou Tongming's room in the village. Zhou Tongming also brought a cup of tea in a decent manner. You know, I don't know where this tea was snatched from. No one knew how to cook. Tang Cheng came today. Zhou Tongming immediately asked someone to make tea, put some onions, ginger and garlic, and served it like this.

Tang Cheng had never drank tea. After all, he was a slave. He had served tea, but he had never drank it once. After seeing the tea, Tang Cheng pretended to take a sip. Oh, let me go. It has a strange smell. It contains green onion and ginger. There are even many unfamiliar things in garlic, and the taste is imaginable.

But Tang Cheng swallowed the tea without hesitation and showed an elegant smile: "Good tea, good tea!"

When Zhou Tongming heard that the other party said the tea was good, he really thought the tea was delicious. He also took a big sip. My God, he almost sent Zhou Tongming away. It was so salty that it was unusable. Words to explain.

"Cough. Cough!" After coughing violently several times, Zhou Tongming swore that he would never drink this Laoshizi tea again.

Looking at Tang Cheng, who had an elegant smile on his face, Zhou Tongming sighed, how could this guy swallow this tea? He was really not an ordinary person.

After finishing a sip of tea, the two of them took a second sip. At this time, Tang Cheng finally revealed the purpose of his trip: "Master Zhou, I don't tell secret words. This time I'm here." Master Zhou’s copycat is to ask Master Zhou to go down the mountain and kill someone.”

"Who?" Zhou Tongming asked quickly.

"Lee An..."

"Li An?" Zhou Tongming asked with a slight twitch of the corner of his mouth: "Who is he?"

Tang Cheng was speechless. This Li An was Zhou Tongming's brother-killer and enemy. Zhou Tongming didn't know that he was his biological brother?
"Li An, don't you know that Mr. Zhou is the one who killed your eldest brother?" Tang Cheng looked at Zhou Tongming absurdly.

"Ah?" Zhou Tongming was stunned, and then said "Oh": "It turns out he killed my eldest brother. It's really abominable. I must cut him into pieces."

"Uh!" But Zhou Tongming's words always made Tang Cheng feel like he was lying.

However, this is not something that Tang Cheng needs to take care of. Tang Cheng has only one purpose for looking for Zhou Tongming, which is to let Zhou Tongming kill Li An. Other things have nothing to do with Tang Cheng, so whether Zhou Tongming lied or not has nothing to do with Tang Cheng It doesn't matter at all.

After hearing Zhou Tongming say that he would kill Ang Li with a thousand cuts, Tang Cheng yelled "OK"!
　Thanks for the reminder, thanks for the message!
