Chapter 333
As the sunset turned west, the moon was rising, a team of nearly 100 people rushed towards Taohua Town. The old man carrying a bundle of materials on the hillside recognized that the leader was Ma Debiao, the famous "Yu Ma Gong" in Taohua Town. He originally wanted to go up and say hello to the other party. With Ma Debiao's generousness, he might have some rewards to buy some wine when he was happy, but when he saw the cold gazes of those strangers next to Ma Debiao who had never seen before, the old man finally held back.
Among those men riding horses, there seemed to be a group of Tubo people with hands and feet tied up by iron chains. Like all the wandering Tubo people in Taohua Town, they were dirty and messy, and probably the smell on their bodies was not much better.
Just as the team was about to enter the territory of Taohua Town, the local parents, Guan Min Xuze, led more than 20 yamen servants to greet him.
Taohua Town has been under the embarrassing geographical location over the years, half in Dali and half in Tubo. Generally, both sides sent people to take charge. After the Tubo Rebellion over the past six months, Dali took advantage of the situation to erode the other half of Taohua Town in Tubo. Now Taohua Town has completely occupied the territory of Dali. After Min Xuze, who had already eaten all the arrogance of Tubo people, led more than a dozen archers under his command to occupy the ruling territory of Tubo and included the entire jurisdiction in his private territory, this place has become a paradise where he does whatever he wants.
The Tubo people who were originally crowded in the Tubo area of Taohua Town suffered a more terrifying disaster than on the way to escape. They were unified by Min Xuze and rushed to a block. The streets and ends were blocked, trapping most of the Tubo people in it. Every day, they only used a small amount of food to hang their lives, allowing these people to live in a desperate situation. Min Xuze even let their subordinates do whatever they want. The killings there every day caused trouble to women and women, and it became a paradise for people like Min Xuze and a hell for Tubo people.
Min Xuze became the most blatant human trafficker in Taohua Town. Although Dali explicitly prohibits people from buying and selling each other, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Moreover, Duan Heyu is still a puppet emperor. Too many Tubo people are crowded in Taohua Town, which is even more poisonous. The quarry along Lishui, which is only half a month away from Taohua Town, urgently needs a large number of people. After several weighings, those tall and powerful Tubo men and women were transported there in batches. The trend of human trafficking caused by Taohua Town is even more serious, and the official can only turn a blind eye.
As he watched a group of people and the "Imperial Horse Lord" Ma Debiao slowly coming with a hundred Tubo slaves, Min Xuze's face became cloudy. He thought to himself: When did Ma Debiao start to dare to get involved in the "piglet" business? He was so impatient.
More than 20 yamen officers and Min Xuze ignored the manpower gap between the two sides and arrogantly met them.
Each of these yamen members had a long sword hanging on their bodies, four of whom were equipped with crossbows. At this time, the arrow was on the string, with murderous intent and majestic appearance. Seeing Ma Debiao and his group of unarmed men, they had already surrounded him and stared at Ma Debiao and his group with malicious intentions.
"The man surnamed Ma, your grandma, who gave you so much courage to do such a careless business on my land?" Min Xuze took out the law of Dali without hesitation. If he had never respected his young children, he would always use this trick to scare people.
Ma Debiao was about to speak, but a person next to him who looked like a shopkeeper had already met him. He bowed to Min Xuze in a low voice and said slowly: "Sir, look at what you said, how dare we make a rash on your territory? These Tubo traitors were captured by our Ma Ma on the ranch and were about to be taken to let the adults go. We Ma Ma was too late to avoid such beheading business."
The shopkeeper covered his sleeves and slid a bulging pocket into Min Xuze's sleeves. Min Xuze, who had collected money, was very happy.
Ma Debiao, who had just dismounted, had a follower following him. The man pressed a knife against his waist. In the face of his life, Ma Debiao stuttered and agreed: "I have no different intentions towards you, sir, and heaven and earth can be seen."
"Grandma, you know what you know. Come on, bring these pigs." Min Xuze almost walked out the "piglets" and quickly changed his words: "Take these prisoners to Sifang Street."
The shopkeeper just now walked up and said, "Mr. Fujian, our official Ma heard that you have a lot of research on fine wines. We sent people to transport ten jars of fine wines from the "Exiled Immortal House" in Chengdu Prefecture. We have been hiding fine wines for almost 61 years. I hope you must accept them with a smile."
The shopkeeper opened a jar of fine wine. After a strong aroma of wine was sucked into Min Xuze's nose, this short-sized master Min was drunk long ago. He couldn't help but scoop up a bowl of wine and poured it down. After drinking three big bowls, he pressed the wineworm down and said with a smile: "Good wine, good wine, grandma, how much knowledge do you have? Let's go and have a drink at the mansion. You, a thief with a stingy face, probably ask me for something. Let's go to the mansion to discuss it carefully. When I have enough drinks tonight, I will agree to you all my requests."
"Master Fujian clearly understands that Ma is worse than obedient than being respectful. There are indeed a few important matters to discuss, and it is a huge profit." Ma Debiao returned to his previous generous look. He thought that if these people entered the Fujian Mansion and the guards were tight, he would just find a loophole to call for help. The people who threatened him behind him were still surrendered. As long as he thought of these, he would have a clear confidence and his speech would become smoother.
Min Xuze was very satisfied with the group of Ma Debiao, who was quite good at hiding. He was originally a rude man and was very compatible with a rough man like Ma Debiao. He hurriedly walked up to invite him to walk side by side, and was completely unaware of the followers who threatened Ma Debiao. It seemed that the three bowls of wine just now were fierce. At this moment, Min Xuze staggered and kept muttering: "What a strong wine, I actually felt a little drowsy on my head."
Ma Debiao had to support Min Xuze to go to the Min Mansion, but Ma Debiao was already extremely worried. These jars of fine wines that he had collected for 61 years have not reached the point of "three bowls are not enough to reach the point". He thought to himself that most of these people had been tampered with the wine, and it was really a death for me.
