Xue Pan explained, "I've found out that they are the family members of Doctor Zhou from Ping'an Hall!"
Are any people missing?
Jia Huan nodded in satisfaction and said directly, "If there are no missing people, let's just buy it!"
The two men stood right in front of the family and spoke bluntly about buying people, which made the faces of the entire family turn pale.
"No less, no less, I've already investigated everything!"
Xue Pan counted them carefully and hurriedly replied, "I'll summon the officials right now and buy them all!"
As he spoke, he beckoned to the servant to handle the formalities, while his restless eyes darted back and forth over the young lady inside, as if he were examining some kind of object.
Chapter 77 The Wasteful Behavior (Please Add to Favorites)
"Wait, we want this batch of slaves!"
Just then, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager came and tried to snatch the person away.
Behind him followed three or five burly men with arrogant faces.
Judging from his attire, he must be a servant born into a household.
"Who do you think you are, acting so arrogantly?"
Without Jia Huan even needing to give him a signal, Xue Pan eagerly stepped forward, glaring at him and saying unhappily, "Don't you know the principle of first come, first served?"
"What do you mean by first come, first served?"
The steward sneered, "We're taking this family's female healer!"
Jia Huan suddenly realized that they were fighting for the same purpose as him.
What he wanted was Dr. Zhou, the resident physician at Ping An Tang, but the manager in front of him, whom he didn't know, wanted the Zhou family's daughter, who had a background in medicine.
Female doctors with slave status like this have always been very popular in wealthy families.
"Hmph, you think you can just give it to me just because you want it?"
Xue Pan didn't care about any of that and said defiantly, "I'm not someone to be trifled with!"
"Kid, do you know which family we belong to?"
One of the servants standing next to the steward said loudly, "Our master is the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Do you think you can afford to offend him?"
"The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Ma Yuan?"
Before Xue Pan could react, Jia Huan asked curiously, "Are you from the Ma family?"
"How dare you!" "You insolent brat!" "Outrageous!"
The stewards of the Ma family, including the servants behind them, all glared with displeasure, their eyes seemingly spitting fire, their hearts filled with extreme anger.
"How dare this brat address my master by his given name! He has a real audacity!"
The speaker was the steward of the Ma family, whose gaze toward Jia Huan was cold and fierce, clearly harboring murderous intent.
"Go to hell! I'll not only call Ma Yuan by his first name, I'll beat up his dog!"
Without any hesitation, Jia Huan pulled out the horsewhip wrapped around the waist of his henchman and began to whip him wildly without saying a word.
First, a whip lashed across the face of the Ma family steward, knocking him to the ground as he cried out in pain. A bloody welt on his face was a shocking sight.
He lashed out and knocked another servant of the Ma family to the ground. With two more lashes, he swept all the servants of the Ma family off their feet. The whip in his hand whistled through the air and struck the servants of the Ma family with a particularly crisp sound.
"Ouch, ouch, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Someone's going to die if you keep hitting me!"
Judging from the Ma family steward's loud and forceful plea for mercy, one could tell that the whip marks on this fellow's body were just minor injuries.
Jia Huan was still young at this time, and his strength was about the same as that of a ten-year-old boy. Even if he held a horsewhip, it wouldn't cause much harm.
If they hadn't suddenly struck and caught the other side off guard, it wouldn't have been so easy to knock all of the Ma family's sons to the ground.
"What are you all standing there for? Get in on the fight!"
With a shout, Jia Huan told Xue Pan and his servants, "Don't stop until they're unrecognizable to their own parents!"
The boss has spoken, so what else is there to say?
Xue Pan and his servant rushed forward with strange laughter, punching and kicking the few servants of the Ma family. Instantly, screams and wails filled the air.
At this moment, Jia Huan stopped.
He smiled and looked at the Zhou family from Ping An Hall, who were already stunned, and chuckled, "Don't worry, it's just a normal exchange and sparring session!"
As he spoke, he looked at the official who was wiping away cold sweat but dared not speak and said, "My men have already spoken with you, right? Hurry up and complete the formalities so I can take him away!"
"Don't try any clever tricks. Ma Yuan, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is not someone to be trifled with. Do you think the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion is someone to be trifled with? You'd better think this through!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll take care of it right away!"
The guard standing nearby turned pale with fright and nodded repeatedly, saying with a smile, "It won't be long, young master, just wait a moment!"
Just kidding. The Jia family of Rongguo Mansion is a top-level noble family established during the founding of the country. They are also local bigwigs in the capital. How could a mere minor official from the Ministry of Justice dare to offend them?
As for the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he was naturally someone they couldn't afford to offend. But when faced with two evils, they had to choose the lesser one. The officials of the Ministry of Justice knew how to make their choice.
The procedures were processed very quickly!
By the time Xue Pan and his servants had beaten the servant boy of the Ma family until he was bruised and battered and his cries of pain had subsided, the Zhou family of Ping'an Hall had successfully obtained the indenture.
"Let's go, let's get the Zhou family out of here!"
Jia Huan stuffed more than a dozen indentures into his pocket, waved for Xue Pan and the servants to stop, and helped to safely escort the Zhou family out of the street filled with a strange atmosphere.
I originally wanted to continue looking for the family members of another doctor at Renhetang, but unfortunately they didn't appear on the street today. I can only wait until they come out before I can come back to buy people.
"Brother Huan, today's fight was truly exhilarating, especially since it was against the servant son of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!"
Once outside the district where the Ministry of Justice was located, Xue Pan burst into excited laughter, his face beaming with excitement.
Even if he were stupid or dull, he would know what kind of person the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was. He was a top-level official whom the Xue family could not afford to offend.
Furthermore, if the other party were to target them relentlessly, the Xue family's status as imperial merchants might be at risk.
He felt a little scared when he realized what had happened, but he was also filled with indescribable excitement.
After all, he was the one who stood up for Jia Huan to beat people. In Xue Pan's understanding, the Rong family would definitely protect him and the Xue family, otherwise who would be willing to risk their lives for the Rong family in the future?
"Don't be too happy yet, your Xue family might be affected later!"
Jia Huan saw things clearly and chuckled, reminding her, "When you get back, explain things clearly to Aunt Xue and your sister, so you won't panic when you're being targeted and not even know what's going on!"
"understood!"
After hearing Jia Huan's advice, Xue Pan's originally high spirits suddenly became somewhat low.
It's easy to imagine that when his mother, Aunt Xue, and his sister, Xue Baochai, find out what happened today, they will probably blame him for being impulsive and reckless.
Xue Pan was somewhat frustrated. He couldn't explain to his closest relatives that Jia Huan had asked him to take action, and if he didn't, he feared that life would become truly difficult in the future.
If you offend an outsider, there's still room for maneuver. But if you offend Jia Huan, that little tyrant, how will you ever survive in the capital again? You might even be kicked out of the Rong Mansion.
There's no doubt that if Jia Huan were truly focused on ripping off the Xue family, he could really drive them away.
Just like this incident, if Xue Pan had disobeyed orders and acted rashly, Jia Huan only needed to whisper a few words in Master Zheng's ear after they returned, and the Xue family would definitely have gotten into serious trouble.
As the saying goes, enemies are bound to meet. Jia Huan himself never expected that he would clash with the servant son of Ma Yuan, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, when buying people.
Since the two families have practically fallen out, it would be quite easy for Jia Huan to play the role of a spoiled young master.
Chapter 78 The Ins and Outs of the Martial World (Please add to your favorites)
Jia Huan and his group soon arrived at the small martial arts school.
Just then, his maternal uncle Zhao Guoji happened to be there. He called out, "Make sure these people are settled in properly, and remember to treat them well. I have a very important use for them!"
At this moment, the Zhou family members were all disheveled and in a sorry state.
The women were in the worst condition, emanating a strong stench of rancidity. Their faces were obscured by filth, but their swaying and unsteady appearance clearly indicated their extremely poor health.
Several men had wounds on their bodies, some of which were festering and had a strange, foul odor.
Clearly, he suffered a lot in prison!
Zhao Guoji readily agreed and immediately arranged for people to take the Zhou family down.
Since leaving the manor, he has been living a very relaxed and happy life. His whole demeanor has changed, and he is no longer the taciturn person he used to be.
Indeed, people's state of mind varies depending on the environment.
"Call Ni Er here, I have something to ask him!"
After sending Xue Pan away to wander around the small martial arts school, Jia Huan ordered the thugs who took turns coming to obey Hou's orders to go and call Ni Er, who was making money somewhere.
Ahem, ever since the small martial arts school became the headquarters of the thugs on Ningrong Street, Jia Huan simply arranged for these thugs who voluntarily came to stay and guard the place.
The main reason is that Jia Huan might have given some last-minute instructions that required these thugs to do something.
As the saying goes, rats have their paths and snakes have their routes. Don't underestimate the street thugs; they may not be respectable, but they are surprisingly well-informed.
They could even learn about the secrets of some wealthy families through certain channels.
This time, Jia Huan planned to ask the thugs who had come to him to help him gather some information.
