If it was just to guard the house, Jiang Pengji would definitely not use those with criminal records. After all, she had to think about the safety of the Liu family. But if it was to train private soldiers … Hehe, that was another matter. She had yet to meet a troublemaker that she could not handle.
Deep in her bones was a spirit that loved to pursue thrills and thrills. Sometimes, it could even be said to be sick.
She remembered in her previous life, before she became the Commander of the army, her superior trained her, but he also had a headache because of her temper. Every now and then, she would see a psychiatrist for guidance. The psychiatrist did not alleviate her mental symptoms, and she almost drove them crazy.
After all, not everyone had strong psychological endurance. They could not accept a stranger flipping them over the moment they met.
Under the sharp gaze of the old housekeeper, the broker ordered the "goods" that were difficult to sell to be brought over.
Almost everyone wore shackles on their hands and feet. They did not look like the "goods" in the broker house. If they wore prison clothes, they would look like criminals.
"Are these all sold by the government?"
Jiang Pengji glanced at them. Half of them had tattoos on their faces. They had been branded.
"Some of them are official slaves. Some of them were originally sentenced to death, but they were lucky enough to be released due to an amnesty."
Looking at those people who were either dead silent, mocking, or harboring evil intentions, the woman broker's intestines turned green with regret. Although she was in a hurry to get rid of them, if Jiang Pengji really liked some of them and brought them back, the Liu's would definitely not let the broker house off.

Amnesty?
Jiang Pengji searched her memory and found that there was indeed such a thing. The government was celebrating the birthday of his favorite concubine. In addition, the drought that had been on and off in Dongqing for more than half a year had been alleviated. Calculating the time, it should be early February.
Under the nervous gaze of the old housekeeper, Jiang Pengji walked in a big circle and stopped in front of a young man who was about 16 or 17 years old.
Sleeping Sanguo Xiangshen: "Eh, he's really good-looking. I feel that his facial features are a bit similar to the little fresh meat that was popular some time ago."
Toudu Feiqiu: "Sigh, I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't mention it. But this one looks more mature and manlier than those little fresh meats!"
In ancient times, one could start a family at the age of thirteen or fourteen. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, one would already be the father of a string of little kids. Naturally, one would be more mature and steady.
However, Jiang Pengji's focus was not on looks. In fact, she was not very concerned about the looks of people other than women.
"Raise your head and let me see." Jiang Pengji did not use her hand to pinch his chin. Instead, she used the tip of her sandalwood fan to lift his chin. He seemed to dislike such a humiliating action, but his strength was no match for hers. "What a pity …"
This was also a convict who had been branded. The tattoo mark was on the right side of his face near his ear. Because he hadn't taken good care of it, the wound had started to fester and ooze out a fishy yellow liquid. Some of his flesh had even rolled out, mixed with wisps of bright red. It looked quite horrifying. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net

Yimi Yangguang: "Ahhhhh — it looks even more like it from this angle. His eyes are so good ~\\ (≧ ▽ ∀)/~"
Perhaps it was the seduction of beauty, but Jiang Pengji's sharp eyes saw a row of lollipops and lover's hearts floating across the screen.
The young man who was forced to raise his chin slightly squinted his dark and bright eyes. His thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes seemed to hide a sharp blade. Being stared at by him made one feel a sense of dread, as if someone was stabbing their eyelids with a knife.
His bloodless lips were dry and pale, and there were even some cracks. His cheeks were dyed a sickly red because of the heat.
Because he raised his head, his neck was long and slender. His untidy collar was loose, revealing the delicate curves of his collarbone.
The old housekeeper silently moved his eyes away. The scene was too beautiful for him to look at.
The woman trader also sighed with regret. "It is indeed a pity. Even if the wound on his face heals, it will still leave an ugly scar."
At the moment, the trend was for fair and delicate beauty. Many gentry families pursued the fashion of putting flowers on their hair and applying powder. However, the public's sense of beauty had not changed much. They were still very clear about the difference between beauty and ugliness. Although this young man looked more heroic, he was still a rare beauty.
If his face was not ruined, he would definitely be very popular if he was sold to a brothel with his appearance.
"Langjun, stay away from him. Be careful of his illness." The old housekeeper stood aside and disapprovingly looked at the fan in Jiang Pengji's hand.
She smiled and put away the sandalwood fan. Her eyes lingered on the young man. His eyes were full of unwillingness, as if he was an underage cub locked up in a cage. He had the ability to roar in the forest, but he was helpless against the reality.
"Woman trader, what did he do?"
The woman trader thought for a moment and said, "He is from the county next door. His mother went out to buy vegetables and bumped into a noble. She was pushed and fell to the ground. Unfortunately, she hit her head and passed away. When he found out, he took a knife and went to seek revenge. He killed a servant and was arrested. "
Originally, he was sentenced to 30 years of exile, but the family refused to accept it. They used their connections to send him to the death row.
Not only did he kill someone, but he also offended the nobles. That family would definitely use their connections to take his life.
However, he was lucky enough to be granted amnesty. Because there was a reason for it, and the motive for the murder was out of filial piety, he was taken out of the death row prison and became a slave. He went back and forth a few times, and finally, he fell into her hands.
The woman trader carefully suggested, "He is a thorn in the side. He is not easy to train. Why don't you look for someone else?"
Jiang Pengji pursed her lips and smiled. She opened her fan and smiled. "No, I'll take him!"
The old housekeeper and the woman trader were speechless.
Why did she hate him so much?
"It's hard to find someone who is literate. It's even harder to find someone who is literate and has some brains. It's just a few taels of silver.
The young man glared at her. She could even hear him grinding his teeth.
Jiang Pengji looked at the young man and smiled meaningfully. She was lucky, but the young man's luck was terrible.
If it weren't for her, he could definitely escape from the broker house that night. He was only one step away from the long journey. But … such a "prison break" was nothing in front of her. At most, it would arouse her interest. "What's his name?"
The woman trader's brain seemed to have short-circuited. She only regained her composure now and quickly answered, "His name is Xu Ke."
Jiang Pengji asked casually, "Do you have a courtesy name?"
The young man had practiced martial arts, but there were thick calluses on his fingers from holding a brush. He must have studied for a long time.
No matter who gave him his name, the scholars in ancient times should have a courtesy name.
Jiang Pengji still did not understand why naming was so complicated. A name was a name. Why bother with a messy courtesy name?
The woman trader could not answer. She secretly kicked Xu Ke and glared at him fiercely. "Langjun asked you a question."
Xu Ke pursed his lips. The anger in his chest had not been extinguished, but the situation was against him. He could only suppress it for now.
