"That's right. Because the two women were disfigured, the brothel no longer wanted them. During this time, they were beaten and scolded every day."

"Oh, poor children, how did they get involved when their relatives committed a crime?"

"That's right. Master Qin has made a lot of money in business over the years, but now he's lost everything. His entire fortune has been confiscated, and his family members have been either imprisoned or sold off. Such a large family business has vanished just like that."

Zhao Xian followed behind, secretly astonished. He never expected that such a thing would happen in this dynasty.

Suddenly, Zhao Xian had an idea. He wanted to go to the brokerage firm and, if possible, buy the two girls himself.

Making white sugar yourself requires manpower, so having others help you will prevent the leakage of white sugar making techniques.

Thinking of this, he headed towards the broker. He had a total of four taels and six mace of silver on him, and he didn't know if that would be enough.

Before long, he arrived at the brokerage firm. The brokerage firm manager saw that he was wearing a long gown and looked like a scholar, so he went up to him.

"Young master, what kind of broker do you need?" the shopkeeper began to inquire.

"Could you tell me about other brokers?"

The brokerage firm doesn't have brokers coming in every day. The better brokers are bought as soon as they arrive, while the ones that don't sell are all mediocre ones.

"We don't have many brokers at the moment. Let me take you to see some. If you like them, we can discuss the price." After saying this, the shopkeeper led Zhao Xian to the backyard.

The backyard was large, with two rows of iron cages, totaling fifty or sixty. Most of the cages were empty, with only a small number containing people.
