Gu Beiheng carefully looked at the people in the cage and finally selected three of them. One boy looked away in disappointment when he saw that Gu Beiheng had not chosen him.
He stared straight at Gu Beiheng and said in a hoarse voice:
"Master, Madam. Buy me. I can do anything for you."
The boy's eyes shone with the brute force of a beast, his lips were covered in dried blood, and his fingers were tightly gripping the beast's cage.
He didn't know what kind of person Gu Beiheng was.
But he wanted to use this opportunity to leave the cage and find a chance to escape.
Gu Beiheng knew what he was planning without even raising his eyelids. He pointed at the slave in the cage and asked:
"How much?"
"Ten taels of gold." The fat aunt said with a smile.
Su Qi calculated that one would cost one hundred taels of silver.
It was so expensive, she couldn't bear to let the fat aunt rip her off.
"It's too expensive. Ten taels of gold can buy ten people outside." Su Qi sneered contemptuously, "It's hard to make money outside now. How can you just give me ten taels of gold?"
The fat aunt didn't know that Su Qi and Gu Beiheng were the ones who won money at the Sole Palace last night.
Otherwise I would have to give them a few cold eyes.
"Madam, that's not what I meant. Everything I buy for them, including food and clothing, costs money. Things on our black market are so expensive. We even have to buy needles and thread from the other side. You are kind-hearted and understand our difficulties."
The fat aunt kept smacking her lips.
Su Qi could see her saliva flying.
"Hmph, don't tell me so much. Gold is more important than a flattering hat. Two taels of gold per person."
When the fat aunt heard this, she felt that all these words had been said in vain for the two taels of gold.
"It's too little. I could earn more than this by sending them to the Colosseum." The fat aunt was a little disappointed and was still thinking of selling some people out.
Su Qi glanced at the slaves in the cage and found that they were all staring at her.
Even those who were not chosen looked at her eagerly.
The hope of life and the desire for an unknown life couldn't help but hurt Su Qi's heart.
She admitted that she softened her heart at this moment.
Su Qi pondered for a long time.
He slowly raised his head and said:
"Five ounces of gold per person, I want all of these people."
The fat aunt was delighted and pretended to be reluctant to give it up.
"Five taels of gold is too little, how about seven taels of gold each? Their benefits are more than just guarding the house. If you dig deeper, the entrance fee alone will be more than that."
Bringing them back and inviting wealthy families to see them would be a great honor. Only those who have been to the black market have slaves."
"Five ounces of gold. Take it if you like. You know there are ten of us here. It's not a small sum."
After several bargainings.
In the end, fifty taels of gold took away all ten people.
"Where do you live? I'll send someone to take you there." The fat aunt has a strong sense of service.
Su Qi thought about it and decided to go back to the inn to rest for a while.
So they asked them to be sent to Yuhe Inn. When the fat aunt heard the name Yuhe Inn, she thought of the three people from Sole Palace and remembered that they were staying at Yuhe Inn.
Sparks of gossip are emanating.
"Madam, have you heard of the three men who won money at the Palais de Soleil?"
Su Qi's thoughts spread so quickly?
"I heard that."
"Is it a creature with a green face and fangs, nine feet tall, that bites down on people holding wild wolves and drinks their blood? It's said that both men and women are too ugly to be seen in public."
"Yeah. It's really ugly." Su Qi rolled her eyes. Who said such nonsense? "I like to bite people and drink their blood."
The fat auntie tutted her tongue. "People like that deserve to be beaten to death," she said with a look of disgust.
Then he kicked the cage and snorted with a proud look on his face, "You should be thankful that you fell into my hands. If you fell into the hands of those three, you would be eaten alive every day."
Two men came out of the room, opened the cage and tied up the slaves with ropes.
The fat aunt took the chips Su Qi gave her and handed them over with a smile. "If you go to the Solai Palace or the Donglai Palace, remember that the chips can be exchanged for gold, or for gold and silver notes from the banks outside."
Su Qi stopped when he heard that.
"Do the owners of Solai Palace and Donglai Palace have businesses outside?"
"That's natural. Many owners have businesses outside." The fat aunt was very enthusiastic.
A dozen slaves were strung together.
The two men, one in front and one behind, shouted, "Stand still, we'll catch up soon. Don't even think about the impossible. If you get caught, living is worse than dying."
A dozen slaves stood together with different thoughts.
There are not many opportunities for them to stand like this.
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi walked beside them.
When we got to the main street, many people looked over.
Someone asked curiously: "Master Gu, are you buying slaves as thugs? Or go and pay your respects to the dock."
Gu Beiheng looked coldly at the gossiping eyes of the people on the street, and said with a slight twitch of his lips:
"I am the dock, and only others come to pay me respects."
This is too arrogant.
The people on the street were so upset when they heard this that they looked at Gu Beiheng with disapproval.
Arrived at Yuhe Inn.
The shopkeeper came over with a smile, covering his swollen mouth. His smile was so fake that it pulled the corners of his mouth.
He grimaced in pain, "Master Gu, Madam Gu. The Ninth Young Master said he was having lunch with the eldest young master of the Yue family and wouldn't be back to eat with them."
Gu Beiheng nodded and walked in.
The two young men driving the slaves noticed that something was wrong with the shopkeeper and asked in a low voice, "What are the origins of these two people?"
Someone nearby heard it and answered for the shopkeeper:
"They're the couple who won money at the Soleil Palace last night and murdered everyone at the inn. And you, a slave who's been sold, don't even know about them?"
The two boys' pupils shrank. "Didn't they say that the green-faced, fang-toothed creature was extremely ugly?"
The man is cold and noble, and the woman is as beautiful as a peach or plum.
How is it ugly at all?
Others shook their heads: "Who is talking nonsense?"
The slaves raised their heads slightly and stared at Gu Beiheng, then lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.
Send ten people to the inn.
Gu Beiheng took out a silver ingot and divided it between the two men. He then led a dozen slaves into the yard.
The yard has been cleaned.
There was still a trace of blood and a smell of blood.
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi did not ask to change houses, and they still lived here to intimidate others.
Brought them to the yard.
Gu Beiheng untied their ropes and looked coldly at the slaves in front of him who had different thoughts in their minds.
Su Qi stood beside him, also looking at these people with a cold expression.
They felt uneasy when being stared at and knelt down involuntarily.
"If you follow us, you will no longer live the life you had before. The person I want must be loyal. If you have ulterior motives, you will die miserably. When you reach the other side, you can leave if you want, but you must return the gold we used to buy you." Su Qi looked down at them.
The ten slaves knelt on the ground, thinking a lot.
They have offended people in the black market and are in danger themselves. How can they reach the other side alive?
Some people wonder, wouldn’t it be more promising to follow such a master?
Su Qi didn't care what they thought.
Call the waiter and take them to wash up.
He also asked the waiter to prepare ten sets of clothes for them to change into.
She gave five taels of gold to the waiter.
The waiter took it with trembling hands, but he didn't dare to refuse.
I have to bend over and make sure things get done.
The slaves were taken to wash.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng sat under the jujube tree in the yard, brewing and tasting tea.
In the next room, someone was leaning against the corner and peeking.
Gu Beiheng glanced over with a cold look.
The other person was so scared that he fell into the yard.
A voice called out, "I didn't mean to peek, I was just curious about you guys."
Su Qi picked up the teacup, smiled, took a sip of tea, and put it down. "Bei Heng, it seems we still have a tough battle to fight."
"Are you scared?"
"With you here, I'm not afraid."
Gu Beiheng took Su Qi's hand and rubbed it gently. "Don't worry, I'm here."
