"Let's go!"
Su Yin turned and left.
Back in the carriage, Nangong Jingzhi asked, "How was the harvest?"
"We have gained a lot. Now we will wait for good news from you."
"Good news?" Nangong Jingzhi chewed on these three words carefully and said with a smile: "It seems that you are very satisfied with Heng Youyi."
"I can't say I'm satisfied, I just feel she will be my partner."
"partner?"
This evaluation is already quite high.
Nangong Jingzhi also admired her very much.
"I'll ask someone to hurry up and give you news as soon as possible."
Nangong Jingzhi was very curious in his heart as to why she was related to Marquis Shunyi.
Now that we're involved, as a friend, I can only try my best to help her find detailed information so that she can show her skills.
On the second floor of the teahouse, Nangong Jingzhi and Su Yin sat in a window seat facing the street. Looking out the window, they could see the bustling scene on the street. There were many people yesterday, so the two of them didn't get together properly. Today, they had some free time, so they ordered a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks, and ate while talking. It was so pleasant.
The two were chatting happily when they heard a noise coming from downstairs.
Xiangling glanced outside and saw the young lady coming. She immediately replied, "Young lady, slave traders have entered the city and escorted many slaves, including many foreign slaves."
Su Yin stood up and looked out the window. In the distance, a large group of people were coming towards them. As the group got closer, the slaves tied together by a rope became more visible. In the front were some pretty female slaves, many of whom were from other ethnic groups. In the middle were some adult men.
The huge team marched along the street, attracting countless passers-by to stop and watch.
Nangong Jingzhi saw that she was interested in these slaves, so he began to introduce them, "These slave traders would lead a large number of slaves along the street every once in a while to attract the people of Shangjing City to buy them. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."
Su Yin was about to say that she was not interested, but she swallowed the words back.
Su Yin turned around and walked away, heading downstairs.
This action made the other three people confused and they immediately followed her.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Jingzhi asked from behind.
Su Yin didn't have time to say more to him, because she was not sure whether she had seen it wrong.
I quickly ran downstairs and squeezed into the front of the crowd. At this time, the slave parade had just arrived. Even though most of the female slaves were skinny, they still couldn't resist the men's eager and lustful eyes.
"Hey, this batch of female slaves are of good quality. Let's check the price later. If the price is right, I will definitely buy one."
"Don't brag. As soon as you buy it, your tigress will skin you alive."
"Look at that one, it's really good looking."
"That one is not good. The one over there is good. She has breasts, but she is just average looking."
…
A group of men were commenting on the female slaves. In their eyes, these were just commodities and nothing else.
Su Yin and his group naturally heard the discussions of the people around them. Nangong Jingzhi did not participate and was very quiet.
Su Yin didn't pay any attention to the discussions of the people around her. All her attention was focused on the line of adult male slaves at the back.
Soon the group of adult males approached, and Su Yin was able to observe them up close.
It's him, that's right!
It was Yang Fu, the eldest son of Yang Lizheng.
Yang Fu, who was walking in the slave team, had a sallow complexion and was so thin that his bones were visible. He was unrecognizable, with tattered clothes hanging on his body that could not cover his body. His exposed skin was covered with countless scars, some new and some old, some very scary.
This is just a rough look, and it's so terrifying.
He seemed like a soulless person, and he followed the team woodenly, like a walking corpse.
Su Yin held back her words and unconsciously clenched her hands into fists.
Nangong Jingzhi noticed the change in her mood and followed her gaze, which landed on Yang Fu.
Nangong Jingzhi did not recognize Yang Fu at first. After all, he did not have a deep impression of him when he fetched water on the mountain. They had only met once, not to mention that the other party had lost a lot of weight. If he was not a familiar person, it would be difficult to recognize him at the first time.
He didn't know him, but that didn't stop him from knowing that Su Yin knew this person.
After the group of slaves left, Su Yin turned her head and asked Nangong Jingzhi, "Where will they auction these slaves?"
"The slave market in the west of the city."
“When will it be held?”
"After they walked around this side, they went all the way to the slave market, and then they started over there."
"How much silver do you have on you?" Su Yin didn't have much money in his pocket, only a few taels of silver.
A few taels of silver is more than enough to buy some snacks and small items, but I don’t know if it is enough to buy slaves.
"Enough for you to buy a hundred or eighty of them. These slaves won't be too expensive unless someone bids against you maliciously."
"Let's go, then."
Knowing her purpose, Nangong Jingzhi naturally cooperated.
The carriage was moving very fast, and when they arrived at the slave market in the west of the city, the parade had not yet returned. Although the parade had not arrived, buyers who heard the news arrived here in an endless stream.
They arrived early, found a spot in a corner with a good view, and waited for the parade to return.
This wait lasted for half an hour, and the gathering of buyers had already filled the empty space under the stage.
The slave trader stood on the stage, looking at the buyers standing below, with a smile on his face.
When the gongs and drums sound, the business begins!
"Dear guests, I, Old Luo, will not waste any more time. I will go straight to the person and bid for the item I like. The highest bidder wins. Once the transaction is completed, I will not be responsible for anything else."
After the rules were explained, the slave trader, Boss Luo, waved his hand and the people below immediately pushed a group of half-naked female slaves onto the stage.
"These female slaves are all young, so you won't lose out if you buy them. They work during the day and warm your bed at night. There is no better deal in the world than this."
The people below seemed to dislike his nagging and started shouting directly.
"Don't be so long-winded, Lao Luo, just call the price directly."
"Call the price."
The men in the audience shouted loudly.
Instead of getting angry when being interrupted, Lao Luo was very happy, because it meant that money was going to flow into his pocket.
"Okay, since everyone is taking such good care of Lao Luo's business, I won't waste my words."
"The price of a female slave starts from five taels of silver, and the highest bidder will get it."
They first put out the first slave girl, "Who wants to buy her?"
"I'll give you six taels."
"I'll give you seven taels."
"I'll give you eight taels."
…
There was a constant stream of bidding from the audience, and once the price reached a certain level, no one would raise the price anymore.
We are not stupid. We know the price of a female slave very well. If we have too many, we will suffer a loss. Unless we like the slave girl too much, we will not hesitate to raise the price to buy her.
