Chapter 736 The Infuriating Human Trafficker
Wan Qiqi quickly arranged Feng Zhi's accommodations and provided him with new clothes.
In her opinion, it was a waste to have such good skills by her side.
In order not to waste this talent, Wan Qiqi made a decision.
She decided to add a few people to the empty house.
Feng Zhi will have to return to the Bai family sooner or later, and he needs his own protectors.
"Madam, if you want to find someone, you can go to the brokerage firm!" Feng Zhi suggested.
Wan Qiqi paused, turned to look at Feng Zhi, and asked, "Do you think people from brokerage firms are more reliable?"
"The brokerage business is chaotic, but if you're looking for someone with martial arts skills who is loyal to you, you can try going to the brokerage business."
Feng Zhi lowered his head as he said this, "I am not very talented, but I have some ability to judge people. After observing for a while longer, I will be able to tell whether I can stay or not!"
"Okay, whatever you say!"
Wan Qiqi smiled and agreed, then entered the dental market with Feng Zhi.
As soon as I entered, I heard cursing.
"You little brat, you're tired of living, trying to run away!" A middle-aged man picked up a whip and lashed it at a skinny boy.
The whip struck the boy's fair skin, immediately leaving a red welt.
The boy just held his head and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Wan Qiqi wanted to stop it, but Feng Zhi held her back.
"Madam, you don't intend to buy that man? Don't go and kidnap him, otherwise, he will suffer an even worse lesson!"
Wan Qiqi turned around and noticed a hint of sadness in Feng Zhi's eyes, which she quickly concealed.
Although Feng Zhi never revealed his background or how he came to the Bai family and became their secret guard.
Judging from today's situation, Wan Qiqi guessed that Feng Zhi might have also come from such a place.
She sighed, "Fine, I'll do as you say. If you find something suitable, just name your price, and I'll pay!"
Feng Zhi nodded and followed behind Wan Qiqi, continuing to walk forward.
Immediately, a slave trader looked over and greeted Wan Qiqi with a smile.
"Madam, which type would you like to buy? I have all kinds here!"
Wan Qiqi looked at the slave trader with a sense of disgust, and asked with a stern expression, "Do you know any martial arts?"
"Yes! Of course, but they're a bit more expensive than usual!" the slave trader replied with a smile.
"Take me to see!" Wan Qiqi said coldly.
The slave trader seemed used to the way others spoke to him, and led his men toward his territory.
Then, an iron cage appeared in front of Wan Qiqi.
There were eight or nine people inside, both men and women, all dressed in tattered clothes.
But they all share common characteristics.
A pair of dark eyes stared at Wan Qiqi, filled with both expectation and fear.
"Stand still! Let the important person take a good look at you!" The slave trader banged on the iron cage with a stick, his face fierce.
Seeing this, Wan Qiqi couldn't help but clench her fists.
These are living, breathing people, yet they are being treated like animals, locked in iron cages and sold!
She can't accept this!
Feng Zhi seemed to sense Wan Qiqi's anger and stood in front of her, blocking her view.
Wan Qiqi reached out and pushed Feng Zhi aside, took a deep breath, and gritted her teeth, saying, "They're all so thin, are you sure they're capable?"
“Oh, madam, what are you saying!” The slave trader pointed to one of the boys and said, “This one is quite formidable! He ran away the day before yesterday, and it took five or six of us to catch him! He got a beating before he behaved himself.”
The man being pointed at by the slave trader glared fiercely at the slave trader, and his gaze toward Wan Qiqi was also unfriendly.
Feng Zhi leaned closer to Wan Qiqi and whispered, "This person does seem quite nice!"
Upon hearing this, the slave trader immediately promoted the product, saying, "Yes, this man is incredibly skilled! Buying him is definitely a good deal!"
Wan Qiqi, however, remained quite calm. "His skills are a good thing, but what about his background? I don't want to buy someone with problems!"
The slave trader initially thought Wan Qiqi was an outsider, but he didn't expect her to ask this question. He quickly smiled and said, "This man's family was killed in a rebellion, and he was sold. He wasn't from here, and it took him a long time to get to me. But I guarantee he'll be fine!"
Wan Qiqi still didn't believe it when she heard it.
The slave trader immediately added, "It's true! This person signed a life-or-death contract; you can beat or kill him as you please after you buy him!"
A death contract means that the person cannot use money to redeem themselves.
Unless one day his master lets him leave.
Even so, he was still a slave, a person of low social status, and so it was in later generations!
"Really? How much silver?" Wan Qiqi asked slowly, looking absent-minded.
"Fifty taels!" The slave trader held up his finger.
Wan Qiqi glanced coldly at the human traffickers, then turned to leave, saying, "No sincerity whatsoever, let's go somewhere else!"
Seeing that the woman was about to leave, the slave trader immediately said, "Forty-five taels... no, forty taels... Madam, please don't go, we can discuss this again!"
"If you say that, I really can't discuss it with you!" Wan Qiqi said coldly.
"Sigh, I won't try to raise the price with you. Thirty taels, no less!" the slave trader sighed.
"Fifteen taels!"
When Wan Qiqi announced the price, Feng Zhi's lips twitched.
He never expected Wan Qiqi to bargain like that.
To be honest, if someone has some skill, especially a male, and is under a death contract, the starting price is at least twenty taels.
"Madam, your price is far too outrageous," the slave trader said unhappily.
"I only care whether the quality is worth the price!" Wan Qiqi said coldly.
At this moment, Feng Zhi suddenly said, "The man you just pointed to, and that girl over there, are both thirty!"
The slave trader looked in the direction Feng Zhi pointed and saw a girl locked in a separate cage.
