Chapter 114: The New Emperor Ascends the Throne
The emperor of the Dayan Empire fell seriously ill and died, the fifth princess Xiao Yaer ascended the throne and became the new emperor, and the new emperor of the Dayan Empire ascended the throne, but it did not cause much sensation among the people.
In the empire, the prominent General Mansion of the Long family in the past was a sign of defeat, after the withdrawal of the Long family, it was deserted, no one cleaned it, and it was covered with dust in just a few months, and it did not return to its former glory.
Returning here makes Long Yanhua feel like she is coming back, but it is not the feeling of going home, for her, the place where there is a family is home, and this is the home where her family lives.
Since the death of the old emperor Xiao Xing of the Dayan Empire, no one in the royal family dared to embarrass her existence, as the apprentice of the Martial Saint, now that the Martial Saint has returned, there is the support of the Martial Saint behind her, who dares to offend? So knowing that she is the 'chaotic party' of the Long family, no one has arrested her, but let Long Yanhua leave the palace and return to the Long family.
The familiar and unfamiliar Long family is no longer brilliant, but she believes that one day, the Long family will be stronger than it is now.
"Lingling, go and call our people back. Long Yanhua commanded lightly.
"Yes! Master. Song Ling agreed, and the six or seven-year-old child hurriedly ran out of Long's house and ran towards the outside of the city.
Turning his head and glancing at the bird bear on his shoulder, "Go follow Lingling and protect her if necessary." ”
"Okay, master. "The immature voice is not as sweet and soft as Lingling, and the current appearance of the cultivated bird and bear is still a sight to behold.
Long Yanhua once adopted some orphans outside the Dayan Empire, and now it has been a year, maybe these times are still short, but after going through tribulation, those orphans who remain are the most trustworthy and can be used, and it is time for them to see the world. The Long family also needs them to restore their former glory.
"Let's go to the slave market, it's time to buy some maids and servants to come back and clean up the Long family again. Took Lin Yiyun's hand and met his eyes, the dark and deep pupils seemed to tell a lot, concern, worry, distress, she was alone, but she had to bear so much.
Lin Yiyun couldn't help but clench Long Yanhua's hand and nodded heavily, "Leave these things to me." Our Lin family can get a lot of excellent slaves. ”
In the face of his kindness, she shook her head slightly, "Lin Yiyun, I know you are doing this for my good, but I am doing this for my family, not myself." Although we ...... Sooner or later, you have to get married, but ~~ Well, some things still have to be clear. Long Yanhua's face was slightly red.
Lin Yiyun was slightly stunned, and smiled rarely, "Where do you think of it, I care about you, but ...... Since you said so, let's go shopping. ”
As he spoke, the two of them walked towards the largest underground black market in the capital, the slave market......
......
The slave market, the most crowded, the worst, the dirtiest place, here, everywhere is full of stinking smells, rats, lice, fleas, rampant.
Adjacent to the slums of the capital, in the large market, groups of men and women in tattered clothes and dirty squatting and sitting together, shivering and with a straw stuck above their heads. The people here are slaves to be traded, to be bought and sold, without human rights, and to be pitifully cheap. It was also the place where the lowest slaves were traded.
Wooden fences were fenced off from everything in the market, and there were many entrances and exits to the slave market, and the fee to enter the gate was only a small two copper coins.
After paying the money, the two entered the door, the ground under their feet was still a little muddy, and it had just rained heavily in the capital two days ago, and the ground had not yet dried. The appearance of Long Yanhua and Lin Yiyun immediately attracted many informants to stretch their necks to look at them.
The two beautiful and handsome guys, a match made in heaven, looking at the clothes and temperament, a discerning person can see that the two are not ordinary rich, only a big family will cultivate such a young master and young lady, noble and proud.
"Young master, young lady, do you want the villain to take you around here? Villain Desan, I know the best here, what kind of slaves do you need to buy, the villain will definitely be able to introduce you to the best." A man in his thirties walked over and said with a flattering face, the man spoke with the air of a profiteer, but he looked quite flexible, Long Yanhua nodded, "Then you can show us the way, we want to buy a few maids with clean hands and feet, and a few servants who are neat and fast." ”
As soon as he heard that there were many people who wanted it from his employer this time, De San immediately smiled, Okay, young master, please come with me.
Slaves are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, those who squat on the periphery, dirty are the lowest slaves, most of those slaves have wounds, large or small, but they are transported from other places, or captured, and through the slave group to go inside, it is an ordinary slave, it is best to use it on weekdays, and there are some who have kung fu, but most of them are samurai and the like, and they can be guarded by the gatekeeper.
As for the middle slaves, they are some of the better ones, and there may be warriors and martial artists, or some beautiful beauties, and it is not impossible for rich people to buy them back for recreation, but the price of these medium slaves is on the high side. There are also high-level slaves, but if you want to buy high-level slaves, you need to be introduced to other places, where the environment is harsh, and the people who come to buy slaves generally spend a little money to buy some ordinary goods.
"I don't know what price of slave Miss Young Master wants to buy?" De San actively introduced, "The low-level slave here has a five-copper coin, the ordinary slave has a twenty-copper coin, and the middle-level slave is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the price of one silver coin to ten silver coins ranges from one silver coin to ten silver coins......"
Although they knew that it was cheap to buy slaves, Long Yanhua and Lin Yiyun did not expect that slaves were so cheap.
"Then look at the ordinary slaves, I hope to buy some honest maids, preferably those who have worked as maids in the courtyard of the mansion before, well, and, there must be no bad records." Long Yanhua said, buy some maids since childhood, and when you arrive at the general's mansion, you can immediately follow the steps and know what to do.
"Okay~~ Miss, young master, please come with me. At this moment, De San also saw that the young master and the young lady who led the way didn't say a word, and it was mostly the young lady's request, so he also regarded himself as a customer and treated him more attentively.
The three of them stopped in front of a group of women in coarse cloth clothes, and a man in his forties with a big waist and a round waist saw that De San was coming, and immediately walked over, without looking at the introducer De San, and directly received Long Yanhua and Lin Yiyun. "What slaves are you going to buy?"
"Uncle Meng, these two young masters and young ladies want to buy a few maids with sharp hands and feet, and a few honest servants. "Desan continues to curry favor, he is the informant introduced, and after the young master and Miss buy a slave here, he has another commission, so he is very courteous.
When the man called Uncle Meng heard this, he seemed to hear that the guest's request this time was a bit high, but this proves that the business opportunity is coming! As he spoke, more than 30 people came out one by one and stood out of the crowd. "These used to be maids' and kept for good use. ”
Long Yanhua looked at them one by one, and was stunned, most of the more than thirty people in front of her looked a little familiar, although they were dressed in coarse cloth clothes and lowered their heads with gray faces, but she would never be mistaken.
"You used to be ...... The maid of the Long family?" asked softly, but her voice startled a group of people who looked up suddenly.
"Little, Third Miss!" someone called out her identity in surprise.
It's really the maid of the Long family! I didn't expect that after her Long family was ruined, even the maid in the house would be sold! What a shame.
"Boss, I want all these maids, but you have to tell me who sold them. "No matter who it is, whoever dares to touch her Long family, she will seek justice.
"This ...... This ......" Uncle Meng hesitated, "This young lady, our business has rules, and some information cannot be disclosed......"
"One gold coin, I bought everyone, and I don't have to look for the rest. Raising his eyes, a gold coin was already sandwiched between his fingers, and the meaning was obvious, as long as the other party said it, then the money belonged to him.
Uncle Meng, the slave boss, paused, and couldn't help but be tempted, in fact, the so-called confidential news didn't have such a thing at all, but he said casually, since someone was willing to spend money to buy the news, he naturally wouldn't be stingy with a few words, "This young lady, these maids were sold by the big housekeeper of the Long family." ”
"Oh?" Grandpa couldn't know people like this? This answer surprised Long Yanhua that the housekeeper of the Long family would do such a thing.
A gold coin was thrown out, and it fell accurately in the hands of the slave boss, Long Yanhua looked at the maid of the Long family, "You go with me, also, where is the servant of our Long family sold, if anyone knows, lead the way, and bring people back together this time." ”
"Third Miss, the slave knows. "There is one person among the maids, fifteen or sixteen years old, this maid used to take care of the second brother Long Xiaochen, and Long Yanhua has an impression of her.
"Then you lead the way. ”
......
After walking around the slave market, Long Yanhua bought back the slaves of his own Long family, although some of them were still missing, but most of the original maids and servants of the Long family were recovered. gave them some money to go back first and buy some necessary things to clean up the Long family, while Long Yanhua and Lin Yiyun continued to wander around the slave market.
De San followed the young master's side with a smile on his face, as an informant, his employer bought a lot of people this time, and his commission will not be less, and it seems that the two of them will continue to buy people, so he is even more enthusiastic to guide the way. "Young master, miss, what kind of slave do you need? ”
"I'm going to buy some ones that are not weak and take them back to be nursing homes, huh...... It is best to be a martial arts master. Long Yanhua said frankly, but she didn't know how shocking her words were.
