Chapter 8 The Slave Market Takes Hearts
Three miles from the city there was a huge slave market, and some people who had no means of life and no one were forced to come here to be slaughtered like cattle. The lucky ones were picked to some big families to be rough girls or small servants, and they could keep a living for the rest of their lives, while the bad luck met some buyers with special fetishes, and almost died on the night they were bought.
"Why did you suddenly want to come here today, and all the people in the palace were driven away by you?"
Feng Guixie sat in the private room upstairs, glanced at Lian Qingcheng lightly, pursed his lips and asked with a smile.
Lian Qingcheng lay on the table, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Yes, the people in the house thought I was difficult to serve, so they all left." ”
Shui Lingyu, who was standing at the door, heard it, and laughed out loud, "Childe is talking nonsense again, when did we think you were difficult to serve." ”
"Since I have no complaints, when I got up this morning, none of those girls were sleeping lazily and didn't come into the house to serve me, I spoiled them on weekdays, young master, I will buy a few intimate ones here today, and I will change them all after returning home, so that I don't have to look at their faces every day."
Lian Qingcheng shook his head dissatisfiedly, although his words were ruthless, he didn't look half angry on his face.
Feng Gui looked at her inscrutablely, but he didn't say a word, the sons of some ministers in the court often take a small servant with them when they go out of the house, but this person is different, and it is rare to let the girl pretend to be a man and accompany her in person.
There was a sudden commotion downstairs, and she stood up with her arms propped up, walked to the window and opened the window a crack.
The slaves in the hall were filled with all the places they could stand, men and women standing opposite each other.
A lean man stood at the front, his eyes looking at the slaves like rats, then he smiled with satisfaction, and shouted to those sitting around him, "Ladies and gentlemen, the hour has begun for us to sell slaves. ”
There was a commotion in the crowd, and the slaves, some sighing, some despairing, and the women were already sobbing quietly.
A bloated man slowly stood up, his eyes shining green and looking directly at the female slave on the side.
A few little guys followed him, and pointed with squints: "Young master, this is good." ”
"Hey, young master, this is beautiful, like a flower."
"Young Master, Young Master"
A few people were like the top girls in the kiln, their eyes were very **, and the girls who looked less than sixteen trembled.
"The people of the Liu family really smell the same."
Feng Guixie didn't know when he had already stood behind Lian Qingcheng, looked at the man below and snorted coldly.
She was stunned, and then said with a smile: "I heard that Liu Chengxiang's eldest son, Liu Wuyong, relied on his identity as a concubine to bully people outside, arrogant and lascivious, and did all kinds of evil, most of the slightly better girls in the house are not innocent, if I didn't see it with my own eyes today, I still don't believe it, it's just that the fourth prince was raised by the queen mother since he was a child, and he is half of the Liu family, I don't know if it's so interesting?" ”
"The third son can bring the dead alive with a sharp mouth, and he has a seven-trick exquisite heart, what you think of me, I am what I am."
Feng Guixie hooked his lips lightly, and when he looked down again, Liu Wuyong stretched out a pair of salty pig hands and touched those girls.
Lian Qingcheng suddenly pointed to a man in tattered clothes below and said to Shui Lingyu: "Xiaoyu, tell the boss, I want this person." ”
"Why, Childe, that person is so ugly."
Shui Lingyu glanced at it with disgust, her whole body was dirty, and only Gongzi could look at it.
"Didn't you see that he didn't look at anyone just now, but he kept looking at me through this window, it is rare among slaves to see such a person."
She flickered her eyes, stretched out her hand to push Shui Lingyu downstairs, and when the figure disappeared, she slowly collected the smile on her lips and stared at the man downstairs.
"What is your real purpose?"
Feng Guixie twisted his eyebrows and looked at her, not to ask, but to ask her to tell the truth.
"Isn't my purpose a major event for the Four Princes?"
She pursed her lips and smiled, clasped her hands and continued: "If we want to compete with the other two factions, the first thing we need is silver taels, my father has been honest all his life, and I can't risk cutting off the back road of the palace, so the best way is to make money with money, and these slaves who are not recorded in the household register anywhere are the ones who earn silver taels for us." ”
"What are you going to do?"
"Don't worry about this fourth prince, six months, just give me six months, and then the economic lifeline of the entire Dachang will be in our hands."
She didn't answer, the heroism of that mouthful, let anyone say it, he was suspicious, and it was she who said it, so that he only had all his trust.
After a while, the dirty man was brought up by Shui Lingyu, he glanced at Qingcheng, and knelt on the ground without being humble or arrogant.
"The villain Xie Gongzi's ransom."
"You're not afraid I'll kill you?"
Lian Qingcheng laughed, his voice was very cold.
The man's back shook suddenly, and he looked at her firmly: "Since Childe bought the villain, the small life is yours, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it." ”
"Well, not only is it good-sighted, but also loyal, what's your name?"
"Since I entered here, everyone has lost their own names, and since Childe bought me, everything the villain should have been rewarded by Childe, and I asked Childe to give me a name."
He lowered his head, and only then did he have some self-esteem.
"The man's inherent ambition, since he entered here, he should have thought that one day he would be humiliated by a thousand husbands, but your life was bought by me, so I will follow my surname, Lian's family, single name, a 'loyalty' word, Lian Zhong, I believe in you, so, don't let me down."
She stood with her hands in her hands, and her expression was rarely strict.
After hearing this, Lian Zhong straightened his back and said in a deep voice: "Yes, if one day Lian Zhong has two hearts, he will let Gongzi end my life with his own hands." ”
Lian Qingcheng listened lightly and did not speak, and after a moment of silence, he turned to Feng Gui and said, "You wait here first."
Feng Gui knew that she was not called the 'Fourth Prince' to hide his identity in front of Lian Zhong, nodded and watched her take Shui Lingyu downstairs.
Liu Wuyong had never seen Lian Qingcheng before, and at this time he saw a jade-faced child walking up the stairs, who was very beautiful than the women around him.
"This little brother is very handsome, I don't know how tender I am compared to those male pets in my house, come, let the uncle touch it."
"Liu Gongzi is really a bad taste, the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion is too smelly, and my son is afraid of dirtying his clothes."
Lian Qingcheng slapped one of his hands away, flashed sideways, and the person had arrived in the middle of the lobby.
One sentence even made the buyers present laugh, Liu Wuyong has not been notorious for a day or two, which of these people has not suffered his loss, but he is afraid of the identity of the prime minister's son, and he only dares to be angry and dare not speak, and now someone has come forward to embarrass him in public, and they are happy to watch a good show.
And only one of those slaves laughed, and even Qingcheng followed the sound to see a fair-faced man with a mouthful of white teeth, and when he saw someone looking at him, he was still grinning carelessly.
"Don't toast and don't eat and drink, the queen is my aunt, I am the emperor's nephew, if you want anyone, you can't ask for anyone, it's the palace maid, as long as I look at it, the emperor will also reward me, provoke the uncle, I will let you not get out of this gate today!"
Liu Wuyong snorted and motioned to the little guy next to him to round up Lian Qingcheng.
"Useless stuff".
She snorted lightly, and coldly watched Shui Lingyu raise her foot and kick a small guy away.
But in the blink of an eye, those people lay on the ground, and even Liu Wuyong's face was colored, seeing that Shui Lingyu's martial arts were extraordinary, he covered his face in a panic and ran away.
Without obstacles, Qingcheng can finally pick his own people with peace of mind.
She walked up to the man who was sneering, and asked with a flash of eyebrows: "Laughing Liu Wuyong, aren't you afraid that he will trouble you?" ”
"Is there anything more troublesome for me than my current situation?"
The man smiled indifferently, with a maturity that didn't belong to his age.
"Interesting".
She nodded her head, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly opened his eyes wide and fell to the ground and kept twitching, even Qingcheng couldn't react a little, a tall man hurriedly squatted down and hugged him, and shouted anxiously: "Brother, how are you?" ”
It turns out that the two are brothers, but they are not different at all.
She understood the situation, and then squatted down, and just reached out to see his condition, but was grabbed by the man's palm.
"What are you doing!"
She paused for a moment, smiled and said, "If you don't want him to have anything to do, just let me go." ”
Being able to see your own movements clearly while caring for the patient, and being able to see your own movements so quickly is not exactly the person you are looking for.
Today's trip was not in vain.
The man was stunned, silently let go of his hand, and looked at Lian Qingcheng with a nervous expression.
"It's okay, it's just that an old illness has flareed up suddenly."
She withdrew her hand and stood up, and said to Shui Lingyu, "Take them upstairs." ”
There are already three people, and she silently calculates in her heart that there is still one missing.
After a pause, she walked up to the girls who had just been taken a look at by Liu Wuyong, looked around, and said lightly: "Among you, whoever dares to take off his clothes in public, I will buy him." ”
The girls looked left and right, but they didn't come forward, they were slaves, but they were forced to enter here, and finally had their own dignity, besides, this boy was so arrogant, who knows what will happen if he is bought.
After half a cup of tea, a woman with messy hair walked out slowly, took off her clothes one by one with calm eyes, and when only ** was left, her hand suddenly stopped, looked back at the girls behind her, and those buyers who were already obsessed, when her eyes touched Lian Qingcheng's sight, she pursed her lips tightly, bit her teeth, and finally took off the only remaining covering.
"Boss, this woman, I want it."
