Volume 1 Don't Look Back Chapter 29 The Slave Trade

After being full of wine and food, Qin Chuan touched his round belly, burped, and looked intoxicated, thinking that it felt good to be full. Just as I was thinking of calling the guy to bring him a few more cakes to take away, I heard a commotion outside, and then I saw the middle-aged fat man running outside, and then the guy also ran out.

Qin Chuan watched the two of them leave the restaurant with some curiosity, thought about it, and took out all the iron money in the package and put it on the desk. There is no free lunch in the world, even if the owner of the store invites him to eat, but Qin Chuan still thinks that paying for meals is a matter of course.

Putting the remaining half of the cake on the table into his arms, Qin Chuan walked out of the restaurant. When I walked out of the restaurant, I saw a group of people not far away surrounding a large cart, on which a group of ragged men, women and women were tied with ropes, and even a few children. I heard a man in gorgeous clothes shouting loudly: "The most beautiful woman, the strongest man, sold cheaply, all captured by the Nanban tribe, and some of them paid money and took them away." ”

It turned out to be human trafficking, Qin Chuan stood in the distance and watched quietly, he didn't see much such things, but he knew some such things after all.

Human trafficking is common in every country, and in some large countries in the East, there are even human markets that specialize in selling people. It was a lucrative business, and it was not uncommon for merchants to obtain women or strong men from small tribes by various means and sell them to other places as slaves. There were even merchants who had access to the army who bought prisoners directly from the army and sold them directly. In order to earn high profits.

Qin is still martial, many men were conscripted into the army before they got married, and some of the old, weak, sick and disabled who retired from the army, if some strength got some rewards, they would buy a mother-in-law from these human trafficking merchants, and they just asked for a succession.

The main patrons of these merchants in the Qin State were generally wealthy and powerful nobles. It is rarely seen in the market, and every time it happens, it will attract crowds of onlookers, and even cause a crazy robbery. But this situation is very unique.

This time, the traffickers encountered a very special situation. When he dragged a cart of slaves to the Qin State, he found that his employer was seriously injured, almost to the point of dying, how could he touch the other party's mold in this situation, so he thought about selling this cart of slaves to other nobles, but after the other nobles learned the identity of their previous employers, they avoided this cart of slaves, and even drove him out of the mansion directly.

The merchant is a patriot, the ancestor was a Yin Shang noble, but the family is in the middle, relying on a trace of the ancestors, only to take over this single transaction from a big businessman, I wanted to rely on this transaction to accumulate some capital, who would have thought that but encountered such a thing, if it were not so, he would never pull this cart of slaves to sell everywhere.

The merchant walked up to a male slave, patted the man's arm, and said with a smile: "Look at it, this male slave is tall and strong, not only has great strength, but also eats a lot, and if you buy it back, you can not only take care of the family, but also pull a plow to plow the land, which is comparable to an old cow." Then he walked up to a woman, twisted the woman's face, and said in a loud voice: "Knock on the skin of this slave girl, she is almost out of the water, not only can she read and write, but she can also work, and most importantly, she can also accompany the bed to give birth to cubs." ”

"How much money do men have, how much money do women have?" A man dressed inappropriately stood out from the crowd, but his eyes looked directly at the woman just now.

"Good eyesight, this slave girl is the most beautiful one in this car, originally she couldn't buy it without two hundred gold in other countries, but today she sold it at a loss, and she can take it away with only one hundred gold." The merchant looked at the man and said with a twinkle in his eyes.

The man was still a little moved, but when he heard the price of one hundred gold, he hesitated slightly, although his family was well-off, but spending one hundred gold to buy a female slave was still a bit of a loser for him.

Seeing the hesitation in the man's eyes, the merchant suddenly understood the man's thoughts, so he continued to persuade: "I have already lost money at the price of one hundred gold, if you really want it, if you see that female baby, I will give it to you, don't look at it dirty now, wait for two years to grow up, it is definitely a goblin who makes you not want to get out of bed." ”

The merchant's words were very seductive, and the man's eyes glanced at a small and two slaves, and he was about to open his mouth to buy them.

Just as the man was about to say yes, a young man's voice came from behind the crowd, "No one is allowed to buy it, I want this cart of slaves." ”

The crowd parted, and between them was a thin young man dressed in black, accompanied by two escorts, who walked up to the merchant.

"I've already bought these two slaves." The man next to him hurriedly said aloud.

The young man ignored the man, just looked at the merchant and said calmly, "Make an offer." ”

A short answer, but it reveals a trace of momentum that cannot be objected to.

"You..." As soon as the man wanted to speak, he saw the guard's unkind eyes, and someone next to him pulled the man's clothes and reminded him in a low voice: "The son of the Gan family, you can't afford to provoke him." ”

When the man heard this, he hurriedly apologized, and said in a respectful voice: "I don't know if it's Gan Gongzi, I'm offended, so I'll retire." After saying that, he quickly walked backwards and left here.

The boy didn't speak, still looking at the merchant in front of him.

The businessman naturally doesn't care who Gan Gongzi is, what power he has, seeing that someone wants to buy the whole car, his eyes rolled, and his face suddenly piled up with a smile, and he said in a low voice: "Since Gan Gongzi wants to buy the whole car, I will save some expenses, if Gongzi pays 3,000 gold, I will sell the whole car of slaves to Gongzi." ”

Hearing the price of 3,000 gold, the young man did not speak, but the people around him suddenly began to whisper and scold the merchant for not being authentic, the slaves of the whole car are not even counted as children, according to the price just now, the price of buying is about 1,000 gold, and now the merchant is sitting on the ground and the price is 3,000 gold, which makes the surrounding spectators how to not scold a profiteer.

Looking at the merchant's smiling eyes, the young man frowned, he was not stupid, he naturally knew the merchant's price on the ground, and he only needed to repay the money on the spot.

"Two thousand gold." The boy said a number.

"Two thousand eight hundred gold. Gan Gongzi understands, it is not easy for my little businessman to come from afar, and you look at the quality of this car of slaves, it is definitely one in a hundred, two thousand eight hundred gold, and it has already lost money to my grandmother's house. The merchant said with a look of embarrassment.

"Two thousand gold..."The young man's face was calm, and he still did not change his original intention.

"Two thousand five hundred gold, no less, if you go back any less, you will be scolded to death by my mother-in-law." The merchant was crying and was about to cry.

The young man frowned, and his heart was also irritable, two thousand five hundred gold was the accumulation of the Gan family in Chen Cangcheng for several years, and he was a little unwilling to exchange these accumulations for a cart of slaves, two thousand gold was the highest price he paid, he understood that the merchant was just testing himself, and he would compromise after a while.

When the merchant saw the young man's hesitation, he was overjoyed, and still said quietly: "Master Gan, do you know that there was a person named Baili Xi in the Qin State hundreds of years ago?" At that time, he assisted the Duke of Qin to sit on the throne of the overlord. ”

"The people of the Qin State know everything." The boy returned to the road.

"Did you ever think that if there was a man like Baili Xi in this cart of slaves, then ......," said the merchant with a sense of concern.

Hearing this, the young man immediately let go of his worries, and just as the merchant was full of joy and waiting for the young man surnamed Gan to agree, another young man's voice came from the side.

"Two thousand five hundred gold, I bought it."

Hearing this voice, everyone looked behind them in unison, only to see a young man dressed in sackcloth and carrying two swords walking out from behind the crowd.

The person who came was naturally Qin Chuan, who was originally just watching the excitement behind the crowd, but after learning that the young man's surname was Gan, he inquired from the crowd next to him and learned that it was indeed a person from Ganfu. I was suddenly overjoyed in my heart, I really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. Even if you don't buy it, you can make the other party bleed, and you can calculate the evil breath in your heart.

When the merchant heard that someone wanted to buy it again, his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and if someone bid, he had a way to raise the price, and at this time he was already thinking about how much oil and water had been blown up on this young man Gan Gongzi. Why not Qin Chuan, because with his keen eye, he felt that Qin Chuan was here to stir up the situation, the most important thing for a businessman is vision, and he thinks that his vision is still good.

"Boy, don't make trouble, have you seen what gold looks like?"

"Get out, go home and breastfeed, the hair is not full, so I will come to make a fool of myself."

"Who's kid, rushed to make trouble for Gan Gongzi, I really don't want to live..."

......

Ignoring the accusations of the people around him, Qin Chuan walked in front of the young man surnamed Gan step by step.

The two stood together, Qin Chuan was slightly shorter, so he raised his head to look at the young man, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he said softly: "Yongcheng, Qin Chuan." ”

"Gan family, Gan Mo sorrow." The young man still said his name without showing his face.

Two guards stepped forward, but were blocked by Gan Mochou.

"Do you have the money to bid with me?" Gan Mochou stared at Qin Chuan, as if he wanted to see his reality and reality.

"How can you afford to buy this wagon of slaves?" Qin Chuan looked up at Gan Mochou and asked rhetorically.

"Chen Cangcheng, Gan family, Gan Mochou." Gan Mochou said word by word.

The merchant also nodded, agreeing with Gan Mochou's statement.

Qin Chuan sneered and hooked his hand at the merchant.

The merchant followed Qin Chuan to the side for some reason, and there were few people. Then I saw Qin Chuan holding a black oval wooden plaque in his hand, with a black dragon engraved on the front of the wooden plaque, a Qin written in ancient characters below, and a car behind it.

Seeing this token, the businessman's face naturally changed, before setting off, he deliberately understood the military generals of the Qin State, and there was only one general surnamed Che, that was Che Ying, one of the generals of the Qin Army, and also a big red man in front of the Duke of Qin, and the relationship with Da Liangzao was irreversible, it stands to reason that such a token can be rampant in the Qin State, but the merchant hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"Unless you come up with another token, you still can't bid with Gan Gongzi." The merchant said with some embarrassment on his face.

In the Qin State, this token can be rampant, but it is a slave who can't change a car, and he doesn't dare to take this token to ask for money on the Qin army.

Listening to the businessman's words, Qin Chuan also frowned, and in his heart he hated to find a businessman who couldn't open his eyes, so why didn't he know how to cooperate.

After hesitating for a moment, he whispered something in the merchant's ear, and then exposed the corner of the long sword behind his back, and quickly wrapped it in strips of cloth.

The merchant just saw a dazzling red, and then looked at Qin Chuan's eyes and became hot.

He was a man of knowledge, even if he knew the value of the thing just by looking at it.

Then he turned around and said loudly to the people around him, "Qin Gongzi can participate in the bidding." ”

The people around him were shocked, and they didn't know what Qin Chuan had shown the merchant, which was worth thousands of gold, so the look in his eyes when he looked at Qin Chuan became different.

"I'll just say, that young man is not ordinary, how about this time, a few thousand gold deals, people will lose a few plates of meat money from us?" The middle-aged fat man hugged the guy next to him excitedly and said.

The guy hurriedly pushed the middle-aged fat man away, his face was a little red, and then he twisted the man's waist fiercely, and quickly retracted his hand.

The middle-aged man smiled stupidly, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and then glared at the two teenagers in the center of the crowd.

In the crowd, the two teenagers just looked at each other, neither of them spoke first, and the atmosphere instantly became subtle.
