Jiulian Fortress, located in the southeast of Liaodong, is the closest city to Goryeo, and is only separated from Goryeo's Uiju by the Yalu River.

As the New Year approaches, the city of Jiulian is particularly lively. In particular, most of the merchants who traveled between Dazhou and Goryeo chose to spend this Spring Festival in Jiulian City because of the heavy snow and road closures, and Wang Huayong, a merchant from Jinzhou Prefecture, was one of them.

On this day, Wang Hua walked out of the inn early in the morning as usual, wanting to go to the market to see if there were any better New Year's goods.

When you arrive at the bazaar, you immediately hear the sound of boiling, and all kinds of local goods are placed on the stalls for the guests to choose.

Wang Huayong turned around left and right, and saw that there was no New Year's goods in his photo, so he shook his head in disappointment and was about to leave.

I don't want to be at this time a thin middle-aged man walked over, and the thin man was wearing a glazed white silk robe, which looked a little nondescript.

"This brother, I don't think you look like a local, right?" The thin man stared at Wang Huayong for a long time, and when he saw that he was wearing silk and satin, and his appearance was still very unfamiliar, he guessed that this was a merchant from other places, so he stepped forward and asked.

It is said that you can't have the heart of harming people, and you can't have the heart of guarding against people, but as a businessman, although you must be vigilant when you go out, you can make some contacts.

Therefore, seeing the thin man asking himself, Wang Huayong nodded his head lightly and replied: "In the lower Jinzhou Mansion, I don't know what Brother Tai has to say?" ”

"Don't dare to be taught!" The thin man chuckled lightly and said, "I've only been observing Brother Tai for a long time, and when I saw Brother Tai looking at the goods in the bazaar, I don't know if I was not very satisfied with these?" ”

"Naturally!" Wang Huayong replied: "I originally wanted to prepare some fresh things, but I didn't want to find something satisfactory all the time, so I was a little disappointed." ”

Hearing this, the thin man smiled: "That's Brother Tai, you didn't find the right place, I have a lot of new things here, I wonder if Brother Tai is interested in going with me to see it?" ”

"Oh?" Wang Hua glanced at the thin man in surprise for a few moments, and then nodded and said, "Then go and see?" ”

"Brother, please!"

"Please!" Wang Huayong made a gesture of please, and walked directly to the outside of the market with the thin man.

Although the thin man's behavior was a little weird, in broad daylight, Wang Huayong was not worried that he would be pitted, so he boldly followed him.

After a period of travel, the thin man guided Wang Hua into a secluded alley.

Seeing that there was no trace of a figure around, Wang Hua subconsciously slowed down his pace, and began to look around carefully, as long as he found that something was wrong, he would immediately turn around and run.

The thin man glanced back at Wang Huayong, and when he saw that Wang Huayong was a little hesitant at his feet, he said, "Brother Tai, don't worry, I'm not a strong man." ”

Perhaps because he felt that Wang Huayong would not believe his words, he shook his head with a noncommittal smile and stopped in front of a courtyard.

"Brother, the place has arrived!" The thin man turned around and said to Wang Huayong, and then stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door a few times.

After a while, the courtyard door was opened from the inside, and a strong man in his thirties came out.

Seeing the thin man, the middle-aged man asked, "But you brought back the guests?" ”

"Of course!" The thin man chuckled, turned his head and pointed to Wang Huayong, who was more than ten steps away from him, and said, "This is a distinguished guest from Jinzhou, you must come out with the best goods in a while, don't fool around." ”

"Don't worry, a certain house here is all the best goods!"

Wang Huayong, who was in the back, naturally heard the conversation between the two, and saw that he was really going to sell the goods to himself, Wang Hua finally let go of a little with his hanging heart, so he stepped forward and nodded to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man didn't say anything, and walked directly into the courtyard with Wang Huayong, and said as he walked: "The value of the goods we have here varies, there are more than ten taels of silver a piece, there are twenty or thirty taels of silver a piece, and of course there are fifty or one or two hundred taels of silver, I don't know what price of goods do you want?" ”

Wang Huayong said: "I don't even know what kind of goods you want to sell, how can this compare?" ”

"You'll find out right away!" The middle-aged man chuckled, then pushed open a door and led Wang Huayong into the room, "This guest, please be inside, the goods are inside." ”

"Good!" Wang Huayong followed the middle-aged man into the room, looked around, and saw that he didn't see anything else except for a few women huddled together in the corner, so he looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.

The middle-aged man pointed to the women who were huddled in the corner and said, "Guest, this is the goods we are selling!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Wang Hua was shocked. You must know that it is illegal to buy and sell human beings in Da Zhou.

As if he had seen Wang Huayong's thoughts, the middle-aged man explained with a smile: "Don't worry, guest, these women are not our Han Chinese, they were all bought from Goryeo, so even according to the laws of the Great Zhou, our transaction is not illegal." ”

"Really?" Wang Huayong was a little unconvinced.

"Don't believe it!" The middle-aged man walked directly to the corner, pulled one of the women to Wang Huayong's side, pinched the woman's face and said to Wang Huayong: "Guest, look, is this woman's appearance a little different from our Han women?" ”

Wang Huayong looked at the woman carefully, and saw that there was indeed some difference between her eyebrows and the Han woman, so he nodded lightly.

"Look at this woman's figure and legs!" As he spoke, the middle-aged man directly measured the clothes on the woman's body, as if weighing a commodity, pointed to the woman's figure and legs and said, "This woman is different from our Han women in terms of figure and legs." ”

Following the middle-aged man's fingers, Wang Hua glanced at the woman's figure, then carefully looked at the woman's legs, and nodded seriously.

The living habits of the Korean people are somewhat similar to those of Fuso, and they mainly sit and lie on knees on weekdays, so it inevitably affects the shape of the legs.

Through this, Wang Huayong was sure that this woman must be a Korean.

If this is not for sure, when the middle-aged man violently tore the woman's clothes, the screams from the woman's mouth were shouted in Goryeo, which made Wang Hua more sure of the woman's identity.

Nodding at the middle-aged man, Wang Huayong walked out of the room.

When the middle-aged man saw it, he didn't care that the woman was naked, and directly pushed the woman into the corner, so he walked out of the room and asked Wang Huayong: "Can the guests be satisfied with the goods below?" ”

Wang Huayong was silent for a moment and said: "I'm also used to going south and north, looking at the woman just now, it doesn't seem to be an original product, right?" ”

The middle-aged man chuckled lightly and said, "The original goods are naturally available, but is this price?" ”

"The price is not a problem, as long as it satisfies me!" Wang Hua used wealth to be rude.

"Then you're coming with you, guest!" Seeing Wang Huayong say this, the middle-aged man was excited, because a customer like Wang Hua's tone was determined, the middle-aged man hadn't met it for a long time, in the middle-aged man's opinion, Wang Huayong must be a wealthy person, otherwise the tone would not be so determined......
