Chapter 683: Buying a Servant

Lang Wuxu said the place, in Sanyuanfang, Luo'an capital city crisscrossing the country, the city has a fang, there is a city, the largest commercial market, just in Sanyuanfang, Sanyuanfang shops are like clouds, dazzling, although the day is busy with traffic, when the lights are on, but it is another lively, the night market of Sanyuanfang, in the capital that is also a scene.

Sanyuanfang has the door of Wu Jingwei, in the capital is densely packed with Wujing Wei Department door, Sanyuan Department has the most manpower, and the oil and water is also the most abundant, but the security here, but it is also the most strict, because Sanyuanfang has the largest flow of people, there are many people from the south to the north, up to the dignitaries and noblewomen, down to the dawn of the people, are like to visit the market in Sanyuanfang, the characters of the three hundred and sixty-nine streams gather here, the fish and dragons are mixed, if there is no strict supervision, there will be riots at any time.

Sitting in this position, although he racked his brains to get more money, he didn't dare to relax his inspection, after all, there were many people staring at this position, and if there was a slight mistake, it was very likely that he would be knocked down.

Chu Huan and Lang Wuxu took advantage of the carriage to Sanyuanfang, the place Lang Wuxu said was called the Rebirth Hall, which was a place dedicated to selling slaves, although Lang Wuxu only knew such a name, but when he arrived at Sanyuanfang, the coachman inquired a little and knew the specific location, this Rebirth Hall is in Sanyuanfang, but it is also a famous place.

Chu Huan also knew for a long time that whether it was in the capital or in the locality, there would be a place dedicated to selling slaves, and the origin of those slaves was quite complicated, some of them were bought from poor families at a very low price, and then resold with a lot of money, and some of them owed a large amount of debt and could not be repaid, and they were reduced to being bought and sold.

However, the most common sources are mainly prisoners of war and prisoners.

When the empire was first founded, a large number of prisoners of war were bought and sold arbitrarily, and after that, the empire gradually became peaceful, and there were fewer wars, and there were fewer prisoners of war, and there were occasional sporadic rebellions in various parts of the empire, and those prisoners of war were also transferred to the trading market, in addition to prisoners of war who were transported back from the border gates.

In comparison, there are more criminals.

The so-called criminals do not mean that all slaves are sinners themselves, most of them are implicated, and if an official or a wealthy family is raided for their crimes, many of their family members will become slaves to be bought and sold, and the slaves they own will also be transferred to the market to be bought and sold again.

This is a common thing in the Empire, and there will be such a place in any city.

There are naturally not a few places in the capital that specialize in selling slaves like this, and almost every urban area has such a business, but the quality of Sanyuanfang is naturally the highest.

The Rebirth Hall is one of them.

Rebirth Hall may not be the largest business name for selling slaves in Sanyuanfang, but the reputation in Sanyuanfang is indeed not small, and the reason is very simple, just because in Rebirth Hall, it is always easy to pick a satisfactory slave, in addition, in Rebirth Hall, not only can you buy the original people, but also occasionally buy some Western Liang people, barbarians, Koreans and even people from the Western Regions, and their prices are fair, the owner of the Rebirth Hall Hu Les is said to have ancestors from the Western Regions who came to the original Western Regions to do business, although several generations have passed, But Huls still has the genes of the people of the Western Regions, and his appearance looks like the original at first glance, but if you look closely, it is very different from the original person.

Huls's skin is slightly pale, his tall stature, and the bridge of his nose is also very high, but what makes people remember is that he has extremely short curly hair, which is very rare in the original.

The major slave dealers, there will be a fixed three days a month, will be the hands of the worse goods gathered in the open place, under the banner of discounts, to attract people to buy, and really good goods, in the open air sales of those days but to stay in the number, people who are really familiar with this line know that want to buy good slaves, the most direct way, or door-to-door selection.

After Chu Huan and Lang Wuxu were welcomed into the Rebirth Hall, the tall and curly-haired Huls soon came over, although he still had the blood of the Western Regions, but his conversation was completely original, and he smiled and said: "The two masters are here, and they are shining." I don't know what kind of slaves the two masters need? Is it a strong man who guards the nursing home, or a maid who serves daily life and food? As long as you ask, this number will meet your needs. ”

The signature merchant smile on Hu Les' face, although Chu Huan and the others knew that every guest who stepped into the Rebirth Hall could enjoy such a smile, but they had to admit that the smile on Hu Les's face was still very comfortable to look at.

Lang Wuxu coughed twice, and then smiled at Chu Huan: "Brother Xian, I see that there are a lot of subordinates in your house, and the living and eating of this gatekeeper's house, whether it is a male servant or a maid, there is a deficiency, this time I will pick some more, and I will bear all the expenses." ”

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled: "Brother is polite, this bit of silver, the younger brother can still take it." "The two of them are dressed in civilian clothes, so naturally it is not good to call each other adults.

Hules smiled: "But I don't know if the two of you are waiting here, I will go and bring people to the yard, or will the two of you go directly to the backyard to pick people?" ”

Lang Wuxu smiled at Chu Huan and asked, "What does the virtuous brother mean?" ”

"It's okay to go and see it!" Chu Huan got up and said, "Please lead the way!" ”

Huls immediately made a gesture and personally led the two to the backyard, and along the way, he saw a burly man in blue clothes appearing from time to time, his eyes were full of vigilance.

The backyard of the Rebirth Hall covers an extremely wide area, and the courtyard wall is very tall, and when you enter the courtyard, you can see a few rows of houses, and there are more than a dozen men in blue clothes carrying copper sticks in their hands, patrolling back and forth, and the garrison is very strict.

Huls took the two of them to the front of a house, and said with a smile: "In this row of houses, there are all maids, and the two uncles must not know much about us here, whether it is a maid or a male servant in my rebirth hall, they are all clever and well-behaved, and when we buy people over, they are also carefully selected." He looked at Chu Huan and Lang Wuxuan for a few moments, and said with a smile: "The two of them are not ordinary people at first glance, but I don't know which mansion the two of them are from?" ”

Chu Huan put his hands behind his back and asked, "This is very important?" ”

"Not really." Hu Les smiled: "It's just that there is a rule in the Rebirth Hall, if it is the official master who comes to choose to buy slaves, we will give some discounts here." ”

"Oh?" Lang Wuxu asked, "Why is this?" ”

Hu Les laughed and said: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, if we do business, we always need more help from the officials, if there are officials who can go to the contempt to choose and buy slaves, it is the glory of my Rebirth Hall, and it is naturally a discount of one or two." ”

Lang Wuxuan said: "I heard that some businesses see that officials buy people, but they think that the officials are rich people, and they ask for a price, Huls, you should also have this thought, right?" ”

Huls immediately said: "I will never dare to do this, the two masters inquired, and they will know that Huls has never deceived you." While speaking, he had already led the two of them to the row of houses, and Chu Huan saw that these houses were all made of iron doors, like cages, and through the iron doors, the scene inside could be seen clearly.

At this time, a man in blue clothes shouted loudly, "The master is here, stand up for me!" ”

After Chu Huan observed the iron gate, he also cleaned up, and there were four or five people in each room, all of whom were already lined up at this time, waiting to be selected.

The women inside, some big and some small, the younger ones were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the older ones were in their early thirties, when Chu Huan and the others walked in front of the iron gate, the women inside all looked at the outside with an expectant gaze, and the meaning expressed in that look was very clear, that is, they hoped that someone would buy them.

Chu Huandao can understand the mood of these people.

Locked in a cage, like a raised beast, full of despair, for them, the only way out, naturally, is to be able to be bought out of here, although it is not a good thing to be a slave, but it is always better than staying here.

Chu Huan is actually not very interested in buying slaves, but today Lang is not in vain, and along the way, he emphasized several times that Chu Huan is now the right servant of the household, and he is an important minister of the empire, since he is an important minister of the empire, he must also maintain the face of a high-ranking official, which is not only Chu Huan's personal face, but also related to the face of the empire.

If there are not even a few decent servants in the huge mansion, it is really unreasonable, and he will even be looked down upon by his colleagues.

Chu Huan naturally disagrees with the use of domestic servants to fill his face, but he seems to be a maverick in the officialdom, but it is not Chu Huan who wants to see it, he only hopes that on the bright side, he is a member of the hundred officials, he will not be conspicuous, and he will not become the focus of attention.

Chu Huan is not a world homogeneist, but when he saw that the people inside were like goods to be picked and bought, his heart was still a little gloomy, and after walking for a while, Hu Les knew that today's buyer was Chu Huan, but when he saw Chu Huan's indifferent expression, he didn't seem to show a very interested look, but he was a little surprised.

In fact, many guests came here, seeing a large group of slaves to choose from, they were all very excited, Hu Les added oil and vinegar to the side and boasted a few words, often allowing the guests to buy a few more people, but Chu Huan did not speak and was expressionless, Hu Les couldn't figure out Chu Huan's mind for a while, and when he came to the end, he saw a lot of people, Chu Huan never spoke, Hu Les couldn't help asking: "Can the two masters be intentional slaves?" These women, they are very obedient, they buy them back, whatever they are asked to do, they will obey the command, and they will not dare to disobey, if Huls tells a lie, you send people back, and I will compensate you ten times the silver. After a pause, he said softly: "Two, don't think that they are just women, there are many noble wives in this room." Pointing to a woman in her early thirties behind the iron gate, he said, "This woman used to be an official wife, you see, she is still thin skin and tender meat, but we have trained her to do anything...... Coming closer, he smiled: "Now she can be regarded as being able to go down to the kitchen during the day, and can enter the cave room at night, the two uncles take a good look, the skin is fair, the chest and the ass, round and jade, don't look at the age, but the taste is really good, and can work, think about the former official wife reduced to a domestic servant to listen to the dispatch at will, this is not something anyone can encounter, this is still fresh goods, not long after coming, there are a few have already taken a fancy to it, if the two don't make a move today, the next time they come, they will definitely be bought ......!" ”

Chu Huan took a look, the woman was really plump and attractive, and her eyes were the same as other women, full of desire to be bought, although she was reduced to a slave, but she really retained the temperament of a noble lady who used to be a noblewoman, with fine skin and tender meat, plump and fair, with a bit of mature and attractive style, it seems that this Hurs is not nonsense, this woman may really be the family of the convicted official.

Lang Wuxu's eyes were looking up and down on the woman's body at this time, touching her beard, her eyes were shining, the woman first looked at Chu Huan, saw Chu Huan's face was calm, and didn't seem to have much interest in her, and then saw Lang Wuxu's eyes moving on his plump body, and immediately straightened his chest, and the placket on his chest suddenly propped up. rose up, with a bit of charm between his eyebrows, and looked at Lang Wuxuan directly.

Lang Wuxuan saw that the woman's eyes were hooked, with a little swaying between her eyebrows and eyes, and her heart was even more heartbeat, but he didn't know that the woman also saw the two of them dressed in brocade, and at first glance they were rich and noble, although she used to be the wife of an official, but after becoming a cheap slave, she still wanted to maintain her dignity at first, but the training of the Rebirth Hall had made her dignity gone, and her life here was not easy, and she just wanted to find a buyer as soon as possible and leave this big cage as soon as possible.

Lang Wu is humble, but he is making a serious appearance outside, today it is Chu Huan who buys a servant, although he has already looked at the woman, but he is also embarrassed to buy it in a hurry at this time, he looked at Chu Huan with a smile and asked, "How does the virtuous brother think of her?" I saw that she was still strong, and she looked like a good person. ”

"Exactly." Huls said with a smile: "If the two uncles look at it, I will call her out, negotiate the price, and sign the deed of sale." He said to the woman, "Turn around and let the two masters take a good look." ”

The woman took two steps forward, behind the iron gate, smiled at Lang Wuxu, and slowly turned around, Lang Wuxu saw that she had fat breasts. buttocks, even more satisfied.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a strange scream, although there were many people in this courtyard, but it was very quiet, this strange cry was very abrupt, it seemed to be not far away, Chu Huan was puzzled, and he heard the strange scream sounding continuously, and he had already seen Hu Les frowning, and his eyes showed a cold look.
