177. Slave Market
Luo Chen sat on the sofa, put the fat rat on his lap, and said while caressing, "I think you know a little bit about my current situation, I was ambushed on the way here, and the attendants were wiped out in order to cover me, so now I don't even have a usable person under my hands." More good"
Raymond took the tea set brought by the waiter, poured a cup of tea for Luo Chen himself, and said, "The guest wants to recruit some good guards?" ”
Recruiting guards is not a simple matter, the nobles have their own guard reserves, once there is a vacancy, they will pick people from the trained guards to fill it, so they will basically not choose new people outside, after all, the job of the guards is to protect the safety of the master, and the nobles regard their lives more important than anything else, of course, they will not hand over their lives to some unclear people.
But this guest has to be re-selected, whether he can't wait for the family to send someone over, or
Luo Chen, who had been observing Raymond, noticed a trace of inquiry from him, and his heart couldn't help jumping, where did this sentence attract suspicion and exploration?
Of course, she needs some subordinates to save face in order to play this nobleman well, so it is the best way to fill the vacancy around her immediately, and it can also express the nobleman's disregard for the lives of servants and commoners to the fullest, so it arouses suspicion or something, shouldn't it?
Luo Chen frowned, carefully remembering which sentence went wrong.
But Raymond realized that he had said the wrong thing after seeing Luo Chen frowning, and hurriedly said, "Look at my brain, I forgot, of course the attendant is waiting for your home to send over, do you want to buy some guards, I have a boss I know, I called him to talk to you?" ”
Luo Chen raised her eyebrows, it seemed that she had already got the answer without her effort, but it was estimated that she would be sent to guard or something again, because she didn't plan to take the initiative to contact that side, and if she couldn't hear from her for a long time, she would naturally take the initiative to contact her, but at that time, she didn't know what year it was, and she was really very satisfied with this era of underdeveloped communications.
Luo Chen raised his chin lightly and said reservedly, "You don't need to call over, just choose someone to lead the way, I haven't been to this kind of place when I was at home, so I'm a little curious, and I want to pick it myself, but you'd better find a clean seller, I don't want to disturb the nature of my selection because of the smell." ”
Raymond shook his head amusefully in his heart, sure enough, he was still a child, and at home, where would such a big child be allowed to go to the land of human trafficking.
Raymond stood up and bowed, "Do as you ask." ”
After finishing speaking, he left the room, but after a while, an honest-looking waiter came to Luo Chen and said, "Young Master, the servant was called by Mr. Raymond to guide you. ”
Luo Chen got up and picked up the fat rat casually, the summer weather and the thick fur in her arms, if she had replaced her previous body, it was estimated that she would have suffered from heat stroke.
Of course, even if she has a good physique now, she doesn't want to hold it, but this dead fat ball is not waiting for others at all, and she doesn't want to let it hang on her lap anymore, so she has to pick it up.
"Let's go." After speaking, he took the lead and walked out.
Luo Chen and his party walked on the side of the wide street, and the eyes of the people passing by were no longer curious and pointing, but bowed in awe to make way.
And Luo Chen's behavior at the moment is also unrelated to the aristocracy, and no one will guess that she is just a copycat.
Under the slightly apologetic guidance of the waiter, Luo Chen and his party walked through the market with a somewhat messy smell and came to a building like a gymnasium.
"Guest, this is a slave market, and the boss is in the sixth room." The waiter raised his hand to signal Luo Chen.
Luo Chen followed his guidance, twitched his nose slightly, and asked suspiciously, "This place is not the same as I imagined. ”
In her impression, the slave market should be the kind of dirty and messy, the air is not to say fresh, and it is good to be able to breathe normally, but it is not like here, although it is not as good as the outside, but there is no such suffocating smell, and the air even has a faint fragrance because of the blooming of a few pots of flowers.
The waiter smiled and said, "If it is too dirty, it will also affect the mood of customers, so the slave market here will be cleaned frequently, and the slaves who come here to sell are all high-quality goods carefully selected by the bosses." ”
Luo Chen nodded lightly and asked, "So there is another slave market?" ”
"The guest is right, there is indeed another slave market, but the audience is different, and it is dirtier than this one." The waiter answered all questions again, looking honest and knowing everything.
After hearing this, Luo Chen raised his head and motioned for the waiter to lead the way.
She guessed that the slave market on the other side was not only a matter of audience, but also the source of those slaves.
"Young master, look at me, I just came of age this year, I eat less and do more, you mean that the east servant will never go west."
A thin young man came to Luo Chen, nodded and bowed, his eyes full of flattery.
"Young master, young master, the servant is twelve years old, and he fled with his family and came here, you reward me for my stuttering, let me do anything."
The little girl with two braids knelt in front of Luo Chen with a pop, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
"Young Master, Servant"
"Young Master, look at the servant"
“”
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! I don't have the eyesight to see it! Didn't you see that the young master was going to the front! ”
The waiter stretched out his hand to push away the slaves who surrounded him, and the guards who had been following Luo Chen since entering the city drew their long swords and blocked them in front of Luo Chen.
The sharp blade of the sword flashed with a cold cold light, forcing the crowd around to disperse.
"This?"
Luo Chen looked at the people who came over a little confused, this is the slave market, how can there be slaves who come forward to recommend themselves, shouldn't they all stay by the slave owner's side and wait for others to choose?
"Don't pity them, guests, these people are all picked out and can't be sold, and they have been kept in the hands of their respective bosses for almost a year, and if they don't sell themselves, their bosses will have to kick them out.
Or some people who made mistakes and were driven back, all because you were young and easy to deceive, hoping to win your sympathy so that they could be bought back.
It is recommended that you do not buy this kind of one, because there are some problems of their own, so they are still here and have not been sold. ”
Luo Chen nodded clearly, the slave owner is not a philanthropist, there is no reason to provide food and drink to these people all the time, and if they can't increase their income, who will keep these dry food.
But in her mind at the moment, a picture suddenly appeared, a bunch of goods jumping around on the shelves, shouting "buy me~buy me~".
It's so picturesque, she almost laughs.
