Chapter 127: She's My Person 3
"Just right, I'm going to take you somewhere." After Xiao Zhan thought about it for a while, he bent down and picked up Qiao Sheng, strode out of the north wing with her, and helped her lock the door by the way.
"Where are we going?" Qiao Sheng subconsciously hugged the man's neck and asked.
"The auction house in town." Xiao Zhan looked at Qiao Sheng, "I'm going to help you buy a maid and come back." ”
Xiao Zhan thought that he would have to return to the imperial capital in the future, if Qiao Sheng's side did not have a reliable maid to take care of him, how could he rest assured.
He actually has suitable candidates around him, but once his person is exposed, it will inevitably bring trouble to Qiao Sheng.
In that case, it's better to go to the auction house and buy a maid back.
When Qiao Sheng heard this, his eyes moved slightly.
She naturally also knew that there were people in the town who secretly did human trafficking, this kind of thing was not a big deal in her current era, many young men and women gathered in the auction house for various reasons, and even auctioned themselves off, a deed of sale to sell themselves at a price, and from then on life and death were not up to them.
Qiao Sheng lived in the last days in her last life, she knows very well what the weak and the strong eat, and it is not uncommon for rich people to spend money to buy maids.
Moreover, this kind of buying and selling is all your willingness, and there is no forced reluctance, everyone is forced by life.
She had never thought of buying herself a maid before.
However, Lan Ji sent Cangqiong to lend her a summon this time, so that she also realized that it was a very convenient thing to have a capable person under her command.
Naturally, ability is only one aspect, and the most important thing for her to buy a maid is to see whether the other party is loyal.
"Okay, let's go." Qiao Sheng felt that Xiao Zhan's proposal was very good, so he nodded and agreed.
Xiao Zhan looked at the little girl in his arms, and his eyes flashed with relief.
He was still worried that Sheng Sheng would have the kindness of a woman, so he didn't dare to go with him.
Now it seems that he underestimated her.
Xiao Zhan hugged Qiao Sheng, and the two went to the auction house together.
Remnant Yu and Remnant Qi didn't dare to be careless, and cautiously followed behind the two.
Human trafficking in auction houses is not on the bright side, this kind of transaction is a gray transaction, so it is quietly carried out on a long street called Dark Street behind the auction house.
The moment you step into the long street, a burst of sweat mixed with the smell of dust comes to your face, and the air is filled with the sounds of selling and bargaining, and even the sighs of some traffickers.
However, all those who can be brought into the dark streets to sell have signed a deed of sale, and here these people cannot even be called people, but only a commodity.
Qiao Sheng didn't like the lifeless atmosphere here, she looked at the men and women around her who were auctioned, all of them wore heavy shackles on their ankles, and at a glance it was clear that these people were living a bad life on weekdays.
"Uncle, is there anyone who trafficks people like this in the imperial capital?" Qiao Sheng frowned and asked.
Human trafficking is a thing, the more rampant it is in small towns near the edge, after all, there is only the county lord here, and the general auction house spends money to find the county lord to dredge up, and often makes this kind of immoral business very large.
"Yes, it's just that this kind of unsightly work is often carried out in the shadows." Xiao Zhan was reluctant to deceive Qiao Sheng, there was no such auction in Dijingming, but the secret business was more rampant than that of Qingquan Town.
