Chapter 184: Fool
Human trafficking is not uncommon in the Holy Empire, even in the heavily guarded imperial capital. lwxs520|The government will turn a blind eye to this, after all, the source of servants of many powerful families is through such shady channels, even including many royal nobles.
First, the cost of buying the population is low, and second, these people tend to be more loyal, so the industry has always existed in the Holy Empire.
The famously chaotic city of Yanzhou is no exception, but human trafficking in the city is more blatant and rampant than most places in the outside world.
Jin An quickly inquired about the news, and then accompanied Chen Tianze into this magnificent store.
The store is divided into four floors, with the bottom floor being the most common human trafficking gathering place, where all kinds of people gather, surrounded by a whole row of cages, all women on the left and men of different sizes on the right. On the second floor were some places where prisoners of war were held, and ordinary rich and powerful people could naturally come and go at will.
As for the third and fourth floors, they are very different.
It is rumored that the third and fourth floors are all superb, and the ones sold are either handsome women from wealthy nobles, or handsome men who can write and martial arts. The fourth floor is an auction hall, once one or two peerless treasures appear in the store, they will be directly taken to the fourth floor for public auction, the principle is also extremely simple, there is enough silver!
After Chen Tianze and Jin An entered the store, they were not in a hurry to go upstairs, but now they wandered around the hall on the first floor for a while, during which Chen Tianze unexpectedly bought hundreds of men and fifty or sixty young women, and spent a full five thousand taels of silver, which made Jin An on the side speechless.
Because of this move, Chen Tianze immediately attracted the attention of the person in charge of the store, and even another middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper trotted over all the way to personally lead the way for Chen Tianze and explain various store matters.
Then, Chen Tianze proposed to go up to the fourth floor to have a look.
The housekeeper was a middle-aged fat man, and after seeing Chen Tianze buy so many people in one go, he was full of smiles. But when he heard that this wealthy guest proposed to go up to the fourth floor, the fat man was immediately startled, reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking embarrassed.
"What's the matter? Isn't this son qualified to go up to the fourth floor?" Chen Tianze patted the fat man's shoulder with a smile and wondered.
The fat man is also a shrewd master, seeing Chen Tianze's attitude like this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "There are a lot of Childe, but there are also rules above, no face is allowed to enter the fourth floor, Childe is also the first time to come, so ......"
Chen Tianze sighed, and said with a regretful face: "I heard that there is a superb female general in the Nanban today, and I am still a special mother, so my son hurriedly carried tens of thousands of taels of silver to join in the fun, and as a result, alas...... It's so disappointing. ”
Hearing this, the fat man was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said cautiously: "Childe, if you don't dislike it, you can wait for a while, and let Xiao go and report it." ”
Chen Tianze pretended to nod deeply, and the fat man trotted away.
"Are you sure there is no problem with the news?" After the fat man left, Chen Tianze wandered around and asked seemingly casually.
Jin An, who was standing behind Chen Tianze, nodded hurriedly and said, "Sure." The villain has been in this city for some time, and he knows some people who have a way, and the news he got from them is definitely a general of the Southern Barbarians. ”
Chen Tianze nodded with a smile and muttered, "Nanban." ”
There are many wars in Yanzhou, and the so-called war is an alliance composed of small Nanban countries in the south, which has been at war with the major counties in the north for decades, but Nanban is small and sparsely populated after all, so the war has been in a state of stalemate, regardless of victory or defeat, I never thought that there would be a female general here.
As expected, that person should be the person imprisoned in the cage that Chen Tianze saw outside the door before.
Just when Chen Tianze was thinking nonsense, the fat butler trotted all the way, with a smile on his face, and before he got closer, Chen Tianze already knew that the matter was done.
The fourth floor is not open to outsiders, as we all know. And since Chen Tianze was patronizing the store for the first time, he was naturally not qualified to go to the fourth floor, so Chen Tianze bought hundreds of people in one go, which was regarded as a stepping stone.
This does not mean that these more than 100 people are useless, on the contrary, these days will definitely become Chen Tianze's biggest help!
The fat man ran all the way to Chen Tianze's side, bowed down and said, "Childe, please come with the little one." ”
Chen Tianze nodded with a smile and took two steps before turning his head to Jin An and said, "You can take back those people I bought and wait for me outside the city." ”
Jin An nodded, bowed and left quickly. And after seeing this scene, the fat man smiled and said: "Childe, you can rest assured, our store pays attention to honesty in doing business, and those people who buy from Childe will definitely send it to you without a bad deal, and there will be no mistakes in the guarantee." ”
Chen Tianze nodded with a smile.
After stepping into the fourth floor, Chen Tianze couldn't help but be a little surprised. I saw that the entire fourth floor was like an empty square, but it was beautifully and luxuriously decorated, and the pillars around it were also carved with exquisite patterns, and the neat and exquisite tables and chairs were all made of all the same Nan wood, which was enough to see its luxury.
At this moment, dozens of people have gathered in the hall, and it seems that they are all powerful figures in Yanzhou.
Seeing Chen Tianze's little surprise, the fat housekeeper couldn't hide his pride. After taking Chen Tianze to find a chair and sit down, the fat man smiled: "Childe, wait a while, the auction hasn't started yet." ”
Chen Tianze nodded, casually threw a silver ingot to the fat man, and then said with a smile: "There is still some time, can you tell me about this so-called female general?"
The fat man quietly put the silver into his arms, then stood on Chen Tianze's side, and said softly: "Gongzi must have heard that the one who is going to be auctioned today is a female general of the Southern Barbarians. It's just that Gongzi may not know that this person is not only a female general, but also a master! ”
Chen Tianze was interested and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it." ”
"The little one doesn't know much about martial arts cultivation, but I heard that this woman's cultivation has reached the Xuanzhi realm, if it weren't for a few masters who closed her knots, I'm afraid ordinary people wouldn't be able to control her at all. And legend has it that this person is a princess of the Southern Barbarian Alliance, who was attacked and captured half a month ago. Childe, you're here this time. The fat man smiled.
Chen Tianze looked very happy, nodded and said, "It's coming." It's worth it even if you take a look, hahaha. ”
The noise rang out, and the entire hall instantly boiled.
I saw a huge cage slowly pushed up to the platform not far from the hall, and a woman sat in it with her head bowed and her hands and knees crossed, her slender thighs exposed. It was the woman Chen Tianze saw outside the door, but Chen Tianze didn't regret it at the moment, and some were just full of mockery and laughter.
Is there really only the Xuanzhi Realm? Is cultivation really suppressed?
A bunch of idiots.
――
Inside the Busy Adjudicator Division.
Feng Yulou stood in the backyard, staring down at a spy report in his hand with a frown, the brothers were still busy with their work.
The matter of Haoyue Tower came to an end, the dead and wounded, and the rest were let go only after they were full of urine and drink. This is the first time that the adjudicators have been so domineering in so many years, although Feng Yulou is worried about the consequences, but he is more excited and happy, special mother, finally let out a bad breath!
Rumble!
A loud bang was heard.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up in the direction from which the noise had come.
It's the gate of the branch!
Feng Yulou put down the things in his hand, stood up, pulled the corners of his mouth, and sneered: "It's finally here,"
"Prepare for war!"
"Yes!"
Picking up the weapon under his feet, Feng Yulou went straight to the front yard, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, idiots, finally bite the hook!
