Chapter 176: Halfway Out
Du Wei glanced at him, and Sandy hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "You are from out of town, you don't know, that fat man is a famous person here." He is the head of a great aristocratic family in Dìdū, his name is Gu Luo, many of the slave traders here know him, he is an old buyer here, and he is not easy to mess with, so you better not rob him. ”
Du Wei smiled, and then without waiting for Ruolin to speak, he smiled and spoke in a small voice: "Ten...... Gold!"
There was an uproar!
Watching the young boy shout out the price of ten gold coins...... Although this money is not much, ten gold coins is equal to one hundred silver coins.
A hundred silver coins bought ten slaves, three of whom were old and weak. This kind of loss-making business is particularly curious.
Moreover, there were many people in the crowd who recognized the middle-aged fat man and knew that he was not easy to mess with. Many people are also knowledgeable about goods, and they were about to shout the price, but when they saw that this fat man had spoken, they all shut up. Suddenly, Du Wei, a boy with a face, came out, and everyone couldn't help sighing:
Someone is going to be unlucky.
The fat man named Gu Luo was not a reckless fellow, and his eyes were also very poisonous. He glanced at Du Wei twice, and also saw that Du Wei seemed to be a little extraordinary, he could mix in dìdū, this fat man was not a fool, he hesitated, and he didn't want to easily offend Du Wei, a seemingly ordinary, but rich and noble teenager.
After all, this is dìdū, at the feet of the emperor, and I don't know how many dignitaries and nobles there are. Although he is also a little arrogant, he only bullies some foreign businessmen who have no background, and he will not be stupid everywhere.
He thought for a moment, smiled at Du Wei from afar, and nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.
Du Wei ignored him, didn't glance at him, and then looked at the stage intently.
Ruolin went to donate money, and then someone from the mother trafficker immediately jumped down from the stage and sent a sign to Ruolin, which means that you can take the sign and go to the back of them to pick up people at any time.
But next, Du Wei also wants to buy a group of slaves in the back. Sandy has a very accurate eye for people, and the quality of the latter batch of slaves is two points better than that of the previous batch, which makes Du Wei faintly find interesting:
The latter group of slaves, fifteen in all, thirteen were young and strong men, all of them dark-skinned and muscular, and standing on a platform...... Well, how to put it. Let's say they are honest, but their eyes are very bright. It can be said that they are difficult to tame, but they all stand there in a proper manner, and even stand very straight and neat.
What especially made Du Wei curious was that at the back of the queue, there were old and young. An old man with white hair, so thin that he was already skinned and skulled, but he was still holding his head high, with a hint of a faint ...... that did not match his slave status Pride?
And the young man next to him always hangs his head, ** looking at his upper body, he is not as thin as he imagined, and he seems to be very clean.
The old man held the young man's hand tightly, and stood beside the group of young slaves, who seemed to be faintly protecting the old and the young.
When Sandy looked at these people, his eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice: "Venerable sir, this batch is the best! The best batch I have ever seen in the past few days! Look at this old man, at first glance, he is a person of great status among the natives! Maybe it is still some kind of patriarch! You pay attention, he still has tattoos on his body, I heard that in the ten books of Nanyang, only some people with distinguished status are qualified to get tattoos! Such people buy back, it is enough to suppress many slaves who want to escape, with this treasure in their hands, other slaves will never run away! ”
But this time, before Du Wei could speak, the middle-aged fat man had already preemptively seen the value of this batch of slaves.
"Eighty silver coins. Gu Luo's offer immediately caused a sigh from the crowd.
Many buyers with poisonous eyes did not dare to compete with Gu Luo, so they reluctantly gave up.
"Ten...... Gold. Du Wei still spoke unhurriedly.
This time, Gu Luo was a little dissatisfied.
Why does this young man always go against him? I had already given him face just now, but this guy is so ignorant?
Gu Luo glanced at Du Wei, then sneered, and whispered something to a servant in Tsing Yi beside him. The servant nodded, and walked over from the crowd towards Du Wei, and everyone around him got out of the way, intentionally or unintentionally.
The servant came over, but he was still very polite on his face, and first gave Du Wei a courtesy. It seems that the big family really came out, and it is still very measured.
"This young master. The servant said in a low voice: "Our Master Gu Luo said that he has already given you a face for what happened just now, and this batch is what he likes, so please don't hurt the peace." Today's matter is to choose a gardener for the new mansion for Lord Count Villa. ”
These words are very standard, neither soft nor hard, just right, and they also cleverly point out their identity.
Count Villa?
Du Wei smiled.
It turned out to be from the Count of Villa's family. Count Villa has always been on the side of Prince Chen, and after the coup d'état, his status has also skyrocketed. I heard that after the fall of Marquis Solomon, many royal estates were handed over to Count Villa to take care of, and they can be regarded as the direct cronies of Prince Chen. Recently, in the aristocratic *** of dìdū, it is also very strong.
The servant thought that he had told the identity of his side, and according to the old practice, the other party would be polite and give in. Everyone's face is not hurtful.
However, after Du Wei finished laughing, he didn't say anything, just glanced at Ruolin and nodded.
Ruolin understood, she felt something from her bosom, handed it to the servant, and waved him back.
Gu Luo watched his subordinates come back, took the thing and took a look, and immediately his face changed!
It's a small wooden plaque with a few simple patterns on it. This is not Du Wei's badge, but the logo of the shop in Du Wei's name.
Gu Luo was shocked when he saw it, his face immediately changed, he glanced at Du Wei carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up!
He saw that although Du Wei was wearing an ordinary outfit, he just put his hand on his back, and on his wrist, a jīng bracelet was faintly revealed under the clothes, the bracelet was gold, and a green jewel was inlaid on it.
As Gu Luo was born in the Count of Villa's palace, as a steward, his vision was naturally good, and he immediately recognized the magic bracelet that was clearly used by magicians!
Looking at the sign in his hand, and seeing Du Wei's bracelet again, he couldn't guess Du Wei's identity!
The arrogance on his face immediately subsided to the point that there was no point left, sweat appeared on his forehead, and he quickly pushed away the people around him, squeezed through the crowd hard, ran to Du Wei's side, and was about to salute, when he saw Du Wei's casual clothes, his heart moved, his movements stopped, changed to bowing, and then a humble smile appeared on his face: "Du ...... Venerable young master, I really don't recognize your identity! I ...... I didn't expect that such a noble status of yours would come to this lowly place...... I'm damned!
After speaking, without waiting for Du Wei to speak, Gu Luo raised his head and shouted loudly at the stage: "Twenty gold coins!
After finishing speaking, he took a step back and said with a respectful smile: "Venerable young master, these slaves, I will buy them and give them to you!
Sandy was already stunned...... And the people around him, many of them knew Gu Luo and knew his identity, seeing that this arrogant guy in Pingrì was facing this young man, he smiled like a pug, and spent dozens of gold coins to buy a slave and give it to this young man, and wiped the sweat on his forehead, as if he was afraid that the other party would show the slightest dissatisfaction.
This teenager ...... What is the identity?!
Du Wei smiled slightly and glanced at Gu Luo: "Well, it seems that Count Villa's subordinates are very good at doing things." In that case, Ruolin, take it. ”
"Thank you, thank you, my lord!" said Guro, who almost knelt down. He's just a small family steward, and there are too many of them in the family. In front of him is a duke who is more noble than the head of his own family, Lord Count Villa!
The slave trader dressed like a clown above also saw that Du Wei was extraordinary, he also recognized Gu Luo, the old buyer, seeing that Gu Luo was so respectful to this young man, where did he not know how to advance and retreat?
It turns out that generally speaking, after someone shouts the price, he should shout a few more times to lure more people to pay a higher price, but where does he still have the courage to do so at this moment?
He was about to announce the success of the deal, and then quickly told his master afterwards that it was best to send someone to curry favor with this strange young man......
But it seems that many things have come together today.
At the very back of the crowd, an indifferent man's voice came: "Twenty-five gold coins, these slaves, we want it." ”
The audience was in an uproar!
