At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

This is an affiliated island of ancient Wu, so unlike the Qin Imperial City, the identity verification is naturally not very strict.

Even most people won't care.

After all, there were often merchants from ancient Wei or ancient Han coming and going here. There were not only people from ancient Wu, but also Japanese. With so many people and eyes, there was naturally no need for verification.

There are not many residents on this small island, so even if something happens, it will not endanger the main island of Guwu.

In addition, this small island really has no benefits, so Gu Wu only regards this island as a transit station.

Inside the inn, three women fell into a deep sleep.

After Ren Hao settled them down, he asked his waiter for directions and then walked to the pier in the south of the city. He found a cargo ship that would sail early the next morning. After bargaining, he bought four tickets to Guwu for two and a half taels of silver.

Then he returned to the inn.

There were still a few hours until midnight, so Ren Hao quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, Ren Hao got up on time, tidied himself up briefly, and rushed to the dock with the three women. After showing their tickets, they boarded the cargo ship. Several people sat in a separate room in the cabin and waited.

Soon, the cargo ship set sail.

This time, there were no storms.

It seemed that the rain had stopped and the sky was clearing up. The sea voyage these days was exceptionally calm, which made Ren Hao and the other two, who were still frightened, breathe a sigh of relief.

Five days passed, and as the cargo ship docked, the few people finally set foot on the land ruled by ancient Wu.

The inspection here is much stricter.

Fortunately, Ren Hao and the other two had kept their identity certificates in their clothes. This wooden certificate would not be damaged by being soaked in sea water. After they took it out, they identified themselves as ancient Wei merchants and were immediately released.

As for Xiaowei, she was able to enter because she was young and short.

When they arrived at the territory of Gu Wu, Ren Hao and his companions were completely in the dark.

Even Xiaowei doesn't know much about Gu Wu.

She only knew that Gu Wu was very big, much bigger than the island where she lived before.

Dragging three women, one half-disabled and two weak, Ren Hao asked them for directions and learned that they would have to wait another day to go to Gu Han because there would be a strong wind on the sea tonight.

Ren Hao could only find a way to stay in the inn again.

When merchants from ancient Wei or ancient Han came to ancient Wu, they would live in inns specially arranged by the local government.

Merchants are not allowed to stay in ordinary inns.

One is to facilitate centralized management, and the other is to ensure the safety of these merchants.

After all, trade between countries will greatly promote the economy. As long as it does not affect the economy of the country, few fools will refuse such trade.

If we isolate ourselves from the outside world, we will only fall further and further behind, and if we fall behind, we will be beaten.

Two rooms were arranged for accommodation.

Xiaowei and Shanyue still live in one room, and Ren Hao and Wen Yan live in another room.

It was evening and Ren Hao decided to go out and take a look. After all, it would be a shame to come to ancient Wu without learning more about it.

Originally, Wen Yan also wanted to go with them, but her foot had not healed yet. The five-day sea voyage made her a little seasick, so her foot naturally healed more slowly.

Ren Hao walked out of the inn and onto the street.

This place is called Jiancheng. It was not big originally, but as more and more merchants came to trade, it gradually caught up with the scale of the ancient Wu capital, with a population of up to 200,000, and it became a trade transit station.

Most merchants would not go to the inland of ancient Wu, but would do business here with local merchants or government officials of ancient Wu.

Most of the merchants in ancient Wu also gathered here.

Where there is a lot of money, there is naturally a lot of fun.

Apart from brothels, the places where these people can spend money lavishly are places like casinos.

Along the way, Ren Hao has seen no less than five casinos.

However, the scale of these casinos is small, and one casino can usually only accommodate more than a hundred people. It is simply incomparable to the casinos in Magang in the past life that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Ren Hao naturally had no interest in casinos.

If there is one thing that interests me, it's just that I envy the casinos for making a lot of money quickly.

However, even though he was greedy, casinos were still harmful to people. Ren Hao was well aware of the dangers of gambling. Spending money lavishly might not necessarily lead to the loss of all his family fortune, but gambling was the fastest way to squander money.

Even the richest people in the world can lose everything in gambling.

At this time, Ren Hao walked to the busiest intersection.

Even in the evening, it is very lively here, with people crowded together, shoulder to shoulder, it is very lively.

There were people performing tricks, performing kung fu, performing acrobatics, and selling all kinds of food and toys. Not far ahead, there was a group of people gathered around watching some excitement.

Ren Hao squeezed over, and relying on his height which was taller than most ancient Wu people, Ren Hao could see clearly that on the ground there was kneeling a woman wearing coarse cloth clothes full of patches.

The woman had a cold expression and seemed to have no emotions. Her figure looked good, but there was a hideous scar on her face, which made her, who was originally beautiful, look a little scary.

But in front of her was a wooden sign, on which was written: "Sell your life for 100 taels"

Ren Hao couldn't help but become curious. When he was in Taoyuan County, he spent a lot of money to buy the little girl Qian'er.

It’s just that Qian’er sold herself to bury her father, while this woman sold her life in exchange for a hundred taels of silver.

The crowd watching pointed and talked, speaking some Wu dialect.

Ren Hao could only understand the general idea.

After a moment, he realized that this woman had been here for several days, just kneeling like this, and she would not answer any questions asked by others. If someone's questions annoyed her, she would turn around and leave, and would come back soon to continue kneeling and waiting.

"What's the point of taking his life? Buying a maid only costs a dozen taels. Why is he worth a hundred taels?"

"That makes sense. Wouldn't it be good for me to buy a few pretty maids with a hundred taels?"

"Fool……"

The onlookers were mocking, but the woman remained expressionless, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Ren Hao shook his head and was about to leave, but at this moment, his footsteps suddenly stopped!

His eyes fell on the woman's side, on a tattered scabbard. Although the scabbard was tattered, Ren Hao could vaguely see that the knife hidden in the scabbard was very shiny.

Looking at the calluses on the woman's hands, Ren Hao's eyes suddenly lit up!

This woman might be a master!

Ren Hao touched his chin and became somewhat interested.

The scar on this woman's face makes her look so ugly. To want one hundred taels, it is definitely not just her risking her life, but she really has some ability.

Thinking of this, Ren Hao touched the little silver left in his pocket and couldn't help grinning.

After thinking for a moment, Ren Hao turned and left.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance of a casino that he had just passed by and looked slightly larger.
