Chapter 82 Buying People
Human tooth market.
A large group of people in the market gathered around a high platform and discussed their issues.
There were five men and four girls on the platform, all of them lowered their heads and looked submissive, waiting for the price to be offered.
A man stood on a high platform and shouted loudly:
"Everyone, come and see. The people this time are all young, strong and handsome. The men can be servants or personal servants, and the girls can be maids or concubines. If you like any of them, hurry up and buy them!"
A jeweled, plump woman squeezed in and stared at the man on the stage for a while, "I want those two good-looking ones!"
The crowd suddenly burst into laughter, and one of the purple-robed men said jokingly, "Sister Zhu, remember you already redeemed two prostitutes last month. Can you handle buying two more now?"
"Hahaha," the crowd burst into laughter again.
"Get out of the way. I'm rich and willful!" She then took out twenty taels from her bosom and handed it to the trafficker. "Next time you see a handsome man, let me know!"
"Don't worry, Sister Zhu. You will be the first one to be notified next time!" The human trafficker pulled out two young men and gave the indenture contract to Sister Zhu.
Sister Zhu stared at the two men and rubbed each of their faces with a lecherous look. "That's the look I like. Let's go home, take a shower, and change clothes!"
The three of them walked out of the crowd together.
Staring at the backs of the three people walking away, An Muxi felt strange. The ancient times were backward, but people could keep men at will. As long as you had money, you could keep men. In modern times, if you keep men, your spine would be broken. In the last days, you want to keep men, but there are no men with normal bodies. Due to the long-term shortage of materials and the destruction of the natural environment, men have dead sperm and impotence, and women cannot give birth. The country has to spend huge amounts of money to artificially cultivate children.
While Mu Xi was thinking, a man in a blue robe came over angrily with a man in his twenties. "Human trafficker, I don't want you anymore. You are so stubborn. You went out with my wife for the whole morning yesterday. When I asked who you met, you refused to tell me!"
The man who was being pulled had a stubborn look on his face. His bright eyes and calm expression showed that he had experienced many ups and downs. He stared at the man in the blue robe with burning eyes, "Master, Madam won't let me say it, so Yuanzheng has to be honest!"
"I see you like my wife!" The man in blue robe raised his foot and kicked hard, "You are just like your master, hypocritically noble. If it weren't for your business acumen, do you think I would buy you? Within seven days after I bought you, you bought all the maids and servants in the mansion."
Yuanzheng groaned after being kicked and said no more words.
The trafficker walked down the platform and said unhappily, "There's no reason for someone to return the item after selling it. If all else fails, then go see the authorities!"
"That's right, this is a rogue!"
"How could such a thing happen?"
"that is!"
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd...
Mu Xi stared at Yuan Zheng intently and found that he had a very good bone structure, dark skin, and clean clothes. From the name Yuan Zheng, one could tell that he was a knowledgeable and upright person.
The more Mu Xi looked at him, the more he liked him. How bad could such a person be? "Master, I want this person!"
There was a flash of surprise in Yuan Zheng's eyes, and he stared at An Muxi intently, fearing that she would go back on her word.
The man in the blue robe rubbed his big palm and patted Yuan Zheng's shoulder gently. "Besides being disobedient, you are quite efficient. Just give me fifteen taels of silver!"
"Isn't it ten taels of silver each?" Mu Xi looked angrily at the man who was raising the price. He just saw Sister Zhu take out twenty taels of silver to buy two men.
"Come on, forget it. I'll take you home and use you as a punching bag." After saying that, he pushed Yuanzheng hard.
Yuan Zheng staggered and nearly fell to the ground. He looked around with desolation in his eyes. Ever since his master got into trouble, the people in the mansion have been like animals, being sold here and there and bullied by others.
Mu Xi took out fifteen taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the blue-robed man's hand, "Forget it, fifteen is fifteen!" He was not short of money.
The man in blue robe took the silver and took out the indenture contract and handed it to Mu Xi, "This person will be yours from now on!"
Seeing that he had changed his master, Yuan Zheng let out a long breath and looked at Mu Xi with gratitude.
Mu Xi read the contract of sale and dragged Yuan Zheng to an empty alley. "Do you know anything about business?"
Yuan Zheng knelt down and kowtowed heavily, "Thank you Miss An for your help. Yuan Zheng used to be the steward of the Su family. He and the master have been doing business for many years, so he knows a little about business."
Seeing that Yuanzheng could call her by her last name, she asked incredulously, "Do you recognize me?" She pulled Yuanzheng up with both hands. She was clearly wearing men's clothes today!!!
Yuan Zheng stood up and raised his head slowly, "Of course I recognize her. Miss An used to wear men's clothes to go in and out of various places. The master even had dinner with your father!"
"Oh~ What's your master's name?"
"Su Changhai."
"Oh, a famous wealthy businessman in Kyoto." Mu Xi remembered this person, a very open-minded person who had business dealings with his father.
"Miss An, Boss Su was thrown into prison for delivering food to the King of Pingnan. Not long after, he died of illness in prison. These servants of the Su family were treated like livestock and were bought, sold, and bullied at will!"
"Why are the officials so unreasonable? Since ancient times, merchants have never been able to defeat the officials. They want money and food, how dare we refuse to give them?"
Suddenly something came to mind, "King Pingnan, the only king of a different surname in the Great Xia Kingdom, Long Xiaotian?" This is a well-known big shot. He made great contributions when fighting against the Red Flame Kingdom, but was later accused of treason. It is impossible to verify whether it was a true or false treason.
Yuanzheng nodded silently.
Mu Xi glanced at Yuan Zheng's exposed wrist and found it was covered with scars, inflamed and swollen. "Are you injured?"
"It's okay, they are just superficial injuries, all caused by the boss just now," he said, pulling up his sleeves.
Mu Xi frowned slightly, pulled Yuan Zheng's arm and raised it high. The scar on the arm was shocking. "He's simply a beast!" After that, he took out a bottle of disinfectant from his sleeve and poured it on the wound on Yuan Zheng's arm.
Yuan Zheng's eyes turned red and his nostrils twitched slightly when he felt the concern. "Master, Yuan Zheng will do it himself." After that, he took the disinfectant from Mu Xi's hand and washed the wound. Ever since he was sold into a slave, no one has ever treated him as a human being.
Looking at Yuanzheng's forbearing expression, Muxi comforted him,
"It will stop hurting in a while. By the way, do you know where there is a warehouse? I want a big one and I won't be afraid of spending money!" After saying that, he took out two thousand taels of silver notes and shook them generously.
Looking at the banknotes, Yuan Zheng said solemnly, "There is a warehouse on the west side of the market. The master stores goods and dries grain there every year. The rent is not expensive."
"Okay, take the banknotes and contact the largest grain stores in Kyoto. Pay the deposit first and buy one million kilograms of rice, one million kilograms of flour, and as much rapeseed oil as you can get. Send it to the warehouse you mentioned tomorrow, and I'll pay the full amount."
"One million, rice and flour?" Yuan Zheng widened his eyes with an incredible look.
"Yes, is there any problem?" I thought I bought too little and was afraid of attracting other people's attention.
