The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband
Chapter 49: The Couple in Trouble
At this time, a ragged man in the cage next to him suddenly knelt down, kowtowed to Li Shao and shouted: "My lord, I can work, I can do any work, please buy me and my husband, I will work like a cow and a horse to repay you in the future."
"Oh, you rude guy, you have the right to shout here. Why don't you tell him to shut up? Who of you can take responsibility for disturbing the guests?" The matchmaker shouted at the thugs angrily.
If anyone in the city can shout at this person whenever he wants, the city will become a vegetable market. If we don't teach him a lesson, the rest of the people will follow suit.
He turned around and smiled at the three people, "I am really sorry for disturbing you three. If you teach this disobedient bastard a lesson, he will behave himself. Let's continue watching."
The thugs were grabbing the man who had just yelled, ready to teach him a lesson, but he kept yelling, "Master, husband, please buy us, my husband can't hold on any longer, no, as long as you are willing to buy my husband, I will do anything for you."
This violent scene made Zhao Ye feel a little uncomfortable. Li Shao noticed it immediately and covered his eyes with his hands, letting him lean on his arms.
The man who was being punched and kicked was still shouting, and Li Shao said, "Okay, stop it, stop hitting me."
Seeing this, the matchmaker said, "Alright, stop beating me. You are lucky today. The distinguished guest asked for help, so you don't have to be beaten any more."
The man, who was beaten so badly that he could hardly get up, was still kneeling on the ground, knocking his head hard and repeating what he had just said.
Seeing that his head was bleeding and his tattered clothes were covered with bruises, it seemed that he was often beaten. Li Shao thought for a moment and said, "Stop knocking. What did you mean by saving your husband?"
When Shen An heard his words, he hurriedly said, "Master, the man with his eyes closed in the cage over there is my husband. He has had a fever for two days. If he doesn't see a doctor, he will die. Master, please save him. I am willing to exchange my life for it." Then he continued to kowtow.
"Your life?" The matchmaker sneered, "Your life is not your own."
"Husband, he is so pitiful. Even in this state, he is still thinking about saving his husband." Zhao Ye couldn't help but pull Li Shao's sleeve and said in a low voice.
Li Shao patted his head soothingly and said to the man who was kowtowing, "Stop kowtowing. If you keep kowtowing, you will die before your husband is saved."
When Shen An heard him say this, he immediately felt hopeful and quickly said, "Master, are you willing to buy me and my husband, right? Master."
Li Shao ignored him and turned to the matchmaker and asked, "What's going on with him?"
The matchmaker said quickly, "He and his husband were sold by a wealthy family. Before, someone wanted to buy him, but he insisted that the owner buy him and his husband together, otherwise he would not go with him. No matter how much we tried to persuade him, the owner gave up."
"Where is her husband?"
The matchmaker pointed to a cage nearby, and saw a boy who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old inside. His face was unnaturally red due to fever, and he was leaning against the cage in a daze.
He looked very thin, and the most eye-catching thing was his right face. His originally handsome face looked a little scary because of the scar on his right face that ran from the cheekbone to the chin.
Zhao Ye frowned and said, "He's so sick, why don't you let him take a look?"
The matchmaker smiled and said, "My dear, you are joking. I heard that he used to be a servant of a wealthy family's wife. He made a mistake and was sold by his master. His face must have been ruined at that time. His face is now like this. It won't make much money if you sell it. Even if you spend money to treat his illness, it may not be cured. How much money will you have to pay for it?"
Although he knew that people here could be bought and sold like animals, Zhao Ye still felt a little uncomfortable when the matchmaker spoke so lightly about a person's life and death, and he couldn't help but grab Li Shao's clothes tightly.
Li Shao saw that he was reluctant, and asked him with his head down: "Brother Ye, do you want to save him?"
Zhao Ye nodded honestly.
Li Shao also admired the man's willingness to risk his life for his husband, and he did not seem to be a treacherous person.
Then he said, "I want this young man and his husband." Then he pointed to a man in a cage next to him who was as strong as an ox but looked a little stupid, and said, "I want this one too. How much silver do you want in total?"
When Shen An, who was still kneeling on the ground, heard that Li Shao really wanted to buy him and Qing Ge'er, he kowtowed to Li Shao and Zhao Ye repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Master, my husband. From now on, my life belongs to you. I will serve you like a cow or a horse for the rest of my life."
The matchmaker didn't expect that the item she thought was a waste of money could be sold. She rolled her eyes and said, "These two men are both strong and capable. Thirty taels each, one can do the work of two. Don't look at this young man's disfigured face. He used to serve the wife of a wealthy family. He knows a lot. It's just right to buy him back to serve your husband."
Then he turned to Zhao Ye, "Besides, his face is ruined, so he definitely can't seduce the master. Only when a servant like this is kept in the house can the husband feel at ease. Normally, he should be paid twenty-five taels."
"But seeing that you two were brought here by Boss Liu, grit your teeth and give me eighty taels for the three of you."
"What? Eighty taels?" Before Li Shao even opened his mouth, Boss Liu was already unhappy. Although he knew that these people had the support of the government and were all old hands who could rip anyone off, he couldn't treat them as suckers like this. What's more, Li Shao was brought here by him, so this would be too much of an embarrassment to him.
"If these two men were normal, they would be worth thirty taels. But the one who got beaten up will need a lot of money to treat his injuries. And I don't know if the sick boy can be saved. If he doesn't survive, the money for his treatment will be spent, but his life will not be saved."
Although the Liu family was considered wealthy and powerful in this town, it was his eldest brother who was in charge. She worked for the government, and although she tried to please him, she would naturally try to earn as much money as possible.
Then he said in a flattering voice: "Oh my Boss Liu, you are wronging me. I really don't ask for much. This is the lowest price you can give me."
Li Shao looked at her deeply and said, "Are you really taking me for a fool? At worst, I won't buy it. Brother Liu, Brother Ye, let's go. Since they don't really want to do this business with me, let's not waste our time."
As he said this, he hugged Zhao Ye and was about to leave. Boss Liu also said, "Okay, let's go. Shao brother, there is nothing suitable here. At worst, I can pick two good ones for you from my house."
When the matchmaker saw that they were really going to leave and didn't seem to be making a profit, she became anxious. Shouldn't this be a round of bargaining?
They just left without saying anything. How can you negotiate a business like that? If they left, this half-dead young man and the mentally ill man would be left in their hands.
