Chapter 319 Buying a Servant
Mu Hongluan nodded and said,
“What my cousin said…”
Thinking about it,
"There are many criminal officials and family members in Lanzhou who have been exiled in all dynasties. Those who have been exiled from the border can choose one of them!"
One sentence awakened Yang Daqiang and slapped his thigh,
"My cousin is thoughtful. Why didn't I think of this place? There must be a suitable candidate among the families of criminals!"
Most of these people have slaves who are implicated by their masters. The servants bought them and are ready-made and easy to use, so there is no need to train them!
"I'll go to the city immediately and take a look!"
Mu Hongluan smiled,
"Cousin, take it carefully, and you have to choose some suitable talents everywhere..."
If the emperor had not issued a serious punishment for exile, most of the children under ten years old could not be recorded, and there were also elderly people over forty who did not register. These people had no labor, their property was copied, and their livelihood was not settled. They could only follow their relatives to the frontier here, and farming land was only possible to survive. Therefore, these people were not in the list. If there were those who could not survive, they could choose some to buy or hire them to work in the mansion, but it would be useless if they were too young or old!
Yang Daqiang responded,
"It must be carefully selected!"
He immediately took two people and went around the city of Lanzhou City.
When he arrived at this place, Yang Daqiang glanced at the person beside him and shook his head,
"Look at it... This place is indeed not as good as Lin'an..."
Today, the Daning Dynasty is a business of human traffickers. The business of only being a human tooth must be recorded by the government, and it is not allowed to forcefully sell and buy. Once discovered, it will be the crime of being confiscated by the whole family.
The bustling city of Lin'an City is the population that sells in the city. At least there is a coarse cloth dress to wear, hair and face to clean. Some people even teach these people to smile and greet people, speak Mandarin, and even cook, brush and ink, but the price is naturally not cheap.
When I arrived in Lanzhou City, I saw that these people were all pale and yellow, with disheveled hair and ragged clothes. When I looked at people, my eyes were dull and my actions were clumsy, and my posture was not much different from selling cattle and horses.
Yang Daqiang and his men walked around here for a while, but frowned.
"Such people are sick, how can they get them back to serve their wife!"
The guard who was walking with him nodded,
"It looks really bad. If you have any illness and pain, you will have to spend money to treat it. If you don't get it, it will be amazing!"
The most lacking thing now is a good doctor. If you get sick, everyone in the mansion will suffer. It is better to be cautious!
Yang Daqiang nodded, and the few people were whispering there. An old man suddenly came up next to him. The old man was thin and had yellow teeth when he smiled. He looked like his clothes were the teeth of people in this city.
"How many guests, do you want to buy someone?"
Yang Daqiang turned his head and looked at him up and down.
"You're the human tooth here?"
The old man pointed to the straw hut in front of him,
"The little old man has been doing business in this city for twenty years. The shed in front of him belongs to the little old man. You might as well go in and take a look, and you may not say there will be any suitable one!"
The old man's surname is He, who has been in this city for more than twenty years. His turbid old eyes look very sharp. At first glance, he can tell that Yang Daqiang is not a native of Lanzhou City. He dresses and looks like he is either the manager or the leader of the guard. He immediately went forward to talk and reported to his own way.
"The little old man praised me for congratulations, and everyone called me for congratulations..."
After saying that, he stretched out his hands, and the thumbs of both hands were cut off by Qi Gen. Yang Daqiang asked,
"How could someone cut off your finger?"
He Shiqi smiled and said,
"Hi, I was so happy to bet when I was young. I was owed debts in the gambling house and was cut off two little fingers. Then I made up my mind to quit gambling addiction and start a business with human teeth, so that I could support the whole family!"
Human teeth are a low-key career. If ordinary good people are not desperate, most of them will not choose this industry.
Yang Daqiang nodded and said,
"Is there anyone in your shed who can do the laundry, who can do laundry and mend the door and clean it? The most important thing is that you should not be sick!"
He Shiqi saw that there was a door, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.
"The guest officer is really here, I happened to meet..."
After saying that, he wanted to take them over and see, and walk along,
"The little old man has been in this city for twenty years. He is the official who has been booked in the yamen. There are Wu clan members who are exiled in the army and exiled. The female couple is going to sell them in the border, so the guest officials can take a look!"
Yang Daqiang thought about it and asked,
"Who is this Wu family? What did you do?"
Speaking of which, Wu was also implicated. Wu and Xia were in-laws. When Xia became older, they naturally gained a lot of benefits. When the tree fell, these monkeys would naturally be hit by the tree. When the new emperor took office, Yan Shoujing, who hated Xia, ordered a thorough investigation of Xia's greed and illegal affairs, and then pulled out the branches and vines.
The Wu family collected tens of thousands of taels of silver and several antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all of which were obtained from bribery at the office. More than 70 people from the family were sentenced to exile and exiled. The female family also went to the foreign country to sell it on the spot. Only those who only bought the Wu family's female family had to sign documents with the government and could not leave Lanzhou. However, they were found to be punished for the same crime.
The Wu man had already entered the army, and the female family was selling, but Yang Daqiang happened to meet him.
Yang Daqiang nodded and smiled when he heard this.
"This is just right, and these people are not going to take them away in the future!"
He Shizhi was overjoyed and took a few people over there, but he saw that all the female relatives in the pan were from about 40 to a few years old.
Seeing Yang Daqiang and other strong men coming to look at each other, they all showed fear, fearing that they would be brought into a dirty place, they were so scared that they were squeezed into a ball.
He Shizhi shouted as everyone sitting in the shed stood up. The slow-moving guy was kicked up by the guy who was guarding the side. He bit his lips tightly and did not dare to cry, so he quickly turned over.
Yang Daqiang took the people around and looked around, and clicked a few of them who looked young and tender.
“These…”
A few little girls were pulled out and squeezed into a place, revealing a slender and slender woman hidden behind them. He Shiqi pointed at the finger,
"Customer, do you see this happening?"
If this diseased seedling is not sold, it will be a disaster!
Yang Daqiang shook his head,
"No, this body is too weak. If we are sick, we will pay for treatment!"
The guard next to him also looked at him.
"We bought it to serve the wife. This girl doesn't look like a person who works very well, so don't...
I'm going to see the fatter ones on the side.
"This is pretty good!"
The weak woman heard that she was serving her wife. She moved first, but pushed the woman beside her and rushed to Yang Daqiang's feet.
"Master, please... buy me! I can serve you!"
Yang Daqiang frowned and retreated, but the woman's thin fingers tightly grabbed his pants' legs. When Yang Daqiang saw her lying there, looking skinny and bony, he couldn't bear to kick it away.
Look at her staying in this straw shed for a while, I am afraid that her life will be gone!
Seeing her tilted head up, her face as big as a palm,
"Master, please buy me!"
Yang Daqiang looked so pitiful that he felt compassion and pointed to the woman on the ground and said,
"This...is counted!"
I bought six maids and six male servants here and took them back for Mu Hongluan to see.
When they entered the hall, they all came up with disheveled faces, shrank their heads and heads. They all knelt down to pay homage to their mistress. Someone took a peek at her and saw that the woman who looked like a fairy concubine was sitting on her head. Her noble appearance made people dare not look directly and lowered her head.
Mu Hongluan looked at the maids first. Seeing that they were about fifteen or sixteen years old, they looked very slender and weak, they couldn't help but frown and said,
"This...but is not in good health?"
Yang Daqiang clenched his scalp and walked forward and laughed,
"Cousin, I saw that this woman was really pitiful. I couldn't bear to let her die at the hands of a human teeth, so I brought it back!"
Mu Hongluan looked up and down and nodded.
"Forget it, if she stays there again, it will be a word of death sooner or later. I'll take it back and raise it well!"
Human teeth traffickers, those young and beautiful are naturally the most valuable. If they are sick, old and weak, they will naturally have to rely on their destiny!
Although this woman is young, she has too weak bones. Most of the buyers don’t want it. She thinks she can’t sell money, so she naturally refuses to spend money to treat her. If this continues, it won’t take long to get rid of her!
"Take them down to wash up, change their clothes and come to see me again!"
Zi Yuan responded and took them down.
There were six male servants left, two big and four young, and older ones were outside to work as a disciple, and four younger ones followed Yang Daqiang and his wife to run errands.
Soon after six women finished washing up and cleaned up again. When they came out, they had already changed their appearance and saw that they were handsome or ugly.
These people were carefully selected by Wu to serve people. They are not bad in appearance, especially the weak one, who has a phoenix-eyed eyebrow, willow-leaved eyebrows, a slight nose and a small mouth. The weakness between the eyebrows is very pleasing.
Mu Hongluan glanced at the people, saw the woman's heart move, and asked her out to ask,
"Who is your surname? Who is the Wu family?"
The woman stumbled for a while before answering
"Reply to the wife, the little girl... no... my maid's surname is Wu, and her name is Wu Jue..."
"Oh... are you from the Wu family?"
Mu Hongluan was a little surprised, and no old Wu Jue responded,
"Reply to the wife, I am... I am the daughter of the third wife of the Wu family..."
She couldn't say it was lucky or unfortunate. As the whole family exiled to Lanzhou, she fell ill before she could reach the place. She finally survived Lanzhou. Although she saved her life, she was already extremely thin.
Seeing the elders and sisters in the family being sold out one by one, the only thing left was that she was so thin that she was blown down by a gust of wind. No one was willing to pay for it. She stayed in the straw hut for five months. Today, she saw a few vicious men coming in to pick people, afraid that those vulgar men would get them back and bully them, so she hid there.
