Seeing that there were more and more people in the audience, the slave trader did not sell the children immediately. Instead, he asked his two strong men to push a huge iron cage up. Seven or eight people sat languidly in the iron cage. He is a young, strong man. He looks either black or white, tall or short. There are dark-skinned southern mountain barbarians and white-skinned imperial clans. Among them, most of the native clans are slave traders who paid money to escape from prison. among the bought prisoners.
"These strong guys can be bought back to work. One of them can support two... no, three people! Look at their physiques! Look at their muscles! They can feed themselves with two meals of whole grains a day! Five gold coins! Five gold coins! What? It’s not expensive! I’m the most trustworthy person! How about if you buy one and get one for free
The slave trader was spitting and shouting loudly. Then he winked at his two strong men. The two men got the hint and used the whips in their hands to severely intimidate the people in the cage. Under the intimidation of the whips, those people stood up one after another, but a few of them with dark skin had angry looks in their eyes. With the men of the two slave traders.
"Look at this head! Look!" He shouted even harder. The few well-dressed people standing at the front under the stage ordered their servants to pay the price.
"Why do those people look so depressed?" Qiao Qiao couldn't help but ask.
Rody snorted coldly: "If a person can't eat enough for several days, of course he won't have much energy! These people are all old and strong people. If they are fed well and have strong strength, I'm afraid some of them will Fleeing and resisting.”
Qiaoqiao sighed, feeling faintly uncomfortable. Although she usually had a few slaves at home, she had never understood the suffering of these people. Seeing these poor people at this moment, she felt a trace of pity in her heart.
These hard-covered works were indeed very popular, and not long after, they were all bought. The slave trader's face was glowing. While taking the money, he asked people to take the selected slaves to the back. Naturally, there were buyers who came to the back to pick up the slaves.
When the cage in front of him was completely empty, he slowly pushed it down.
The slave trader shouted, walked to the row of children at the back, reached out and pinched the delicate skin on the cheek of a little girl, and shouted: "Take a look! Take a look! What a pink little girl!" Although you are still young, if you buy it and take care of it for three to five years, you will become a big beauty! Masters, if you buy one, you will become a beautiful girl in the future. It only costs ten gold coins! gold!"
Seeing that the little girl was only eleven or twelve years old at most, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and tears welled up in her eyes. However, she didn't dare to cry when she saw the strong man holding a whip in his hand next to her.
A fat man wearing a gorgeous leather robe shouted loudly in the audience: "Ten gold coins? Too expensive! Too expensive! Only five gold coins for an adult!!"
The slave trader smiled and said: "Master, I am the most fair in business! If you buy a little girl for ten gold coins, I will give you a boy for free? How about that?"
The buyers in the audience were whispering to each other.
Someone immediately shouted: "What's the use of such a big boy? He's too young to work! If you buy him back, he'll have to be raised for several years before he can be used as a laborer!"
In the slave trade, middle-aged and beautiful women and strong men are the easiest to sell. Young and beautiful little girls are also very popular, but no one is willing to buy these young boys.
However, this slave trader was quite shrewd and said with a smile: "Masters, masters, look at these children. I have carefully selected each of them. They are smart and delicate boys. I buy them back and give them a little training. A smart little guy with a cute appearance! It’s definitely worth it! Not to mention that I’m giving it to you for free! Let’s think about it. For ten gold coins, I can buy a little beauty and pick up a smart guy. What a bargain!”
Seeing that everyone in the audience was still hesitant, he bit it, with a look of pain on his face, and said loudly: "Let's do this! Eight gold coins! Eight gold coins! Buy a girl and give a boy!"
As he spoke, he squeezed the little girl's hand with more strength.
Seeing that these little girls on the stage were all quite pretty, it wasn't long before a few of the gorgeously dressed people finally fell in love with them. Some of them are simply in the sex business, and they are even planning to buy these girls and train them for how long before they can go out to pick up customers...
Rody's face was gloomy and his heart was full of anger. He was born as a commoner, and he knew in his heart that among the people sold as slaves, some of them were plundered from border wars, but many of them were simply poor people of their own country who sold their children and daughters when they could no longer survive.
It's just that the slavery system is the law of the empire and has been like this for two hundred years. Although he felt unhappy, he was helpless.
Qiao Qiao was anxious. She had wanted to buy those girls just now and tried her best to pull Roddy's clothes, but Roddy just looked gloomy and said nothing. I couldn't help but shouted loudly: "Eight gold coins each! I want them all!"
Everyone in the audience was hesitating in their hearts. Qiao Qiao's loud shout was very obvious in the low noise. The slave trader's eyes lit up, and his eyes immediately fell on Qiao Qiao. He said with a smile on his face: "This Miss, you have good eyesight!”
Before he could finish speaking, someone stopped. The other buyers were already interested and did not want to be overtaken by Qiao Qiao. Seeing that so many good goods were all being bought by others, they were unwilling to accept it and they all shouted loudly.
A high-pitched voice was quite harsh among the crowd's noise.
"Miss, you are too loud, too domineering, aren't you? There are so many people here, do you want to eat them all by yourself?"
Several young men in strong clothes separated from the crowd, and surrounded by a thin middle-aged man with a pale face and rich clothes walked up to Rodi Qiaoqiao.
When other people saw him, they immediately shut up. Some were pushed away by his men. Although their faces were not angry, they quickly shut up and walked away to stay away.
"I bought me, what does it have to do with you? Who are you, and you dare to care about me?" Qiao Qiao's face darkened.
The middle-aged man walked up to him and saw an extremely charming young woman standing in front of him. His eyes suddenly lit up, and his gloomy face immediately turned into a smile. He almost drooled. He sighed in his heart: So... A beauty, she alone can outshine all the vulgar fans in the family! He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Miss, why did you buy so many girls? I think you might as well give it to me and let's make friends. How about we make friends? I don't know what to call the lady? You bought so many girls, is it possible?" It’s also a Fengyue place, so we are a family! Where is Miss’s place? I will definitely go there to support you!”
Qiao Qiao's face turned red with anger. She had a noble status. How could she have ever been so angry? Before she could speak, Rody said coldly: "Get out of here!"
The man's face darkened, and he even gave in to the beautiful woman. This man didn't have a good look on her face. He was a well-known local man. Before he could speak, his men were already shouting: "Who are you! How dare you speak to Master Tare like this!" Some even drew their swords, waiting for the master's order to kill them. It's time to take action.
Rody's soldiers had already drawn out their swords, and the two sides faced each other angrily, with their swords at war.
Rody frowned. He didn't want to be troublesome. He was extremely disgusted with this kind of slavery system, let alone buying slaves. He gave the other party a cold look, pulled Qiao Qiao away and left.
The Tare master waved his hand and his men blocked their way. His eyes were only on Qiaoqiao's face. He suddenly laughed and said: "Okay! I have some courage! I haven't met anyone who talked to me like this in Xiqiu for a long time. Come on! Boy! You're not shy! I'm going to kill these people today! I can't let you go either! Otherwise, I'll throw you away! Feed the fish in the moat!”
Roddy immediately stopped. Originally, if he was fighting for a few slaves, he would be too lazy to fight over such boring things, but if the other party dared to pluck the hair from the tiger's head, he would be looking for death. He, Rody, had killed countless people in the northwest, and he was no longer a good man or woman.
Tare felt that the young man with a heroic face on the other side was looking at him coldly, and that look made him feel a chill down his back for no reason. But then he saw that he had more people than the other party, and he became bolder again. The slave trader's head was covered with sweat. He was doing business. Seeing the swords drawn by the men on both sides, he did not dare to offend anyone and shouted loudly: "Two gentlemen, please calm down! Aren't they just a few slaves! I There are still people, there are still people! Don't you need to be so angry?" But now no one paid attention to him. That Tare's eyes were only looking at Qiao Qiao. The more he looked, the more he felt his heart was struggling. There was a fierce light in his eyes. Seeing that there were not many people on the other side, he made up his mind to kill these people and get the beauty.
These guys are very cool, they are probably from out of town. Although they don't look like ordinary people, but with their own power in Xiqiu, how capable can two young men and women from out of town be
With a wink, a dozen subordinates surrounded the other party. The other onlookers saw that their swords were revealed and immediately retreated far away.
Rody said coldly: "What do you want?"
"How's it going?" Tare laughed, thinking that the other party was scared, and said loudly: "Just keep that girl here, sir. I won't embarrass you!"
Before Rody could say anything, Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "You're really serious. Does Xiqiu belong to your family?"
Tare laughed and said, "Even if you don't belong to my family, it's pretty much the same. Little girl, please obey me and come back with me!"
Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes and pulled Roddy to stop him from talking, with a smile on her face: "You want me to come with you? I'm afraid my family won't agree."
"Don't agree?" Ta Lei chuckled: "Where are your family members? I sent someone to tell them, they can't help but agree!" Seeing the beautiful woman smiling sweetly, Ta Lei's soul almost flew away.
Qiao Qiao sighed deliberately: "My parents are no longer here, but my sister won't agree if I leave with you."
Tare's eyes lit up again: "You have a sister? You are so beautiful, your sister must be a great beauty too! How about this, why don't I send someone to pick up your sister too, and you two sisters can come together Come back with me!"
Qiao Qiao put away the smile on her face and said calmly: "Okay, if you insult me verbally, the most you can do is to arrest me and lock me up for a few years. If you insult my sister, you are seeking death..."
