Wang Da swallowed his saliva, and his rough voice trembled: "Girl, the last two are useless people, you?"

Linglong's eyes fell on the young man not far away, and she said calmly: "Nothing, I don't mind."

Seeing Linglong's calm and expressionless face, Wang Da knew that he couldn't change anything, so he didn't bother about it and started to settle the accounts.

Zi'an, who was standing in front of two iron cages not far away and observing, saw Linglong chatting with Wang Da, and was about to walk towards Linglong.

"Sir, is that you?"

A weak and familiar male voice accurately reached his ears in the noisy environment.

Zi'an paused, turned his head, and his sight accurately passed through the numerous slaves and fell on one person.

When he met a pair of familiar willow-leaf eyes, his pupils trembled, his breathing tightened, and he turned and walked towards the iron cage.

"Sir, stop."

A scolding voice brought Zi'an back from his trance in time.

Linglong noticed that something was wrong with Zi'an and stopped talking with Wang Da.

"Madam Wang, wait a moment."

After saying this, he strode towards Zi'an.

Before Wang Da could react, a breeze blew past and the person who had been speaking disappeared from his sight.

"An'an, what's wrong?"

Just as Zi'an and the person who stopped him finished explaining, he heard a cold question from behind him, and his aloof brows softened instantly.

Turning around, he looked at Linglong who was approaching and said softly, "Sister, I found what I wanted."

After hearing this, Linglong's eyes moved and her gaze unconsciously fell on the iron cage behind Zi'an.

An An was not satisfied with any of the many slaves just now, but now she found one among these weak and dying men.

Wang Da, who followed behind, was surprised when he heard this and said, "Sir, these slaves are all sick and it is difficult for them to survive."

It is for this reason that these people are locked up here alone.

Zi'an looked at Wang Da's rough face and said kindly, "Sister Wang, I want the person inside."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at a man who was clinging to the iron cage.

"If anything happens during this time, my sister and I won't cause any trouble for you."

After saying this, he put down his hand and looked at Linglong expectantly and nervously.

Linglong glanced at the slave that Zi'an wanted and nodded: "Madam Wang, let's calculate the money together as my fiancé said."

Although the words were cold, Wang Da still felt the unquestionable tone in Linglong's voice.

Things had come to this point, and Wang Da didn't want to say anything more. He winked at the cage keeper beside him.

The latter nodded, opened the iron cage with great tact, and pulled out the person Zi'an wanted.

Wang Da glanced at the listless slave and said to Linglong respectfully, "Miss Wang, let's go into the house and talk."

Linglong nodded and took Zi'an's hand towards the room they had just come from.

Zi'an hasn't looked at the man since his initial misconduct.

Hong Yu, his personal servant, was also the guard chosen by his father. How could he be sold here? And all the meridians in his body were shattered.

"Girl, for twenty-eight warriors, I will charge you five hundred and fifty taels of silver. Do you think that's feasible?"

Hearing this, Zi'an came back to his senses and took out a bulging purse from his sleeve.

Linglong saw Zi'an's behavior out of the corner of her eye and shook her head helplessly. She felt a little depressed when she thought about how the old lady had only spent ten taels of silver to buy Zi'an.

Afraid that her emotions would fluctuate too much and she would not be able to suppress her anger, she looked at Wang Da and said calmly, "Madam Wang, you miscalculated the number of people. The two with broken arms and legs, plus the one my fiancé just chose, make a total of thirty-one people. I will give you six hundred taels."

After Linglong finished speaking, Zi'an swiftly took out seven hundred-liang silver bills from his purse and placed them on the table.

Wang Da, who hadn't had time to refute, looked at the young man opposite him in confusion. Wasn't it six hundred? Why did this man give her seven hundred?

Seeing this, Linglong raised the corners of her lips slightly and continued, "Madam Wang, the extra one hundred taels will be kept as hard-earned money for the government and Madam Wang."

Upon hearing this, Wang Da quickly shook his head, and a hint of simplicity appeared on his fierce face.

"Girl, you've given enough. I don't know if those two cripples and the man you like can survive. Just consider it as a gift from me."

Delicate fingertips tapped the table, and the words she said made Wang Da's face change.

"Madam Wang, if you send those two cripples away, you will be implicated if something goes wrong later."

Zi'an, who was packing his purse, paused when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at Linglong, who was still calm, in disbelief.

Wang Da stared at Linglong sharply and asked, "Miss Wang, what do you know?"

dong dong dong...

Linglong looked at Wang Da calmly and said nothing for the time being.

In the quiet and depressing room, Linglong continued to knock on the table. As the regular thumping sound rang out, the sweat on Wang Da's forehead slid down his cheeks.

Seeing Wang Da’s increasingly pale face, Zi’an reached out and held the hand on the table.

"elder sister."

The banging sound stopped abruptly. Linglong tilted her head and looked at Zi'an, waiting for his next words.

At this moment, Wang Da was like a fish out of water, gasping for breath.

Too scary, too dangerous, this is Wang Da’s first impression of Linglong. The second is that Wang Linglong’s identity is definitely not that of an ordinary noble.

What kind of trouble did Xiao Saner bring to his family this time?

"Sister, Sister Wang doesn't know much."

Linglong was really strong. Not only was she able to carry him from Taohua Village to the town in the morning without any disturbance, but now, she could control people's minds and souls just by tapping on the table.

After Zi'an finished speaking, Wang Da, who had recovered, was confused again. What did this young master mean by this? What did she not know?

Linglong was not surprised by Zi'an's words. She held the boy's hand, looked at Wang Da, and said coldly, "Madam Wang is a smart person. If you want to stay out of this, I'll give you the words blind and deaf."

After saying that, Linglong stood up with Zi'an by her hand, "Madam Wang, you should directly contact Wang San for the next matter. We have other things to do, so we'll leave first."

When Linglong stood up, Wang Da instinctively stood up as well. His confused mind became clear when he heard Linglong's last words.

He cupped his fist towards Linglong and said, "Okay, girl, take care. I will have Xiao San'er deliver the slave and his property to you intact."

Linglong nodded without saying anything, and walked out with the young man.

Wang Da wanted to send Linglong away, but Linglong raised her hand to stop him. Wang Da had no choice but to watch Linglong and the other person go away.

If it weren't for that young man just now, she would have been scared to death!

To be honest, she had met many dignitaries, but she had never seen a woman like Linglong who was so awe-inspiring without even getting angry.

"Wang Da."

These two words made Wang Da, who was daydreaming, freeze. He turned around, and when he saw Huang Changyue standing behind him with a smile on his face, he instantly became alert.

"Mayor Huang, what's going on?"
