What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

Gu Xi picked up the remaining half can and gulped down two gulps. It was really delicious.

Seeing Gu Xi enjoying the drink, the shopkeeper hesitated for a few moments, then picked up the bowl, took a small sip, then another sip, then took a few big gulps. He finished the Coke in the bowl in a few gulps and burped.

"It's really a special product. I have never tasted wine of this flavor. What is the name of this wine? How much do you have?"

The waiter next to him was stunned. His boss was always calm, why was he so anxious now? With his boss's alcohol tolerance, he wouldn't get drunk after half a bowl, right?

Gu Xi said, "This thing is called Coke. It's not alcohol, but a drink similar to tea. I only have three cans, but I don't know how much the shopkeeper can offer for it."

The shopkeeper took the Coke can from Gu Xi, looked at it carefully, stroked the word Coke printed on it, and praised:

"This jar is really well made. Are you selling the tea inside alone or the jar as well?"

"Of course they are sold together. This Coke can only be put in this kind of can. If you open it like this when drinking, it will quickly go bad if you pour it all out."

The shopkeeper said:

"This thing should be very valuable, but there are not many people in our town who can afford to drink this cola. I'll offer a hundred coins for a can. I wonder if you're willing to sell it to me, young man?"

Gu Xi did not dare to agree too readily, and pretended to be very embarrassed and sighed, saying:

"Well, I'm in urgent need of money, so I can only sell it to you at a low price."

The shopkeeper took the money and asked casually:

"Where did you get this Coke from, little brother?"

Gu Xi had already thought of what to say, and lowered his voice and said:

"This is an imported product, brought from overseas. I have a relative who has some connections, so I got these cans."

Finally, the shopkeeper also bought the empty can that Gu Xi had finished drinking for fifty cents, so Gu Xi received a total of three hundred and fifty cents.

Because she was in a hurry to go to the county town, and she also knew that her things could not be sold at a high price in this small town, these three hundred and fifty cents were enough.

Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. In order to find someone conveniently, Gu Xi went to a tailor shop and spent a hundred coins to buy a set of ready-made clothes and a pair of new shoes, of course, men's clothes.

When he returned to the inn, the waiter's eyes lit up:

"Sir, have you made a fortune?"

Gu Xi nodded:

"I did some small business with someone and made a small profit. Waiter, I want to rent your carriage and set off to the county town right now."

After saying this, he also tipped the waiter two copper coins.

The waiter was happy and his service attitude became better.

"Okay, sir, please follow me and I will take you to the county town right away."

The carriage arrived at Chengyang County before noon. On the way, Gu Xi asked the coachman about the human trafficking market in the county.

After giving the coachman a few more copper coins, he happily sent Gu Xi directly over.

Renyazi Market is located in the west of Chengyang County, in a fenced area about half the size of a playground.

Gu Xi is now dressed in fancy clothes. After getting off the carriage, she applied some makeup on her face, and it became less dark. She looked like a rich young man.

When I walked into the human trafficking market, I saw many people tied up with ropes. Some had no expression on their faces, some were crying, and some were kneeling on the ground, begging the nobles passing by to buy them.

The human teethers were also selling to potential customers passing by.

In the evil old society, people were sold like livestock, and it was even legal.

"Sir, are you looking for a servant boy or a maid? Come and have a look at my shop. I guarantee you will find something that satisfies you!"

"Sir, look at how pretty the girls here are. Why don't you buy one and take her back to be your maid?"

Several people came over to recommend them to Gu Xi, and one woman even grabbed her arm and winked at her.

Gu Xi always said to everyone: "Let me take a look first, and then buy if I find something I like."

She turned around and didn't find the person she was looking for. Don't ask her why she could recognize which ones were relatives and which ones were not. The answer is: it was based on the original owner's memory.

Gu Xi asked people again who Liu Si was.

When Liu Si heard that a guest was looking for him, he came over, clasped his fists and asked:

"What do you need, sir?"

Gu Xi said: "I heard about you from others. How many people do you have now?"

Liu Si said, "What a coincidence! I just sold all the people. How about you leave me your address? I will send them to your house next time I find a good one?"

As human traffickers, they often encounter wealthy families who want to buy people from them and send them to their homes. Generally, the price they offer is quite high.

Gu Xi was stunned. It was sold so quickly?

"Who did you sell them to?" Gu Xi looked anxious.

Liu Si's eyes moved, he looked Gu Xi up and down, crossed his arms and said:

"You are not going to buy slaves?"

Gu Xi originally wanted to pretend to be a guest and buy her relatives out. Otherwise, if the human traffickers knew their relationship, they would definitely ask for a sky-high price. Moreover, their identities could not be revealed, after all, they were exiled fugitives.

But now that he had sold the person, there was no need for her to beat around the bush and she said directly:

"I'm looking for someone, and I heard that the person here looks like the one I'm looking for."

Liu Si's face darkened, and he turned to leave, saying:

"We have our own rules in this business. We cannot tell others about the slaves we have sold. If you don't want to buy slaves, then we can say goodbye."

Gu Xi grabbed Liu Si, took out a hundred coins from his pocket, handed them to him and said:

"Just tell me who you sold it to."

Liu Si weighed the copper coin, returned the money to Gu Xi, and said with a mean look on his face:

"Sir, this amount of money is not even enough for me to earn from selling a slave. I can't end my livelihood because of this little money."

"How much do you want before you tell me?"

Liu Si stretched out five fingers.

Gu Xi asked: "Five hundred coins?"

Liu Si said again: "No! It's five taels of silver."

Gu Xi gritted her teeth. It was really an exorbitant price. Five taels of silver was five thousand coins, and she didn't have that much money right now.

But she couldn't give up the clues to her relatives, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, I don't have so much on me, you come back with me to get it."

Liu Si followed Gu Xi and walked through several alleys until they came to a deserted place. Liu Si felt something was wrong and was about to run away, but was caught by Gu Xi and beaten up.

Soon Liu Si was beaten so hard that his mouth was crooked and his eyes were squinting, and he let out a howl like a pig being slaughtered, but Gu Xi grabbed his neck and threatened that he would strangle him to death if he dared to shout.

"Do you still want five taels of silver?" Gu Xi kicked Liu Si, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog.

"No, no more, please spare my life, sir!"

"Tell me where you sold the person, and I will spare your life."

Liu Si cried and said, "The manager of the Sun family in the south of the city bought them all."

"How can I believe that what you say is true?"

"I have the paperwork."

So there is such a thing. Gu Xi took out the document of slave trade from Liu Si's arms. It turned out to be the Sun family in the south of the city.

If she had known this existed, she would have just snatched it away instead of going through the trouble of beating Liu Si for so long.

hand pain.

But human traffickers deserve to be beaten. If Gu Xi wasn’t afraid of being sued, he would have wanted to beat him to death.

Gu Xi took the document away, and Liu Si fell to the ground, feeling extremely painful all over, his eyes full of resentment.

After Gu Xi walked away, Liu Si got up and limped towards the county government office. He wanted to report the case.
