After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

"I didn't pickle the meat this morning." Zhu took her granddaughter from his arms. "I was busy catching thieves last night, so I didn't have time to pickle the meat."

"Aren't we going to buy slaves today? Why don't we set up a stall?"

When Mu Laosan heard this, he had no choice but to sigh. Without meat, he couldn't set up a stall.

Looks like I'll just have to deal with other things today.

"Okay, I'll ask Mr. Sang for help later."

Baby Mu raised his paw and said with a grin, "Dad, I want to go too."

"Master took me to the slave market in town before."

Mu Laosan did not refuse, it would be good for his daughter to go out with him to see the world.

……

Slave market.

"Wow!" Baby Mu exclaimed as he looked at the slave market, which was much larger than the town.

"Big brother, the slave market here is much bigger than the one in our town, and there are many more people."

Sang Ye had never been to a slave market, so it was not his job to worry about buying slaves; his mother handled that matter.

However, he still knew how to buy slaves, after all, they would inherit the family business in the future.

"Baby, let's find a donor first. This place is too big and we can't walk around everywhere."

The slave market here includes everything that can be sold, even industries that cannot be seen in the light.

Among these industries that cannot be seen in the light, some are tacitly approved by the court, while others are not.

But when it comes to profit, there are always some people who take risks.

Mu Laosan stood by and watched. It was his first time in the slave market. This place was really big.

If he didn't know this was a slave market, he would have thought it was a market.

Mu Baobao nodded, "Okay."

Sang Ye glanced at his followers.

The entourage immediately went to find a group of donors not far away.

The slave market was huge, and it was impossible for people who came here to visit every slave market one by one, which gave rise to the industry of donors.

The donor is familiar with all the situations in the slave market and will introduce them to the most suitable shop according to the needs of the guests.

Not long after, the entourage brought back a middle-aged donor with an ordinary face.

"Greetings, gentlemen, young men and young ladies." The donor bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly, with a smile on his face.

"I wonder what you gentlemen, young men and young ladies would like to buy? I'd like to recommend it to you."

Sang Ye glanced at him sharply and said calmly, "You know the rules of Rongdu."

"I don't need to tell you what the consequences are of offending a noble family, right?"

It was the first time for Mu Baobao to see such a big brother, and he was quite surprised. The big brother was so nice and majestic!

Yes, it’s so majestic!

Mu Laosan also found it amazing that this was what the young master of a big family really looked like.

Mr. Sang always appears very kind in front of them.

The donor rubbed his hands and reassured, "Look at what this young master said. I will never do anything that I shouldn't do."

He could tell at a glance that the young master in front of him was a favored son of a noble family, and was not someone a small person like him could afford to offend.

Sang Ye said, "We want to buy a housekeeper and ten servants."

"These servants must understand the rules of the big family, matters related to banquets, etc. The butler must also be good at handling various matters and understand the relationships between the powerful and the wealthy."

"Among them, there should be three or four maids, neither too old nor too young, and none who have committed any crime."

After listening to this, the donor thought for a while before saying, "It's not easy to find such servants and housekeepers."

"However, a new batch of slaves have arrived recently... Young Master, as you know, these slaves are usually sold by their masters, and most of them have committed crimes."

Sang Ye didn't expect this to happen. He frowned and asked, "Tell me the details."

Now it seems that we can only settle for the second best.

If the slave is not one who has committed a serious crime or has problems, there is no problem in selecting him.

The donor said, "They were all sold from the Lin'an Palace."

"Prince Lin'an's Palace?" Sang Ye's eyes darkened slightly.

The donor nodded, "I believe this young master knows something about the Lin'an Palace. Recently, the Lin'an Palace has sold a lot of slaves."

"It's said that all the slaves were either beaten to death or sold off. They said they didn't take good care of their masters, and some of them stole."

"I don't know the specific reason."

It is said that this was done because the new princess of the Lin'an Palace had done something shameful.

Even if she was the Princess of Lin'an, she could not beat or kill slaves at will. Some slaves had to be sold.

Sang Ye knew some inside information. The second wife that King Lin'an had just married was the younger sister of his first wife.

The two had been having an affair for a long time, and the second wife even murdered the original wife and her children, which is why she sold the slaves of the Lin'an Palace.

"Take us to see it."

As far as he knew, the slaves in Prince Lin'an's Palace were originally managed by Prince Lin'an's first wife, and most of them were good people.

The donor led Sang Ye and the other two to a shop.

A shop near the entrance to the slave market.

This is a very ordinary shop, but it is clean and tidy. Even the servants here are all wearing clean old clothes and are not thin.

Even though these slaves were not fat and white, they still had some flesh on their faces and bodies, and they looked in good spirits.

"Old Yu, a guest is coming!" the donor shouted, "Hurry up and make some tea and some food. There's a young lady here."

Old Yu came out upon hearing the voice, and said with a bright smile, "Welcome, welcome!"

He clasped his fists and bowed to Sang Ye and the other two, then led them into the shop to sit down and talk.

A servant brought tea.

After getting Sang Ye's permission, Mu Baobao picked up a piece of flower-shaped cake and took a bite.

Wow, it’s delicious!

Sweet, fragrant, and a little sticky.

She stuffed a piece of cake into Sang Ye's mouth, and then stuffed another piece into her father's mouth before continuing to eat while dangling her short legs.

Sang Ye put the cake back on the plate and asked Lao Yu, "I heard that a group of servants from the Lin'an Palace came here?"

Seeing the donor nod, Old Yu touched his chin and smiled, "I have a group of donors here, and they are considered the best among them."

“That’s right, the price won’t be cheap.”

Sang Ye smiled faintly and said, "The price is not the problem. The problem is whether these slaves are good. My requirements are quite high."

Lao Yu said, "How about this, let's take a look at the goods first?"

Mulberry leaves indicate yes.

Old Yu invited a few people to the open space outside the shop.

Slaves came over with more than twenty men and women tied with chains.

Stand in two rows.

"These are the slaves sold by the Lin'an Palace," said Old Yu. "There are housekeepers, as well as personal maids and servants."

"By the way, even the cooks were sold off."

Just as Sang Ye was about to ask something, the follower leaned over and whispered something in his ear.

"Master, I just received news that the Lin'an Palace was raided. It was ordered by the Emperor."

Sang Ye narrowed her eyes slightly, covered her lips with her sleeve, and whispered, "Is it related to what Xu Xian did?"

The attendant said, "It is said so, but I suspect it may also be related to the actions of Prince Lin'an indulging his second wife."

"Perhaps the Emperor didn't attack before because he wanted to give Prince Lin'an a chance, but unfortunately he didn't seize it."
