The place Lang Wuxu mentioned is in Sanyuanfang. The capital of Luo’an is crisscrossed with fields. There are workshops in the city, and there are markets in the workshops. The largest commercial market is in Sanyuanfang. It was full of traffic and bustle, but when the lights first came on, it was another scene of excitement. The night market in Sanyuanfang was also a scene in the capital.

Sanyuanfang has the gate of Wujingwei. Among the gates of Wujingwei in the capital, Sanyuan has the most manpower and the richest oil and water. However, the law and order here is also the strictest, because the people of Sanyuanfang The flow is the largest, and there are as many people coming and going from south to north, from high-ranking officials and noble ladies to Liming common people, they all like to visit the market in Sanyuanfang. Supervision, chaos can occur at any time.

The head of the Sanyuan Department is a very lucrative position. Although sitting in this position, I racked my brains to get more money, but I didn't dare to relax the inspection. After all, there are many people staring at this position, which is a little bit wrong. , it is very likely that someone will fall down.

Chu Huan and Lang Wuxu took the carriage to Sanyuanfang. The place Lang Wuxu mentioned was called Chongshengtang, which was a place dedicated to selling slaves. Although Lang Wuxu only knew this name, when they arrived at Sanyuanfang, the coachman After a little inquiring, I found out the exact location. The Hall of Resurrection is located in Sanyuanfang, but it is also a famous place.

Chu Huan has also known for a long time that no matter in the capital or in other places, there will be places that specialize in the sale of servants. The origin of those servants is quite complicated. He owed a large debt and could not repay it, so he was reduced to being bought and sold.

However, the most sources are mainly prisoners of war and prisoners.

When the empire was first established, a large number of prisoners of war were bought and sold wantonly. After that, the empire gradually became peaceful. With fewer wars, there were fewer prisoners of war. Occasionally sporadic rebellions occurred in various branches of the empire, and those prisoners of war would also be transferred to the trading market. In addition, there are also prisoners of war brought back from the border.

In comparison, there are more criminals.

The so-called criminals do not mean that all slaves themselves are sinners, most of them are caused by being implicated. If an official or a wealthy family is ransacked for a crime, many of their family members will become slaves who are bought and sold. The servants they own will also be transferred to the market to be bought and sold again.

This is a common thing in the empire, and there will be places like this in any city.

There are naturally many places in the capital that specialize in selling servants. Almost every city has such shops, but the quality of Sanyuanfang is naturally the highest. Those dignitaries and wealthy families who want to buy servants also like to go Sanyuanfang came to pick and choose.

Resurrection Hall is one of them.

Rebirth Hall may not be the biggest slave trader in Sanyuanfang, but its reputation in Sanyuanfang is indeed not small, and the reason is very simple, just because in Rebirth Hall, it is always easy to find satisfactory servants. In addition, in Zhongshengtang, not only people from the Central Plains can be bought, but occasionally some people from Xiliang, barbarians, Koreans and even Western Regions can be bought, and their prices are quite reasonable. It is the people from the Western Regions who came to the Central Plains to do business from the Western Regions. Although several generations have passed, Hurs still has the genes of the Western Regions people left on him. People are very different.

Hulls has pale skin, tall stature, and a high nose bridge. What makes people unforgettable is his extremely short curly hair, which is very rare in the Central Plains.

The major shops that sell slaves will have a fixed three days a month, and they will bring together the poorer goods in the open air, under the banner of discounts, to attract people to buy, and the really good goods, in the During the days of open-air sales, they stayed in the shop instead. Anyone who was really familiar with this trip knew that the most direct way to buy a good servant was to come to pick it.

After Chu Huan and Lang Wuxu were welcomed by the people from the Rebirth Hall, the tall and curly-haired Hulls came over quickly. Although he still had the blood of the people from the Western Regions, his conversation was completely like a Central Plains person. He folded his hands and said with a smile : "The two uncles are coming here, and they are full of splendor. I don't know what kind of servants the two uncles need? Is it a strong man who guards the gate, or a maid who serves daily food? As long as you ask, this account will definitely meet your needs." .”

The signature businessman smile on Hulls’s face, although both Chu Huan and Chu Huan knew that every guest who stepped into the Hall of Rebirth could enjoy such a smile, but they had to admit that the smile on Hulls’ face was still impressive. It is very comfortable to watch.

Lang Wuxu coughed twice, and then smiled at Chu Huan: "My dear brother, I see that there are quite a few servants in your house, and there is a shortage of servants and maidservants in this guard house. Pick a few more at a time, and I will bear all the expenses."

Chu Huan shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother, you are being polite. I can still get this little money." The two of them were dressed in casual clothes, so naturally it was difficult to address each other as adults.

Hulls laughed and said, "But I don't know if the two of you are waiting here, and I'll bring him to the yard, or the two of you go directly to the backyard to pick someone out?"

Lang Wuxu asked Chu Huan with a smile, "What do you mean, brother?"

"It's okay to go and have a look!" Chu Huan stood up and said, "Please lead the way!"

Hulls immediately made a request, and personally led the two of them to the backyard. Along the way, he saw burly men in blue suits appearing from time to time, their eyes full of vigilance.

The backyard of the Resurrection Hall covers a very large area, and the walls are very tall. When you enter the yard, you can see several rows of houses. There are more than a dozen men in green clothes carrying copper sticks in their hands, patrolling back and forth, and the defense is very strict.

Hules led the two of them to a group of houses, and said with a smile: "This row of houses is full of maidservants. The two uncles are new to each other, so they probably don't know much about our place. , They are all smart and well-behaved, and when we bought people over, they were carefully selected." Looking at Chu Huan and Lang Wuxu for a few times, he said with a smile: "You two are imposing. Which mansion is this bit from?"

With his hands behind his back, Chu Huan asked, "Is this important?"

"That's not the case." Hulls said with a smile: "It's just that there is a rule in the Hall of Resurrection. If the person who comes to buy a slave is an official, we will give you a little discount."

"Oh?" Lang Wuxu asked, "And why?"

Hulls laughed and said: "Your Majesty, when we do business, we always need the help of officials and lords. If there are officials and lords who can buy slaves at the base account, it will be the glory of my rebirth hall. Naturally, I want a discount." One or two."

Lang Wuxu said: "I've heard that some firms see that officials are buying people, but they think that officials are rich people, and they ask for a lot of money. Hurs, don't you think so too?"

Hulls immediately said: "Never dare to do this. The two uncles will find out that Hulls never lied to you after asking." While speaking, he had already led the two of them to the row of houses. The house is made of iron doors, like a cage, through the iron doors, the scene inside can be seen clearly.

At this time, a man in green clothes shouted loudly, "A master is coming, stand up for me!"

After Chu Huan inspected the iron gate, he cleaned it up. There were four or five people in each room, and they were all lined up at this time, waiting to be selected.

There are women inside, big and small, the young ones are no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, and the older ones are in their early thirties. When Chu Huan and others walked past the iron gate, the women inside all looked expectantly. Looking outside, the meaning expressed in that look is very clear, that is, he hopes that someone will buy him.

Chu Huandao could understand the mood of these people.

Locked in a cage, like a domesticated animal, is full of despair. For them, the only way out is naturally to be bought out of here. Although it is not a good thing to be a slave, it is always better than stay here.

In fact, Chu Huan is not very interested in buying slaves, but today Lang Wuxu came here out of nowhere, and along the way, he emphasized several times that Chu Huan is now the right servant of the household department, and he is an important minister of the empire. It is also necessary to maintain the face of a high-ranking official. This is not only Chu Huan's personal face, but also the face of the empire.

The right servant of the household department, if such a huge mansion does not even have a few decent servants, it is really unreasonable, and he will even be looked down upon by his colleagues. In the officialdom, he is too maverick and behaves differently, which is easy Rejected by colleagues.

Chu Huan naturally disapproves of using a servant to fill his face, but he is not willing to see that he is a maverick in the officialdom. He only hopes that on the bright side, he is a member of the hundred officials and will not be conspicuous , and will not become the focus of attention. The so-called shooting the top birds, the top citrons will rot first, is too eye-catching, and it is indeed not a good thing.

Chu Huan is not a cosmopolitanist, but he saw the people inside like goods for people to choose and buy, but he still felt a little sad. After walking for a while, Hulls knew that today's buyer was Chu Huan, but seeing Chu Huan His expression was indifferent, and he didn't seem to be very interested, but he was a little surprised.

In fact, many guests came here and saw a large group of servants who were free to choose, and they were very excited. Hulls added fuel to the side and boasted a few words, which often made the guests buy a few more people, but Chu Huan didn't say anything. Also expressionless, Hulls couldn't figure out what Chu Huan was thinking for a while. When he walked to the end and saw many people, Chu Huan remained silent. Hulls couldn't help asking: "Do you two gentlemen have a favorite?" Servant? These women are very obedient. After buying them back, no matter what they are asked to do, they will obey their orders and never dare to disobey. If Hurs tells a lie, you send them back, and I will compensate you ten times Your silver." After a pause, he said softly, "You two, don't think they are just women, many of them were former noble wives." Pointing to a woman in her early thirties behind the iron gate, she said: " This woman used to be an official wife, look, she is still skinny and tender, but we have trained her to do anything...!" She came closer and said with a smile: "Now she can be regarded as a You can go to the kitchen during the day, and you can enter the bridal chamber at night. Take a good look at the two uncles. The skin is fair, the breasts and the buttocks are round and smooth. Don't look at the older age, but the taste is really good, and you can still work. Think about the past The official's wife is reduced to a domestic servant and waits for orders at will. This is not something that can happen to everyone. This is still a fresh product. It has not been long since it came. Several companies have already taken their fancy. If the two of you don't make a move today, come next time , it will definitely be bought by someone...!"

Chu Huan looked it over, and found that the woman was really plump and attractive, and her eyes were full of desire to be bought like other women. Although she was reduced to a slave, she really retained the temperament of a noble lady. The skin is tender and fleshy, plump and fair, with a somewhat mature and attractive style. It seems that Hulls is not talking nonsense. This woman may really be the family member of the convicted official.

At this time, Lang Wuxu's eyes were looking up and down on the woman, stroking his beard, and his eyes were shining. The woman first looked at Chu Huan, and seeing that Chu Huan had a peaceful face, he seemed not very interested in her. Seeing Lang Wuxu's eyes moving on his plump body, he immediately straightened his chest, and the skirt of his chest immediately stretched up. He stared straight at Lang Wuxu with a bit of flair in his brows and eyes.

Lang Wuxu saw that woman's eyes were ecstatic, and there was a little sensuality between her eyebrows and eyes, and his heart was even more beating, but he didn't know that the woman also saw the two people dressed in brocade clothes, and she looked like a rich person. Although she used to be Mrs. Guan, but after being reduced to a lowly slave, she still wanted to maintain her dignity at first, but the training of the Resurrection Hall has made her dignity go away. Life here is not easy, and now she just wants to find a buyer early and leave early This big cage.

Lang Wuxu was itchy in his heart, but he put on a serious look on the outside. Today is Chu Huan's buyer. Although he has already taken a fancy to the woman, he is embarrassed to rush to buy it at this time, and looks at Chu Huan with a smile. , asked: "What do you think of her, brother? I think she is still physically strong, and she seems to be a manageable person."

"Exactly." Hurs said with a smile: "If the two gentlemen are interested, I will ask her to come out, negotiate a price, and sign the contract of sale." To the woman said: "Turn around and let the two Take a good look, sir."

The woman took two steps forward, and behind the iron gate, she smiled charmingly at Lang Wuxu and turned around slowly. Lang Wuxu was even more satisfied when he saw her breasts and hips.

At this moment, a strange cry was heard. Although there were many people in this yard, it was very quiet. The strange screams sounded continuously, and Hulls was already seen frowning, with a cold and stern look in his eyes.
