Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 87 He looks like a good person at first glance
In the city here, even though it's already the beginning of winter, the air is still filled with the faint smell of sweat and other strange smells.

As soon as they walked into the entrance of the market, which was no different from a vegetable market, the three of them smelled this lingering smell.

Su Xiaoyong and Li Lianhua were used to seeing each other and didn't show anything unusual.

Li Lianpeng couldn't help but frown. The scene in front of him was something he had never expected. Although he had some suspicions in his mind, seeing it with his own eyes was a different mood.

I saw rows of wooden cages on both sides of the road ahead, holding half-clothed slaves. Most of them looked numb and dull, like those animals in captivity. Businessmen looked around and pointed outside the cage.

Some dental masters will even let slaves open their mouths to show the teeth to those who buy slaves.Li Lianpeng's hearing was very good, and he heard the nearby seller saying to the buyer "good teeth", "capable", "easy to make a living", "never suffer a loss" and so on.

It is difficult to associate this scene with the bustling city of Yangzhou.

Although human trafficking is expressly prohibited by Daxi law, slaves are different. Generally speaking, the local government rarely interferes with the slave trade. Li Lianpeng does not know the inside story, and it must be related to interests.

The three of them had just walked a short distance inside when someone came up to them quickly.

The person who came was none other than Wang Fugui, the "Yangzhou Know-It-All" whom Li Lianpeng had just dealt with in the morning.

"Why are you here?" Li Lianpeng looked at Wang Fugui in front of him, frowning again, feeling uncomfortable.

"I'm... dissatisfied with Mr. Li. In fact, we also have official slaves for sale in Yaxing..."

Wang Fugui saw that Li Lianpeng's face was not very good-looking, and he didn't know why he had made him unhappy. His smile froze on his face and he hesitated.

"You guys are really good at dental work. This business is quite big!"

Li Lianpeng said something with unclear meaning, and then said expressionlessly:
"Since we are so destined to meet here, why don't you, Xiao Wang, take us around?"

"This..." Wang Fugui scratched his head in embarrassment.
"That...can't..."

Wang Fugui paused and said:

"Master Li, to be honest, the villain has no words to speak here..."

"Ha... I won't embarrass you anymore." Seeing the troubled expression on his face, Li Lianpeng waved her hand and said:
"Then help find someone who can talk to me."

"Yes, everyone, please follow me."

Wang Fugui made an invitation gesture and led several people into the 'talent market'.

-

"Sir, don't look at this young man's skinny appearance. He is very strong. He is very fierce when he fights with others for food! Have you seen those whip marks on his body? That means he is hungry. When I was fighting for food, I refused to listen to my persuasion, and my men couldn't keep me away, so I beat him with a whip."

"If it were any other boy who was beaten like this, he would probably have been beaten to death long ago!"

"Let's see, how do you like it? If you are satisfied, I think you are the one brought by the rich man, so I will give you a cheaper price."

The smug-eyed trafficker chattered nonstop, spitting, and spoke of whipping people with a hint of pride in his tone.

Li Lianpeng frowned and took two steps back in disgust, staying away from the disgusting guy in front of him.

He turned to look at the young man in the cage with dull eyes and ragged clothes and disheveled hair.

This young man was not big, his face was stained, he had thin arms and legs, and there were many whip marks on his body. The rolled flesh was all scarred, and he stood motionless.

At this time, he seemed to notice that someone was looking at him. The young man's blank eyes slightly raised their eyes and looked at Li Lianpeng outside the cage.

Li Lianpeng was slightly startled when he stared at her.

What a look!

Hollow, numb, dead silence, and a deep sense of death!

Maybe from the moment he was trafficked and put in a cage, he gave up any hope for his entire life.

"Make a price."

Li Lianpeng and the young man looked at each other for a long time, then turned to look at the trafficker and said.

The trafficker, who had a treacherous look on his face, smiled and held out five fingers, "No more, 50 taels!" "Deal!"

"My son is refreshing!"

"Stop talking nonsense and let him go." Li Lianpeng said impatiently. Ever since he came to this human city, he had become particularly irritable.

"Got it!"

The slave trader responded nonchalantly, took out a bunch of keys, and after fussing for a long time, he opened the door of the cage, and said in a low voice to the young man inside who had to occupy a cage alone because he was too fierce:

"Come out. If you dare to escape secretly again when you get to the master's house this time, you will die!"

After scolding him fiercely, the man turned his head and looked at Li Lianpeng. He immediately changed his face and said with a flattering smile:

"Sir, I'll leave this to you."

Li Lianpeng nodded and looked at the boy, "What's your name?"

"Ding……"

The young man just uttered one word when he was interrupted by the trafficker on the side: "Ding Shisan!"

Seeing Li Lianpeng looking over, the trafficker with sharp ears and monkey cheeks quickly explained:
"Sir, this slave doesn't have a name. He only has a number plate. This boy is ranked No. 13 in our place, so everyone calls him Ding Shisan."

"Ding Shisan..."

Li Lianpeng did not doubt that he was there and repeated the sentence before saying: "We will tell you the name later. Are you willing to come with me?"

The young man Ding Shisan shook his head, looked at Li Lianpeng with empty eyes, and said:
"Unless you buy my sister, I will run away."

"Your sister?" Li Lianpeng didn't pay attention to what he said next and looked at the trafficker, "What's going on?"

The trafficker glared at the young man bitterly, then smiled bitterly at Li Lianpeng and said:
"To be honest, young master, this Ding Shisan has been with us for almost two years since he was a prisoner. Every time we sell him, he will sneak back from the owner's house. Unless we His sister is hiding, but we at Yaxing really haven’t seen his sister!”

"Working in our industry is very stressful. Not only do we have to deal with government inspections, but we also have to be responsible for our customers. He always sneaks back after the other party has paid, which has caused us a lot of trouble and damaged our reputation. "

The trafficker made no secret of his bitterness, "Later, after a long investigation, we found out that this young man's sister had been bought by other colleagues and sold to a brothel."

At this time, the young man suddenly spoke, looked at the trafficker coldly, and said:
"You're lying! My sister is obviously here with you!"

Li Lianpeng had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing. Seeing that the other party refused to tell the truth, he suddenly became thoughtful.

Su Xiaoyong came over with two teenage girls at this time, looked at the boy in the cage, and asked:
"How about it? Have we reached an agreement?"

Just now, Li Lianpeng said that he wanted to go shopping alone, and asked Su Xiaoyong and Li Lianhua to help them buy two pairs of boys and girls respectively.

Su Xiaoyong is a woman who helps buy the maids in the house, while Li Lianhua takes over the task of buying and doing chores.

At this time, Su Xiaoyong had already selected two young girls with good looks to come over. Li Lianhua was probably still looking for suitable candidates, but no one was seen.

Li Lianpeng looked at the two little girls behind her, nodded and said, "We did encounter some trouble."

After he made it clear in a few words, Su Xiaoyong thought for a moment and said: "In this case, let's buy this young man first, and we will discuss other matters after discussion."

"Okay." Li Lianpeng never paid, just waiting for Su Xiaoyong and others to come over.

Seeing what Su Xiaoyong said, he quickly paid. Although 50 taels was a lot, a living person was worth so much money, and Li Lianpeng didn't feel bad at all.

After paying the money, Li Lianpeng looked at the young man standing motionless in the cage and said gently:

"Come with us. As for your sister, after you settle down in my house first, I will take you to find her."

The trafficker on the side quickly answered: "Yes, Ding Shisan, don't be stupid. This young master is a kind-hearted person at first glance. If you follow him, your life will be good in the future."

"..." Young man Ding Shisan looked at Li Lianpeng's beautiful eyes for a long time and nodded.

"I'll go with you."
