After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Not long after the conversation between the two ended, the women and children of the Lu family were brought to the high platform by Guan Ya.

They were not as bruised as Lu Huaiyi and his son, but because of the sudden imprisonment, their mental outlook was also extremely poor.

Yu Zizhen noticed that all of them had untidy hair and clothes. Most importantly, looking at the damaged state of their clothes, it was obvious that they were not disheveled because of torture.

A not-so-good guess came to mind, and a few wisps of murderous intent suddenly leaked out of Yu Zizhen's eyes.

She secretly said to herself that if things were as bad as she suspected, then she would definitely send those maggots in the pit back to where they belonged.

While she was gritting her teeth in her heart, the auction on the stage had officially begun.

A total of seven people from the Lu family were auctioned, including Lu Huaiyi's wife Pang, daughters-in-law Zheng and Liang, daughter Lu Mingxian, youngest son Lu Mingzhuo, and grandsons Lu Wenzheng and Lu Wenbo.

In addition to Yu Zizhen, there was a small group of people at the scene who were eager to buy these seven people. They were Lu Huaiyi's nephews Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingyuan, as well as the original Lu family servants: housekeeper Lu Fu, Pang's nanny Qin, and three The disabled Lu family guards Lu Tie, Lu Shan and Lu Dazhuang.

Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingyuan are brothers. Their parents died young and their family property was misappropriated by their uncles. When they were desperate, they were brought back by General Lu who happened to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and they were raised as their own children.

When the Lu family was in danger, General Lu asked them to take their wives and children away. They sent their wives and children to Yue's family, but they themselves began to take risks and run for Lu Huaiyi's family.

Although their efforts did not achieve any results, they still did not give up and continued their efforts.

Now, the only thing they can do is to collect money to buy someone.

The old wife of Lu Fu, the housekeeper who lived with the two brothers, passed away and their children were all married. The Pang family's nurse, Qin, had no children after her husband died young.

The three disabled Lu family guards, Lu Tie, Lu Shan, and Lu Dazhuang, were originally servants of the Lu family. They practiced martial arts with General Lu since they were young. When they grew up, they went to the battlefield with General Lu. After being injured, General Lu stayed in the Lu family as slaves. The guard.

Also in the same situation as them were the brothers Lu Ping and Lu An, who were exiled with General Lu.

These five people appreciated General Lu's kindness and handed over the old, weak, women and children at home to their sons, while they stayed behind to share the difficulties with the Lu family.

In addition, Lu Mingzhe’s long-term follower Wu Shun, Lu Mingheng’s long-term follower Wu An, Lu Mingzhuo’s young men Wubao and Liushun, and Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingyuan’s personal followers Lu Zhong and Lu Yong are all alone, with no relatives and no marriage. A lonely man with a wife and children.

These people have no worries and are ready to risk their lives for the Lu family.

As for those who had relatives who needed care, after the Lu family returned their deeds, they had already left early with their families.

If this is what the Lu family wants, they don't want to implicate more people because of this sudden disaster.

Even for the group of people who insisted on staying, the Lu family had actually advised them to leave Beijing as soon as possible and not to go into troubled waters.

But these people felt that even if they were not of great use, they could still take care of Lu Huaiyi and his son in exile, and the women and children of the Lu family who were about to be sold by the government.No, after Lu Huaiyi and his son took the brothers Lu Ping and Lu An away from Beijing, those who were responsible for leaving behind the women and children of the Lu family after they divided the work internally hurriedly collected some money and prepared to rob them. As soon as the auction started, buy as many women and children as possible from the Lu family.

With the system as a cheating device, of course Yu Zizhen had known about the existence of this group of people for a long time, but considering that the Lu family would secretly instruct their henchmen to jump out and fight against the Lu family, Yu Zizhen did not immediately contact the Lu family and express his position. .

She has already thought about how she will act aloof and willful later, and no matter who it is, they will not be able to compete with her.

While Yu Zizhen was staring at the bidders with his eyes like a torch, silently firing death waves at them, Yu Heng had already begun to quote prices in a serious manner.

She made her quotation when only the last two groups of people were left to bid. This was what Yu Zizhen taught her, because this way she could waste as little saliva as possible.

One group bidding against her was the aforementioned branch of the Lu family, and the other group was a middle-aged steward and a group of young servants surrounding him.

Yu Zizhen stared at them for a long time, but he couldn't find their faces from the corners of his memory. He didn't know whether the person behind them deliberately chose unfamiliar faces to do this, or whether the other party's master had a low status. Not to the point where she can lead people around in front of her.

But no matter what kind of person you are, if you dare to steal someone from her, don't blame her for using her tricks secretly.If she can't solve the problem, can't she also solve the person who caused the problem?

Waving to Yao Guang to come over, Yu Zizhen muttered a few words to her, and then used his sleeves to hide it and stuffed something into her.

Yao Guang nodded to show that she understood. In the worried eyes of Feng Yuan and others, she stood up and walked around behind the middle-aged steward and the servants he brought.

The group of middle-aged stewards who were bidding with others with their chins raised, did not notice Yao Guang, whose footsteps were as light as a cat. Naturally, they also did not notice that Yao Guang had something like smoke in his little hand when he passed behind them. Fine powder drifted towards their mouths and noses in the wind.

After completing the task, Yaoguang pretended to go to the hut. When she came back, she gave Yu Zizhen a little look for praise that the task had been completed.

Yu Zizhen touched her head, and then fed the antidote as a candy ball to the cute little Yaoguang.

At this time, the first wave of bidding had ended. Yu Heng, who bid on behalf of the Zhenbei Palace, finally bought Lu Huaiyi's grandson Lu Wenbo at a high price of 180 taels of silver.

The other bidders, who were mainly onlookers and supplemented by joining in the fun, were secretly looking at Yu Zizhen and the three groups of people who had been insisting on bidding with the eyes of fools.

180 taels, that’s 180 taels. According to the normal market conditions, this much money is enough for them to buy ten legitimate teenagers. If they are buying a three-headed little bean sprout like Lu Wenbo, why can’t they buy it? At least fifteen or six.

The morale of the Lu family's branches and servants was low at the moment. They didn't have much money on hand, and they had already spent more than half of it on running for the Lu family.

Lu Huaiyi and his son were exiled with injuries all over their bodies. The two brothers Lu Ping and Lu An who accompanied them had to spend some money to buy medicine for their injuries.

As a result, the amount of money they can afford becomes quite limited. (End of chapter)
