Chapter 243 Slave City (2)
The fat guy knows Her Highness the Princess.
Also, Shang Ran is now wearing armor and has a heroic appearance. Looking at the entire Jinhua City, she is the only girl general of her age. Anyone who is not blind or deaf knows her.
Jin Ling looked at Shang Ran.
"I can only guarantee you, as for the money," Shang Ran's face turned red.
She has a proud personality. Since joining the army, she has never accepted any other property from the royal family. She only relies on her monthly salary in the military camp. Now, she really doesn't have much money.
"Don't worry, I can solve it."
The two of them were talking privately. The sergeants who were sold were all immortals with sharp eyes and ears, and they probably heard the conversation. After hearing the young man brazenly saying that he wanted them to buy them all, and the two of them
People, one is a princess, and the other seems to hear the princess calling him, Jin Ling?
This guy’s surname is Jin?
The sergeants originally had immortal powers, and as immortals, they should be respected by the whole people. However, because they served under the bereaved family of the previous dynasty, they were now reduced to such a situation, reduced to being sold as immortal slaves in the market. They all felt that their lives were gloomy and their future was gloomy.
Hopeless.
Now, a boy said that he wants to buy them all?
His surname is Jin? What is his relationship with the previous dynasty?
"Man, to be honest, Her Royal Highness and I were ordered by the eldest prince to go to this slave market to find some immortal slaves to use as bait to hunt down a ferocious and huge demonic wolf deep in the Lingshan Mountain." Jin Ling turned around.
Guo Xiang Shangran said, "Your Highness, is this true?"
"Yes, yes." Shang Ran said.
"Hey, you two have an honorable status, and His Royal Highness the eldest prince is now the supervisor of the country." The fat guy has lived in Jinhua City for a long time and knows the family affairs of the royal family very well, "But when you buy things, you have to give money.
"
He could already see that the two people in front of him became uneasy after hearing the price. They probably didn't have the money to pay.
"Brother, listen to me first." Jin Ling said, "His Highness only ordered us to find the person and did not give us money. So, can you hand the person over to us first? The money will be dealt with by the royal family in the future.
I will settle the matter with you."
He said this so confidently that Shang Ran next to him heard it and couldn't help but blush.
"Your Highness, there is also this young master." The fat boy said with a bitter face, "I am just a boy looking for help in the store. For this kind of thing, I have to ask the shopkeeper."
"Where is the shopkeeper?" Shang Ran asked.
"If there is no big deal, he usually doesn't come. The store is run by a villain. At the end of each month, the villain reports the month's income and expenditure and the profit to him, and also hands over the profit to him."
said.
"You don't usually come? Then you go find him and say I'm looking for him." Shang Ran showed off the majesty of a princess.
"Yes, yes." The fat boy hurriedly went.
There were three other waiters waiting inside and outside the store.
Jin Ling walked up to the Xiannu sergeants and glanced at them again, "In what army did you originally serve?"
The sergeants looked at each other and hesitated.
"What's the matter, you've fallen into this situation, is it necessary to hide your origins? I'm afraid it should be written clearly in your slave contract document. I'll ask in advance.
Refuse to say?" Jin Ling said.
"This young master." The oldest of the sergeants, a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties and quite dignified, stood up, "We are the fairy sergeants who were originally stationed in the fourth battalion of the first guard in the northern border of the kingdom. I am
Battalion Commander Zhao Jianming, intermediate immortal master."
"Looking at your age, even if you join the army at birth, you may not be able to join the army of the previous dynasty. Why are you being treated as a member of the army of the previous dynasty and sold as a prisoner of immortal slaves?" Jin Ling asked.
"Alas." Zhao Tianming's body was stained with blood and he was wearing heavy shackles on his hands and feet. He sighed, "To be honest with this young master, the former commander of the First Guards, General Wei Tianji Wei, was promoted by Jin Nanshan during the previous dynasty.
.At the time of the change of dynasties, General Wei Tianji led the guards to surrender to King Shang. In order to stabilize the morale of the military and the people and create his own enlightened image, King Shang continued to make General Wei the commander of the guards. General Wei has always fulfilled his duties and guarded the King of Jin.
The northern border has never been different."
"I
These people are all the backbone of the Guards who have been promoted by General Wei in recent years. Ten years ago, the Kingdom's Ministry of War, the Left General Tong Jinian, also served as the left minister of the Ministry of War, and falsely accused General Wei of having the former dynasty in mind and colluding with the Jin family.
, he was arrested and imprisoned on trumped-up charges, and was directly executed in prison, and also forged his confession of rebellion. Subsequently, the entire family of forty-six members of the Wei family were executed, leaving no chickens or dogs behind."
"After the death of General Wei, the First Guard was also cleaned up. The commander of the guard, the deputy commander and some upper-level officers were all replaced by children. It turned out that the upper-level officers promoted by General Wei were arrested and killed on the same charge of treason.
, or were imprisoned for inexplicable crimes, and some low-ranking officers and sergeants who were not close to dangerous generals, like us, were sold as immortal slaves to earn some military expenses for the Ministry of War."
"Actually, we were all wronged. Including General Wei, we really surrendered to the King of Shang in order to save the people from fighting! How could we think of treason again after everyone has been content and contented for so many years?
All of them were framed by Tong Jinian in order to fight for power!"
So that was it. Jin Ling knew it.
After a while, the fat guy came with a fatter man who was even more jeweled.
The fat man knew more etiquette than the other guys. As soon as he entered the door, he bowed to Shang Ran and said, "Your Majesty Wu Tong, I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"I'm an official? Are you an official?" Shang Ran asked in surprise. According to the laws of the kingdom, officials are not allowed to do business.
"The lower official is an eighth-level and fifteenth-level official affiliated to the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War. His duty is to sell the slaves obtained by the Ministry of War in the war. On the one hand, it raises military expenses for the Ministry of War, and on the other hand, it also provides slaves for wealthy families in need.
.Indeed, due to the laws of the kingdom, it is inconvenient to go in and out of this place, so I only let this guy take care of it. He usually does not dare to reveal my true identity." Wu Tong said.
It turns out that the boss is an official from the Ministry of War, so things will be much easier to handle.
"Master Wu, Boss Wu, now, under the orders of the king, I am going to use this group of immortal soldiers to do things. Do you think it's okay?" Shang Ran was very unaccustomed and artificially displayed the dignity of a superior.
"When Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to employ people, the Ministry of War will naturally support them. Which one does Her Royal Highness the Princess want?" Wu Tong said.
"Everything." Before Shang Ran could speak, Jin Ling spoke first.
"All?" Wu Tong suspected that he heard wrongly.
"Yes, all of them." Shang Ran said, "The fat guy just said that there are thirty-seven sergeants in this batch, and I want them all."
"Your Highness the Princess." Wu Tong looked troubled, "If you want one or two, that's fine. Now that all thirty-seven people have been taken away, it will be difficult for me to explain to the superior officer of the Ministry of War."
Shang Ran's face darkened.
"Your Highness, the two of us are the Ministry of War giving face to Your Highness." Wu Tong saw this and his face became even more bitter. "If you really want so many people, you will either have to produce His Highness's decree to supervise the country or spend money."
Yuan Lai buys it. Otherwise, I have received military orders and I really don’t dare to make my own decisions."
