After discussing one thing, Han Du asked about another thing.
"In a few days, I and His Highness will continue sailing west to the legendary Kingdom of Heaven. I wonder if you will wait for my return in Hulumos, or would you like to go with us?"
Fu Yong suddenly laughed, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for taking care of the common people. The common people are willing to go to Tianfang with His Highness the Marquis."
Han Du smiled hoarsely, and then asked, "Why don't you just agree to this without asking other people what they think? You can make the decision for others. I think you should go back and ask them what they think first. Anyway, I
Hou will have to wait a few days before setting off, so he is not in a hurry." .??.
Fu Yong stood up, shook his head and said: "Master Hou, ordinary people know that they will not miss such an opportunity without asking them. Those of us who are maritime merchants, what we want most is to go as far away as possible
Do business in places. Because only the further away the place is, the fewer people will go there, so that the common people can make more profits. Follow the Marquis to Tianfang. This is the Marquis taking care of the common people and they will not disagree.
of."
"Okay." Han Du saw that Fu Yongdu said this, so he believed what he said, "However, all your goods have been sold now. Even if you go to Tianfang, you won't be able to make a profit, right?"
"Hahaha, there is really no way for ordinary people to make profits this time." Fu Yong nodded and said directly: "But it is good for ordinary people to take this opportunity to explore the road. Wait until the next time you go there and you will be familiar with the road."
When Han Du saw that Fu Yong had such thoughts, the worries in his heart completely dissipated. He waved his hand to him and said, "In that case, you should go back and prepare. I estimate that we may set off in a few days."
.”
The woman's slave had been assigned to work for several days, and Han Du felt that she might not be able to hold on for a few more days.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis. The common people will go back and prepare now." Fu Yong saluted Han Du, took two steps back and left the room.
Fu Yong walked to the door and immediately saw the housekeeper and the slave girl waiting outside. He didn't know the slave girl, so he was just stunned for a moment, then raised his head and left.
In Fu Yong's opinion, although this woman is good-looking, her skin is as white as a ghost. She feels a little chilly when she looks at it during the day. What if she is not frightened when she sees her at night? Therefore, he looks like
As if avoiding a ghost, he ran away quickly.
Shi Si then walked out and saw the housekeeper taking the slave girl. The slave girl's face had lost the original rebellious look and became much more submissive.
A smile appeared on Shi Si's face and he said: "Come in, Lord
People are waiting for you."
"Thank you, Master." The butler replied quickly, turned around and said to the slave girl.
The female slave saw that the housekeeper had taken a few steps, but her feet seemed to have taken root and did not move at all.
When the housekeeper noticed that the slave girl did not follow him, he turned around, glared, and cursed fiercely.
The slave girl trembled all over, showing a fearful look, biting her lip and followed step by step behind the housekeeper.
Han Du was lowering his head and planning something, and didn't notice anyone coming in.
Seeing this, Shi Si stepped forward lightly and reminded in a low voice: "Master Marquis, the housekeeper and the slave girl are here." After saying that, he quietly stepped away and waited quietly aside.
Han Du then raised his head and took a quick look at the slave girl. He saw that the slave girl's body was covered in mud and dirt, and her clothes were in tatters.
He smiled and asked: "Now you finally know your identity, right? You are just a slave that I bought with money. Even if I kill you immediately, it is right. So, don't think about it.
Bargain with me, I have all the means to make you surrender and obey me. The reason why I don't use it is because I don't want to use it, not because I don't know how to use it. Do you understand?"
The words were a bit long, and Shi Si relayed them for a long time before the slave girl understood what Han Du meant.
The slave girl was also a person of extraordinary origin. She had never suffered such injustice since she was a child. Han Du's words had torn off all her pride, all her dignity, and all her fig leaves.
The female slave felt a wave of unspeakable humiliation that instantly enveloped her whole body, and she couldn't help crying.
Her crying did not gain Han Du's sympathy, but made Han Du furious. He said in a deep voice: "Shut up, don't cry. If you cry again, I will sell you to a tavern to work as a prostitute. You can take your time there."
cry!"
Han Du's words were extremely intimidating to the female slave. The female slave looked at Han Du with horror on her face and stopped her crying instantly, fearing that she would really be sold there. If she was really sold there.
There, then she will never turn over.
What kind of place is a tavern? Although most of the time, it is a place for drinking. In a tavern, the lowest quality wine is sold, and it is just a place for the lowest people to have fun. But there are also special groups of people in the tavern.
It was the girl who was greeted and escorted in the tavern.
Lang. To put it nicely, these people are girls who serve guests with wine and food. But to put it worse, they are just a group of prostitutes. Faced with rude and cruel mercenaries and sailors, they sometimes cannot refuse their requests at all.
.Some were even executed directly in the tavern, in front of everyone. Moreover, even so, no one would sympathize with them, let alone say a word for them.
The female slave quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and immediately knelt down towards Han Du.
A surprised smile appeared on Shi Si's face. She didn't expect that the slave girl was so afraid of that place. She whispered to Han Du in a low voice: "Master Marquis, she gave in. She swore to Master Marquis with her spirit that she would forever
Be loyal to the Marquis and obey any orders from the Marquis."
Han Du looked at the slave girl coldly, "This is really a candle. It won't light up unless it is lit. If Han Du hadn't seen that there was no suitable candidate besides her, Han Du would not have talked so much with her.
So he sold her."
"Since you have surrendered to me, I will not care about what happened in the past. But remember your oath. If you dare to violate it in the future, I will make your life worse than death!"
When the housekeeper saw that Han Du was angry, he tremblingly led the slave girl to kneel down. Then at Shi Si's signal, he took the slave girl out.
After the housekeeper left with the slave girl, Shi Si asked in a low voice: "Master Marquis, do you believe her like this?"
Han Du looked up at Shi Si and sneered, "I never believe in any oaths. But I believe that if you give her hope at this time, she can at least work for us wholeheartedly for now. Go ahead and ask Fu Yong
Give her some sets of ladies' clothes."
"Yes." Shi Si replied immediately.
Han Du waved his hand and sent Shi Si away. He lowered his head again and said in a deep voice, "Since this slave girl has surrendered, it's time to prepare for going to Tianfang Kingdom without further delay."
Shi Si quickly caught up with the housekeeper and the slave girl, raised his hand and pointed at the slave girl, and said, "You, come with me."
After saying that, he walked towards the outside of the manor with his hands behind his back.
The female slave stood there hesitating, not sure whether she should follow Shi Si. She turned around and wanted to ask the housekeeper for help, but when she turned back, she saw that the housekeeper had already left in another direction and walked out.
Some distance away.
After hesitating for a few breaths, the female slave finally did not follow the housekeeper. Instead, she gritted her teeth and ran towards Shi Si quickly.
Shi Si left the manor with the female slave, walked down the hillside, came to the bay, and boarded the large cargo ship belonging to Fu Yong and others.
This was the first time for the female slave to see such a huge ship with a tall hull. The closer she got, the more she felt a great pressure.
When she and Shi Si boarded the ship together, the slave girl was deeply shocked by the feeling of stepping on the wooden planks as if they were walking on flat ground. She had never boarded such a huge ship.
When Fu Yong got the news of Shi Si's arrival, he immediately stood on the deck to greet him. When he saw Shi Si stepping down from the hanging basket, he quickly stepped forward and greeted him: "Master Shi, what kind of wind brought you here? Fu Yongyou
Please forgive me for missing you from afar."
Shi Si laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "I don't have an official position, but I can't be the adult you call me. Besides, this is not the first time we have met, Mr. Fu, so why are you making fun of me?"
Fu Yong smiled and agreed: "For us, an official position is as difficult as climbing to the sky. But for you, Mr. Shi, it is easy to get. That is to say, you are not willing to work in the Old Port Governor's Mansion, otherwise you would have
I already have an official position."
Shi Si smiled and said: "Dong Fu, you think highly of me. It is my brother who works in the Governor's Mansion in Old Port. In terms of talents, I dare not compare with my brother. So, Dong Fu, please don't call me "Sir" in the future.
If it spreads out, wouldn’t it make people laugh?"
"No!" Fu Yong shook his head repeatedly, "On the contrary, in my opinion, Lord Shi has a greater future than Brother Ling, and your official position is nothing to you."
"Then I hope you will give me the best of luck." Shi Si was not a saint, but of course he still had a desire for fame and wealth.
Fu Yong came closer with a smile and whispered: "Master Shi is not asking for my good wishes, but for the great blessings of the Marquis."
Shi Si immediately understood what Fu Yong meant. In fact, he also knew this. He nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "What Mr. Fu said makes sense, makes sense!"
"We are acquaintances, and since I saw Master Shi today, I might as well tell him something." Fu Yong looked into Shi Si's eyes and said with a smile.
Shi Si suddenly became curious and said with a chuckle: "If Mr. Fu has any advice, it doesn't matter. Shi Si is all ears."
Fu Yong showed a satisfied smile on his face, stroked his beard and said: "Master Hou and I have known each other very early."
As soon as Fu Yong opened his mouth, Shi Si was shocked. Originally, he thought that Fu Yong was a large merchant and a wealthy owner, but he never knew that he and the Marquis had known each other for a long time.
