Xin Yue was very angry, very angry. There was such a waste of people. A good-looking woman was put on the table with her flesh exposed and led around like an animal. If she walked a little slower, she would be whipped.
Not only was she angry, Xiaoya, Xiaowu, Xiaomiao, Southeast and Northwest were all bizarrely angry. Those damn Hu merchants treated people as human beings. Even if they were selling slaves, they didn't lift up their clothes for everyone to see. Datang
How could there be such a disgusting scene? The elderly servant girl quickly covered the eyes of these young ladies for fear of dirtying them.
Those evil-looking men kept talking all kinds of obscene words to the stage. Xin Yue glared at Hypatia who led her group to the auction house.
Hypatia didn't seem to care about the chaos at all. She sat in the box and drank tea leisurely. From time to time, she muttered something to Higurashi beside her. Her words seemed to be commenting on the figures of those Orchids.
Xin Yue gave Na Ni Mu a slap in the face without thinking. She had learned nothing from Hypatia. Seeing Na Ni Mu obediently following behind her, she didn't dare to raise her head or look at the Hu on the stage.
I was so angry that I calmed down a little.
A Hu Shang with a white cloth on his head muttered something, and a female slave wrapped in a cloth sheet appeared naked in front of everyone.
Xiao Wu was so angry that he picked up the plate and threw it on the table. The wealthy businessman dodged. It seemed that this happened often, so he didn't care. After bowing, he continued to introduce the dish in Chinese.
How white the woman's skin is, how graceful her figure is, and so on.
"Xinyue, don't be angry. This is how slaves are bought and sold. This is the Tang Dynasty, and they have restrained themselves a lot. If in my hometown, it is much more excessive than this, look, you are not the only one in the place.
Official ladies, those with veils hanging down, can be seen by others. You can also see them. You must know that in the West, this is the privilege of the nobility."
"Hypatia, no wonder my husband said that it was not unfair at all for you to be thrown into the Colosseum to fight with lions. You have none of the kindness that a woman should have. You will never dare to say strange things to Xiaoya, Xiaowu and the others again.
, just try to live."
Seeing that Xin Yue was really angry, Hypatia could only stick out her tongue and whisper: "Let's pick two and take them back. Let's treat them as free. They are all slaves in the West, maybe they are war slaves from Israel."
, that race was bought and sold by others, this is the original sin."
Xin Yue laughed, pointed at the dozen women in the field and said: "I don't care whether they are original sins or not. Those people look similar to you, and two of them have golden hair. I like it.
, it’s not a big deal to buy them all and release them. Hypatia, this is the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, there is no such thing as killing people casually. If there is a grudge, just chop it off with a knife. The court has to cover up the curtain to kill the guilty woman. Old
Zhao!"
Lao Zhao hurriedly came over and lowered his hands, waiting for his wife to speak.
"Those women bought them all and took them home. No one is missing. We will also buy back the ones we sold to others. We just need more money. If you dare not give them, let Dongyu go!"
After a while, Xin Yue saw Lao Zhao getting on the stage with a shy belly, followed by several guards, each holding a large piece of cloth to cover the slave girl's body. After that, Lao Zhao said to the slave merchant:
"How many more are there? My family bought them all."
"That's all. They have been sold. If you want them, you have to wait until the next ship comes." Seeing the Yun family's guards, the slave merchant already knew that something was wrong, because Old Zhao smiled very sinisterly.
.
"I have bought these female slaves. Brother, if you want them, just wait for the next batch." A tall and thin man stood up. He seemed to be in charge.
Without even looking at the man, Lao Zhao opened the curtain on the stage, looked back, and found that there were indeed no female slaves, so he was satisfied and prepared to take these women out.
"Brother, we are all from the Tang Dynasty. There must be people who come first, first served. My master wants this batch of people. You want to wait for the next batch." The man got up from his seat and stopped in front of Old Zhao.
Lao Zhao didn't hear his wife's words to stop, so he pushed the man away and continued to walk out. The Yun family wanted to buy a few female slaves and when would they wait for the next batch. He didn't even bother to explain, not to mention that the man was dressed in black. He didn't know.
The wealthy locals who came there explained to him that they had lost all their wealth.
The slave merchant chased after him and begged Lao Zhao to return the slave girl to him. Seeing that his hairy hand was about to touch him, Lao Zhao was furious and kicked him out, hitting the slave merchant's calf with his thousand-layer cowhide boots.
It was not a serious crime by any means. The slave trader wailed, fell to the ground, and loudly spoke a series of incomprehensible words.
When the man in black saw that Lao Zhao was not showing any dignity, he shouted, and immediately a dozen men also in black rushed up to him. The Yun family never fights with others, and the guards took out their crossbows from their back waists.
, so he started shooting, because it was in public, it was not easy to kill people, and all he got was his thighs.
The man in black was considered a tough guy. Both legs were hit by crossbow arrows. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you leave a reputation as a good man, I can also pass on a reputation to you gentlemen."
Dongyu laughed when he heard this, lifted up the man in black, and hit the man in black with his huge bald head three times in a row. He threw the man in black away like mud and followed Lao Zhao.
Out of the auction house.
The auction house has become famous since Yun Ye bought the colored glaze in Xinghuafang. Soon, this method of buying and selling was accepted by the wealthy merchants of the Tang Dynasty. Wherever there is a city, there is an auction house. Now
The items auctioned can be said to be all kinds of exotic, from the earliest rare treasures, to precious jade, calligraphy and painting, porcelain and antiques, to large quantities of various goods. Nowadays, even people can be auctioned on the stage.
Xin Yue happily led her army and planned to kill everyone in Yangzhou today. She went on a shopping spree. Who knew that before she could buy the silk, satin and powder she wanted, people started to be sold here, and it was so disgusting, Xipa
Tia also said that this was common in the West, which made Xin Yue despise the entire West.
The women were all taken to Xin Yue's box. As soon as they entered, they huddled up and hid in the corner, shivering, not knowing what fate would await them.
Hypatia knew Hebrew, but she didn't know what she said, and those women knelt at Xin Yue's feet and kissed her shoes.
"They said that they eat very little, can do a lot of work, and can also weave blankets. They will definitely work hard and don't dare to be lazy. They just ask the owner not to sell themselves." Hypatia said to Xin Yue carelessly.
.
Xin Yue had never heard such humble words before, and she was not used to it. She waved her hands and said, "Okay, you poor people, the Yun family doesn't lack your little food, and they don't want you to live day and night."
You just have to do your job well."
"Hey, Xin Yue, slaves are used to work. The more work they do, the greater your income will be. Waste in Egypt is also the original sin. Xin Yue, you are not a qualified hostess."
"Please stop putting your things in the Tang Dynasty. Whether you are a qualified hostess or not, my husband has the final say. Hypatia, are you really not planning to get married in this life? You are already twenty-four years old.
Look at me, my child is five years old, how will you live alone in the future?" Xin Yue has always been wary of the coquettish Hypatia, wishing that she would find someone to marry tomorrow.
"Haha, I have been married to knowledge, and I have been married to books all my life. When I think about it alone in books, I forget about loneliness and desolation. But when the west wind blows, I always can't smell my hometown.
This makes me very sad. I have to come to Lingnan this time just because I want to see in Guangzhou. If there are business travelers from the west who can bring the news of my life back to Egypt, what will those who love me be like?
joy."
Xiaoya ignored the intrigue between the two adults and took a piece of mung bean cake and handed it to a girl who looked very young. The girl hesitated for a long time and wolfed down the cake with Xiaoya's encouragement. It looked like
Having been hungry for a long time, Xiaoya, filled with sympathy, gave all the snacks on the table to the female slaves, signaling them to eat them all.
Xin Yue waited for a while and saw that the owner of the auction house seemed to have no intention of continuing the business, and no one came to seek revenge. She felt it was boring, so she ordered Lao Zhao to go home. Seeing that it was getting late, her husband should also get up early.
Ming Si is back.
She didn't remember to pay the bill, so Old Zhao naturally forgot about it. Madam bought a lot of things today, and those people should come to ask for the bill. When the time comes, ask, who is the guy who dares to talk nonsense? This expenditure at home,
It will fall on their heads.
Ever since he heard about what happened at the auction, Zheng Shuang laughed very happily. The maritime merchants have now formed a gang to fight against him. Although the Zheng family has official officials in Yangzhou, they are helpless against these desperadoes.
Over the years, these guys have made further progress in the Yangzhou market and gradually monopolized the trading of seafood. If they want any seafood, they need to consult Qiu Ning. This kind of government-business relationship is not normal at all.
The Yun family is different. He is Marquis Wu, and there are many warriors in the family who are not afraid of death. The most important thing is that the Lingnan Navy has a battalion stationed here. As long as they are merchants traveling by sea, who would not look at the Yun family?
There are some ignorant fools who dare to offend Xin Yue. They are seeking death. The dignified royal wife of the court, her rank is probably not much worse than that of Master Biejia. The matter of using a guillotine on someone's thigh in Chang'an has long been a matter of Marquis Wu.
Not many people don’t know what a role model a domestic woman is.
Just watch the fun by yourself and just stir up dissension. Once Yun Ye discovers it, all your efforts will be in vain. (To be continued...)
