The sun was shining brightly at noon, and the hot summer wind was blowing through the streets. Although there were many people in the Shiyuan City Vegetable Market Square, the number of street vendors selling fruits and vegetables was ten times less than in previous years.
The reason for this result is naturally the Xuanyang Sect's persecution of the villagers on the outskirts of Shiyuan City, which made those who used to carry burdens to do business in the city all subject to others.
Xuanyang Sect now controls the northern towns and monopolizes the economic lifeline of Shiyuan City. If you want to do business in Shiyuan City, you must first obtain permission from Xuanyang Sect.
However, today, many passers-by gathered in the Shiyuan City Food Market Square, because the residents of Shiyuan City all know that today is a "good day" for Xuanyang Universal.
People who were bewitched by the Xuanyang Sect and wanted to rent free slaves and seek benefits from the Xuanyang Sect naturally gathered in the vegetable market square and waited for the arrival of the Xuanyang Sect's Taoist Priest.
"Xuanyang is universal, all people are revived, believers worship the sun, and the world is blessed."
Three Xuanyang Taoists in green robes once again led a dozen or so educated villagers to the square.
Hearing the familiar shouting, the residents of Shiyuan City gathered around Xuanyang Taoist at a very fast speed as usual to check out today's slave goods.
However, today is different from the past. When the residents of Ishihara City crowded around, they were instantly stunned. To be sure, they were stunned by the two breathtakingly beautiful slave girls!
"So...so beautiful...they are also...our female slaves? The female slaves given to us by the Xuanyang Religion?"
"Who are they? Where did Xuanyang Religion find such beautiful women? Are they also sinners? Are they sinners who need to be redeemed by good people like us in ten generations?"
"I have seen them! They are girls from Liujia Village on the outskirts of Lingdu City!" a man exclaimed. The two stunning girls are northern beauties praised by local residents as peerless twins.
"Beautiful! So beautiful! I didn't expect Xuanyang Cult to bring us such beautiful slaves. How good! How wonderful!" A rich old man with gorgeous clothes salivated and praised the two girls: "A pure and pure woman.
I feel pity for you when I see her, she is so beautiful and elegant."
"Boss Jia, I won't let you succeed this time. I want both of these two stunning women!" A middle-aged man suddenly squeezed out of the crowd and said to the wealthy old man beside him without hesitation.
"Beautiful Chu Chu, only those who have the ability will live there. The head of the Wang family, Boss Jia, I will go all out for this bidding. If I offend you, please forgive me." A man of eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in brocade and trousers.
The young man stared directly at the two female slaves detained by Xuanyang Taoist.
The rich old man and the middle-aged man couldn't help but frown when they heard this.
The young man's family is very wealthy. He is a well-known dandy in Ishihara City. He is a romantic all the time. He married four wives and had seven concubines before he was eighteen years old. The house at home is full of maids and singers, and the brothel is full of beauties.
Every girl will be toyed with by his redeemer...
Because of this, young men have always been indifferent to the vulgarity brought by the Xuanyang Sect.
However, the situation changed today. Xuanyang Taoist actually showed up with two top beauties.
Although the two beauties were in ragged clothes, looked very embarrassed, and were covered in stains, even so, they still could not conceal their innate beauty.
The young man thought he had dated countless women, but he was still amazed by the two beauties in front of him. He sincerely lamented that most of his life had been in vain and he had blindly married a bunch of crooked wives and concubines.
To be honest, the young man at this time was very envious of the Taoist priests of the Xuanyang Sect. He had seen countless women, so he naturally knew that the two stunning slaves were no longer innocent. Judging from their humble and lost looks, they probably suffered worse than the women in the brothel.
Tragic, brutal treatment by the Xuanyang Sect...
The three richest men in Shiyuan City gathered together and geared up to compete for the female slaves who had been taught by Xuanyang.
However, just as they were secretly competing to talk to each other, they heard a loud snapping sound.
Xuanyang Taoist raised his hand and slapped one of the female slaves hard. The residents of Shiyuan City who were watching heard a touching scream.
The woman who was slapped to the ground got up in panic, with tears in her eyes. She knelt and crawled to the green-robed Taoist, hugged his thigh and begged: "Don't hit me, please don't hit me.
I will be very obedient and will listen to whatever you ask me to do. Please don’t hit me. I will serve you well and do anything for you."
At this time, the green-robed Taoist stretched out his hand and caressed the woman's face seemingly gently.
Everyone saw the girl shrinking her shoulders in fear, then kneeling on the ground like a well-trained puppy, holding the green-robed Taoist's hand and kissing it.
"A stunningly beautiful woman has become a slave. Alas..." Some residents lamented sadly. They knew in their hearts that they were poor scholars and had no capital to bid for slave girls from wealthy families. At this time, they saw a pure and pure woman reduced to a slave of Xuanyang Cult.
The slave can only be sour and jealous.
On the other hand, the three richest men in Shiyuan City were even more ecstatic when they saw a woman who was pitiful to everyone, fawning over the Xuanyang Taoist priest. Because they couldn't help but think that if they took the pretty woman home, they would be able to enjoy all the blessings.
, happiness is better than the gods.
"Dear nobles of Shiyuan City, because the slaves were kidnapped by heretics last time, Venerable Xuanyang, in order to apologize to all the good people of ten generations, decided to let us bring these two women who brought disaster to the world to Shiyuan City and accept you
A gift from a noble person. They will devote themselves to everyone... for three months!" said the green-robed Taoist Priest Hanhan.
"Three months!" The residents of Shiyuan City were overjoyed. In the past, the Xuanyang Sect rented out slaves for a few days or more than ten days, but this time it was actually three months. If they could bid for a beauty, wouldn't they be able to live in a dream for three months?
months!
"Dear gentlemen, like the two female sinners last time, they will be punished in pairs to atone for their sins. I hope that the good people of Shiyuan City will redeem them." The green-robed Taoist pulled the woman who was kneeling to beg for mercy forward: "Then
… All distinguished ladies, please invite me.”
Having said that, the green-robed Taoist spread his hands and invited the residents of Shiyuan City to start their performance.
"I am willing to donate one hundred taels of silver to the Xuanyang Sect!" The residents of Shiyuan City were very excited. They have never seen such a beautiful woman in their entire lives. Now if they can get both, take them home and enjoy them for three months, they will be able to enjoy them for the rest of their lives.
My life was not in vain.
"One hundred and ten taels!"
"I'll donate one hundred and fifty!"
As soon as the green-robed Taoist finished speaking, the residents of Shiyuan City became impatient and took out their pockets and money bills one after another, hoping to redeem the two stunning beauties regardless of losing their entire family.
However, just when the residents of Stone Plain City took out their land deeds as donations.
"Two thousand taels." The head of the Wang family, one of the richest men in Shiyuan City, couldn't sit still. As soon as he spoke, the residents of Shiyuan City who were bidding enthusiastically suddenly stopped and were shocked by the rich man's lavish spending.
However, the residents of Shiyuan City knew deep down that the rich would never miss out on seeing such a stunning beauty. The residents of Shiyuan City were just bidding for a chance to win... They were just deceiving themselves and others.
"Two thousand five hundred taels." The wealthy old man raised the price in a leisurely manner. He knew very well that the only opponents who could compete with him were the head of the Wang family of Shiyuan City and the hereditary marquis Zhu family.
"Three thousand five hundred taels." The head of the Wang family shouted through gritted teeth, as if he was sure that he would spend a fortune on the beauty.
"Five thousand taels!" Mr. Zhu took out a large stack of banknotes from his arms and waved them in front of everyone in a show of force.
"Five thousand one hundred taels!" The rich old man's wrinkled face trembled slightly, and his heart was bleeding, but... in order to enjoy the beauty's kindness, he had no choice but to risk it all.
"Five thousand one hundred and ten taels." The head of the Wang family didn't dare to be as grand as before, and he made thousands of taels in advance as soon as he made a move.
"Five thousand five hundred taels." Mr. Zhu bid with confidence, believing that the two beauties were almost certain to belong to him, because his family is a hereditary marquis, and his ancestors were rewarded by the late emperor. Although he has no real power now, his family wealth is
There are quite a few, far from being comparable to businessmen and wealthy families.
However, just when Mr. Zhu was secretly proud, a gentle male voice made the three richest men in Shiyuan City tremble.
"Twenty thousand taels."
A long-bearded old man with simple clothes and an arrogant expression has become famous even without making a sound.
After hearing this, everyone looked at him one after another. At first, seeing his simple clothes, they couldn't help but sneer at him, thinking that this old guy was just yelling randomly.
However, the long-bearded old man clapped his hands, and when the four strong men standing behind him came forward carrying two large boxes full of silver bricks, everyone present took a breath. This is really... a million dollars!
"He... who is he?" The young master of the Zhu family panicked. He didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would appear on the way.
The head of the Wang family and Boss Jia looked at each other and shook their heads, saying that they had never seen this person before.
"I've seen him! I know who he is! He is Uncle Wan from Lingdu City!" a passerby exclaimed.
"What are you talking about! He is the Master Wan of Lingdu City who even the northern princes are afraid of?" Another passerby exclaimed.
"Yes! That's him! I've heard a long time ago that Uncle Wan fell in love with two girls from Liujiacun, but...the two beauties were kidnapped by thieves, which made him feel very distressed. He probably got the news and heard that Xuan
The Yang Cult brought the beauties from Liujia Village to Shiyuan City, so they brought their money to bid for slaves."
"I see... Alas, it's such a pity that these two beauties have become the playthings of the world."
While the passers-by were talking to each other with emotion, the green-robed Taoist from the Xuanyang Sect stepped forward to check the silver, and then shouted and praised: "Very good! This master is willing to donate 20,000 taels of silver to the Xuanyang Sect.
If you nobles of Ishihara City have no objections, then I will dedicate these two sinners to this master."
As soon as the green-robed Taoist said this, the head of the Wang family, Boss Jia, and Mr. Zhu were all anxious. Although they could all scrape together 20,000 taels of silver,... that would lead to bankruptcy.
To be honest, if someone asked the three heads of the Wang family whether it was worth it for the three heads of the Wang family to donate 20,000 taels of silver in exchange for being with two stunning women for three months? The three richest men would probably unanimously agree that it was very worth it!
