Chapter 111: The Slave Market

After the court dispersed, Lu Xiaobu was instantly surrounded by the nobles of all sizes in the palace, and flattery poured out like a flood. These nobles were all human beings, and anyone who was not blind could see that Lu Xiaobu was

Now he was a popular figure in front of the emperor. He was given an official title and given a palace, and his beloved second daughter was betrothed to Lu Xiaobu. How could the nobles not try their best to please a rising political star like Lu Xiaobu.

At this time, the fat man who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time had already dispersed, but Lu Xiaobu was overwhelmed by the entanglement of these nobles. He ran over and said to Lu Xiaobu: "Boss, what's going on? Your Majesty will give you a seal.

What kind of official? Hey, hey? Isn’t this the awesome high-class person who threw me out of the house yesterday? How could it be such a coincidence?" Then he looked at the man behind Lu Xiaobu, who was only about 160cm tall and weighed

The little nobleman who weighed more than 260 pounds and kept flattering him, the piece of land where Lu Xiaobu planned to establish the Chamber of Commerce was in his hands. Yesterday the fat man went to talk to him, but he actually threw him out of the house. Do you think the fat man can

Aren't you going to cause trouble for him?

When the young nobleman saw Lu Xiaobu looking at him, the sweat on his forehead immediately dropped, and he said sarcastically: "Haha, um... how did I know that this fat man turned out to be Mr. Lu's person? Otherwise, he would have borrowed the money from Mr. Lu.

I don't dare to throw him out even if I'm brave. In order to express my apology to this fat man, I might as well dedicate that piece of land to Mr. Lu. Although it's not worth much, it's still a small gesture of my heart.

, I hope Lord Lu will accept it." He looked at Lu Xiaobu with sincere eyes. Of course, this expression was fake, but the little noble's heart was bleeding secretly now. What is this thing called?

Son? I was also a bitch yesterday. Wouldn't it be over if I just sold it to that fat man? That was nearly 5 million gold coins.

Looking at the performance of this little nobleman, Lu Xiaobu nodded and said: "Since this gentleman is so enthusiastic, I will be disrespectful, kid, but I won't ask for your things in vain. In this way, fat man, you can follow him when you get home later."

This noble nobleman will go through the handover procedures and transfer two million gold coins to this nobleman's amethyst card." After saying that, he ignored the little nobleman who was smiling but was trembling slightly in pain.

The fat man looked at the little noble's expression and felt secretly happy, "Sir, are you pretending to me this time? Not only do you have to sell your shabby land to me this time, but you also have to sell it at a low price, and you're not allowed to show any hint of displeasure."

Expression, otherwise... hum...

Suddenly, the crowd surrounding Lu Xiaobu suddenly dispersed, and the middle-aged fat man who had just spoken for him in the main hall smiled and said to Lu Xiaobu: "Haha, Duke Lu is indeed young and promising.

I don’t know if you have free time tonight. It just so happens that today is my daughter’s birthday. I have prepared a birthday party for my daughter. If Duke Lu has time, he might as well come over and have a look. Hehe, my daughter is thinking about Duke Lu very much.” As he said,

He smiled mysteriously.

Lu Xiaobu was stunned when he said this, and murmured in his heart: "What's going on? Is this middle-aged man also here to sell his daughter to me? Does he care about me so much?" Lu Xiaobu thought about it carefully.

He didn't expect that any girl in the Imperial City would be thinking about him. But because the middle-aged man in front of him helped him in the morning, although it might be a piece of cake for him, Lu Xiaobu could tell that if it weren't for the middle-aged man in front of him,

With what he said, the emperor might have changed his mind. In order to repay the middle-aged man's favor, he had to go to today's party.

Just when Lu Xiaobu was in a daze, he suddenly felt someone stabbing him from behind. He looked at the fat man in confusion and saw that this guy was winking at him and hinting at him. He looked again and still looked at him with a smile.

Lu Xiaobu suddenly understood something and said to the middle-aged man: "Thanks to the Lord for lending a helping hand in the main hall just now, otherwise I am afraid that this boy's duke would not be able to be so smooth. Since

When invited by adults, even if I don’t have time, I have to put aside everything and go to attend your daughter’s birthday party.”

After hearing Lu Xiaobu's answer, the middle-aged man gave a noncommittal "en" and then said: "Well, since Grand Duke Lu has agreed, then the task assigned by my girl can be considered successfully completed, so I won't

Please bother Grand Duke Lu, young people are very good, but you have to guard against arrogance and impetuosity when doing things, and be tactful. Only then can you stand firm in a place like the imperial capital where dragons and snakes are mixed." As he said this, he looked at the people surrounding Lu Xiaobu.

The irritated nobles, big and small, shook their heads and walked out of the crowd.

The nobles, big and small, looked at the slightly fat figure of the middle-aged man. They were quiet for a while and immediately surrounded Lu Xiaobu with an even more enthusiastic attitude than before. This man said that his daughter was as beautiful as a fairy and admired Lu Xiaobu.

For a long time, the niece who said that his niece was versatile and missed Lu Xiaobu very much, asked him to come over to talk to her. This made Lu Xiaobu's head secretly hurt, so he left these things to the fat man to deal with, and went to the imperial city in embarrassment.

Run outside.

Lu Xiaobu, who ran out of the circle of nobles, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and looked behind him with some fear. He saw that the fat man was now like an ignorant girl surrounded by a circle of women. He was touched by this

, the one grabbed Lu Xiaobu and looked at Lu Xiaobu running away with a helpless and aggrieved face.

I silently prayed for the fat man in my heart, hoping that he could drag his body back home before noon. The land of the little nobleman still needed to be handled by him, and the preparations for the chamber of commerce also needed to be handled by him. At this time, the stall was paved.

The shortcomings of being too big are exposed. Now Lu Xiaobu only has a few available people, and Ouyang Xin and Gongsun Jiuyang want to say that their combat effectiveness is quite good, but if they are doing business or something, they might as well just donate gold coins to

Those poor people can at least get their gratitude.

Rubbing his head depressedly, Lu Xiaobu decided to go to the slave market to see if he could buy some talent, although the chance was not much higher than the chance of winning the lottery in his previous life.

After wandering around several famous streets for a long time, Lu Xiaobu finally found a slave trading market called "Edward" in an inconspicuous place. As soon as he entered the slave market, Lu Xiaobu's brows

He couldn't help but frown. The smell here was not much better than the sewer in his previous life, which made him really uncomfortable.

I saw that both sides of the entire street were lined with various cages. Each cage was less than three square meters, but there were four or five slaves crowded in it. The few tattered cloths on their bodies could only cover their bodies.

Vital parts of their bodies emitted waves of stench. Lu Xiaobu even saw that some slaves' legs were rotten to the point of disgrace, with some fat white bugs rolling back and forth in the wounds, but their masters did not treat them.

means below.

Most of these slaves have dull eyes, their pupils are covered by a layer of mist, and they have no desire for life. They just mechanically follow the slave master's instructions and perform various actions in the cage to attract the interest of the guests.

Seeing that the slaves on the whole street were in this condition, Lu Xiaobu's heart immediately went cold. No matter what these slaves did before or how outstanding their abilities were, as long as they lost confidence in life, they would be in trouble.

What you bought back was just a bunch of walking corpses, completely useless.

But Lu Xiaobu still held on to the last bit of luck in his heart, endured the stench, and walked towards the other end of the street...
