Du Wei heard the cry and looked towards the official slave workshop. He saw a row of neatly dressed slaves standing there on the high platform. Different from the barbarians and natives, these official slaves were obviously from the original
A servant or servant of a fallen noble family. And the person who called him was standing at the end of the group of slaves.
A guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, wearing a tattered robe. The robe seemed to be of good quality originally, but now it was dirty and torn. The man was trembling. He suddenly shouted this voice just now, and was immediately beaten by the slave behind him.
The dealer caught up and whipped him several times.
But the man stared at Du Wei, ignoring the whip on his body, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Master! Master Du Wei, please buy me! Buy me!"
Du Wei glanced at the guy and felt vaguely that he looked familiar, but he forgot where he had seen him.
He stopped and walked towards the official building. Someone immediately moved out of the way. The slave trader on the high platform saw Du Wei and quickly put away his whip. Now Du Wei's identity was seen by everyone.
Wei pointed at the guy on the high platform and frowned: "Who are you? Do I recognize you?"
"Master Du Wei..." The guy looked anxiously and looked around in embarrassment. Then he seemed to grit his teeth and said loudly: "I am Marquis Solomon..."
Du Wei's eyes lit up and he looked at the tattered clothes on this guy. He immediately interrupted him and said with a smile: "I know!"
After saying that, he glanced at Ruolin: "Buy it! No matter how much it costs, buy this guy and bring him back to me."
After saying that, Du Wei left without looking back: "Sandy, take me outside for a walk."
Sandy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he followed him in a hurry.
Du Wei walked out of the slave market as quickly as possible. He glanced at the panting boy behind him. He asked quickly in a low voice: "Let me ask you, if I want to buy a group of official slaves, and I want to choose
The person I designated! But I’m worried that other nobles will rob me, and I don’t want to offend too many people. How can I do it?”
"This..." Sandy was a little embarrassed: "Duke... Master..." He took a breath and whispered: "Sir, I know your status is noble, but the official office is opened by the royal family, and the people inside are not like
Those ordinary slave traders have rules, who will buy and who will sell. They are all determined in advance. Some people can sell, some cannot, and some are special and have been booked very early.
Gone. So you may not be able to buy the person you want...for example, some damsels in distress from wealthy families...those are very popular."
"Get out!" Du Wei laughed and kicked the boy: "I don't want women, I want a group of men."
"Man? This is easy." Sandy breathed a sigh of relief.
Among official slaves, the most sought-after children are often the children of noble families in trouble, especially some beautiful ladies. They are bought back as personal favorites. Imagine a noble lady who once rose to high status, but was bought by him.
Buy it and ravage it at will. Many men like this style.
As for men... those children of noble families, or some servants, are also hot commodities, but with the status of the Duke, it should not be difficult to get a group of them.
"As long as you spend some money, it'll be no problem." Sandy thought for a moment: "But as you know, I'm just a street kid, and I don't know much about things in the officialdom. But I know there is a person.
There is a way..."
Du Wei glanced at this kid and said: "Well, you come back with me. I think you are quite smart. If you are willing, you can follow me in the future. I will leave this matter to you later, eh.
...I can't come to this kind of place often. Once this matter is done, I will be rewarded heavily."
Why did Du Wei buy that Solomon family member?
Because he saw the identity of the slave who called him! Vaguely, he seemed to have seen this guy in the gold-selling cave in the suburbs, in the entourage of Marquis Solomon!
The man who called Du Wei, although Du Wei didn't quite remember his appearance, he recognized him when he saw the tattered robe on him!
Generally speaking, the stewards in aristocratic and wealthy families wear robes of that style!
What kind of people does Du Wei lack? He just needs people like this who can help him run his industry!
Who is Solomon? He was a former royal merchant! He specialized in managing many royal properties! After his downfall, the family properties were taken back...but there must be a group of business talents who helped him manage and operate those properties!
After the guy named Gu Luo went back, he immediately and carefully reported to the superiors what happened to Duke Duwei at the slave market today. What surprised Gu Luo was that Count Villa immediately called him in person.
Asked.
Guro was originally just one of the many stewards in Count Villa's house. With his status, he might not be able to be personally visited by Count Villa for questioning once a year. This time, Count Villa called him.
After questioning him for a whole night, Guro told today's events in detail. Count Villa seemed very satisfied, but at the end, Count Villa suddenly looked at his steward with a smile: "
Gu Luo, I have something that I need you to do now, but I want you to feel a little wronged. But don’t worry, after the matter is done, I will send you to the north, and you will be fully responsible for the business in the north. What?
Sample?"
When Gu Luo heard this, he was greatly surprised and knelt down with a plop: "Sir... you?"
Being solely responsible for the business in the north? That’s a huge fat loss!
Although it is good to stay in the Imperial Capital, there are so many people in charge of the Earl in the Imperial Capital, and I am just one of them. But if you are sent to the north and be the person in charge, it is better than staying in the Imperial Capital and being everywhere.
Kowtowworm is much more prosperous! And with so many businesses handled every year, there is a lot of money!
"Very good!" Count Villa nodded: "Then I will wrong you a little today."
After saying that, he suddenly stood up, his face darkened, and he shouted loudly: "Here comes someone!"
Immediately outside the door, two guards quickly came in. Count Villa pointed at Gu Luo who was kneeling in front of him: "Drag him out and beat him hard! Break his legs, and then send someone to beat him."
Carry him to the residence of Duke Duwei! Put it on the street in front of the Duke's residence, leave it there for a whole morning and then carry it back to me!"
Glancing at the pale Gu Luo, Count Villa smiled "gently": "Don't worry, Gu Luo, I will find a good healing mage to treat your injuries."
Seeing Gu Luo being dragged out by the guards with a panicked look on his face, a moment later Gu Luo's screams could be heard in the yard.
"Here comes someone." Count Villa sighed and called in a low voice. Soon, two servants in green clothes appeared at the door.
"Go to the house outside the city and select four clean-looking girls who are thirteen or fourteen years old from among the young girls who are being trained, and then send them to the temple to give to Her Royal Highness the Saint Princess. I heard that Her Highness lacks a few cleaners.
The servant of the altar was specially sent to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess."
After doing all this, Count Villa picked up the glass of scarlet wine in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and then whispered to himself: "Huh, one is the popular Grand Duke, and the other is the Royal Princess and the Saint.
, I can’t offend anyone, I can’t offend anyone…”
The bright red color of the wine reflected on Count Villa's face, making his originally pale face seem to be stained with a faint blush. The Count held the cup and smiled.
"I don't offend anyone... Well, let's talk about our regent... He killed the eldest prince, but now he treats the princess so favorably. God knows what the regent has in mind.
...You can't move. I absolutely can't act rashly now. I have to wait until the regent's intention is clear before I take sides! Otherwise, I'm on the wrong side, which is no joke."
Almost at the same time.
Du Wei had returned to his own house, and the little Sandy he brought back was thrown directly to Mader: "Find him a room. From now on, he will be my personal follower. You can teach him the rules."
After a pause, Du Wei was about to go back to his room, but suddenly stopped again, thought for a while, and told Mader: "Tomorrow morning, there will probably be some excitement at the door of our house. But then you can close the door tightly, no matter what
No matter what weird things happen on the street outside, our family members are not allowed to go out to watch the excitement. No matter what happens outside, we will treat it as if we can't see or hear it. Do you understand?"
