C447 Suspicious Kei Dan

Luo Jianjian and Feng Qing turned their Slave Market around and were about to leave. Luo Jianjian suddenly saw the entrance to the market. A carriage covered in black cloth had just arrived.

The moment the carriage stopped, many slave owners rushed towards it.

"Let's go take a look!"

Luo Jianjian and Feng Qing also walked towards the carriage and looked at the driver from afar. The driver reached out his hand to pull off the black cloth covering the carriage.

Beneath the black cloth was a large wooden cage made from nails. Inside the cage, there were a dozen or so little girls who were on handlebars. The eyes of these children were young and tender. They looked to be eight or nine years old, and there were even children who looked to be five or six years old.

"So many children? "Where did they all come from?"

Luo Jianjian couldn't help but ask Feng Qing in shock. Feng Qing also came from a troubled family. He sighed lightly and started to explain to Luo Jianjian.

"These children are all children from rural areas outside of Capital City. Because they are too poor, they sold their children to these slave traders for a few copper coins."

"How many coppers?" "Feng Qing, don't say too much, these are all living children …"

"What did the girl think? This is how the slavers make their money, and they certainly won't give us too much money. "

Luo Jianjian found this unbelievable. What were the thoughts running through the heads of these adults? Even if it was a bit more painful, pulling a child up would still be better than those copper coins, right?

Luo Jianjian couldn't help but get closer to the carriage as she thought. The owners of the slaves were picking out the slaves they liked, just like the merchants who were bringing in the goods. He looked at his stats, looked at his appearance, and haggled.

Luo Jianjian approached the cage and met the gaze of a little girl. The little girl avoided her eyes in fear, her little hands grabbing onto the wooden bars of the cage, looking dirty.

Luo Jianjian inadvertently glanced at the little girl's hand and was suddenly stunned. She discovered that there were a few pieces of red on the girl's fingernails.

Curious, Luo Jianjian pressed her hand against the little girl's through the cage. The little girl was frightened, but she didn't dare to struggle. She let Luo Jianjian pull her hand and carefully observe.

Luo Jianjian wiped away the girl's dirty fingers. Finally, she was able to clearly see the red color on her fingernails.

That was … This little girl, at such a young age, had dyed her nails. Luo Jianjian couldn't help but be taken aback. If she was a child from a poor family, how could she have the chance to get a baby pill?

In order to further confirm, Luo Jianjian lowered her head to sniff the centipede's pill on her fingernails. After grinding it for such a long time, there was still a faint fragrance lingering in the air.

She had spent quite a lot of time in this ancient era and had also dyed quite a few quintessence pills. She knew that this young miss of a rich family would only add spices to her quintessence.

"You …"

"Sigh!"

Luo Jianjian was about to ask where the little girl had come from, but was stopped by the slave trader.

"Madame, look, aren't you a slave owner? "Sorry, we only sell it to slave owners, not to buyers directly. If you want to buy it, you should book it from the slave owner beside you."

"Why didn't you sell it to me? I can offer a high price! "

"I won't sell it no matter how high the price you offer. This is the rule, we will only sell it to familiar slave owners. Stay away from us slaves, we won't talk to anyone. "

"I'll pay one hundred silver taels. Which slave owner wants to buy this girl? I'll take her!"

Luo Jianjian said in a high-spirited manner, but all the slave owners knew her identity, so they all remained silent. No one answered. Luo Jianjian was infuriated, so she raised the bid again.

"Two hundred taels of silver!" As long as you buy this girl, you can sell her to me! "

Hearing this, the surrounding slave owners were all intrigued. Although he did not answer directly, someone had already approached the slave trader and asked for the girl.

Seeing that Luo Jianjian had raised the price, the slave trader sat down and offered a higher price to the slave owners. In the end, this little girl was bought by a slave owner for 80 taels of silver.

Luo Jianjian looked around and was so excited that she wanted to trade with the slave owner. The slave owner locked the little girl in his cage and stopped Luo Jianjian.1

"Madam, please wait a moment. If you want this girl, you can first pay a hundred taels of silver. In two days, come back with the other hundred taels for her."

"Why wait two days? I will take her and leave today. I can give you money right now! "

Luo Jianjian said as she was about to take out some silver. Who knew that the slave owner did not ask for much? He just drew out a note worth a hundred taels of silver from Luo Jianjian.

"I will only accept the silver. Say it, in two days time, you will come again to pay that one hundred silver taels, to take the person."

"Why?"

"This is the rule of our experts. We cannot say too much. If you want it, I'll keep it for you in two days' time. "

"I want to …"

Luo Jianjian acted tough, but before she could finish, she was stopped by Feng Qing. Feng Qing signaled with his eyes. Several tall and sturdy men appeared beside the slave owner.

Luo Jianjian was naturally not afraid, but Feng Qing seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated, as if he had something to hide. Luo Jianjian had no choice but to agree to the slave owner's request.

"Then two days. Two days later, I will come to get them!"

"Alright!" Take care! "

Seeing Luo Jianjian agree, the slave owner immediately smiled and respectfully sent her off.

After exiting the Slave Market, Luo Jianjian turned around and asked Feng Qing in confusion.

"Why didn't you tell me to do it? That's the rule of an overlord, and you're the imperial bodyguard. Can't you control them? "

"Miss, slavery is legal in Heaven's Enlightenment, Slave Market is the same as the commercial market. As long as the law doesn't break the law, it's fine. Those slaves were sold by their parents on their own accord, and they owned the property of the slave owners. As such, the rules were left to them. You are a buyer and a negotiator. If you want to buy, buy. If you don't want to buy, no one will force you to. Even if this matter were to reach the emperor, it would only make sense for the owner of the slave to do so. The Emperor loves you dearly. If he were to side with you, it would definitely arouse the displeasure of the slave owners. Although the Emperor wasn't afraid of this, this slave system was deeply rooted, and wasn't something that could be solved overnight. You... "It's better not to work too hard."

Feng Qing said helplessly. Luo Jianjian was so angry that she couldn't speak. In his heart, he desperately wanted to abolish the slave system.

Luo Jianjian suppressed her anger and returned to Luo Mansion with Feng Qing.

Just as he reached the door, he suddenly heard a scream from the street. He looked towards the scream, only to see Luo Jingxuan quickly running towards the Luo Mansion, followed by a bunch of women desperately chasing after him.

"Help! Help! "

"Handsome hubby, don't run!"

"Young master, please wait!" This humble one is truly happy to have you! "

Luo Jingxuan ran back to the Luo Mansion in a sorry state and hurriedly closed the doors before finally getting rid of the group of women. Upon closer inspection, Luo Jianjian and Feng Qing realized that this group of women were out of the ordinary.
