C27 Black Market

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's get back to business."

Luo Jiuhuang and Mo Qing came to the black market's largest slave market, there were all kinds of slaves.

Luo Jiuhuang chose some people with strong desire to live, and both men and women added up to around twenty people.

"Boss, it's them."

The shop owner smiled at the person Luo Jiuhuang had chosen: "It seems like this young miss is an expert. These are all treasures for me. If I were to choose all of them, how would I be able to continue my business?"

Luo Jiuhuang looked at the shop owner and did not say anything. Frankly speaking, he wanted to ask for more money, but how could Luo Jiuhuang be so easily cheated?

"Twenty people. If you don't want to pay the twenty taels of silver, then forget it. When I first came here, there was also one next door. Mo Qing, let's go over there and take a look."

Mo Qing very obediently wanted to leave with Luo Jiuhuang.

The shop owner immediately stopped her, "Miss, don't go. I'm a businessman, how can I not do business when I get my hands on something. Twenty taels is twenty taels."

The shop owner was embarrassed. He thought it was a girl who was easy to trick. He didn't expect to meet such an expert.

After Mo Qing paid 20 taels of silver, he took the person away. At the black market entrance, a young man caught Luo Jiuhuang's attention.

The youth looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old. There was a wooden signboard on his neck, and it was written on it, "Sell your body and bury your father."

In the eyes of this young man, everyone had the same expression, a typical facial paralysis.

"Selling your body to bury your father." Luo Jiuhuang stopped in front of the youth.

The youth raised his eyes and stared at Luo Jiuhuang.

Mo Qing's eyebrows couldn't help but scrunch up.

The young man's face was covered in scars. It looked like he had been here for many years.

Luo Jiuhuang did not have much of a reaction, this child was just a child's child. In her previous life, she had even taken over a person whose face was completely burnt by fire.

When the youth saw that Luo Jiuhuang was actually not scared by his appearance, some expression appeared on his face: "Are you not afraid?"

Luo Jiuhuang raised his eyebrows: Why should I be afraid? Is it because of your face? "

The youth did not say anything. It was clear that he had tacitly agreed.

"I'll buy you, but I want you to serve me for five years. After five years, you can regain your freedom. How about it?"

The youth was somewhat surprised. No one that came to the black market to buy slaves would say such a thing.

After all, the majority of the goods that were bought as slaves on the black market were all the lowest quality groceries. It was impossible for them to regain their freedom one day. This was human nature.

"Alright, in these five years, my life will be yours."

Luo Jiuhuang shook his head at the youth, "No, I do not need your life. I only want your loyalty."

Luo Jiuhuang gave the youth ten taels of silver, "Take this money to buy a good coffin for your father."

The youth withdrew five liang of his money and said, "This is enough."

Luo Jiuhuang did not force Mo Qing to take it back.

"Where will I find you when I bury my father?"

"Luo Mansion, my name is Luo Jiuhuang."

Just as Luo Jiuhuang's voice fell, a trace of doubt surfaced in the eyes of the youth and the twenty odd slaves. Luo Jiuhuang's name could be said to be a household name within Xuanyuan Empire, and he did not resemble the person in front of him at all.

How could Luo Jiuhuang not know what they were thinking?

"Words are fearsome."

Luo Jiuhuang only said four words, and left with the rest of the people. The youth stood on the spot and watched as Luo Jiuhuang's group walked further and further away, tightly holding onto the silver, and took down the wooden board on his neck, leaving the black market.

Luo Jiuhuang brought this group of people to his villa. Every child of the Luo Family had their own villa.

However, Luo Jiuhuang was not good at taking care of things, so after being abandoned for so many years, it just so happened to be useful.
