Chapters. 17 Buying Slaves

After coming out of the cloth and clothing store they immediately went to buy horses and immediately darted to the slave market which was not too far from there. About ten minutes they had Samapi at the gate of the slave market.

After they entered with the gatekeeper to meet the owner of the slave market. Then Xi Lilian said the specifications of the slave he wanted.

“Sorry Young Master both is there a need that can this Old one help.” Said Mr. Ye Hongli the owner of the slave market, which was a grandfather about 70 years old but still looked fit and powerful.

“Begini Big Master, me and my Gege want all the slaves who are 14-25 years old can it?” Xi Lilian asked straight to the point and there was no need for a stale base.

“Ah is that true? Alright let me escort the two Young Masters to see first so that you can also choose the one that suits your wishes. Let's Young Master.” Bring Grand Master Ye Hongli.

After that they followed the owner of the slave market to where the slaves were.

It turned out that the place was not what Xi Lilian had imagined to be terrible and full of torture. But the place looked clean and tidy, and the slaves there were also treated how they should, they also seemed to have been taught enough skills to be employed.

But even so they will also receive penalties if they are not kind or disrespectful to customers or people who will buy them.

As he witnessed at the moment, there was a middle-aged female slave who felt unacceptable if the person who bought it was only from among the small nobles who looked very simple and poor according to him.

“Emm, Big Master Ye can you take us to the slave place that is 25 years old and down asked Xi Lilian.

“Ah of course let young master, will..” greeting Mr. Ye truncated eh greeting Chen Zhang Wen.

“Wait a minute Xiaolian, let's go over there for a minute.” Said Chen Zhang Wen who seemed to be looking at someone he knew.

Then they rushed towards a room where the slaves were like a holding room. It was with iron bars that restricted them.

After arriving in front of someone he saw earlier and making sure that the person was someone he knew then he immediately asked the person.

“Tabib Liu, how can you be here? What happened, why is your situation like this.” Chen Zhang Wen asked a person who turned out to be a former imperial physician, who currently looked pitiful as his entire body was filled with bruises and scratches.

Physician Liu who heard someone ask him then he turned his head and looked at the person who questioned him just now.

But he did not recognize him, but he seemed familiar with the voice of the person. And it took a long silence to remember whose voice it was.

It was clear that physician Liu did not immediately recognize the person who had invited him to speak because Chen Zhang Wen was currently also wearing the half-face mask Xi Lilian had given him. Because he does not want many people who recognize and know his identity.

When the healer wanted to mention his name, it was stopped by Chen Zhang Wen.

Seeing this, Xi Lilian understood and he immediately told Master Ye that he also wanted that person who was Liu's former imperial physician.

Because based on the memory of his body, he knew the reputation of a healer Liu, whose credibility and good performance and friendly people were also honest in every action. In addition, Xi Lilian also felt that there was a big conspiracy behind the incident that befell these two people.

Hearing Xi Lilian who understood his point Chen Zhang Wen looked at Xi Lilian as if to say thank you.

So did Physician Liu also thank Xi Lilian for taking it from this slave place.

Although Physician Liu did not know the identity of Xi Lilian, but from his assessment of Xi Lilian was a good person and also brave. If not, then he would be afraid to take it from this place of slavery, because he knew the background and most likely if bringing him along with him was the same as looking for trouble with the imperial people.

After that they turned to the slave place that Xi Lilian wanted. And Xi Lilian chose 273 slaves whose ages range from 14-25 years. It consists of 75 women and 198 men. Coupled with physician Liu, the total number of slaves taken by Xi Lilian was 274.

“So how much total do I have to pay for all of them Mr Ye?” ask Xi Lilian.

“2 gold teal for each slave but special former imperial healer was 4 golden teal Young Master. So everything 550 gold teal.” Reply big master Ye.

“Well then accept, please provide a carriage or cart to take them all to this address.” Xi Lilian said as he handed over a large bag containing 1000 gold Taels as well as the address of the residence he had just purchased which was a residence that had a large field.

“This young master is too much, not only to rent a horse carriage to drive them all even to buy it is still a lot left.” Said big master Ye

“Nothing, that is the rest for you Sir, for I am very satisfied with the service of all your workers, and I am also satisfied with your treatment of these slaves, sir, they can educate them without violence.

And that's my appreciation of your wisdom. And to buy a horse-drawn carriage for them, take this and tell them to ride until the residence so there is no need to hire a coachman anymore.

And this time I beg your help Great Lord Ye, sorry to have troubled you. Xi Lilian replied as she handed the bag of 500 golden Taels to master Ye Hongli.

After Tuann Ye opened the bag how surprised he was, seeing the number of coins in the bag plus the one, how rich this Young Master was, he said, so willing to spend so much money just to buy slaves and chariots for his slaves.

“This young master is too much, I will take half of this, this is enough to buy a horse carriage for them and....” before his word is finished already in serobot by Xi Lilian.

"Get everything. The rest is for you and your employees who have taken pains" Xi Lilian said convincingly.

So that Master Ye Hongli who heard Xi Lilian's words could not refuse anymore and received goodwill from Xi Lilian.

"Then thank you Young Master, it's nice to be working with the two of you. Please pay a visit back if there is anything needed again" Master Ye Hongli told Xi Lilian and Chen Zhang Wen.
