Chapter 77 - 77 Third Master Zhou

77 Third Master Zhou

Then he looked away and lowered his head like the other slaves.

He had to cure Qing’er as soon as possible, so he had to choose Qingshi Town.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao looked at a dying young man among the slaves not far away.

The young man seemed to have noticed Li Xiao and weakly smiled back at him.

Li Xiao nodded his head without showing any emotion.

Suddenly, a man wearing a black outfit on the stage sounded a gong.

Following that, the spectators who were engaged in a heated discussion quieted down and looked towards the stage.

“Cough…everyone, this is Third Master Zhou! From today onwards, the Zhou family’s slave business in will be taken over by our Third Master Zhou!” He said.

Then, he walked forward with a short whip in his hand and made a fist at the audience.

The audience began to talk.

Some people asked about the identity of this Third Master Zhou, while others asked if there would be any changes in the rules of buying slaves in the future.

However, Third Master Zhou just watched and let his subordinates answer the questions.

“The rules are the same as before. We will be auctioning here as usual. The highest bidder will win the bid! After paying, you will be able to take the slave away. In addition, the Zhou trading company will make the slave seal for free!” A staff member said loudly.

“Alright, cut the crap. Let’s start now.” Third Master Zhou suddenly said impatiently.

“Yes, Third Master!”

Then, he put the gong aside and pulled a woman forward and rudely pushed her to Third Master Zhou’s side.

When he smelled the odor on the woman’s body, a hint of disgust flashed in Third Master Zhou’s eyes.

Then, he lifted the woman’s head with the end of the short whip and glanced at the woman from top to bottom.

“A young girl of 18 years old. You can order her around after you take her home. She can also warm the bed and provide children. The starting price is 20 taels!”

“21 taels!” A middle-aged man in the crowd immediately called out the price.

“22 taels!” Another man shouted.

“22 taels and 5 coins!” A man who looked like a hunter also called out the price.

On the stage, Third Master Zhou frowned.

“You have to bid 1 tael higher each time,” he said in a deep voice. Who the f * ck would raise the price by a few coins? It was a waste of time.

A hint of hesitation flashed across the hunter’s face. He glanced at the woman on the stage and did not say anything.

The rest of the people also did not say anything else.

Third Master Zhou was really unreasonable. They couldn’t even see the woman’s face properly.

He said that she was only 18, and was she really? If he bought an old woman who could not have children, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

Seeing that no one was bidding anymore, Third Master Zhou looked annoyed.

An 18-year-old girl could easily be sold for 40 taels of silver! It was only 22 taels at the moment and no one was bidding anymore? They were all f * cking poor people!

His father told him that the people in Qingshi Town were rich. Rich my ass!

“Yo, Master Zhou, it’s obvious that this is your first time doing business. For a female slave like this, age, figure, and face are the most important. If you didn’t let her wash her face, why would anyone bid?” A middle-aged woman wearing a hairpin and heavy makeup said.

Many people in the crowd recognized this woman. She was the owner of the brothel called Xunfang Pavilion. She would come here occasionally to buy women.

If this female slave really fell into her hands, she would be living in a nightmare.

However, everyone agreed with her. Why would they bid if they couldn’t see the woman’s face?
