The new book of the burning prairie star

Chapter 245 Are You Familiar with This City?

"Hey, sir... sir... okay, I'll give it to you." Seeing that they were about to walk out of the house, the broker hurriedly ran forward to stop them and agreed to their request.

"Master, I can't let you pick any female guard you want, I..." Before the broker could finish his words, Jiang Sheng pulled Yang Biao and turned around to leave again.

"Oh, okay, sir, come here and choose one." In fact, even if Yang Biao was asked to give him fifty taels of silver, the pawnbroker would be willing to do so if he wanted to give him a female guard as a gift. However, the pawnbroker saw that Yang Biao did not bargain and thought that he was a wealthy man who did not care about such a small thing. However, he did not expect that the people around him were difficult to deal with.

"It's the girl in goose yellow," Yang Biao pointed at the young girl in front who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. Apart from her sharp eyes, she was young and relatively uninvolved, which was why he chose this girl.

"Okay, then come here with me to get the indenture." He took the silver note handed over by Yang Biao and asked the officer stationed at the pawnshop to stamp it with the official seal.

"Many of these people were originally soldiers?" When following the broker to handle the population transfer procedures, he looked at their deeds. Thirty-three people were bought, and twenty-one were soldiers. Yang Biao shook his head. This prefect of Guangshu Prefecture was really messing around.

"Yu Tianrui, you have been a soldier in this city for many years. Do you know where to buy and sell horses?" Yang marked the personal information of these people. The journey back to Yangjia Village is long, and they can't let them walk to Yangjia Village. They still need to buy horses for them to ride.

"Master, there is a horse farm set up by the government on Furong Street, which provides a special place for people to sell horses." Hearing that he wanted to buy a horse, Yu Tianrui led them there with ease.

"Go and ask the price!" Seeing that he was very familiar with the place, Yang Biao decided to let him bargain.

"Master, how many horses do we want to buy?" If we buy more, there will be more room for bargaining.

"Well, let's buy sixty horses first." Yang Biao had to go to another brokerage firm to buy people, so he gave Jiang Sheng a stack of silver notes and asked him to go with him, instructing him to pay for the horses later and bring back the people he would buy later to the inn.

"Yes, master!" After receiving the instructions, Yu Tianrui took Jiang Sheng to a young horse dealer.

"Mao Tong, you guys go to the tea stall over there and wait for me first." Yang Biao took out ten taels of silver from his purse and handed it to him, pointing to a tea stall not far away.

"Yes, master!" After receiving his instructions, everyone went over and waited.

"Zhu Ying, come with me!" He was not interested in the bargaining process for the horse, so he planned to take his female guard with him to buy some more people to join him.

"Yes, master!" Zhu Ying didn't seem to be a talkative person. She responded and followed him silently.

"Are you familiar with this city?" Yang Biao looked at the contract and knew that she was a family-born child.

"My lord, I used to come here often with my father to protect my former master." Zhu Ying felt a little sad when she thought of her relatives. She wondered where they had been sold to by the government now.

"Oh, then do you know any other reputable dental clinic nearby?" Since he was familiar with it, that was perfect. He didn't have to ask anyone about the location of the dental clinic.

"Master, please follow me." Zhu Ying then walked in front of him and led the way for him.

"Sir, is there anything I can do for you?" As soon as Yang Biao and his servant arrived at the door, the broker inside came out to greet them.

"Well, I'm going on a long journey, and I want to buy a few people with martial arts skills to protect me." Yang Biao didn't say much and told him the purpose of the trip.

"Oh, then come in with me and pick someone." Seeing that he was standing outside the door and did not follow him in, the pawnbroker turned around and pulled him into the pawnbroker's shop.

"Please wait here for a moment, sir." The broker went to the inner room to explain the situation to the stationed officers, and then came out with a large stack of deeds.

"Master, please come with me to choose someone." The broker led him to the backyard, where many people were already waiting.

"Okay," Yang Biao nodded, walked forward and started to select people. He chose young men in their twenties who looked energetic.

"Sir, thank you for your patronage. Twenty-eight people, one hundred and fifty taels each." The broker arranged the people he had chosen to stand on the other side and took out their indentures.

"Okay!" He took out four silver notes with a face value of one thousand taels from his sleeve pocket, and then took out two silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels from his purse and handed them to the broker.

"Master, take it." After the broker checked the silver note to make sure it was genuine, he handed the people's deeds to him.

"Well," Yang Biao took the indenture and read the information recorded on it one by one. He sighed in his heart that so many soldiers who were supposed to go to the battlefield to defend against the enemy had become official slaves. There must be something strange about it.

"Zhu Ying, take your people to meet up with Yu Tianrui and the others." After completing all the formalities, he wanted to stroll around the city and see if there were any suitable candidates in other dental clinics.

"Master, there is a smaller brokerage shop not far away." Knowing that he was planning to buy someone else, Zhu Ying pointed to a street corner on the left and said.

"Well, you guys go first." With her guidance, Yang Biao smoothly arrived at another dental clinic, which was indeed slightly smaller than the previous one.

"Sir, what do you need?" Yang Biao walked in. Everyone inside was busy. After waiting for a long time, a broker finished his work and came over to greet him.

"Oh, I'm going on a long journey, and I want to hire someone who is good at fighting to protect me. I wonder if you have any?" He looked around and saw that most of the people here were dealing with renting houses, buying second-hand furniture and the like, and he hadn't seen anyone buying anything.

"Yes, come in with me." The broker took him to the backyard, where people were locked in cages with number tags on them.

"All of you raise your heads." The officer on duty flicked a whip into the air so that the customer could choose someone.

"Let them all come out. It's hard to see clearly." He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and asked the officer.

"Okay, Xiaokouzi, you release them one by one." The officer thought for a moment and asked the broker to open the lock.

"Yes, sir!" Xiaokouzi started with cage number one and released the person, letting Yang Biao take a look. If he nodded, he would let the person stay outside. If he shook his head, he would put the person back into the cage.

"Sir, for nineteen people, one hundred and fifty taels each." This is the government's guiding price. If you are good at bargaining, the price can be even lower.

"Okay," Yang Biao took out three silver notes worth one thousand taels from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Xiaokouzi.

"Master, here you go." Xiaokouzi checked the banknote, and then went with the official to find the person in charge of the pawnshop to handle the population transfer procedures.

Xiaokouzi placed a silver note of one hundred taels and five silver coins of ten taels given by the head of the pawnbroker on top of the indenture and presented them with both hands.

"Wang Qi, keep it!" Yang Biao was only concerned with looking at the deeds, and handed the recovered banknotes and silver to him.

"Yes, master!" Wang Qi was overjoyed that the master trusted him so much just after he was bought, and quickly reached out to take it.

"Let's go, it's getting late, let's find a restaurant to eat." Oh, I only went to three dental clinics and a whole day had passed. Time passed so quickly.

"Hey, don't come in, you stink!" When they arrived at a restaurant, they were stopped by the waiter with a broom.
