After hearing this, the five young escorts immediately knelt down and said, "Yes, you guys remember it."

Gu Jinli looked at Qin Sanlang and smiled at him: "Brother Qin, go try their skills."

Qin Sanlang smiled and nodded, then moved towards killing the five people.

The five escorts immediately fought back, but all five of them were no match for Qin Sanlang. Within a quarter of an hour, they were beaten to the ground by Qin Sanlang.

Gu Jinli frowned, this skill is a bit of a challenge.

Qin Sanlang said: "If you go back and let Uncle Six and Grandpa train you for two years, you can defeat a few bandits."

"Can we only fight off a few bandits?" Gu Jinli was still not satisfied. She bought these people from the escort agency to deal with the soldiers.

The Emperor of Chu is so capable, and now with the help of his old ministers, the chaos in the northwest has been suppressed. However, with the emperor of Chu's character of controlling everything, it will be over for Chu sooner or later.

For the sake of herself and her family, she had to train a guard in advance who was as skilled as the army. If Da Chu were to die, she could use the trained guards to protect her family and prevent them from dying in troubled times.

After hearing this, Qin Sanlang paused and looked at her with a deep look in his eyes. He seemed to have guessed the purpose of buying these people. But now that there were so many people, he couldn't ask more questions. He could only suppress his words and put the five little escorts to death. Pulled up.

"Aunt Lu, our family wants these five people." Gu Jinli said to Aunt Lu.

Aunt Lu was a good person. When she saw that Gu Jinli seemed to want to buy some people who knew how to box and kick, she immediately came over and said, "Little guest, we Guanya still have dozens of people who know how to box and kick. Do you want to buy them? Those people are just for people." The guardians of the hospital are just some families who don’t have enough money to spare, and some families have committed crimes, so they were sent to Guanya. How about I call them here and let the little guests take a look? "

Third Grandpa frowned when he heard this and asked Aunt Lu: "My master has committed a crime. What was it?"

Aunt Lu smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just the crime of corruption. The master's family was arrested, and all the servants were confiscated and sold."

He added specifically: "It has nothing to do with the recent water bandit case."

Aunt Lu said this because the water bandit case caused panic in Jianghuai and Jiangnan. Many wealthy families came to buy people, but they were not willing to buy servants from people related to the water bandit case.

Gu Jinli was also not willing to buy an official servant who was involved in the water bandit case.

Then he asked Aunt Lu: "Are there any maids who know how to fist and kick?"

She wanted to buy a few maids who were good at fisting and kicking, so that they could be used to protect Gu Jinxiu in the future, or be kept by her side to help.

Aunt Lu said: "There are six of them. Can I bring them all to show to the little guest?"

Gu Jinli nodded: "Sure."

Aunt Lu was very happy, and soon she brought over sixty servants, divided into three groups: "The group on the left was sold by the master's family who came here because they were fleeing from famine, and had no money to spare; the group in the middle was the master's. Domestic criminals are sold as official slaves; the six on the right are maids who know some fists and kicks, please take a look at them."

After that, he handed her three more booklets and asked her to read the records on them.

Gu Jinli flipped through the book and looked at the six maids from the corner of his eye. Although they were nervous, they were very well-behaved and did not do anything arrogant when she was not paying attention.

After a while, she closed the book, walked up to a maid, and said: "Tong Dayu, sixteen, the Tong family gave birth to a son, and he worked as a personal maid for the young lady of the Tong family. Because the young lady died of a heart attack, the whole family was taken over by the master. For sale?”

Tong Dayu bowed and said, "Report to my young master, that's right."

Gu Jinli looked at her wrist and saw a silk flower made of white cloth on her wrist... This was a custom in Da Chu. If someone in the family passed away, they would wear white flowers on their body.

Tong Dayu wore a white silk flower on his wrist, probably because he wanted to wear it for Miss Tong's family, but he was afraid that others would see it and think she was unlucky.

"Why are you wearing white silk flowers on your wrist?" Gu Jinli asked deliberately.

Tong Dayu immediately knelt down and choked up the reason, which was exactly what Gu Jinli had guessed. Finally, he begged: "Little master, in thirteen days it will be Miss Tong's 100th day. At that time, I will take the white silk flowers." I have a fever, is it done?"

Gu Jinli didn't mind this.

Aunt Lu said from the side: "Little guest, don't feel unlucky. This Tong Dayu is a kind and loyal person. He only wants to do his last bit of service for Miss Tong's family... It's also unlucky for her family. , Miss Tong had heart disease since she was a child, and she had been taking medicine to survive these years. However, after Miss Tong died, Master Tong and Mrs. Tong were still too sad and angry at the servants who served Miss Tong. It’s sold, and there are seven people in it.”

However, the Tong family still had some conscience and did not sell Tong Dayu's family to the private sector. Otherwise, Tong Dayu's sisters would be bought into prostitution by the madam in the building.

Gu Jinli looked at the records in the booklet, and then went to see Tong Dayu's parents and brothers. After knowing that Tong Dayu's father and Tong brothers were nursing homes, he was very satisfied and bought all seven members of their family.

Tong Dayu's family cried with joy. They thought their family would be separated from each other, but unexpectedly they were sold to another place. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Jinli and the others: "Thank you, little master, and the old master."

The third grandfather couldn't see this, and waved his hand to tell them to get up quickly.

Gu Jinli and the others stayed in Guanya for most of the day and bought twenty servants, but Gu Jinli still felt that it was not enough. There was too much work in the pharmaceutical workshop. How much work could these twenty people do in a day?

But these were the only twenty people she could like in Guanya.

Aunt Lu saw it and hurriedly said: "When will the little guest leave Fucheng? Our Guanya will have another batch of goods in two days. There will be about a hundred people. Why don't the little guest come and take a look then? I guess we can buy it. A few satisfying ones.”

After hearing this, Gu Jinli didn't nod immediately, but said, "We'll talk about it later."

After hearing this, Aunt Lu didn't say anything else. Instead, she took the banknote from Gu Jinli and went to help her get the deeds of sale for twenty servants.

Nowadays, the price of buying people has increased, and buying people in Guanya is more expensive. Although Uncle Cheng helps, it still costs three taels of silver each. However, Guan Ya would help her go to the government to exchange for the red deed, which saved her a lot of money.

Aunt Lu said: "Little guests, don't think it's expensive. Although the price of buying a person is more expensive than some time ago, it is still much cheaper than in previous years when there were no victims to flee the famine. Buying a person in a good year is expensive. Buying a person is expensive. A person who knows boxing and kicking will cost you at least a dozen taels of silver, and it’s so popular that you can’t even buy it.”

In addition to the twenty servants that Gu Jinli bought, Gu Daya also bought two households with a total of eight servants. These people can make roast ducks and cook in restaurants. They have a contract to sell themselves, so they can use them with confidence.

After Gu Jinli and the others waited in Guanya for half an hour, Aunt Lu brought them the red deed they had exchanged: "Young guest, eldest sister of the Gu family, this is the deed of sale for the servants of your two families. Take it."

Gu Jinli took the deed of betrayal and asked Aunt Lu, "Auntie, can you help us check on a few people who came from the northwest?"

She told Aunt Lu about the situation of Gu Fuya's family.

Third Grandpa was listening with red eyes. He came here because he wanted to come to Yaxing to ask if there was any news about Fuya's family.

It's a pity that Aunt Lu helped flip through the book for more than an hour, and finally shook her head and said: "There is no such family, go to Private Ya and ask, maybe you can find it there."

Third Grandpa was very sad to hear this, but he still thanked Aunt Lu and went back to Jiang Mansion with Gu Jinli and the servants he bought.

But before arriving at Jiang's house, Gu Jinli whispered to Qin Sanlang: "There is a little beggar who has been following us. Go and catch him."

Qin Sanlang nodded: "I saw it. You take the person back first, and I will catch him in a while."
