Chapter 143 Is She Cruel?
Creams and lotions are also available for sale.
Only when most of the customers in the store had left did Ji Yuntang take Chen Hu to the largest brokerage house in the capital.
As soon as Chen Hu entered, he found the manager and directly handed over a silver note worth one hundred taels.
"Release all of you slaves between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. Our princess wants to choose someone."
The manager of the Ren Ya Hang was a man in his forties dressed in black. He was not tall, but had a pair of shrewd eyes.
As soon as he saw Ji Yuntang, he knew that he was of high status, so he immediately said enthusiastically: "Madam, please wait for a moment. I will call someone for you right away."
Soon, more than thirty slaves stood in front of Ji Yuntang, almost half of them were men and half were women.
They were skinny and had messy hair. Some had fierce and bright eyes, while others were so timid that they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
The manager of the Ren Ya Hang said, "Madam, this is a new batch of goods. Don't be fooled by their thin appearance. They are very efficient when working."
"These people are very lowly. Just give them two steamed buns and a bowl of water a day. If you buy them back and train them, I guarantee they will be obedient and dare not do anything rash."
Chen Hu's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this.
Two steamed buns and a bowl of water, is this enough for a person to be full?
What's more, they are still in the stage of growing up and have to do hard labor. Giving them only such a little food, isn't this torturing them to death?
Some of the slaves here were trafficked, and some came here on their own because they had nowhere else to go. All of them signed death contracts, and they were the lowest class of servants in the entire society.
Some of them, after being bought, are even worse than servants and are just toys to be whipped and played with by their masters.
Chen Hu sighed again, fortunately he met a good master.
Ji Yuntang looked around and said in a deep voice: "Those who know martial arts, cooking, and reading can come forward now."
She is not a saint. Although these people are pitiful, she will not keep useless people around her.
After all, you have to bring some advantages so that she can stay by your side and be used for your own benefit.
Soon, four men and two women stood up.
Two of the men knew martial arts, two men and one woman could read, and one woman could cook.
Ji Yuntang asked them, "What are your names?"
They shook their heads and said, "I don't have a name, please give me one, Madam."
Ji Yuntang thought for a moment and said, "From left to right, the men are named Xifeng, Feiliu, Xuanbing, and Lengyan."
"The girl's name is Hongxiu, Chunyu."
The six people immediately knelt down to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Madam, for the name."
Ji Yuntang asked Chen Hu to pay the money and left the Ren Ya Hang with the six people.
Xifeng, Feiliu and Chunyu knew how to read, so Ji Yuntang asked them to go to Wanzhuanglou to help.
Xuan Bing and Leng Yan had worked as guards and knew some martial arts, so Ji Yuntang asked them to go back to Prince Ye's Palace with him to be responsible for the safety of the West Garden.
Hongxiu is good at cooking and sewing, and she also followed Ji Yuntang back to Prince Ye’s Mansion.
When they arrived at the place, they found out that the person who bought them was actually Princess Ye.
Several people were surprised and moved, and followed Ji Yuntang silently.
After Nanny Xu fell from power, Ji Yuntang carried out a major reshuffle in the Ye Palace. She asked Chen Hu to sell out all those who were disloyal and unrighteous.
Now, all those who stay in the Night King’s Mansion are trustworthy under strict observation.
Nanny Xu's minions have been completely eradicated by her.
Ji Yuntang asked Taozhi to get servants' clothes for the few people, and then took them to take a bath, tidied them up, and then brought them to her.
"There's not enough room in the West Garden. You guys should live in the North Garden next door from now on and be responsible for the cleaning and safety of the West Garden."
"Remember, I bought you back to work for me. If anyone has any evil thoughts or does anything that harms Prince Ye and his palace, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"The last person who committed treason is still in the Dali Temple's prison. If you just ask around, you'll know that I've never been a kind person. If you do your job well, I'll treat you well."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Ji Yuntang raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip. The aura of a superior poured out invisibly, and he was intimidating without even getting angry.
The three of them quickly knelt down to express their stance, "Don't worry, Princess. We are the people of the Night Palace in life and the ghosts of the Night Palace in death. We will never do anything to harm you."
Ji Yuntang nodded, and the next second, three black pills appeared in her palm.
"This is the Five Poison Pill. If you are loyal to me, I will give you the antidote in a year. If you are willing to leave the house at that time, I will also give you the indenture."
"On the contrary, if you do something to offend this princess, you will bleed to death from all seven orifices!"
In this world, Ji Yuntang doesn't trust anyone except Luo Junhe.
Her blood relatives all wanted to kill her, and she could no longer fully trust the few strangers she had just bought.
Sometimes, it's better to be careful.
Although Xuanbing, Lengyan and Hongxiu were afraid, they still took the pills without hesitation.
Ji Yuntang curled his lips in satisfaction, "Go and do your work!"
Only then did they retreat.
To be fair, Ji Yuntang gave Chen Hu three more pills of the same kind and asked him to watch Xifeng, Feiliu and Chunyu eat them.
Ji Yuntang looked at Tao Zhi who was standing beside him, and asked her with a smile, "Do you think this princess is cruel? Give them some poison."
Taozhi shook her head and said firmly: "No, the princess is a kind person, but kind people in this world are the easiest to be bullied."
"I know in my heart that you have had a harder time than anyone else in the Night Palace. Only when you become strong and stand up can we support our entire palace. You are doing this not only for the safety of the prince, but also for the good of the entire palace. I don't think the princess has done anything wrong."
Taozhi knew very well that if these people were loyal to Ji Yuntang, their future would be bright, otherwise they would die without a burial place.
So, isn't Ji Yuntang giving a few people a chance?
However, whether they can grasp it depends on themselves.
Ji Yuntang smiled and said, "You little girl are becoming more and more insightful."
Taozhi curled her lips implicitly, "It's all because of what the princess taught me."
"According to the date, the time for the Seventeenth Prince's treatment is almost up. You should come to the palace with me tomorrow."
"Yes, Princess." Taozhi responded softly.
The next morning, the morning light was dim.
Ji Yuntang waited on Luo Junhe until he finished his breakfast and gave him acupuncture on his eyes before he slowly spoke.
"Ah He, I'm going to the palace to treat the Seventeenth Prince. Maybe I'll meet Nanny Shen. Do you have anything you want me to say to you?"
